Raw Omakase DC sits on the third floor of 1326 14th St NW in Northwest Washington. Chef Johnny, who trained under Daisuke Nakazawa in DC and Masa Takayama in New York, leads an 18-course Edomae sushi omakase built around fish sourced from Tokyo's Toyosu Market.
Dinner runs $180 per person before tax, with no added service charge. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and closed Sunday and Monday. Seating is counter-only, which keeps the room intimate and keeps the focus on the chef's pacing through the courses.
Reservations are taken by phone at (202) 621-8299. The restaurant asks for at least 48 hours' notice to cancel for a full refund, and requests that guests avoid wearing strong perfume or fragrances at the counter, since it can interfere with the food. Gluten sensitivity can be accommodated, though the kitchen cannot guarantee a fully celiac-safe meal.
The menu format and chef's background, split between a Pacific Northwest sushi apprenticeship and a New York fine-dining pedigree, point to a traditional Edomae structure delivered in an English-friendly setting, which the restaurant positions as accessible for first-time omakase diners as well as regulars.
