You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in, but we've got a better idea. Each week, Takoma Park Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that's worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

Family dining and sushi usually donโt go hand-in-hand, but thatโs the case with .
The welcoming staff is more than happy to suggest which types of sushi newcomers might enjoy, but also knowledgeable enough to point adventurous diners in the right direction. The dining scheme is child-friendly, but not so drab that it takes away from the experience. When it comes to the price point, it's lower than most other sushi restaurants, but not so cheap that you question how they get fresh fish and still make a profit. ย

Some of the rolls do tend to be a little bit heavy on the rice, so if you're picky about getting a good quantity of fish in your sushi, be sure to stick to the nigiri.
If you're not in the mood for sushi, their udon (noodle) soup is fantastic--especially on a cold day or when trying to kick a lingering cold. And for an appetizer, the seaweed salad is always a good bet. ย
