“I went to YamaChen Sushi for the first time and it was everything I was craving for and more. The 2 for 1 sushi roll combo were a reasonable price and even more delicious. The staff was wonderful. So wonderful that I would return to this place solely based off the kindness and welcoming nature of the staff. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. I can’t wait to return!“
“This place is always packed, and there's a reason: It is amazing. Our go to is the bubba, yummy Yama and pan fried gyoza. It's right up there with the best sushi we've ever had. And they also have subtle touches, like they put the gyoza in styrofoam containers, and then they poke holes in the styrofoam to make sure the gyoza stays crispy and doesn't soften with its own steam. Also, they will hold open the doors for you if your hands are full with a carry out order. Such nice touches!“
“Treated my cousin to Sweet Ginger for his birthday and we were both amazed by the quality and quantity of food we received for the price paid. We made it easy for our patient and attentive waiter by ordering two Thai iced tea and the Bento Box A with beef teriyaki. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection. Starting with the Thai iced tea; which was almost like a dessert. So smooth and sweet! It complimented the meal. The miso soup was comforting and had a balanced ratio of broth, tofu, greens, and green onion. The salad was fresh, crisp, and dressed with a rich and tasty peanut dressing. Of course, the highlight of our meal was the incredible bento boxes. The tempura shrimp and vegetables were my favorite. They were breaded to ideal crispiness and paired well with the soy dipping sauce. The vegetables were one big broccoli floret and large sliced carrot and zucchini medallions. The teriyaki steak was scrumptious, served on a bed of cabbage slaw with a generous amount of sauce. There was enough for me to dip other box components into, like the California rolls, tofu, and the Japanese dumpling. We dusted off everything. Not even the leftover salad dressing remained because we drank it all up! The whole experience was so much fun and we had a blast. Can't wait to go back. We left feeling satisfied and can add this to our list of happy memories!“
“Best Japanese food and the atmosphere is good for all occasions.I would recommend this place and will be going again.Vegetarian options: Raman, sushi roll and startersParking: There is ample place for parking right opposite to the Resturant.Kid-friendliness: Yes the atmosphere and food portions are really kid friendly“
“I really like the food here, especially the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki boxes. The complimentary sides you get with the box are quite refreshing, especially the kimchi, which I ended up finishing in one bite. The meats here are quite succulent, and I love how the juices drip onto the rice to create this popping, umami flavor. Green tea here was a nice refresher to satisfy my hunger.“
“Best Sashimi and Chirashi don that you can find in the area. I ordered it almost once a week. I also shared it on my social media and recommend Kizuna to anyone who loves sashimi. The food is awesome! Chirashi is far beyond my expectation. Thanks for making such incredible chirashi don!!!!! Ramen is also tasty!“
“Could be easily be improved by not frying meet with vegetables together and servers could learn the menu a little better together with better mood at work which will rise the tips and the better atmosphere.Parking: Easy to park , it’s a huge parking lot ?️ and more restaurants and shopping center.Kid-friendliness: The cook has the energy and wish to play with kids which he doesn’t have to do it but it’s nice of them they do, because the picky kids started eating here under the play atmosphere the cook did !“
“This is a LONG overdue review of one of my favorite sushi restaurants-- ever. I'm a sashimi snob and have been to some of the best sushi restaurants in LA/SF/DC/NYC and around the world. I've had omakase in all those cities and have eaten at the fanciest as well as the worst. Sushi Yoshi is unparalleled in its value for the quality fish, food and service. You will not find a place more reasonably priced than Sushi Yoshi. Of course the fish and cuts are not what you'd expect at Nobu; but it's REALLY good. The fish is fresh and the portions are big!! It also serves the BEST hamachi Kama you will ever eat anywhere. Hands down the best. The meat is thick and not overly greasy like other places (that usually serves a very think piece of the collar.) The chef and owner Mark is also extremely personable and generous with his portions. You can trust him to use great quality ingredients and fish directly flown from Japan. My family ordered from Sushi Yoshi at least once a week during COVID. They stayed open all throughout the pandemic! In fact, we often had to wait for 15-20 min to place an order on the phone because they were so busy and popular! We still order almost every three weeks or so (whenever I visit my sister's.) And I eat two orders of chirashi sashimi by myself! (Without the rice) All in all, I'd highly recommend trying Sushi Yoshi if you haven't yet. It's a gem in Vienna!“
