Solid sushi spot in Vienna. We ordered a bunch of items, starting off with the takoyaki and the gyoza. The takoyaki was really good, and the sauce went with it nicely. The gyoza was good as well but nothing special. We ordered several sushi rolls as well, along with salmon and yellowtail sashimi. I don't eat a ton of sushi/sashimi, but both tasted very fresh and were tasty. I ordered the kakuni donburi for my main, and it was also tasty. The only complaint I have is I wished it had more of the Japanese pickles. Service was solid, no complaints. The restaurant is very cute. At first glance it doesn't look like it has much seating, but there is an upstairs area as well with more seating. I would definitely come again! read more

I've worked at the neighboring Sushi restaurant across from this place. Sometime a month or two ago, I got off of my shift and came inside this establishment. 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. read more

Ok I have been here before but again forgot to take pictures of my food or drink because I was a fight for my life in there. Now I really do love they have an upstairs sitting area which I have the last time I was here. I wanted to sit there, but there was a swarm of gnats or fruit flies everywhere!! Now I was thinking it was maybe just in the upstairs sitting area...no they were in the entire restaurant! I couldn't even enjoy my miso soup without having to continually swat them to not accidentally have any of them land on my food. When I ordered my sushi I couldn't even eat because I had to immediately put napkins over the sushi so nothing would land on my food! I ended up moving outside which was way better than sitting in the restaurant and this is why I have to give them a 3-star. Because this is very unsanitary as they were EVERYWHERE! Customers shouldn't have to be swatting gnats the entire time we are trying to eat. So I don't have any pictures of my food as I was scared one might land on my sushi. The Tokyo Tea was really good I think I had 3 of them. The wait staff were really nice...but they need to get those gnats under control. I'll be back maybe in another 3-weeks hopefully it will be better! read more

Kusshi is a wonderful gem somewhat "hidden" in the far left corner of Pike 7 Plaza. I visited on a Wednesday night and was surprised there was a good amount of people having dinner. There is seating downstairs as well as seating upstairs. The store is beautiful and clean with Japanese inspired wall paintings and floral decor. Our server for the night was Kat who did an amazing job. Very attentive, personable, and friendly. For a party of 3 we opted to try one of the sushi boats, specifically the "row boat" with 76pc. Everything is made fresh and tastes fresh. We loved everything from the sushi boat except for one of the rolls which I believe is the firecracker roll only because it was a lot spicier than we expected it to be so we couldn't finish that one. Other than that, for 3 people the row boat is plenty of food. We should've ordered the smaller boat because there was some sushi leftover but the seared salmon belly is a must! read more

Service: it was a quiet lunch and there was only one waitress on staff. She was great! Very sweet and put my order in promptly. Ambiance: very clean and beautiful. Love the murals - rabbit anime. There's also an upstairs dining area. Food: I ordered the sushi bowl with yellowtail and the Kusshi noodles to go. The sushi was fresh, rice was perfectly cooked, veggies crispy. I'll have to report back on the noodles but it looks great with beef, chicken and shrimp!! Update for the noodles: VERY GOOD. I like the slight spicy flavor. Had it the next morning so it reheated well. Thumb up :) I thought the meal was reasonably priced for Tysons. I received a special for my complex so wanted to give this restaurant a try. So glad I did. Thanks to the manager for extending a special for GOM!!! read more

Pretty decent sushi for the price and I do enjoy that their nigiri is assembled with more than fish and rice which gives good flavor to them on their own. The upstairs space is super cute as well and decor is very cute. I'm really impressed by the serves climbing up down the stairs overall solid sushi place that is still affordable read more

Sits in the Corner of a mall like plaza. Walked in and asked if they were open and then offered to have seating on the ground floor or upstairs. I chose upstairs. Was seated at a place with a view of the staff building my delicious meal. I ordered a sushi tartare, Obi and rainbow roll. All were tasty. The Obi was the most interesting. I didn't care for it but least I tried it. I added a hot green tea vice an alcoholic drink this go round. Great choice. Music that was playing in the background was also an interesting mix. read more

