41 Best Japanese Restaurants near Reston

“Sooooo GOOD! Great presentation and they had so many different selections of sashimi and sushi as well as rolls. thank you very much!“

“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!“

“I've been here only once and enjoyed the service, food, and atmosphere of the restaurant. The food is fun to order with all the options to choose from. It's a small place with limited seating, but I was able to find seating during my visit. PokeHub is located across the street from Reston Town Square park, where community events are held throughout the year and where you can spend time at any time during the year. In fact, this is how I found out about PokeHub: I was volunteering at the temporarily relocated Reston Multicultural Festival and while on a break, I grabbed lunch inside here. Great find!Parking: This place is located at Reston Town Center. For the garages, parking is free at Reston Town Center for your first hour, after 5p on weekdays, and free on weekends. For street parking, it's free on Sundays. All other times, you must pay for parking using the RTC app.“

“Wow. Generous portions, affordable, bento box was still piping hot, and all very tasty. Bento house knocked it out of the park, definitely ordering again. These guys know what’s up.I had already started munchin before I took the photo, there’s even more than what you see here!“

“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!“

“nowadays, when hot pot restaurants come to mind, AYCE hot pot locations are most prevalent. this location does hot pot a little different -- all sets come with a predetermined platter of noodles & veggies (napa, enoki mushroom, spinach, broccoli, carrots, tofu, glass noodles, udon), and the price of what you order is determined by what course you order (beef, chicken, seafood, veggie). it's a good introduction to hot pot if you haven't had it before food: you can pick broth upgrades for a price. i picked spicy miso + tonkotsu, and i really liked it. i got the standard beef (9 pieces): it was a whole plate of thinly sliced beef. i have an allergy to peanuts, so i only received the ponzu sauce. the other has sesame and peanut sauce. the ponzu pairs excellently with the hot pot course. you also get a bowl of rice, which i was surprised by (growing up, i never really had rice with hot pot) ambiance: i really liked the decor. it felt a little bit like a bar with its dimmer lighting and neon lighting. was not expecting the seating to be entirely like a bar, so best for small parties. service was prompt and friendly!“

“My spouse and I have been dining or carrying out at Hama Sushi since we started dating in 1995. When we had children, we did carry out for date nights in. We introduced our kids to Hama Sushi as littles and, now as young adults, they still enjoy coming dining here as well.One of them has a shellfish allergy and the staff is very good at accommodating the allergy. We’ve never had a problem.The sushi is very fresh, the selection is abundant, and the food is beautifully presented. They also have a few kinds of dumplings, ramen and other noodle dishes.It’s the best sushi place in the area IMO.“

“My long awaited review... so sorry to whoever served me that day because it's been a bit and I've forgotten your name (apologies please). This is my 5th time eating at Gyu Shige as my last two times were in the Rockville location. It was a busy night but my server was quick and responsive by bringing our requested meat dishes, and explaining their personal favorites for drinks and appetizers. Restaurant setting, in my opinion, has been the same, with conversations left and right --truly withholding the essence of Japanese bbq which is enjoying the fine meats cooked for you but also chatting with friends and family. For anyone who seems to be stuck on the price. You just have to understand that "you get what you pay for" meaning every dime you spend on this meal, the experience and food are definitely worth while. That's all I have to say and I hope other people have the same positive experience I had!“

“Great sushi, fantastic service. We ordered 6 specialty rolls to share among 4 people for a light dinner. They were all very good. The service was amazing; the server was friendly and very attentive. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated; I only took off one star off of atmosphere because they were playing annoying 'elevator' music that made me roll my eyes on several occasions. Definitely not a deal breaker though! We tried this because our old favorite sushi place closed. I'll definitely come back to Sushi Umi!Vegetarian options: There is a small section of vegetarian sushi. I forgot to look at the entree section of the menu.“

