"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

"Celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s West End locale unleashed to-go sushi cups just for the month of July. The picnic-friendly spread fit for two diners ($160) includes 20 mini servings of famed orders like albacore ponzu and yellowtail jalapeño. Add on $50 batched cocktails a lychee martini built with Spring 44 vodka and St.-Germain elderflower liqueur. Preorder on Tock." - Tierney Plumb
"While you might not find A-list celebrities at this Nobu as you would in New York or LA, you’re definitely going to stumble on congressional nepo-babies and D-league basketball players looking to burn the last hundred dollars of their game checks. And that’s because the trendy downtown restaurant delivers an exceptionally good meal. As expected, the prices are on the steep side ($100 per person at minimum) but it’s hard not to love the diverse array of dishes on the menu. The yellowtail and scallion rolls, cold cuts of sashimi, and the buttery rockfish tempura are all very very good. " - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
