We really like this place. We found out on UberEats and came another day to eat here. The food is very fresh and tasty. The service was great and they accommodated us with a stroller for dinner. The associates are all friendly. I recommend this place. The soft shell crabs are incredible. Very fresh and I love the sauce it comes with.

This has become our go-to sushi place! It does not disappoint. Great quality, great value, and wonderful staff. They also usually give out a free serving of their house special (soybean) roll and sometimes we even gotten to try another sample of their menu. Its a smaller location but a hidden gem in a plaza right off 270 and Montrose. We usually park in the garage under the adjoining Harris Teeter for 2 hour free parking.
It was an awesome experience. Thank you for great service and excellent food!

Best sushi around hands down. Amazing owners serving high-quality fresh sushi. I have been a customer since 2006 when they were located on westbard. Nobody can beat them.

I ordered a takeout order of several rolls and a Bulgogi Dinner. At home, I realized that I did not get the Gyoza and California Roll that comes with the meal. I had already finished the meal. I call them and since the Roll & Gyoza was valued at $14, I suggested they just credit my order for $10. The owner refused and insisted I return for the roll & Gyoza. She refused to give me any credit even though she acknowledged that they had made a mistake and had given me a Bulgogi dinner with Miso Soup instead. She kept repeating that I had gotten an equivalent meal so they didn't owe me any credit. After about 10 mins. of them continually repeating their arguments, I finally said I would contact my credit card and dispute the charge. Only then did she agree to credit me for $10, however, she said she would charge her employee for the mistake. I did not want an employee who probably earns minimum wage to pay for the $10. As a result, I was forced to return to the restaurant and get the roll and Gyoza. I've worked in many restaurants in my younger days and whenever a mistake was made the restaurant compensated the customer and often provided additional items as a goodwill gesture. This owner was combative and dismissive. Her attitude is mystifying given all the good sushi restaurants nearby. I will refuse to patronize them in the future and advise all my family and friends to do the same.

Food portions are good. Family friendly. Sushi is fresh. The only comment is the roll comes apart easily.
My husband and I went to Yirasai Sushi & Cafe in Park Potomac. We used to dine at the Bethesda location! They moved to a better location with more parking. We shared Agedashi Tofu, Sunomono Salad, Yirasai Chef's Special Sashimi, Hawaiian Sunset Roll, Futomaki, and Seafood Combo Teriyaki. I liked how the entrees came with a miso soup and house salad. Our only complaints were the futomaki was not what we expected it to be. It only had egg omelet, asparagus, and cucumber. It was missing marinated kanpyo, shiitake mushrooms, spinach, and Japanese yellow pickled radish.

We have ordered takeout from here countless times but I think today will make us take a break from Yirasai for a good while. Today, there was something off about everything we ordered. Super Spicy Crazy Roll- shrimp had a HUGE digestive line still in it. I know I've probably eaten it before plenty of times elsewhere, but todays was really bad. It takes 5 seconds to use a toothpick and pull it out before cooking. I know I wont die from it but it's just something restaurants should do, especially if you're serving something that's supposed to look nice. California Rolls- literally just a pinch of imitation crab meat and underripe avocados (was like biting into an eraser). Avocado rolls- See above... my 2 year old couldn't even bite into the avocado and that monster takes chunks out of my arm. Salmon roll- Sooo friggin chewy. Either they left some brown part on the orange meat or they but the fish in the microwave to defrost and it cooked the meat. Who knows. Cucumber roll- pretty much all the skins of the cucumbers. It was so tough to eat. I'm not sure what happened today, but it was enough to turn me off to this place for a while.

A long wait for terrible sushi (probably the worst I have had at this price point in years). All the rolls were doused in spicy mayo sauce and the quality of the fish was not very fresh/questionable. The meal came with a complimentary, but forgettable soybean roll (also doused in spicy mayo sauce).They provided us with an order of edamame (since they likely pushed back our order for what appears to be a bustling takeout business or forgot about our order altogether).We appreciate the effort, but we will not be returning. There are so many sushi options nearby with better quality fish and service.

Really good sushi and service. A bit on the pricey side. Would like to see the menu more organized. It was difficult to figure out our order especially sashimi options. The lunch menu would benefit from offering 2 or 3 rolls for a price. Super fast food delivery to our table and a nice little taste bonus. Atmosphere was very average.Parking: You have to pay attention to the signs. The lot right in front says Harris Teeter only and the street parking is 1/2 hour.
