    Pork Belly Baos (Steamed Buns)
    Eva L.

    Cute tucked away sushi and ramen spot near Tysons. They were very accommodating with our questionable party size. We ended up with 8 and they were able to accommodate. The food was pretty good. Staff did an amazing job accommodating our group. We ordered the aged dashi, chicken Karage as appetizers, and pork belly buns as appetizers. My favorite of them was the pork belly buns. They had pretty good flavor. Each appetizer came with 2 buns, so we ordered 3 so everyone could try. A friend and I ended up sharing rolls. We ordered the caterpillar, red light, dynomite roll, eel roll. All were good and highly suggest looking at what you want before hand because they have a lot of rolls and even some limited menu items (on a separate menu). I think the rolls were pretty good and I think the one I enjoyed most was the green light, red light roll. Nothing in particular stood too far out, I do really like eel in the dishes which surprising not a lot of specialty rolls included. I do wish they came by and told us again which rolls were which since they all came on the same platter. Definitely worth a stop. They also had ramen which a couple of people at the table ordered, so maybe I'll come back for that next time.

    Salmon Roll Avocado Salmon Roll Spicy Scallop Roll

    Walking in, we were immediately seated and given menus. The ambience was gorgeous with high wooden booths. Drinks were promptly brought out and our server came back multiple times to check to see if we were ready. Age dashi tofu Spicy scallop roll: 10/10 The most amazing roll I've had in my entire life. The scallop pieces were big and melted with every bite. It was a perfect fish to rice ratio. I was left satisfied yet still wanting more. Salmon avocado: 10/10 You could taste how fresh the salmon was and I loved how the avocado melted into it. A good baseline roll I order at ever restaurant. Overall the service was great, the place was clean and well decorated, and the food was the best I've had.

    sushi came out fast and we had good service! for what you pay, the food is decent and not the freshest but a great place if you want affordable sushi

    Tonkotsu

    My friend and I stopped by Kizuna for dinner this past Friday after a friend recommended the ramen here. The ambiance is warm and vibrant with a modern Japanese interior. The server gave us his recommendations and we got our ramens pretty quickly. TONKOTSU RAMEN - 15 Our server said he liked to tonkotsu over the shio, so I ended up going with this one. This one comes with two nicely charred pork chashu, garlic oil, ginger, beansprouts, scallions, and nori. Sadly, I do not think this comes with a ramen egg, so you'll have to pay extra if you want it. The broth was creamy and flavorful (I could definitely taste the richness of the fat) but not overly salty. The pork chashu was a bit dry, but good flavor overall. I loved the generous amount of scallions. The noodles (yellow egg noodles here) soaked up the broth well and and beansprouts provided a nice crunchy texture. It hit the spot, but nothing to write home about. Not the best ramen spot in the DMV, and the portion size is slightly smaller compared to other spots. I could definitely eat more, though. Also, no ramen egg comes with it, sad!

    Sushi

    Delicious sushi, interesting authentic Japanese appetizers and staff. Would come back for the sushi, but skip the ramen. Go to Mauraman for ramen instead that's cheaper and more flavorful in my opinion. Don't believe the hype from the Washington Post for their special changsu ramen--not worth it. My wife found a hair on her sushi. The owner was very understanding; explained how the staff complained about hair nets because of the hot summer. But because of this, she's going to ask them to re-wear it. So the owner comped the shrimp sushi and gave us the Japanese ice cream sandwiches for free. I'd come back just for their delicious sushi. Also, one of the few places in the area with Japanese workers, versus Chinese or Koreans.

    The sushi was a great price and absolutely delicious! It was also presented very nice and they had a lot of options. The owner came to a lot of the tables and was super sweet. Our waitress was also pretty fast, and the music was really good! Not a single lie told, btw just a great place.

    Great sushi for the price. Atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice and white. Staff is friendly and very fast. The buns for especially Good on the appetizer menu. Be cautious because spicy means SPICY for the specialty rolls . If you don't like heat, avoid any of the spicy sushi on the menu.

