Took my 18 yr old daughter here for drag brunch and had a great experience!!! Whole thing was well organized and ran very smoothly! Buffet was amazing food with great options and hot! We were first in line and went up again at end and still hot and great! Entertainment was full of energy and had the whole place moving! They didn't seem to be overly trying to get tips and gave you same experience if you had a ton to tip or not! I had few options to book and am so glad I chose Perrys! We will be back for sure!! read more

Yes it was dc restaurant week and yes these is being based off limited menu options. Based on all the buzz and how long Perry's has been around thought it was time to give it a go. The space is stunning, casual and nice zen from the day to day. The sashimi was amazing and was very exciting to have had that. However the dessert and service was lack luster. Understanding for restaurant week it's a limited menu but should not be limited in flavor. Had the chocolate pistachio mousse which was chocolate pudding consistency with a raspberry. No pistachio in sight. The matcha white chocolate tart was just that. A buttery shell, with white chocolate and matcha mixed together left to set in the shell. Service was not happening that night. There was a very long wait between 1st and 2nd course, 20+ mins. Tried to pay in cash and yes it was accepted however they did not have the correct amount to make change and would need to run across the street to do so. Pay with card is the optimal option. read more

Food- sushi was fresh, edamame crisp, fish tacos flavorful, sake nice and hot. Service- Devin was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and personable. Vibe- the rooftop is everything. In top of the world in Adam's Morgan, it feels fancy and casual at the same time. Covid- the tables were a good distance apart, all staff was wearing masks, and tables cleaned often. Overall, great spot to grab a bite or drink. Make a reservation. Indoor is nice too, but I love the rooftop atmosphere. read more

Arrived for winter restaurant week with my significant other. I chose the pressed fried eel for my appetizer. Was not what I was expecting, but it was delicious. I felt like the rice to eel ratio leaned more on the rice side, so I removed some, and it provided a better experience for me. The girlfriend got salmon tartar which she really enjoyed. She said it was amazing. For our second course, I chose the beef tenderloin garlic fried rice. This dish was very garlicky (according to the girlfriend), but it was amazing. I would come back for this. The girlfriend chose the omakase. I thought the sashimi was average, and she thought it was pretty standard. Still good. It came with a shrimp tempura roll with charred imitation crab on top. This was good. Finally, for dessert, I chose the sake chocolate cake. This was more like a brownie, and was my least favorite thing of the night. She got chocolate mousse with pistachio, and ended up cleaning her plate. She enjoyed it. Overall, great experience, delicious food, and left more full than expected. Our server was great, and provided amazing service. Not to the fault of the restaurant, but parking here is miserable. Circled around the neighborhood for 25 minutes until I settled for a nearby paid lot that was across the street. This was $30 for self parking. There was also valet next to the restaurant for $20, but the people and lot seemed shady. I saw they struggled fitting a car in their lot before me, which caused me to drive away. read more

Best drag brunch in DC! Perry's helped me host a 20-person celebratory brunch. Booking through Resy was super easy but they also were super kind over email when I needed to adjust my reservation. The buffet was super tasty and the queens are STARS! Everyone had the best time and I can't wait to be back! read more

Stopped in to Perry's recently to try Masako's food and it was awesome! Busy/lively restaurant that serves a mix of sushi and Japanese dishes. We tried the chicken karaage, sunchoke karaage, mochi agedashi, some salmon and fatty yellowtail nigiri, garlic edamame dumplings, mentaiko udon, miso butter clams, and a short rib and grits special. Favorites were the edamame dumplings (I could eat 5 orders of these myself), mentaiko udon, miso butter clams and short rib special. Nigiri was ok, yellowtail better than salmon. We also had a couple of cocktails which were a bit unbalanced and strong read more

I had high expectations considering the first dish we got, the hamachi crudo, was absolutely delicious but everything else seemed to go downhill. The mochi agedashi was very rubbery and tough. Spider roll was delicious with a great cook on the soft shell crab. For the pink panther, it was probably the worst fatty tuna that I've ever had but I don't blame the sushi chefs for that. The uni mac & cheese was interesting.. after our first bite, we would've liked it better with the uni and mac & cheese separate but as time went on, the flavors started complimenting each other more. Miso butter clams were very flavorful but the clams were slightly overcooked. Crème brûlée was undercooked and very watery, felt more like a pudding but flavor was good. Service was decent and there's a 20% service charge.

