Omakase options have boomed across DC over the last couple years, but this sushi counter in the back of the Waldorf Astoria continues to be a destination for those seeking a high-end, traditional experience. The 20 pieces of nigiri feature subtle yet thoughtful accents, whether salmon with Noto Island sea salt or Japanese sea scallops with yuzu kosho. A splurgy “super omakase” upgrade adds five extra courses, including some rare, super-seasonal specialties.
