Omakase @ Barracks Row sits on 8th Street SE in Capitol Hill, offering a single format: a seated counter tasting of roughly twenty courses, mostly sushi. The restaurant runs two seatings each night it is open, at 5:30pm and 8:15pm, Tuesday through Saturday. There is no walk-in service and no à la carte menu; every seat is tied to a pre-purchased ticket for a specific seating time.
The counter experience is communal, meaning diners share the space with other parties rather than booking a private room. Doors open ten minutes before the scheduled seating, and guests should plan to arrive within that window to avoid missing part of the service. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday.
Reservations are handled exclusively through Resy, where tickets are sold in advance rather than held by phone or walk-in request. Given the counter-only format and fixed course count, seating is limited and tickets for popular nights can move quickly, so checking Resy regularly is the most reliable way to secure a spot. The restaurant's own FAQ page has additional details on policies not covered here.
At a luxury price tier, this is a destination tasting menu rather than a casual sushi dinner, with the modern sushi style reflected in the twenty-course structure. For specifics on pricing, dietary accommodations, or cancellation policy, Resy's listing or a direct call to the restaurant at (202) 481-1640 is the best source, since those details are not published on the main site excerpt.