The food was delicious and the vibes were good too. The scallion pancake was interesting and the fried rice dish was particularly delicious.

Having a toddler the options for eating out aren't as expansive as they once were. Perry's has become my favorite for delivery from one of the big services. First time we ordered we got a sushi and sashimi for 2 and the quality and presentation were excellent. Our most recent order on a whim with company over was to order the Deluxe Platter for 4 which was again excellent. Added bonus of some melt in your mouth chu toro nigiri and sashimi. It's been a while since I sat there and paused while eating a piece of sashimi to slowly savor it, but the chu toro was on point! Rolls were also excellent. Well constructed and quality ingredients. The spicy tuna was thick with fish taking up 80 percent and then a thin layer of rice with nori. read more

Amazing from top to bottom. My partner and I love sushi, but I'm pescatarian and usually stay away from meat in my rolls. I got the shrimp tempura and it was phenomenal. My partner got the Omakase, and he loved it. Bonuz, our server, was amazing. Very attentive, knowledgeable, and had great energy throughout. We've never had Uni (sea urchin) but she encouraged us to try it and it was amazing! The creme brûlée was a wonderful dessert option. We ordered a bottle of sake called "Happy Bride", which Bonuz also recommended, as we asked for a more fruity suggestion. We also got two glasses of white sangria and it was probably the best we've ever had. This was also my second time trying seaweed salad, and I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too fishy. We will definitely be back. We live about an hour away, but this has been one of our favorite sushi experiences. As someone who is a little iffy about sushi/raw fish, there were plenty of options for those who are more picky eaters. read more

My friends and I came here for Perry's Sunday Drag Brunch on one of our last days in DC and it was SUCH A BLAST! This is a MUST when you're in the DC area and you'll want to make your reservations well in advance given how popular it is and just truly how worth it it is! It's such a loving, mesmerizing, and FUN time! Oh and...the food is actually SO GOOD?? You might think that one has to be better than the other or that especially in a "buffet style" type of brunch, the food won't be as good, but you'd be wrong! The food is such quality and they have elevated brunch foods and truly all of it was so good! So snaps all around for the Perry's kitchen staff and the truly wonderful drag queens that perform for us! I basically lost my mind and was shrieking constantly and having so so much fun, it's definitely a core memory now and I definitely want to go back the next time I'm in DC! And the best way to know that it was an absolute blast was that I have 0 photos to share. (I do have a ton of videos of the drag queens' performances, but I can't share videos on Yelp!) read more

Been dying to make it to Perry's ever since they hired Chef Masako Morishita. Meant to come for a full on dinner but ended up on the roof for an impromptu drink and snacks. We each got a cocktail, I got the Shinjuku Sour and my friend got the Sakura Maru. The Shinjuku sour was super herbal/floral and the sesame oil on the nose was super fun. The sakura maru was tasty too. Both were a little sweet for my taste. For food, there are so many delicious Chef Masako options to choose from which made the decision so hard! Since we were just there for snacks we prioritized the garlic edamame dumplings (WOW) and the mentaiko udon (ALSO WOW). The parmesan on the dumplings was a delicious surprise, the dumpling wrapper was delicate and the filling was garlic-y and lucious. I would eat 20 of them. The udon noodles were perfectly chewy and fresh. The egg yolk was a gorgeous orange you don't typically see in eggs in the states. I'm usually not a huge roe fan but the way the yolk and the roe mixed together made the most scrumptious sauce for the noodles. We also got a salmon avocado roll which was good, but nothing to write home about like the other two dishes. I cant wait to go back and try the agedashi mochi and the miso butter clams which I've heard great things about. So excited to try more of Chef Masako's dishes!! read more

