I would have to go again to give a better opinion of this restaurant. I came during 'Happy Hour'. I think that was the best decision I have ever made! The deals on their happy menu hour are fantastic!!!!! Sushi rolls for 3$??? That's amazing! Now, it wasn't all the rolls, but it was there for the California roll, the Shrimp, the Alaskan, the Avocado, and the Spicy Crab Meat roll. It was a good selection! And the prices for these on the regular menu were much higher so it was a really good discount! They had the special rolls at a discounted price on the "Happy Hour" menu as well. They had the dragon roll, the Red Skins roll and I forgot the rest. Still, it was a very good deal for the special rolls! The appetizers on the happy hour menu were also listed at just 3$! That was amazing as well! We ordered the Roti Canai and it was actually really good! The curry was the perfect amount of spice and I also really liked the chicken and veggies that were in it too. It was a large appetizer and that was really cool! I thought that maybe, they would have given a smaller size because it was the "Happy Hour" version but it was the normal size! That was a really good aspect! This is an Asian fusion restaurant so this one was Indian inspired. The curry sauce was really good and I really liked it! I may come back and just order that! They had other appetizers on the "Happy Hour" menu. There was a shumai, harumaki, edamame, and gyoza. I ended up ordering the shrimp, the spicy crab meat, and the alaskan roll. I really liked the alaskan roll. The shrimp roll, I shall warn you, was not shrimp tempura! It was shrimp with cucumber and avocado. It was good, but I wasn't expecting it like that. But that was fine because it tasted fresh. If I come back though, I would probably order the California roll. I would also want to try the eel and perhaps the yellowtail! I liked the alaskan roll but I think it was a little bland. I don't know why, but it was missing something. I'm not sure what, maybe a sauce, but it was fresh and it tasted nice ! I ended up liking the Red Skins roll the best. The Spicy Crab Meat roll was my least favorite. Personally, I thought it was my least favorite due to the fact that there was literally just the crab meat that you can find in any California roll with a little bit of spicy sauce. It didn't taste spicy at all, and it was just the crab meat. I got tired of the taste quickly, but then again, I did order the spicy crab meat so obviously, it's only going to have the crab meat. I wouldn't order it again, but it was nice to try something new! Another thing I liked about the sushi was the amount of rice. They tended to put a little bit less rice on their sushi than many of the other sushi places around and I am not a big rice person so I actually really liked the lessened amount of rice. I want to come back for sure to try the other appetizers and the other items on the menu. I really liked the Red Skin roll so I will have to come during happy hour! I will be coming back to maybe try some of their other items on the menu. Like maybe the teriyaki chicken, the thai or the other dishes! read more

Just had sashimi lunch there and I really thought it was delicious and I'm pretty picky on sushi. The presentation was really nice, they served it over ice and it had this little blue light below and a flower. The fish was really fresh and the pieces cut just right. Looking forward to exploring some other items on the menu later. The setting was lovely, and the service was very friendly too. Definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Located in the Halstead Square area of shops and apartments, Passion Fin was a unexpectedly delightful discovery. It is one of those classic places that doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you step in you find a quaint, cozy restaurant that is far from the usual cliche you find at asian restaurants in our area. We went for a variety include straight sushi, a roll and tempura. I will not claim to be a sushi expert by any means, but found everything incredibly fresh and the role and tempura fresh takes on standard fare with a lot of interesting flavors that I would not have expected from a sushi restaurant. That may not sit well with traditionalists, but we loved it. Service was top notch and the price, including a bottle of wine, was very reasonable. Our only word of warning, and this goes for the area, is parking can be a real pain. Pop down one "block" to Ovio and use the complimentary valet. The food scene in Merrifield is taking off and Passion Fin is one of the anchors. read more

