Japanese Restaurants near Dulles

“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!“

“I feel like this place is a hit or miss. I’ve been there three times now. The first time it was amazing, the last two times not so much. In my first visit, we had sushi and it was great! Tasted good and was freshness In my second visit, the chicken teriyaki wasn’t fully cooked and had fatty pieces. The sushi didn’t feel fresh and was lacking flavor too.“

“This Japanese restaurant is truly one of my favorites! The food is always incredibly fresh — from the sushi to the salads and soups, everything tastes perfect every time. The hospitality and service are top-notch; the staff are always welcoming, and the manager is extremely nice and friendly.

I go there at least twice a week, and every single visit feels special. I’ve never had just an “okay” experience — it’s always amazing! Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious, fresh Japanese food and great service.“

“Excellent service from Jordan, he was so kind and cheerful and made our experience fantastic! Salmon teriyaki was very fresh, lunch deals were good and the ramen was splendid as well. Will be back soon- glad there’s a new sushi place here, it’s what we needed!!“

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

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

“Sushi Cho is a fantastic spot for sushi lovers, offering both freshness and creativity. The rolls are beautifully presented with vibrant toppings like tuna, salmon, mango, and even jalapeños, giving each bite a unique twist. The sashimi platter was also generous and incredibly fresh, with melt-in-your-mouth quality.

One thing to note is that the restaurant space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit tight when it’s busy. However, the cozy atmosphere adds to the charm, making it a nice spot for casual dining or a quick sushi fix.

Service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience pleasant overall. Despite the limited space, the quality of food and presentation makes Sushi Cho absolutely worth a visit.“

“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!“

“The sushi is amazing-as well as the appetizers. Service is perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous!! A must when visiting VA Beach!!“

“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 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“

“The best! They get their salmon fresh everyday and you can tell. Watch the sushi chefs - 6 guys behind the bar working constantly when they are busy. All of their food tastes so fresh and tasty. And their cocktails are delicious! Staff is generally super fast. I eat a lot of sushi and this is by far my favorite place!“

“I’ve found a new favorite Japanese restaurant! Real Japanese food made with actual Japanese ingredients, not the same as the stuff you find in mall food courts or at that [FAST]way chain joint. I ordered the Chicken and Steak Hibachi and the Chicken Yakisoba, and they were both delicious! Portions aren’t generous though, but healthy; you won’t feel overstuffed after eating.“

“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!!“

“Great food. amazing service“

“I gave this restaurant a solid four stars across the board. The food was OK, but not amazing. The service was fine. The atmosphere was acceptable. I ordered takeout and was disappointed to find that soy sauce was not included. Overall, I give this place a meh.“

“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.“

“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.“

“They’re incredibly friendly people! I love both the service and the food—especially the Angry Tiger sushi, it’s my favorite.

As for those complaining about the price of sushi… maybe they should try making it themselves. Then they’d understand it’s worth every penny!“

“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.“

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

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

“OMG I love TOMO!!!!! The service is incredible and the sushi is always always DELICIOUS! I typically get the too too funky roll. Yummm. I take whoever I can here. AND it’s open late!!! Perfect place to go after working all day. By yourself or with others, it’s the best!“

“Sarku has been around for several years at this location. It’s convenient when shopping at this shopping center or if you’re out and about and are looking for a good meal.

Kudos! Something to mention is the food comes out temperature hot, like I like it! It makes all the difference.

I got the Shrimp/Chicken with white rice and spring rolls. Loved all of it. We’ve been here on several occasions and the food is always good. Thank you!

The staff was friendly and helpful when ordering. You order at the register and then your food is brought to the counter for you to pick it up. There isn’t a wait staff.

There are two entrances to Sarku. I didn’t get photos of the other entrance, but will take photos the next time.

They do play music from a radio station or satellite radio, but it wasn’t too loud for me and I liked the genre they played.“

“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.“

“Bento House is one of our favorite fast casual neighborhood restaurants. Tasty food, easy parking, and great service every time we visit. Luis took great care of us tonight! We’ve frequented both the Reston and Chantilly locations for years.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing Sushi and Sashimi - Definitely a Must to Sooo... Fresh and Delicious. We will definitely be Back for more...“

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

“Outstanding sushi, salad, soup and tempura. Great and attentive service. Akira Sushi hits the ball out of the park.“

“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!!“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“HotSpot in Chantilly is one of my go-to places for hot pot! The quality of the meats and ingredients is always fresh, and they offer a great variety of options, whether you’re craving a hearty soup or want to grill right at your table. The all-you-can-eat deal is definitely worth it, especially if you’re going with a group.“

“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!“

“You get a lot of food for the value and it's decent. I wouldn't say it's the best but it'll do.
The sauce is very good.

BUT - the atmosphere is horrendous. It feels like a hospital service hallway in there. All the light bulbs are cool white with no shrouds, there's no music, and the booths don't have padding. I don't know how the workers stay sane. I can't stand sitting in the place long enough to get takeout.“

“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“

“Always an amazing experience. Love being greeted personally by the owners and staff, just shows they have great customer service and management.

Started with an appetizer, and had my usual hibachi steak entree, then one of the new staff members recommended the mochi for dessert which was uhmazing ✨ hand decorated of course..shout out to Laura.

Would def recommend 10/10“

“My husband and I ordered there this afternoon and the food was great! Prices are reasonable and they have a friendly, attentive staff. We ordered the shrimp bowl with white rice, noodles, and vegetables. Delicious!“

“We are so appreciative of the service received from the staff at Sakura tonight. We had family coming into town this evening and the flight was delayed so we had to move our reservation close to closing time. The staff was still very accommodating even though it was late and the food was good. Bubba was our chef and was very personable and entertaining!“

“Dined at this spot several times in the past and ordered for delivery many times as well. We went back last night and was very happy with our order. Had several maki rolls and they were also very good. Good service, nice atmosphere! Definitely recommend. Can’t wait to go back .“

“A great Sushi restaurant. Must try ,! Delicious food, nicely decorated clean and very friendly service. Many different choices. Can not wait to go back.“

“Yummy… love their presentation and fresh food!“

“I’d been wanting to visit Sushi On for a while, but honestly, the 3.8 rating had kept me hesitant. Recently, I noticed their reviews improving to 4.2, so we finally decided to give it a try and I’m so glad we did. The overall experience was outstanding. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the setting was beautiful. As a Korean American who’s tried many all-you-can-eat sushi spots, this one truly stands out as the best so far. If you enjoy Korean-Japanese style cuisine, Sushi On is definitely worth checking out.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“
