19 Best Sushi Bars in Alexandria

“Randomly found out about this place after having dinner with a friend at the sushi restaurant upstairs. It looked like a cute modernly decorated bar once we entered and it was. The music was GREAT, the bartenders were lovely and super attentive! The drinks had delicious interesting flavors and definitely gave you that kick you’re looking for after midnight. We got to sit at the bar to enjoy your cocktails.“

“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!“

“The only place that I can get a slice in Old Town Alexandria. They always have cheese & veggie pizza if you don’t consume meat. I love their crust & the quality of their toppings.

Vegetarian options: Cheese Pizza“

“This place is pretty authentic and highly recommended (I have been to Japan and Korea several times). Friendly staff, excellent service, and food is wonderful every single time. I've eaten inside with my boyfriend at least 10 times. It's a perfect quiet meal and date night location for us. Beautiful sashimi, sushi, delicious teriyaki, tempura, very very cozy...has the feel of being in Japan. Great portions and fair price for the area.“

“It all started when my best friend and I individually drove past Sushi Jin and somehow both said “hey we should try that Sushi place on the corner!”. Well we tried it out one night, and the rest was history. In the time she lived in Arlington, we ate at, or ordered Sushi Jin at least once a week. The restaurant is comfortable and modern, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Every time is just as good as the last. The extensive and creative vegetarian options are so delicious and delightful. A true testimony to how sushi can still be just as unique and satisfying- yet plant based. I find this to be a rare quality in sushi offerings elsewhere. They are all amazing choices, but the fried avocado roll is my favorite item on the menu. The spicy Mayo is always just right. The grilled edamame is incredible. They know what they’re doing. Eventually my best friend moved away, so I don’t find myself going there as often without her but she will frequently text me about how much she misses it too. It will forever be a very special place to me. Sushi Jin is hands down the best sushi. Love you guys.“

“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! 😊“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Good hibachi and delicious sushi.“

“I love visiting this place the food service and atmosphere is always on point. Give them grace as the language barrier is there but always without a doubt enjoyable. I can never take a proper pic because I always devour the food before I can get my phone out. Sushi is always fresh!“

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

“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“
