"Aoko is a sushi restaurant in Edgewater with little to no internet footprint (and not even a sign on the door). Although its beautifully minimalist interior might make you feel like you’re not allowed to touch anything, it’s actually a walk-in friendly spot that plays R&B head bobs. Their concise menu offers three omakase options. The nigiri omakase ($75) comes with 10 pieces including three cuts of tuna that progress from lean to fatty and are topped with surprise clusters of caviar here and there. The sashimi omakase ($85) has 14 pieces, and the bara chirashi ($38) is perfect for a solo meal at the sushi counter. The bowl has heaps of cubed fish atop a bed of rice. Pair any of the omakase options with an appetizer like the cold cha soba salad and you’ve got a perfectly satisfying meal." - Ryan Pfeffer
