Sushi Nakazawa

I went to Sushi Nakazawa by myself tonight. Making a reservation online was quick and easy. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend giving it a try!

We came on a Sunday for lunch. Sushi was very fresh and high-quality. The service is great. This place does the traditional nigiri very well.

Absolutely life changing experience. Exceptional service and quality. If there is a grip it is that there are no more affordable drink opinions

This is the Omakase experience you're looking for. All of the fish was extremely tender and fresh, the environment was quiet, and it was a true chef's table experience. Highly recommended.

The sushi is so fresh. Their fish products are air shipped directly from Japan. It was the best sushi we had in the US. Every single piece was carefully crafted.

Went there to celebrate my birthday. Sushi was very fresh and perfectly prepared. The slices were excellent, which made the fish delicate, tender and without too much dark pieces which have more fishy taste, no tendons/skin/muscle to make it difficult to chew. It was a delightful experience! The amount of different fish/seafood species was surprising. A special place to go to celebrate, if you love sushi. We paired it with a nice bottle of Italian Sparkling, which was an excellent recommendation by our server.

WOW!!!!! This restaurant is the epidemy of fine dining in DC!

The service itself was phenomenal - all four servers manning the dining room very present, engaged and circulated each of the tables with great precision. Each table setting was reset prior to the upcoming setting - used dishes were removed, beverages were refilled and tables were wiped down. Never once did I feel I had to hunt someone down - there was always a server eager to answer a question or assist with a request.

The food was also TOP notch! I ordered the classic omakese w/ one added supplement. While there is an upgraded version of the omakase available I thought the classic was PERFECT! The flights were well planned, appropriately spaced out, and delicious. All in all, I fully intended to return to Sushi Nakazawa in the near future. The wine by the glass selection is also amazing - while expensive for the amount poured, the quality of the every wine served in unbeatable.

A few tips to share with future diners. Online reservations are not released at the same time for solo diners as are for tables with 2+ diners. Solo diners may make there reservations online about a week prior to their preferred date. Wine portions by the glass are VERY small - each pour may be at most 4 ounces - so if you intend to drink more than 8 ounces of wine/sake I would highly suggest ordering a full bottle instead - it will save you a tone of one at the end of the meal. Personally I would opt for the sushi table experience versus the dining room experience. While yes you do see the staff preparing each piece live, the entertainment value of the sushi table isn't that marginal compared to the regular dining experience.

Phenomenal dining experience. First time I've ever said I'd prefer pieces of fish over beef. Each bite is a wonderful journey. The service is wonderful and the sake is divine. Chris is a very knowledgeable sommelier who has a real passion for what he does.

Marvelous Omakase. Various and delicate selection of the best fish on the market. Every bite was outstanding. Service was friendly and attentive. Not an everyday experience as the price is $USD 190, but definitely worth it once in a while.