Dangerous mistake. I called ahead to ask if I was allowed to do a pickup order with a sesame allergy, they said yes of course. I wrote a note for each item on the online ordering system "SESEAME ALLERGY" and it shows printed clearly on the receipt. When I picked up, I made sure one final time to ask the manager to make sure there was no sesame, he promised there wasn't. I drove all the way back home, and whatdoyaknow... sesame seeds everywhere. You'd think they'd want to save money by using less ingredients? What's worse is we had been emailing back and forth and they decided to just stop replying to me. Do you understand I could have died? Do you know how much EpiPens cost? They don't care. read more

3.5 stars: a few great bites, mostly just okay. Would not go out of my way. Came here at an off time on a Sunday and was able to grab a seat upstairs. The decor in there is very cute. Service was a little slow at first, but it could be since we came at an off time, and it was their lunch break. Overall, they were very friendly and attentive. FOOD: ~ Yellowtail Crudo (4/5): Thick cuts of yellowtail topped with some chili oil crunch. Tasty and the chili oil crunch isn't too overpowering ~Dragon roll (3/5): Just okay. The seaweed wrapped on top blocked some of the flavor of the eel ~Uni taco (3/5): Great portion. California uni isn't my favorite (so personal preference), but it was nice and earthy with the brightness of the shisho leaf ~A5 wagyu taco (4.5/5): Wagyu was tender and seasoned well. Great portion. Sauce was good. Just wish there was some other topping to cut the richness ~Scallop taco (3/5): unfortunately the yuzu or maybe there was some kind of herb (mint maybe?) that just overtook the flavor of the taco. ~Bluefin fatty tuna taco (5/5): So good! No notes ~Sashimi sampler - 18 piece (3.8/5): good value. Overall fish quality, freshness, and taste was just okay Not a bad spot to visit if you're in the area, but probably wouldn't drive all the way out here for it. read more

The waitress was super nice and helpful. Don't forget to check in to get a free appetizer. I got the Philly roll, got beef (surf & surf), and nationals roll. I also got the California maki roll with roe, ovi, spicy salmon, and kusshi seared fatty salmon. The rice quality is so fresh and you know it's good when it doesn't fall apart. The seafood tasted fresh. My fan favorite is the kusshi seared fatty salmon. You can taste the smokiness which pairs well with the sauce on top. Also, the right chew texture. I like the seating upstairs. It's decorated with Japanese cherry blossom. I came here using the Groupon just make sure to include taxes in that total. They're one of my favorite sushi place. read more

This is a great place for sushi! We went there for lunch, and got the eel don, and the sushi taco trio. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! We sat at the top balcony area, and were treated with a Birds Eye view of the sushi chefs creating the beautiful dishes. The service was ok that day, we understood he was working by himself, and it was busy. We would go back if we are in the area. read more

Wes and his team know what they are doing. Came in on National Sushi Day of course and Alina was super hospitable making great suggestions.

Kusshi is a solid option in the Tyson's area for sushi and sashimi (plus other non-fish options if that's what you're in the mood for)! It was also surprisingly family friendly which is always refreshing with little ones. We ordered gyoza (with the option of steamed, pan-fried, OR deep fried!) and adegashi tofu to start, 3 rolls (Cherry Blossom, Volcano, and Chesapeake), as well as the shrimp tempura katsu curry entree. My son absolutely loved the adegashi tofu mixed with rice and my typically picky eater daughter was a big fan of the curry. The fish on the rolls were fresh and the slices were generous. For those who partake, they also had a great selection of Japanese beers (Orion FTW) and sakes as well. The staff is friendly and all of our dishes came out in a timely manner. We ate upstairs on the balcony area and we were still checked on frequently even though the servers had to walk up and down the stairs. We'll definitely come back again! read more

