I will definitely be back. The ambiance was clean, modern, and chic. read more

I very rarely give places a 5 star, but this one left me no choice. We came as group of friends( party of 5,by reservation made ahead of time) and found our table ready set, served with ice water. AMBIANCE: Very simple yet very comforting wooden interior design, plants, small warm lights everything combines into perfect harmony and creates calm and cozy atmosphere. SERVICE: Politeness and attention of personnel makes you feel important and welcomed, they will make recommendations ( up on what you like), split your bill by item and even calculate & split shared drinks( as bottle of wine as example) I mention it because in other places staff most of the times having troubles to split the check & prefer one person to pay it all. FOOD: great choice of starters, sushi&sashimi options and about 100 special rolls variety! We also enjoyed a lot a house miso soup and salad and a compliment from the chef When ordering sashimi, you enjoy generous pieces of high quality fish, all rolls combine just perfectly right amounts of ingredients ( not a lot of rice with microscopically small pieces of fish and vegetables) Everything is beautifully plated, perfectly fresh and delicious. I'm happily surprised that such an amazing place finally has been open in our area and I genuinely and definitely suggest to visit it! I'm surely coming back because there are so much to try still! read more

The Soft Shell Crab is really good. Crispy, oily, crunchy soft shell crab came with a soy sauce vinegar sauce. Definitely a highlight appetizer. They also gave us the house salad with a light citrus dressing and the miso soup came out hot and was well balanced with the tofu and seaweed. The steamed egg they gave us was simple but silky smooth. The seared salmon belly was really good--deliciously fatty salmon topped with a bit of guacamole and lying on top of a tart lemon slice; high salmon topped rice ratio. The sashimi for 2 had very good quality fish and beautifully decorated in a bird-cage afternoon high tea fashion--such a lovely presentation. They also gave us a coconut pandan ice cream which was so kind and unexpected. While I didn't see it on the menu, I loved the crunchy coconut and sweet simplicity of the ice cream. Will definitely ask them for it the next time I'm there. I was admittedly unsure if I was going to like this spot because I've been seeing it all over my Instagram However, the fish quality is quite good and the chef specialties are were thoughtful and very good. The location is clean, plenty of space and attentive staff. read more

We tried the location in Fairfax and decided to give this new location a try as well. Our favorite dish was the appetizer seared salmon belly. The Mafia, bonita senorita, last samurai rolls were mediocre at best. Mafia roll had a lot going on but did not party in my mouth. They do have a lot of different rolls to chose from. I would say both locations did not land on my favorite list of sushi restaurants. read more

Got their lunch special of the chicken teriyaki bento box & tako yaki. The miso and tako yaki came out piping hot. I think this place has my favorite tako yaki now due to that reason alone. The bento box was a good deal and I had to take home the rest of the chicken and rice because I couldn't finish it all though I would likely try another bento next time or another lunch special - I thought the teriyaki was fine, but I have had better. The tempura was nice and I'm glad it's part of all the bento. At the end of my meal, I got a complimentary piece of the spicy salmon sushi. Overall a nice place and I should also give their sushi a try. read more

What a find!! Fantastic food quality. Extensive menu. Management and staff who genuinely act appreciative of your dining there. Not only was the flaming salmon belly a sight to behold, they are using high high quality Spanish king salmon. The shumai was as good as any I've had anywhere, anytime. The Titanic roll was also very good. I'm very much looking forward to additional visits, to try more and more from their menu. read more

I was really excited to hear a new sushi spot opened up in the area. There's plenty of parking and it's a decent sized restaurant. I've heard good things about their Fairfax location so I was looking forward to trying this out. While they are new, they make up for it in other ways. My first attempt eating here was to-go, which I had to wait a bit to get greeted. While it wasn't the best experience, I could understand since it was busy and it just opened. This next go around, we went for lunch. Complimentary soup and salad. We had a few rolls not pictured here but I do want to highlight their apps. The salmon belly was really good. The sea-bass was melt in your mouth and perfect texture. We had a few rolls and were equally good. The service was great, servers were attentive and gave us everything we needed. The decor was really nice both at night and during the day. I am a huge fan of this place and will be coming back! read more

