Modan: A Pleasant Modern Japanese Lunch Tucked into a prime Tysons location, Modan makes a polished first impression with its sleek, modern décor and attentive service. Its $30 three-course prix fixe lunch is designed as an approachable introduction to the restaurant's modern Japanese cooking. Started with the Yellowtail Jalapeño and Salmon Carpaccio--both quite fine, with distinctly different textures and a clever Japanese sensibility. The Filet Mignon with truffle sauce was tender and nicely cooked, with a subtle ponzu-like Japanese accent. The truffle presence, however, was rather restrained--almost playing hide-and-seek on the plate. The added sashimi plate was above average: the fish was fresh and well handled, though not necessarily more distinctive than what one might find at other good Japanese restaurants. Dessert was equally pleasant: the mochi and gelato were both above average without being particularly revelatory. Overall, Modan delivers a polished, enjoyable lunch experience. I liked it--and would happily return to explore more of the menu.

An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely top-notch: attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced without ever feeling intrusive. My wife and I opted for the tasting menu with the wine pairing, and every course was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully matched. The food was creative, expertly executed, and easily among the best meals we've had in the Tysons area. As an unexpected bonus, we even spotted Alex Ovechkin dining there, which made the evening that much more memorable. If you're looking for a special occasion restaurant or just want to treat yourself to an exceptional meal, Moran is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back.

Sake Flight

Had an exceptional omakase experience for Mother's Day. From the moment we walked in, the service was polished, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling pretentious. We tried the Chef's tasting menu. Every course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully paced, allowing the quality of the ingredients to truly shine. The fish was incredibly fresh, the flavors were refined and balanced, and the craftsmanship behind each bite felt worthy of a Michelin-level dining experience. The attention to detail -- from the sushi rice to the premium cuts and elegant plating -- showed a level of care that's hard to find outside of major culinary cities. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between modern luxury and intimate omakase tradition, making it ideal for a special night out. The staff's knowledge, professionalism, and passion elevated the entire evening. Modan is easily one of the most impressive Japanese dining experiences in Northern Virginia and a true gem for sushi and omakase lovers.

Wow. What a very high-end restaurant! I love the vibe and design of the restaurant. Deff a spot where wearing pajamas or gym clothes is not suggested. lol. Loved our waiter, he was very entertaining and gave us a great experience. We did the Modan Tasting Experience (Six Course Meal*). My apologies for not taking note on what is each dish, but we enjoyed the meals. We still had room for more food, so if you have a big appetite, just keep in mind this will not fill you. lol. So many options to choose from! I really enjoyed their sushi so I would definitely come back to eat their sushi. I would recommend this spot!

(R) Lychee Highball and (L) tiger punch
Kimberly S.

This is my new favorite happy hour in Tysons. We came for ladies night and had a blast!!!! The restaurant is modern and clean, beautiful high windows and vibes are great. I was genuinely impressed with the service, professional bartenders, attentive servers, it was a smooth operation. They always offered something and checked on us attentively. The quality of the food and drinks are impressive too. Matching with everything else about this restaurant. I really recommend the tiger punch but you can't go wrong with anything. The minor inconvenience is parking, they validate for 90 minutes but we spent much longer here. Despite this, I cannot wait to come back.

Edamame - decent.
Ani J.

This is a very end Japanese restaurant in Tyson's corner. It was recommended by our cousin and we decided to give it a try for my husband's birthday. We love the Wren, which is another high end Japanese place is Tyson's. So we're super excited to try this one. If you are a non-vegetarian, you have plenty of delicious options. However, as a vegetarian, the options are there but limited. Here is what I ordered: - Edamame: got the non spicy version and it was good. - Cauliflower: this was too bland for my liking. Didn't enjoy it that much. - Veggie Sushi: this was quite good. It had a good blend of veggies in there. - For dessert, we got the creme brulee and absolutely loved it. The service was excellent at this restaurant. Our service was superb and made sure we were always taken care of. The ambiance is super cozy too. I would love to try their fried rice next time. I feel that Wren has more veggie options, but I still recommend this place for vegetarians. Give it a try.

Amazing ambiance and service! The restaurant itself is beautiful, great vibes for a date or special occasion. However, the Japanese food was decent, not the best, didn't taste authentic, but more like americanized Japanese fare. You don't get a good bang for your buck either, as portion sizes are small. The chicken karaage is usually my favorite appetizer to order at Japanese restaurants, but the portion sizes here much too small, and the karaage did have a good crisp to it. But they do give a considerable amount of dipping sauce to go with it. The miso soup also had a watered down taste, the miso flavor was not as strong or bold, although I did like the tofu pieces in the soup! The positives were definitely their cocktails and desserts, I enjoyed the Tanuki Tail cocktail and their Yuzu sorbet and Matcha Cheesecake! I would mostly just come back just for their bar, dessert, and overall vibes.

