46 Best Japanese Restaurants near Centreville

“I've been coming here the past year and a half, and every single time it's consistently fantastic. Their katsu is the best in the DMV, and comparable to what I've had in Japan when I was there last year (personally recommend the fish katsu, and the chicken katsu). The service is always friendly, and the owner often comes out to check on you personally. I almost don't want this place to get too popular so that I always have an open table ready for me, but they really deserve to be a top spot in this area.“

“The food is always amazing and the staff is SO nice. Now that they have online ordering it makes pick up super easy! The best sushi in northern Virginia hands down“

“Walking into the Lotte food court, I could immediately smell the katsu cooking at Hikari Don Katsu--and it was impossible not to follow the scent. I'm a huge fan of both katsu and curry, so after hearing this spot does both well, I had to give it a try.

The katsu tasted comforting and homemade, like someone put real care into every bite. It was crispy, juicy, and especially good with the sauce, which had a subtle sweetness and buttery richness without being too heavy.

The curry leaned more Korean-style than Japanese-style to me, but honestly, it was so good. It had a nice spicy kick, lots of flavor, and was filling enough that I could happily eat a whole bowl of the curry by itself.
Overall, I was really impressed with Hikari Don Katsu. Great katsu, great curry, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to when I'm craving something warm and satisfying.“

“I have been coming here for sushi. I know all the staff and they know me since my son was in college. Now my son is going to turn 30. I love everything about this restaurant, like family.
If you live around in Centreville you should come by and try.“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“Service and food are excellent, coming back again and again.“

“Very fresh sushi and reasonable price. Can’t find any other place like this in the area. Very satisfying! I recommend sashimi salad bowl with spicy sauce (serves with). It’s Korean style poke bowl! Also miso soup comes with it. If you need more, it’s only $0.50. So good!“

“More like 3.5 stars. The prices are great (by today’s standards) for the portion size. Wait times are incredibly short. And I was surprised by how much protein (shrimp) they gave me in my Bento box. But the food isn’t very flavorful and it’s quite greasy. Also, there weren’t very many vegetables included, and I didn’t get much sauce in my box. I’m not too upset about the taste because of the price, so I guess you get what you pay for.“

“My friend David Nguyen recommended me this sushi spot in Fairfax and I have to say- I can't believe I didn't come here sooner. The service is fantastic and sushi isn't good- it's phenomenal! We ordered the 208 pieces for 6 of us and we weren't too hungry going into but that sushi boat was devoured in less than 10 mins. The sushi was fresh, wasabi was on point and the service made sure we had enough water throughout the meal. I would definitely come here again! Thanks David Nguyen for the recc!“

“Great experience! loved my Bulgogi lunch box special ✨️🙌 staff is very warm and kind! what a pleasant experience!“

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

“place is beautiful. i will def be back. loved it!!!!! takoyaki and ramen were delish!!!!!“

“Food was great for the value, we are sushi fans so we really enjoyed the varieties, fish was fresh, slices of scallops were a bit thin but still sweet, although did taste a little bit of fishiness.. sweet shrimp was not big but amazingly sweet, tuna belly ( Toro) was so good and oily like the way it's supposed to. Ikura ( salmon caviar) second to none, a la carte sushi places doesn't even have this quality. there are 10 sushi chef there you're not going to get the same thing all the time but I don't have an issue with that.. generally it's pretty standard things with sauce may tastes a bit different because each chef may put on different amount.. we eat sushi everywhere even in major cities like California, Chicago, Dallas and New York, we enjoy ayce sushi, Bottom line is $35 is a great value for what they offer.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My husband and I love Lil' Bowl. Tonight I decided to surprise my husband with a bento bowl which he has never had. They were so good. There was so much food, we had leftovers for tomorrow. Yum! I had the Pad Thai...very good. My husband had the chicken fried rice, and we both really enjoyed our Bento Boxes. We also really enjoyed the mango sticky rice for our dessert. If you like Thai and Japanese cuisine, you have to try Lil' Bowl. We highly recommend it.“

“My long time, absolute favorite sushi restaurant in NOVA! Outstanding friendly staff, personal service, excellent and authentic food! I’ve been a loyal customer of this lovely place since they opened 19 years ago! Thank you for a terrific experience!!“

“The perfect spot! A cozy vibe with very friendly staff - thank you to Liliana for being so kind and offering recommendations! As a sushi lover, the selection did not disappoint and nor did the cream cheese crab dumplings. Worth going a second off of route 50 for!“

“UNBELIEVABLE FIND! Absolutely the best sushi! Fresh and delicious! The salmon melted in my mouth! The teriyaki plates were amazing. The staff is so nice and sweet. My wife and I had an incredible experience. We travel an hour each way just to eat here!“

“My girlfriend and I went here for our first time for our 3 year anniversary. It was a very nice and cute place and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was excellent, we both enjoyed what we got and kept talking about how good it was. The best part of our whole meal was our server Jaden. He was very patient with us as first timers and gave great recommendations. My girlfriend and I had a good time with him and great laughs, Jaden and the whole restaurant is a main reason we’ll keep coming back and bring our friends!“

