Soft shell Shrimp
Christine R.

I went to review and realized I never finished my last one. The dining area is upstairs so be prepared to walk up a flight. Service is outstanding. The happy hour is amazing! Great deals for sushi, appetizers, and drinks. I got 2 maki rolls - spicy tuna and salmon skin, the Element, the little gem salad, and the caipirinha. All 3 rolls were delicious, but the spicy tuna was my favorite. I come here for the Little Gem salad too because it's just perfect with the anchovies and shaved Parmesan. My drink was also well executed. They do add a 20% service fee, just as a heads up, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

Uncontested one of my favorite restaurants in DC. I love the happy hour, I love the rooftop, I love that they have great sushi and even better non-sushi/fish dishes, I love their wine selection! Every night I dream about the Garlic Edamame Dumplings. Every morning I wake up and crave the udon carbonara. My favorite nights have been painting with the backdrop of the best view of the neighborhood. Is the brunch menu my favorite? hard no. But are the drag performances AMAZING - absolutely YES!! Do they have the perfect entry way mirror to take a selfie with all your besties? Absolutely. They have thought of it all. Support women head chefs and support the beacon of Adams Morgan dining!

Okinawa Shiikuwasa Tart - amazing!!!
David E.

What a gem! In town for a few days and got lucky finding this place. Amazing happy hour! Great wines and a sparkling on happy hour. No beers on draft sadly, but hey, you can't have it all. Had some nice sushi, GREAT garlic edamame dumplings (seriously best thing I had), and a nice shrimp burger. Don't skip dessert though! The Okinawa Shiikuwasa Tart was divine!

Pleasant dinner here! Had only heard good things about Perry's and it lived up to the hype. For apps we got karaage, Caesar salad, and mochi agedashi. My favorites were the karaage and agedashi. I had ordered the walnut miso tsukemen udon, it was good but I prob wouldn't order again. My friend ordered the pork belly hot pot though and that was excellent. I also highly rec the tiramisu. Our server was so friendly and attentive, very sweet! I would come back here to try other items for sure

I came for happy hour (every day, but only offered at the bar), and it has great deals. The bar seats do fill up quickly so I suggest getting there within the first hour if you can. The shrimp katsu burger was delicious, and the sushi was great too. I would definitely come back to try other items. The bartender was also sweet and checked in often.

All the sushi our group got

Perry's is a nice Japanese-italian (and some american I'd say) fusion place in Adams Morgan. Easy to Uber to, but good luck parking. It' a .6 mile/13 minute walk from the Woodley Park Zoo metro. They need better signage. From what we could tell, there's nothing on the awning saying it's Perry's, and they're above another place (which does have a separate entrance) that at a glance looks like it shares the entrance. Perry's only has a small metal sign by the door. It gets loud in there, not overly loud, but it's something to keep in mind. Food is very good. You can tell that chef (for everything but the sushi) got a James Beard award. Everything was very flavorful. We really enjoyed our meal--the wagyu sandwich special was nice and the Karaage was nice too--and everyone else in our group was very happy with the Udon Carbonara, the mussels dish and their sushi. Service was nice too and our waitress was really insightful on everything on the menu. We're happy we came and will be back

Lauren B.

yes. yes. yes. yes. Go and get the udon carbonara everytime. Strong cocktails, fresh sushi, and a mix of entrees you can't get anywhere else. Go for a girls night, date night, take your parents - take everyone! Fun atmosphere with good food. Looking forward to trying their brunch sometime soon!

Assorted nigiri
Cynthia F.

What an amazing experience at Perry's! When making a reservation on Resy, you do have to put a card down and I believe you are charged something like $15 per person for a no show or cancellation within 24 hours- so be sure you plan to be there before making a reservation! I had my eye on the carbonara udon when choosing to come to Perry's. We ordered the udon, shrimp katsu burger, some assorted nigiri, and mochi agedashi. All the dishes were really creative, unique, and delicious! The sushi was also really fresh. Staff was nice and attentive- overall, no complaints about this visit and can't wait to come back!

Garlic Fried Rice, fried chicken
Sue J.

Got the fried chicken, garlic fried rice, onigiri, and a sushi roll off their happy hour menu. The only things we liked were the sushi roll and fried chicken, the rest weren't flavorful. Onigiri had very little filling. Service and decoration were lovely.

Wagyu roast beef sandwich
Sky W.

I was visiting DC and one of my friends in the area suggested going to Perry's for dinner. I didn't really know what to expect going in but ended up having a good time anyways. For food, my friend and I split a wagyu roast beef sandwich, I got the chirashi donburi, and my friend got the udon carbonara. The wagyu roast beef sandwich didn't have a ton of beef on it and I thought there was way too much sauce. The flavor was a bit overwhelming for me. The chirashi actually surprised me with how much sashimi was provided. Compared to the nigiri prices, I thought it was very fair. The sashimi was fresh, but not of an impressive quality. Lastly, I tried my friend's udon carbonara and thought it was okay. The udon is a bit too soft for my taste and the carbonara sauce was too thick. I can see why people love that dish though, it's so rich! Throughout the night, service was fine. I thought one issue with the dinner was that the restaurant was wayyy too loud. I was basically screaming at my friend across the table the whole dinner! When we left the restaurant, it was honestly relief for our ears. Prices seem pretty standard for DC, though I did think the chirashi donburi was an exceptionally good value. Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 2.75/5 Overall: 3.25/5

