37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Sterling

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We ordered teriyaki chicken with rice and spring rolls from the restaurant, I must say that they tasted good. They were on sale too. It came with a sauce, but I ordered extra white sauce, they were tasty too. The were mildly spicy, unlike some other Asian food.“

“Tried Quickway Japanese Hibachi in Glen Burnie for the 1st time tonight. Food was cheap but they got my order wrong. 😢 I wanted to try the shrimp hibachi but they gave both my husband and I chicken. We got it with the fried rice, noodles, and veggies with lots of yum yum sauce. Sides of chicken dumplings and chicken egg rolls. I still enjoyed mine. My husband said that his was bland and he was not a fan. Make sure you check the box if you order pickup from them like I did! It’s basically the food you would expect from a mall food court.🍗 🍜 🍚 🥟“

“I have eaten here dozens of times including my birthday this year. The food and service have consistently been incredible! My family loves the atmosphere and friendly staff, and even my kiddos ask to stop by for shrimp pops. Definitely recommend Ariake!“

“The best! They get their salmon fresh everyday and you can tell. Watch the sushi chefs - 6 guys behind the bar working constantly when they are busy. All of their food tastes so fresh and tasty. And their cocktails are delicious! Staff is generally super fast. I eat a lot of sushi and this is by far my favorite place!“

“Great food. amazing service“

“I'd been craving takoyaki for days, and suddenly decided to drive over late at night. Surprisingly, even though it was close to closing time, they still served me. The waitress, Emily, recommended some dishes, and we ordered them right away. She wasn't just beautiful and kind-hearted, she was practically a buddy! Apparently, she's only there on Fridays and weekends. There were only her and one other guy working at the front; everyone else was chatting. Everything was great, and she even recommended two drinks – such good value! She was so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip, and I'll definitely come back!“

“Best Sushi! Great atmosphere and staff!“

“Great food, good service…“

“Loved the sushi and the atmosphere. The staff was so nice and the food was amazing. Will be back often!“

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

“All you can eat sushi at about $26 p/p. Add $6 for sashimi options. Good sushi, fresh and not a ton of rice to fill you up. As all-you-can-eat goes, this place is a keeper. Usually order a set amount from any sushi restaurant, so that's what I ordered... That's all I can eat! Check was about 15% less than a regular sushi place with comparable quality.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner meal. As always, the chef was masterfully entertaining 🔪🔥— The food was fantastic‼️“

“Definitely recommend this place! The staff is so sweet! I’m pregnant and ordered the firework roll and it was the best thing I’ve eaten my entire pregnancy.
The prices are reasonable, great quality food, and quick friendly service. Love this place!“

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

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

“This restaurant has been fabulous to myself and my boyfriend. We truly love them.“

“This spot is a family favorite of my husband and his family. I've been here about 10-15 times now and each time we leave happy, well fed and normally with a little snack/to go box with our leftovers. The fried rice is delicious, they cook everything in front of you (of course) and I'm always satisfied. I will say the prices have increased and the meat quality isn't amazing but it's always a good meal.“

“UNBELIEVABLE FIND! Absolutely the best sushi! Fresh and delicious! The salmon melted in my mouth! The teriyaki plates were amazing. The staff is so nice and sweet. My wife and I had an incredible experience. We travel an hour each way just to eat here!“

“My server & host Jay set the mood the drinks were good I'd suggest the grape soju & the dumplings were fire 🔥 it was happy hour that was a combo well worth the meal, I'd also suggest the hamburger steak 😋 amazing atmosphere & kpop playing on the huge flat screen TVs 📺 definitely a 5 / 5 visit it was really good & I'll go back for another visit soon. Salute From the GlitchNation OG RB32 🫡💪🏾🙏🏾“

“HotSpot in Chantilly is one of my go-to places for hot pot! The quality of the meats and ingredients is always fresh, and they offer a great variety of options, whether you’re craving a hearty soup or want to grill right at your table. The all-you-can-eat deal is definitely worth it, especially if you’re going with a group.“

“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!“

“Always an amazing experience. Love being greeted personally by the owners and staff, just shows they have great customer service and management.

Started with an appetizer, and had my usual hibachi steak entree, then one of the new staff members recommended the mochi for dessert which was uhmazing ✨ hand decorated of course..shout out to Laura.

Would def recommend 10/10“

“Went for the first time with me and my mom. We loved it here the moment we walked in. We ordered the shrimp deluxe bento box and the steak deluxe bento box. It was so amazing and the steak practically melting in your mouth. The staff was really nice and this place was a nice place to eat at, definitely coming back in the future when we’re in the area“

“Dined at this spot several times in the past and ordered for delivery many times as well. We went back last night and was very happy with our order. Had several maki rolls and they were also very good. Good service, nice atmosphere! Definitely recommend. Can’t wait to go back .“

“The Atmosphere! Sterling establishment!“

“My husband and I ordered there this afternoon and the food was great! Prices are reasonable and they have a friendly, attentive staff. We ordered the shrimp bowl with white rice, noodles, and vegetables. Delicious!“

“Yummy… love their presentation and fresh food!“

“Great place for takeout!

We love the Fairfax location much more, though. They have fountain drinks, more food options, and you can eat from a big bowl when dining in instead of a takeout container. They have better music, and there isn’t an alarm bell going off anytime an online order comes in.“
