    AYCE Menu (front)

    Northern Virginia is anything but short on AYCE sushi spots! Umiya in Alexandria, Sushi Ohayo's many locs, and Kanji Izakaya in Arlington to name a few. Yet, Kanji Sushi in Springfield remains one I've been to more than 3 times in the 8 or so months I've been living in this area. At $30 per person, it's a pretty fair price considering it includes sushi, apps, and hibachi!!!! I love the Shrimp hibachi and the shumai dumplings. But my favorite sushi roll? It's gotta be the Snow Mountain Roll (pictured below$ without a doubt!!! It's got shrimp tempura and shredded crabstick -- two of my fav proteins in sushi!!! The inside is nice and there's a conveyor belt that's included in the AYCE. But if you go anytime after 5pm be prepared for a long wait time. This place is great and very popular.

    Another amazing meal and this is one of the best deals around. If you get there around 5pm the conveyor was starting and everything was fresh. Joshua was amazing, attentive, friendly. He gets 5 stars too!

    I do not remember which rolls these were

    One of our favorite revolving AYCE sushi place in the area but it is for smaller (4 comfortably or 6 if you're squishing in) because they only have booths. If you see a dessert or item on the revolving belt, grab it because it may not come back and you're not able to order the item with your server.

    This is hands down one of the best AYCE-sushi spots in the NATION! Seriously... no cap. This review a bit overdue, but it is impossible for me to not give Kanji Sushi and Hibachi its flowers after my experience there. I was in town for a business trip, along with a couple of coworkers in the last week of November 2025. After flying into town on a Sunday and checking into our hotel down the road, we were looking forward to dinner. One of the coworkers recommended Kanji as he previously lived in and was familiar with the area. We arrived at the venue around 6pm and were seated promptly. It was fairly open when we arrived, with a good rotation of patrons in and out, however it picked up quite a bit after we were seated. As briefed to us by our server (the service was great by the way), the kaiten-zushi (sushi conveyor belt) items were intended to be super light-eats. So in that regard, it is a bit underwhelming when compared to other similar concept places such as Kura. However, the money train (no pun intended) were the actual shuttles that ran along the top rails over the communal belt. There is a great selection of appetizer, sushi, rolls, and hibachi items for the AYCE menu. Compared to other AYCE venues, you will have to order your items each time the server comes around as opposed to ordering electronically from a table kiosk. Save a few items here and there, we tried almost every item on the menu and they were all spectacular. Great standard rolls with quality and flavor - all the rolls that I've had here were probably the best rolls I've had in a while. The hibachi meats were tender and on point. THEY HAVE TAKOYAKI!!! Usually when going to AYCE-sushi restaurants, the bar and expectations are set pretty low when it comes to the quality of the food due to the amount of food that needs to be churned out at speed. This is not the case with Kanji - the chefs definitely know how to create the perfect balance of speed and quality. All of which is delivered directly to your tables on the shuttles with a great turn around time after your order is submitted. If you want sashimi (the fish without the rice), there is an additional surcharge, however there is a one-time sashimi "sampler" plate that is included with your AYCE pricing. Even with the base pricing, you will get a thorough experience. Hands down recommend Kanji Sushi and Hibachi for all those in town and those visiting! I will 100% be returning to Kanji the next time I am in Springfield. You CANNOT go wrong with Kanji!

    3.5 stars This is another spot that's a bit hard for me to rate. We went on a Wednesday night and were seated right away. The rolls we ordered were delicious, and were very flavorful. The incredible roll for example had giant cuts of fish in it, so they were definitely generous with their fish portions. The fish itself tasted pretty fresh. I really liked the hibachi shrimp as well. The teriyaki chicken didn't look the most appetizing but tasted pretty good. The conveyor belt didn't really have too many interesting items. It was a ton of repeats. The desserts were very lacking, I tried a couple and they were both way too sweet, and tasted the same. I think I would go back though in a larger group!

    The comes out fast. Decent variety of appetizers and their steak hibachi was good. Their combo fried rice was excellent very tasty. The sushi was good but not amazing. The cost is five dollars higher than sushi ohayo but I like the atmosphere and booths better at Kanji. The service was good. My only concern the is the conveyor belt sushi not being refrigerated and getting warm. I am not sure how many times it goes around before being thrown out.

    I was craving sushi and decided to stop for lunch since I was in the area, and I'm so glad I did. This restaurant's concept is such a cool idea--I sat at the "sushi bar," where dishes came out on a rotating belt, and I absolutely loved it. Everything I tried from the belt was fresh, and the rolls I ordered separately were just as delicious. The service was quick and efficient, which made the experience even better. I would definitely come back, and next time I'll be bringing friends along to enjoy it with me.

    Pretty good quality for AYCE and at a great price point. The restaurant was clean, servers were friendly, and there was a pretty good variety of food options (mostly rolls though, sushi/sashimi options were pretty limited). I prefer this place over Umiya and would definitely go again.

