Sei Sushi

(444 7th Street NW; seirestaurant.com)
Recently opened sushi joint Sei puts a new spin on old school sushi by adding a kick of wasabi and creative flair. Along with an impressive list of sakes, the sleek restaurant offers mini plates like “drunken shrimp nigiri” and baby miso lamp chops with a side of buckwheat risotto. Carryout service is also a clever addition of this eatery which takes pride in stepping up the sushi game.
