    Scallop Spring Rolls
    Russell J.

    First rate sushi in AdMo! We made a reservation for Tuesday evening. Started with Daikon Salad and Scallop Spring Rolls. Main was the Sushi and Sashimi for 2. Everything was fresh, delicious, and flavorful. Happy Hour specials seem good as well. Overall, a fantastic option!

    This was our regular pit stop every time we visited DC...from as far back as 30 years ago (or more??), and with good reason! I loved the foods, the ambiance...and even the service was always on point. Can't believe I never bothered to put in a review 'til now! Anyway, my husband and I visited this old haunt this past week while in DC...and I was relieved to see that things are still going strong here. It's been awhile since the last visit, but it seemed the decor changed quite a bit...different wallpaper, for one! One other change I noticed was that they no longer cranked up the music like they used to. That was a bummer. The menu also changed...but we still found plenty of items that were tantalizing. We shared a few plates...from Miso Soup and Edamame Dumplings, to Garlic Fried Rice with Shrimp and a Sushi Roll (can't remember the name?). Also, this decadent Souffle Cheesecake dessert. Enjoyed all...but the big winners were the Edamame Dumplings and the Souffle Cheesecake dessert. YUM!! Think my husband had Kirin beer, and I tried this Lychee Martini. Both were good...but nothing too special. As usual, the service was really good...and unusually fast! Overall, we really enjoyed the dining experience...as always. Hope to return soon!

    Tucked away in Admo, this spot really did dazzle me. It has a really trendy entrance, a bar area, and a rooftop patio. While tables are close, the vibes are great and service was phenomenal. They have a really extensive and good happy hour (bar only) that we definitely are going to try to hit next time. To start things off we got a bottle of Sake, the garlic edamame dumplings, and the seasonal scallop spring rolls. The dumplings were truly phenomenal, and the waiter even offered to bring out an extra to make it an even 6, which I thought was a nice touch. The scallop spring rolls were quite filling but full of scallop so you got your moneys worth. For our mains we tried the carbonara udon and two sushi rolls - spicy tuna and the eternity roll. DO not pass up the sushi- the spicy tuna was so fresh and not overly mayo based and the eternity roll was amazing, it felt so fresh and light with a great kick of flavor. The carbonara udon was visually stunning and quite tasty, also really filling so we took most of it home. It almost reminded me more of a bacon mac and cheese then a carbonara but I didn't mind that. For dessert we got the japanese souffle cheesecake and the little pastry with the red been and coffee gelato - both were light and airy and were a perfect end to a fantastic meal. Service was always quick - from drink refills, boxes, busing tables, etc - I can't complain about anything. Prices were very fair as well.

    There is no perfect meal, but.... I have no criticisms here. The food was incredible. To us it's on the same level as 3 Michelin restaurants we've been fortunate enough to experience. There is no shortage of umami and well layered flavors and textures in every dish. The small details to the well seasoned rice with perfectly sliced fish for the nigiri was the best of the best. Service was equally as excellent. Our host was very kind and explained the menu (our first time). I probably drank like 15 glasses of water and every single time my cup was slightly low someone would come by and fill it. Attention to water refills is an easy metric to overlook, but at Perry's they were on point. Atmosphere was casual nothing stuffy or loud. It's definitely got this chic modern look going on, but doesn't feel austere. Long story short? Absolutely crazy delicious food at a reasonable price.

    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!

    Not so great initial service. I was running late because I got out of work late, so when I went upstairs and went past the hostess desk to see my friend (who already was sitting at the rooftop and already made reservations), I got stopped. I was 5min late at this point. I told the hostess my friend was up at the rooftop and she said sassily "there is a hostess to show you the way" (aka tell me to stay put). Then I waited 10min because there was a line. And then I got stopped AGAIN at the rooftop host desk. I just wanted to sit with my friend who I haven't seen in a couple months. They also told my friend we only had 1.5 hours at our table and I was already 20min late at this point thanks to all the waiting at the front desk. The sushi rolls were pretty good. The carbonara pasta was a bit dense and heavy so if you're craving for that, pair with something fresh first. AND THEN when we were paying, we could scan and pay for our food and we ended up paying for the WRONG TABLE and spent more than we needed to. Somehow the scan showed for the wrong table and we got stopped by the waitress because she said we didn't pay for our food. So we had to pay with card and told we were going to get our money back, so we'll see. Not a great ending either. I don't know if I'll come back here.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Tiramisu
    Kelly C.

    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

We had a reservation for 7:30 p.m. for a party of 12, and I think that was the first issue. A group our size really needed a dedicated server, but instead we had one server covering our entire section. To be fair, he may have been stretched thin, but unfortunately, the service itself also left a lot to be desired. We were seated at 7:30, but our drink orders weren't taken until around 7:50. Then he disappeared for another 20 minutes before returning to take additional drink orders from people who had arrived later. We were ready to order food, but kept hearing, "I'll be right back." Throughout the night, drinks and items were forgotten. One friend finished her first glass of wine, ordered a second, and didn't receive it until we were literally asking for the check. At that point... we're leaving, friend. To make matters worse, several menu items we wanted weren't available. The mochi? Sold out. The Wagyu? Sold out. There were three or four different items people at our table ordered that were unavailable. On a Monday, that was a little surprising. Now for the good part... the sushi was REALLY good. I ordered the Yume Roll and the Tiger Roll, and both were incredibly fresh. The Yume Roll was especially unique and one of my favorite specialty rolls I've had in a while. It was made with spicy tuna, avocado, seared tuna, jalapeño, spicy mayo, eel sauce, and crunchy tempura bits, which gave it the perfect combination of heat, texture, and richness. The Tiger Roll was another standout, made with lump crab, avocado, cucumber, spicy mayo, steamed tiger shrimp, and a mango tobiko sauce. The combination of flavors was fresh, light, and perfectly balanced. I also ordered the edamame with the spicy black garlic sauce, and I absolutely loved that twist. It was a nice change from the usual salted edamame. One dish that completely missed the mark was the Tempura Rice with Chicken, which I shared with the table. Unfortunately, this was the only thing we ordered that I genuinely didn't enjoy. The chicken was dark meat, lacked seasoning, and honestly tasted like it had come straight from a bag of frozen Tyson nuggets. It didn't have the crispy, flavorful bite I was expecting and felt completely out of place compared to how fresh and well-executed the sushi was. I'd definitely skip this one on my next visit. My cocktail was just as impressive as the food. It was made with Ilegal Mezcal, pomegranate, hibiscus yuzu, simple syrup, and egg white, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The egg white gave it a silky, frothy finish, while the pomegranate and hibiscus yuzu added a bright, slightly tart flavor that paired beautifully with the subtle smokiness of the mezcal. It was as pretty as it was delicious. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. It's tucked away in an alley, so it's a little easy to miss, but once you're inside, the space is modern, spacious, and has a really cool stone bar that gives the restaurant a sleek, upscale vibe. I was also pleasantly surprised by the prices. Specialty rolls ranged from about $12-$20, with only a few premium options around $25. The edamame was about $8, so overall I thought the pricing was very fair, especially for Georgetown. Would I come back? Yes... but probably with a much smaller group. The food and ambiance are worth another visit, but I'd definitely be hoping for a better service experience next time. I also hope they have a better handle on inventory because I'd still love to try the Wagyu and finish dinner with the mochi.
