12 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 and has been our favorite for the last 12 years at least, always fresh, tasty, service is great and the food and sushi is the best I have had anywhere. I have had most likely 70% of the menu and always enjoyed everything.

They have a cocktail/drink that contains a white fruit...it is to die for.“

“I can't really review the atmosphere or service because I ordered out. However, I was very pleased with my chicken teriyaki dinner entree. It was superb! I was a little reluctant at first because it looked like something I had never had from a japanese spot, but it was a very fresh and inviting dish.

I usually don't love miso soup but their soup was incredible! I wish I would have snapped a picture.“

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

“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“

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

“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!“
