Perry's Restaurant

Went here for my first Drag brunch and 10/10 would recommend. First off, staff were all super polite and wore cutesy things like unique glasses, "I breaking boys' hearts" t-shirts, etc... My group went for the 10AM brunch and the buffet was hot and ready as soon as we checked in. Definitely show up early because the line gets so long. The staff and Drag Queens make you feel so welcomed. Now onto the food. Was I hungry coming in? Yes. But that didn't sway my opinion on all the foods. I don't even like tomato soup but my friends were RAVING about it so naturally I get some. TELL ME WHY I AM CRAVING THAT RIGHT NOW. Mac n cheese was so warm and delicious. Basically, I was dipping all of my food (tater tots, grilled cheese, etc) into that soup because it was THAT GOOD. The pistachio chocolate was so rich. Perfect with coffee. The Oreo flavored dessert was like eating the crunchy bottom of a cake (the best part). Lastly, the Drag Queens! They all came out an hour after the time we all arrived. We were all full. Buffet was still open and staff still made sure all the food was ready and up for grabs! The mic the Drag Queens used was clear and loud so, yes I could understand what they were saying. The performance was phenomenal!!! Each Drag Queen had their unique characteristics. The music was ON POINT. The outfit changes were on point. Performances seemed to fly by because they were all so entertaining. At the very end, they even do something special if you're celebrating a birthday, bachelorette, etc..My final notes: All the food were incredible. Bring your friends here to celebrate or even just for a good time. Don't forget your $1, $5, $10 bills to show your appreciation to these Queens !!

sat at the bar. quick service for the cold dishes like sushi rolls. great happy hour dealsmy tummy hurts from udon carbonara but it was so good

Food: Sushi was tasty and fresh, the crudo we shared as an app was just okay, garlic fried rice with tenderloin tips was tasty but super garlicky. Had the Kobe passionfire cocktail, which was delicious. Ambiance: arrived early when the restaurant was relatively empty, it filled up quickly. If you're sensitive to noise, it got quite loud.Service: our server was friendly but disappeared for long periods of time when we wanted to ask for dessert, another drink, and the check.

Came here for the Valentine's Day set menu and couldn't have been more pleased! Hugh killed the game as our server! He was so informative friendly and attentive he really made the entire experience amazing. That being said, the vibe in here was IMMACULATE! Every single part of this experience was top tier and I would come back here 700 times to do this very exact thing again. 15/10. Do it.

Food: Everything we tried was absolutely amazing! Udon carbonara has a great texture and flavor, Sashimi was fresh and tasty, Wagyu Roast Beef Salad was divine - especially the dressing! Yum! Service: Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive staff through the entire time! :)The restaurant is on the second floor of the building - steps to get to your host. ;) Parking might be a challenge around this area; however, I'd definitely go back to try other items on the menu!

Just two large wooden doors mark the entrance with teeny tiny writing on the bottom of one - we seriously walked past it several times! Maybe the "P" shaped door handles should have tipped me off? The dining room is small - it is a tight space that they cram a good number of tables into, which means it is on the louder side, but we didn't need to shout to be heard across the table so all's good If I would have had the wagyu burger, I would have given 4 stars - my fellow diners said it was good but average. But... I say, this is a Japanese Sushi place, you picked wrong! lol - for $100 buckaroos - 20 pieces of high quality, expertly prepared sashimi is a steal and it was quite good! I will call out the fresh, creamy, delicate uni which was superb -- I have had stinky, fishy uni at a few other high end restaurants in DC that was simply not good (not going to name names here, but message me and I will ) -- so this tells me the chef know what they are doing!Also - I have to call out my ice cream sandwich dessert, which was a little kiss from heaven! Lately I have had too rich, too large or just too complicated desserts at places and this was none of those (definitely not too large - I ate 3). The creamy ice cream paired well with the sweetened, airy whipped cream and with the crunch of the shell, the tiny hint of mint and the acid from the slice of strawberry - it was perfection in 2-3 bites, which is really all you need after appetizers and a dinner ... well maybe you need triple that when it's this good!!!

I probably wouldn't revisit. I think there are restaurants that serve better sushi and entrees. The place is nicely decorated, cute for a date night spot. I was seated at the bar and we waited so long we had to flag someone down to help us put in an order. The fatty salmon nigiri wasn't great - the rice overwhelmed the fish (too much rice) and the fish tasted a bit dry? While the scallop nigiri tasted better, there was still too much rice. Tbh the sushi didn't look very professional... some parts of the rice looked matted and not uniform. The price point wasn't bad so lack of finesse can be attributed to that. The mushroom and mashed potato had good flavor but mushroom tasted a bit dry. Eel Donburi was great, would recommend.

I was delightfully surprised by the quality of the sushi and sashimi here! I'm always suspicious of non-sushi restaurants that serve sushi, but Perry's did not disappoint!The standout dish of the evening was the udon carbonara, a must-try! This dish went really well with the mushrooms.Wine list wasn't amazing, so points off there. However, I was very impressed with the culinary aspect of the experience.

If you're searching for a dining experience that blends innovation with authenticity, Perry's is an absolute gem. My favorite is their Udon Carbonara and Chirashi Donburi, both dishes always hits the spot!The Udon Carbonara is a game-changer. The thick, chewy udon noodles--perfectly cooked--were tossed in a creamy, rich sauce that expertly balances the indulgence of classic carbonara with a fresh, subtle Japanese twist. This dish features a beautifully seasoned broth that mingles with smoky pancetta, adding a savory depth that takes the comfort food to the next level. The egg yolk on top, gently breaking into the noodles, creates a luscious, silky texture that coats each bite. It's a fusion dish that feels both familiar and wonderfully new, a must-try for any foodie-- it's so good, we keep coming back just for this dish!The Chirashi Donburi is also an absolute must. Served with an assortment of the freshest, highest-quality sashimi, this bowl is a masterpiece. Each bite was a harmonious balance of delicate, melt-in-your-mouth fish and subtly seasoned rice. What really sets this dish apart, though, is the careful attention to detail--every element on the bowl, from the pickled cucumber to the pickled ginger, felt thoughtfully placed to create a symphony of flavors and textures.

We slept on Perry's for the last decade until Tom Sietsema and Washingtonian's top 100 list brought this restaurant to our attention. Husband picked Perry's for his birthday dinner, since he loves sushi, but fortunately for me (no, I do not like sushi), there were plenty of dishes other than sushi, and they were delicious. We came here for dinner on a Monday, and had no problem scoring a reservation a couple days before. The restaurant was not full through the night, but it had a good number of patrons. Of course, street parking was abysmal, this being the city. There were many sushi and non-sushi dishes on the menu, which made it hard to decide what to order. By the way, they do have a specials menu, giving us more options!I decided to go for several dishes (thinking that leftovers were possible)- edamame dumplings, chicken kaarage, udon carbonara, and the chicken nanban. My husband had the Sushi&Sashimi for one. My husband helped me with the dishes I ordered, and the dishes were not too small, but well-sized for sharing, and we finished all of the non-sushi dishes with no leftovers. I would say that the Chicken Nanban was similar to the chicken kaarage, so I wouldn't recommend getting both on the same night. Every dish was great. My husband enjoyed his sushi (but wasn't a big fan of the sashimi), and did save his roll for the next day. We also ordered dessert- bread pudding and lemon tart, both delicious. Our server was attentive and checked on us often, which was appreciated. We learned a cool fact that this place used to be a nightclub-Biltmore Ballroom, hence the B B on the windows.
