Sticky Rice sushi + spirits on Chaz's last night in DC.

It was our first time to finally try their sushi.

[sidetrack] The first time we tried to have dinner there months before, they told us it would be a 30-45 minute wait. So, we said "no thank you," they apologized + said "sorry", + handed us a take-away menu with a handful of decals of their cute red + white logo. We then parted ways in search of dinner elsewhere. That did leave a great impression on me. No evidence of snobbery from that experience. [/sidetrack]

I have to say the sushi was pretty good tonight, though Kotobuki is still our fave sushi joint in DC hands down. I mean, Sticky Rice is a sushi place that sells a bucket of tater tots. Yes, tater tots!

Keep in mind that they are two completely different atmospheres. If you want a more traditional sushi restaurant setting complete with visible sushi chefs behind a counter ready to greet you with food that never fails to impress + a sound system that plays back-to-back Beatles hits, then vote Kotobuki. If you want more of a bar setting with awesome thumping, bass-bumping, karaoke-singing, hipster-partying type of atmosphere, then vote for Sticky Rice. It'll definitely have you leaving with a good time [not to mention, a great place to cap off Chaz's first visit to DC].

Guess it all depends on your mood + the type of people in your company. :)

I was so ecstatic to finally see the printed bus ad that DC Prep Director of Resource Development Ibby Jeppson told me about more than a year ago. She is a client of the old workplace who had asked me if they could use this photo that I took on DC Prep's First Day of School. I had seen it on the back of a bus, but didn't have a camera on me to capture it, so I was so excited to finally see it up close again. :)