    A decent AYCE sushi place that also serves hibachi. Your server takes your initial order and your food arrives on a robot server that runs on a track. They also have small bites on a smaller track. Food is good as well as the service and the cost is reasonably cheap. They have a small charge if you just want sashimi but you can avoid that by ordering their sashimi plate. Will definitely come again.

    We love the concept of an AYCE Korean hibachi and sushi eateriy, so we paid a visit to Kanji yesterday. It was pretty good. But if I am going to pick between Kanji and Sushi Ohayo down in Lorton, I pick Sushi Ohayo. Kanji is a spacious and attractive restaurant situated in the strip mall at the corner of Old Keene Mill Road and construction torn-up Rolling Road. Entering Kanji, there were like five staffers at the front desk and we weren't sure whom to acknowledge since none of them directly acknowledged us. But we were eventually seated at a comfortable table. They only give you one menu for the table. The menu was typical Korean AYCE: hibachi, appetizers, sides, sushi and sashimi. Adult price was $31 plus $5 if you want sashimi. What is nice is that if only one person at the table wants sashimi, not everybody at the table has to go with the more expensive sashimi option. They have a well-stocked conveyor with several options including sushi rolls and yes, mousse. Above the conveyor belt is a train track with trains that bring your orders to your table. I didn't like the train so much since you have to stand up to reach over to the train to get your order because the track is so high. The kani salad and the hibachi are very good. I loved the dipping sauce that comes with the hibachi (steak, chicken, salmon or shrimp). The other items were good, with the exception of the miso soup. It was nasty with way too much seaweed flavor. I couldn't finish it. Service was good except they did forget my fried rice. I really liked my dessert. I custom built it with a cup of vanilla ice cream topped with green tea mousse I snagged from the conveyor built.

    Robot Train delivering your sushi rolls
    Kandis M.

    This is a wonderful AYCE experience! I originally thought i'd be similar to revolve sushi places where you have to wait for the plate to come around but it's not like that unless you would like a complimentary small side dish. A small automated train system deliveries your ordered sushi to your seat & they also have a revolving option for small little one bites. It did seem as though, those one bites would sit there for some time going around and around. For the AYCE, it was a great price for the quality of the sushi! I was very surprised how tasty the individual pieces of sushi were. & we enjoyed the special rolls. The appetizers (Kani salad and Tuna dish pictured) weren't that great so I'd recommend skipping those and going straight for the sushi pieces & the rolls! Not pictured is the hibachi- it is also just OK, I don't think I'd do that again. Great experience, great service, and yummy sushi!

    Honestly it was just ok. The service gets 5 star, definitely very kind and efficient. The deco was nice. Atmosphere was loud and music was a bit high. Food really didn't impress, the tempura the oil was fried in , I could tell was old. Overall just okay, was hoping for better.

    Ask the Community - Kanji Sushi AYCE

    When will they have a bar?

    They do have a bar/alcohol. I'm not sure people really go there for the bar alone though.

    Is there a timer on the tablet, and is the time limit strict, forcing staff to kick you out? Sometimes the pressure of eating within a certain time limit cause me to go through some indigestion, via rushing, so I was just curious. Thank you!

    There is a 90 minute time limit, the server will tell you when it is close to time and ask for last call on orders.

    Can the tables fit 7 people?

    I've seen table fit 5 skinny/petite people. Not sure if they can fit 7 people around one table.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they do not

Ordered the Mogu Shiitake Mixian Noodles like last time; overall it was solid, though the hard-boiled egg probably could have benefitted from a little more time in the broth, but it was near-closing, so not a big deal. Unfortunately, the service quality has ebbed since my last visit. My server, while outwardly calm and friendly enough, was eager to remind me of their imminent closure thrice during my meal. I eventually had to say "Yes, I'm aware" to ensure I understood. I suffer from heartburn and need to pace my meals, so this felt like a rather passive-aggressive "get out". Moreover, I asked at the end of my meal if I could apply a $5 off coupon I received for my birthday. The server told me that the manager has to be on duty in order to apply the discount code, and that they already left. I found this bizarre, having worked with Toast POS systems before, I know this isn't a difficult thing to train your staff on. This was compounded by the fact that I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for another employee, ostensibly an assistant manager, to apply it, and she wasn't even aware until I flagged her down. Again, solid fare; always love when I get to stop in to Yunnan for that reason alone, so I still recommend it. Unfortunately, I think the management should circle back on a few items with the staff in terms of service quality.

The service was nice in helping me decide on what I wanted to order and to provide recommendations. Since the restaurant was near empty, we were able to order pretty fast.

Tons of filling and the noodles were well prepared. The highlight of the day was the soup dumplings however. I was surprised that the dumplings came out 10 mins after the noodle soup as it was an appetizer. The pork soup dumplings are something I will be coming back here for. Overall, I had a good experience with kind service will definitely be returning.
