YamaChen's Sushi House

Literally this the best sushi GEM. If you’re in Ashburn/Sterling I HIGHLY recommend. The food is amazing and it’s at a much more reasonable cost compared to all of the other Japanese options around here.

Saturday night hours are precious, so I am writing this to help suburban couples out on a lark save time and avoid this place: We landed here because our favorite sushi place was busy, and we had to catch a movie. The miso soup is watered down and flavorless. The salad dressing was inedible as the taste overwhelmed. Fried shrimp was okay and gyoza was fine, though I’m quite sure I heard the microwave laughing in the background. The hot/cold temperatures of the rolls supported my concern. The gyoza sauce was over-salted. The sushi was poor quality, and again, had overwhelming taste to the sauces. Really, this is mall food at a higher price with a more tasteless array of sauces. Note: I normally do not review restaurants online, but I found this experience so bad that the need to share was overwhelming.

A very calming atmosphere. A little pricey ($17.55 for the Spicy Fire Chicken entree without tip) but worth it, as the portion was large and came with rice. Delicious food and very kind staff. I always get take out, and it’s always timely.

The takoyaki is not on the dine-in menu, but they have it, and it is always great! Everything I have had here has been really great

I have not yet been in to YamaChen's, but I use their app for delivery. I highly recommend their boba teas, especially the black milk tea. Their avocado rolls with soy skin substituted for the nori is amazing. 10/10 ?

Vegetarian options: Great rolls, especially avocado!

Overated reviews.. didn’t like the rolls at all.. miso soup is extra $ which is fine, but very watery nothing tastes like miso. I left most of the food behind.

Very cool interior design and huge shout out to the staff for how friendly they are. They gave us free cheesecake bites at the end of the meal and were incredibly attentive while my friend and I ate.The sushi was pretty good but the chicken and noodles dish was just middling. Good place if you're in the area but not exactly destination dining.
