50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Tysons

“The entire experience was awesome! We didn’t have reservations, as we just came from a show. They worked us in and the tapas style dining was just what we needed for an upscale, late-night meal. Flavor was out of this world and presentation was art! I’ll definitely be back & highly recommend the ninniku noodles with duck confit. 🤤“

“Food quality was pretty decent despite the price. We loved almost everything we had here except the fried squid. It was a bit overcooked and chewy. Most items we tried at least twice minus dessert. Reservation system needs some work. We didn’t end up having to wait long at all, but there was a slight possibility. Would return again with my family.“

“My first visit was last week....the bento box was very good and the service was wonderful!“

“This place was surprisingly good. Loved it! Will be coming back soon and bringing company!“

“We had such a great experience at Yume! The food was delicious, but what really made our visit special was Hermella. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

We’ll definitely be back, and hopefully we get Hermella again! She is a true asset to Yume. Highly recommend! 🍣❤“

“A delicious wagyu omakase experience. The course was well put together, and everything was good. At the end, they served complimentary black sesame chocolates and hojicha tea, which I really enjoyed. I’ve seen mixed reviews about this place, but I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it.“

“We tried this place after reading some recommendations on Reddit. The food was quite good and they had a wide selection. I had the flying dragon and my wife really liked the mango tango roll. But the thing that initially had us was how clean the place was. The tempura was also very good because of how clean the oil was. The service was also excellent. It was so good that we came back the next weekend to try out some more dishes despite it being a 30 minute drive from our home. Definitely recommend and would probably be here every week if it wasn’t so far.“

“One of my patients let me know that this would be their last week in business - the owners are retiring. Wonderful, cozy restaurant with the best sushi and home style dishes in the entire metro area. I have been coming here for 20 years. Sad to see them go, but glad it is of their own decision. Thank you, Kotobuki, for 20+ wonderful years.“

“Outstanding dinning experience! We’ve been to and have had Korean BBQ, but NOTHING compares to this! The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!“

“Had a coupon from inkind so tried this place out. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They have music playing but it isn’t too loud or overwhelming. Seating is nice because you can choose to sit at the lower (table height) counter or high top level counter. If you aren’t familiar with hot pot or unsure of the best combos, staff will prep your dipping sauce and broth and cook your noodles and other items to ensure it turns out amazing. I had sushi. Seaweed salad and miso soup were delicious. I gave a four for food because the wasabi is not very spicy. And while the sushi was tasty, it wasn’t the best I’ve had. It took a lot to get that subtle but powerful heat I expect from traditional wasabi. If you aren’t a fan of a touch of sinus clearing heat but love wasabi flavor, you’ll find this place is for you. Def worth the visit and will return to try the hot pot next!“

“just want to tell you...the best in DMV 5☆“

“Great experience! loved my Bulgogi lunch box special ✨️🙌 staff is very warm and kind! what a pleasant experience!“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

“This restaurant was SO amazing! The inside was cute and cozy. It may have been a little small, but it certainly made up for that with the delicious food! The service was incredible; the servers were so kind and listened to every request. Would definitely recommend the crunch roll, Japanese lasagna roll (has a crunch cheese on top), friendly neighbor roll, etc. Would definitely recommend coming here!! 😋“

“This place was amazing!! My husband and I have been to the AMC movie theater a couple times at this mall and have seen this sushi place and have wanted to try it. It was better than expected. All 4 sushi rolls were great, Wagyu beef fried rice: AMAZING, and also had 2 different Sakes that were delicious. The inside of the restaurant is my dream decor and you can’t even tell you’re in a mall. Our waiter was so helpful and nice and the owner/manager of the restaurant came to talk to us and told us that not many people know they are there. Please visit this place so it can stay open and I can keep going back!“

“Amazing Memorial Day lunch, from the cocktail to the clams miso soup, high quality sashimi imported from Japan, this restaurant offer a Japanese twist with a western touch!
One of best Japanese restaurant in the DMV

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

“tengo 15 años de venir aqui sin dudarlo se lo recomiendo la mejor comida“

“This is our second time here. This time, we came for lunch. Sashimi/sushi fish quality is exceptional. Our server, Jana, was super friendly and efficient. It’s a great price deal without compromising food quality. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“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!“

“I was craving some authentic Bangladeshi-style Chinese and Japanese flavors, and I had already tried so many places—but nothing really satisfied my taste buds. Then I visited Flame Japanese Hibachi, and in one word: AWESOME! 😍
I absolutely loved the food! It brought back that familiar, comforting taste I’ve loved since my childhood. ❤ The flavors were exactly what I had been craving.
The only thing that bothered me was that they don’t have a restroom. Other than that, everything was 10/10! ⭐
Keep up the amazing taste and quality! I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. 😇❤“

