And the decor is beautiful, we got some great photos of our lunch. Great date spot. For a celebration. Or just to stop in. And I know it sounds weird but, try the water!“

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

“Fresh, delicious sushi, amazing service and vibe check on point!
We got the best, most epic sushi boat I've ever seen in my life. The fatty tuna and the salmon belly sashimi is probably the best sushi I've ever had. The wagyu was also super delicious and we love how it's served on a banana leaf. We can't wait to try their other dishes like Udon and Wagyu Sukiyak“

“Good sushi and good service.“

“While traveling, I stopped by KAZONE for a meal with friends. The atmosphere was classy and the staff were friendly, which was nice.
For the meal, I ordered pork cutlet, mixed buckwheat, and takoyaki, and I also ordered tteokbokki as a side menu. Everyone in my group enjoyed it and were satisfied. The pork cutlet was so meaty on the outside that it melted in your mouth. In particular, the tteokbokki was much more delicious than the tteokbokki I had eaten before. There was
I felt really good because I felt like I found a good restaurant during my trip. I would like to recommend kazone to those looking for a good restaurant.“

“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!! 🙏 🍣“

“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 food. amazing service“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Best Poke bowl I’ve had this side of Hawaii. It was delicious. Put Wasabiko on your must-do list!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience! The kimchi was a standout—my friend ranked it in her top 5 of all time. The staff were incredibly sweet and even brought her an extra serving. We tried a variety of sushi, and every piece was fresh and flavorful. The squid legs were especially impressive, perfectly cooked and tender, not chewy at all. Each meal also came with a small peanut salad and a comforting bowl of miso soup, which was a nice touch. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Amazing food and great service! Highly recommend 😊“

“Before trying this place, I must admit I was somewhat skeptical. However, upon trying their food, it greatly surpassed my expectations!
The restaurant is pleasant, clean, and simple, yet the flavors are tasteful! It has become my go-to place for Japanese rice bowls! Their tempura is truly exceptional!!“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“Wow! New chef Jason is a rockstar. Best meal at hibachi ever. No extra sauce, just cooked to perfection with the right amount of flavor.“

“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!“

“Where do I even start? After seeing so much hype for Sushi Ohayo on TikTok, I decided to visit after the buzz died down a bit. Let me just say, I'm so upset I didn't come sooner. This place offers all-you-can-eat sushi for $31.99 per adult, and it was worth every penny.

I stuck with the classics: spicy salmon roll, spicy California roll, New York roll, fried dumplings, and steak hibachi. Everything was an absolute 10/10. But what really STOLE the show were the volcano roll and the Ohayo roll--both are a MUST-TRY. The volcano roll was hot and delicious, and the Ohayo roll had the perfect crunchy tempura texture.

I can't even put into words how amazing this place is--you just have to try it yourself. The service was fantastic too--our server was very attentive, constantly checking to make sure we had sushi in front of us at all times.

Definitely coming back. It's a 45-minute drive from where I live, but it's 100% worth it!“

“Lil Bowl has the best Thai food in all of Virginia! They also have sushi and other things! If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great people!“

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

“Best authentic Japanese cuisine in our area😋“

“As a Mongolian Asian, omg!! This was one of the best Japanese themed restaurants ever! Although the people who work there may be Korean, but their food actually tastes authentic!! I was greeted by friendly employee upon entrance and seated immediately. It was a lunch time, about 2-3 tables were busy. I ordered the Ramen and some rolls. Omg the Ramen was very similar to the ramen i ate in Japan!! The noodles were not packaged ramen noodles from store. It was the actual Japanese ramen noodle. The broth the rolls were perfect. Hospitality was amazing! Definitely coming back!! What a great first time experience!!“

“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.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“Love the Garlic Twin“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve been to this place almost 100 times and it’s always going to be my favorite sushi place. The prices are so customer friendly and student friendly for the high quality and fresh sushi you get at Yoko, and it’s made right in front of you. The customer service is awesome. Highly recommend!“

“What a wonderful dinner we just had at YamaChen's. it was a lovely experience from beginning to end. Relaxing atmosphere, amazing staff, and of course, the sushi was divine. Thank you so much, for a wonderful, interesting, and tasty meal!“