“Absolutely great sushi and great service! Ordered the dragon roll, salmon lover roll, volcano roll, and 2 California rolls. Everything was perfect. We ordered take out after eating there several days prior (second pic with flying dragon roll). I’d say the price is very reasonable for such delicious and fresh sushi. Service was excellent. Will be our go to place for both dine in and take out!“
“Hot pot was supper good with good portions per each person. Workers were super nice and are always walking around if you need anything. The prime rib was so tender and melts in your mouth. Not to mention the sauce that they give you the instructions to make is amazing and you can choose how much of an ingredient to add in.“
“The weather was beautiful today, and flowers were blooming. And this little cozy place was perfect for me. The chirashi bowl was very satisfying... the fish was so tasty and fresh! I don't think anyone can beat this price with the quality of chirashi here. What a surprise... that I could trust Yelp reviews once again :)“
“This place is excellent! I had been meaning to come for over a year and yesterday it finally happened! My mate and I sat at the bar before the dinner rush started, so it was cool having the place to ourselves for a bit. The Whitefish, Yellowtail, and Burdock were delicious, the Sapporos were nice and cold, and the staff were all very professional and friendly!Definitely recommend“
“Love this little spot, it's around the corner from our office so we often go for lunch. I don't eat seafood, but my friends adore the sushi -- I used to live in Japan though, so even though I don't eat seafood, I love to go here for the delicious Tempura, Udon, Curry, and Katsu -- delicious and has a cozy environment with friendly staff! Oh and their house salad as the most delicious carrot ginger dressing!“
“One of the best sushi places in the DMV area and I've been to a lot of sushi places!They have nice portions. Their Black Magic is amazing. Their belly bun is good and I just recommend everything on their menu super flavorful and awesome service.“
“Absolutely outstanding! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere captivates with its charm - a solid 10/10. But it's not just the ambiance that impresses; the food presentation is simply beautiful, and the taste is excellent. I've dined at similar places, but none have left a mark like this one. Plus, the value for what you get is great. Can't wait to return with my family for another wonderful experience!Parking: lots of parking available in garage or street, very convenient“
“Everything was amazing and our server Sam was very attentive. We can't wait to come back with friends.We had the ceviche, seared scallop roll, filet, brisket, Nanban, flaming tuna roll, garlic butter scallops, passionfruit, and matcha crepe cake.The ceviche was a very good portion plus fun to watch when it was delivered.“
“This is Sushi Umi located in Herndon, VA. It's a great Japanese restaurant that has great food and sushi. The setting is super cute and the service was great. My waitress was really nice and attentive. She always made sure that I had everything I needed. The star of the show is the "Taste of Umi" which allows you to taste several dishes. My favorites were the eel and the fish roe!!! Just when I thought the meal was over, the chef gave me an extra piece on the house!!! It was a lovely tuna bite. Check it out if you have some time.“
“The service is fast, the staff is courteous and above all the sushi is bursting with flavor and authentic.I will go back again occasionally to try their other rolls and savor different flavorful and fresh sushiI took one star away because of the portion size! The sushi is tiny: the size of 4 rolls here is equivalent to 2 from other mainstream sushi places. I guess you get what you pay for: higher grade sushi, smaller portion for higher price.“
“This restaurant is the BEST Thai restaurant in all of Fairfax. And I have had tried almost every Thai restaurant in the area. Their pad Thai is perfection, and their sushi is so beautiful it almost pains me to eat it because it's so beautiful but it's DELICIOUS. They also have great customer service and had our order ready quick and efficiently.“
