We were blown away by how good the sushi was being in a strip mall next to the grocery store. All of the fish was the perfect serving temperature, not the overly chilled fish you'll find when people are trying to mask the off flavors.

Ok, wow...I ate at another sushi place a few weeks ago and thought I would try another here in the Manassas area. Well this place just blew me away. I had the Kenny roll and the Shogun...amazingly fresh and the sushi just melted in my mouth. I also had the Dynamite salad and I can't recommend it enough. Service was excellent and the sushi is absolutely the best I've had to date in this area. Don't hesitate to come here. AMAZING!

Holy cow! I’ve walked past Aka Sushi every time I’ve gotten a haircut for the past 15 years. I finally noticed their 4.5 stars on Yelp and 4.8 on Google, and figured I owed them a shot.
They passed the visual inspection at the sushi prep bar, so I cautiously started with some yellowtail sashimi. It was fresh and delicious.
They’ve got the classic Japanese beers, brewed in Italy and the US, of course, but still felt authentic.
I dove into the White Dragon roll, and it was so good I had to try the Sexy Mama roll too, even though I was full.
Guilty of judging a book by its cover (next to a dry cleaner), but Aka blew me away. Not just the best sushi in the area; some of the best I’ve had in years, across several states. The service was amazing.

I was looking for a local alternative to grocery store sushi, for those occasions when you want something that isn’t pre-packaged. Ive tried a few other places in the area all of which were ok, but nothing special. Stopped in here for lunch and was blown away by the quality of sushi and the menu. By far my favorite sushi I’ve had since I left Japan. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

UPDATE*** Still the best sushi in the area! Owners and staff are delightful and I continue ie to go here regularly since my last post 6 years ago😋
This is by far the best sushi in the area. Service is always great and the fish is fresh and made to order. Fire fire roll and Kenny are the family favorites. My go to place for a sushi fix!
Clean and friendly. Staff very attentive to refilling your tea. The first cup of tea tasted fine but when it got refilled, tea tasted chlorinated. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Miso soup was piping hot as it should be. Disappointing that there were no tentacles with the calamari Salad.

I can't say enough good things about this place. It's really a gem of a spot and I look forward to each and every visit. The staff is very attentive, the food and consistency are wonderful...and the pricing and portions are as well. Celebrated a birthday here recently and it was a great way to celebrate!!
