20 Best Japanese Restaurants in Fairfax

“Ingredients were fresh. Sashimi was very fresh. Mafia sushi roll was the best. Spicy tuna and osaka was yummy. Dragon was alright. Wish the sushi rolls were thinner and a little more well made. The special chefs bonus at the end was yummy! Will definitely be back tho.“

“The service was wonderful. Servers explained the process so it was easy for newcomers to shabushabu. Food was also good. We got the large rib order and the scallop and small rib combo. It was more than enough.

Vegetarian options: Vegetariun options are limited as shabushabu is a meat based dish.

Parking: Free and ample parking“

“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!“

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

“Food was great! All of the specialty sashimi/nigiri bites we ordered were amazing. The Hokkaido Uni in particular was so sweet. We also did the Omakase sashimi and nigiri combo and the fish was very fresh. The size of all the pieces were VERY generous (biggest pieces I've seen). Would come back just for the uni.“

“Absolutely amazing ambiance, staff and the fish is to die for. The fatty tuna literally melts in your mouth. We can’t wait to go back.“

“Loved the food and service at Fujisan. Everything was beautifully plated and there were definitely creative items on the menu. My favorites were the seared salmon belly, Ishiyaki where they cook the beef on the hot iron stone, wagyu uni (simply gorgeous and delicious), sushi tacos, and salmon volcano rice. Yakitori platter was great because we had a variety of tastings. The mushrooms and pork belly were my fav! My friends ordered the soup dobin mushi which comes in the cutest tea pot. If you want something beautiful yet the Fujisan box deluxe. Never seen anything like it, so colorful and lots of fresh raw fish, eel, fish egg, etc. Nice to have something different than your typical sushi boat. The ambiance is really nice too. Very beautifully designed with blues and golds. Very classy. The sushi was very fresh I find that some places don’t have fresh cold fish how it should be so I’m glad this place did not disappoint. As for desserts the green tea mochi, tempura ice cream, and cheesecake were amazing. Personal favorite is cheesecake. Highly recommend!“

“Great food. amazing service“

“Atmosphere is nice, service is very good.
It was our second experience with server Jen. She is so sweet and has knowledgeable about menu. She was patient with us, and recommended amazing rolls depending on our tastes. We are definitely coming back to have pleasant dinner. Also foods are fresh I totally suggested. Dynamite roll is the best.“

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

“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.“

“Love this Japanese restaurant! We have been going for years except for the lost year of 2020 - delicious food and very fresh fish!“

“One of the best places to go for bento, and if you buy from them often and have a rewards card, you are eligible for a free chicken bento or teriyaki entree. I also highly recommend their dragon roll and chicken spring rolls. Service is fast in getting out orders, and the food is always fresh. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“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!“

“招呼很好 食物新鮮 午餐套餐很超值 如果有生日者 送上雪糕“

“I think this is my favorite hibachi place so far, although all of them have the same concept of things, I feel like their portions are definitely bigger and I loooovveee their California rolls! I can not stress this enough! I’ve have California rolls from different places but these are beyond the best. Taste just like my favorite sushi place “Ichiban Sushi” that closed down in McLean a few years ago and ever since they closed I hadn’t found that taste until now at this hibachi place. Not to mention very reasonable price $6.50 for one roll (6pieces in a roll)“

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

“My favorite go to place for when I want to eat a lot go different type of Asian food (ranging from of course sushi to king crabs, galbi, noodles, green tea ice-cream). The mini desserts are so cute. This is my happy place - super easy, no wait, and family friendly. Any time I bring a friend visiting from out of town, they love it. One of my two regular places I go to. Service is also very attentive and friendly!“

“Love it here fantastic beautiful food Attentive staff A delight“
