Uyghur and Sushi fare in Northern Virginia

Spicy chicken
Queen Amannisa320, 23rd Street, South, Arlington, VA. 22202.
My first exposure to Uyghur cuisine. We tried their lamb stew, a big plate of spicy chicken with homemade noodles, and their traditional bread. Portions were large and easily shared by two. The bread was especially good. Both the dishes were well executed. Tolerable levels of spice - similar to Indian or Chinese cuisine. Reasonably priced for the location.

Takumi310-B South Washington Street, Falls Church, VA 22046. 
This is a sushi restaurant recently opened in Falls Church. Without claiming to be much of an expert on Japanese cuisine, I can say that the sashimi was fresh and best I have ever had. We tried their  tuna and scallop sushi rolls along with sake salmon rolls with mango puree. They were delicious. If I were to be critical, it would be of the small portions. However, I have found this to be true of sushi in general. Recommended for fans of sushi.