“When I choose the JP or Korean restaurant, I would like to try side dishes. I order Yoko salad, Takoyaki, Mango Salmon roll, and Fish Katsu.What I can say is I will come back again and again. The Fish Katsu (Fried fish) is the best fried fish I have had in my life besides my Mum’s cooking lol, not oily, thin and crispy flour, fresh, and delicious. I have been thinking of Takoyaki from the restaurant in Thailand, however this one nailed it lol. The salad dressing is beyond. Mango Salmon roll is creative. The Korean tea is perfect fit after the meal. Kamsahamnida for making such a great restaurant. We live in DC. 1.5 hours traveling to have a meal here is worth it.The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we opened the door.“
“Hands-down, the best sushi in the area. My family and I have been all-over and love the variety Taiko offers. We no longer go to D.C. for sushi.Service is the best and the atmosphere is perfect for 1-2, or even a large family or small gathering.Our family fave!!“
“Ok. I can be pretty harsh, overly critical, and selfishly opinionated about sushi offerings. But I can only convey that is tastes good and where good sushi can be found. Moreover, what gets lost in tranlation is my eagerness to convince just one or two readers which sushi place is good at the places where I can afford it.I don't think it makes sense to just order the most expensive sushi item on the menu at the most popular sushi places in city areas. We can't all fly in and out of Vegas just for lunch. Yume Sushi seems to bridge that divide. Oh man, just want I thought you cannot find any better quality+value sushi than the 1-2 places around the Tyson's area, Yume was a nice find. The chirashi is out of this world but note somewhat price at ~$50. But the fresh raw fish in chirashi is different than all other sushi places I've had. The award winning rolls I can pass. The chirashi is just the best item on the menu. Most of the other menu items evoke poor attempts at fusion inventions while trying not to alienate true foodies who appreciate proper traditional high quality sushi preparation. The A5 wagyu donburi was way too much rice and way too sweet. So if you decide to go, the chirashi is definitely worth the trip and at least for that special occasion.Parking: The sign to free parking in in the garage behind the restuarant is small and easy to miss.“
“This place is definitely not what it looks like from the outside. You should try it, they have amazing, authentic ramen. And guess what? They don't even give you forks! ? I had the veggie ramen and my partner had the spicy veggie ramen. Both were super flavorful but not too much.“
“From the minute our party of two entered, the staff greeted us warmly and were very polite. To start, the chicken karaage was perfectly seasoned, crisp, and temperature hot - no sauce needed. For my meal, I ordered the nigiri only Omakase (Chef Inspired Platter) which came with a miso soup and salad. The taste brought me back to Japan. Our meal also came with dessert in which we chose the green tea ice cream which did not disappoint! Everyone working was attentive, informative, and wonderful. Will be back and would definitely recommend!“
“We gave Mari Sushi Bar and Lounge in Herndon a try for my husband’s birthday, and it is now my favorite sushi spot! Everything was incredible-fresh, flavorful, and filling. Hands down the best dynamite roll I’ve had, and even the fish I usually pass over were so good I kept going back to them. The sauces complemented the fish perfectly, I highly recommend giving them a try.“
“Fresh rolls, delicious drinks, an attentive waiter, and the restaurant's clean and modern interior decor make for a great dining experience. I will definitely return to try more!Parking: Plenty of free parking as it's located in a shopping plaza.“
“A few of us spontaneously decided to get Tachibana for dinner this past Thursday and it was a good first experience for me. A couple of my friends have been here a few times and say their lunch specials are definitely worth the price. The service was pretty quick and we enjoyed our entrees at a round table. Their hot tea was quite enjoyable while we were waiting for the food. DONBURI: TUNA, YELLOWTAIL AND SALMON (9 PC) - 36.50 Not a cheap price and definitely more of a splurge for a regular weekday dinner. This came with a side of miso soup which was pretty standard. The donburi bowl was well presented, with each piece of fish spreading neatly across the bowl in a pinwheel shaped, topped with some garnish, lemons, ginger and wasabi. Each piece of sashimi was pretty thick and they give you a good amount of sushi rice that's been topped with some nori and small slivers of ginger. The sashimi quality was fantastic. I enjoyed the yellowtail a lot. The salmon and tuna were good, too! Overall, this was filling and tasty. I would recommend it if you are down to splurge. A couple of my friends got the beef sukiyaki which looked really good. I may have to try that next time!“