This review is just for breakfast. I had high hopes for the traditional Japanese breakfast and while it was beautifully presented, the dishes were just OK. The salmon didn't taste very fresh and the pickled veggies were barely pickled. At $42 it is a pretty steep price for the quality. The restaurant is beautiful inside and still good if you're looking for a nice dining experience. I wouldn't mind coming back to try the dinner menu. read more

5/5 stars for Perry's Drag Brunch on Sundays! Highly recommend for anyone and everyone, especially if you're celebrating something. The queens are true performers and entertainers, giving you a phenomenal show, and go out of their way to make you feel special. Bring cash and tip generously! 2.5 or 3/5 The brunch is buffet style so with any kind of buffet, the food itself was just okay. Mostly American like eggs, sausage, bacon, chicken + waffles, salad, soup of the day, desserts, etc. I only wish they labeled some of their dishes (gf, df, veg, nuts, etc.). I hope to go back for their regular menu as I've been hearing great reviews since there's been a new chef! read more

A stunning meal. Prior to trying Perry's, I only liked veggie sushi. Now, I LOVE real sushi. I got the spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon, and the element roll. PHENOMENAL!! I was there for restaurant week and they had a special matcha tart for dessert. It was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Nate took great care of me and was kind & attentive. The only thing I didn't love was the capri mocktail- it was canned and I probably wouldn't have ordered it if I'd known that. Pretty basic and I didn't finish it. But the FOOD is AMAZING! Great date night atmosphere. read more

We had a great Valentine's Day dinner at Perry's- our table was ready when we got there and the service was pretty good. Although not every table was taken the restaurant was still busy. It was decorated beautifully with balloons and red colored lanterns. Food was delicious and the fish was very fresh. I asked for green tea and the waiter said ok- however he brought out matcha/green tea and I didn't like the taste of it because I'm not a matcha fan... he apologized and so I asked for hot water with lemon instead which he was very attentive on refilling throughout the meal. The menu has a lot of great options - we started out with pork dumplings- great to share. Then ordered a sushi regular (nigiri: tuna, salmon, white fish, shrimp, eel; maki: california roll) and 3 rolls. Fire cracker, crunchy tiger and a shrimp tempura roll. We finished everything- it was delicious and the perfect amount for 2 people. We skipped on dessert but I did love the photo booth on the way out! Such a fun idea! I'd recommend this restaurant for sure! read more

Loved my experience here. The sangria was amazing, and the sushi was great too.

DoorDashed from here AND ate in Dude. PERRYS is the BOMB. Yes they have drag queen events. Yes the vibe here is not your typical sushi bar, but the fish is SO fresh. The rolls are SO good. We get the chirashi (high quality and high value), several Choose-Two-Rolls, seaweed salad, katsu curry, ume shiso maki. THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. Highly recommended 5/5 read more

I came here to try the Omakase Nigiri experience (my first one) and was great. Could be biased but I think if you haven't done it before, this is a great place to try it for the first time! It was reasonably priced and the fish was so delicious and had the "melt in your mouth" + big sigh of joy effect. We also got the Mentaiko Udon Noodles and Cucumber Sesame Salad. The noodles were so rich and buttery with the egg yolk complimenting the dish well. As surprising as it might be, my favorite of the two was the cucumber salad. It was perfectly balanced and refreshing. Honestly, I could've just eaten that for dinner. For cocktails we ordered the Sweetheart, Sakura Maru, and the Dragonfly. 10/10 recommend. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with them. The Sakura Maru was recommend by our waitress and was my favorite of the 3. Super light and refreshing towards the end of the meal. My partner reserved this for my birthday and it was a fantastic experience. Already want to go back! read more

Perry's is more than just the best mid-level priced sushi in the area, it's also a fun ambience that makes it a great choice for going out or ordering in! I haven't been for brunch, but I've heard great things. At dinner, though, I'm a big fan of how broad the menu is with a mix of appetizers, cooked foods, sushi, and combo platters.

