40 Best Japanese Restaurants in Virginia Beach

“Our family has been coming here since we moved to LagoMar in 2019…the food has been fantastic every time. We recently had an incident with our order with Uber Eats, and Selena and the staff made it right without hesitation. Needless to say, Uber Eats will not be getting our business anymore…but we will continue to be loyal customers to Sakura. Thank you again Selena and team for the understanding and outstanding service!“

I am one happy customer! Thank you!“

Everything from appetizers, to the entree, and desert was so delicious and beautiful. Service was amazing. They even had a live piano player which was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a special night out. Thank you YamaChen for a great night.“

“My wife and I just ate here while passing through on our way south. Really amazing sushi - they do a fantastic job!
I should also mention that they are the nicest people and Uni (spelling?) was kind enough to give our kids a little treat and some stickers. They really care about what they do.
Go here!“

“I ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll and the Christmas Tree Roll. Both were very good. Fresh and delicious; and presentation was cute. The service was amazing. Attentive, friendly, and accommodating. An overall great experience. Would definitely recommend.“

“I’ve been a customer of Flaming Japan for over 10 years. For the price, this place can’t be beat. I normally get the teriyaki chicken, with plain fried rice, vegetables, and double chicken. It comes out to be $12-$13, the food tastes great, and the portions are very generous. The beef is amazing too! Anytime I order this and bring it to work everyone comments about how great it smells and ask “where did you get that?!” I’ve sent many coworkers there and they’ve all become fans of this place. Definitely check it out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Loved stopping here on a whim instead of the other fast foods around it. Super quiet but friendly inside! The food was super good ! The yum yum sauce was tasty! I ordered the chicken and shrimp with tax it was 18.xx not bad but I wish the portion of steak had been bigger. I also did not see anywhere that it said the steak would have mushrooms! Thankfully the flavor wasn’t too strong since it was a to go order! Will go back again just be sure to skip the mushrooms!“

“Very good tásate, nice service, fast service“

“Best Japanese AYCE in Hampton Roads! The staff always do a great job.“

“No need to go elsewhere! This is the best around! Just had lunch and got complimentary miso soup, volcano roll and dessert. Couldn't finish my shrimp fried rice - portion was huge! Outstanding service, delicious, fresh food and immaculate restaurant!“

“First time ever going . From walking into the doors to leaving . We had nothing but great customer service . We didn’t make reservations and had a seat for 7 ready in 10 minutes . While they were already busy . Everyone was friendly . Our server was new but wouldn’t know it because she was great . Our chef was AMAZING ! Everyone LOVED him. Food was PREFECT! All of kids had a blast . The shims catching in the mouth game was a big hit . My youngest daughter was glued the whole time and already asking to go back to see fire and the nice food man. Even leaving the host was taking to my 9 month old son. While going to my car to feed to my son one of the workers even offered to let me feed in his office because it’s cold out . I just loved the family vibe . I highly recommend if you are looking for a great place . Also sushi was on point too! Nothing but positive feed back here . Thank you for the workers and their great experience“

“Their food is so delicious 🤤 🤤🤤🤤“

“I was excited to see they had general shrimp on the menu. I ordered it and it tasted a little freezer burnt. I sent it back and got chicken instead. The manager was accommodating and I appreciate that. I would recommend this place, seems like a nice vibe.“

“This place is great. The potions are huge. The veggies and sauce are fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff. 10 % off for all teachers and first responders.“

“Super cute place. Excellent service & amazing food! Highly recommend!“

“Stopped by on a Wednesday around 11 AM and had a really great experience. Service was friendly and efficient, and my food came out quickly. The restaurant was also very clean inside, which I always appreciate.

I ordered the volcano roll and the chicken bento box. The bento was just over $11 and felt like a generous portion for the price. Everything tasted fresh, the chicken was cooked well with great flavor, and the vegetables were perfectly done.

Overall, this was exactly what I was looking for in a quick lunch spot, good portions, fresh food, fast service, and a clean environment. I'd definitely come back again.“

“Went on a Saturday around five for dinner with some coworkers. The young man that waited on us was so patient and kind with us cackling females. He was able to get all our orders correct without making a mistake despite the fact that we never stopped talking between orders. Everything tasted great. I would have taken pictures but was a bit tipsy and having to good of a time 👍✌“

“Food was delicious, and having my meal cooked right in front of me was amazing!“

“Omg such good food ! We fed the whole family with appetizers for 70$ and we got to customize our bowls the kids loved the noodles. It was so fresh and the way it was delivered was crazy!! Had a reusable tote bag and the bowls came in little holders. So much attention to detail“
