So My wife and I impulsively decided to get Japanese food and picked this place just because it was nearby. Vegetarian Friendly: I'm vegetarian so the menu is kind of limited for me, but I was surprised to see they still have some really good options. Not sure I'd call it a full-on vegetarian friendly place, but there's enough there that I'd definitely go back, no problem. Decor: Really liked the place, very nice. Food Ordered: A bunch of apps, a Thai red curry (funny to get that at a Japanese spot, but that's what I went with), one of their specialty sushi rolls for my wife, and a seaweed salad. Food Breakdown: Overall everything was pretty solid. Portion Size: We left very full -- we were expecting to spend a lot more, but the price and amount of food we got was pretty well done. Service: Not too bad. Wouldn't say the best servers I've ever had, but the lady got the job done -- nothing super special. Price: Pretty good for a Japanese place. Also a cool feature: if you pay cash, they give you an 8% discount, which is a solid chunk of money when you think about it compared to credit card purchasing. Would I go Back: For sure yes -- it's nearby and the food was good enough to make it worth going back for. Overall, great spot. read more

I have frequented this restaurant for the last several years. It has changed owners and the new owners are very different from the previous owners with how they treat their customers. I thought I could deal with it but today have decided that I will not any longer. They have raised their prices many times in the last couple of years and started charging a convenience fee. I have still continued to go there but tonight being rudely talked to by the owner when trying to order food over the phone for out of town guests unfamiliar with their menu was it. read more

Ate last night along with two friends. One had a noodle bowl which he said was very good. The other person and myself Ordered the salmon with veggies, miso soup and side salad. My friend also ordered a tuna roll. I ate and enjoy my whole dinner. Both friends enjoyed theirs. My daughter and I will enjoy Fó Bistro again. She always orders Mr. Mango. Ambiance and service added to the comfort. read more

My family and I have eaten here a few times and the customer service has drastically declined. The food is ok, the decor of the restaurant is nice, but the customer service is subpar at best. Recently, I placed an order online for the beef ramen via DoorDash and when I arrived, to my shock, the person working the register did not want to give me my food, the reason being because I paid through DoorDash and not directly with Fo Bistro. After some back and forth, it came to light that the same dish I paid $24.43 via DoorDash, costs $18.95 in store. When I asked about the difference in price, Ashley and Danny, Fo Bistro's employees, blamed the price difference on fees from DoorDash. For clarification, I called DoorDash and was told no such fees exist and the businesses set the prices and not DoorDash. This entire time, they've been overcharging on DoorDash and not being open about charging customers an additional amount to pay through DoorDash. This is beyond sneaky and disingenuous on Fo Bistro's part. read more

Super friendly. I came in for lunch on a Tuesday and was only one there. I ordered a lunch bento box with fried tempura, California roll, rice, and dumplings. It was good but I've definitely had better. It came with a choice or soup or salad. Asked for recommendations of their special rolls. Ended up with the torch roll. It had Spicy tuna, avocado, crunchy inside, topped with fresh salmon and mayo, seared with eel sauce and masago. It was good. The inside was dark but had a nice ambiance. Overall I wish I loved it more, but will be back. I would like to try more food from here. read more

The ramen noodle is what got me. I have been here a few times and have tried their chicken teriyaki Bento box and a few of their sushi. I think I even took home a beef teriyaki bento box. But what I really love is the Ramen noodle soup - just filling and comforting. The service has always been wonderful. The decor is cute, and the ambiance is wonderful. I'm feeling the red tones all over the restaurant. It's casual yet elegant. 4 something stars. read more

I haven't been here in at least 4 years and I'm so happy that they are still open. They have some of the best sushi in Woodbridge. I got the crazy yellow tail roll and the shrimp tempura roll. They were both delicious. I also got the spicy miso roman with chicken. It was so rich and flavorful. My husband got the Thai Basil shrimp fried rice and he really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back soon. Oh and the service and ambience were great. No complaints at all about either. read more

