“Sushi was very good, didn't expect the fish to be this fresh in an airport. My kids also loved their udon.

Although the price is not low, considering the quality, exceeded our expectation for an airport restaurant.

The service was good, although we were there in a less busy time (7PM), we had kids traveling with us, the staff was friendly and accommodating.

I do agree with other reviews that it is a bit awkward that they do stare at you when you trying to pay your bill on their portable checkout device. I just clicked on 18% (the lowest option by default) quickly and move on with my day. I have seen other places with the lowest default at 25%, so this is not too bad IMO.“

T-swirl Crepe Japanese • $
4238 Wilson Blvd, Arlington

“I absolutely love this place, their crepes are incredible. I’ve had the matcha chocolate truffle and the lychee rose and both were excellent. The crepe itself is so crisp and the fillings are always balanced and not too sweet. My only feedback is I wish they had knives and plates to put the crepe on; I was sharing two with a friend and it was impossible to cut them with plastic forks and try to share. Besides that it’s so delicious and I can’t wait to try more of them!“

“We had a lovely dining experience at this restaurant. We had traveled to Washington DC from Toronto, and after a long day of walking and sight seeing, we were looking forward to some nice food. The Tonkotsu ramen was absolutely yummy, as was the California roll sushi. My husband ordered the tofu teriyaki rice and loved it. The staff was super friendly too.“

“We dined on a Saturday, which was very busy, as the space is not too large. The main lesson learned is the Diamond level is not worth it, though the food is all quite good. Even if you go with a larger group/ long table, you still only have one grill. This makes it very challenging to cook and feed efficiently, especially with the seafood that takes longer to cook in conjunction with the times seating of 90 minutes. Again, the food was very good across the board, from apps to the me at quality to sides, to dessert. However, we were in a panicked rush the entire meal trying to cook our food. Didn't catch our server's name but she was very pleasant and nice, inefficient in bringing our food and checking in on us. Would come again but for a lower tier.
Plenty of street parking around the restaurant.“
