Sushi Ogawa, Connecticut Ave Nw
21 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/washingtondc24 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Most people recommend Sushi Ogawa, and many call it the best sushi or omakase they have had. Several point to the sushi counter, some name the omakase as a favorite, and one calls the sushi assortment good value. Two diners raise price: one, who has not been in a while and says it used to be excellent, finds it priced for special occasions rather than everyday visits, and another, who still calls it excellent, finds it costly for delivery. One says it would not suit someone wanting sauce-heavy rolls, and one says simply that it is not good.
