My wife and I were in DC for the weekend and decided to stop by Shoto because it was close to our hotel, and I'm so glad we did. We chose the Omakase signature selection so we could get a sense of every course they had to offer, and everything was great. This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I plan to return the next time I'm in DC.
After our 1st visit we couldn't wait to come back, and it was just as incredible as we remembered. The sushi is outstanding, beautifully presented, and everything tastes so fresh. The service is truly exceptional, everyone is so friendly, attentive, and makes you feel so welcome. It’s definitely one of our favorite restaurants. Highly recommended!
Certainly a trendy place with good food, but very busy leading to some delayed services. Food isn’t out of this world amazing, but the atmosphere is beautiful.

Shōtō Washington DC offers an exceptional dining experience, with a vibrant, lively atmosphere reminiscent of Miami or Vegas, complete with a DJ playing house music. The staff is attentive and accommodating, even catering to guests with young children. The food is consistently fantastic, with hot and flavorful dishes. The premium tasting menu (omakase) is a highlight, and the service is prompt and efficient. Guests enjoyed the premium omakase, sake, and whiskey, with a Manager who was quite accommodating, providing an excellence recovery. The bass is very flavorful and literally melts in your mouth, and the lobster was nothing short of extraordinary, cooked to absolute perfection. While some found portions a little larger to be desired given the high price range, the restaurant is highly recommended for special occasions and romantic dinners, delivering an experience that exceeded every expectation with impeccable service and an atmosphere that struck the perfect balance between elegant and comfortable.
