 ^ nah, I just like to flap my mouth Wink

So, here's my favorit Sushi place in the DC area

KOTOBUKI Sushi & Kamameshi

4822 MacArthur Blvd., NW, 2nd Floor
Washington, D.C. 20007
202-281-6679

It's a pretty small place (just above another sushi restaurant) but they're informal and friendly and they always play The Beetles in the background. They mostly have the "traditional" types of sushi, not the fancy Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Firecrackers out the @$$. But what they have is just great! The place gets really packed on the weekends, and it can take a while to get seated. Last time I ordered a beer and drank it on the stairs with my friends (soon other people imiteated my idea laughingdp chug) so my wife and I tend to go there during the week.

My absolute favorite pick from their menu is the Fatty Tuna (Toro) hand formed (Nigiri) sushi. drool

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

I was going to post mine , and got distracted at work.

Well here is mine

Myanmar restaurant

7810 Lee Highway # C,
Falls Church, VA 22043

This is a hole in a wall place, family owned and operated. I been going there for almost 7 years now . DO NOT expect great service like you would on any chain restaurants or such , as it is family run . But food is to die for , flavor is usually chinese and indian mixed. And if you not into spicy stuffs , you can request them to make it less spicy.  If you live around falls church area def give it a try.

My favorite dish : Tilapia whole fried fish. goat curry and balachwang . their salads are awesome too .

+ a few.

Used to go there for lunch from time to time when we were working in Bethesda.  Shame that we don't have much of any decent sushi joints close to work now...

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

El Pollo Rico‎
932 North Kenmore Street (2 1/2 blocks from Virginia Square metro)
Arlington, VA 22201

Chicken, chicken, chicken (Peruvian)! A community style dining hall. You will share a table with strangers and get very messy. Mix the sauces for best results.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Sounds quite tasty, but maybe a bit distressing afterwards.

Speaking of close to you...  What happened with Sfizi's?  Stopped by there the other night and it was completely gutted on the inside.  Is he renovating, or gone?

So the place next door is owned by his brother.  Lino moved to Falls Church and his brother is expanding into the spot that was Sfizi.  I don't know if it will be the same thing (nice restaurant) or something more casual with take out.  I should stop by and ask, we haven't had dinner there in ages. 

He hooked me up with some of his family in Arezzo in case I wanted to EXPORT SOME STUFF FROM ITALY.

Rabieng on 7 between 7 corners and baileys cross roads

Owned by the same family as Duangrats. Not as fancy, but they do Thai country comfort foods and there's some damn good eating to be done there.

Name of the place: Ruan Thai
Address: 11407 Amherst Ave
             Wheaton, MD, 20902
Your thoughts of the place: It's always packed for a reason...the food is great! I've been going there for 10 years and have never had a single complaint. Do not go if you're in a hurry...there apparently isn't a word for fast in Thai. laughingdp
and your fav pick off the menu:I only get one?!? Some of my favorites...the mussels appetizer, the fried watercress, the green curry, the yellow curry, pad thai, pad kao prao, and larb gai.

Summary: YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
