18 Best Japanese Restaurants in Fairfax

“Psst! Despite the name, the hidden 💎 on the menu is Bun Dau Mam Tom. It's the best in DMV because of the super yummy dipping sauce (I would drink it if not for high blood pressure 😀) and everything on the tray arrive hot, crunchy, and steamy 😋“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Outstanding dinning experience! We’ve been to and have had Korean BBQ, but NOTHING compares to this! The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“