Rusia and I went here the other week through a groupon deal and tried out the food. The ambiance and the feel of the restaurant was nice but there are two to three large TVs that constantly play football which I think is really distracting. It makes sense because there is no barrier between the bar and the general seating area, so I can imagine that the TVs are mostly for people blowing off some steam at the bar. But as a "general seater" it was a bit distracting. As for the food, we ordered many rolls and a few sashimi pieces, and for its price we felt that the food was a tad subpar. Perhaps we are spoiled from the wonderful sushi/sashimi restaurants in Flushing, New York. The sushi was enjoyable, but some of the sashimi prices were a little higher than what we were spoiled with. We tried the striped bass and the yellow tail seemed fresh with lots of textures. We would recommend it as an experience, but for the average penniless sushi lover out there, you may want to look around for other sushi/sashimi restaurants before deeming Passion Fin the victor. read more

My favorite sushi place in the area - fresh and nice presentation. Service quality varies though. Unfortunately, the parking situation is terrible and valet is sometimes understaffed and leaves your car unattended. read more

Good, but not great, Americanized sushi. They have good prices for happy hour, but theres not one thing that I found memorable about the food. I think I've been here a total 4 times (mostly for the happy hour) and the most memorable item was the shrimp toast (the cream cheese filled grease concussion), and even that wasn't too good. Although the service has always been courteous and friendly. Between the tight parking, and lack of flavor, I would probably not visit again. read more

Place has a clean and modern feel when you walk in. Things that were decent: Tom Yum soup, salad, shrimp tempura, and the spicy tuna roll. Nothing outstanding, but enjoyable. I also enjoyed the throwback music they were playing (90s, early 00s). Service was friendly and timely on refills. The fail of the place was the drunken noodle (with chicken) and the general tso's chicken. Both dishes looked nice, but had absolutely 0 flavor. Simply, bland. Had to add hot sauce to give it any resemblance of flavor. Tried my sister's steak and shrimp hibachi and it was average. In conclusion, don't order anything but the sushi unless you want to be utterly disappointed. read more

Hands down, the best, sushi restaurant. The size of the rolls are great and well worth your money. The Chinese entrees are amazing. They give you a healthy portion and use REAL WHITE MEAT chicken. No Asian restaurant I have been to uses real white meat chicken. It is so delicious. The chicken lettuce wraps are good also. My boyfriend and I go here very often. It is a large restaurant and very nice! All the rolls we have had are delicious! read more

Fantastic happy hour. Split some large sakes and appetizers - drank and ate plenty and the check was less than $30. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

It's a great place with some nice decorations/features inside. rolls look very nice and have great taste. read more

Meh. I've experienced better. This pretty much sums up my experience at Passion Fin. This is not exactly a sushi restaurant, nor is it exactly any other type of "Asian" food. For me the tell-tale sign of inauthentic food is the Chinese waving arm cat at the front of the restaurant. I noticed it immediately. My expectations were lowered (I did not know for certain that this was a chain, though I suspected). The restaurant is large and clean and the servers are nice and attentive. I think my tea must have been repoured at least a dozen times (this tells you a lot about how much tea I drink). The drink selection is otherwise pretty meager (I have a low opinion of most places whose first two beers on the list are Bud Light and Miller Lite). OK, well whatever, the real problem here is the tasteless sushi. Of course, this is a problem of too many sushi restaurants and a shortage of truly tasty fish. This place don't care though. It just throws the cheap tasteless yellowfin on rice and hopes that you never ate at any place that helped develop your palate. The extravagant rolls (the lifeblood of such hokey sushi joints) were similarly tasteless. Sure, you stuff something with a dozen ingredients, but at the end of the day, it tastes like slightly flavored rice and tempura crumbs. I was fortunately not paying for my own meal on this day, so I didn't look at any of the prices too closely. That said, I will take it on faith that this place is overpriced. Needless to say, I will not be back. read more

I liked this place... Very nice atmosphere and the plating of the food was fantastic. Everything looked amazing. The Rainbow Sashimi was very tasty. I would get that again. Very flavorful. The Dragon Roll on the other hand, was only okay. And while it was 8 pieces, was rather smallish. Would be comparable to 5 pieces at my favorite sushi place. I wish they had more lower priced options. These two dishes and hot tea was $24 before tip, and I left there still hungry. Our server wasn't around enough either. We had empty cups of tea for long periods of time. It wasn't terrible, but could have been better. Other than that, he was great. read more

Deliciously cooked. Great food sizes and quality delivery service. Always consistent and the top go to.

