The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it truly makes the whole experience even better. If you’re someone who loves good sushi or wants to try it for the first time, Kumo Sushi is definitely worth a visit. Truly an experience you’ll enjoy!“

“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!“

“Ingredients were fresh. Sashimi was very fresh. Mafia sushi roll was the best. Spicy tuna and osaka was yummy. Dragon was alright. Wish the sushi rolls were thinner and a little more well made. The special chefs bonus at the end was yummy! Will definitely be back tho.“

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

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

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

“Fresh, delicious sushi, amazing service and vibe check on point!
We got the best, most epic sushi boat I've ever seen in my life. The fatty tuna and the salmon belly sashimi is probably the best sushi I've ever had. The wagyu was also super delicious and we love how it's served on a banana leaf. We can't wait to try their other dishes like Udon and Wagyu Sukiyak“

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

“Sooooo GOOD! Great presentation and they had so many different selections of sashimi and sushi as well as rolls. thank you very much!“

“While traveling, I stopped by KAZONE for a meal with friends. The atmosphere was classy and the staff were friendly, which was nice.
For the meal, I ordered pork cutlet, mixed buckwheat, and takoyaki, and I also ordered tteokbokki as a side menu. Everyone in my group enjoyed it and were satisfied. The pork cutlet was so meaty on the outside that it melted in your mouth. In particular, the tteokbokki was much more delicious than the tteokbokki I had eaten before. There was
I felt really good because I felt like I found a good restaurant during my trip. I would like to recommend kazone to those looking for a good restaurant.“

“sushi is on point!! love the staff!! great vibe!!“

“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!! 🙏 🍣“

“Great food. amazing service“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience! The kimchi was a standout—my friend ranked it in her top 5 of all time. The staff were incredibly sweet and even brought her an extra serving. We tried a variety of sushi, and every piece was fresh and flavorful. The squid legs were especially impressive, perfectly cooked and tender, not chewy at all. Each meal also came with a small peanut salad and a comforting bowl of miso soup, which was a nice touch. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Before trying this place, I must admit I was somewhat skeptical. However, upon trying their food, it greatly surpassed my expectations!
The restaurant is pleasant, clean, and simple, yet the flavors are tasteful! It has become my go-to place for Japanese rice bowls! Their tempura is truly exceptional!!“

“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“

“Sushi Prince has the best sushi in all of Fairfax. The fish and ingredients are always so fresh and delicious. It is the perfect spot for a date night.“

“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.“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but this stop honestly meant more than I expected. I’ve been searching for good uni for months…just hoping for one decent bite, something to remind me that life still has little joys. I thought I was ordering California uni (the price made me do a double take), but when it came out, it was actually from Japan. Real Japan uni. And it was everything I’d been craving.

The sushi bar itself was quiet, kind, and welcoming. They didn’t know it, but I’ve been going through a lot lately…and for just a few minutes, sitting there and soaking in that perfect flavor before running off to the next 500 things on my plate, I finally felt like I could breathe.

I’ll absolutely be back. That moment mattered. Thank you!“

“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 😋😍“

“Outstanding sushi, salad, soup and tempura. Great and attentive service. Akira Sushi hits the ball out of the park.“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“Where do I even start? After seeing so much hype for Sushi Ohayo on TikTok, I decided to visit after the buzz died down a bit. Let me just say, I'm so upset I didn't come sooner. This place offers all-you-can-eat sushi for $31.99 per adult, and it was worth every penny.

I stuck with the classics: spicy salmon roll, spicy California roll, New York roll, fried dumplings, and steak hibachi. Everything was an absolute 10/10. But what really STOLE the show were the volcano roll and the Ohayo roll--both are a MUST-TRY. The volcano roll was hot and delicious, and the Ohayo roll had the perfect crunchy tempura texture.

I can't even put into words how amazing this place is--you just have to try it yourself. The service was fantastic too--our server was very attentive, constantly checking to make sure we had sushi in front of us at all times.

Definitely coming back. It's a 45-minute drive from where I live, but it's 100% worth it!“

“Come here every year for my birthday. The service is always great and fast. It’s dinner and a show. Jesus has cooked for us many times and he always recognizes my family and I. The chicken and steak teriyaki hibachi are my favorites. I love when they do the food toss at you to catch the shrimp in your mouth. The veggies always taste fresh and the food overall is amazing. If you tell them about a birthday they will come out with a big drum thing and sing for you- it’s hilarious. Overall a great place with amazing food!“

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

“Best authentic Japanese cuisine in our area😋“

“As a Mongolian Asian, omg!! This was one of the best Japanese themed restaurants ever! Although the people who work there may be Korean, but their food actually tastes authentic!! I was greeted by friendly employee upon entrance and seated immediately. It was a lunch time, about 2-3 tables were busy. I ordered the Ramen and some rolls. Omg the Ramen was very similar to the ramen i ate in Japan!! The noodles were not packaged ramen noodles from store. It was the actual Japanese ramen noodle. The broth the rolls were perfect. Hospitality was amazing! Definitely coming back!! What a great first time experience!!“

“Sarku has been around for several years at this location. It’s convenient when shopping at this shopping center or if you’re out and about and are looking for a good meal.

Kudos! Something to mention is the food comes out temperature hot, like I like it! It makes all the difference.

I got the Shrimp/Chicken with white rice and spring rolls. Loved all of it. We’ve been here on several occasions and the food is always good. Thank you!

The staff was friendly and helpful when ordering. You order at the register and then your food is brought to the counter for you to pick it up. There isn’t a wait staff.

There are two entrances to Sarku. I didn’t get photos of the other entrance, but will take photos the next time.

They do play music from a radio station or satellite radio, but it wasn’t too loud for me and I liked the genre they played.“

“Really good place and great food“

“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“This is a fast food alternative that we found very satisfying. There are not a lot of choices, but they are what they say they are: teriyaki and sushi. We liked everything we got. The Combo seems to be the best buy in the long run, but everything was fresh and tasty. We will be back now that we have found this alternative.“

“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.“

“I’ve been to this place almost 100 times and it’s always going to be my favorite sushi place. The prices are so customer friendly and student friendly for the high quality and fresh sushi you get at Yoko, and it’s made right in front of you. The customer service is awesome. Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“A Hit with Ramen and Sushi Lovers!
I recently took my son and his friends, all big fans of ramen and sushi, to Okada Ramen and Sushi at One Loudoun, and it was a fantastic decision! We were definitely not disappointed.
The ramen bowls are generously sized, and the fact that these hungry teenagers devoured every last drop speaks volumes about how delicious it was. They also enjoyed the gyoza and, of course, the sushi, which was a big hit all around.
One thing to note is that while I couldn't find their sushi menu online initially, they provided it right away when we asked. It turns out they do have a link for an online sushi menu, which I'll be sure to check out before our next visit to plan ahead.
I found their prices to be bit more as compared to other ramen and sushi spots in the area. Our waiter let us know about a great deal: on Mondays, ramen bowls are just $14 or $15, a nice discount from the usual $18.75.
Overall, Okada ramen and Sushi offers quality food, a pleasant ambiance, and excellent service. It's a solid recommendation for anyone looking for delicious ramen and sushi in the One Loudoun area!“
