    Not so great initial service. I was running late because I got out of work late, so when I went upstairs and went past the hostess desk to see my friend (who already was sitting at the rooftop and already made reservations), I got stopped. I was 5min late at this point. I told the hostess my friend was up at the rooftop and she said sassily "there is a hostess to show you the way" (aka tell me to stay put). Then I waited 10min because there was a line. And then I got stopped AGAIN at the rooftop host desk. I just wanted to sit with my friend who I haven't seen in a couple months. They also told my friend we only had 1.5 hours at our table and I was already 20min late at this point thanks to all the waiting at the front desk. The sushi rolls were pretty good. The carbonara pasta was a bit dense and heavy so if you're craving for that, pair with something fresh first. AND THEN when we were paying, we could scan and pay for our food and we ended up paying for the WRONG TABLE and spent more than we needed to. Somehow the scan showed for the wrong table and we got stopped by the waitress because she said we didn't pay for our food. So we had to pay with card and told we were going to get our money back, so we'll see. Not a great ending either. I don't know if I'll come back here.

    I went to review and realized I never finished my last one. The dining area is upstairs so be prepared to walk up a flight. Service is outstanding. The happy hour is amazing! Great deals for sushi, appetizers, and drinks. I got 2 maki rolls - spicy tuna and salmon skin, the Element, the little gem salad, and the caipirinha. All 3 rolls were delicious, but the spicy tuna was my favorite. I come here for the Little Gem salad too because it's just perfect with the anchovies and shaved Parmesan. My drink was also well executed. They do add a 20% service fee, just as a heads up, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

    Uncontested one of my favorite restaurants in DC. I love the happy hour, I love the rooftop, I love that they have great sushi and even better non-sushi/fish dishes, I love their wine selection! Every night I dream about the Garlic Edamame Dumplings. Every morning I wake up and crave the udon carbonara. My favorite nights have been painting with the backdrop of the best view of the neighborhood. Is the brunch menu my favorite? hard no. But are the drag performances AMAZING - absolutely YES!! Do they have the perfect entry way mirror to take a selfie with all your besties? Absolutely. They have thought of it all. Support women head chefs and support the beacon of Adams Morgan dining!

    Okinawa Shiikuwasa Tart - amazing!!!

    What a gem! In town for a few days and got lucky finding this place. Amazing happy hour! Great wines and a sparkling on happy hour. No beers on draft sadly, but hey, you can't have it all. Had some nice sushi, GREAT garlic edamame dumplings (seriously best thing I had), and a nice shrimp burger. Don't skip dessert though! The Okinawa Shiikuwasa Tart was divine!

    Perry's is a nice Japanese-italian (and some american I'd say) fusion place in Adams Morgan. Easy to Uber to, but good luck parking. It' a .6 mile/13 minute walk from the Woodley Park Zoo metro. They need better signage. From what we could tell, there's nothing on the awning saying it's Perry's, and they're above another place (which does have a separate entrance) that at a glance looks like it shares the entrance. Perry's only has a small metal sign by the door. It gets loud in there, not overly loud, but it's something to keep in mind. Food is very good. You can tell that chef (for everything but the sushi) got a James Beard award. Everything was very flavorful. We really enjoyed our meal--the wagyu sandwich special was nice and the Karaage was nice too--and everyone else in our group was very happy with the Udon Carbonara, the mussels dish and their sushi. Service was nice too and our waitress was really insightful on everything on the menu. We're happy we came and will be back

    Pleasant dinner here! Had only heard good things about Perry's and it lived up to the hype. For apps we got karaage, Caesar salad, and mochi agedashi. My favorites were the karaage and agedashi. I had ordered the walnut miso tsukemen udon, it was good but I prob wouldn't order again. My friend ordered the pork belly hot pot though and that was excellent. I also highly rec the tiramisu. Our server was so friendly and attentive, very sweet! I would come back here to try other items for sure

    I came for happy hour (every day, but only offered at the bar), and it has great deals. The bar seats do fill up quickly so I suggest getting there within the first hour if you can. The shrimp katsu burger was delicious, and the sushi was great too. I would definitely come back to try other items. The bartender was also sweet and checked in often.

    What an amazing experience at Perry's! When making a reservation on Resy, you do have to put a card down and I believe you are charged something like $15 per person for a no show or cancellation within 24 hours- so be sure you plan to be there before making a reservation! I had my eye on the carbonara udon when choosing to come to Perry's. We ordered the udon, shrimp katsu burger, some assorted nigiri, and mochi agedashi. All the dishes were really creative, unique, and delicious! The sushi was also really fresh. Staff was nice and attentive- overall, no complaints about this visit and can't wait to come back!