I don't know what the hype is about this place. We ordered a good amount of sushi and was dissapointed. They mash the fish that goes into the sushi. Why do that? that only means that you are masking the freshness of the fish. Never going back. If you want a good quality sushi- go over to Ariake read more

This intimate sushi restaurant is totally worth checking out. Food is always fresh and flavorful. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The sushi chefs are always creating beautiful sushi displays. read more

I had this for delivery one day for lunch. Two rolls and a soda cost me almost $30 with tip. And to top it off, the fish wasn't even very fresh. It was mushy tasting in my mouth and I didn't finish for fear that I was going to get sick from what I'd already eaten. Never again will i patronize this place. What a rip off. read more

I like! I like! I went in for a lunch menu and I liked how I could pick 3 rolls for $12.99. Less rice but more fish inside! It was delicious and satisfying :D I always felt like merrifield needed a good sushi place and now we've got one! I will defibitely be back with my husnad next time. The dark/wood interior is not my thing but everything was clean and modern. read more

Finally some good sushi in the DC area! I moved to DC almost a year ago from the Bay Area and have already given up on sushi in town completely. Everything is always ridiculously over priced, with tiny portions, and the fish is tasteless! Not at Passion Fin though!!! Finally a sushi restaurant with delicious quantities where the quantities are filling, and the pricing is fair! Thank you for restoring my faith in the east coast! read more

This is the only place in NOVA that has amazing sushi! Every roll we got was delicious (Amazing roll, Sunset roll, and spicy trio roll). All of the sushi is a reasonable price and you get large rolls that are well worth the money. They also have the best crab and asparagus soup I've ever had. There are huge chunks of real crab meat. It is a must have! The restaurant has a great feel, very modern and the design is great! I can't wait to keep coming back here :) read more

Server was very attentive. I ordered the spicy crab roll, it was fresh and tasty. definitely recommend.

Amazing! Have gotten it via delivery (doordash) several times and consistently amazing! Love their sushi and chicken hibachi, love that some options come with a side salad or miso soup. The miso soup is also one of the bests. read more

Went with a friend for lunch and will definitely be back for more with the family. I had the 5-piece sushi lunch, which also comes with some tuna rolls. My friend had the 3 roll lunch. His plate came out and it looked like it was enough food for two people - he was stuffed. But I am getting ahead of myself. Lunch came with Miso soup, and it was a good example - tender tofu, pieces of well cooked seaweed, and very savory broth. Immediately I began to anticipate the nigiri sushi. The 5 piece sushi lunch is perfect portion for lunch. I am a poor identifier of fish, but I think it came with a lean tuna, squid, fatty salmon, red snapper, and yellowtail? Anyway, the fish temperature was excellent, and all very fresh. There was no hint of dryness or toughness - good moisture and texture. The squid and yellowtail were especially tasty, followed by salmon. The tuna was a very lean cut, so it was firm and had a metallic taste to it - not a bad piece of fish, just not the most tasty cut. The red snapper was also good, with a slight sweetness to it. The rice had the expected tangy hint, well cooked to a firm consistency, and again, the right temperature. I am sure you can find even better sushi, but this quality level for the price is outstanding. The tuna roll was a good distraction between the nigiri peaces. Pickled ginger has a lot of bite. In all, a very good lunch for the price. The menu seems to offer quite a bit more so I am eager to comeback and explore it a bit. When we went the restaurant was pretty quiet at what was probably peak lunch hour on a weekday. It deserves a lot more business. read more

