“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.“

“I had never found a place that served grilled shellfish, but this place was a wonderful find. The shellfish was incredibly fresh and delicious!
The sea squirt bibimbap was also outstanding. The sea squirt was so fresh that its rich, distinctive aroma infused the entire bowl of rice, giving me a true taste of the ocean.
Highly recommend this place!“

“They were quick and the food was awesome“

“We had such a great experience at Yume! The food was delicious, but what really made our visit special was Hermella. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

We’ll definitely be back, and hopefully we get Hermella again! She is a true asset to Yume. Highly recommend! 🍣❤“

“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!“

“One of my patients let me know that this would be their last week in business - the owners are retiring. Wonderful, cozy restaurant with the best sushi and home style dishes in the entire metro area. I have been coming here for 20 years. Sad to see them go, but glad it is of their own decision. Thank you, Kotobuki, for 20+ wonderful years.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is, without question, one of my favorite restaurants in DC. I’ve been coming here for over three years, and every single visit leaves me impressed—their menu changes with the seasons, and it never fails to delight. This summer’s offerings might be my favorite yet; the food is creative, delicious, and made with real care. What keeps me coming back just as much, though, is the service. They remember you, they make you feel welcome, and every visit feels a little like coming home. I’m already looking forward to the next one!“

“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.“

“Every bite was perfect, the space is just right and the wine pairings were great. We were a large group and were seated at the Chef’s table where we had the pleasure of observing each round of fresh ingredients expertly crafted into a sublime dining experience. Cannot wait to go back!“

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

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

“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“

“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’ve dined here many times and it is one of my favorite food places. Absolutely amazing sushi everything tastes so fresh and I especially love the miso soup it’s just perfect. The service is great and the workers are very friendly, and the interior looks pretty nice. The smoothies taste really good I especially like the mango tango and their deli sandwiches are good too, I recommend the steak and cheese sandwich.“

“This restaurant was SO amazing! The inside was cute and cozy. It may have been a little small, but it certainly made up for that with the delicious food! The service was incredible; the servers were so kind and listened to every request. Would definitely recommend the crunch roll, Japanese lasagna roll (has a crunch cheese on top), friendly neighbor roll, etc. Would definitely recommend coming here!! 😋“

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

“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!

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

“Great sushi place to try!“

“Great food......................“

“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.“

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

“I was craving some authentic Bangladeshi-style Chinese and Japanese flavors, and I had already tried so many places—but nothing really satisfied my taste buds. Then I visited Flame Japanese Hibachi, and in one word: AWESOME! 😍
I absolutely loved the food! It brought back that familiar, comforting taste I’ve loved since my childhood. ❤ The flavors were exactly what I had been craving.
The only thing that bothered me was that they don’t have a restroom. Other than that, everything was 10/10! ⭐
Keep up the amazing taste and quality! I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. 😇❤“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“My friend and I were staying at a Residence Inn nearby and we fell in love with this restaurant. The ramen was fantastic, the sushi to die for, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming to a degree I wouldn't have expected coming from the opposite end of the country. Big shout out to Gary as well, great chef and all around fantastic guy! I will be back!“

“We chose the omakase experience and it was exceptional. Chef Zach takes you on an incredible culinary journey, with each course carefully crafted and explained. The amount and range of food more than justify the price. The setting is intimate and relaxed and the staff are friendly and attentive. Easily the best sushi we've ever had. We'll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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“

“Excellent food and service!“

“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 !!!“

“We went back to Shibuya after an initial visit shortly after opening and were much more impressed this time. The Yakisoba and the Summer Noodles were flavorful and served in generous enough portions that made leftovers possible. The chicken in both dishes was excellent. Although the setup looks like fast food, each meal was prepared from scratch. We won’t wait so long next time before returning.“

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

“I love this place! The sushi is amazing! I love salmon and their salmon lover dish is the best thing on earth. There’s so much care that goes into their food and restaurant. I’m going to be returning more and more!! So worth it and delicious!“

“Excellent foods, good vibes, great services!“

“Always great food, great service, never disappointed. Love love this place. Please stay open🤗“