tuna lover

A beautiful romantic restaurant, perfect for date night. The main floor is upstairs, which is dimly lit for the perfect intimate setting. Came here with friends and enjoyed some delicious food also! We ordered the following: Karaage Fried Chicken: crispy and tasty (7/10) Udon Carbonara: very good flavor, love the udon(8/10) Garlic Fried Rice+Shrimp: just okay as this was strangely served in a ramen bowl and wasn't hot enough once it reached the table (6/10) Pink Panther sushi roll: very good and fresh. Wished there was more dimension in flavor (8/10) Tuna Lover: comes with 3 sashimi tuna, 3 nigiri tuna, and spicy tuna roll (loved this set, no complaints 8/10) Overall I'd love to come back to try the food, but for some reason my stomach did not feel well that night (maybe the alcohol?). Also the service was only okay (not as attentive as I would have expected for a restaurant like Perry's). It was cool I finally checked out this popular DC spot.

Carbonara Udon
Chelsea D.

So thoroughly impressed with everything at this restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious especially the famous Carbonara Udon. It's a shame because I'm from New York, and I'm upset that I can't have it again. I dream of it from time to time. Definitely worth the trip, and I hope to come back and have wonderful food again.

I forget the name and I will find out again. A game moving forward were accommodated as two different seats. There was a kids table, and there was an adult table.

I was impressed and by the experience and would definitely come back for a Japanese meal that did not focus solely on ramen or sushi. The ambiance is well done, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and able to answer any of our questions. To share, we got the spicy salmon roll, Karaage appetizer, and eggplant cheese appetizer. The spicy tuna roll was the most lackluster of the dishes, but the fish was fresh and the portion was decent for $12. The karaage appetizer was excellent. The chicken was moist and the coating was crunchy and super hot. The eggplant cheese was a surprise highlight of the meal. Pieces of eggplant in a melted cheese bowl made of eggplant was a simple combination. That was a very pleasant mix of textures. The pork Katsu was a highlight of the meal. Unfortunately forgot to take a picture, but the coding was super crispy and the portion size was pretty solid. The Unagidon or grilled eel bowl was also very well made and tasted great with the pickled ginger and seasoning on the side. The set came with miso soup which was very nice as well. My companions also got drinks which they said were well priced and good quality. Our overall meal cost somewhere in the range of $160 before tip which was reasonable given all of the items that we got. I look forward to my next visit!

Shōtō is one of DC's most striking Japanese dining experiences, equal parts upscale restaurant and high‑energy nightlife spot. The moment you walk in, you're hit with dramatic lighting, a sleek volcanic‑stone aesthetic, and a buzzy crowd that's clearly here to make a night of it. If you're looking for quiet, this isn't your place; if you're looking for a vibe, you've found it. The food is genuinely impressive. The robata‑grilled dishes are the stars, especially the short rib with chili‑soy glaze and the wagyu cuts that arrive perfectly caramelized. Sushi is clean, fresh, and beautifully presented; the hamachi and tacos are crowd favorites for a reason. The omakase is high‑quality, though ordering à la carte gives you more freedom to explore the menu's highlights. Don't skip the lobster tempura or the black cod gyoza. These are two of my absolute favorites! Service is polished and knowledgeable, though it can be a bit inconsistent on busy nights. The dress code is enforced, so come prepared...this is not a sneakers‑and‑hoodie kind of spot. Glam up! Prices are undeniably steep, and portions lean small, but the overall experience, food, atmosphere, and presentation, makes it feel like a worthwhile splurge for celebrations, date nights, or anyone who enjoys a lively, modern Japanese dining scene. If you want a quiet, traditional meal, look elsewhere. If you want great food wrapped in a high‑energy, beautifully designed setting, Shōtō delivers. Yes to this place! Over and Over AGAIN!

I have been there three times. My wife's family is in St. Louis. The chef moved to Washington, D.C. from there. His establishment in the Midwest was not bad. But his new venture in the capitol is excellent. I would gladly go anytime the opportunity presented itself. The only issue is reservations at the tiny place. (They have a time limit for tables.) They offer standard fare for a izakaya. They also have sashimi and sushi (that is not always available on a pub menu), and it is among the best you'd find in the city. The dish that has been written about in the NY Times is the ara yaki. That is prepared from leftovers, scraps that otherwise might be tossed as trash: heads, jaws, fins, bones, etc., broiled with a bit of salt. The explanation is insufficient. For this by itself, the restaurant is worth visiting. It will make you want to try to prepare the same quality from leavings. I'd bet it is like much else: simple in concept, easy to execute poorly or at a level that would be deemed middling, and frustrating or maddening to try to perfect. That also is true with the only imperfection, which was the tamago. Brought at the end, which is a custom (it can be the first course or the last course), the omelet was more rustic. It would not have passed muster with Jiro of the acclaimed documentary. The issue was the shape; it was crude. But by any standard short of perfectionism, the meal was great.
