37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Great Falls

“I’ve eaten at Izumi many times; the sushi is reliably good … 4 stars for the sushi. Unfortunately the Chinese is reliably awful. We’ve tried it several times and it’s just not worth risking again … I wish it wasn’t so, but zero stars for the Chinese.“

“Perfect Spot for Friends & Family!

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, inviting, and super fun — perfect for both family gatherings and catching up with friends. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu and making sure we had everything we needed.

The shabu shabu was top-notch — fresh ingredients, high-quality meats, and rich, flavorful broths. They had a great selection of veggies, sauces, and dipping options that let everyone at the table customize their meal just the way they liked it. We especially loved the wagyu and the spicy miso broth — so good!

The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and had a great energy without being too loud. Plenty of space for groups, and the table setup made it really easy to enjoy the cooking experience together.

We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy, interactive dining experience that brings people together!“

“As always, fantastic sushi and other options. Very pricey for your typical sushi place but that's because this place is definitely not typical. Top notch options. The Butter Scallop on sushi is just OUTSTANDING. Staff is also super nice.“

“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.“

“Found this Sushi restaurant in Herndon and it did not disappoint! We ordered a few special rolls and the Caterpillar was delicious. Other rolls were good too. We also had a Ramen noodle bowl which was plentiful and fresh tasting. All in all, would recommend and would visit again!“

“very good sushi! taste of umi!!“

“Born and raised in Japan, I am pretty judgmental when it comes to any establishments claiming to be “Japanese.”

I had miso soup ($4), Toro Bowl ($28) and hot tea ($3).

Toro Bowl: I was not impressed, but definitely this dish was not disgusting like some other fake Japanese restaurants serve. Ikura wasn’t the freshest, and the three sheets of nori (sea weeds) were stale (thus making it chewy rather than crispy) and tasted very cheep. Overall it was “Okay”

Miso soup: I was pleasantly surprised with how they have used decent amount of dashi in their soup (like how they do it in Japan), giving it an authentic twist. The soup was flavorful and I enjoyed it.

Tea: this was another pleasant surprise to receive what it mocked as Genmai-cha (tea with roasted rice bits in it). Well done.

From what you get in DMV area, I’d give a 4 stars or even 4.5 stars. As an overall “Japanese” izakaya, I’d put this in 3 stars range.“

“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.“

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

“My wife and I googled Osaka Ramen & Sushi restaurant and dined in here this past Tuesday night. She was a bit reluctant to eat here at first due to the basic decor and the fact that no one else was dining in. However, once we tasted the food and experienced the friendly and prompt service, we were overjoyed! We shared the Shumai for an appetizer, which was lightly fried with a delicious sauce. Next, I ordered the Miso Ramen which had lots of yellow noodles with vegetables and tofu. My wife ordered the Teriyaki Salmon which came with a salad, Miso Soup, six Sushi pieces. All the items were delicious. We also drank Saki. The server explained that the restaurant had just received their alcohol license weeks ago. To top off the meal, the server gave us each a sesame ball for dessert on the house. We ordered the Japanese egg rolls to go. The bill was only $64! As a new restaurant, we hope Osaka Ramen & Sushi thrives because the quality of food and the value are among the best we have tried in quite a while. We recommend this restaurant with 5 stars!“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

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

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“I have eaten here dozens of times including my birthday this year. The food and service have consistently been incredible! My family loves the atmosphere and friendly staff, and even my kiddos ask to stop by for shrimp pops. Definitely recommend Ariake!“

“Excellent presentation in hibachi food tossing around and amazing our sights and senses!“

“Awesome food, great specials menu (check it out as you walk through the door!) very friendly staff. Great location overall!“

“New Sushi/Ramen restaurant that my wife and I have been to at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks. The food and service is incredible and the prices are very reasonable. We love the fried tuna, avocado, and cream cheese roll, shoyu ramen, and their bento boxes. Everything we try tastes so fresh and flavorful! Can’t wait to keep sampling more of their menu.“

“The sushi is amazing-as well as the appetizers. Service is perfect and the restaurant is gorgeous!! A must when visiting VA Beach!!“

“Great sushi, friendly staff, and pretty ambiance. Definitely recommend!“

“Second time here. First visit was hibachi for my son's birthday a couple of years ago, and this time we ate up front at the tables. Both times we enjoyed our meals, and everything seemed fresh. You can order off the hibachi menu when you sit up front, which was nice. The two sushi rolls we ordered were very good.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The nigiri is the highlight here. Delicious sushi, good vibes, and excellent service. I think a better omakase experience could take this spot to the next level

Thanks for being great!

