Sushi Nakazawa occupies a counter inside the Trump Hotel in Penn Quarter, where Chef Daisuke Nakazawa leads an omakase menu that includes caviar and wagyu beef as add-ons alongside the standard courses. A sommelier works the room, guiding wine and sake pairings for guests at the counter.
Reviewers consistently point to the quality of the fish and the level of service, and the restaurant has built a reputation for exceptional omakase execution, even as some diners note the premium pricing that comes with it. The counter draws a crowd that treats it as special-occasion territory.
Michelin awarded Sushi Nakazawa one star in both its 2019 and 2025 Washington DC guides, and Washingtonian named it among the city's best restaurants in 2025.
