I ate here with my friend and it amazed me how empty it was despite the FANTASTIC service and food quality. IT WAS SO GOOD!! I heavily recommend the crab rangoons!!

If you want real & authentic Asian food this would be a great place to go. Though the service was awful and extremely disappointing. The waiter only came to give me water & my food. They never checked and asked if I wanted more water or if I was happy with what I ordered or anything like that! I sat for about 15 minutes waiting for the check and no one ever came up to me. I had to get the manager in order for myself to received my check. Terribly disappointing!

The atmosphere was great, but the food was a huge disappointment. I even paid an extra $15 for the wagyu sushi, and it wasn’t good at all. Overall, it felt like a complete waste of money more like fast food quality than what you’d expect from a proper sushi restaurant.

This is a great local Asian fusion restaurant with some Korean, Thai, and Japanese dishes as well as fusion apps like short rib nachos (which use fried wonton as chips).

Went in for a late lunch/early dinner outside of main meal times on a Sunday, so it was on the quieter side. Food was delicious, drinks were tasty, and our server was prompt, polite, and accommodating. Make sure to try to the Tokyo Street Fries!

I ordered the bento box. The chicken was mixed in the rice, with a tiny bit of teriyaki sauce on the rice, I could have just order chicken fried rice , my dumplings were slightly burnt and I paid to add sour cream and avocado added in my sushi they only added the avocado.

54 Restaurant offers a tantalizing menu with dishes like the salmon belly nigiri and yakisoba noodles with shrimp that are undeniably delicious. However, the dining experience is significantly marred by a severe lack of service.
From the moment I walked in, I was left waiting, my presence seemingly unnoticed by the staff. Despite making eye contact with multiple employees, no one acknowledged my arrival or offered assistance. It wasn't until I was on the verge of leaving that a hostess finally appeared to seat me.
The service continued to be underwhelming. My server, who was also the bartender, seemed more preoccupied with other tasks than attending to the needs of the diners. The slow pace of service detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal.
While the food is undoubtedly a highlight, it's difficult to overlook the poor service. 54 Restaurant would benefit greatly from prioritizing customer experience and ensuring that staff are attentive and efficient.

I love this place! Their food is light and very tasty!
Most of the poor reviews are misc complaints, so I want to add my two cents that the FOOD here is fantastic.
I was craving some chicken katsu and found this place nearby. The chicken was excellent—crispy but not dry, while the curry sauce had the mildest kick to it. Also ordered spring rolls, which came in a generous portion of 3.
For a delivery order, it kept surprisingly well. No doubt it tastes even better fresh, so I'll be coming back for the katsu and probably to try the sushi.

I ordered Lomein , and it had a sweet flavor, which I didn't care for. But if you like sweet pasta, then go for it

The first time I came to 54 the food was amazing, but the service left a sour taste in my mouth. I placed a 1-star review on Google but Richard the owner responded to the review and told me that if my wife and I came back in, we would not be disappointed.
Deciding to give the restaurant a second chance, we returned and were blown away by the amount of care we got this time around. Richard truly cares about this restaurant’s customers, and he showed that. The staff were attentive, polite and the food was just as good as I had remembered. I can now wholeheartedly say that this is one of my favourite restaurants in the NOVA area and will definitely be back!

Went here for a work party and the food and atmosphere was great. I got some great Asian fusion, my favorite being waffle fries with spicy mayo and steak. Great restaurant, 10/10
