46 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lanham

“Nothing but love to all the people at Quickway. This place has had my back when times were tough. Good, filling food for a damn good price. The inside of the store is plain but that doesn't really matter anyways since it's takeout.“

“Affordable and fairly good bento style chicken teriyaki. They give so much food that my daughter and I shared a combo chicken & tofu with some leftovers. It’s more of a fast food Asian type of restaurant, that has an American influence. We wouldn’t come here for a nice meal, but for a quick bite.“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

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

“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!“

“Stopped in for some delicious sushi and chicken katsu, we also ordered the calamari which was fried perfectly and had a nice crispy outside.

The chicken katsu is cooked perfectly, crunchy outside and tasty inside but not dry. The sushi is amazing, I had the spicy tuna which had a good kick to it and the daily special which was the Goldfish Roll today. GOLDFISH ROLL WAS AMAZING!! Spicy tuna in front and goldfish roll in back in the photo.“

“My family of six enjoy coming to this restaurant for the ramen and teriyaki chicken. We especially enjoy the complimentary tofu soup, as well as the refreshing lime and cucumber water. The staff is always so welcoming, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. The restaurant is also very clean, and we truly appreciate the inviting atmosphere. We look forward to coming back again!“

“Sushi Hachi is the best sushi restaurant I have ever been to; it was so good that my boyfriend and I went back two nights in a row. Their cocktails are great, and my personal favourite was the 8th street specialty sushi. The atmosphere and mood is calm and pleasant, and the staff and service is top notch. I have to mention our waitress too from the second time, Soko. She remembered us from the previous night, she even remembered which drink she had made me! And she took the time to make some recommendations for us, and brought us some miso on the house and was just the most pleasant and friendly waitress I have had in a while. Thank you!!! We will definitely be back again for as long as we are in/near DC.“

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

“The pictures are not up to to date and they have much less options now. There's no more poke bowls, dim sum, or sushi. Just rice/noodle bowls, and pho.

I got a fried rice bowl with teriyaki chicken, and it was very good. You get to pick that toppings, just like Chipotle. It's a weird choice, but I added potatoes to it, and they were SO good. Great favor, soft and with crispy skin.

The serving sizes are big and I couldn't finish. I was just a bit disappointed they didn't have poke bowls any more.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sakura Express was absolutely amazing!
The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was kind, quick, and made the experience even better. Whether you’re craving sushi, hibachi, or a quick bite of something delicious—this place hits the spot every time.
Highly recommend! 🍣🍱🔥

My only complaint is that when my glucose level dropped very low, I asked for a cup so I could get some ice and drink something to raise my sugar. Unfortunately, I never received the cup. As someone living with diabetes, this was not only disappointing but also concerning, since timely support in those moments is very important. I truly hope this can be improved for the safety and care of future guests.”“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

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

“There were many DMV favorites I discovered at this restaurant. It is well worth the elevated price because the food is fresh, plentiful, and tasty. Best bacon and egg sandwich and seasoned fries in town! The decor is top notch with very comfortable chairs. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!“

“WOW! I got the Aka Oni Karaka, no corn, plus spicy miso paste. 🗣BEST ramen I have ever had. The service was also top notch. Told Ariel what I usually like and he suggested this bowl. No regrets of any carbs in this bowl. I WILL BE BACK for this same exact meal.“

“I super love Akira Ramen, I love their Volcano Ramen,it's the best Ramen ever!Worth the price.They have all sorts of authentic Japanese dishes that you'll love. I also love their sushi plus, all of the staff are approachable, especially Emily. So....what are you waiting for? Come and visit Akira Ramen ,THE BEST RAMEN IN MARYLAND. 🥰❤“

“There is always someone cleaning the tables and the environment is SO clean and comfortable. Especially the service too, they are so nice and patient with customers. AND the FOOD, it is so DELICIOUS, the portion is really good, they also give out extra sauces without charging extra 😋😋“

“I ordered pick up.. The food was soooòoo good. Definitely will be back“

“My coworkers and I love going here for lunch. Their hibachi, bentos, Ramen and sushi are so fresh each time. We prefer here over quick way or any other hibachi place in the area and we have some picky eaters here. You have to try their dumplings, beef and shrimp or bento boxes along with their tempura shrimps. We also love that for their Ramen, the meat or shrimp are separated from the broth and don't become soggy. Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed.“

“Good Food!!!! Good Service!!!“

“The food is awesome!!! The steak was cooked perfect and the Fried Ceab Roll is a must!!!“

“It was my first time there my daughter took me she said you got to try this please it did not disappoint the dumplings are amazing they have so much variety you can't go wrong with none of it you at least have to try this place once even for lunch“

“Great Hibachi or chef was excellent provided a nice show. The food and staff were both excellent!“

“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)“

“Sushi Sato is a welcoming spot if you want a venue where you can actually hear your dinner company/date due to the table seating arrangement (not crammed 6 inches from another table) and also for solo diners (dining service for bar seating is top tier).

I’ve been here a few times in July, August and Sept 2025 and have tried both the AYCE and à la carte dining options. But I was recently impressed most by my last visit (August 2026); Alexander the bartender (or was his name Alejandro and I misheard? ) had some great roll recommendations (Sato, Pacific), made a great lychee cocktail, and he was super patient when I changed my mind on an à la carte order literally 30 seconds after he placed it into the system. 😬

I hadn’t tried dessert there until recently. The passionfruit cheesecake was delish. 😊“

“I absolutely love this place, I eat here in the regular my favorite fried dumplings and sushi, but I just think 1 ingredient is missing in the rice that makes it sticky because the Shushi falls apart and I have to eat it with a fork instead of chop sticks but IT'S DELICIOUS!!!!! I will continue to eat here until the end of time ??“

“One of the restaurants inside the Stamp Student Union. Seating in common Stamp dining area. Great poke bowls. Consistently delicious.
Michelle is the sweetest! She deserves a raise!

