Where to Find the Best Sushi Around D.C.
"Sushi chef Ricky Wang puts his knife skills to work at his sleek tasting room that just earned a Michelin star during its first year of service. The Minibar and Sushi Nakazawa alum co-owns the two-level venture with Chris Zhu (Han Palace, China Garden, Ginza, and Live K). The 21-course menu, which features sushi, hand rolls, and specialties, runs $180 per person. Omakase@Barracks Row sits on the second and third floors above Han Palace, with 14 seats across each. Small bites are followed by a nigiri tasting of 15-plus pieces of sushi; think otoro, hay-smoked Spanish mackerel, and other rare delicacies like Japanese barracuda and uni from Rishiri Island in Northern Japan. Wang pays special attention to the rice, blending multiple kinds of koshihikari rice from Japan. Reservations required via Resy." - Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb
