42 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lorton

“My favorite spot! I have been going there for over ten years.“

“Been here twice and the food was fantastic each time!“

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

“We got the pork (i think) cheesy katsu. It was absolutely delicious and well worth what we paid. The side bits were also delicious and really complement the katsu itself. Really nice guy (owner?) served us--I'd definitely come back again!

The only slight downside I had was not service or food related, but the lighting in this place was really...depressing?? It was a cold office overhead light feeling, I think they'd benefit from warmer bulbs.“

“So happy to have found this place. Will definitely return! Excellent food and price! Friendly staff! Thank you 😊

Updating my review ::: we have returned several times and greeted with a friendly welcome, and enjoyed delicious freshly made food! Pro tip::: after your meal check out paradise ice cream for dessert 5 minutes away!“

“This place is awesome. Never disappointed when we go there. Their food is delicious.“

“THIS IS THE BEST HIBACHI PLACE IN THE ENTIRE WOODBRIDGE. WOW, I have never had fresh fried whiting so good in a longggg longggg time. Their food is amazing. Their cashier, EuEu, I believe is her name, has the best customer service skills I have seen in decades. She is warm in approach, kind hearted, and very friendly. This restaurant needs to stay in woodbridge for years because I’m a native and have not come across such customer service like this years for hibachi food. I came yesterday and came back again today. The taste of the flavors kept calling my name.

If you’re looking for A1 good hibachi food, visit this place today!“

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

“An excellent sushi place off the Little River Turnpike, straddling the line between casual and elegant. Perhaps more old-school than modern, but that doesn't detract from the food and service.

Absolutely great place to sit down and chill, or to enjoy a great meal. Doesn't have to be sushi, they also have Thai.“

“When you call, he doesn't even ask the name for the order, he just tells you when its going to be done. He knows who you are. normally when I order food like this i only eat the noodles and meat. Not here. Even the veggies are good. Nothing is left in the container when I'm done. Try the wontons“

“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.“

“Wow! New chef Jason is a rockstar. Best meal at hibachi ever. No extra sauce, just cooked to perfection with the right amount of flavor.“

“This is one of the best Japanese steakhouses I have ever been to. I have been to a handful but this place has always been my home. I have been coming to this place since I was a child and before the new owners. It has yet to disappoint me with anything. Atmosphere is always great and the food is even better. I miss Kawasaki because he would do the craziest things like throw an onion from across the room for a free meal (which I caught) some of the best memories of mine have come from here. I 100% suggest if you haven’t had hibachi before.

Kid-friendliness: Came as a kid and always had options“

“We love coming here, great ambiance and people. David the manager was very accommodating and our chef - Ryan - did an amazing job tonight. We love that they give noodles and fried rice! Also you MUST try the Tokyo Shrimp here it is FANTASTIC!! The filet mignon melts in your mouth love the salmon lobster and scallops too. Their ginger sauce, yum yum sauce, AND salad dressing are all on point. It’s hard to find a place that does everything as well as Samurai. We drive from Ashburn just to come here for hibachi.“

“The sushi was outstanding and very reasonably priced! I highly recommend. We will be back!“

“We love Fo. While we have eaten there in person, it's usually a nice take out option for us. The sushi is always really fresh, and we love the teriyaki and red curry. The staff is also super responsive and helpful. We have some food allergies in our family that make being able to eat out really difficult, and they are so careful at Fo! It's amazing having a safe option that I can actually eat (there are very few places or meals where we can!)“

“I am a fan of unagi (eel), so when a friend recommended Taiko Sushi I had to start with their unagi domburi (eel over sushi rice).

It is simply the best unagi domburi I have ever had in the DC area.

It was $30, but the portion size was generous and it came with several small sides such as Japanese pickles and seaweed salad. I'm glad I didn't buy an appetizer, or I wouldn't have been able to eat it all.“

“Best authentic Japanese cuisine in our area😋“

“We loved this place. Had to visit a second time to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. Now it will be part of our rotation. The service is fast and friendly, the portions and prices are reasonable, and the food is so good. The sushi doesn’t disappoint!“

“Great food, generous portions, cozy atmosphere!

Went to Izakaya Khan on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised — not too crowded and no reservation needed. It’s a cute little izakaya with a solid menu and fair prices.

The assorted yakitori offered great variety and was very affordable. Some pork skewers were a bit tough, but most others were delicious and fun to try.

The fried shrimp was a highlight — super juicy and fresh inside, crispy outside, and not greasy at all, even after it cooled down.

The tonkatsu rice bowl came in a generous portion and was satisfying overall. Nothing too surprising, but still quite good.

The stir-fried large intestine had a Korean-style spicy sauce — fragrant, flavorful, and really enjoyable. A bit spicy for my personal taste, but would go perfectly with a bowl of rice.