Had high hopes for this place... but... first impression, fruit flies all over our table... had to move... still had fruit flies, though not as many as upstairs. Decided to tough it out as it was getting late. Had the speed boat and chicken curry katau. Chicken curry katsu was bland, chicken was fried well but the curry was disappointing. Sushi was good but then when we got home, we were all parched and thirsty which usually means there was a lot of MSG. The only bad sushi was the octopus which had a strong fishy taste. I hope I'm okay tonight. Interior just didn't hit either, decor was nice but the place was just cluttered and messy. ***Update*** confirmed, I am not feeling well after our dinner... whether it was bugs in the veggies in the rice or curry... or that off tasting octopus sushi... something got me. Should have gotten the clue... that many fruit flies don't spring up just out of the blue... probably other sanitary issues... won't be returning. read more

Brought a friend and hubby here because the food is just that good. Service (2/5): for one of the visits, they lose stars for seating me, then ignoring me for 15 min (didn't even ask if I wanted a drink or appetizer while waiting for a friend. ) I had to walk downstairs to order my wings to start. Food(5/5): I brought hubby here a couple week ago and we tried the spicy rock shrimp, the Kusshi wings (my all time favorite) and the lava roll (favorite sushi roll!). read more

I ordered 6 different dishes, they taste like 2 different dishes, they basically change 1 ingredient and give it a different name. Ok, but... they don't taste good. Ugh. It's not the worst Sushi, but for the price they charge, I should've just gone to Giant's and grabbed some from their ready-made sushi bar. Cheaper and tastier. read more

Kusshi - Firecracker, Spicy tuna, Maryland, Spicy Mango - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

If it was based solely on sushi I'd do a 4-5. The sushi is really fresh and flavors go great together. Not to mention the pricing is great! The udon was extremely disappointing. The flavor just isn't there for this dish. When I went to pay he asked if I wanted it boxed and I said no because the meat was terrible. He said yeah was the beef too hard and then eluded to the fact that it was a pretty consistent problem they have. Flys are all over the place as well so it was kind of gross constantly having to swat away the flies constantly. read more

Very delicious with affordable options! My bf and I decided to come here during Black Friday.... But no lines and also we didn't want to die in the Tysons traffic - we just wanted some yummy sushi. There's an upstairs section, downstairs section, and an outside area for dining. We decided to opt for the upstairs view, just to see everything and wow.. kudos to the staff for walking up with our food lol I feel like I would die walking up there with food (spiral-ish stairs). Kusshi has several locations, and I'm glad that I was able to try this spot out. They had delicious appetizers, chirashi, and we tried some sushi options such as the seared salmon belly, tiger roll, and (I think?) dragon roll. Everything was superb and arrived in a timely manner, and also with beautiful presentation. From our viewpoint, we can also see the sushi being made from essentially a bird's eye view. Our favorite portion of the meal was of course the seared salmon belly... so definitely try that if you're a salmon lover! There's also a happy hour menu here, so maybe if I'm in the area and there's traffic, I'd stop by here to kill some time and eat some sushi! There's a lot of other options I want to try here, so I will be back!! read more

I did order sushi for delivery from here and my driver was not timely with the delivery so I am sure the fish would have been fresher in person. However, everything I tried was pretty yummy! I just got basic salmon nigiri, a salmon roll, and a yellowtail and scallion roll. All were great and not fishy but tasted fresh enough. I also tried the chicken yakisoba which was decently tasty and had a lot of flavor both from the sauce and the inclusion of lots of veggies. I would come back and try the sushi in person for sure. read more

If you have trouble deciding what roll to order, I highly recommend the Phoenix roll!! It was the perfectly crispy and crunchy and you just can't go wrong with shrimp tempura with spicy tuna on top. Also we ordered takoyaki and I loved that they put lots of bonito flakes. I think the vibes of this place downstairs is a lot more casual but upstairs is pretty cute with little floral decorations on the stair rails. I also thought the server was really kind and we didn't have to wait that long for the food or the check on a Thursday evening. I would definitely come back! read more

