44 Best Japanese Restaurants near Forestville

“I watched a co-worker having what I referred to as "a food fantasy". They recommended this particular location for its service and food. My waze directed me to the location which is adjacent to the JCPENNEY parking lot in a strip with 2 other businesses.I arrived midday and was welcomed by a pleasant woman near the door. Within 5-10 minutes my meal was prepared which was a combo of teriyaki chicken and shrimp with veggies, noodles, green onions, sesame seeds and extra sauce.The staff was very pleasant and appeared to work well together as a team. The portions were generous and I would definitely eat there again. After I got home I too had "a food fantasy". My vegetables were perfectly cooked, not hard or overcooked. The meats were tender, fresh and flavorable.I have since eaten at two other locations and have come back to this one for a new combo. This time I added steak and the next time I will add salmon which came highly recommended by many people.I would definitely recommend this location, the service and the food options.

Parking: In front of the business are several parking spaces. The overflow lot of JCPENNEY is available as well.“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

“❤️ Oku. hits everytime. every 🍾 celebration we (my fam) head straightforward there.“

“The place was small, cute, and charming. True mom and pop shop, the owners were so kind and doting. Tried the Bibimbap bowl and the mint lemonade and it did NOT disappoint. The owner and the cook herself, even mixed the Bibimbap for us. It felt like eating dinner at Grandma's house, and I can't wait to go back!“

“I chose Akeno Sushi to celebrate my bachelorette weekend, and I couldn’t have made a better choice! It’s my absolute favorite restaurant in DC, and this experience just confirmed why it’s one of my top spots. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly warm, accommodating, and genuinely thrilled to help us celebrate. Nadia, in particular, was a joy to work with and supported me every step of the way in planning. The food was phenomenal, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, featuring thoughtful details like fresh flowers that added a special touch to the celebration. The ambiance was perfect, with lovely decorations that made the night feel even more festive. Whether you’re planning a special event, a casual dinner, or a date night, Akeno Sushi is versatile, delicious, and always delivers a memorable experience. I highly recommend it!“

“Rooftop on the Marriott great atmosphere. The service was good with the chef coming out to greet everyone at their table. They have multiple heaters which was perfect after the sun went down. I had the portobello app, very tasty. Also had the Baked fish dish, good seafood variety and flavor. I wish they served bread though.“

“Hands-down best ramen I have ever had.“

“Nothing less than phenomenal. Everything was hot, everything was fresh, and everything tasted amazing. Will definitely be coming back whenever in the area. Fairly priced as well...can't beat that.“

“I am ALWAYS pleased with my meal every time I patronize this business. I need a Quickway Japanese Hibachi in my area since I've relocated out of the DMV. ?

Parking: The store is located in the Bowie Town Center so there is plenty of parking in the rear (parking lot) with limited spaces in the front of the stores.“

“Really cool experience! All the food is fresh and delicious! They have a wonderful array of options to make your Hibachi Bowl. I personally got a Pick 2 Combo with steak and shrimp and I loaded the bowl full of almost all their options. I brought the whole family and everybody was very happy! I would certainly recommend Sakura Go!“

“I got the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was rich. The slices of pork were fresh, juicy, tender, slightly sweet, and abundant. There were at least 6 slices in that bowl. The assortment of vegetables and narutomaki added unique, delicious tastes and textures to the dish. Their food presentation is perfect. You'd have to see it to believe it. The ramen actually looks like it's straight out of those food commercials and restaurant food posters. All in all, it's a great place to eat.“

“Small, with limited menu, but terrific service and consistently fresh and good food.“

“After a nature walk at Watkins Park, decided to stop here for a quick dinner pick up. The prices and quantity were fabulous. Welcoming and quick service. Generous amounts of salmon and shrimp in/on my sushi so it was a great value. Unfortunately, the rice was pretty bland. As a sushi connoisseur, I keep furikake and rice vinegar on hand. The Cherry Blossom was decent.

Recommend they pitch the soy sauce because it was tasteless. ?
But once again, my cubbard came to the rescue with some kikkoman. I will try the hibachi next time.“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“GREAT value— 50% off sushi after 7pm (from $10.5 to $5.25)!!! The tuna and salmon avocado rolls are delish and $10.5 or 50% off before closing (if there are any left).
The stickers are SUPER CUTE and $1 each!