“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.“

“I'm updating my review, Quickway has really improved their speed and orders are handled quickly.. The Bento box is fantastic with a good assortment of Sushi, Rice, Noodles, Meat, Springrolls & Dumplings, everything you want! The hibachi plates are very delicious and generous portions and a great price!! Ordering on their App is easy, and I love the $10 rewards plan they have!“

“First time eating there and all I can say is I'm definitely going to return. I did the AYCE option and I did just that..spicy garlic edamame was good, TNT roll delicious, Butter Garlic shrimp was my absolute favorite and ordered 2 helpings. I would have eaten more but belly said stop. I was a Sushi Masa fan before eating here, but now? I have a new place.
Atmosphere was good and not as loud as Sushi Masa, plus I was at my table after arriving within 5 minutes. Service was good, only complaint is to hope the server slows down just a tad to wait until I finish my order. But overall she was nice and did well. A++...“

“Definitely recommend this place! The staff is so sweet! I’m pregnant and ordered the firework roll and it was the best thing I’ve eaten my entire pregnancy.
The prices are reasonable, great quality food, and quick friendly service. Love this place!“

“The food is delicious, the servers are very friendly and attentive, and the vibe is *chef’s kiss*. 100% recommend checking them out! If you appreciate a calm, soothing, crowd-free atmosphere like me, recommend arriving NLT 8pm 😎🤙🏻“

“This place has really good soup and I loved the quality of the food. The mango sparkler was made very well and this place had a great atmosphere. My server Andrew was very helpful and was very attentive. 10/10 experience love bringing my family here!“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“We took our daughter here for her Birthday dinner! She loves sushi and we’ve been here many times! The owners are awesome Ms Kim! The food is great!“

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

“We ordered teriyaki chicken with rice and spring rolls from the restaurant, I must say that they tasted good. They were on sale too. It came with a sauce, but I ordered extra white sauce, they were tasty too. The were mildly spicy, unlike some other Asian food.“

“What do you get when you pair great food with great service? A five star experience. The atmosphere was a perfect mix of upscale and comfort, and the presentation of the food was amazing for the price! Highly recommend trying this place out!“

“Great sushi, have been going to fortune house for the last 8 years!“

“Went for the first time with me and my mom. We loved it here the moment we walked in. We ordered the shrimp deluxe bento box and the steak deluxe bento box. It was so amazing and the steak practically melting in your mouth. The staff was really nice and this place was a nice place to eat at, definitely coming back in the future when we’re in the area“

“Sushi On has been my family’s favorite restaurant for about 20 years! The owner, manager, and everyone who works here are always so friendly, kind, and welcoming. We have enjoyed countless delicious meals here and made so many wonderful memories over the years. It truly feels like a special place for our family. We always look forward to coming back, and we highly recommend Sushi On to everyone! 🍣❤“

“Service it good, don't get me wrong. But I only wish there was someone talks Spanish so we could know more about the food and try out even more and the great food, so I really did love it. I always have to used Google to see what food is what so I can understand more. But it was amazing and love it! It clean from my two times that I have went there, super nicely, so if you love sushi 🍣 I would recommend it here, and I hope I would try where the chef is and cooking! I heard good comments so! I be more happy to go once more!“

“A group of friends and I arrived and ordered some food. It's a really good place to eat; we had different opinions, but honestly, the staff are excellent at serving customers.The food was excellent. I ordered sushi and a bento box, and I honestly have no complaints. Absolutely delicious and great food.“

“Had a fantastic birthday dinner. Ryan was the best hibatchi chef we've ever had and the food he made for us was top notch too. Staff was also very attentive and everyone was very kind to our kids too. Prices are a bit high but the quality is very good and you do get a lot of food.“

“My family went here for Mother’s Day. I wanted some good Chinese food that I haven’t had in a long time. All my favorite places have closed and I had a yet to find a place that is as good as what I was used to. I was not disappointed. I’ve finally found another great spot. I live in Front Royal currently but grew up in Manassas and moved all over NOVA. My faves were in Manassas and Gainesville until they closed. The best I’ve found was in Leesburg but still didn’t hit the mark for my preferences. This place hit every mark! I found my new favorite. Very impressed!“

“I enjoyed my bowl today. I just built my own bowl and the portion was sizable. I will go again. I hope they don’t raise their prices though. It’s already pretty pricey for someone to just scoop a bunch of ingredients I to a bowl.“

“I absolutely love this place. Full stop. There’s always a tempting selection of sushi to choose from, and honestly, it’s hard not to over-order “just one more dish”. The chicken karaage is a personal favourite — crispy, juicy, and dangerously moreish. The mini salad deserves a shout-out too; that dressing? Chef’s kiss. I regularly go for the chicken yaki soba or the beef teriyaki, both beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and consistently spot on. Add gyoza as a starter and you’re winning at life. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive — the kind of place where you feel remembered, not processed. Every time I’m back in Fairfax County, this is the place we go. Always such a welcoming vibe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 stars. No notes.“
