Omakase @ Barracks Row and Sushi Nakazawa top the list, both One Stars, both $$$$. Perry's Restaurant sits just behind with a James Beard Winner nod at $$. The rest is nine Damn Good spots deep, from a Bib Gourmand ramen shop on H Street to a run of Michelin Selected rooms across Northwest DC. This is a cuisine with real range in this city, not just a couple of headliners.
