50 Best Sushi Bars near Falls Church

“Terrific quality, some unusual and tasty preparations I've not seen elsewhere. Some of the best I've had in the entire area.

Intimate and peaceful space, a place at which I'd like to be a regular. We sat at the sushi bar and ordered individual pieces, leaning toward specials on the blackboard and what the chef suggested (e.g., Japanese Red Snapper, Hamachi belly). The stars of the evening, IMHO were the house-smoked mackeral (the smoke went really well), seared scallop (wonderfully delicate texture of the fish, a creative slicing/presentation technique, and a new dimension to the flavor from the sear), and the seared Oh Toro (fatty tuna, scored and seared giving it an absurdly meaty taste -- and very different from the unseared Oh Toro we had to compare).

Definitely looking forward to going back.

Update 8 years later, 2024: Still outstanding, and the "Calamari Pasta" blew me away: cooked tentacles topped with a quail yolk, with uni underneath and -- surprise! -- a truffle. I can't recommend this dish enough.“

“This is definitely a must-go place, and is definitely the best sushi place I've been to: fresh and beautifully prepared, a treat to both the stomach and the eyes. I have been a frequent customer for over six years, and highly recommend it.“

“Love the place. Amazing atmosphere and fun place to hang out.“

“yummmmmm bento box did not disappoint“

“Qunyh is the best! So helpful and kind, all her recommendations were absolutely fantastic. Her service was quick and the food wonderful. And with celiacs disease very knowledgeable of the menu

“Went there to celebrate my birthday. Sushi was very fresh and perfectly prepared. The slices were excellent, which made the fish delicate, tender and without too much dark pieces which have more fishy taste, no tendons/skin/muscle to make it difficult to chew. It was a delightful experience! The amount of different fish/seafood species was surprising. A special place to go to celebrate, if you love sushi. We paired it with a nice bottle of Italian Sparkling, which was an excellent recommendation by our server.“

“The sushi here was absolutely amazing, I went around night and ordered chefs island and everything was prepared so well and tasted so fresh and well, Scarlett was our server and she did such an amazing job even with the rush, the interior was so clean and decorated with so much details and I can definitely tell they put a lot of effort into the service, environment, and especially the food and its quality, I will definitely be coming back soon.“

“Went for dinner at opening time and there was no wait and restaurant was basically empty which I like. Immediately greeted and sat and provided menus. The service was outstanding, maybe due to how busy the establishment was at the time, but nonetheless outstanding!! Our waitress was very kind, attentive, and pleasant. The food was all soooooo good. Started with the soft shell crab which when delivered to the table had a small flame in the middle;great presentation!!! The fish was very fresh , and you could see the chefs making all the sushi to order which is great. Toll sizes were normal size about 8 pieces and all were delivered at once which I like. The restaurant is a little smaller with about 15 ish tables so I'm sure it can fill up quickly when busy. Desert was also great ❤️. Loved the presentation again as the flatware was very cute as you can see in the photos. Best sushi I have had in Virginia so far ❤️❤️❤️. Prices were reasonable for the amount of shushi and sake that we ordered and would def go back. Must try

Parking: Underground parking garage that is used for the Harris teeter as well. Lots of parking which is great“

“If you live in Rosslyn, or anywhere remotely close by, I cannot overstate how much you need to put in an order at Cafe Sushi Garden as soon as you can! Gigantic portions, fresh cuts of fish, beautiful craftsmanship in every roll, generous prices across the menu -- search no further, this place is what you've been looking for (you know it's good when I had my first bite and immediately set a reminder for myself to write a review).

The platter for two was perfect for a movie night in. Don't sleep on their huge hand rolls either! Plus, the staff are incredibly kind and thoughtful, and there's plenty of seating inside if you want to kick your feet up with a hot bowl of miso soup. Do yourself a favor and check out Cafe Sushi Garden today!“

“A little slice of Japan. Since leaving a few years ago I have been missing Japan. This place took me right back. Sushi, ramen takoyaki, everything was perfect and delicious. Kids chopsticks so my littles can practice. We will go back.

Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for my children who were reasonably well-behaved as they were very excited for this special treat.“

“I love this place! Highly recommend to try. It’s our go to spot! but this time was kind of disappointing. Lava wasn’t taste as good as before, the topping that usually comes a little warm was cold. It just doesn’t seem to made in a right way. Also it seems like Ovi ran out of cilantro….🙂‍↕️ We definitely going back tho!“

“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!“

“A beautiful restaurant boasting an amazing and attentive staff, Sushiko provides an excellent culinary experience with high quality sushi especially of note the fresh wasabi which I highly recommend to those with a proper taste for it as it elevates each and every dish. The Hamachi crudo while a small dish, was so flavorful and well put together I had to order it a second time. The grapefruit added acidic components to the dish while also attributing to the texture while the ponzu sauce provided A wonderful savory palette.“

“Outstanding self-service restaurant that offers all kinds of sushi rolls and a variety of Japanese and Korean foods. I highly recommend the tempura roll and bibimbap. For every order over $10, you get a free cup of miso soup.

The owners are extremely friendly.“

“Absolutely so delicious! The best quality sushi we've found in the area, and the ownere is so friendly!“

“The food was delicious, the owner and staff were very kind especially with our 13 month old who about 45 minutes in was getting very stubborn and wanted to walk around.

I would highly recommend the laksa, which was my favorite dish out of the 5 we ordered. The lamb satay came second. Ask for some extra sambal, it wasn’t too sweet but the perfect amount of spice!!“

“Have dined and ate alone and with colleges at Momo. Always fresh sushi and great service. On my rotation in Old Town Alexandria. Love it!“

“It's good. Go there...“

“sushi is always fresh and service is excellent. Kana is our go to for sushi.“

“Love this place immensely. Service was top notch and food is SO GOOD. I got the spicy salmon roll and the Ninja Turtle specialty roll and neither disappointed. Probably the best spicy salmon roll i’ve had, ever. Period hands down, no competition. Ambiance is great-standard sushi bar spot.
Will 1000% be back! I’m currently typing this as I finish my food. It’s that good—I couldn’t wait!“

“I love this place!! The sushi is the most affordable you’ll get in the area, and the woman who works there is super warm and friendly and always makes me feel welcome. The sushi is also really yummy, if you’re looking for good fresh sushi in Georgetown come here!“

“One of my favorite sushi spots for lunch when the mood strikes. The location is unassuming and if you aren't looking for it you will walk right by. Not the cheapest option but the quality of the fish speaks for itself. As far as sushi, I can only speak to the nigiri and sashimi but the various types I have had all have been fresh with good texture. The beef udon bowl was light and a great soup without being heavy. This place is only open for lunch so if you can swing it, it's worth a try.“

“Dinner tasted fresh and consisted of generous portions, and service was fast and friendly. It was nice to go to a Asia Bistro restaurant. Will be going back often. Had the chicken and Premium steamed young soy beans sprinkled with salt, hot and fresh sushi and Fresh Strawberry Lemonade. Couldn't have been better.“

“Incredible fresh, tasty, huge poke bowl with awesome flavor blends!!! I highly recommend this place!! They’re awesome!! Treat yourself & check them out!!“

“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!“

“Our favorite sushi place in Virginia, hands down! Loyal patrons for 4 years, and never disappointed.

Our server this evening, Quynh My, was fantastic! She had great recommendations for things we had not tried, and everything came out quick yet we did feel rushed. Great spot if you are looking for one
In NoVA!“

“We were looking for lunch after microcenter and this place is right next door. The concept is interesting and the food was plentiful. I thought I couldn't eat it all but I did. It was all so good. And the decor is beautiful, we got some great photos of our lunch. Great date spot. For a celebration. Or just to stop in. And I know it sounds weird but, try the water!“

“Very good service. Nice people. Good izakaya food. Very reasonable price. Great space.“

“We went for the summer restaurant week. You get a cold and a hot appetizer, assortment of sushi and a dessert. We opted for the soft shell crab and shabu shabu ramen, both were delicious and served hot out of the kitchen. Sushi is top quality and decadent of course. Hojicha pudding is uniquely toasty and silky.

