Love me some good izakaya food. Definitely pros and cons to this restaurant so will list what I enjoyed and what I will not order again. But overall, I think the pros outweigh the bad dishes so order carefully. Sushi was decent, but not worth. The quality of the tuna is excellent; one of the few times where I actually enjoyed the regular tuna, which is not something I usually do. But when they have cuts like chutoro, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. The uni was sweet, and the ikura had some nice slightly sweet soy sauce seasoning that made it very enjoyable. The only thing I have to say is that it was a bit overpriced. I don't think my sashimi plate was worth $45.. maybe $36 max. I also ordered à la carte and got 2 orders of sashimi salmon which was $8 for two pieces of salmon sashimi. They were thick but still way too pricey. We tried some izakaya dishes.. the chicken thigh, chicken wings, beef, pork jowl, and eringi mushroom. Both chicken skewers + the mushroom were coated in a sauce that was unpleasantly too sweet. Even though the chicken was cooked well, the sauce ruined it. However, we did enjoy the beef and pork jowl. Also cooked really well and wasn't coated with that sweet sauce. Pork bao bun was a little disappointing. Maybe 3.5 out of 5. The sauce wasn't right and the meat slightly overcooked. I've had a lot of bao buns so maybe I'm a harsh critic but would not order again. Cream Udon (5/5) - probably the best cream udon I ever had, and I've had quite a few. What made this so good is that usually cream udons they get too heavy as you eat it and you get sick of it because of how it sits in your stomach. Not this one. I wanted more until the end of the dish. Truffle fries (5/5) - fries were golden and cooked in fresh oil. Not sure if we came on a good day, but I do appreciate some good golden fries that aren't browned from overused oil. Only ordered this for the kids but they killed it and I enjoyed a few pieces. Also ordered kara'age. 3.8/5. Chicken cooked well, didn't enjoy batter as much, and wish they had a better sauce than just plain mayo. Wouldn't order again Overall, I would come back here again. Order some of my favorites, try some new dishes, and maybe take it easy on the sushi since they're just overpriced. That's one of the downsides of having such a huge menu. Everything can't be good because quality control is not controlled on every dish. If the menu was maybe 30% of their size they can focus on quality over quantity, but ah well. 4.5/5 read more

Izakaya Nana is the ultimate date night + group dining / birthday dinner spot! The decor is stunning and each booth or dining room is set up to be private and make you feel like you truly are having a fun night out in Japan. Food and cocktails are great as well! Uni oyster shots were fresh, sashimi platter was rich and buttery, and the mentaiko udon pasta was a favorite among our table. Service was fun and loved how they are open til 2 am. read more

Izakaya Nana used to be one of my absolute favorite spots. During its first year, it was nothing short of amazing--the food was exquisite, the flavors were spot-on, and every dish felt like a truly special, authentic experience. Unfortunately, after that first year, the quality has steadily started to fall off. The standard of the ingredients has diminished, the rich, vibrant flavors just aren't what they used to be. Don't get me wrong, the establishment is stupendous. It's real disappointing because I know how incredible the food can be when it's at its best. I really hope the team can turn things around and bring back the high level of food and charm they started with. read more

Izakaya Nana is such a cute and vibrant spot. When you walk in, it's easy to be captivated by the decor of the establishment. The service here is also exceptional. Once you are seated, a waitress immediately greets you. Then, once you put in your order, the food comes out very promptly. On this visit, I decided to get the Seaweed Salad, the Crispy Chili Wings, and the Karaage Chicken. The Seaweed Salad wasn't really anything to rave about. The Karaage Chicken was okay, but my favorite item from my selection that evening was the Crispy Chili Wings. Overall, with food factored into the ambience here, my rating would be 3/5. read more

This is a must try. It is a great place for a group of friends. This reminded me of a couple of Izakayas in Japan. So, I think the decor is pretty authentic. Plus the dishes we tried were very tasty. A must get is the sushi with sake of course. Also, the service is very friendly... just like in Japan. read more

