“We love Beijing Tokyo for both dine-in and delivery. The food is always fresh, tastes great, and service is quick and friendly. My 5 y/o loves the Wonton Soup and Fried Rice, and I love the Chef's Special Creamy Shrimp and Beef Sticks. I've never had anything bad here in the two year's we've been eating here or ordering delivery. The food is always hot and the delivery drivers are always very friendly.

Parking: It's in a shopping center, so there's plenty of free parking.

Kid-friendliness: I bring my kids here and they are always welcome. There are always family dining in here and the staff is friendly towards children.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant seems to be wheelchair friendly.“

“It’s a really nice store.“

“Perfect Spot for Friends & Family!

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, inviting, and super fun — perfect for both family gatherings and catching up with friends. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu and making sure we had everything we needed.

The shabu shabu was top-notch — fresh ingredients, high-quality meats, and rich, flavorful broths. They had a great selection of veggies, sauces, and dipping options that let everyone at the table customize their meal just the way they liked it. We especially loved the wagyu and the spicy miso broth — so good!

The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and had a great energy without being too loud. Plenty of space for groups, and the table setup made it really easy to enjoy the cooking experience together.

We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy, interactive dining experience that brings people together!“

“As always, fantastic sushi and other options. Very pricey for your typical sushi place but that's because this place is definitely not typical. Top notch options. The Butter Scallop on sushi is just OUTSTANDING. Staff is also super nice.“

“Found this Sushi restaurant in Herndon and it did not disappoint! We ordered a few special rolls and the Caterpillar was delicious. Other rolls were good too. We also had a Ramen noodle bowl which was plentiful and fresh tasting. All in all, would recommend and would visit again!“

“Born and raised in Japan, I am pretty judgmental when it comes to any establishments claiming to be “Japanese.”

I had miso soup ($4), Toro Bowl ($28) and hot tea ($3).

Toro Bowl: I was not impressed, but definitely this dish was not disgusting like some other fake Japanese restaurants serve. Ikura wasn’t the freshest, and the three sheets of nori (sea weeds) were stale (thus making it chewy rather than crispy) and tasted very cheep. Overall it was “Okay”

Miso soup: I was pleasantly surprised with how they have used decent amount of dashi in their soup (like how they do it in Japan), giving it an authentic twist. The soup was flavorful and I enjoyed it.

Tea: this was another pleasant surprise to receive what it mocked as Genmai-cha (tea with roasted rice bits in it). Well done.

From what you get in DMV area, I’d give a 4 stars or even 4.5 stars. As an overall “Japanese” izakaya, I’d put this in 3 stars range.“

“Sushi Cho is a fantastic spot for sushi lovers, offering both freshness and creativity. The rolls are beautifully presented with vibrant toppings like tuna, salmon, mango, and even jalapeños, giving each bite a unique twist. The sashimi platter was also generous and incredibly fresh, with melt-in-your-mouth quality.

One thing to note is that the restaurant space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit tight when it’s busy. However, the cozy atmosphere adds to the charm, making it a nice spot for casual dining or a quick sushi fix.

Service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience pleasant overall. Despite the limited space, the quality of food and presentation makes Sushi Cho absolutely worth a visit.“

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

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

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

“Wonderful sushi especially the chirashi. The tempura is also delicious always crisp and not greasy.“

“We got the pork (i think) cheesy katsu. It was absolutely delicious and well worth what we paid. The side bits were also delicious and really complement the katsu itself. Really nice guy (owner?) served us--I'd definitely come back again!

The only slight downside I had was not service or food related, but the lighting in this place was really...depressing?? It was a cold office overhead light feeling, I think they'd benefit from warmer bulbs.“

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

“I have eaten here dozens of times including my birthday this year. The food and service have consistently been incredible! My family loves the atmosphere and friendly staff, and even my kiddos ask to stop by for shrimp pops. Definitely recommend Ariake!“

“So happy to have found this place. Will definitely return! Excellent food and price! Friendly staff! Thank you 😊

Updating my review ::: we have returned several times and greeted with a friendly welcome, and enjoyed delicious freshly made food! Pro tip::: after your meal check out paradise ice cream for dessert 5 minutes away!“

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

“New Sushi/Ramen restaurant that my wife and I have been to at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks. The food and service is incredible and the prices are very reasonable. We love the fried tuna, avocado, and cream cheese roll, shoyu ramen, and their bento boxes. Everything we try tastes so fresh and flavorful! Can’t wait to keep sampling more of their menu.“

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

“Second time here. First visit was hibachi for my son's birthday a couple of years ago, and this time we ate up front at the tables. Both times we enjoyed our meals, and everything seemed fresh. You can order off the hibachi menu when you sit up front, which was nice. The two sushi rolls we ordered were very good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The nigiri is the highlight here. Delicious sushi, good vibes, and excellent service. I think a better omakase experience could take this spot to the next level

Thanks for being great!

UPDATE: I’m moving in a week and wanted to try this wonderful spot again. Love it!! 🙏 🍣“

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

“yummmmmm bento box did not disappoint“

“Great food. amazing service“

“Excellent food and service!“

“I rarely go out to restaurants anymore, partly because of my gluten and dairy intolerance, and partly because I am tired of so many artificial ingredients or too much sugar in food. Tonight was my first visit and I was really blown away. I ordered a Bronzino dish on the specials menu and it was served on some kind of crispy rice. It was so delicious and clean and fresh. The skin was perfectly cooked so I ate it as well. The rice and the special sauce that was dabbled on the side was not too sweet. The Genmaicha (sp?) tea was perfect. And I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the price given restaurant prices these days for food of this quality. The atmosphere was lovely and the utensils were particularly impressive. Son loved the lobster mac & cheese, as well as the Matcha tea and white chocolate mousse. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“An excellent sushi place off the Little River Turnpike, straddling the line between casual and elegant. Perhaps more old-school than modern, but that doesn't detract from the food and service.

