No pics. Camera went crazy. If I can fix it I'll post later.
I had gotten a living social deal and so I ventured to Washington, D.C. I had plans to find a sushi place nearby. The sushi place that I had originally plugged in was closed. Then the second place there weren’t any parking spaces. Then I figured Arlington, VA is usually better to navigate anyhow. Plus I wanted to try the cupcake place Crumbs.
I drove into Arlington and being afraid I couldn’t find a parking spot I zoomed into the first free lot I could find. There was a farmer’s market going on so I wandered around before hiking to Crumbs.
I found a small sushi place almost immediately: Hikara Sushi Place on 2200 Wilson Rd, Arlington, VA. The place is cute. I think it’s near the courthouse so it probably gets busy.
When I order I usually get an order of nigiri, a regular roll, and a specialty roll. But today I saw the sushi bento box and I figure I give it a try. I got 5 pieces of sushi, 4 dumplings, steamed rice, and a California roll.
When I got my sushi my heart fell. Normally saba (mackerel) is not a type of sushi that most places put in your sushi box. I hate saba. So freaking fishy and blah. So of course it was the first thing I ate. After I got the bad taste out of my mouth I moved on to the better fishes.
Now the nigiri was a little small. So small it was almost cute. It tasted fine. It wasn’t the best tasting sushi I ever had. Now the dumplings were pretty freaking good. Another thing that tasted good was their miso soup. I haven’t finished a whole bowl of miso soup in a long time.
So overall I say the sushi was average tasting. It was funny how different a person’s perception can be. The ladies who sat next to be were raving about the sushi. I found it to be average.
Grade: C