    Lauren B.

    yes. yes. yes. yes. Go and get the udon carbonara everytime. Strong cocktails, fresh sushi, and a mix of entrees you can't get anywhere else. Go for a girls night, date night, take your parents - take everyone! Fun atmosphere with good food. Looking forward to trying their brunch sometime soon!

    Wagyu roast beef sandwich
    Sky W.

    I was visiting DC and one of my friends in the area suggested going to Perry's for dinner. I didn't really know what to expect going in but ended up having a good time anyways. For food, my friend and I split a wagyu roast beef sandwich, I got the chirashi donburi, and my friend got the udon carbonara. The wagyu roast beef sandwich didn't have a ton of beef on it and I thought there was way too much sauce. The flavor was a bit overwhelming for me. The chirashi actually surprised me with how much sashimi was provided. Compared to the nigiri prices, I thought it was very fair. The sashimi was fresh, but not of an impressive quality. Lastly, I tried my friend's udon carbonara and thought it was okay. The udon is a bit too soft for my taste and the carbonara sauce was too thick. I can see why people love that dish though, it's so rich! Throughout the night, service was fine. I thought one issue with the dinner was that the restaurant was wayyy too loud. I was basically screaming at my friend across the table the whole dinner! When we left the restaurant, it was honestly relief for our ears. Prices seem pretty standard for DC, though I did think the chirashi donburi was an exceptionally good value. Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 2.75/5 Overall: 3.25/5

    Carbonara Udon
    Chelsea D.

    So thoroughly impressed with everything at this restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious especially the famous Carbonara Udon. It's a shame because I'm from New York, and I'm upset that I can't have it again. I dream of it from time to time. Definitely worth the trip, and I hope to come back and have wonderful food again.

    tuna lover
    Sharmane G.

    A beautiful romantic restaurant, perfect for date night. The main floor is upstairs, which is dimly lit for the perfect intimate setting. Came here with friends and enjoyed some delicious food also! We ordered the following: Karaage Fried Chicken: crispy and tasty (7/10) Udon Carbonara: very good flavor, love the udon(8/10) Garlic Fried Rice+Shrimp: just okay as this was strangely served in a ramen bowl and wasn't hot enough once it reached the table (6/10) Pink Panther sushi roll: very good and fresh. Wished there was more dimension in flavor (8/10) Tuna Lover: comes with 3 sashimi tuna, 3 nigiri tuna, and spicy tuna roll (loved this set, no complaints 8/10) Overall I'd love to come back to try the food, but for some reason my stomach did not feel well that night (maybe the alcohol?). Also the service was only okay (not as attentive as I would have expected for a restaurant like Perry's). It was cool I finally checked out this popular DC spot.

I was impressed and by the experience and would definitely come back for a Japanese meal that did not focus solely on ramen or sushi. The ambiance is well done, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and able to answer any of our questions. To share, we got the spicy salmon roll, Karaage appetizer, and eggplant cheese appetizer. The spicy tuna roll was the most lackluster of the dishes, but the fish was fresh and the portion was decent for $12. The karaage appetizer was excellent. The chicken was moist and the coating was crunchy and super hot. The eggplant cheese was a surprise highlight of the meal. Pieces of eggplant in a melted cheese bowl made of eggplant was a simple combination. That was a very pleasant mix of textures. The pork Katsu was a highlight of the meal. Unfortunately forgot to take a picture, but the coding was super crispy and the portion size was pretty solid. The Unagidon or grilled eel bowl was also very well made and tasted great with the pickled ginger and seasoning on the side. The set came with miso soup which was very nice as well. My companions also got drinks which they said were well priced and good quality.

The layout is interesting -- there's an upstairs when you walk in, but the sushi bar and a good bit of seating are downstairs. The menu is pretty straightforward with a mix of hand rolls, appetizers, specialty rolls, nigiri/sashimi, and traditional rolls. They also have a few solid combo deals, though I usually prefer trying a variety of items instead. Service was quick, which is always appreciated at a sushi spot. We ordered a few specialty rolls, two traditional rolls, and a couple orders of sashimi, all served together on one platter. The rolls were a great size -- filling without being overly large. The sashimi was fresh, and the traditional rolls really balanced out the meal nicely. The flounder and tuna sashimi were both excellent, and the California roll made with real crab was simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The total came out somewhere in the $70 range, so after tip and splitting it between two people, it was about $40 each to try multiple rolls and sashimi. Definitely fair pricing for the quality and amount of food. This spot had been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally made it over. I'd recommend checking out the menu beforehand so you can go in with a game plan and try the items that stand out most to you.
