“I’ve been coming to Suny Sushi since they first opened, and it is — and probably always will be — my favorite sushi spot. The fish is so fresh and the sushi rolls are AMAZING. The owners are incredibly kind, and so is the entire staff. They even gift me miso soup sometimes (I come like once every two weeks haha).

I seriously recommend this place. It’s not too expensive at all, and the quality is just amazing.

My favorites are the Triple Salmon Roll, the Triple Connection, and the Mango Madness.“

“They were quick and the food was awesome“

“Yume has become my favorite spot in Northern Virginia for sushi and there are a ton of options! First off, their rolls are quite off the beaten path and delicious! No typical California roll here! I had the Crazy Monkey, and the Jeff and the Peter rolls! Don't know who Jeff and Peter are, but they make a mean roll! And Franz, my waiter, was fantastic. The only issue was trying to use the $16 Open Table credit because Open Table doesn't clearly state what the server needs to do, likely in hopes that the diner will just give up and forget about it and never use the credit. Not so fast, Open Table...“

“I always enjoy a magical meal when I eat here.“

“Mariana was amazing! She had the best suggestions for us since it was our first time at Shabu Shabu. She was also super helpful with tips on how to get the best flavor out of our broth, veggies, fish, and meat. Fun atmosphere, great food, and even better service!“

“My friend David Nguyen recommended me this sushi spot in Fairfax and I have to say- I can't believe I didn't come here sooner. The service is fantastic and sushi isn't good- it's phenomenal! We ordered the 208 pieces for 6 of us and we weren't too hungry going into but that sushi boat was devoured in less than 10 mins. The sushi was fresh, wasabi was on point and the service made sure we had enough water throughout the meal. I would definitely come here again! Thanks David Nguyen for the recc!“

“My bf and I loved this spot, it was so cute and intimate. I will say it's much lighter than we were expecting about half of the dishes had wagyu and the other half were lighter bites. I thought it was a great balance and was satisfied.

The chef Jason was really the standout for us, he handles all the dessert in house and it was incredible. We'll come back just to see Jason.“

“Best sushi restaurant me and my family have ever been to. Our server, Jay made our experience even better with his service that went above expectations. They also gave complimentary matcha ice cream for our birthdays that was insanely good.“

“just want to tell you...the best in DMV 5☆“

“Incredible dinner experience. Chawanmushi (egg custard) is to die for. Each dish was prepared with such care. I felt like I was back in Japan. A wonderful service - chef Urara is lovely. A great wine selection. I can’t wait to go back.“

“I'm so sad we found out about this place just as we were leaving DC. The seared salmon belly had that delicious char flavor and melted in my mouth. The salmon sashimi with wasabi olive oil was a punch of wasabi in the best way, and also melted like butter. All the nigiri is divine with how fresh and thick the cuts are, and the wasabi is pure. The rolls are uniquely flavorful -- we loved the salmon skin and white tuna especially. I would skip the tempura roll as the texture was too soft for my liking.“

“Discovered this place by accident while on the Crescent trail, and oh my what a happy coincidence. This is by far (!) the best sushi that I’ve had so far in DC: the rice is well cooked and seasoned, it sticks well to the sushi but at the same time is spread very thinly (a hallmark of a good place), and the rolls are so full of filling that they look like they’re bursting. The fish is fresh and flavourful. The price is more than reasonable (around 12 to 15 dollars for a dish). The owner/cook is obviously extremely competent and very fast in preparing your order. Fantastic place, I have to come back here as soon as I can.“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“Outstanding dinning experience! We’ve been to and have had Korean BBQ, but NOTHING compares to this! The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!“

“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!“

“I have overlooked Sushi N You for years eventhough it is right under my nose. Don't make the same mistake I did! This is an amazing gem in the neighborhood. The sushi was EXCELLENT. The place is spotless, cozy, and welcoming. The staff was so nice, attentive, and accommodating. We will now be regular customers for both carry-out and dine-in.“

“Amazing Memorial Day lunch, from the cocktail to the clams miso soup, high quality sashimi imported from Japan, this restaurant offer a Japanese twist with a western touch!

