22 Best Sushi Bars in Alexandria

“After a fantastic dinner at Barca, our group of five headed over to Casa Luna to wind down the evening — and it was the perfect choice. Although the bar was fairly busy when we arrived, Gloria made sure we were comfortable while waiting and kept us informed about the next available table. Her attentiveness set the tone for a great experience.

Once seated, Gloria quickly walked us through the menu and took our drink orders. We started with a round of espresso martinis, which were expertly crafted and a perfect way to kick off our Casa Luna visit. Our table was located near a projector showcasing scenic views from around the U.S., which added a calming, cozy vibe to the space.

Following the espresso martinis, the standout cocktail was the Lychee Martini — fresh, flavorful, and quickly a favorite among the group.

A big thank you to Gloria and the Casa Luna team for the delicious drinks and the warm, laid-back atmosphere. It was the ideal spot to end an already memorable night. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We come here for lunch often because it’s close to the office, and the sushi is good quality at a decent price with good service. It’s a special place to celebrate birthdays and promotions. I especially appreciate how anytime I’ve encountered a small issue or misunderstanding, the owner went above and beyond to clear things up and make it right.“

“Tucked away in an unassuming corner, Handover Pizza is the kind of hole-in-the-wall spot you almost don’t want to share—because once word gets out, the line will be out the door. They serve pizza by the slice, and it surprisingly delivers. The crust comes out thin and crispy, with just the right snap when you bite in, while the toppings taste fresh and balanced without being overloaded. It’s the kind of slice that feels classic but elevated—simple, satisfying, and exactly what you hope for when you wander into a no-frills neighborhood pizza joint. A hidden gem worth stopping for.“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“Love this place, sushi & ramen is consistently delicious. I also love the matcha latte, and mango mousse cake. Solid choice for dine in or takeout. The broth reminds me of home. And the prices are very reasonable. Street parking/ pickup available.“

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

“Been hooked to this resto since 2022. Been all over the US, from California, Texas, Colorado, Georgia etcc… and this is far the most fresh, and best tasting sushi we have ever gone. We always order the redbull roll and never gone wrong! We also order toro ( fatty tuna) sashimi because it just melt on the tongue like butter. It’s so fresh! The marbling on their Toro is majestic! I tried to look and eat for the same roll from other resto, and no one has beat kumo. The staff are always polite, kind, and energetic. If you’re ever in DMV, this is a must place to eat!“

“The sushi here was excellent and beautifully presented! We tried the Burning Love roll (served on fire), the Hawaiian Bad Boy, the Volcano Roll, and the Fried 2016. All were fresh and flavorful, though I was more impartial to the Fried 2016 compared to the others. The highlight for me was the spicy ramen—it was honestly some of the best ramen I’ve had in the area. The broth was rich, flavorful, and had the perfect spice level without being overwhelming. Great service, great food, and a fun dining experience overall.“

“This was one of the greatest food experience on king street, from the moment we went through the door we were greeted by a very nice gentleman. This gentleman promptly provided us water and menus. He was very friendly and very kind as this was her first time visiting we ordered dumplings I forget which ones but they were very good and they had tofu in them, which is a very big shock factor to me nonetheless, it was delicious after that we ordered general tso chicken and general tso tofu, let me tell you that was some of the best food I have had. This is definitely the prime Asian restaurant on King Street. I will be sure to go back again. Lastly, the service was so good. I saw the server run a whole block to give a family the fried rice they left at the table. I have never seen that..“

“Stopped on a whim. I was walking by, hungry and reviews looked good. So glad I tried it. I ordered the miso ramen to-go. The broth was separate in the take away container which meant everything didn’t get soggy while I walked a mile back. Miso was really good. I wasn’t a fan of the noodles. I prefer them a little thinner. Despite that, the miso ramen was really good. The meat was cooked perfectly. Miso was tasty. I would definitely eat here again.“

“Hinata Sushi is my family’s go-to Japanese restaurant in Alexandria. The food is consistently really delicious, with good portions and fair prices. The lunch specials are a really great deal— highly recommend.

The menu has a broad range of Japanese appetizers and dinner options, and both the hot food and sushi are excellent. Sometimes at other restaurants, the hot food is better than the sushi or vice versa, and that is not the case at Hinata. The kitchen dishes and sushi are always delicious. I especially love how fresh the sushi dishes are.

The service is also gracious and attentive, and the restaurant environment is not loud and always clean.

Hinata is a neighborhood gem on every level!“

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

“Great food and awesome staff! 5 of 5 for sure.“

“I had a great experience tonight and the chef was amazing as well as funny, will be going back with more coworkers. Thanks for the experience and laughs.“

“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.“

“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“

“Food is nice 👍 and friendly staff as well no negative comments“

“The Presentation of the Food so artistic 😋 😍“

“Good food and service! Recommend“

“I ordered delivery from Sarku Japan, and it exceeded my expectations! The food arrived hot and fresh, and the portions were incredibly generous—definitely enough for leftovers. The chicken teriyaki was packed with flavor, perfectly grilled, and paired well with the rice and vegetables. Everything was well-packaged, and the delivery was on time.

If you're looking for a delicious, filling meal that doesn’t skimp on portion size, Sarku Japan is a great choice. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“
