Dear Sushi is the rare place in DC where you can get an omakase for under $50. Sure, the $42 special is only available from 11am - 2pm, but it's worth seeking out for a leisurely lunch or when you're looking to impress someone in the middle of the day without breaking the bank. Located inside the Love, Makoto food hall (also home to Beloved BBQ, Hiya Izakaya, and Love On The Run), Dear Sushi also serves hot dishes like chicken katsu, Wagyu short rib, and rock shrimp tempura. But you're really here for the sushi. Even in the evening, the omakase deal is one of the best in town, at $85 for a procession of hand rolls, sashimi, and small bites like monaka made with sweet potato and lotus root. Add a sake pairing for $45, or a cocktail like the Hidden Jaguar, made with blanco tequila, cinnamon, and sesame chili.
