From an email:
“Omakase @ barracks row, a multi course Sushi omakase experience, will open Thursday, November 9th on Barracks Row in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. After a series of pop up dinners, the restaurant will debut in their official location at 522 8th Street SE on the second and third floor, above Han Palace. The 21-course Omakase tasting menu is
the brain child of Chef Ricky Wang, who co owns the restaurant with Chris Zhu (Han Palace, China Garden, Ginza and Live K) and includes an array of sushi, handrolls and other specialties. A seasoned Sushi Chef, Wang has worked with some of the top chefs in DC, including alongside Jose Andres at Barmini and Mini Bar. Wang was also the opening chef at Sushi Nakazawa. Each level will feature 14 seats at a Chef’s Counter and the experience is priced at $180 per person.
The menu will change frequently, based on the seasonality and availability. Recent menu items include dishes like Smoked Corn & Amaebi Chawanmushi, Toro & Taken Temaki (Fatty Tuna Hand Roll), and desserts like Sake Katsu Ice Cream and Parmesan Sando. According to Chef Ricky, “at Omakase @ barracks row, we are looking to bridge the classic and the contemporary in sushi preparation; always highlighting and bringing to guests the the best flavors from the Ocean.”