    Family-owned ramen bar with fantastic sushi. They use fresh in-house clean-label bone broths and ramen that are amalgamated with just the right combination to tantalize both the traditional and modern Japanese and Western palates. I had the Kizuna ramen and it was delicious! Premium Aburi Chashu (high grade pork belly carved and rolled, marinated overnight, braised for over 7 hours, chilled, sliced, and then chargrilled to smoky, tender perfection), delightful ramen noodles that are perfectly cooked and textured, and your usual ramen accoutrements, topped with a perfectly cooked and sliced Ramen Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago). Jinya ramen really can't compare with this, in my opinion. if you get the chance to meet the owner Rock or his family members, be sure to ask them about the story of the restaurant. it's a warm combination of east meets west!

    Vegetable Shio
    Claudia L.

    In the realm of casual elevated sushi and ramen places, Kizuna is one of my favorites. I've dined here countless times. Staff is welcoming and attentive, and food is usually served quickly. I almost always order the vegetable shio ramen - a creature of habit! The broth tastes homemade with fresh ingredients - hits the spot every time.

    Chicken Shio
    Sanjana R.

    The Chicken Shio ramen was yummy, and the chicken was cooked perfectly, and was not dry at all. The Smothered Tater Tots were very good too, I loved how the pork was prepared, it was very flavorful and paired well with the tots! The service was great, our waiter was very nice and even packed my leftover ramen up for me. They checked up on us several times, which was considerate. The ambiance of the place is great too, it wasn't too crowded when we went on a Monday evening, and the decor/vibe is pretty and relaxing. Would definitely visit again to try the sushi out!

    Chicken ramen
    Lily R.

    The inside of the restaurant and the bamboo garden outside are so pretty. The food comes out fast but the chicken wings take awhile. The ramen is the best here, definitely recommend any of the different types.

    Tuna & Avocado Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Gabriel R.

    Fast and good food. Stopped by for a quick salad and sushi roll. Service was quick, brought out our waters right away. We ordered miso soup and seaweed salad, both appetizers came out quick and very tasty. We got tuna avocado sushi rolls and shrimp tempura sushi roll. They were delicious and very fresh. Will definitely come back again. The ambiance was cozy and friendly.

    This place is a gem! Beautiful restaurant, I went for lunch with friends and it was quiet but lovely. The staff were very kind. I love that they have both sushi and ramen. The sushi was very good, I wish the spicy mayo was mixed into the spicy tuna instead of put on top, but otherwise the food was delicious. Vegan options are alright but not phenomenal. The shio ramen was divine! There's only one other place that has ramen this good that I've tried.

I initially thought it would be mostly rolls, but it leaned more toward nigiri. That said, everything was super fresh and really well prepared, so no complaints there. I recently started eating seafood again after years of avoiding it, so I have been easing into it, and this was actually a really good place to do that. The fish tasted fresh, clean, and not overly fishy, which made it a lot easier to enjoy. The Osaka roll, which our server recommended, was really good, but my favorite was definitely the paradise roll from the sushi boat. Anything with shrimp tempura is a win for me, and this one hit the spot. The ambiance is cute, cozy, and on the smaller side, which made the whole experience feel more quiet and intimate. It did not feel rushed at all, which I appreciated, especially since we were breaking our fast. We ended up taking a lot of food to go because the portions were so generous, and surprisingly, everything still tasted fresh and delicious even the next two days. The only downside is that it is definitely on the pricier side, but the quality, portions, and overall experience helped justify it. Overall, great quality sushi, generous portions, and a calm, intimate vibe. Definitely a spot I would come back to, especially if I am in the mood for fresh sushi without a loud or hectic atmosphere.

One of the taller workers who's sitting down on the table, scoots out aggressively, walks up to my face with his chest puffed out and stares me down with a "Can I help you sir!?". I didn't take it as a threat, but the ambiance within the room made it feel like I was unwanted in the establishment. I simply smiled, walked passed him and asked if I could look at the menu. I then order 1 Mochi piece. I find it a bit strange that a singular piece is 5 dollars but that's besides the point. The same server opens the refrigerator and pulls out the Mochi with his Bare Hands that I witnessed him use to eat his food and wipe his face before I walked into that door. I actually live in Japan and eat mochi regularly. There was nothing special about that Mochi in taste being 5 dollars. The entire strip where this is located is amazing, every establishment treats neighboring staff kindly, EXCEPT for this place. I've been to other Kusshi's and this is by far my least favorite one. I don't like to give out low reviews as this is my first ever one. But this is just improper etiquette.
