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

“Had a great time dining at Kumo Sushi! I tried the ramen and it was comforting, flavorful, and well-prepared — a really satisfying bowl. But the real star here is the sushi — absolutely fantastic! Fresh, well-crafted, and full of flavor.

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!“

“Stopped in after visiting the air & space museum and so glad we did! We weren't really feeling their overpriced burgers and fries. Yaki Sushi is so charming on the inside and the staff was friendly and courteous. We got sushi and some entrees and they were 🤌 chefs kiss. Lots of food and very filling.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Wonderful bartender Melissa…good eats…delightful atmosphere. One can eat outside or inside at the bar or a table. Nice options.“

“The Thai food we ordered was fresh and delicious. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, our food arrived without delay, hot and scrumptious! Great atmosphere, very relaxing and cozy. Highly recommend.“

“Came for dessert after dinner at the plaza next door, and we got the Red Bean Bingsoo. Love that they use shaved milk, and not shaved ice 🥹 it is on the pricier end for the amount of bingsoo you get (the V-shaped bowl is slightly deceptive), but every bite was worth it.

Saw that there was a self-serve ramen bar, so I’d definitely come back here with friends next time!“

“Very good! 4 stars!!! Was nice to get out of the house and dine-in once in a while. Introduced the kiddos to sushi & they really liked it!“

“Lovely atmosphere and tasty traditional Chinese food, including Taiwanese favorites. Good sized portions, reasonable prices and friendly service. They also have a special menu for Chinese New Year which we would love to try if we can make it back during that time if year.“

“A great Sushi restaurant. Must try ,! Delicious food, nicely decorated clean and very friendly service. Many different choices. Can not wait to go back.“

“Yummy… love their presentation and fresh food!“

“I visited a take-out Japanese restaurant at the H-Mart Fairfax Food Court with modest expectations regarding the quality of the food. Surprisingly, the Chirashi Salad Bowl and the Sashimi Combo were fresh and flavorful. Initially, I thought the Chirashi Bowl might be too small for one person, but it was just the right portion. However, considering its price, I found the Sashimi Combo to be relatively small. For those who prefer to dine in, there is a shared seating area in the center of the food court accessible to all the eateries.“

“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.“
