10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Centreville

“Came here for dinner with friends and everything from food to service was impeccable! The portion sizes are huge, to the extent I couldn’t finish the sando that I ordered. My friends ate half of their katsu. The breading on the meats were super flaky and seasoned well, not dry or tasteless as seems defacto for many katsu preparations. We also got curry on the side, which was well curated with chunks of meat and veggies. I was honestly so surprised because it tasted like the curry specialty hotspots in the northeast where I moved from. Sam was our waiter and checked in on us multiple times throughout our meal. He was super kind, personable, and just a fun dude that made our dinner experience better. An older gentleman, who I had the impression was the owner or manager, stopped by to check in as well.

Overall, a great place for top tier katsu. The difference in ambience during the day and evening also makes it a great choice for casual dining, date nights, and drinks with friends. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Such a great spot in Centreville! The ramen broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect bite. The takoyaki was delicious, with a soft center and savory toppings that made every bite so good. We also loved the ikageso karaage (fried squid legs), which was crispy, well seasoned, and hard to stop eating. Definitely get a few appetizers to share along with your ramen. Already looking forward to our next visit!“

“Really impressed with this place! Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavor. We also loved the atmosphere, and the service was great. Everyone was friendly and attentive. We had a great experience overall and will definitely be back!“

“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.“