Izakaya Nana - Entrance - Japanese Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Izakaya Nana is one of the most interesting places I've dined at. They serve Japanese food from highly decorated dining rooms and booths. The decorative work done here is a large part of the experience and very noticeable, such as when you first walk in, and you see Gundam and Evangelion heads lining the ceiling. Menu included Yakitori, Sushi, Ramen, Deserts, and other items. This location also has Cocktails, Sake, Beer, and Soju. I ordered the Tokotsu Ramen which interestingly was made with lighter noodles. The pork was perfectly done, I enjoyed them using smaller eggs, and the broth was flavorful. The Mango Roll I had was fine. My one friend had the Yakitori beef skirt as one of his items and the piece I sampled was excellent. The presentation of these was also lovely. One thing I would mention, if you are a larger or hungrier person, be aware of your portion sizes here as some items can be smaller then expected. Service was good during our visit and the music playing really fit the atmosphere. Overall, this was a great dining experience and I would return here. read more

This place was amazing! I booked a reservation here for my younger brother's 18th birthday dinner and everything we ordered was deliciouss! The inside of the restaurant was decorated with Japanese themed seating areas and decor, and the plates that the food came out in were similarly on theme to their dish, PLUS, everything fit perfectly on the table! We were a group of 4 and ordered 8+ dishes, they were all fair priced to the proportion(s) they gave and it was easy to share with everyone. Overall definitely a 10/10 experience and they brought out a complimentary cake for his bday- so sweet! #absolutely returning again- worth the drive from Maryland! P.S- The staff were also super kind and welcoming ! :) read more

I went late night with my boyfriend for a quick bite. The service was great and food came out fast. The coconuts cocktail was definitely a favorite, I could down a few of those. The mentaiko udon tasted rly good, perfectly seasoned and the noodles were nice and chewy. Scallops were well cooked but the sauce a little sweeter than I was expecting. A little pricey but food was good. read more

Izakaya Nana is worth checking out for the atmosphere alone. The ambiance is amazing, with Japanese anime and manga displays, themed wallpaper, and décor everywhere that really makes you feel like you're in a Japanese izakaya. The service was outstanding. If you need anything, you simply ring the bell at your table, and someone is there within seconds. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always on point. As for the food, it was good--pretty much what you'd expect from a solid Japanese sushi restaurant. Nothing wildly different, but everything was enjoyable. What really sets this place apart is the unique vibe and dining experience. If you're looking for more than just sushi and want a fun, immersive atmosphere with excellent service, Izakaya Nana is definitely worth a visit. read more

First time here with a friend for lunch and upon entering I was already unimpressed. We walked in and expected to see a host/hostess to help us sit down but instead we just stood there while 3-4 employees just stood there staring at us.... It was really awkward.... and they weren't even busy..... I was even thinking of leaving if no one came up to help us..... Eventually we kept staring at the employees (almost a minute has gone by) and one girl finally came up to help us and asked if we had reservations. No. Then notifies us that the tables up front are self seating. There were no signs to inform us of that whatsoever..... Anyways food was yummy though. The Mentaiko cream udon was very flavorful as compare to other places I've had it at! The beef, pork jowel and chicken thigh yakitori were also yummy. My friend has a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate with gluten free soy sauce. Overall I'd love to come back to experience the other rooms and more of the food. However I was a bit peeved upon coming in as a first timer. Food 5/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 5/5 read more

This place definitely has Izakaya vibes. It's almost like you're being transported to Japan and you can be split off into little booths for your own parties. Parking isn't too bad, but it is a little tucked away and a little awkward too park. The menu is quite vast. It took me over 10 minutes to look through what was available. I do appreciate that they had photos for each of their dishes and everything was pretty accurate to the picture that I ordered. I was sat down in one of their booze, which was pretty private. I had some of their "best " yakitori items: spicy butabara which was pork belly and the kashira which is their pork jowel. Both were really flavorful and had great sauce, although the butabara wasn't that spicy. I like the pork jowel more out of the two. I was debating getting a Ramen or a donkatsu or a curry dish. They have a lot of different options, but I ended up going with the sashimi sampler and the Hako Sushi. The Hako was very visually, appealing with it squares and middle nest layer of spicy tuna. Thought overall it was pretty good, I just wish the top layers of fish were a little thicker. The sashimi sampler was also pretty good, one of the items was raw marinated shrimp, which was sweet. This sashimi cuts of fish were thicker. I did like most of them, but not all of the pieces. In order to be able to try a lot more things I would definitely suggest coming with a bigger group. It's nice that the menu is quite large so you have plenty of options to choose from. I could see this definitely being an after work or even later into the evening type of place. It definitely has a Japanese aesthetic and the staff was pretty cool. read more

