Omakase Room by Tadayoshi sits on 14th Street NW in Washington, D.C., where Chef Tadayoshi Motoa presents a course-by-course sushi omakase. The restaurant is Michelin listed and falls in the luxury price tier, reflecting the format: a single seasonal tasting sequence rather than an à la carte menu.
Chef Motoa's approach draws on traditional Japanese technique, built around precise timing and ingredient selection that shifts with the seasons. According to the restaurant, sourcing spans both local and international suppliers, and the progression of courses is designed to build gradually over the course of the meal.
Service runs Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Reservations are handled by phone rather than through an online booking system, so calling ahead remains the primary way to secure a seat, particularly given the format's dependence on advance planning for seasonal ingredients.
The address is 699 14th St NW, Washington, placing it within the Northwest Washington dining corridor. Guests planning a visit should confirm current pricing and any dietary accommodation policies directly with the restaurant when booking, as these specifics are not listed publicly.
