Perry’s

This Adams Morgan stalwart has long been a go-to for sushi in the neighborhood, but in recent years, the Japanese comfort-food menu from chef Masako Morishita has drawn national attention. Particularly buzzworthy: garlicky edamame dumplings showered in Parmesan, fried mochi with salmon roe in a dashi broth, and a shrimp-katsu burger with egg salad and lemon cabbage slaw. Morishita experiments further with rotating specials, which might include lobster rolls with yuzu kosho aïoli or miso-cream-corn toast on milk bread. Japanese prix fixe breakfasts, available on select Saturdays, are worth their own visit.
