Sushi Nakazawa Washington Reviews
I understand why they have a Michelin star!! Service and
I understand why they have a Michelin star!! Service and ambiance were amazing. Each course tastes so fresh and unique. My favorite was the white fish course and toro course. I'll want to come here again the next time I'm in DC.

Excited to finally try Sushi Nakazawa which is a high end Omakase direct from NYC. It's located on the back area of the Waldorf Astoria so don't go into the hotel. It's not a large restaurant so reservations are recommended although

Amazing food and service! Came here with my boyfriend for a date night and had a wonderful time. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly during our time here. The seafood was extremely fresh and rice was well seasoned. Our favorite piece was
This review is four years in the making after celebrating
This review is four years in the making after celebrating birthdays here in '22, '23, '24, and this summer too. I know there are a handful of well-rated omakase spots in DC nowadays and I haven't tried any others yet. Regardless,

In D.C. for another work trip and decided to blow several days' worth of per diem on omakase. I've eyed this place on previous trips, finally pulled the trigger. So glad I did. I arrived a little early for my seating and was greeted warmly
Sushi Nakazawa has been a longstanding goal of mine to go.
I had the opportunity to celebrate my wife's birthday so we booked a reservation 2 weeks in advance when the spots opened up. I ended up arriving a few minutes past the lunch open due to difficulty finding parking. It is quite hard to find parki
Sushi quality is great.
.but totally commercialized unfortunately. Lots of tables that are all packed in, like sardines. Not for coziness but really just to increase the seating #s. Not worth the price of fine dining, due to the ambiance.
I have been Sushi Nakazawa in New York multiple times
I have been Sushi Nakazawa in New York multiple times before Covid and so I was expecting high quality sushi, but Omakase ( July 2025) was very disappointing quality. I don't know who was the Cheff. It was total different menu from the one I h

We came here last night to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it was such a treat! It's very upscale and classy, but not stuffy. Small, and feels intentionally intimate, in a good way. We sat at the Sushi Counter and both chose the Classi

Sushi Nakazawa is still one of the greatest in DC for service and quality. From the text communication before arriving onsite to communicate expectations and ask if there was any special celebration to the actual meal itself, it really was top notch.

Best sushi I have ever had by far (the only Michelin-rated sushi restaurant I have been to so I can't compare it to others). Yes, you are paying for it so don't expect this to be cheap but it's worthy of its Michelin rating. A diverse
A taste of heaven in seafood form
Eat sushi I’ve ever had in my life! Walking in the atmosphere has been set with dimmed lighting and soft music playing. Staff are dressed in suits and very personable and accommodating. The drink menu has over 40 pages of drinks, and bottles which
Amazing and we will be back
One of the best Omakase we have ever had. Each bite was amazing and perfectly times. When there was rice the temperature was perfect. We made reservations at the bar as there is the only place you can order the chef’s menu with all the add ons i
Very expensive
Very expensive for what is this. Food is OK but it is very expensive and the decor and atmosphere is mediocre. We did not enjoy it and it was disappointing
A fool and his money are soon parted should be their motto
You choose between classic omekase or the chef’s omekase, with the possibility of adding 3 ala carte items if you only do the classic. These are included in the chef’s dinner, The classic omekase menu would be acceptable, but we opted for the mu
Incredible experience
We ordered the Classic Omakase. Very expensive, but all but one of the 20 or so individual items were among the very best I have ever had. Our chef, Korean, was extremely talented, and a joy to watch.
Lives up to the rep - but a bit much for us
First the good. Excellent sushi, elegant room, attentive service. My daughter was interested in a top tier omakase experience that is more authentic and marginally westernized. This place delivered. I’d have to say this is truly top tier. Why

I went to a couple more Omakase since my last review, made me realize I should have rated this place a bit lower. Wish the options of fish stood out more.

4/5 To start: Confirmation text reminders, even asking for the birthday person's name, was good. Welcome was wonderful. Throughout: Service was very good, highly efficient and what we'd expect from a Michelin starred spot. Every time we looked up
Tried to make reservation for my wife and I.
We have a three year old as well. Restaurant told our concierge that they could accommodate us but only if three year old orders a full omakase? Wow. Poor service.
My reservation, which we booked weeks ago, was cancelled on
My reservation, which we booked weeks ago, was cancelled on the day of, 3 hours ahead of dinner time. The receptionist was rude and refused to give a reason. Exceptionally unprofessional.
Delish!
I visited the restaurant with a friend and we went all out. Everything we had was amazing and delicious - worth every penny! The service was excellent, though could feel a bit rushed. Be sure to make a reservation well in advance to secure a spot.

