17 Best Japanese Restaurants near Dumfries

“Hands down the best restaurant in the area. We live nearby and order weekly, sometimes dining in, sometimes takeout. My husband and I often comment how consistently fresh the sushi is. Like the person managing the inventory and sales is crushing it. We used to lived in D.C. and even at our favorite places there were a handful of times when the fish wasn’t that fresh. Further, they actually have rolls on the menu that use raw fish and don’t have cream cheese, are deep fried, or include a “crunchy” aspect (seriously, look at any other sushi menus; you can’t unsee it).
We go for the food, and the pleasant staff and quick wait times are a plus.

Our only wishes: a spicy tonkotsu ramen, delivery services, and maybe a rewards program :).“

“I order take out from here fairly often now that I've found it. I have a gluten allergy and they are very accommodating and careful with gluten free. A lot of Chinese restaurants don't offer gluten-free, so its great!! Obviously, not everything on the menus is available gluten-free, but there are multiple options. We've ordered many times in the past few months. There was only 1 time that I had a reaction, and it's probably because a gluten-free item and a non-gluten-free item got mixed up. After that experience, I have just asked them to label the gluten-free items to assure it doesn't get mixed up. They have been really good about it. One of the guys that works there, I'm not sure if he's the owner or not, but he goes above and beyond to assure the food is gluten free is safe for me. I very much appreciate him! It's a great little place with good food if you're look to order Chinese!“

“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“

“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 tried Hibachi Black Pepper Chicken with veggies and fried rice. The serving size was good. And we also tried BBQ Chicken Musubi and I really liked both of the dishes. The Kheer (rice pudding) reminded me of my mom, just the right balance of sweetness. The overall bill was under $25 I think. The lady at the counter was very welcoming and helpful and made our experience even better.“

“I first visited i ❤️ teriyaki the day they opened. Found them by accident that day. I have been coming back ever since. The food is excellent, large portions, and the owner john is very nice. My daughters, who are all grown up now, ask to go here when they are in town. So i recommend this establishment wholeheartedly.“

“I’ve been going here for years and it just gets better . The food the atmosphere the wait staff is all great ! Love to take family here for gatherings . Highly recommend.“

“The talent and creativity intertwined with the freshness equals culinary excellence! Thank You Sony!“

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

“Nice flavors and properly prepared (Moms dish - chicken & broccoli). I had the Bi Bem Bop. Flavors were good. I do prefer the more traditional hot bowl to crisp the rice with other ingredients hot. But this was still a nice BBB.“

“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.“

“Love the Garlic Twin“

“Food tastes amazing as always and very large amounts of food. However I’ve occasionally ordered take out from here and when it comes to take out it’s not the best experience. I pre ordered through my phone and when I arrive this has been the third time they say my order was already made and given out. I’m assuming other customers are taking more than just their order. It’s easier to just order there and wait for your food. I ordered at 6:36 pm and arrived at 7 to give them enough time. I arrived and the cashier says they’re working on my order still; okay I sit down and wait and I see tickets being cleared and called out. I go to the person expediting the food and she says “ no I made that order along time ago and her face just got shifted. I said he’ll I’ve been waiting and she had even told me to wait till my name was called out so when I approached her again that’s when she kept saying she gave it to someone else. Took her a while to tell the staff to remake my ticket. I know how annoying this must be and how dishonest customers can be and want to lie to take more food. I felt her attitude change and her staff looked a little nervous. I tried to ease her up as I didn’t mind waiting I just wanted the food. I know it’s not her fault again and customers screw businesses over by taking other customers orders. I believe for how busy it seems at this location they should have a better system in place or at least have customers have to verify their orders before just saying it’s theirs without any conformation. Again great tasting food , workers are very hard working, love this place but when it comes to take out I suggest just order in person and wait for food instead of the app.

“So good�“

“My favorite spot! I have been going there for over ten years.“

“I went there around 6 p.m. on a weekday, and the place was already packed. The food was warm, which was nice. One thing I wish they had was disposable gloves for picking up food. Some of the serving utensils were a bit sticky, and it felt uncomfortable holding them with bare hands.

This place isn’t really a Chinese buffet. It feels more like a general buffet that also caters to the Latino community. They didn’t even have fried rice; you cannot NOT have fried rice at a chinese buffet. They also had sushi, which honestly wasn’t great, but I didn’t go there for sushi anyway.

One thing that really stood out was the imitation crab soup. It was really good, and you don’t usually see that kind of soup at a buffet like this, so I was impressed. Other than that, it felt like a typical buffet experience but a little less.

For the price and the variety, I’d give it four stars, but I wouldn’t call it a Chinese buffet, just a buffet overall.“

“Best sushi I’ve had in a while. Fresh and delicious. Great selection and prices. Definitely making this a regular stop!!“