This rating/review is for their Happy Hour Passion Fin is one of my favorite happy hour spots! I've checked out several sushi restaurants for HH and I always end up wishing I had just gone to Passion Fin. It's from 4:30 - 6:30 and their menu is great - $3 apps and rolls, $7 specialty rolls, $3 beers, $5 house wine, $5 sake and so on. The Redskins roll is my favorite! Service is friendly, sushi is fresh and the food comes out fast. read more

I love their Redskin roll and shrimp volcano (appetizer). I go here for their special rolls. They also have Chinese American and Thai dishes so I can go with friends who might not necessarily want sushi--Everyone can find something from the menu that they enjoy. read more

Very good food. Excellent atmosphere and great service. Really enjoyed the sweet potato sushi and the veggie dumplings. It would be nice if they had more vegetarian items, but there is sufficient selections on the menu and they can make any of their noodle dishes with a sub of tofu. read more

Pretty good sushi rolls. I've only eaten the sushi rolls here and not the other things so this review is based only on all the rolls and specialty rolls. All of them are so good. As you can see, we always order more than we can eat. This boat of all specialty rolls were for 2 people, lol. But we always order as if we are 5 people.

I came here for lunch on a weekday. The sashimi did not taste fresh and the rolls were extremely small for the price and was only okay. I felt queasy after my meal so I think I was right about the quality of the fish. I live walking distance but I would rather drive to a better quality sushi restaurant. read more

Not a bad place to eat. There is parking all around and it's free so it makes it easy to visit. The quality of fish was good though not amazing. I loved the food options. If your not in the mood for sushi, you can have Thai or Chinese. read more

Came here for dinner late afternoon on a Saturday. Parking is in a free parking garage just around the corner. The place was empty when we arrived, but quickly filled up! We ordered a spicy seafood salad since kani sald was not on the menu. It was pretty good, although I would have preferred a kani salad. One of their specials of the day was toro sushi, but at $15/piece we opted for a seared toro appetizer at ~$12. The toro was thinly sliced and melted in my mouth! We also ordered a Flamingo roll and another roll that was on their daily special menu. They were both of good quality but neither "wow"-ed me or my boyfriend. I would consider coming here again with a coupon or another Groupon. Definitely a solid place for sushi, but nothing over the top. read more

I tried passion fin for the first time today with my fiancé. I am so picky about my sushi and this place blew me away. Every single thing I got on the menu (lychee martini, edamame, 4 different sushi rolls) was amazing. The service was great too! Our waiter was super attentive and the manager even stopped to talk to us and ask us about the food. Blown. Away. We will definitely be back again! read more

We came here with the expectations hat we could just relax and enjoy some sushi. However, that was not the case. When we were sat, our server came up to us and asked us for drinks, we didn't even have the chance to open up the menu. She constantly came up to check on us, and it felt rushed. When we finally decided we wanted appetizers, she took our orders of edamame and soft shell crab. After we spent some time looking at the sushi and choosing our rolls, we wondered where our appetizers were. But didn't ask her because we assumed they would be out soon. We were wrong. After putting in our orders she promptly forgot to put in our appetizers. When we asked her about it she asked us if we ordered appetizers? ... Then she rushed to put them. She checked up on us so many times and rushed us and yet forgot to put our orders in. I'm not impressed. And it wasn't even busy, apart from us she had another table that was in the middle of their meal and another table closing out. read more

We've been here a few times and the service is always good and the food is always satisfying.

Where do you start?! The sushi is fresh as can be and more beautiful than anything I've ever seen. My favorite was the Whitefish Tuna roll cause it was big had all sorts of stuff paired with it and came out hot. All of their special rolls were amazing, Redskin and Sunrise Roll being our favorites. I don't think I can tolerate anything less than the quality of service and food they provided for a sushjoint. They definitely spoiled me. I will be spreading the word! read more
