Omakase @ Barracks Row

Omakase at Barracks Row was quite simply the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. Chef Ricky, Gabriel, and Chef Aaron elevate the entire experience to another level. The quality of every single bite is outstanding—each course somehow tastes better than the last. The care, precision, and intention behind every piece is immediately evident. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the splurge, it most certainly is. I truly cannot say enough good things. I’ve dined at other Michelin-star sushi restaurants, and none compare to the quality, attention to detail, and—most importantly—the flavor here. I enjoyed the experience so much that I went twice in one week, and even in that short span of time, the menu evolved substantially. That level of creativity and freshness is rare. This is a tru

I see why this spot has a Michelin Star! Truly a great and intimate experience. With an attentive staff of four-ish, they were able to cultivate an experience where we can not only eat, but learn about the fish and food that we are eating - why they are prepared the way that they are and why they taste a certain way. Shoutout to Gabriel, we were IMPRESSED by his knowledge about Japanese culture and any of the food that was being prepared today. AND to have one main sushi chef and sous chef serving a group of 11, and still maintain quality sushi is absolutely mindblowing. Overall, sushi was QUALITY and FRESH. You know it's good when it almost starts to feel like it melts in your mouth in that first bite.

From the moment we stepped into the intimate omakase at Barracks Row, we knew we were in for something extraordinary — but Chef Ricky, Aaron and Gabrielle delivered an experience far beyond expectations. Every course felt like a story — perfectly paced, beautifully presented, and bursting with creativity. Chef Ricky’s precision and artistry turned each bite into a masterpiece, while Gabrielle’s warm presence and impeccable sake pairings tied it all together like a symphony. The ingredients were pristine, the flavors balanced with genius delicate, bold, and surprising all at once. There were moments when the room went completely silent because everyone was just in awe of what was happening in front of them. From buttery otoro that melted like silk to a uni creation that tasted like the oc

We chose Omakase @Barracks Row for our wedding anniversary, and it 100% worths it to every penny. The experience was astounding and memorable: each bite was super fresh and flavorful, we learned a lot more about the Edomae sushi style thanks to Gabriel; huge shout out to chef Ricky for creating such a cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff. Some fusions from chef Ricky I believe, like his everything-pickled (wasabi, carrot, etc) or some plays with the appetizers, and boy oh boy it was amazing. For a 1-Michelin-star restaurant, it totally lives up to the hype. We would definitely recommend everyone to try out this spot!

Wonderful experience! Gabriel really took our experience to another level. Chef Ricky and Gabriel were super friendly, informative, and conversational. One of our favorites bites from our DC trip!
