"James Beard Award-winning chef Masako Morishita offers a miso curry chicken pot pie at Perry’s all week. It’s made with seasonal root vegetables, Japanese curry spices, and organic chicken in a classic pot pie." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Perry’s has long been an under-the-radar reliable spot for sushi, and with Eater’s 2023 Chef of the Year (and 2024 James Beard Award winner for Rising Chef of the Year) Masako Morishita at the helm, the revitalized Adams Morgan restaurant is generating lots of attention for her flavorful Japanese creations. Standout starters included grilled broccoli rabe in a miso-garlic butter, a fiery Fuji apple salad with a kick from Korean gochujang, and garlic edamame dumplings hidden under a snowy blanket of parmesan. The deep-fried shrimp katsu burger with togarashi tartar is also not to miss. The sleek, wood-framed restaurant with a strong sake collection continues to host one of D.C.’s best drag brunches on weekends. Morishita recently introduced Japanese breakfast service on weekends and a newer unagi donabe rice special." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"A beloved Japanese spot celebrating its long history with special events like the longest running drag brunch in the city and a James Beard Award-winning chef." - Emily Venezky