I've been coming here since they first moved to the area and it has consistently been quality and professional, every visit. This is the place to go for a nice celebratory meal. If you're a foodie on an average night or if you got a promotion, closed a sale on a house, family visiting, graduation, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, romantic dates, friends catching up, etc. this place is perfect and will make your night a lovely evening whether you have a reason to be there or if you're just there because the food is incredible. It has a relaxing and classy atmosphere that's clear as soon as you walk in. The vibe is elegant but not intimidating. You're fine to dress up or dress casual without concern. The food is delicious and uses quality ingredients. With sashimi and nigiri you can tell what quality the restaurant upholds when choosing ingredients and it is good here. The dishes I order always come out with beautiful plating. I'd say they have a high "instagrammable" score in my book. If sushi isn't your thing they have plenty of agreeable options for people with a limited flavour palate. My family has always loved sushi since I was a baby, but my brother in law mostly eats eggs or generally "plain" foods. He can still feel like he has options when coming here. I have eaten cheap food elsewhere with the idea that I would spend less only to realize I could've gotten Fo Bistro for the same price. Like, Mexican food is not inherently more affordable than Japanese food even if the specific restaurant seems like it should be. Additionally, those other small businesses with the cheap-food restaurants in the area that overcharge don't even view their customers as people. Other small businesses in the area make a little money then lose their humanity and have only disdain for others. Whereas here, you definitely feel welcomed. I have never had a negative experience at Fo Bistro. (Remember: I've been coming here for Years since they opened and it has been consistently positive: all hits, no misses) The online ordering is quick and easy if you prefer to limit interacting with people. When I order online and pick up it's always a quick, professional handoff that has me in and out swiftly. The website is professional and so are the restaurant employees. I have met the owner in the past when I have visited and they are so humble and kind to others. I always hate when I see the staff struggling and managers doing nothing but it's not like that here at all. The owners themselves will participate in the work and I think that is very respectable. There are Other restaurants in the area I cannot say the same for. People who treat others well are the sort I'd like to support and see succeed in this area. That's Fo Bistro. read more

We love Fo Bistro! Delicious sushi that is beautifully prepared. Wonderful waitstaff that doesn't mind explaining the differences between the sushi, sashimi, and rolls. We've always had wonderful meals here. In the picture, we ordered the boat because it all sounded good and we couldn't decide what to get. And it was all wonderful!! I highly recommend. read more

My husband and I are avid sushi goers and we had difficulty finding good sushi when we moved here from the west coast. This is by far the best sushi within 15 miles of the Quantico area that we have found. If I'm wrong then let me know where else I should try! It's also fairly affordable. Their menu has a decent selection but nothing crazy and their service has consistently been great and attentive. The restaurant has never been crowded when we go but that's usually during lunch hours so I'm not sure what it's like at night. If it is crowded then I'd imagine the wait wouldn't be too long since there is plenty of seating. I highly recommend this place as a date night spot due to the vibes the decor gives off. I couldn't tell you what sushi rolls are in the photo I posted because we always try a variety but their presentation is on point! read more

Really, really loved this restaurant! We usually order take out from here and like their food so we decided to check out their restaurant. It's located in a quiet little strip mall but so we'll appointed. It was empty in here on a Friday night with no wait. Beautiful decor, fresh sushi, great drinks, and phenomenal service. What more could you ask for? Will definitely be back again soon! read more

Hidden gem located near Woodbridge. All of their sushi was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Anything fried was fried to perfection. The service was great, the staff is attentive and very nice. The ambiance of Fo Bistro was relaxing and inviting. I am so happy to have found a new sushi spot without having to go to Fairfax or D.C. If you are considering it, I highly recommend giving it a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

I have never had Pad Thai served this way, and I have had it plenty of times in various places. It was like noodles in tomato soup. I could not have more than a few bites before I asked for the check and left. The "beef" that it was served with was not beef. Whatever it was, it was weird. My first time trying this place. I ended up here by mistake, thinking they had Pho soup. Based on this experience, I can't say I'd ever return. The place itself is nice and service is ok. This is not Pad Thai though. read more

