The following review appears in The Washington Post’s 2019 Fall Dining Guide.

(Excellent)

The most controversial sushi counter in Washington is one of its most fascinating. An import from New York, where a chef from the documentary “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” holds court, the spinoff at the back of the Trump International Hotel is in the superb hands of head chef Masaaki Uchino. The best place to catch his show is at his 10-stool counter.
