Seiko and Sushi · Murad & Co, Tysons · Sept 17, 2026

Vintage watches, and a sushi bar in the middle of them.

Murad & Co put their vintage watches on display for an afternoon and asked us to bring the sushi. We brought the counter and rolled to order from the moment the doors opened. Every photo here is from that day.

What actually happens

Three things every host tells us afterwards.

They crowd the counter

It becomes the busiest corner of the room and stays that way. Nobody drifts back to their seat once the rolling starts.

They come back

One roll is a taste, not a meal. Plan three to four a head and you will still finish close to the count.

They ask who made it

At the counter, while they wait, with the chef right there to answer. It is the easiest introduction a host gets all day.

Behind the bar

Thirty-five years of it, at your event.

Every roll on the menu is Chef Ngoc Le's, built over more than 35 years behind a sushi bar. He trains each chef who works an event, so the roll you get in a showroom in Tysons is the roll he would hand you himself.
