Best Japanese Restaurants in Adams Morgan

This was the best possibly experience for a large group dinner (17 people). Phenomenal service and great food as usual!

I was dining with friends and our kids. The staff was amazing, especially given they had to contend with our energetic kids running around. The food was excellent and the ambiance just what we were looking for.

When I booked my reservation at Nobu, I was hesitant after reading some mixed reviews. However, from the moment I arrived, the experience exceeded all my expectations. As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly hellos from the staff, which immediately made me feel welcome. Although I was initially seated at one spot at the counter, I asked to be moved to a different seat, and the staff graciously accommodated my request without hesitation. I started with the oysters, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful, and then moved on to a sushi platter and a few pieces of nigiri for my entrée. Each dish arrived promptly, and the sushi chef took the time to explain every piece while presenting them beautifully. Everything tasted exquisite, and the attention to detail in both the presentation and flavor was truly impressive. To top off the experience, it began to downpour while I was dining. Without an umbrella, I was prepared to brave the rain, but the concierge kindly offered me hers to ensure I stayed dry on my way back to my hotel. This thoughtful gesture was the perfect end to an already outstanding evening. If I could give Nobu six stars, I would. I will absolutely return the next time I am in town. This place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and outstanding service.

Our meals and experience were EXCELLENT. My wife's meal of scallops, our guest's salmon and my shrimp/pasta (Diavalo) were WONDERFUL, as were the calamari and drinks we had before they arrived. While the entrance was a crush of people trying to check in and get seated, the atmosphere was lively and comfortable. The Hamilton is always a great experience but this was a first time for my wife and our guest to have dinner there and they loved it! Our server was good and attentive and wasn't a constant shadow to us either. A good time was had by all!

Tater tots appitizer was a big hit. Our group had the Ahi Tuna, Sea Bass, two steaks, and a seafood salad with jumbo shrimp. All were top shelf. Topped it off with the pumpkin cheesecake which was to die for. Great place to have a meal in DC.
