13 Best Japanese Restaurants in Alexandria

“Lovely sashimi! Authentic Japanese dishes.“

“This was the 2nd time dining in at Ichiban. The food is fantastic and the service is amazing. Gary and Ling are the proud owners and ensure your experience is perfect. Ling makes the ramen broth from hand and Gary came and sat down with us to just chat. You don’t find this type of service and care these days. Ling gave us complimentary mochi and a box of macaroons. My parents had a family business in Nebraska and I know how much heart, work and money goes into making a business successful. I will definitely be back… next week! 😊“

“This place is awesome. Never disappointed when we go there. Their food is delicious.“

“An excellent sushi place off the Little River Turnpike, straddling the line between casual and elegant. Perhaps more old-school than modern, but that doesn't detract from the food and service.

Absolutely great place to sit down and chill, or to enjoy a great meal. Doesn't have to be sushi, they also have Thai.“

“I had the most incredible experience at Hinata Sushi!

The sushi was absolutely outstanding! fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight, and you could tell the ingredients were top-notch. We tried a variety of rolls, each one unique and delicious in its own way. The chef’s creativity and attention to detail really stood out.

We also appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the meal, like the perfect pairing suggestions and the attention to dietary preferences. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines such high quality in both food and service.

Overall, Hinata Sushi exceeded all our expectations. I can’t wait to come back for another unforgettable meal. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for the best sushi in town!“

“Delicious food and very friendly services. Been there many times.“

“This is one of the best Japanese steakhouses I have ever been to. I have been to a handful but this place has always been my home. I have been coming to this place since I was a child and before the new owners. It has yet to disappoint me with anything. Atmosphere is always great and the food is even better. I miss Kawasaki because he would do the craziest things like throw an onion from across the room for a free meal (which I caught) some of the best memories of mine have come from here. I 100% suggest if you haven’t had hibachi before.

Kid-friendliness: Came as a kid and always had options“

“Have dined and ate alone and with colleges at Momo. Always fresh sushi and great service. On my rotation in Old Town Alexandria. Love it!“

“Hands down the best sushi restaurant in NOVA! The quality is great, the prices are reasonable, and the presentation is phenomenal! The service is also great with the servers being attentive and kind

Parking: Never any issues finding parking. It’s plentiful and close but

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of other great Asian dishes that kids would enjoy like fried rice“

“Always a wonderful dining experience with Walter (Hibachi Chef) and others!“

“So many varieties of food here from different Asian cultures! I have been eating here for years and had the chance to meet the owners, they were kind and deeply cared about my experience at their restaurant. Personally love the Kung Pao Chicken with white rice but also the beef Szechuan style, will be coming back more often.“

“Very good sushi and skewers. The bartender was super nice and made delicious cocktails. The Zuki moon Pilsner was very good as well. We got the deluxe tuna roll and rib eye skewers. Can’t wait to go back and try other items. Highly recommend!“

“The service was outstanding. They make you feel incredibly welcome. The food was really good. Each bite of each dish was mmmmm worthy.
There were even high schoolers there. They were just a bit loud, but enjoying the food like all the other customers.“