Wagyu dumplings
Bobby R.

Very disappointing experience at Modan. The prices suggest a premium dining experience, but the food simply didn't deliver. The biggest letdown was the Wagyu dumplings. For the price, they felt like a complete rip-off. The filling was underwhelming, lacked any real Wagyu flavor, and the dish was nowhere near worth what was charged. Overall, the quality of the food did not justify the high price point. I've had much better sushi and Japanese food elsewhere for significantly less money. The presentation was decent, but taste is what matters, and this meal fell far short of expectations. I don't mind paying premium prices when the food is exceptional. Unfortunately, this felt overpriced, overrated, and not worth a return visit.

Dessert!
Jinny K.

Stopped by with a friend on a Sunday night with reservations. I don't think reservations were necessary though because it was pretty empty. This is not to say the food is bad but the restaurant is very hard to find! It's hidden at the back side of the Heming apartment building. We ordered a lot of food and everything was super tasty. I liked how all the flavors were not too aggressive and complemented each other very well. The presentation of the desserts was crazy too! The server explained all our menu items thoroughly and guided us through the selection process. I would recommend for a girls night out or a date night. It has a calm moody elegant vibe. Will definitely be back!

Service: 5 Decor: 5 Food: 2.5 We went for omakase and sat at the chef's counter. This was one of the biggest disappointing omakases I've ever had. And at that price, I'm not impressed. The chef was nice but the actual courses left a lot to be desired. The flavors weren't therefor those that weren't just fish. The presentation was fine. The fish was fresh but nothing to sing home about. I think the chef could have been more engaging about what we're eating. The sake was great- we ended up getting two bottles. Prices are a bit steep overall- def an amount we're willing to shell out for quality omakase. Not this. The restaurant itself is beautiful- so maybe a work event would be fitting.

Wagyu tacos
Shirley W.

The food was decent but the timing of the arrival of the plates were abysmal. First off, they messed up my drink order, said they were going to fix it but never did until I brought it up again. We were a party of 4 and essentially 3 out of the 4 had to sit and watch while the 1 meal came out. The meals arrived one at a time. 1 person would eat their meal while the other 3 watched. Then another person's meal would arrive and the 3 would watch them eat. For the price point of the restaurant it was a really bizarre dinner service. This alone is enough for me to not recommend or return for another visit, which is disappointing because i felt like there was high potential.

Carol K.

I actually enjoyed everything we ordered. But the prices are a bit on the higher side for what you get. Also they charge extra for cucumbers (for uni sashimi) and jalapenos (rice dish wasn't spicy enough so asked for extra). My favs were the scallop, tacos and Indonesia hot pot rice thing. Sort of reminded me of bibimbap. Our server forgot our first order of drinks I think cause it didn't come out till first dish was done and we ordered everything at once. Liz bartender in training was running food came by a few times to check up on us and explain things. Even gave me a mini walk around tour of the restaurant. Super sweet and adorable! We got a huge dessert platter everything on it was good.

Firecracker

Went for a girls night, had an amazing waitress. Personalized customer service experience. Food was decent, favorite dish was the firecracker sushi and yellow tail appetizer.

Anniversary | Menu | Vibes…read more Anniversary - We celebrated our wedding anniversary over Sunday brunch, which was a great option with an infant at home. The restaurant was about 50% full when we arrived at 10 a.m., making it relaxed and easygoing. The staff made the occasion feel special with complimentary champagne, an elevated table setting, and a signed anniversary card from the team. Small touches, but they made a big difference. Menu - The menu has a good range while remaining relatively simple and focused. The pairings are clearly well thought out. I had the chicken sandwich with fries and considered substituting the tater tots, but the staff strongly encouraged me to stick with the chef's recommended pairing. They were right. The fries complemented the sandwich well, and I appreciated a staff confident enough in the menu to steer me toward the chef's vision. Vibes - Great ambiance. It's an ideal date spot while somehow remaining very family-friendly. About a quarter of the tables had kids under 10, yet the restaurant never felt loud or chaotic. The finishes and decor are simple but elevated, creating a space that feels special without being overly formal. Pro tip: There's a parking lot across the street, and the restaurant validates parking. Easy and convenient. Pro tip: Get a reservation. I expect this place to become increasingly popular over the next 3-6 months as word gets out about the food, service, and overall experience.

The ambience is a nice modern vibe, great for casual dinner, not too expensive. The food is decent, all up to standard. All perfectly cook with some safe creativity. Nothing that blows your mind but cannot expect that at $65 these days. Greens on toast is nice and refreshing. The citrus salad is good too but nothing too unexpected than it looks. Mains with salmon and pork chop are solid. Not too memorable but happy to eat. Desserts are ok ... but their brunch is more memorable with their pancakes.