Just looked for other Japanese restaurants in the area, and I stumbled on Fo Bistro. Great vibes, great food, and competitive prices! The interior of the restaurant is pretty cool and aesthetic with a night lounge type of vibe with Asian elements. I went during the day, but I can just imagine that this would be a cool place to go dine at at night for dinner. The food is great and nicely plated. I got a seaweed salad, Mr. Mango roll, and an eel and avocado hand roll. The seaweed salad was super refreshing and had a nice spice kick that was exciting. And the mango roll was a curious creation that I actually enjoyed. The eel hand roll was a bit basic and didn't seem to have too much filling (or the amount of rice just submerged it), but I think I enjoyed it. The food made it to the table pretty fast too! I think I got everything within 10 minutes of placing the order! It was a satisfying meal for a decent price point, and I'm likely to come back again. :) read more

Went here on a Sunday night with a couple of friends who wanted some ramen and didn't want to drive too far. We walked in and were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and decor of the place. We got the Spicy Girl Sushi Roll and the Spicy Miso Pork Ramen (not pictured). The sushi was really well presented, and tasted great. I will be returning for more sushi! I have had a lot of ramen in my time, so in comparison, Fo Bistro's ramen fell short. I felt that their ramen lacked depth and flavor. I actually needed to add soy sauce to my ramen to make it saltier. read more

I ordered takeout last night, excited to try a new sushi place! In my order I specifically requested the sushi not include a side of wasabi/ginger (due to an allergen). The woman on the phone said that was totally fine and she would make sure it wasn't included. I was so sad (and hungry) to find out once I got home that both had been included in every container contaminating everything I ordered. I had to throw everything away. Make sure to check your order before leaving or eating anything if you have any kind of allergen or dietary preference. read more

I have found my new favorite local place - Fo Bistro! After living in DC, Europe, Arlington VA etc- we bought a house in Manassas. I was really worried I would have to give up amazing sushi that I used to have access to in the city and metropolitan areas. I have tried many others in this area that disappointed. Fo Bistro does NOT disappoint! It is INCREDIBLE! THE BEST SUSHI in the area. I ordered an array of sushi, some shumai, ramen for my fiancé, and udon for me. All were impeccable. The lychee martini I had while waiting was also made perfectly. I am so, so happy there is a Japanese eatery of this caliber here in the Montclair-Manassas area. Blown away. I will keep returning to Fo Bistro. Hats off to the owner, sushi chefs, servers, and everyone who contributes to how great this place is! read more

First, I will rate the Ambiance and Service. They were both good. The decor was nice, and the restaurant was very clean; neither the floors nor menus were sticky. Surprisingly, many restaurants cannot claim the same. The service was good, but the very nice waitress did not have a good command of English. However, that can improve with experience. She did not follow our request to bring our appetizers and main dishes to the table at the same time. The menu selection was adequate. The food value was overpriced for the quality. We ordered tempura and calamari from the appetizer menu, and Yaki Udon and Yaki Soba from the noodles menu. We asked for all four items to be delivered at the same time to be consumed as a main meal, but they either did not understand us or did not care to follow our request. We lived in Japan for three years, and I visited many times over my Navy career. We both really enjoy Japanese noodles and know what the flavors should be. The food was basically flavorless. All four items we ordered tasted the same--bland. Even the tempura dipping sauce was bland and tasteless. The calamari was very tough and not fresh. The only thing that had flavor was the calamari dipping sauce, but I'm sure that's only because it was the same Thai dipping sauce we use and purchase from local Asian grocery stores. We have no plans to return and try again. We CANNOT RECOMMEND. read more

