50 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.“

“Psst! Despite the name, the hidden 💎 on the menu is Bun Dau Mam Tom. It's the best in DMV because of the super yummy dipping sauce (I would drink it if not for high blood pressure 😀) and everything on the tray arrive hot, crunchy, and steamy 😋“

“Franz was a great server! He was quick, friendly and gave awesome recommendations. Sitting at the sushi bar was the highlight of our experience! We had great conversations with the chefs and manager. We even were given a few samples to try - delicious! 10/10 experience, we can’t wait to come back!“

“This Japanese restaurant is truly one of my favorites! The food is always incredibly fresh — from the sushi to the salads and soups, everything tastes perfect every time. The hospitality and service are top-notch; the staff are always welcoming, and the manager is extremely nice and friendly.

I go there at least twice a week, and every single visit feels special. I’ve never had just an “okay” experience — it’s always amazing! Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious, fresh Japanese food and great service.“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

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

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

“Excellent service from Jordan, he was so kind and cheerful and made our experience fantastic! Salmon teriyaki was very fresh, lunch deals were good and the ramen was splendid as well. Will be back soon- glad there’s a new sushi place here, it’s what we needed!!“

“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.“

“I was a little skeptical that my friend wanted to hit the ramen spot out in the country like this, but the food really delivered. The Tonkatsu was spicier than I anticipated, and the boba was on point. Also I had a 1 year old with me, and the ladies were super helpful making her comfortable.“

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“One of the best Sushi places in Vienna VA.
Unforgettable experience,Sherry beautiful server was very nice and polite,gave me good suggestions about food,I got some complimentary gift from house.
Deeply recommend this place to everyone 🥰❤️“

“We had a wonderful experience here last night for our anniversary :) the tuna flight was a standout. We let them know it was a special occasion and the server treated us with great care, which did not go unnoticed. Between the quality of fish and quality of service, we'll definitely be back!“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Tonight's dinner was an excellent experience all around from the reservation through dessert. I especially want to praise Chef "Taco Bell" whose knife skills and humor are the best I've seen. He made each one of us in a party aged 9-75 feel welcome and special.“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“yummmmmm bento box did not disappoint“

“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.“

“Best ramen spot ever! My husband and I live in Pittsburgh but we make sure we visit this place every time we’re in Virginia. The owner and staff are all so kind! The owner is very knowledgeable and always recommends things from the menu based on what we like. We love chicken and wagyu beef ramen, as well as their chicken katsu and onigiri. Definitely recommend others to visit! I wish we had this place back in Pitt“

“Great food. amazing service“

“I'd been craving takoyaki for days, and suddenly decided to drive over late at night. Surprisingly, even though it was close to closing time, they still served me. The waitress, Emily, recommended some dishes, and we ordered them right away. She wasn't just beautiful and kind-hearted, she was practically a buddy! Apparently, she's only there on Fridays and weekends. There were only her and one other guy working at the front; everyone else was chatting. Everything was great, and she even recommended two drinks – such good value! She was so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip, and I'll definitely come back!“

“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!“

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

“Very good little bowls! There's lots of options to choose from, and it looks pretty. The amount of fish in the Sake Don is pretty good for what you pay. Note that this place is inside a food court; if you're not digging the shared table scene, consider ordering to go.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“The nigiri was wonderful! I really loved the aburi sushi. It was my first time trying it and they had lots of options. Punches way above its weight in terms of quality for price. Modest storefront with an inviting ambience when you get inside. Will definitely be back.“

“Amazing Sushi and Sashimi - Definitely a Must to Sooo... Fresh and Delicious. We will definitely be Back for more...“

“UNBELIEVABLE FIND! Absolutely the best sushi! Fresh and delicious! The salmon melted in my mouth! The teriyaki plates were amazing. The staff is so nice and sweet. My wife and I had an incredible experience. We travel an hour each way just to eat here!“

“Great little sushi spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Red Devil and Volcano rolls were fantastic, full of flavor and beautifully made. Service was attentive, though the restaurant is quite small, so it can feel a bit crowded during peak hours. Still, a solid choice for quality Japanese food in the area!“

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

“It was my first time visiting Revolving sushi bar in VA. I’m a really-really sushi person, so This is the places I researched a lot on Google app(Kura had good reviews)!!
We didn't really like the seating space but Sushi quality was good for the price, delicious and good service.
We had 24 plates of sushi and draft beer. (Beer was good too!)
I’m going to try the RAMEN next time!“

“My server, Ellison was beyond friendly, making me feel welcomed as a guest!

Now the sushi... WOW! Every bite was fresh, beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The presentation was like a piece of art. My favorite sushi was the JPOP. 10/10 would come back again.“

“My long time, absolute favorite sushi restaurant in NOVA! Outstanding friendly staff, personal service, excellent and authentic food! I’ve been a loyal customer of this lovely place since they opened 19 years ago! Thank you for a terrific experience!!“

“Just a fun dining experience—great sushi!“

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

“I ordered, to go, very often. Personally, I only order chicken. And I love it. Always fresh and juicy. Beef, on the other hand I tried once, and never will order again. Too dry. Shrimp hibachi doesn't have enough shrimp, even if you double it..

I will be coming back, but only for chicken hibachi....“

“Special Maki Roll: Green Dragon Maki ✅🔥 👌

Gyoza 🥟🤌 The best I've ever had. The dough wrapper so delicate it practically melted in my mouth.

Miso soup ✅ A classic, hard to mess up, but I really liked that it had many tofu & seaweed pieces.

The atmosphere is great, you can watch the Chef's prepare your rolls fresh behind the bar. The service was phenomenal and the prices very reasonable. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.“

“You get a lot of food for the value and it's decent. I wouldn't say it's the best but it'll do.
The sauce is very good.

BUT - the atmosphere is horrendous. It feels like a hospital service hallway in there. All the light bulbs are cool white with no shrouds, there's no music, and the booths don't have padding. I don't know how the workers stay sane. I can't stand sitting in the place long enough to get takeout.“