“Very tasty! Nice new hole in wall.“

“After reading positive reviews on Google, we decided to try out this Japanese restaurant in Oakton. We opted for the Sushi & Sashimi Set for Two, which included eight pieces of sushi, ten pieces of sashimi, a California roll, and a shrimp tempura roll. We were both impressed with the food quality; the sashimi was incredibly fresh and melted in our mouths, while the sushi rice was perfectly seasoned and of excellent quality. The portion size was generous, and the set also came with complimentary salad and miso soup, which were both fresh and flavorful. For our appetizer, we had Agedash Tofu, which was perfectly cooked and had an outstanding balance of flavor. Our server provided excellent service, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, with a minimal design and warm wood-toned furniture that created an authentic Japanese atmosphere. We plan to return to try more dishes in the future.“

“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“

“Was recommended to eat here, and I'm SO glad I did! Immediately greeted by everyone! SO friendly & welcoming! I went on a Monday at 5PM, there was one lady seated on the opposite side of the restaurant, it never got crowded or loud. Servers are attentive to your needs. Very kind & sweet servers, warm & friendly! The food-- amazing!!! I ordered 7 different sushi rolls, they were all prepared very well & truly delicious. QUALITY you can tell & taste! The "Akira Moonlight" is my favorite, I've never had sushi with scallop in it & it's a MUST TRY! This is one of the VERY few sushi restaurants around the Ashburn area that's high quality, authentic & worth what you pay for.“

“I recently took my mom to a restaurant for ramen, and we both liked it. The broth had a good balance of flavors and wasn't too salty. We ordered some other dishes to try, and they were all good. The restaurant's interior was surprisingly lovely, which we couldn't see from outside. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch.“

“Heard great things about this sushi spot, so finally made a visit. The sushi was fresh and very good! A large selection of different fishes and daily specials. The apps and ramen were good, but nothing out of this world. Our server was also great as well, walking us through the best things to get. Apps: Takoyaki and Tempura Entrees: Assorted Sushi/Sashimi and Tonkotsu Ramen“

“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“

“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.“

“We searched for a sushi restaurant in Herndon and found one with great reviews. We decided to try it for lunch and were thoroughly impressed with the food! We started with a delicious miso soup with a well-balanced miso and bonito broth. It had a savory taste that we both enjoyed. We also tried the Mari Mari Roll, a signature house roll consisting of shrimp tempura, tuna, salmon, and avocado, topped with baked scallops - it was incredible! We ordered a sushi and sashimi combo for two, a Chirashi bowl, and two pieces of chef's special Uni Hokkaido. The Uni Hokkaido had a burst of ocean fragrance in the mouth with a subtle sweetness, and it was just perfect. All the dishes came with high-quality fresh fish that were firm and shiny, indicating that they were fresh, and everything was delicious as each bite melted in our mouths! The service was excellent, and the interior ambiance was modern and stylish, with dim lighting and jazz music playing in the background. It made our lunch a unique and delightful experience.“

“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.“

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

“the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, and the staff were extremely kind and polite, and they gave us spring rolls on the house! the only thing i found room for improvement for was that there was a bit too much sauce on some of the food, which overwhelmed the overall taste, but other than that small detail it was incredible! the best japanese restaurant ive ever been to!“

“After dining at numerous sushi restaurants, I can confidently say that Murasaki remains my favorite. Their Salmon Lover platter is a true masterpiece, consistently my go-to choice. In my opinion, Murasaki's salmon achieves the perfect balance in texture, fattiness, and flavor. Additionally, their rice is infused with the perfect amount of vinegar . During my latest visit, I tried the Three Amigos roll, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and impressive it was. It even made me consider expanding my usual order beyond the Salmon Lover. The staff at Murasaki were incredibly friendly, warm smiles. They checked in with us regularly and made sure our drinks were promptly refilled. Overall, Murasaki offers not only exceptional sushi but also outstanding service.“

“Good sushi and good service.“

“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!“

“Wow, this place is a gem! How did we not discover this place earlier??!! We ordered 1 appetizer (potato shrimp...yum, the sauce!!) and 5 dishes (4 different katsus and ddukbokee) and every one of them was a winner! I loved the little nuisance of the chef's touches to the food...you can tell there was thought and care that went inti each sauce, food, entree, etc. Snow Katsu is a must! So refreshing! The sweet onion sauce was a perfect accompaniment to the tender crispy katsu! We will def be back in no time, for sure!!“