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

“Been here twice and the food was fantastic each time!“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“tengo 15 años de venir aqui sin dudarlo se lo recomiendo la mejor comida“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

“The whole menu here is excellent. Both the sushi and the sake are thoughtfully and chosen and prepared. The attention to detail both in the menu and the decor shows the care and dedication they put into the food. I highly recommend Shinwa to anyone who appreciates exceptional sushi.“

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!“

“I stopped by Eggs&Sushi a couple of nights ago for a takeout meal. This was my first experience there. I ordered a Steak and Cheese sub which turned out to be very good. I did not eat there, but the restaurant was clean and quiet with a fair amount of seating. I'd go back again.“

“This is our second time here. This time, we came for lunch. Sashimi/sushi fish quality is exceptional. Our server, Jana, was super friendly and efficient. It’s a great price deal without compromising food quality. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The food here excellent and always presented well. The owner and his staff are always polite and I enjoy every visit, and if it's a quiet enough time, the owner will come sit and talk to you so you have someone to enjoy your meal with.“

“Very solid food and all you can eat at a good price. We'll be coming back for sure.“

“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.“

“Wonderful sushi especially the chirashi. The tempura is also delicious always crisp and not greasy.“

“We had the most wonderful dinner tonight celebrating a birthday. Quan Tran was amazing! The food was so good and he was so fun!“

“Went last night for the soft opening and was very impressed from start to finish. The bartender, Chi, was personable and very attentive and we enjoyed various foods that were all top notch and some nice wine. Other staff who are coming and going were also very nice and you would never have known it was their first night. I worked in various aspects of the restaurant business for 15 years and have been to various soft openings, and these guys did a fantastic job. The owner Jay came by and chatted with us to make sure everything was going well and you can tell he really cares about everything. Pak Soii is a very welcome addition to Del Ray Alexandria and I can't wait to go back.“

“Fresh and interesting sushi items. Extensive menu. Good service. I like what I’m eating :)“

“Quick, delicious, flavorful, hot! Veggie mix seasoning is fantastic, wonderful service, large portions, incredibly clean! Friendly staff, efficient check out, and great tea selection. The mango smoothie is very sweet! The caramel milk tea is amazing. New favorite place.“

“It was interesting place. Contactless order and dine in on 2nd floor. For lunch, that's actually convenient. I tried mini chirashi. It was good but the sashimi was too chopped. I felt like I was eating leftover from dinner. I wish it was served in a bowl. Being served in a disaposable mini plate made the eating experience uncomfortable and inconvenient.“

“Can’t recommend this place enough!! It’s definitely our favorite sushi spot in town. A great quality for a great price and the nigiri pieces are massive. We usually get the sushi deluxe sampler with a little bit of everything. 1000% check this out if you’re a sushi fiend like myself. (Promise I’m not a bot lol)“

“Sushi Yama I think is the best in the entire Northern VA area in terms of fish quality and customer service.

The sushi is always fresh and great.

Rolls are great too.

Best value in the area, very affordable“

“I felt the staff were courteous and attentive. The atmosphere was more fast food-y though and my dish was nothing more than mediocre. I got chicken and shrimp hibachi and it was just OK. I wouldn’t order it again because I was underwhelmed from the flavor and quality of ingredients. I will say however that the portions are massive so it’s a good deal for the price.“

“sushi is always fresh and service is excellent. Kana is our go to for sushi.“

“Great food......................“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“I've been to Shibuya Eatery many times, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tastes. A lot of places can make food look good, but here you can actually taste the quality of the ingredients. Every ingredient seems like it was chosen for a reason.

The ramen is easily one of the best I've had in the area. The broth is rich and full of flavor without being too salty, and you can tell it takes time to make. The noodles have a great texture, the toppings are always fresh, and the portions are filling without feeling excessive. I've also tried a couple of the rice bowls, which are equally as amazing. Everything tastes balanced, and each ingredient adds something to the dish instead of just taking up space.

What I appreciate most is the consistency. I've never had a meal that felt like it was rushed or disappointing. Whether I'm dining in or grabbing food to go, the quality has always been the same. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out surprisingly fast.

There are plenty of places to get Japanese food, but Shibuya Eatery stands out because it feels like they genuinely care about what they're serving. The flavors are authentic, the ingredients are high quality, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's become one of those restaurants that I recommend without hesitation because I know people will leave impressed. If you're in the Chevy Chase area and want great Japanese food made with care, this place is absolutely worth trying.“

“i had the best experience here, its my second time & this time i dined in rather than the bar. i had the best and sweetest experience with my server, Ina. She gave the best service and had the best personality. 10/10!!!!“

“Sushi Prince has the best sushi in all of Fairfax. The fish and ingredients are always so fresh and delicious. It is the perfect spot for a date night.“

“Super friendly and attentive staff, excellent tasting food and nice, family feel in the restaurant! There are many options for sushi, and for grilled food, their special rolls are a highlight!! Highly recommend Sakura and will definitely return. 5 stars !!!“

“Classic sushi bar with some excellent quality fish. They excel at unique fusion sashimi (like the amazing salmon carpaccio with tomato and basil) and nigiri (the maguro with truffle!) Simply prepared with incredible flavor combos. They also have an incredible sake list! Very well priced, Takumi is our go to sushi spot!

By far, this is“

“Great sushi, friendly staff, and pretty ambiance. Definitely recommend!“

“Excellent foods, good vibes, great services!“