Absolutely great place to sit down and chill, or to enjoy a great meal. Doesn't have to be sushi, they also have Thai.“

“When you call, he doesn't even ask the name for the order, he just tells you when its going to be done. He knows who you are. normally when I order food like this i only eat the noodles and meat. Not here. Even the veggies are good. Nothing is left in the container when I'm done. Try the wontons“

“Great place for a casual dinner, the all you can eat option is awesome if you are hungry but don’t expect amazing quality from all you can eat. Good alternative option for people who don’t like sushi as well. I would say overall for the price you can get a better meal at a regular Asian cuisine restaurant.“

“Great food......................“

“Sushi Prince has the best sushi in all of Fairfax. The fish and ingredients are always so fresh and delicious. It is the perfect spot for a date night.“

“This is one of the best Japanese steakhouses I have ever been to. I have been to a handful but this place has always been my home. I have been coming to this place since I was a child and before the new owners. It has yet to disappoint me with anything. Atmosphere is always great and the food is even better. I miss Kawasaki because he would do the craziest things like throw an onion from across the room for a free meal (which I caught) some of the best memories of mine have come from here. I 100% suggest if you haven’t had hibachi before.

Kid-friendliness: Came as a kid and always had options“

“We love coming here, great ambiance and people. David the manager was very accommodating and our chef - Ryan - did an amazing job tonight. We love that they give noodles and fried rice! Also you MUST try the Tokyo Shrimp here it is FANTASTIC!! The filet mignon melts in your mouth love the salmon lobster and scallops too. Their ginger sauce, yum yum sauce, AND salad dressing are all on point. It’s hard to find a place that does everything as well as Samurai. We drive from Ashburn just to come here for hibachi.“

“Excellent sushi restaurant! We were in Vienna and craving sushi and found this gem. We were seated right away, greeted with a smile and had a lovely evening. We started off with the edamame and miso soup and salad. We were BLOWN away with how good everything was right off the bat! The house salad had a onion sauce on the top that was so good! Best house salad I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Then we both had rolls that were amazing! Joanne was our waitress and she was so kind and efficient. She even provided us with recommendations and a great description of some of the dishes I asked about. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vienna! Thank you so much!“

“Yummy 😋 it’s my favorite restaurant 😋😍“

“The sushi was outstanding and very reasonably priced! I highly recommend. We will be back!“

“Great little sushi spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Red Devil and Volcano rolls were fantastic, full of flavor and beautifully made. Service was attentive, though the restaurant is quite small, so it can feel a bit crowded during peak hours. Still, a solid choice for quality Japanese food in the area!“

“Best authentic Japanese cuisine in our area😋“

“I always love the sushis over there & he loves the beef bento..“

“Great food, generous portions, cozy atmosphere!

Went to Izakaya Khan on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised — not too crowded and no reservation needed. It’s a cute little izakaya with a solid menu and fair prices.

The assorted yakitori offered great variety and was very affordable. Some pork skewers were a bit tough, but most others were delicious and fun to try.

The fried shrimp was a highlight — super juicy and fresh inside, crispy outside, and not greasy at all, even after it cooled down.

The tonkatsu rice bowl came in a generous portion and was satisfying overall. Nothing too surprising, but still quite good.

The stir-fried large intestine had a Korean-style spicy sauce — fragrant, flavorful, and really enjoyable. A bit spicy for my personal taste, but would go perfectly with a bowl of rice.

Portions were big and prices reasonable. We ordered several dishes and couldn’t even finish everything between two people. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for a relaxed and tasty meal.“

“As authentic as it gets. Highly recommend the spicy chicken halal ramen. The broth had a great flavor and there was a generous portion of noodles. Most ramen places in the DMV play it safe with a high sodium broth and offer chili oil on the side, it was nice to have something different.“

“*incredible* sushi. I typically only eat sushi rolls, but the 🍣 was the most delicious I’ve ever had in my nearly four decades on this earth. Highly recommend the seared salmon belly, fatty tuna, and hamachi belly with lime zest. Lovely service in a cute and intimate location.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“I am a fan of unagi (eel), so when a friend recommended Taiko Sushi I had to start with their unagi domburi (eel over sushi rice).

It is simply the best unagi domburi I have ever had in the DC area.

It was $30, but the portion size was generous and it came with several small sides such as Japanese pickles and seaweed salad. I'm glad I didn't buy an appetizer, or I wouldn't have been able to eat it all.“

“This is a fast food alternative that we found very satisfying. There are not a lot of choices, but they are what they say they are: teriyaki and sushi. We liked everything we got. The Combo seems to be the best buy in the long run, but everything was fresh and tasty. We will be back now that we have found this alternative.“

“To the comments giving bad reviews: 1. Who orders sushi for delivery? It’s supposed to fresh. 2. Sushi is always ‘overpriced’ for the amount of food you get. At least this place gives you high quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference. 3. Other reviews complaining about the dining experience really don’t seems to have a developed taste. The sushi is so good that it doesn’t matter is you are just giving “one napkin”. Ask for more. The sushi is delish. The true flavor of the rice and the fish and the extra topping really come out because they don’t douse the sushi in so much sauce that all you taste is the sauce. It really is fresh food as you must sit and wait for the order to be made. You can also observe the owner making it. I was never too much of a sushi fan, but this place has won me over. Also, the owner is a wonderful women. She has a lot of humor and is very welcoming. She likes getting to know her customers and developing a relation with them.“