A large group of us had a reservation for one of their bigger rooms on a busy weeknight. I had time concerns, because I needed to be someplace right after dinner, but there were absolutely no problems. The staff here is very efficient and make good use of technology for taking your order and sorting it out at the end when everyone is requesting separate checks for 1 or 2 people each. That server robot was fun too. As someone who has admittedly only been to places not quite so authentic, I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu at first, and I stuck to more familiar items. But among our group, I got to see and sample some of the other items. The couple across the table from me ordered the meter-long sushi boat, which was amazing. The sake list was pretty good as well. Everyone in our group was very satisfied with the experience. read more

Found this place while searching where to meet friends near Dulles Airport. Great place to have a mini reunion with great food. Was able to easily make reservations online. They were able to sit us on a special private booth. Each room has some theme. The menu is pretty extensive with good selection of cocktails and beers. Food was pretty good. Sushi was good. Grilled skewers were Flavorful. Service was excellent. Definitely coming back to this place when we are in the area. read more

Came here after doing a google search when leaving king spa. My husband and I were on a staycation to celebrate our 1st year anniversary. My husband is big into anime and he loveddd the ambiance of the restaurant. You could tell this was a nice hang out place especially after 9 pm, but it wasn't rowdy or anything. We ordered drinks I can't remember the names, mine was a seltzer and my husband had one of the beers. We had good service & food came out really quick. I ordered the chili wings for a starter and the spicy island roll, I will say I have had better for both but I could see it just being because I ordered the wrong things. My husband got the chicken yakisoba and enjoyed. I would return and try something else. read more

I've been wanting to go to Izakaya Nana since I saw it on IG like two years ago so, super excited to finally visit. I made a reservation a week before just to be safe. Was fun to see folks waiting to enter when they opened. I was trying to peep the menu online but bless for Yelp and for everyone who shared pics of the menu. I will say everything looks like the picture. I literally got the Ramen Nana for the cup lol. I think the longostino is unnecessary because it's over cooked and hard to take out of the shell with chopsticks, so I had to use my hand but other wise it was a very mild ramen broth. I was still searching for some protein, and decided to order the black miso cod. The ramen nana, black cod and a Diet Coke cost me around $65. Service was quality, appreciated the call button and of course the decor was A1. Food wise, the Black cod was great, would totally get that again. Lots of great options and I look forward to coming back and trying something new. read more

A couple of my friends took me out last night for a belated birthday dinner. I'd never been to Izakaya Nana. The building the restaurant occupies used to be a swimming pool company store. We had a reservation in a small room - they are semi-private since each room is walled off from one another. Calvin, one of the restaurant managers, waited on us. We ordered a Sake tasting flight to share. There were three Sake samples in the flight. In hindsight - I should have ordered a flight just for me. The Sake was good and I could have easily drank that by myself. We ordered a number of dishes to share: Brussel sprouts, spicy Bamboo shoots, Calamari, Sashimi (salmon, tune, scallops, and a couple of other fish options that I could not identify. Everything was delicious and the service was great! #IzakayaNana read more

Finally tried this spot and have heard great things from friends. It was pretty good, we had below: - Lobster Potato Salad Balls (pleasantly surprised, enjoyed this and would get again) - Yellowtail Carpaccio (yum) - Impossible Unadon (good, but a bit pricey) - Baby Scallop Skewer (was okay, wouldn't get again) Decor is nice and it's in a shopping center, so plenty of parking. read more

Great food, service leaves a bit to be desired and the prices are a bit high. The portions are nice sized. Very similar to actual Japanese cuisine ! Would definitely come again. read more