Portions were big and prices reasonable. We ordered several dishes and couldn’t even finish everything between two people. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for a relaxed and tasty meal.“

“As authentic as it gets. Highly recommend the spicy chicken halal ramen. The broth had a great flavor and there was a generous portion of noodles. Most ramen places in the DMV play it safe with a high sodium broth and offer chili oil on the side, it was nice to have something different.“

“So good�“

“To the comments giving bad reviews: 1. Who orders sushi for delivery? It’s supposed to fresh. 2. Sushi is always ‘overpriced’ for the amount of food you get. At least this place gives you high quality ingredients. You can really taste the difference. 3. Other reviews complaining about the dining experience really don’t seems to have a developed taste. The sushi is so good that it doesn’t matter is you are just giving “one napkin”. Ask for more. The sushi is delish. The true flavor of the rice and the fish and the extra topping really come out because they don’t douse the sushi in so much sauce that all you taste is the sauce. It really is fresh food as you must sit and wait for the order to be made. You can also observe the owner making it. I was never too much of a sushi fan, but this place has won me over. Also, the owner is a wonderful women. She has a lot of humor and is very welcoming. She likes getting to know her customers and developing a relation with them.“

“Love the Garlic Twin“

“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!“

“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.“

“The best customer service. I was first time in Springfield and wow what a great suprise. I was waiting for car to be fixed for 2 hrs.
I walked in and so feiendly. I ordered rhe carna asada plate. Wow everything fresh from the salad to the black beans. The best black beans I had ever had. So much food and so delicous.
A big Thank you for letring me hang out for awhile. If ever back I will definetly come again“

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

“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 !!!“

“We took our daughter here for her Birthday dinner! She loves sushi and we’ve been here many times! The owners are awesome Ms Kim! The food is great!“

“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.“

“Taste of Asia is a local mom and pop restaurant in Alexandria where my family frequently orders our buffet style party trays from — we would highly recommend the Orange Chicken, Lo Mein, and stir fry options. The portions are generous, the food is delicious, and the staff is always friendly.

Pro-tip: order catering from Taste of Asia — it’s been amazing for us every time“

“We come here for lunch often because it’s close to the office, and the sushi is good quality at a decent price with good service. It’s a special place to celebrate birthdays and promotions. I especially appreciate how anytime I’ve encountered a small issue or misunderstanding, the owner went above and beyond to clear things up and make it right.“

“The customer service was great. the cashier was coming to get my buzzer as soon as it went off. She also came to my table to deliver my take-out. The sushi here is exceptionally good, great price for great food, I highly recommend this place. :)“

“I was eating my shrimp tempura roll with my friends at the mall, and I dropped it. I only had 7$ left amd the total came to 7.20$ The sweet cashier gave me the 20 cents off and I wish i could have given her a tip so im writing this review instead.“

“It’s a really nice store.“

“The Presentation of the Food so artistic 😋 😍“

“Best sushi I’ve had in a while. Fresh and delicious. Great selection and prices. Definitely making this a regular stop!!“

“My family has been ordering from here for many years. It is consistently delicious with friendly service. A huge bonus is their Gluten Free General Tsos and Gluten Free Noodles. My Husband loves their Shrimp and Broccoli and Crab Rangoon. Additionally, you can order sushi.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Options for someone with Celiac Disease, never had a problem!“

“They were quick and the food was awesome“

“I ordered Agu Jjim for the first time as a to-go option. When placing my order, I inquired about the possibility of adjusting the spice level, and the staff kindly confirmed they could accommodate that request. I asked for a medium spice level, and I was thrilled to open the dish upon receiving it, especially since the restaurant had recently opened.

Upon tasting it, I found it absolutely delightful—truly perfect. The seasoning was just right, and the spiciness suited my palate perfectly. While I know I cannot replicate such wonderful flavors, I genuinely appreciate the effort that goes into the dish, and I would like to share a couple of suggestions for improvement.

I noticed that the bean sprouts seemed quite shriveled, which might indicate they were added too early in the cooking process. If they could be boiled or steamed separately and then mixed with the Agu Jjim, it might enhance the texture. Additionally, I felt the quantity of bean sprouts was somewhat lacking. Given that bean sprouts are relatively inexpensive, increasing the amount could make the dish appear more abundant.

I share these thoughts with the hope that the restaurant continues to thrive. Overall, this Agu Jjim is the best I have enjoyed in Annandale, and it stands out among the Agu Jjim I've had in the U.S. The freshness of the fish was exceptional as well. I wish the restaurant great success!“

“Went to a Hibachi grill buffet another day. Huge variety of food, from fresh sushi to grilled items, and the hibachi station was definitely the highlight. The flavors were good, portions unlimited, and overall it felt like a fun dining experience. Great option if you’re craving both Asian and American dishes in one place.“
