15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Arlington

“Our favorite sushi place in Virginia, hands down! Loyal patrons for 4 years, and never disappointed.

Our server this evening, Quynh My, was fantastic! She had great recommendations for things we had not tried, and everything came out quick yet we did feel rushed. Great spot if you are looking for one
In NoVA!“

“Went for dinner at opening time and there was no wait and restaurant was basically empty which I like. Immediately greeted and sat and provided menus. The service was outstanding, maybe due to how busy the establishment was at the time, but nonetheless outstanding!! Our waitress was very kind, attentive, and pleasant. The food was all soooooo good. Started with the soft shell crab which when delivered to the table had a small flame in the middle;great presentation!!! The fish was very fresh , and you could see the chefs making all the sushi to order which is great. Toll sizes were normal size about 8 pieces and all were delivered at once which I like. The restaurant is a little smaller with about 15 ish tables so I'm sure it can fill up quickly when busy. Desert was also great ❤️. Loved the presentation again as the flatware was very cute as you can see in the photos. Best sushi I have had in Virginia so far ❤️❤️❤️. Prices were reasonable for the amount of shushi and sake that we ordered and would def go back. Must try

Parking: Underground parking garage that is used for the Harris teeter as well. Lots of parking which is great“

“environment was calm and neat (demure and mindful). service was great. everyone including chef was warm, welcoming.

surprisingly they had uni from California which tasted so fresh with slight sweetness. the amount of food was satisfying as well. the containers were tiny cute cups sculpted from cucumber which brought the natural refreshing smell.

uni was $15 a piece. other sushi/sashimi on the menu had decent price.“

“Loved this place! It was my first time trying them on a whim. We did takeout dinner and got the spicy salmon and unagi sushi (really good) and we wanted a salmon teriyaki bento box, but they usually don't make them past a certain time, but they made an exception for us and it was delicious! Super friendly staff and great food“

“Super good food they have that holiday promotion for 2, varieties of meat from pork, beef, that chicken and shrimps are delicious. Friendly staff. Place is clean, excellent service. Highly recommend when you are in Arlington, Virginia come visit too!“

“This place was great for a quick bite and conversation with tables in separate areas and food was good. My only wish was that the area was cleaner and all staff would need to participate in hygiene and disposal. I'm posting only as a helpful critic.“

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

“Went here for my father’s birthday and really enjoyed everything about Gyu San. The atmosphere and styling was done very well and the staff were very nice. The cooking experience was fun and easy and my premium harami was amazing! Hope to come here again soon.“

“The spicy pork ramen was very tasty, although I can't vouch for how "authentic" it was. It was a smaller portion than I'd have liked for that price ($26 with tax and tip), and I would have liked a little more heat. But it the flavors were very good, and I'll definitely be back to try some of the other ramen options.“