Kusshi - Ahi Tuna Salad - very yummy!!! w/ firecracker sushi behind it. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Great place for mid tier sushi. Its better quality than ayce places but not as good as omakase places ofc. I ordered the seared salmon belly to share with my wife and it melted in our mouths. Will def be getting that again. You can tell they use sushi rice as well compared to others were its just regular white rice. The service was good, nothing amazing but not terrible. The regular, took our order, filled water, that was about it. The place itself is cool, the decor is fun and creative, high ceilings. The only awkward thing was the owner or someone sitting in the corner with papers and laptop like it was a study room. I assumed it was the owner as they were talking to staff. Not that big of a deal but just awkward as a customer imo read more

As a sushi-lover, I was pleased with the quality of the fish at Kusshi Ko! While I am familiar with the other concepts located in MD/DC, I was excited that this opened up in Tysons. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. The interior was colorful with two levels of seating. My table ordered the Sashimi Platter and it was both beautifully decorated and delicious! The menu itself is pretty affordable compared to other high-end sushi spots, but it doesn't shy away from the quality of the fish which I appreciated. Our server was very accommodating and attentive, and provided us with great recommendations from the menu. Will definitely stop by when my sushi cravings tell me to. read more

PARKING: Free in the plaza it is located in. SERVICE: Great, friendly staff who were attentive even when we were seated on the upper level. SPICY MISO RAMEN: Ramen came with chashu pork belly, lava egg (soft boiled egg), corn, scallions, bamboo, nori, woodear mushroom, and bean sprouts. The spicy miso broth used is definitely spicier than other places. We asked for some non-spicy broth to help dim down the spiciness, which helped. Overall a good dish, but will not be ordering again and would rather try the tonkatsu or miso broth ramens. SEARED YELLOWTAIL: This is a spicy tuna roll with scallion and topped with seared yellowtuna, jalapeno pepper slices, and a dab of sriracha. Loved this and would totally get this again! SEARED SPICY SALMON: This is a spicy tuna roll with avocado and topped with seared salmon and spicy mayo. Loved this and would totally get this again! read more

Very cute sushi restaurant. Nice for groups or a cozy date. Sushi and sashimi was fresh and quality was average. As you can expect sushi here to be pricey since it is located in the heart of Tysons Corner. We got a big boat of variety of sushi sashimi chef's choice. We started with shishito peppers. These were perfectly sautéed and seasoned. We enjoined the ambiance of the restaurant, it was cute inside. Their service was good and friendly. I would recommend this sushi restaurant if you're looking for a sushi restaurant with casual yet cute ambience. read more

Kusshi has good sushi for a relatively cheap price! Their happy hour deals are pretty great with many of the items on there being around ~$10. I went in a group of three for happy hour and our total bill ended up bring less than $100 which I thought was a great deal considering the amount we ordered! We each got a chirashi bowl, seared fatty salmon and split a chicken katsu don, takoyaki, spicy tuna roll, then mochi ice cream for dessert. The staff is very friendly and everything came out in a timely fashion! read more

Kusshi - Great Freaking Food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Kusshi is a very solid option if you are craving sushi! Although their other items are not as consistent, it provides an option for others in your party that do not enjoy sushi. They have multiple locations spread out around the DMV area but their Tyson's location is conveniently located off Route 7 with plenty of parking. They have good happy hour deals and occasionally have coupons that pop up on their social media pages making a visit much more worth it. They offer all the standard maki and classic rolls in addition to some more unique specialty rolls and sashimi. The Chirashi was a good portion and had quality sashimi slices over a bed of rice. Their rolls have a nice servings of fish along with fresh ingredients and sauces to pair well on each roll. The service is good and we typically try to get a seat upstairs by the railing so you get a nice view of the murals and sushi bar! read more

Everything tasted fresh and I am definitely coming back to enjoy some of their other menu items. Service was quick and we got our food in a timely manner.