Some of the best sushi I have ever had.
We ordered a suggested flight with recommended sake. A completely satisfying (and filling) meal with my son. Highly recommended.

Nakazawa remains one of my favorite restaurants in the DMV and my favorite sushi counter! Each meal and experience is always so special and unique!
Amazing food and chefs but questionable service.
Hubby and I celebrated this year's Valentine's Day at Nakazawa. We booked the chef's counter and got the super omakase and makgeolli. The super omakase was superb and it literally made me miss Japan so much! I can say the quality of the fish, meat,

I can't imagine sushi getting better than this, not even in Japan. I was too busy enjoying the food and experience to take pics. Very expensive but worth it to experience at least once. This place is so great that a couple of chefs that worked under

I went here last night with my Brother-in-Law and Father-in-Law and did the Omakase experience for $180. I didn't take any pictures out of respect for the experience so I hope this written review will suffice. Hands down best sushi I have ever had in

If you like sushi, definitely give it a try.
It might be a bit pricey, but if you enjoy izakaya, this place is great. Uni was SO delicious. This place is quiet--perfect for a peaceful meal with your partner. (We spent around $600 between the two of us. Just for your reference)
Yowza.
What an experience. This omakase will blow your mind. We splurged for the $300 a person course - probably the most I'll ever spend for dinner. But I get it: premium, fresh, succulent nigiri, generous caviar, melt-in-your-mouth uni - it adds up. Shout
I had a very enjoyable experience here.
I want to mention that my fiancée and I were supposed to dine here on NYE at a table, but I got sick and couldn't make it. I contacted the customer service team and they contacted me back right away. The lady let me know that I'd still be charged $3
Outstanding omakase, amazing flavors, perfect service.
Wonderful place to celebrate a birthday!
Great food but poor service
Food: Sushi was excellent. I would go again for sushi as there were many different exotic varieties of fish and was all made to perfection. It was explained very very well too. Service: was sub par for Michelin one. The waiter was good in describin
Best sushi restaurant in the DMV.
Sushi Nakazawa is the best Japanese Sushi restaurant in the DMV. The staff is attentive, especially with wine pairings and is descriptive about each of the nigiri pieces you have in a meal. Everyone in the DC area should try to be here at least once

Fantastic Omakase-- make sure to ask for the sushi counter!
Definitely ask for the counter! What is better than getting your food (and descriptions) straight from the chef after watching him prepare it? Such good fun and, of course, delicious food! Only negative: they need to give better directions to find
Impeccable food absolutely wrecked by sloppy service execution

Excellent Omakase
Best sushi/sashimi I've ever had. Small, very expensive. Omakase style, nice selection of sake. Our meal was a $1000 for two of us, BUT we had add-ons, Toro caviar, Uni flights, nice alcohol. I little tough to find, use your GPS. Make reservations. W
Amazing food but ok experience
Disappointed. The food was very good but for a birthday celebration it was rushed, business like and not special. Maybe the bar feels more special but the dining table experience is not worthwhile.
Eating at Sushi Nakazwa felt like working at an auto plant assembly line
Even though we appreciated each sashimi course with its corresponding wine pairing, eating at Sushi Nakazawa felt like working at an auto plant assembly line. Each course was immediately served after the next. Enjoying Michelin-starred restaurants in
A mystical experience
This is a bucket list sort of restaurant. The fish is of impeccable quality, it’s prepared perfectly, and it’s a chance to eat a quality of ingredient that just isn’t available elsewhere. I recommend the drink pairing. It is not cheap - for 2 o
Incredible Sushi Experience
Birthday gift from my son...the best meal of my life. Our sushi was prepared by the executive chef, quality of the fish was incredible, execution was outstanding. The flavor and quality is difficult to describe without going through each of the 20+
Food was amazing.
Service is as incredible. My friend is left handed and they adjusted the plat to accommodate her. My water glass was never empty. I will be back. This place deserves two Michelin stars.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sushi Nakazawa Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sushi Nakazawa Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Sushi Nakazawa Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sushi Nakazawa Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