Izakaya nana is the first restaurant that I visited in 2026. I came for a late lunch around 2 pm and it was pretty full so the only seats available were the high top tables. I really liked the atmosphere and the way they decorated the restaurant. It was like I was in a little Japanese village with popular Japanese music in the background. My wife and I ordered a whole bunch of food to share. We ordered the Mentaiko cream udon, toro ikura don, yakitori platter, a few other yakitori skewers, crispy sweet chili wings. As busy as it was, the food came out relatively quickly. The yakitori and chicken wings came out first. The crispy wings were not crispy at all. Pretty soggy and it was just very sweet. Could not finish that. The yakitori was served on a heated box to keep them warm while eating. The mentaiko cream udon was creamy and tasted like mentaiko. My favorite was the Toro ikura don. The toro was pretty much on the money and it melted in your mouth. The bowl came with avocado at the base, rice on top and some wasabi, yellow radish, and toro. It paired well with a little bit of soy sauce. I don't come to chantilly often, but I would come back with friends. I recommend making a reservation. You may have to wait a little bit even with a reservation. 3.5 or 7/10 for me. read more

As of 12/10/2025, the widget on the site is still broken, however my husband and I a=have dined here. He made the reservation through the resy website and we went on a weekday during the day for an early dinner. The food was amazing and he wanted to go back immediately. Service was quick. but don't expect anyone to stop at your table unless you press the button on the side. For those who like to be left alone, this is perfect. One negative, I saw an employee smoking a cigarette outside when we arrived (normal in the restaraunt industry), then after we were seated, I immediately smelled cigarette smoke when he walked past us to assist another table. + Curry 5/5 juicy pieces of chicken + Mango roll Sushi 5/5 + Skewers 5/5 read more

I rarely venture out to this part of town since I live near DC, but I happened to be in the area and my partner wanted to take me here. We went for lunch right at opening and were greeted with such friendly faces. The atmosphere: The restaurant is a standalone spot with plenty of parking. Inside, it's beautifully decorated, mimicking a Japanese izakaya. There are flowers, paintings, lanterns, and lots of small details that make the space feel cozy and a bit like being transported to Japan. The food: To start, we ordered the Chicken Karaage, which was the perfect portion and paired really well with the mayo. The Hamachi Kama was served hot and was so delicious, definitely a treat and one of my partner's favorites. He also ordered the Berkshire Pork Sausage skewer and thought it was very tasty. We shared the Mentaiko Cream Udon and the Hako Sushi. The udon was a generous portion and very enjoyable. The Hako Sushi was the only dish I didn't love. The presentation was beautiful, but the texture felt a bit one note. That is more a reflection of the style of pressed sushi itself, though, and I personally prefer traditional rolls. The service: Service was great and attentive. Our server explained his favorites and recommendations, which really helped us decide what to order since the menu is quite extensive. read more

When my friend showed me a picture of some manga figurines, and insisted on trekking all the way to this place solely based on that, I was like BRO. This is like an hour from us, and did you even look into the food?? I told him he had to drive because that was far for a Tuesday night... so another friend and I met him in his neighborhood, and we were on our way! We arrived and I was shocked by how much awesome stuff (including Dolan Uyghur) is in the plaza where it's located. It's so far, but wow! And it's only 5 minutes from where I go for Super Smash Con. I skipped this year, but this could be motivation to return. So we went inside -- about 15 minutes late for our reservation due to traffic, but it worked out! We were led into this room stacked from top to bottom with an otaku's dream... check out my photos. And quite frankly, they don't do it justice. The room was fantastic... I didn't get to look hard into the other rooms, but it's the only one with that type of decor. Every room appears to have an epic theme of some sort. Anyways, specials were posted on posters on the shelves, and there was a buzzer on the wall to call a server in if we needed something immediately. Looking over the menu, they are best known for their variety of yakitori skewers. But they have sushi, a bunch of appetizers and snacks, ramen, desserts, and a full bar. I decided to try their signature sampler, which is served cold. I really appreciate our server (I believe her name was Samantha) for giving the heads up on that. I would've expected the items to all be served hot, but they were still great cold. There was tofu, veggies, chicken, and much more. I also got the toro tartare -- there was no description, but it just stood out to me... there was some sort of fish on top, caviar, and more, but the other layers? There was fruit... FRUIT. I was not expecting that! Loved it, but it was very very light. Also, $20 XD. Lastly, I tried the chicken skin dumpling yakitori, which was a limited one that had just recently launched and really enjoyed it. This is really far from home, but I'd return. And if I return to Super Smash Con next year? There's no doubt about it. read more

