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

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! They undoubtedly offer the best ramen in the area, and the creative desserts like the raindrop mochi are a must-try. The service was excellent, and the cozy atmosphere added to the overall dining experience. The only minor issue was that the seating was tight, and it was difficult to have a private conversation at my table. However, that didn't take away from the overall experience, and I would love to go back and try more dishes.Parking: Free parking lot in the back but it gets full fast especially on the weekend.

One of the best restaurants that I been to!A cozy place with good service, clean and very yummy food.We try California rolls and tempura ice cream the tempura was just ok too soft for my liking, I Like more crunchy, but the rest of the food was delicious.The service was exceptional, except for a lady who helped us at the start, I told her that was our first time there and that we need time to check the menu, but she come every second to ask if we are ready. That irritated me cause I come to a restaurant to relax not to be rush by the server, then the young lady took our order and everything was fine. Everyone is nice there except that lady.I would will back every time that I have a chance.

Food was ok but was not worth with how little you get. Got a udon which was more Vegetables than udon. At least give the amount of a full pack of udon. For Unagi, they gave literally give a 1/3 of a strip of unagi. Folks here running to the bank with this one!!

By far the best ramen I've ever had. Now that I'm away at college this restaurant is one of the things I miss most about home, I can't find any other Japanese place that has as good an atmosphere and food as

This place has amazing sushi. Melt-in-your-mouth salmon nigiri that we get about once month and it's always great. We love the miso soup too. We get takeout mostly, but the restaurant itself is cute and clean and the staff is friendly. I definitely recommend.

Always a good time. Lunch specials a great deal. Alcohol expensive but whatevs. Having fun on broad street but feeling like Okinawa—speaking of: try the Okinawa soba (soup). Very traditional seasoning to broth.

We got the 15-piece Sushi Deluxe platter and the Okonomiyaki and everything was delicious. Very nice little restaurant with super nice ambience as well. Will come back again for sure.Kid-friendliness: We came here with our baby and had no problem putting his car seat next to us in the table
Amazing GEM in the middle of the Falls Church! Everything that we order was delicious!

Ordered for take out. I got the chirashi bowl. The salmon and egg were good but the tuna was sinewy and yellowtail smelled fishy. I was surprised by the amount of rice given for the 4pc tempura bento box. Expensive lunch but average meal.