Parking: It’s on UMD campus so look at umd website for parking details. I wouldn’t recommend driving here.“

“Never been here all 4 years, but found it a couple weeks ago and I can’t get enough. Love the lunch deal it comes with two rolls and a soup which is the perfect amount of the food. The fish taste very fresh and the portions are great for the price. Highly recommend.“

“It was my grandsons birthday and we wanted to grab something to eat before watching the movie Spider-Man. Not only did they make sure we got our delicious food quickly, when they brought out his dessert they played a happy birthday song! I can not say enough about the incredible service, friendly environment and incredible food. We all live far but the food is always worth the drive!“

“I have eaten sushi here many times and enjoy it every time! The fish is very fresh since they get if from the fish market next door, I especially enjoyed the king roll and a custom one I had them make as they also do custom rolls! Will definitely come again!“

“Great Hibachi or chef was excellent provided a nice show. The food and staff were both excellent!“

“What is it about astronaut-types who love sushi? This might be a generalization but Osaka is a NASA haunt. I’m pretty sure this sushi restaurant’s bread-and-butter is due in part to the fact they are literally across the street from NASA and know how to serve delicious sushi with decades of veteran expertise.

Osaka Japanese Restaurant offers tasty and reliable dishes. And has for many years. It does not have a fusion menu or flashy decor. It does has traditional Japanese fare that you will enjoy and likely come back for.

The sushi bar, itself, is small. I’ve sat at it a few times, over the years, and found it a friendly and comfortable place to dine alone. The service in the large dining area is usually austere and efficient. I’ve only ever seen one waiter work the entire restaurant at night and he does it well.

When we dined here, recently, I was in a Japanese comfort food mood. So, this review is devoid of any raw seafood reflections. There are many, many options outside of sushi to choose from at Osaka.

I was relieved to know that our dishes came with miso soup and a ginger dressing salad, as should be normal at full-service Japanese restaurants. The dressing was so good that I sipped most all it after the salad was gone. I lost all of my dignity and sipped it like soup.

I ordered a Bento Box. The Bento Boxes are impressive, here, because of their variety and portion size. We enjoyed Bento Box “B,” with salmon teriyaki, 6 California rolls, shrimp and vegetable tempura, gyoza dumplings and white rice.

I wouldn’t dare ask for a California roll substitution because I’m guessing everyone else does and classically Bento Boxes are not ‘make your own’. But I abhor the painted-red faux crabmeat in California rolls which one finds at many restaurants and markets. Not these rolls, at Osaka, however! I actually more-than-liked their California rolls and Ican honestly say I do not usually eat them without removing the meat. Not here. This is really saying a lot about their food quality, here. I didn’t ask but I think they actually use real crab meat instead of the pollock or otherwise fish blend that 95% of places use in California rolls. When you’re in the state of Maryland eating California rolls, faux crab meat is heresy.

The salmon teriyaki in the Bento Box B was a tastey surprise! It was super-fresh, perfectly seared and not overcooked. The shrimp tempura were average/fine. The vegetable tempura was even better: asparagus, eggplant and a yam. I think the fried coating could have been lighter and airier but it was not too thick.

The gyoza dumplings were a definite stand-out: were these homemade?! They must have been because they were expertly seasoned, delightfully herby and aromatic. Must get more gyoza!

Entree #2 was pork katsu called Ton Katsu. The pork was good but I much prefer their chicken katsu. The person I was sharing these dishes with preferred pork. It was good and well-seasoned. The ton katsu sauce was complex and the umami was definitely there. It was thick, smoky and dark. Not at all sweet. We also requested the sweeter teriyaki sauce on the side and I ended up using equal parts of each.

The second standout at Osaka was the cabbage side dish which came with the pork ton katsu entree. This was a lovely and unique presentation of thinly-sliced cabbage along with other flavors. I don’t know if they also offer this as an appetizer but I really liked it. I also added some ginger dressing to it and tasted even better.

All in all Osaka Japanese Restaurant in Greenbelt is maybe overlooked and should never be because their sushi and entrees are at least reliably classic and good, if not delicious and - at times - even surprising.“

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

“I frequently visit this location, in fact this is the only location I come to here in Dc to have Quickway. The staff are really nice, I never have problems with them, they are very accommodating, and the food is always great. The best part about coming here is, the staff have my order memorized and all I have to do is come in and pay for my food.“

“Amazing place food really good“

“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.“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place was so good! Visiting from out of town so this was my first time. Beef & Chicken Combo with fried rice AMAZING. Green Dragon Roll was so flavorful and would 110% get it again with its little crunch, Rock n Roll sushi roll was delicious as well with the right amount of spice. The workers were so nice and welcoming.“

“I’ve been coming to super Japan for the past 5 years. Safe to say they never disappoint. The food is fantastic, flavorful and delicious! I tried the Korean version of their plate and I can’t get enough. Obviously the teriyaki chicken is the most popular but if you like spicy I suggest you try the spicy Korean chicken version. It has a kick to it and you taste the peppers. Thats what I usually get. Today I ordered the spicy Korean and as you can see in the picture the portions are great! the best in the area the quality of the food is A1.“

“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 came here and got some sushi after bowing at White Oak, and the food was really good! Everything was to-go due to COVID; we got the California Roll, the Spicy Tuna Roll, and the Shrimp Tempura Roll, as well as Miso Soup. All were very delicious and the wait time was very reasonable!“