To preface, this spot has excellent service. Waiters always came by to make sure we were good, and even gave us complimentary Seared Yellowtail and Chutoro cuts, which were some of our faves from the night! Unfortunately, my disappointment was in the rolls we ordered.... the Mafia Roll was our favorite rolls that came recommended by our waiter, and a roll I highly recommend as well. Had like 5 different cuts of fish and multi-colored tobiko, and you would think it'd be too much packed into one big roll, but the flavors surprisingly balanced out well, a bit of sweetness, saltiness, and freshness! We also ordered the Flying Dragon Roll, Salmon Lover Roll, Scorpion Roll, and What a Match Roll, but unfortunately all were either bland or lacking texture, which was surprsing. read more

Arrived for dinner Saturday evening and treated to an attentive, appreciative and pleasant evening. Ambiance is lively with families filling the tables. Service is thoughtful and when it was slow, they made up for it with extras on the house. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty, with attention to presentation. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite as well as the experience. We did make reservations and it wasn't difficult on a Saturday. read more

Sushi Cho has been one of my go too sushi spots and with a second location opening up in Sterling, I had to check this one out! The Food: Went with two of my favorite rolls. The Salmon Lover and the Lady Killer. Both stood up to the same high quality and was delicious. The quality of the fish was fresh and left me full with how generous their rolls are. The Service: Service was great here! The staff were very friendly and attentive. Food came out in a timely manner and the staff always came around to check up on me and refill water. The Atmosphere: This location is much better than Fairfax in terms of space/parking. This location has plenty of parking, due to it being in a big shopping complex. The dining space inside is spacious and has more tables as well. Overall, a 5/5. Quality and service is the same as their Fairfax location. Always top tier on all fronts. Would highly recommend and I'll definitely be coming back. Especially with this location being closer. read more

I'm so glad there's a great sushi place in the area and I don't need to drive out as far! The speciality rolls are all amazing with generous toppings and portion sizes, so you'll def get full quick. I like the flaming salmon belly appetizer and it's quite a show when they light it on fire. The soft shell crab appetizer was pretty good! The shrimp tempura and okonomiyaki were standard. Our server was kind and brought out a mochi ice cream for my birthday and even had a happy birthday song playing which was very cute and nice. The inside is decorated nicely and clean. I highly recommend making reservations. read more

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. I ordered online and it was ready in 15 minutes. The lunch combo is a pretty good deal. It also comes with miso soup and a salad for around $30. The fish was so buttery and fresh. I'm from California and I still dream of this place!! read more

It's been a while since we came back to this neck of the woods. We wanted Japanese and saw this place right by our hotel and decided to give this place a try. We were immediately seated after arriving. The restaurant is incredibly elegant, with the rightmost wall being made entirely of wooden panels and the leftmost wall being black with wall-length windows. Little black spotlights illuminate the restaurant from the rafters and a light-wood beverage station can be seen near the windows. We sat on a long wooden booth that lined the wood-paneled wall and this booth also had regular wooden chairs as well. A similar situation could be seen on the opposite wall too. We ordered the following: Soft shell crab- this was nicely fried and crispy. This was a nice size. It's sweet and our favorite seafood. Hubs and I loved it. Daughter liked it but liked the sushi better. LOL. Tuna Mountain, which is tuna sliced & chopped ahi tuna with masago mixed with special sauce on top. Daughter said that this was delicious and soft. She wished there was more. Hubs loved that the sashimi was dressed for him because he figured the chef knows more than he does and this didn't disappoint. SO much better than just wasabi and soy sauce Fantastic Maguro taco, which is taco style Tamaki with fatty tuna, caviar and scallion. I got this because I was curious about how caviar would taste. We split it amongst the 3 of us. Daughter loved it and wished she didn't have to split it. LOL. Hubs wasn't impressed with caviar and didn't understand the hype, but he thought that the tuna was fatty, unctuous and awesome. Sushi and sashimi combo, which has 7 pcs sushi, 12 pcs sashimi and spicy tuna roll. We loved the fact that there weren't any white tuna/escolar. A lot of places give white tuna as a filler and it's controversial. The sashimi was fresh and thick. Hubs' only complaint was the shrimp was cooked. He preferred amaebi instead of cooked shrimp. This came with a soup and salad and it was good, as well. Salmon lover roll, which has spicy salmon roll topped with fresh salmon, and more spicy salmon. LOL. Loved this description on the menu! Daughter loved that it was nothing but salmon on this order and that's how she liked it. Hubs agreed. Towards the end of the meal, we got a seared salmon belly on the house. This was a very entertaining dish because of all the fire and it was tasty, too. It was the ultimate dessert. It was my birthday and we didn't say anything. I was really happy and surprised with this. We saw the table next to us order the sushi and sashimi for 2 and it was served in a bird cage. It was so cute that I wished I knew about this. Will order it next time! Service was great. They were quick and friendly. Will definitely return when in the area! read more