“My dad and I are regulars here and for good reason. We’re both very picky when it comes to sushi and there is no other sushi restaurant in the DMV that compares to this gem. The level of freshness and attention to detail is really great. The head sushi chef, Sam, is truly an amazing talent and is an absolute pleasure to talk to. If you’re a snob when it come to fresh, quality sushi, then this is the place for you!“
“Absolutely amazing. Tapas style, so you get to try lots of different dishes, especially if you share with your party. Great service, phenomenal food, and a beautiful view. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, informative, professional, and very kind.One of my new favorite restaurants in DC.“
“I like the fusion of Japanese and Korean food and the presentation of the food in a tray is very neat. I especially enjoyed the ramen, it was very flavorful and the spicy pork katsu also was pretty good. The waiters are friendly and pleasant. You should definitely try this restaurant if you are looking for Japanese and Korean food, it has both in one!“
“Chirashi bowl here is my favorite. It's assembly is so pretty and it's very filling. The variety and quality of fish is really good! Service is fast and accommodating even when busy. My dad's allergic to egg, so they make sure to avoid adding imitation crab in his dish. Ambiance is casual and comfortable for any occasion dining. Seatings a bit cozy because it's a bit smaller size restaurant, but it doesn't feel too claustrophobic.“
“Nice vibe and kid friendly. The lunch bento and dinner boxes are amazing. Sushi is great. The manager even brought us a sample to try.Kid-friendliness: They don't have a kids menu bot the lunch and dinner boxes are so big they can be easily shared.“
“Our go to sushi in Fairfax! Their menu is extensive and everything is always fresh! I love their entree boxes, complete with sushi, edamame, and salad. The perfect box of everything! I tend to order out, but service is always so nice. They have thrown in a free dessert or appetizer with almost every single order. Highly recommend!“
“Great little sushi place in the Harris Teeter shopping plaza. Brought a large group here and they were extra accomodating to us with all of the silliness that goes on with a 12 person group. Food came out quickly, hot and delicious. Beverages were never empty. Really love the tuna-peno roll which is a little spicy! Will definitely return.“
“Absolutely amazing food!!! We order from here sporadically because it’s a bit expensive but absolutely worth the money when we do. The hibachi dinner (we’ve done filet mignon, steak, chicken and shrimp) is incredible and totally worth the price!“
“First off it took me forever to figure out that this place was opened...because the open sign is so tiny and not let properly. It wasn't until I walked up to the door and actually looked in I saw the staff and a few other people go inside. Now as many of these places on a strip mall situation it is a tiny space. They definitely made due with the space they had work for them. Nobody will greet up and I learned that the hard way. Because I didn't know how the system worked I just grabbed the form, sat down, marked what I wanted and handed it to the only women that seemed to work there. She asked me was it to go. I was like no...so she then proceeded to take me to a sitting area near the back and gave me a menu.Because I was so hungry and wanted a little bit of everything I opted to finally try the soft shell crab appetizer which was not good at all unfortunately. Tasted really burnt and was very small. I then got the plum wine...very sweet like I remember, tuna roll, Philly roll, spic yellow with cream cheese, and fatty tuna belly. All rolls tasted amazing and fresh so that was a plus for me! By and all I will definitely be back to same other rolls and get more of that cold plum wine...“
“Lots and lots of food options (don’t forget to look at their Menu Specials, separate from their regular menu). Loved that their menu was marked for dietary restrictions (I.e., GF) so we did not have to ask additional on how the dish was prepared. The server was very attentive and all dishes came out fast and fresh. Absolutely loved their garlic fried rice, good to have in addition to sushi rolls.Dietary restrictions: Menu is marked with all GF options.“