“What a wonderful dinner we just had at YamaChen's. it was a lovely experience from beginning to end. Relaxing atmosphere, amazing staff, and of course, the sushi was divine. Thank you so much, for a wonderful, interesting, and tasty meal!“

“Incredible find. Each person has their own cooker. I focused on the seafood, scallops, octopus and squid while the others were more meatcentric. Had a reservation for 9 and were seated immediately once everyone had arrived. Noon on a Saturday. Loud modern music seems to be the trend in most AYCE Hot Pot restaurants we've frequented across the country. Makes for a modern vibe. Definitely recommend this place.“

“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!“

“Celebrated my wife’s birthday at this sushi spot and we were blown away by the food and service. Our order, captured in the photo, showcased a creative and delicious assortment of sushi. The staff made the occasion extra special with complimentary miso soup and dessert. It was a delightful experience that we’d highly recommend.“

“Been here a handful of times. It's a decent go to for Japanese bento boxes and sushi at a decent price. Actually, the price is really good for the portion and food always seems to come out in a timely fashion. Quality is consistent and the taste is pretty good. Service is always friendly and the place always looks clean. They have so many sushi options to choose from and there's like 5 or so different bento boxes. There's a variety of items on the menu that caters to everyone's palette and dietary needs.“

“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.“

“We just ate here on a business trip. The food was so delicious we came back the next night. I had the sushi roll with bacon on it and then seared salmon belly. Absolutely delicious!! The service was great as well! Super convenient location.“

“I recently had a meal at a restaurant with a friend and noticed some changes since our last visit. The interior decor had become more straightforward, with dark green walls replacing the previously abundant dark wooden furniture. It also appeared that the restaurant was undergoing some renovation. We also noticed that the back wall of the sushi bar counter was now adorned with white tiles. Furthermore, the restaurant has more Japanese dishes than Korean cuisine.The food we had was decent, but it had the potential to be better. The house salad was passable, although it had a slightly sweet taste. While the sashimi was not the freshest, it still had a good overall flavor. We enjoyed the Korean Rib Hot Stone Rice, as it was warm and savory. The pickled radish and kimchi on the side were perfectly fermented and had a nice crunchy texture.Parking: There is a free parking lot behind the building.“

“Tempura is excellent . I had the steak deluxe bento and daughter got the chicken. We share the shrimp and vegetable tempura which was excellent but the dipping sauce was very small .I think my daughter’s chicken was better than my steak which was a tad chewy. I didn’t get hot mustard with my spring roll which made its bit bland. Wasabi portion was so small that I could not even taste it. The food was typical for this price point, but the 45 minutes drive puts it too far out for a repeat visit.“

“Yummy… love their presentation and fresh food!“

“Great Food! Good service“

“The service is super quick, and the food is well worth the prices. I love the fluffiness of their onigiri--it's a simple snack, but one that keeps me coming back! The food is flavorful and has a really fun presentation for dining in. Lovely plates and bowls and pretty cool chopsticks. 1.6 starsThe atmosphere for dine-in eating is nice too. It's in a Lotte supermarket as part of the "epiQ Food Hall". Somehow though, the space has a vibe entirely of its own, separate from the hustle and bustle of noisy shoppers. You can definitely have a comfortable meal dining in with your friends, or a nice one-on-one lunch with your partner. 1.6 stars.If I had to detract full points from a 5 star review, it would be on price. The prices are not bad for what you get, but they could stand to be a dollar or two cheaper on some of the larger meals. I think that would really round this place out as a 5 star spot for quick Japanese food that doesn't skimp on portions, but also brings a quality meal to the table.Overall, I'd say 4.8 stars.“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“amazing flavors. so many options and quick service. will be back“

“A favorite of mine for an early or a late lunch-the value can't be beat! The sushi at Miyama is the standard by which I rate any other. The lunch special at $9.95 for 2 rolls or the $12.95 bento box that includes soup and salad are great value for a light but filling lunch. Because the restaurant is right up the street from my home I'm a regular and always warmly greeted and taken well care of by the owners. Note: they close for an hour or two between lunch and dinnertime.“

“Great food , friendly staff“