I will say the restaurant is elegant and beautiful, and the food was savory and sweet just amazing, but it is the staff who went above and beyond to make the high tea memorable. This is my third bridal shower. I have given at the Ritz Carlton in Tyson's corner, and I would go no other place. Let me start out by mentioning a few exceptional people. I started planning this in the beginning of the year and Sriram Hariharan is one of the most giving, caring and supportive person I know. He put me in touch with all the right resources. He would follow up to see how things are going. I would say his detail to customer service and experience is exceptional. Next is Rohit Ray who assisted every step of the way helping me with my attendee numbers , the set up design and more. He was there throughout the whole party. Rohit's kindness and grace that is unwavering. Finally, our server Astrid. She oversaw my last shower in January and I know we were in good hands when I saw her last Saturday. she is truly A+. She made sure the event went smoothly. Was proactive in helping us get things organized, and when one of the guests reported she was a vegetarian she made changes so her tea party food was vegetarian. The entire celebration was impeccable. I had 26 people attend and one person shared they've experienced three high teas in London and the experience at this party was the best one yet. After the party ended, I received so many calls telling me how elegant the party was, how exceptional the service was. And how wonderful all the food was. I will give honorable mention to Smail and the director of valet who helped us bring up the party favors and flowers and more. my heart is full. It was a magical experience we will continue to talk about.

Nue was the fine dining recommendation, and I have to say it was a great introduction to Vietnamese cuisine. As far as parking, there is a garage within walking distance of the stores and restaurants, so parking was pretty convenient. The restaurant itself was beautifully designed. It was dimly lit, spacious, and had a really nice atmosphere. Our waitress was also very knowledgeable about the menu and offered some great suggestions, which was especially helpful since I wasn't very familiar with Vietnamese food. The menu was pretty expansive, and I have to say some of the cocktail descriptions immediately caught my attention. I tried the Lychee Sunset Fizz, made with Hornitos Blanco Tequila, lychee liqueur and lychee, calamansi, yuzu and grenadine. I tend to go for sweeter drinks so this was a nice balance. For food, the Seafood Chả Giò was one of my favorites. It had wild Gulf shrimp, lump crab, Berkshire pork, taro, carrots and fresh herbs. It definitely seems to be one of their headlining items because it was something I noticed quite a few people ordering, and I can see why. But my absolute favorite was the Snow Crab Fried Rice. It had hand-pulled snow crab, shrimp, shallots, eggs and oyster mushrooms, and it was so flavorful and filling. Honestly, I regretted not ordering another portion to take home because I would have happily eaten it again later. All in all, I would definitely return to Nue to try some of the other items on the menu. I'm definitely not finished with my Vietnamese food journey yet, but this was a really great stop along the way. If the Snow Crab Fried Rice is any indication of what's still waiting for me on the menu, I have plenty more to explore.

However, some of the portion sizes could be better for the 5-course set menu. I believe it was $80 when we went in Sept 2026. We got the papaya Caesar salad, cha gio, hamachi crudo, main entree, and mango che dessert. Everything tasted great! But the cha gio was just 1 spring roll cut into 2 pieces, put on a PLATTER of herbs. It looks like a big plate but it was just 1 spring roll. The crudo again was elaborately plated but it was 1 tiny piece of fish. The fancy sauces it came with were a waste because the hamachi was barely a bite. My friend got the crispy chicken with coconut rice. I got that the first time I came and loved it. I wanted to try something new so I got the Bo Kho papardelle. It was just ok. I would not get that again. And the dessert was good. Overall, my 2nd visit was a bit disappointing due to the tiny portions for the price of the meal. Our waiter also disappeared half-way and came back for the bill. 20% is already included in your bill. I always tip 20% or more but with it already included in the bill, there's not much incentive, I guess. It was around 12:30pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was not that busy. Our waiter said he was on break... I wouldn't go there again unless it's for a celebration, initiated by someone else in my party.

The rolls were OK, but not as warm and soft as I'd like. I didn't try the sliders, but heard they were good. For drinks, I got a mocktail. The one I ordered had blueberry and a spice mix.

I had the steak salad and asked for my steak to be medium well which it was cooked to my liking. I just thought the steak could have been better seasoned and for there to be more dressing. For dessert, the waiter recommended the bread pudding and it seemed to be a popular option among their dessert offerings. Although I didn't try the bread pudding, the bride to be and her maid of honor ate it, and they both said it wasn't good and very thick. All in all, I'd say the ambiance is great, food is tasty, but service could be more attentive.
