The fish was fresh and rice was perfect. I was in heaven and so happy to take some with me too since I didn't finish it all. Enjoying this twice is so awesome. Thanks for providing such great sashimi and sushi. I wish I could eat more so I could get a ramen too. Someday...but for now it is the fish that keeps me coming back...and the fabulous service and kind people. Energy there is always so relaxing and rejuvenating. If you haven't tried it yet, I would recommend you do!

It was my first time trying fried oysters, and they absolutely did not disappoint! They were incredibly delicious and one of my favorite parts of the meal. I'll definitely be coming back for them. The atmosphere was also fantastic. The decor is adorable, and the music selection made the experience even more enjoyable. They played a mix of current hits and great throwbacks from the 2000s, which created such a fun and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was amazing. Even though she appeared to be having a long and busy shift, she consistently checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner. We really appreciated her attentiveness and kindness. The only downside was parking. There wasn't any available directly in front, so we ended up parking in the Walmart garage and paying $12. We forgot to ask whether the restaurant offers parking validation or a voucher, so that's something future guests may want to check on. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a great birthday celebration. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing. We ordered off of the special menu. We ordered the Alaska salmon roll and the black snapper sushi. The black snapper sushi was a little salty but had great flavor. The Alaskan salmon was delicious and filling. The ambiance was nice. The restaurant was huge. They not only offered sushi but they had hibachi as well. The customers having hibachi seem to be having a great time. It was a great experience. I will be back soon.

We came here for a family birthday celebration because that's what the birthday person chose, lol…read more We were a party of seven, and it was fairly busy for a Tuesday night. FOOD: The menu is pretty straightforward. You order your entrée, and you can get a single protein or a combination of proteins. Choices include chicken, beef, tofu, shrimp, or salmon. Everything comes with an appetizer choice of mushrooms or chicken livers, and then you have a choice of steamed white rice or fried rice, and your meal is also accompanied by a miso soup and a salad with a ginger dressing. You are also given two different sauces to dip your food in, should you so desire: one is a ginger sauce, and the other is a special sauce - that's what they call it - and I'm not really sure what's in it, but it's kind of like an Asian inspired thousand island sauce is the best way to describe it. SERVICE: Our server, Rose, was the bees' knees!!! Our chef was great too & I don't know his name, but he was a little less lively than others, but I think that's because we were a bunch of adults only lol. AMBIANCE: All in all, everything was great, and our party enjoyed their meals. I personally thought everything kind of tasted the same. Not a place I would frequent, and it is kind of expensive, but you do get a lot for what you pay for, and it is definitely a fun place to go to for a celebratory occasion. Keep in mind the tables are in a U shape, so it's really hard to be present with your entire party, and whatever side you're on, you feel like you're on your own little island, which is a little disappointing for a birthday celebration, but we still had fun and made it work the best we could. The restaurant was clean, but you felt like you're going back in time. The ambience was casual yet very lively and fun. 3/1/26

Their Sukiyaki and Original Abura Soba has been by go to. I'd recommend getting the chili oil to complete the taste if you are ok with a little spicy. The marinated beef was cooked to perfection in the Sukiyaki. I also tried their seaweed salad which tasted fresh and had the right amount of seasoning. And their Takoyaki was cooked perfectly and had a good amount of octopus inside. Restaurant inside is bit on the small side but they do have bar counter-style seating too. Tables have been on the cleaner side compared to other restaurants of this price range. Parking is easy too, being a large shared parking lot. Service has been good both times I went with attentive staff and they also know when to leave you alone.

I am also gluten free - and they were super helpful with what I could eat with being both gluten free and pregnant! I had cooked meat and sides, with miso soup and edamame. We briefly spoke with the owner who said some of their food is flown in from Japan. Amazing!!! Now that I'm not pregnant anymore- we will be coming back to eat more off the menu, particularly their sushi :D The ambiance was great and stylish, and parking was easy for us right in front of the restaurant.

