Japanese Restaurants near Falls Church

“yummmmmm bento box did not disappoint“

“I eat here more than I should probably admit. The seared salmon belly is truly perfection. Coming here and not getting it is criminal. Also highly recommend the walu with wasabi pickle, spicy tuna roll, house roll, hamachi belly, mushroom miso soup. The staff are wonderful, too. It’s a small spot, but two people can still get a seat without a reservation.“

“Great meal! Stopped by for lunch and got the chicken hibachi, and that comes with veggies and a choice of rice or noodles, all for $9.25 ($9.86 after tax).

The food was delicious, and it was a great portion! I ordered and ate in. The service was friendly. They made my meal fresh to order, and it came out after just a few minutes! Would highly recommend!“

“2026年 Osechi bento review:
Excellent traditional bento, beautifully prepared with high quality ingredients. 100% worth the price. You can tell a lot of time and effort was spent preparing this bento. I was very very impressed. I will be ordering this every year. どもありがとうございます！“

“The staff and service was impeccable. This is hands down the best sushi restaurant I've ever experienced. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and every dish is visually stunning. The creativity behind the sauces truly sets this place apart, and I even heard the chef makes his own soy sauce—which absolutely shows in the depth of flavor. The Japanese uni was beautifully presented, and the tuna was a deep, rich red that melted in my mouth, finished perfectly with a delicate sprinkle of truffle oil. Every bite felt intentional and expertly crafted. I only wish I lived closer—this would easily be my daily go-to restaurant.“

“Outstanding performers and great food!“

“Mike was on top of his game from start to finish. He didn’t forget about my wife’s birthday! He gave us a nice glass of Champagne each to toast, as well as let us try all of the desserts! He was very attentive to all of our needs and the platinum deal was definitely something that was worth all of the amount of food that we got! Don’t listen to all the other people that said it’s not worth the value because I think that’s complete BS! Ask for Mike Tow be your waiter! The fireworks candle went out and he even brought another one out, especially for my wife so that we could Record the video since we missed it the first time! He was courteous enough to ask if we would like smoke and fire display or to keep it on the DL, Of course, we decided to do all of the smoke & fire display!

He answered all questions with detailed and made it clear about what we were getting as well as gave good recommendations!“

“Stopped by this restaurant for lunch randomly last Friday and I was so impressed!! I got the sushi and nigiri lunch special and my partner got the two traditional rolls and 1 special roll. It was such a great deal and amazing quality. The fish tasted very fresh. The service was also very good. We will definitely start coming here regularly! Loved my experience.“

“Lovely sashimi! Authentic Japanese dishes.“

“We came here on a cold windy night and the shabu shabu hit the spot! The staff were very friendly and helpful as they explained and showed us what to do. We ordered prime rib, pork, and shrimp as the proteins. I had a tonkotsu + tomato broth and my husband had the spicy miso + tonkatsu broth. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. We’ll be returning for sure. I recommend California Shabu Shabu!“

“Took my husband here for his birthday and he loved it! We chose from the a la carte menu and every bite was phenomenal. Service was impeccable, elite fine dining kind of Service. The atmosphere really tied everything together. From the decor and low lighting to the excellent selection of music, we were really blown away. Highly recommend this spoy“

“Kappo was such a great experience. You can tell a lot of care goes into each course. The wagyu was incredible, and the pacing of the meal made it easy to just relax and enjoy it. It’s an intimate space, but doesn’t feel too loud or crowded. Definitely a spot I’d go back to for a special night out.“

“This feels exactly what I want a sushi place to feel like. It is clean with a nice modern feel and the service is professional but kind. The food came out fast and all of the sushi was delicious, my favorite being the maguro nigiri. I do wish the rice to fish ratio was a bit higher, but I will happily come back despite that minor difference in opinion.“

“Cute little Japanese spot in Georgetown, it is quite original, serving Japanese home style cooking. The wine selection was amazing; we did the wine pairing and the combination of flavors was incredible. Each course and wine was preceded by a very interesting exposition from the Chef and the Sommelier. Will have to come back to try the sushi menu on weekdays!“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“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!!“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

“I was a bit disappointed with how the kamameshi was prepared. I ordered the pork kamameshi expecting it to be smoked or braised with soy sauce, but instead it came with a very plain layer of ground pork over the rice. That said, the sashimi was spot on.“

“just want to tell you...the best in DMV 5☆“

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

“Had a Great time celebrating a friend’s birthday! Food is amazing, sushi is fresh! Good atmosphere! Owners are Super cool and really knows how to make their guests feel special. Kudos to the entire staff for the Great service. Highly recommend!“

