“Sushi Ohayo All You Can Eat was absolutely packed when we went, which usually says a lot, but the service still stayed great the whole time. The food was pretty good overall, especially for an all you can eat spot, and we ended up trying the hibachi too, which honestly was not bad at all. For the price, it felt like a solid deal with plenty of options and a good experience even with how busy it was. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the mood to eat a lot without breaking the bank.“

“Writing this review for my first experience here. The vibes are definitely there, I really liked the music and the dim lights. The service and especially our server Andrew took great care of us. The servers were all sociable and I had fun with the small talk whenever we had the chance to speak with them. The food was wonderful, def a place to check out. 10/10 recommend“

“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“

“Came here for my anniversary and had great sushi! The ambient lighting was amazing and the food was even better! Sushi Cho is always my go-to when I want elevated sushi with a comforting environment!

We got the sushi & sashimi combo and 2 of their speciality rolls, which is my favorite part of the menu! The scallop burst was a great amount of spice to break up the fish, and the triple match roll was one of my favorite bites the whole night!“

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

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

“5 stars every time. The food is always so good, and the quality is consistently amazing. My favorites are the chicken katsu and cheese katsu — both are so flavorful and satisfying. What makes the experience even better is the service. Everyone is always so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which really makes the restaurant feel comfortable and enjoyable to visit. Definitely one of my favorite donkatsu spots!“

“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.“

“Awesome food, great specials menu (check it out as you walk through the door!) very friendly staff. Great location overall!“

“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!“

“Best Poke bowl in the area. The food is always fresh and tasty, and the service is good and fast. The Poke combo bowl has become a weekly meal for my wife and me. The Kfood is also good!“

“Great food. amazing service“

“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 reviews for this place were so good that I got the salmon poke bowl. I usually don't like poke bowels, but I trust the people's reviews. They gave me the meal in less than 10m, I wanna say closer to 5m. The service was friendly and kind. This was around 3pm, so while everything was quiet. I was impressed they got my meal out so fast, 3pm is generally a lull-in-the-day for restaurants.

I inhaled everything. The miso on the side, and every speck of rice given to me (pictured). Do you know how good food has to be to eat every grain of rice with chopsticks? The sauce was so good, I thought about having a piece of bread to swipe against the bottom to really clean out the bowl. I had a religious experience inhaling everything. The salmon melted in my mouth, the sauce was excellent. They added just enough spice to contribute to the sauce flavor.

Anyways the poke bowl had some raw onions, zucchini(?), and avocado. I wish there was more rice, but that's just particular to me, most people will find the rice/meat ratio perfect. I ate somewhat awkwardly next to the owners/workers in the food court, but I hope it was gratifying for them to see me eat everything so fast.

Take this review with a grain of salt, as I was starving at the time, but 10/10 would come again. This restaurant is an unexpected gem inside of lotte.“

“I'd been craving takoyaki for days, and suddenly decided to drive over late at night. Surprisingly, even though it was close to closing time, they still served me. The waitress, Emily, recommended some dishes, and we ordered them right away. She wasn't just beautiful and kind-hearted, she was practically a buddy! Apparently, she's only there on Fridays and weekends. There were only her and one other guy working at the front; everyone else was chatting. Everything was great, and she even recommended two drinks – such good value! She was so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip, and I'll definitely come back!“

“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!“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“This my first time being there and eating at a sushi buffet. Excellent food quality and Perfect customer service. Employees really care for their customers.“

“I've eaten here before maybe 5 plus years ago. The food was pretty decent , I had the udon and it was pretty decent but could have used a little bit more flavor. My wife ordered the beef teppanyaki and she enjoyed it. My son ordered the tempura meal , he thought it was decent but it too could have used a little bit more flavor. I usually take pictures and add photos to these reviews but it completely slipped my mind this time.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“This restaurant has been fabulous to myself and my boyfriend. We truly love them.“

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

“This spot is a family favorite of my husband and his family. I've been here about 10-15 times now and each time we leave happy, well fed and normally with a little snack/to go box with our leftovers. The fried rice is delicious, they cook everything in front of you (of course) and I'm always satisfied. I will say the prices have increased and the meat quality isn't amazing but it's always a good meal.“

“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.“

“Very good! 4 stars!!! Was nice to get out of the house and dine-in once in a while. Introduced the kiddos to sushi & they really liked it!“

“We have been going to Kumo Sushi since it first opened about 14 years ago. It is the best sushi restaurant in the entire DMV area!! The quality is top notch. The service is wonderful, they treat us like family every time we go in! It is also very family friendly and Mia is the best!! If you haven’t been to Kumo Sushi please go!“

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

“Humongous selection of great
fresh seafood, Sushi, Salads, Rice, Noodles, Soup, MANY Hot dishes, Fried Rice & Vegan choices, Korean BBQ, Crepes, Desserts....the little pumpkin pie & cheesecake bites are perfection at the end of this serious All one can eat adventure. The server was attentive removing my devoured empty snow crab and keeping my water full. Thanks Sushi On 🍣“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved the food! As a frequent customer of Beni*ana this place definitely contends with flavor, quality and especially price (more affordable). Staff is beyond helpful and friendly. Highly recommend Sumo if you’re looking for a semi healthy and delicious meal!“

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

“As it was our first visit, we arrived with a bit of uncertainty, but the experience exceeded all our expectations. The food was outstanding, and both the chef and the server were incredibly warm and welcoming. The prices were more affordable than we anticipated. Since we didn’t have cash, we left the tip online, which genuinely surprised them. The tip was nearly the same as the bill, and it was absolutely well deserved.“

“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.“

“Dined at Benihana in Dulles with a large group of friends last night. Had an amazing dining experience. Customer service was top-notch and Adrian, the manager, spoiled us rotten. The Shrimp Tempura, lobster, and passion fruit lemonade was delicious!“

“Tried Quickway Japanese Hibachi in Glen Burnie for the 1st time tonight. Food was cheap but they got my order wrong. 😢 I wanted to try the shrimp hibachi but they gave both my husband and I chicken. We got it with the fried rice, noodles, and veggies with lots of yum yum sauce. Sides of chicken dumplings and chicken egg rolls. I still enjoyed mine. My husband said that his was bland and he was not a fan. Make sure you check the box if you order pickup from them like I did! It’s basically the food you would expect from a mall food court.🍗 🍜 🍚 🥟“

“Great place for takeout!

We love the Fairfax location much more, though. They have fountain drinks, more food options, and you can eat from a big bowl when dining in instead of a takeout container. They have better music, and there isn’t an alarm bell going off anytime an online order comes in.“

“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!“
