Bonsai Sushi on 23rd
I've had posh sushi at Nobu in New York. I've had all you can eat sushi buffets in Las Vegas. I've had Sushi delivered on vespas in Tokyo like we order Pizza. And I've had nouveau Sushi in San Francisco (french fries in it?). But nothing really beats the hole in the wall neighborhood sushi joint. The kind of place where you can sit at the sushi bar and talk to the chef -- ask him to make his favorite. Where the waitress is the same waitress every night of the week -- there's only one -- and she knows that you don't like your green tea ice cream so frozen it'll bend the spoon, so she nukes it for me for 10 seconds before she serves it. Where... on a sunny day in the summer, you can sit and eat sushi alone on the patio, watching people walk by -- but you're just as comfortable there on a blustery winter night with a close friend in intimate conversation. This is what I get from Bonsai sushi on 23rd street in Crystal City. This is place is the definition of a neighborhood restaurant and the Sushi isn't half bad either.