My wife and I just had the most amazing dinner date at Sushi Cho. The ambiance and vibes were pitch perfect, refined without pretension. We made to feel so welcome and comfortable by the friendly and pleasant staff. We pored over the menu, intrigued by all the creative and delicious looking rolls. Everything looked great, all of them tempting. We decided on the Lobster in Paradise. Buddha Delight, Tuna Ninja and November Rain rolls. The rolls were beautiful to look at, the skill and care of the chef was evident in every single piece. It was a perfect visual representation of what we were about to do experience. Every bite was a discovery. The flavors of each element was distinct, yet melded wonderfully with one another. The ingredients were very fresh and everything was exquisitely prepared. Service was attentive, either without being intrusive. This allowed us to rave with one another as we enjoyed every bite. If you appreciate good service, great food and a passion for delivering a great restaurant experience, then you must come to Sushi Cho. We are already making plans for our next visit this Father's Day. read more

Sushi Cho - The Golden Dragon - Japanese Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

We started digging in before we even had a chance to take pictures -- that's how excited we were to try everything! It was a wonderful experience that really highlights the chef's skill and creativity. We ordered the Crunch Roll, Tonkatsu, Yami Yami Roll (deep-fried), Philadelphia Roll, and a special roll prepared by the chef. Nearly everything we tried was exceptionally good. The Crunch Roll had a satisfying texture with fresh, flavorful pear (I believe), which added a nice touch of sweetness. The tonkatsu was hearty and well-balanced, offering great crunch and savory depth. The Philly roll was fresh, clean, and a classic done right. The chef's special roll was truly the highlight of the meal -- I believe it was seared salmon. It was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and packed with layered flavors that just melted in your mouth. You can tell the chef takes pride in each creation. The only item that didn't quite stand out as much was the deep-fried Yami Yami Roll. While it was nicely prepared with a great crisp texture, the flavor felt a bit mild compared to the boldness of the other dishes. It was still enjoyable -- just not as memorable as the rest of the lineup. Beyond the food, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The ambiance is classy yet comfortable, creating a refined but relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for both date nights and special occasions. Overall, Sushi CHO delivers high-quality sushi, impressive craftsmanship, and a beautiful dining experience. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi in the area. read more

Just as great as the Fairfax location! It was quiet on a weeknight maybe cuz they're newer opened but it was nice service and amazing quality fish. The rolls are hugeee! We only needed two to split. The Maui salmon was the best one. The kani salad was delicious I loved that dish. I tried a salmon sushi taco and it was good but not necessarily one I would get again.

We took the family here last night for the first time and had a really great all around meal and experience. The freshness and quality of the fish really stood out. The toughest part of the evening was deciding what to order because they have a large menu. We tried the yellow tail temaki (taco style sushi) (Hama Wasa on the menu), several of the special rolls - Lady Killer, Salmon Lover, Flower Roll and some salads and a tempura platter. The tempura was crispy and light. You could tell the oil was fresh. My daughter loved the miso soup so much she stole mine so I can only assume it was fantastic. Service was great - every person we interacted with was not only nice, they seemed genuinely happy and in a good mood, which is rare these days. We had a group of 6 and had a nicely partitioned off table so it felt like a private family dinner which we loved. We will absolutely be back. read more
