Japanese-Peruvian dining with a bar/lounge for high-end conviviality


































"At the West End location, Japanese A5 wagyu arrives to the table for a brandy flambé, and the quick torching intensifies the already luxe flavors of the meat while adding a bit of dinner‑and‑a‑show." - Adele Chapin

"The West End spot will offer an expanded festive AYCE brunch on Christmas Day, featuring sushi, salads, pastries, desserts, and live chef stations, including a holiday carving station. The brunch is $90 per person and can be reserved on OpenTable." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"The West End sushi spot will offer a special omakase menu this New Year’s Eve, priced at $210 per person. The multi-course menu starts with seafood harumaki with caviar, and a selection of sashimi. Other snacks include scallop tamari truffle, king crab crispy rice, Japanese wagyu steak, and much more. Reservations can be made via OpenTable." - Vinciane Ngomsi


"Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s global namesake empire just turned 30 this fall. Its 7-year-old D.C. edition in the West End continues to be popular for Japanese-Peruvian dishes, glistening plates of yellowtail jalapeño, long list of nigiri, sashimi, and maki rolls, and creative tacos filled with lobster and wagyu. There’s also a $200-per-person omakase option." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff


"Nobu will be open for dine-in on Thanksgiving Day this year with reservations via OpenTable. They’ve also made available special takeout packages to preorder via Tock beginning Friday. Packages serve two and start at $220, with the premium offering retailing for $360 and includes edamame, shishito, albacore crispy onion, tiradito, spinach salad with shrimp, Chilean sea bassm mirai, beef truffle teriyaki, and assorted nigiri and maki. There are optional add-ons on hand as well. Pre-orders will be available for pick up from November 27-30." - Vinciane Ngomsi