Food and service was not great. I was surprised by the good reviews that influenced why I wanted to try this place. I was sadly disappointed I had to ask for a waitress and everything took awhile. People that came in about the same time were almost leaving before I even got my food so they didn't serve people in the right order it was just disorganized. The food was not even good enough to eat all of it or want to take the leftovers home. read more

Finally something decent near by!! I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki bento box for lunch and that thing was delicious!! the salmon was grilled properly, it had that char/burnt/crispiness to the outside of it. The only thing I have to complain about is that it didn't come with rice :\ Sure the 4 pieces of California rolls and 3 pieces of shu mai plus soup and salad is filling but that teriyaki sauce.... you need rice to balance it out. Perhaps next time i'll substitute something for rice, if that's even allowed. Definitely will come back for more. read more

By far the best sushi I've had local to the Woodbridge area. Saturday night around 6pm with an hour wait for takeout and totally worth it. Thought it was super convenient that they installed a window (see picture) The salmon nigiri was cut beautifully and the fish was so fresh. The white dragon & sunset specialty rolls were delicious & a generous portion. This will be my new sushi spot and i can't wait until they offer dine in again. read more

As gorgeous of a place this is and a staple for the Montclair community. The customer service has been lacking. Spontaneously was craving sushi and decided to order the Maki B for pickup. Had order notes for extra spicy mayo and eel sauce and was told during pickup it was extra charge which was not a problem at all. I even tipped on top of it. I get home and I have no eel sauce but instead double soy. I called to not making a big fuss and to just request a refund for just the eel sauce since I didn't receive and was made out to be a liar cause the woman insisted she put the eel sauce in there and repeatedly told me it was in there and what it looked like even after I told her I tasted both sauces. She still didn't believe me so I took my son out of bed and drove back to show her I wasn't lying and requested a refund for all my sauces I paid for . She dug through my bag like it was magically going to appear and then gave me cash when I should have insisted a refund to my card since that's what I paid by but I wasn't going to press the issue for a few dollars . No apology was given by HER mistake . The experience put a bad taste in my mouth and honestly the sushi was terrible and I only ate 5 pieces before throwing the rest in the trash . I will definitely not be returning . read more

The food's actually good but the staff is not friendly, often rude, and they keep raising prices. Will dine elsewhere.

Yes, five stars all the way! My husband and I ended up coming here twice during my visit and we were really happy with our experience both times. I know the sushi options in suburban Virginia aren't going to be the same as in Asia or Hawaii, but this was pretty darn great and I will definitely go out of my way to return in the future. The first time we visited, we got bento boxes. I ordered the tempura veggies with shrimp and the hubby got the salmon so we could both share each other's meals. The bentos came with miso soup and salad, plus California rolls. Both of us were really happy with the food and left the restaurant with full, content bellies. During our second trip, we wanted to have a special date-night option, so we decided to try the Love Boat. Wow! The presentation was beautiful, complete with a green light under ice for the sashimi, orchid decorations, all placed on top of a "boat" server. The meal was a very generous portion of sushi, sashimi, and rolls, even for two hungry people! The Love Boat also included miso soup and salad to start. Service was excellent both times and we really enjoyed every part of our meal. I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in Virginia! read more

Overall the ambience of the place was lovely. It seems like this is one the only sushi spots in this part of town without going to DC. The food was average at best, and the service was quite slow. The waitresses are a bit pushy and seem to have an attitude for some reason. read more

Food was amazing as well as presentation. The sushi chef did a wonderful job. Tuna pizza may sound odd but it was phenomenal, kiddo approved as well. Would have been a five star but due to multiple waitresses coming to our table, the 3 kids meals we ordered were never put in-a small apology was given. Would recommend but think one waitress for each table would avoid issues and restaurant should make concession for something like that. read more

Not coming back. Everything was lousy, I ordered the Fo Chicken Special. The chicken was tough and chewy, what a disappointment as I had high hopes. The sushi was average, next time I will take myself to Sushi Jin at Potomac Town Center. The service was slow even though the place was not busy. Just because it's close by doesn't make it worth going to. read more
