For those Sushi lovers out there, we’re always on the prowl for new places to frequent to try some new Tuna Rolls, Spider Rolls, Crab Salad Rolls…you get the picture. We LOVE Endo Sushi, even more so because it’s got 2 locations - one in McLean across from our new office, and the other in Arlington (right in Clarendon). Their special rolls are the reasons we keep going back - their Caterpillar Rolls and Tempura Lobster Rolls - Yum!! We had lunch there today and I could go back for more!!
Anyone have other good recommendations for Sushi places?
