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

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

“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!“

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

“I love coming, the staff is very kind and friendly. I have been to other restaurants that serve seafood and in my opinion this is the place to go. I always come for the turbulence and supreme tuna are my favorite. The Philly and bagel roll are both great options as well!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“We tried Hibachi Black Pepper Chicken with veggies and fried rice. The serving size was good. And we also tried BBQ Chicken Musubi and I really liked both of the dishes. The Kheer (rice pudding) reminded me of my mom, just the right balance of sweetness. The overall bill was under $25 I think. The lady at the counter was very welcoming and helpful and made our experience even better.“

“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.“

“Best authentic Japanese cuisine in our area😋“

“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“

“I went here for my birthday for the first time. I ordered the unagi don that was very delicious honestly 10/10. My family told our waitress it was my birthday and they gave me this adorable balloon rose, along with 2 slices of cake( one small cheesecake slice with yuzu, and a chocolate chestnut cake).

The cheesecake was lovely and I’m sure the chocolate one was too but I refrained since I’m allergic to tree nuts. The presentation of the dishes looked elegant and the food came out at a good time. Even if it took more time I wouldn’t mind since all the food was delicious. We came in around 2 and it was somewhat empty which I appreciated. The staff was very kind and gave us a complimentary appetizer of sweet potato tempura.“

“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.“

“Hands down the best restaurant in the area. We live nearby and order weekly, sometimes dining in, sometimes takeout. My husband and I often comment how consistently fresh the sushi is. Like the person managing the inventory and sales is crushing it. We used to lived in D.C. and even at our favorite places there were a handful of times when the fish wasn’t that fresh. Further, they actually have rolls on the menu that use raw fish and don’t have cream cheese, are deep fried, or include a “crunchy” aspect (seriously, look at any other sushi menus; you can’t unsee it).
We go for the food, and the pleasant staff and quick wait times are a plus.

Our only wishes: a spicy tonkotsu ramen, delivery services, and maybe a rewards program :).“

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

“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.“

“Loved this place and experience that comes with. Very nice people and delicious sushi!!“

“Simple small family run restaurant with American and international food. I had the ribeye lunch special, my wife had a burger. The food was excellent and the staff were wonderful. The Starline Restaurant upholds the belief that small hole in the wall or out of the way places often have the best food!“

“Love the Garlic Twin“

“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 !!!“

“So good�“

“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!“

“I've been coming here for a year or more. I usually order out but on occasion eat in. I appreciate that they offer 10% off for online orders and are courteous when dining in. I also love being able to alter rolls ordered to my preference.“

“Been hooked to this resto since 2022. Been all over the US, from California, Texas, Colorado, Georgia etcc… and this is far the most fresh, and best tasting sushi we have ever gone. We always order the redbull roll and never gone wrong! We also order toro ( fatty tuna) sashimi because it just melt on the tongue like butter. It’s so fresh! The marbling on their Toro is majestic! I tried to look and eat for the same roll from other resto, and no one has beat kumo. The staff are always polite, kind, and energetic. If you’re ever in DMV, this is a must place to eat!“

“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.“

“We love Beijing Tokyo and come here (or order delivery) at least once a month! My personal favorites are the Beef Sticks and Jumbo Shrimp in Creamy Sauce — so good every time. My kiddo always goes for the Wonton Soup, and their fried rice and sushi are also excellent. You really can’t go wrong here.

They’re also very family-friendly, which makes dining in easy and enjoyable with kids. Delivery always arrives hot and fresh, and when we eat at the restaurant, the service is consistently great. It’s one of our go-to spots and we highly recommend it!“

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

If you want something quick, delicious, and satisfying — Suny Sushi is definitely worth a visit! 😋👍“

“It’s a really nice store.“

“I love coming to this restaurant when you walk in the door you greeted with so much love and honor and respect and seated in a very cozy comforting place where the server is so attentive to you the chefs here are so very skilled. The fish seafood is so very fresh very well prepared every dish that comes to your table. Looks like it should be hanging on exhibit.“

“Really yummy hibachi! Excellent customer service - I had an issue with my order and the management was very nice and handled it so well. Definitely coming back and recommend you come try them out! I had the chicken, beef, shrimp combo with extra yummy sauce.“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but Mandarin Court inspired me in the same way a flat tire inspires you to learn how to change one — out of necessity… except this time, it was a pleasant surprise necessity.

This was, without question, one of the most unexpectedly memorable Chinese food experiences I’ve had.

The General Tso’s chicken was impressively subtle and balanced — a culinary achievement, really, considering the dish is normally known for being overpowering. It had that comforting, reheated-in-the-best-way feel, like leftovers that somehow taste even better the next day. They even served it in the same container it was warmed in, which honestly made it feel cozy and unpretentious — like eating something straight from the kitchen before it even has time to cool down.

The fried rice was… unique. Not your standard heavy, greasy version — more like a time capsule of classic takeout flavors. It felt intentional. Retro, even. The fried beef? Minimalist. Deep-fried breading with just enough beef inside to keep you guessing. Calling it “fried beef” might undersell the artistry. “Breaded air sticks with beef rumors” still applies — but in that avant-garde, less-is-more kind of way.

Food aside, the aesthetics of the place give off strong “no-frills, all-focus-on-the-food” energy. The floors and simple interior lean lived-in rather than flashy, and the cool dining room temperature? Let’s call it invigorating. Like a bus stop in January — but you’re waiting for something worth it.

I went in thinking, “How bad could it be?” and left thinking, “Well… that was definitely an experience.”

Would I recommend it? If you appreciate character, commitment to simplicity, and a dining story you won’t forget — absolutely.“

“The Presentation of the Food so artistic 😋 😍“

“I went there around 6 p.m. on a weekday, and the place was already packed. The food was warm, which was nice. One thing I wish they had was disposable gloves for picking up food. Some of the serving utensils were a bit sticky, and it felt uncomfortable holding them with bare hands.

This place isn’t really a Chinese buffet. It feels more like a general buffet that also caters to the Latino community. They didn’t even have fried rice; you cannot NOT have fried rice at a chinese buffet. They also had sushi, which honestly wasn’t great, but I didn’t go there for sushi anyway.

One thing that really stood out was the imitation crab soup. It was really good, and you don’t usually see that kind of soup at a buffet like this, so I was impressed. Other than that, it felt like a typical buffet experience but a little less.

For the price and the variety, I’d give it four stars, but I wouldn’t call it a Chinese buffet, just a buffet overall.“

“They were quick and the food was awesome“