“Stopped into Kumo for some sushi and this place was popping! There were not many empty tables but I happened to find one and decided to eat inside the restaurant instead of takeout. The restaurant had a sushi specials menu as well as regular rolls; Thai, Chinese, and hibachi entrees. I could not make a a decision on what I wanted but ended up ordering the chicken with broccoli with fried rice. The fried rice is $1 extra. The chicken and broccoli came out hot! The texture of the chicken was a little off. The rice didn't come out at the same time as my entree. I also ordered the Pokémon roll. The roll was huge and very delicious. I wish the waitress would have brought out the roll and just waited for the rice to come out at the same time. I would definitely be back to try more of what Kumo has to offer.“
“We were treated exceptionally well as soon as we entered the building. The kindness of our waitress went far beyond a casual dining service. The effort she put into making our experience feel comfortable and welcoming was well deserving of my time and pleasure. Thank you so much for the kindness you showed us tonight.?“
“My family and I come here at least twice a month and would be here weekly if we lived closer. They have the best sushi in NOVA. We’ve tried several places and this is the only place that comes close to sushi we’ve had on the west coast. Their fish is always fresh and they season their rice to perfection. They have lots of tasty looking dishes on their menu but the sushi is so good we have yet to try anything else.“
“I have been coming to Koi Koi since they opened seventeen years ago. In all this time I never had a bad experience here. The food is fresh and amazing. The staff is friendly and officiant. Very welcoming and warmKid-friendliness: Extremely family oriented“
“The woman forgot to closely track my order. The order was made and she forgot that it was my order. I waited at least an extra 15 minutes. Only til I looked at a package that it was my order. Of course, now I get home and I am missing my yellow tail sashimi. Poor service and quality control of take out orders.“
“It was my first time here. I got the og musubi and the og salmon onigiri. Pleasantly surprised with the og musubi, it tastes pretty similar to how my family made them growing up. The og salmon onigiri was okay. It tastes more like a salmon/egg salad more than a traditional Japanese salmon onigiri. highly recommend the og musubi if you want something similar to the traditional Hawaiian dish“
“This is hands-down the best sushi ever. Their fish is fresh and tastes different (in a good way) than anywhere else.The service is always very thoughtful in where they seat you, when they bring out the food, and asking you what you'd like. Above and beyond.The atmosphere, is very peaceful and relaxing. A fantastic place for lunch or dinner. I wouldn't label this place as a "nice" restaurant, it's definitely more "mom and pop", but that's not at all a bad thing, it's just not flashy, certainly no flaming cocktails or waiters in suits. Again, not at all a bad thing“
“The best sushi in Burke, hands down. The owners are super friendly and well-connected in the community. I recommend getting one of the boxes to try a couple different things & if you have a large group/party, the sushi platter is unreal and tastes amazing.“
“After months of experimenting looking for our new sushi spot since moving to Fairfax, excited to say we have found it. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, the menu choices diverse and the staff attentive. Bonus: the decor adds an amazing dash of zen to the whole experience.“
“I go to this place pretty often, and always have great sushi! I like to get the selection of sashimi, but everything I've had is good, and always quickly prepared for pickup. Definitely recommend this small place, for pickup or dine-in“
“They had the biggest and crispest Korean fried wings I've had in VA. Service was amazing, food is a bit pricey, but for the quality you'll see that it's worth every penny. Definitely recommend this place to all looking for good “
“This place is so good! The presentation is gorgeous, service is great, and the portions were large. Best sushi I have had outside of a Michelin-starred omakase experience. I almost can’t believe that there is sushi this good in a grocery store food court, but I’m glad there is!“
“It's wonderful to reminisce about our lovely lunch with friends at this restaurant. Although the food was delightful, it could be even better. The menu was extensive, offering various options, and all dishes were freshly prepared. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was delightful.We look forward to returning and enjoying another memorable meal.“