Not all RW deals are worth going, but I’d recommend the selection at sushi taro for the quality and the value of the food.“

“Sushi is always fresh and tasty. Don’t skip the non-fish items, which are also delicious. I haven’t gone into DC for sushi since I discovered Ikko a few years ago.“

“Great sushi, have been going to fortune house for the last 8 years!“

“Beatiful place! Sushi is tasty and fresh.“

“My first visit was last week....the bento box was very good and the service was wonderful!“

“This popular restaurant was quite busy when we went. The menu, same as the other Plantas, offered a lot. We had the Queso Fundido, which was great, but oily. The Tres Leches dessert was exceptionally good. The only drawback to the restaurant was that it was extremely noisy, This may have to do with when we went, late on a weekend.“

“great food! I have been coming here for almost 20 years now.“

“Super friendly and attentive staff, excellent tasting food and nice, family feel in the restaurant! There are many options for sushi, and for grilled food, their special rolls are a highlight!! Highly recommend Sakura and will definitely return. 5 stars !!!“

“I absolutely loved this whole experience! The decor and service is awesome. But the food here takes it to the next level. My favorite place to eat at is 54 restaurant!!!“

“I chose Akeno Sushi to celebrate my bachelorette weekend, and I couldn’t have made a better choice! It’s my absolute favorite restaurant in DC, and this experience just confirmed why it’s one of my top spots. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly warm, accommodating, and genuinely thrilled to help us celebrate. Nadia, in particular, was a joy to work with and supported me every step of the way in planning. The food was phenomenal, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, featuring thoughtful details like fresh flowers that added a special touch to the celebration. The ambiance was perfect, with lovely decorations that made the night feel even more festive. Whether you’re planning a special event, a casual dinner, or a date night, Akeno Sushi is versatile, delicious, and always delivers a memorable experience. I highly recommend it!“

“This is literally the best Japanese restaurant. They have the best shrimp shuma. The service and atmosphere is awesome too! Little pricey but totally worth every penny. Awesome place in DC if you're looking for some authentic Japanese food! 💖“

“The best sushi (to go) I’ve ever eaten...and I’ve eaten a lot of sushi 😅“

“Salmon with citrus roe. I’m a fan. The shopping center left me questioning the idea of buying sushi from a 7-11. This though is a separate business. I took it to Clara Barton’s house in case it wasn’t good and I needed a nurse, but it turns out not only is she not here right now, but the sushi was excellent.“

“I had a fantastic experience at SHŌTŌ Washington DC. The atmosphere was vibrant, with great music that added to the upscale yet inviting ambiance. The food was exceptional… beautifully presented and packed with flavor. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Definitely a place worth visiting for a great night out!“

“We love Beijing Tokyo for both dine-in and delivery. The food is always fresh, tastes great, and service is quick and friendly. My 5 y/o loves the Wonton Soup and Fried Rice, and I love the Chef's Special Creamy Shrimp and Beef Sticks. I've never had anything bad here in the two year's we've been eating here or ordering delivery. The food is always hot and the delivery drivers are always very friendly.

Parking: It's in a shopping center, so there's plenty of free parking.

Kid-friendliness: I bring my kids here and they are always welcome. There are always family dining in here and the staff is friendly towards children.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant seems to be wheelchair friendly.“

“You can’t go wrong at Raku, their food is fantastic, well cooked and fresh!“

“Chose this spot because it was a short walk from our hotel, and WOW! What a find! An excellent selection, delicious food, and wonderful service! Best Miso soup I've ever had. If I'm ever back in Arlington, this is a must stop spot!“

“We were pleased to find this restaurant: It is a bit out of our way, and due to road construction, we had to do some doubling back. I recall that the sashimi was fresh and the portions generous, but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor, perhaps because it was not served with a side of rice. I would return and try it again. Pictured are the sushi chefs, a wall inside, a sushi clock, and the outside of the restaurant.

Parking: There were several parking places in front and we had no trouble finding a spot.“

“Randomly found out about this place after having dinner with a friend at the sushi restaurant upstairs. It looked like a cute modernly decorated bar once we entered and it was. The music was GREAT, the bartenders were lovely and super attentive! The drinks had delicious interesting flavors and definitely gave you that kick you’re looking for after midnight. We got to sit at the bar to enjoy your cocktails.“

“Doki Doki Sushi at The Heights Foodhall in Bethesda delivers an outstanding sushi experience with its diverse menu of fresh, high-quality dishes. Co-founded by James Beard-nominated chef Kevin Tien, the restaurant is known for its meticulously crafted maki rolls, crudo, and sashimi. The casual yet refined setting, combined with attentive service and convenient QR code ordering, makes it a top choice for sushi lovers.“

“This is an underrated restaurant, and I'm surprised it's not always packed! The seafood is incredibly fresh, with tender and succulent texture, and both the cooking methods and seasoning are spot on. Every dish is delicious, highly recommended!“

“Nice vibe and great sushi!“