They also offer great drinks (craft yuzu soda, topo chico, boba tea etc.)

♿️ Union Market’s entrance is accessible, but tables are mostly high top (low tables by the window and outside) and the aisles are crowded most of the day. Also good lighting. Very loud.

On the simple side, but sushi was delicious and my friends enjoyed their food as well (one got chicken soup, and one got chicken teriyaki noodles).

“Horu Sushi is the best sushi in a large radius, highly recommend to anyone who loves sushi. The eel roll is my current favorite. It’s the best vendor in Le Fantome Food Hall and we are so spoiled to have this level of taste in our neighborhood.

We also love their ramen which is legit

You can even go for happy hour at the bar and eat the sushi there with your drink!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves the dumplings and ramen“

“I have had gastro issues for about a week, and I have had a hard time eating without feeling sick or running to the bathroom, however since I started feeling better today I have been craving Pho. My boyfriend was in the area and decided to stop for a Poke bowl and noticed that there was Pho on the menu so he got me the combination and it was delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, the meat cuts were tender, and the veggies were crisp and fresh. I’m looking forward to trying more entrees, but if nothing else I know the Pho is good.“

“Their Tiger Roll is by far the best shrimp tempura roll I’ve ever had. So good I ate it twice in one day and I don’t live right around the corner either. Plus their prices are awesome, especially when calling in to pickup rather than using a delivery service. I’m kicking myself for just now knowing how great this place is for as long as I’ve been in the area.“

“Quick service. Good was good. Portion size was nice. Atmosphere was as expected for this type of quick service restaurant.

Parking: Plenty of parking for this little strip mall. Few spots up front but definitely plenty just beyond. Even the furthest spot is not a long walk

“Absolutely the BEST!!! Higly recommendable“

“The food is excellent and fast. Appreciate the hospitality a lot we’re good food.“

“My family loves Sushi Hachi. Most of our celebrations are here.“

“Finally!! I have been waiting patiently..ish 😁 for this place to open and so far so GREAT! Food is delivered hot, fresh, and yummyyyy...only thing I would say is to make descriptions on DoorDash with the difference between Hibachi and Bento, etc so it is easier to tell what comes with what item. I recommend!“

“The world famous chicken teriyaki from Sarku Japan. Often imitated but this is the one. The chicken is tender and juicy, I get the double meat because I enjoy it so much. The sauce is just sweet enough the rice is fresh and so are the vegetables.“

“We are from NYC. Had lunch with my family here and left my backpack in the restaurant. The guy in the front found my bag and hold my bag till I contacted him 2 hours later. People make good food and look out for community really touched my heart. Good people are always blessed?? thank you Sakura Express!“

“It is a place that I have visited since its inauguration, which has been several years now, the service is very good, the food is healthy, what I miss are the soups that they sold when the place opened, they were very delicious and healthy chicken and beef soups.“

“Amazing place food really good“

“When I Tell You That This Is Life I'm So Glad They Open And It Was Jumping Nice Fresh And Hot Food Yesssssss Keep Up The Great Work Yalll“

“I was a regular here. I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves hibachi! They're always kind and always get my order just right! Try the yum yum sauce with your hibachi meal. It's so good. Remember to tip! They deserve it!“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“I'm from the forestville area, and I will travel all the way to the Quickway Largo location than the one near my home. In my opinion the food is better, the customer service is great. I don't have to worry about people panhandling in front of the store. The overall atmosphere is perfect. The yum-yum sauce is to die for “

“Hands down best sushi I’ve ever had! Great service, fresh fish and ingredients as well as a TON of flavor.“

“I went at noon and it was not crowded at all, and it was quiet, a big bonus for me these days. No loud music and people shouting in order to converse over it. The food was very good, very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for Asian fusion cuisine and sushi.“

“Good food, good prices, had a bit of a wait when we arrived and it wasn’t crowded“

“I placed a Door dash order so I can't speak to the atmosphere. However the food was amazing. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Combo, the Shrimp Bento Box, Spring Rolls, and the Dancing Shrimp Roll. The bento box was my favorite but everything was mouthwatering. I'll definitely order again from here.“

“The dish that I ordered was great!!!“

“Good food and it wasn't a long wait.“
