Sushi Ogawa 鮨小川

Writing this from my couch with a heating pad thanks to stomach cramps after eating here. The tuna was inedible and clearly cut from the bloodline with a strong metallic and bloody taste. That is a cheap move for a place positioning itself as high end sushi. The rice was dry and poorly seasoned, and the rolls were sloppily put together.

Very disappointing experience overall.

The food was great, the service wonderful, and the private room excellent for our celebration. We enjoyed the omakase very much!

The sushi bar is worth the experience. Master Keven is very experienced and the fishes are fresh from Japan

Google maps says this place is open on sundays but it’s not.

The most expensive and ripped off restaurant in the whole wide world. I can get better sushi with half of the price. Not happy 😡

Unfortunately not the best food or experience for what you pay. We paid for omakase 6 and 4 course but upon arrival we were asked if we wanted to upgrade to the experience at the bar with the chef for 40dlls more, we thought this was weird as all omakase places we have been to US and Japan it is always with the chefs. Then the servers kept referring to us as “who has the 200dlls menu and who has the 160dlls menu” to know where to place the plates, the food unfortunately was not what you expect for these type of experiences. The timing of the food was so un organized, they almost gave me double dessert (which I don’t mind haha but also had this alone as my husband’s took like 10min more). Lastly and hate to say this but one of the servers had about 1.5-2 inch nails which seems very unsanitary.

Great experience! My son took me here. The staff engaged in conversation and the dishes were superb! Will definitely visit again.

Great for carryout, some of the best deals with the platters and sushi sets. Be aware that the carryout online ordering always says 20 minutes though larger orders can and will take longer.

One of if not the best omakase I've ever had. For sure a must visit in DC. You won't be disappointed. The preparation, presentation, visual, flavor, atmosphere, hospitality are all top shelf. The freshness and quality of the ingredients is unmatched. The sushi rice you can tell takes special training and preparation. All the sushi pieces were delectable especially the fatty tuna, uni (sea urchin), wagyu, king salmon to name a few. Some of my favorites but everthing is amazing and tasty. Beyond that the other creative dishes were divine. The crab and egg soup was incredible. And the lobster dish was seriously the best lobster of my life. They prepared a cooked fish dish that was extraordinary, it was soft and flakey and melted in my mouth. One of the most perfect dining experiences I've ever had. I've been here a few times but they always outdo themselves time and time again.

I went here for a midweek date and it was very delicious but the atmosphere and service were lacking. Don’t get me wrong, this is some of the best sushi I’ve ever had, but it’s hard to justify the price when it doesn’t feel like an occasion

Food was great! Most of the fish were fresh and delicious. The uni was slightly too slimy and fishy for my liking, but the other fish were phenomenal. I would say, overall, the fish are slightly softer than other places.
