Takumi

It’s a bit of a drive to the Northern Virginia suburbs, but this tiny sushi restaurant nestled in a nondescript strip mall has gained a loyal following among those who want to savor sushi at an affordable rate. For $40, the “fresh cuts of the day” includes a 10-piece nigiri platter, plus a sushi roll, and is more than enough to serve two people. Meanwhile, the chirashi bowl ($20) is as tasty as it is easy on the eyes, featuring a colorful mix of fresh sushi, rice, and vegetables. So if you find yourself in Falls Church, detour to Takumi for a sushi feast.
