Japanese Restaurants near Clifton

“Hands down the best in the area. Fast delivery. Portions are solid & quality of food is fantastic.“

“We love this place!! The combo menu is so great and we got beef and shrimp. The staff prepared the sauce and we enjoyed the fresh meat/veggies and the sauce is delicious. We also tried Vietnamese platter- a real treat. Must try. The combo menu is very reasonable and we are very full.“

“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!“

“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

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

“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!“

“This is my first time at sushi oishi ayce and it really exceeded my expectations. This place was suggested by a friend and I finally came here. The wait was a bit long due to it being busy but I got seated within 10 minutes. The service was pretty good but the sashimi came 25 minutes after I ordered it. The food overall pretty good and the sushi rolls arrived within 5 minutes of ordering them. The staff were also pretty attentive.“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“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“

“I've tried all the sushi restaurants in Vienna, and Sushi Yama is hands down the best. The fish is always fresh, the service is friendly and efficient, and the quality is consistently excellent. They have a great variety on the menu, and everything is prepared with care. My go-to spot—highly recommend!“

“Better than your average takeout.

Hibachi Express is exactly as advertised, quick and delicious Asian-style food.

The beef and noodles I ordered were hot and cooked to perfection. The fried shrimp was satisfyingly crispy. The spring rolls were light and savory.

Just under $10 for an entree of meat and rice/noodles, plus a tempting selection of additional sides. You just can't resist treating yourself with a very filling lunch.

The staff is professional and committed to quality food service. There's no nonsense to ordering, the menu is clear for you to choose your cravings, and it's ready in just a few minutes.

The dining area is clean and cozy, a balance of modern fast-casual and classic Asian. It's worth coming back to enjoy your favorite meal or try something different.“

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

“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!“

“I was craving Japanese curry and this is where I ended up. It's located inside the Lotte Asian supermarket, a food court. Look for table area and you will find a variety of small eateries, of which Hikari is one of. I got the Pork Katsu curry (there is also a chicken option instead of the pork). I enjoyed the meal, it was tasty and generous portion. The breaded fried pork tasted fresh and made to order. Even the simple small miso soup that came with it was tasty. I am usually not a fan of miso soup but this one tasted perfect. I will go there again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best authentic Japanese cuisine in our area😋“

“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!“

“Loved the sushi and the atmosphere. The staff was so nice and the food was amazing. Will be back often!“

“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.“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

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

“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.“

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

“Super friendly and attentive staff, excellent tasting food and nice, family feel in the restaurant! There are many options for sushi, and for grilled food, their special rolls are a highlight!! Highly recommend Sakura and will definitely return. 5 stars !!!“

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

“All you can eat sushi at about $26 p/p. Add $6 for sashimi options. Good sushi, fresh and not a ton of rice to fill you up. As all-you-can-eat goes, this place is a keeper. Usually order a set amount from any sushi restaurant, so that's what I ordered... That's all I can eat! Check was about 15% less than a regular sushi place with comparable quality.“

“Love the Garlic Twin“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Loved this place and experience that comes with. Very nice people and delicious sushi!!“

“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!“

“A tad bit on the more expensive side, but the food is great, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is very kind. I’d definitely recommend this place if you and your friends are looking for some place to have a good time and get some good food and drinks.“

“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.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“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.“

“Really good hot pot spot. The broth was flavorful and not too heavy, and everything tasted fresh. I liked how you can customize everything to your taste, and the options were solid. Service was quick and the atmosphere was nice too. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“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“

“It’s a really nice store.“

“We love Beijing Tokyo and come here (or order delivery) at least once a month! My personal favorites are the Beef Sticks and Jumbo Shrimp in Creamy Sauce — so good every time. My kiddo always goes for the Wonton Soup, and their fried rice and sushi are also excellent. You really can’t go wrong here.

They’re also very family-friendly, which makes dining in easy and enjoyable with kids. Delivery always arrives hot and fresh, and when we eat at the restaurant, the service is consistently great. It’s one of our go-to spots and we highly recommend it!“

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

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sushi On at Fair Oaks Mall, and it remains one of the best all-you-can-eat values in the area. While the dinner cost for an adult is $42 plus tax, the sheer variety and quality make it worth every penny.
The sushi selection is absolutely massive. Unlike many buffets where quality can be hit-or-miss, everything here tasted incredibly fresh. From classic spicy tuna to elaborate specialty rolls and fresh nigiri, the chefs are constantly replenishing the trays so your favorites are always available. Beyond the raw fish, there is a surprisingly good selection of other food including Korean BBQ galbi, crispy tempura, and snow crab legs. I was also very impressed by the good desserts; the made-to-order crepe station is a total game-changer and a perfect way to end the meal.
The service was exceptional. Despite being quite busy, the staff remained professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. They were quick to clear away empty plates and kept our drinks full throughout the night. Just a heads-up for those visiting on the weekends: this place is popular for a reason, so be prepared for a wait line of about 30–45 minutes. If you want a top-tier dining experience with a staff that truly cares, I highly recommend checking out Sushi On. I will definitely be returning soon!“

“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!“