“Been a few times now...The spicy rock shrimp is a good app for sharing.
The steam shumai left a bit more to be desired imo.
Spicy mango roll is one of my fav rolls- so sweet! Love the seaweed salad too.
But my all time fav dessert is the red beam taiyaki with matcha ice cream!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“We had the most wonderful dinner tonight celebrating a birthday. Quan Tran was amazing! The food was so good and he was so fun!“

“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.“

“Classic sushi bar with some excellent quality fish. They excel at unique fusion sashimi (like the amazing salmon carpaccio with tomato and basil) and nigiri (the maguro with truffle!) Simply prepared with incredible flavor combos. They also have an incredible sake list! Very well priced, Takumi is our go to sushi spot!

By far, this is“

“Can’t recommend this place enough!! It’s definitely our favorite sushi spot in town. A great quality for a great price and the nigiri pieces are massive. We usually get the sushi deluxe sampler with a little bit of everything. 1000% check this out if you’re a sushi fiend like myself. (Promise I’m not a bot lol)“

“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.“

“Sushi Yama I think is the best in the entire Northern VA area in terms of fish quality and customer service.

The sushi is always fresh and great.

Rolls are great too.

Best value in the area, very affordable“

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

“The sushi at Takumi Japanese Bistro & Bar was fresh and nicely prepared. The salmon nigiri had a clean flavor, and the spicy tuna roll had just enough heat without being buried in sauce. The chicken gyoza was another good choice, with crisp bottoms and a savory filling. I liked that the menu had more than just sushi, so there were plenty of options for the table. Service was pleasant, although things slowed down a little once the restaurant became busier. Overall, a satisfying Japanese meal in Bethesda.“

“Excellent sushi restaurant! We were in Vienna and craving sushi and found this gem. We were seated right away, greeted with a smile and had a lovely evening. We started off with the edamame and miso soup and salad. We were BLOWN away with how good everything was right off the bat! The house salad had a onion sauce on the top that was so good! Best house salad I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Then we both had rolls that were amazing! Joanne was our waitress and she was so kind and efficient. She even provided us with recommendations and a great description of some of the dishes I asked about. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vienna! Thank you so much!“

“Great food. amazing service“

“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 !!!“

“Super good food they have that holiday promotion for 2, varieties of meat from pork, beef, that chicken and shrimps are delicious. Friendly staff. Place is clean, excellent service. Highly recommend when you are in Arlington, Virginia come visit too!“

“We went back to Shibuya after an initial visit shortly after opening and were much more impressed this time. The Yakisoba and the Summer Noodles were flavorful and served in generous enough portions that made leftovers possible. The chicken in both dishes was excellent. Although the setup looks like fast food, each meal was prepared from scratch. We won’t wait so long next time before returning.“

“Great sushi, friendly staff, and pretty ambiance. Definitely recommend!“

“Excellent foods, good vibes, great services!“

“My girlfriend and I went here for our first time for our 3 year anniversary. It was a very nice and cute place and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was excellent, we both enjoyed what we got and kept talking about how good it was. The best part of our whole meal was our server Jaden. He was very patient with us as first timers and gave great recommendations. My girlfriend and I had a good time with him and great laughs, Jaden and the whole restaurant is a main reason we’ll keep coming back and bring our friends!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious! However, I was disappointed that I had to request my sushi rolls be remade because they were packaged alongside rolls containing avocado, which I’m allergic to (and communicated that when ordering). While mistakes happen, the employee seemed annoyed by my request, which was off-putting considering the error was on their end. Food allergies and cross-contamination are serious concerns, and a more understanding response would have been appreciated.

The location is also a bit unique. Parking is in a paid garage, followed by a short walk to the restaurant. Something to consider when visiting with elderly guests, individuals with mobility challenges, or small children.

Overall, great food, but customer service and attention to dietary restrictions could definitely improve.“

“T-swirl Crepe is a top-notch spot! The ingredients are fresh, generous and delicious and the crepes are absolutely amazing, perfectly made each time and very filling! They offer a great variety of sweet and savory crepes. The also offer a great selection of tea and ice cream, and the drinks are also very good! Great pairing! And what makes this place standout is the staff, they are always friendly, welcoming and very accommodating of special requests. You can see that they are well trained and expert in what they are doing. Definitely my favorite place and my daughters - Highly recommend! And this is my first time to leave a review- it is that good!“