UPDATE: I’m moving in a week and wanted to try this wonderful spot again. Love it!! 🙏 🍣“

“yummmmmm bento box did not disappoint“

“Great food. amazing service“

“Excellent food and service!“

“I rarely go out to restaurants anymore, partly because of my gluten and dairy intolerance, and partly because I am tired of so many artificial ingredients or too much sugar in food. Tonight was my first visit and I was really blown away. I ordered a Bronzino dish on the specials menu and it was served on some kind of crispy rice. It was so delicious and clean and fresh. The skin was perfectly cooked so I ate it as well. The rice and the special sauce that was dabbled on the side was not too sweet. The Genmaicha (sp?) tea was perfect. And I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the price given restaurant prices these days for food of this quality. The atmosphere was lovely and the utensils were particularly impressive. Son loved the lobster mac & cheese, as well as the Matcha tea and white chocolate mousse. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I’ve found a new favorite Japanese restaurant! Real Japanese food made with actual Japanese ingredients, not the same as the stuff you find in mall food courts or at that [FAST]way chain joint. I ordered the Chicken and Steak Hibachi and the Chicken Yakisoba, and they were both delicious! Portions aren’t generous though, but healthy; you won’t feel overstuffed after eating.“

“The service is super quick, and the food is well worth the prices. I love the fluffiness of their onigiri--it's a simple snack, but one that keeps me coming back! The food is flavorful and has a really fun presentation for dining in. Lovely plates and bowls and pretty cool chopsticks. 1.6 starsThe atmosphere for dine-in eating is nice too. It's in a Lotte supermarket as part of the "epiQ Food Hall". Somehow though, the space has a vibe entirely of its own, separate from the hustle and bustle of noisy shoppers. You can definitely have a comfortable meal dining in with your friends, or a nice one-on-one lunch with your partner. 1.6 stars.If I had to detract full points from a 5 star review, it would be on price. The prices are not bad for what you get, but they could stand to be a dollar or two cheaper on some of the larger meals. I think that would really round this place out as a 5 star spot for quick Japanese food that doesn't skimp on portions, but also brings a quality meal to the table.Overall, I'd say 4.8 stars.“

“Great place for a casual dinner, the all you can eat option is awesome if you are hungry but don’t expect amazing quality from all you can eat. Good alternative option for people who don’t like sushi as well. I would say overall for the price you can get a better meal at a regular Asian cuisine restaurant.“

“非常快樂的生日聚餐。食物非常新鮮。蟹腳非常好吃 😋謝謝Jack請客“

“Bento House is one of our favorite fast casual neighborhood restaurants. Tasty food, easy parking, and great service every time we visit. Luis took great care of us tonight! We’ve frequented both the Reston and Chantilly locations for years.“

“I gave this restaurant a solid four stars across the board. The food was OK, but not amazing. The service was fine. The atmosphere was acceptable. I ordered takeout and was disappointed to find that soy sauce was not included. Overall, I give this place a meh.“

“This my first time being there and eating at a sushi buffet. Excellent food quality and Perfect customer service. Employees really care for their customers.“

“Excellent sushi restaurant! We were in Vienna and craving sushi and found this gem. We were seated right away, greeted with a smile and had a lovely evening. We started off with the edamame and miso soup and salad. We were BLOWN away with how good everything was right off the bat! The house salad had a onion sauce on the top that was so good! Best house salad I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Then we both had rolls that were amazing! Joanne was our waitress and she was so kind and efficient. She even provided us with recommendations and a great description of some of the dishes I asked about. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vienna! Thank you so much!“

“Yummy 😋 it’s my favorite restaurant 😋😍“

“I haven’t been there in a while and decided to take a lunch to go. When I arrived, I saw a sign at the door saying it opens at 11, and it was still only 10. They told me I can place my order. Everyone was so nice and polite. I was their first employee, and their smile really made my day. Plus the food was hot, fresh, a large portion and very affordable. I will definitely go more often.“
