The best Japanese restaurant in Rosslyn by far! Lovely and super authentic Japanese food at a great price. Lots of different appetizers that you can’t find anywhere else in the area. Imported beer/sake with great selection. Very tasty entrees. Nice staff as well)

Great, underrated restaurant. Family owned and a more personal experience than some of the other sushi restaurants in the area.

The food was great and service was excellent. I will return next time I'm in the area.

I came in alone while visiting from Seattle and got the opportunity to talk with the owner Helen while I ate. She is one of the sweetest women I've ever met. Her and her husband (the sushi chef) have owned the restaurant for 20 years, and they know what they are doing. My samurai roll was amazing, tempura was crunchy and just right, even the miso soup was tasty!Covid has taken a toll on this little business, please don't miss eating here if you are in Arlington. The prices are great and the food is even better. It would be a tragedy if somewhere this good with owners so kind doesn't thrive!

Hidden gem in Rossyln. Small, family-owned restaurant and a very nice couple. They have fast service and the best priced sushi in the area and high quality too! Will absolutely be making this a regular go-to spot.

This location is bottom of the barrel with customer service. I simply needed to order a shrimp tempura roll and was told NO. I had to order from the specified lunch menu only. Note they have a full menu. It was due to o lu ha being 2 workers. I honestly didn’t mind waiting for what I wanted to pay for. So I will not be returning.

I wish I researched restaurants better before our visit in June 2022. We went to the nearest Japanese restaurant from our hotel looking to eat some katsu. We ordered 3 takeout dinners and the bag felt unusually light when we left the restaurant. When we got back to our hotel and opened the styrofoam containers, there was barely any food. Half as much katsu as other restaurants typically give. Miso soup had 1 or 2 tiny pieces of tofu and no seaweed. Tasted like it came straight from a packet. We felt totally ripped off! A few nights later, we tried eating at Toryumon in the same area and it was hands down superior in every way!

Great food! I always loved japanese cruisine and I can tell that they always serve fresh food, the prices are reasonable of course. the japanese have such raw food and they need best ones to avoid poisoining. thumbs up! 10/10 recommended.

Everything was delicious: the sushi, the teriyaki, and even the miso soup. Will be going back.
I love Kanpai restaurant - they're such a wonderful little locally owned restaurant that's one of the best Japanese comfort-food spots in the DMV. Kanpai is best known for their fantastic lunch specials. When I worked in the neighborhood I would go over and get a wonderful katsu lunch plate for right around $10. But Kanpai is even better for dinner, and if Rosslyn was more active in the evenings I think Kanpai get the recognition it deserves.I love going to Kanpai in the evening and enjoying their really well curated list of noodle dish specials like nabeyaki udon and zaru soba depending on the season. You can even get handmade yaki onigiri that looks and tastes flawless. Any place that keeps a natto handroll on the menu cares about the details - I don't even like natto and I still order it every time I go just on principle.Give Kanpai a chance to be more than a business lunch and you'll find a real neighborhood gem.

Very good.

My friend and I came 30 mins before closing and before we sat down they said we need to hurry. Then the waitress wanted us to move to the back which seemed it was due to our race. After, we sat down she rushed us and did not pay attention to the order in detail. The order came out wrong, they she stated we needed to cancel our order and pretty much leave. If they did not want to take any more customers for the evening, I would of preferred they just say that instead of giving rushed, unprofessional service.