“This place is awesome. Never disappointed when we go there. Their food is delicious.“

“I happily got my sushi fix here. The Dynamite Crunch roll was great! The eel avocado roll was good, but after splurging on the Dynamite, it seemed plain in comparison.
Very nice couple working there and quiet classical music playing in the background was good.“

“A small sushi & Reman shop, clean and fresh, only one person cook and serve. I tried the poke with tuna, Not only I tasted the freshness and abundance nutrition to the body but also was touched by the sincerity and dedication to the food from the owner! He must made tremendous efforts to prepare such healthy food with fresh ingredients at very affordable price! In such a profit driven business environment, it is so precious to have such a germ shop to make you feel happy and surprise in life! Thanks for the great food! Appreciated and Strong recommendation!

One thing I’d like to point out is that the ordering machine does not provide picture nor the detail ingredients of the dishes (I understand that it is only one man in charge of everything it would be great to have the ingredients shows in the ordering menu) but you can easily refer to the menu from google map it provides clear information.“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“So happy to have found this place. Will definitely return! Excellent food and price! Friendly staff! Thank you 😊

Updating my review ::: we have returned several times and greeted with a friendly welcome, and enjoyed delicious freshly made food! Pro tip::: after your meal check out paradise ice cream for dessert 5 minutes away!“

“Been here twice and the food was fantastic each time!“

“We had an amazing dining experience with our server Sathitphorn, service was amazing and the ambience was nice, more of a hole in the wall gem restaurant and we will be back to try more of the menu! The Kiku Sake was delish and so was the wagyu steak.“

“tengo 15 años de venir aqui sin dudarlo se lo recomiendo la mejor comida“

“This is my favorite sushi place! I always recommend it to all my friends! It's a great Hidden Gem! The quality is always fantastic and so is the amount of fish you get! Lunch special is very solid. I try to come two times a week! Best quality in the area“

“This is my first time at sushi oishi ayce and it really exceeded my expectations. This place was suggested by a friend and I finally came here. The wait was a bit long due to it being busy but I got seated within 10 minutes. The service was pretty good but the sashimi came 25 minutes after I ordered it. The food overall pretty good and the sushi rolls arrived within 5 minutes of ordering them. The staff were also pretty attentive.“

“Oh my gosh!! Seriously SO GOOD! I came on a Friday lunch and the food was tasty, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The Japanese skewers were mouthwatering and the sushi is of course incredible. The miso soup even tasted fresh and well prepared. The ambiance is amazing. The staff wonderful and kind. 100/10 experience for my first time here. Thank you!“

“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.“

“Fresh and interesting sushi items. Extensive menu. Good service. I like what I’m eating :)“

“My girlfriend and I went for her birthday and they already had a card prepared for her when we got there because I selected birthday under the event tab in our reservation. We both decided it was the best place either of us had been. I do not write reviews for restaurants but this one deserves it. All of the food was delicious and we couldn't have asked for better customer service. We can't wait to go back.“

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

“Lunch: Order from a kiosk and they will give it to go, or you can go upstairs to their seating area.

The hand rolls were excellent. The bowl, very good. The only knock here is they are understaffed. They had a major line but only two people working? The order took 30+ minutes and there were only four groups ahead. Can't imaging the wait for when the line really hit. Just an FYI, you'll likely need patience at prime time lunch.“

“The food is delicious, and the staff is incredibly attentive and sweet. The owner is so welcoming and clearly takes great pride in creating a wonderful experience for everyone. We came in during the storm and were met with so much warmth. All the props to the staff for working through that time, thank you!“

“We had the most wonderful dinner tonight celebrating a birthday. Quan Tran was amazing! The food was so good and he was so fun!“

“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!“

“I love coming, the staff is very kind and friendly. I have been to other restaurants that serve seafood and in my opinion this is the place to go. I always come for the turbulence and supreme tuna are my favorite. The Philly and bagel roll are both great options as well!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“A favorite neighborhood spot“

“We discovered this place while shopping at safeway and tried their pork tonkatsu. It was fresh and quick so we decided to try their ramen. It was really flavorful. The stir fry soba was also delicious. Need to say, I will be back with my friends.“

“Very Nice atmosphere customer service was great and the food was superb“

“i had the best experience here, its my second time & this time i dined in rather than the bar. i had the best and sweetest experience with my server, Ina. She gave the best service and had the best personality. 10/10!!!!“

“Great food and excellent service.“

“I've tried all the sushi restaurants in Vienna, and Sushi Yama is hands down the best. The fish is always fresh, the service is friendly and efficient, and the quality is consistently excellent. They have a great variety on the menu, and everything is prepared with care. My go-to spot—highly recommend!“