I had just finished a 10K and had a hankering for some warm noodles. Kusshi was available on GrubHub with an awesome coupon, so I took a shot. It was an excellent decision. I went for the veggie gyoza and ramen fully loaded. Everything was packed up nice and tight, so there was no leakage in the bag. And the presentation for being delivery was still spot on! I appreciated the options to add and remove toppings from the Ramen pretty easily. A lot of times it's just you get what you get. Taste wise everything was excellent. Gyoza was crispy and full of fillings. The ramen was warm with plenty of toppings. I would definitely order again :) read more

Kusshi - Ramen (Fully-Loaded) & Veggie Gyoza (6pc) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

This is a relatively new restaurant and I highly recommend!! 1. Reservation: recommend. They have 2 floors of seats, but they get full pretty fast, so it is best to have a reservation 2. Food: 4.5 stars - We got to try their special roll and it had everything! fish, shrimp, caviar.. it is like a mini sushi roll tower. Amazingly delicious! See the picture. It is a MUST try! - simple rolls were not very good. Doesn't have much flavor and not good. Just get their specialty rolls - Chicken katsu was super popular with the kids 3. Drinks: 4 stars Okay their tea was good, sake was good. But this SAKE JELLY SHOT was something cool! (see video) It is like a jelly but it is stored in a can, so it is hard to bring the 'sake' out, but it is SO UNIQUE. I have never seen it anywhere else and you should try it here! 4. Service: nice, accommodating and friendly. 5 stars 5. Location: is at a strip mall, so you don't have to worry about parking spot, lots of free parking All in all, I highly recommend this place. read more

I'm always down for sushi, and so is my friend so we stopped by for dinner last Wednesday. They have solid happy hour deals before 6:30 on weekdays, including beverages and sushi. Definitely take advantage of both! The one that caught my eye was the KUSSHI SEARED FATTY SALMON for 7.00 instead of 9.00! Listen, I know it's only a $2 difference, but it could encourage me to order one. NIGIRI SAMPLER (12 PCS) - 27 My friend and I both got a nigiri sampler each and ate each piece one by one and discussed our thoughts afterwards. A fun part about eating sushi with others is being able to talk about our preferences for the variety we got to try. The ones that stood out to me the most were both salmons (one had an interesting creamy/mayo truffle dollop), salmon roe, and red snapper. I didn't like the mackerel (really salty and fishy). Everything else was pretty forgettable. Good flavors, but nothing outstanding. KUSSHI SEARED FATTY SALMON We had ordered one, but they ended up giving it to us on the house, amazing. We both enjoyed the seared part of the salmon which always give it flavor and the creamy/sweet mayo sauce that was smothered all over the nigiri. Definitely would recommend giving this a try here! Overall, their quality is OK/above average, but nothing amazing. But that's justified by their price which is much cheaper than other sushi restaurants in the area. read more

I love sushi and recently discovered Kusshi Ko on Tiktok, so decided to give this place a try! We were seated at the upstairs dining area, which was like an open balcony feel that overlooks the sushi chefs (great for people-watching!) We also got an amazing view of the artwork on the wall, which beautifully represented Asian culture with some of the zodiac animals. We ordered an assortment of specialty rolls, including Cherry Blossom, Ovi, Lava, and Crunchy. The Lava was so delicious and creamy with so many different flavors and textures. Heck we ended up getting a second order of it. The presentation of dishes was creative and beautiful (even the two Lava rolls had different plating!) I gave 4-star rating due to service was okay for the most part. We ordered miso soup at the beginning, but never got it (it wasn't that important though). I also wished she checked on our table and refilled our hot tea for us. Overall, still a solid spot with fresh sushi that isn't overpriced read more
