16 Best Japanese Restaurants in Arlington

“I had a Bento box, which included miso soup (really delicious; if they had an all-you-can-eat option, I would’ve just had that), tempura shrimp, fried rice and sushi. My love had their miso soup and wok fried rice. We both had pink lemonades, and at the end, they give you 2 large slices of watermelon. With tip, we spent $42. I’m glad we tried them again.“

“Best hidden gem in Arlington!“

“Wonderful sushi ever and friendly staff...“

“Stumbled across this spot just a couple of weeks ago and it has become my favorite. The food is delicious and the menu is vast. I'll keep coming back. Brought my GBaby today and she gave the Orange roll a 10.“

“The food is awesome along with the sushi! Great service and awesome staff! Me and my wife absolutely love this place!“

“The entire Piranha’s family is top notch. Thank you for always accommodating me and our family!! Shout out for bringing in Octopus just for me!! You all are the best“

“I had some of your sushi for the first time this evening, and oh, my gosh, my only question is, "Where have you been all my life!?" Perfect size, perfect texture, perfect taste, and the best part is, you use short-grain Japanese rice (most restaurants I've visited don't), which made it all come together perfectly. Keep up the good work!“

“Always friendly. And the best, freshest sushi I’ve had.“

“The best poke in Arlington. I went to Ahi Poke back when they first started. The owners have always had a passion for quality.

Through the years, inflation has not been fun for anyone, and while they've cut down items from the menu, they've maintained that same amazing quality from the very beginning, which is incredibly rare today.

Looking for a poke place that genuinely cares about the quality of their food? Look no further. Also the best house sauce.“

“First time here and it was better than I ever imagined. California roll was best ever, green tea ice cream did not disappoint. Have not been a fan of going out to eat because everywhere sucks lately but I will definitely be back - our server, Ashley, was super nice and patient.“

“Hibachi offers a delightful dining experience with its perfect combination of great food and entertaining chefs. The hibachi grill setup was a highlight, with skilled chefs creating a show while preparing delicious, perfectly seasoned dishes. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were attentive, ensuring a memorable meal. Definitely worth a visit for both the food and the fun!“

“Always love coming here. The food is amazing, wait staff is always quick and so nice! I always find myself torn between hibachi or getting some delicious rolls so I find myself leaving with a to go box 😜 A must have when in Arlington for sure!!!!

Edit 5/28/26: A few months ago, Google said they close at 3pm. My family and I showed up at 2:40 hoping to get some rolls. We were told that they dont take people after 2:30. I understood and simply made a comment that it would be helpful if they put that on the website cause we drove 30 mins to be there. Fast forward to today..... Google now says they close at 2:30. Me knowing they dont take people after 2:30 thought maybe they changed it cause people walked in after that and 2:30 was the cut off. My family and I again walk in at 2:11pm and are told they dont take people after 2:10 🙄. So annoying. We dont live in Arlington but we LOVE the food here. Details like this would be helpful. Please put stuff like this on your website if you cannot be consistent!“

“A casual version of hibachi style dining. You can watch the chefs make your food and enjoy it fresh off the stove. The Japanese style teriyaki chicken and shrimp are delicious, as well as the rice and veggies. Overall, a great stop for lunchtime while walking around the mall. Well worth the price!“

“Awesome experience 👏🏻 😎 I like that it wasn’t only oriental workers, so it felt welcoming and non judgmental towards Americans. My server also just casually put the check down and came back later without saying much, very private and quiet lunch hours. The seating is immaculate! The booths and tables are spread apart very far from each other which is great- allowing everyone to eat in peace. The buffet itself was incredibly fresh, yummy, and filling! There were loads of options and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was nasty. (Asian buffet sucks in comparison to this place). The decor was cool too. The carpet was nasty looking honestly- lots of food spill stains… but then again it’s probably been in there for decades. I’d 10000% come back here again with my husband!!“

“I eat here fairly often, and have done so for years. My favorite dish is the Happy Family, as it's come the closest to the version I grew up eating at my (small) hometown's local Asian restaurant. It's always good, but what I got tonight? Absolutely on POINT. Everything was good tonight, but the Happy Family was especially so! I definitely recommend Asian Bowl!“

“The only place I go for Sushi! Thank you Ryan and your staff for always taking care of our family.“