Unfortunately, my friends and I had the worst experience here. We waited at least an hour and an half to get our food, and understandably, they're unstaffed, but still, we had a reservation. The restaurant was busy, but they should've been prepared. They tried to appease us at first with edamame. We then got our drinks first, and they made one of our drinks incorrectly somehow. The green tea lemonade was purely lemon juice. We had it remade, but this was just the start. The appetizers were nothing special. Then came the entrees. Sushi was also alright. The noodles were very odd because it just tasted like plain pesto pasta, which was confusing. And then the beef donburi had rotten meat. We immediately called the waitress (who was super nice), who called the manager and sous chef. Fortunately, we got it compensated, but we kinda lost our appetite from there. We still got dessert, but they ran out of the matcha, so we settled for the other dessert, which was the chocolate mousse. It was most definitely not a mousse but a ganache. The blueberry dessert was overpowering with zest and too sweet. The cookie was kinda dry, and the ice cream immediately melted cuz it was so hot in the restaurant. Their AC must've broke cuz they only had fans going, and it was so humid this day. At the end, we got fully compensated, but it felt like we barely ate anything and left with empty stomachs. Overall, the most disappointing experience we've had at any restaurant. read more

Summer is the perfect time to have dinner on a rooftop and this place has one! We originally booked for indoor but asked to be seated on the rooftop and they were able to accommodate. Overall rooftop is quiet, yet vibrant. Cocktails at this place are okay, Tokyo chill isn't my favorite, it was a weird combo with matcha and didn't taste that good. read more

This was a pretty good meal I ended up getting a sushi shut shimmy platter and it was delicious. The real big issue is parking here is a complete nightmare and good luck finding it I ended up searching more than 40 minutes for a good parking spot and having to walk for another 30 minutes to end up getting back to the establishment. The service here is very nice and if I was in the area would definitely come and check it out again. read more

Came here for restaurant week for their $40 three course menu. I'd say for the value it was worth it but I'm not sure if I'd be back for sushi compared to other options with similar regular menu prices in DC. From the tasting menu I ordered the seared sake toro, sushi and sashimi platter, and the yuzu roll cake. Seared sake toro was DELICIOUS. Fatty + the salmon roe added a nice pop of salinity. Sushi and sashimi platter came with a good amount of food. The tuna and salmon were of good quality however I was a little disappointed that there wasn't as much diversity in the types of fish. That being said, it was good for the value. Lastly the yuzu roll cake, while very fluffy and light in texture, lacked flavor for me. It tasted faintly of lemon rather than yuzu. The service was good and I liked the ambiance - a little bit more casual than other sushi restaurants in the area. read more

Perry's is my go to place when I crave Japanese food! The garlic fried rice is a must try! We always order 2 because one is never enough! It's so delicious!

We took a friend here for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, every member of our party that ordered sushi got a rough bout of food poisoning. It is always a risk when consuming raw or under cooked fish, but that is something the restaurant should be aware of and take the utmost caution in preventing. Given the circumstance, I cannot recommend. There are many restaurants in the area with similar menus that take food preparation and safety more seriously. read more

Drag brunch! We were such a stereotype but went here with a huge group of bridesmaids to cap off a bachelorette weekend. The buffet was more savory than sweet and very meat heavy. Only wish was that the items had been labeled so I could have gotten a better idea of what I was eating for some of the dishes. Servers were a little slow and confused if you ordered anything other than coffee or alcohol to drink. That was frustrating but not a big deal. Of course, you don't really go to drag brunch for the food. The show was great. The queens were wonderful and interacted with the audience so much. We were seated in the middle which meant I was always twisting around or craning my neck to see the show. If I could have picked, I would have gone for a table more around the edge of the room for a better view with less twisting. Show started at about 11, with seating starting at 10, and the food was out for the duration of the show. Fun. Would do again. read more