Great ambiance, awesome and fast service and good food. We didn't get to sit in the main area due to long wait so we sat to to the dining area next to the bar. Food was great overall, ordered the Yakitori Platters, Karaage chicken and Wagyu fried rice. Karaage chicken was hot and crispy served to the table. From the platters, all was good but my fav was actually the chicken thigh and leek. Now onto the Wagyu fried rice, while it's good, I may have expected just a little bit more uhmph on it, a little bland side on the rice itself and the Wagyu. Overall, still good and can be fixed with adding some soy sauce and red pepper powder! Would come back when in the area and perhaps trying the popular ramen and other yakitori :) read more

How cute is this place? I have never been to Japan, but the decor and surroundings made me feel like I was eating in the streets of Japan. I have been wanting to try Izakaya for a while now and my girlfriends and I finally had a chance to try it. I loved how the menu had pictures. We ordered a bunch of different things to try and all of it was so tasty. Was pleased with the presentation and the taste. Looking forward to going back to try more items. read more

In from out of town and made a reservation as several friends told me they enjoyed the experience. Booked for lunch on a Friday at opening and the server didn't seem to care who had reservations and who didn't but there were plenty of tables. Place is beautifully decorated. The menu has a lot of selection but it was difficult to find anything that wasn't fried and safe for a gluten free diet. I wanted to combine a sushi plate with one of their salads and a vegetable but I was told I couldn't order the vegetable without the entree and tofu cake it came with. Inflexible. We walked out without eating to avoid risking a food reaction and/or paying for food we couldn't eat. Neither the hostess nor the server gave me any confidence that enough care would be given. Off to Thai Basil... again. read more

OMG! Yea yea yes this restaurant was sooo adorable! I was so overwhelmed when I walked in with all the nice decor that even the pictures I have taken don't do it justice. I was in the mood for sushi and the place I was going to try was closing so I came here instead. I was greeted when I first arrived and sat at my booth which was extremely cute. The menu is very interesting as I was just in the mood for sushi...but they have some great options like different meat items and other trendy food options. I really wish I lived closer to here because I would love to try the other menu items as there was a lot dot choose from. Now I'm not sure if they actually have a full bar as I was just ordering one of their signature drinks as I don't think the waitress understood when I asked her for recommendations on other drinks. One thing I did like as I just wanted basic rolls (yellowtail, spicy tuna, and salmon rolls) and they were able to make them no problem. This is how I test out the restaurant by ordering the simple rolls because of they couldn't get those right...then I would suspect they couldn't do complicated rolls either. When and if I'm back in the area I will give them another try! 10/10 read more

Cool Izakaya that transports you to Japan upon walking in. There are several semi private rooms as well so your party can dine and chat amongst yourselves. Nice touch. Third time here and I must say just about everything we've tried has been delicious- sushi and sushi rolls are fresh, the yakitori is flavorful, and the choice of drinks are outstanding. To name a few dishes - wagyu fried rice, mentaiko udon, yellowtail carpaccio, wings...yummy Definitely a great addition to the many asian restaurants in Chantilly. Hope they expand to the Reston area! read more

I tried the restaurant for the first time with my family and we all loved it. The atmosphere was anime, kaiji and Japanese culture and the food was great with a wide menu.

We wanted to take our mom out for her birthday so she can have a memorable experience! Izakaya Nana never disappoint! The decor is always so nice, the service was great, and the food is exquisite! Some of our favorites were the Takoyaki (lightly crisp exterior, soft and delish on the inside, surrounded by savory bonito flakes), the Ika-Sugata (sauteed squid was soft and the teriyaki sauce complimented it so well!), and the Yakitori platter meat skewers were perfectly seasoned. The cold Signature appetizer sampler was interesting but not our favorite. The Mentaikocream udon was good but it did need more udon and roe. Sushi is always good! read more

We tried Izakaya Nana for the first time and we really enjoyed the ambiance, attentive service, and delicious food! We started off with the yakitori spicy pork belly and pork jowl, which were our faves. The beef skirt was ok and the chicken gizzards were very gamey -- definitely more than I anticipated. Takoyaki was one of our highlights with the amount of octopus and it was cooked perfectly. The sashimi deluxe platter was fresh and enough for two people. We finished our meal with an order unadon. The portion was just right for two with all our shared dishes. I highly recommend taking advantage of the rewards at checkout and definitely looking forward to our next visit! read more