I decided to give this a try since my go to Japanese place in McLean has a boring bento box. While…read moreSho's bento box was a bit nicer, I was disappointed with the following: *Miso soup is diluted! For a sushi or bento box meal, a good miso soup is a must. *The box was tiny: I expect to be full when I consume a bento box. Sho's was much smaller than what most Japanese restaurants serve in the DMV area. *Kara age is certainly not their forte and was one of the worse ones I've had in this area Additionally, they only sell a $12 large pot of hot tea for a group, and I was surprised. They should serve a single cup size for solo diners or for a party of 2. I got an eel avocado roll to be full after finishing my bento box. While service was great, this place is way overpriced and I will stick with my regular Japanese spots.

The American Wagyu was the best--buttery, perfectly marbled, melts in your mouth. The lamb chops were insane too tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked.

We tried: Vegetarian ramen 5/5-with one big piece of marinated tofu, pickled plum, and menma in a soy based creamy and soft broth. So much better than the chaotic vegetarian ramens out there overloaded with chunks of tofu, corn, and shoots and broccoli and what not. Tonkotsu Kara Miso--3/5-balanced spice level, comforting miso broth, could do with more broth volume, pork was done well. Kids combo meal--6/5-star of the show. With a little bowl of ramen, 4 gyoza or karaage (japanese fried chicken), a marinated boiled egg, a bottle of Yakult (popular probiotic dairy based drink popular in parts of Asia), you have an engaged and happy kid. Top that off with their collect three stamps for a free snack program and you have a returning family. Group was split on texture of noodles, two loved it while one felt they could be softer. Service was humble, attentive, kind.

Modan: A Pleasant Modern Japanese Lunch…read more Tucked into a prime Tysons location, Modan makes a polished first impression with its sleek, modern décor and attentive service. Its $30 three-course prix fixe lunch is designed as an approachable introduction to the restaurant's modern Japanese cooking. Started with the Yellowtail Jalapeño and Salmon Carpaccio--both quite fine, with distinctly different textures and a clever Japanese sensibility. The Filet Mignon with truffle sauce was tender and nicely cooked, with a subtle ponzu-like Japanese accent. The truffle presence, however, was rather restrained--almost playing hide-and-seek on the plate. The added sashimi plate was above average: the fish was fresh and well handled, though not necessarily more distinctive than what one might find at other good Japanese restaurants. Dessert was equally pleasant: the mochi and gelato were both above average without being particularly revelatory. Overall, Modan delivers a polished, enjoyable lunch experience. I liked it--and would happily return to explore more of the menu.

Review is for father's day brunch buffet. Having to charge the entire amount $95+20% tip (minus…read moretax) to rsvp is ridiculous. There wasn't even enough information on what all was to be offered, nor what entree selection there would be. I reached out via social media to ask but never got a response. In a sense, you're going in blindly not knowing what to expect. I've never been here, so I figured, if it's good, I'll come back for dinner. The place is clean, modern, has clean bathroom which is always a plus. Negative is the parking situation, which is common in that area. The chair's were the most uncomfortable I've ever sat in. The back support is so low, when you lean back to feels like its going to snap your spine in half. I couldn't even lean back as a result. As for the food, it was mediocre at best. Definitely not worth anywhere near the $95 price tag. I don't eat fried foods, which made up most of the starters. The rolls were underwhelming, the nigiri was decent but there was only 4 options, shrimp, salmon, tuna, yellow tail. How many of those can you keep eating before it gets boring. The oyster's were very good. The wagyu dumpling I didn't eat due to being fried but they super gimmicky. One of those instagram foods that looks good on camera but doesn't deliver. Those who did eat them said they were not good. I couldn't wrap my head around how small the main entree portions were. It was like 1 big bite or 2 small bites. The positive was they kept refreshing all the food keeping it fresh. End of the day, I walked out unsatisfied, feeling like I got ripped off. It is what it is, not good enough that I would come back.
