Chirashi is great (sashimi on a bed of gohan, sushi and infused rice). For lunch it even comes with udon on the side (udon is nothing fancy but it's two in one). For $20 it's good value. Presentation even for take out is amazing. See my photo. My chirashi comes with a golden bow. In contrast, I would skip spicy tuna poke bowl. Messy presentation. Not appetizing looking. Everything compressed. Tuna at the very bottom (should be the reverse). And it is way too salty. Stick to chirashi for lunch next time. For takeout we ordered for self pick up on UberEast. Smooth handoff. Not too long a wait. read more

Easily one of the most delightful neighborhood gems! Sushi Jip in Clarendon is a modern-authentic Japanese restaurant with a good combination of delicious traditional eats as well as fusion elements that are well put together. I love being able to mix and match appetizers in order to create a variety-meal - and Sushi Jip offers it all. Try their seaweed salad, and pair with crispy tuna bites - for an experience that is both healthy and slight decadent. The tuna bites are served on cubes of crispy fried rice (almost like a polenta wedge) and they are a must-have. And who doesn't love veg spring rolls in a light dipping sauce? Their spring rolls are different - good-different - in a "must have more" way - with the perfect balance of flavor and texture! Crunch on the outside, soft on the inside - and a really flavorful balance overall. The service is always great:) Street parking - or metro which is a 3-min walk. read more

We had a great girls night at Sushi Jip. The service was good. You can press a button on the outside tables to flag your server, and you can use a dry erase marker to check which sushi rolls you want on the menu. I think the quality of the sushi was fine. It was not the best sushi I've had in the area, but overall, it was decent. The veggie tempura and fried rice with chicken were very good. I really like the pretty display of the sushi rolls with the garnishes and decorative tree. We left very full and happy with our meal. read more

I'm just gonna say it- this is probably the best chirashi I've had in either of dc or va in the recent past. The pieces of sashimi were incredibly fresh and there was a huge assortment of variety (really hate the ones where they just give you salmon and tuna and charge you an arm for it)- over 14 to be exact. And they were thickkkk slices so not cheaping out on the ingredients. They also include a mixed rice under that has carrots, edamame, fish roe, and pickled radish, which also makes it fun and way more flavorful than your typical chirashi. And then another added touch is that they give you a packet of seaweed if you wanna wrap the rice and sashimi together for another change in combo/texture (and put that seaweed in a small pouch so it doesn't get soggy being in there- very clever). The tempura was also really good. There's onion, broccoli, sweet potato, squash, kabocha squash + 2 pieces of shrimp. I arrived early for my pick up and the person who greeted me (I think is one of the owners) was not only so nice to me but gave me candy since I had to wait a bit for the food. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and there is also an outdoor patio area to enjoy the weather if you'd like. Of the sushi/sashimi places in Clarendon, I'd say this place's quality of food and price is the top. read more

Wanted to get some sushi to go and saw good reviews on this restaurant and decided to give it a try. I was so glad I did! Even the picture doesn't do it enough justice, when I opened this meal I was genuinely elated by how good everything looked. Even better was that it tasted phenomenal. Everything was so fresh, you can just tell by the color of the fish. I can't remember the rolls I had but the flavor was really great and the portions were huge. I was not expecting it. Definitely recommend and if you can tell by the photos they have very nice packaging. read more

I have been going to Sushi JIP since I moved to Clarendon, and I have not gotten sushi anywhere else since.Great selection of maki rolls, sushi, sashimi, and hibachi. Not only is the food at Sushi JIP phenomenal, but the staff makes the meal an experience. My boyfriend and I were one of Sushi JIP's first customers, and they are kind enough to send a free dessert as a thank you with almost every meal we eat in the restaurant. The presentation is intricate and beautiful. Definitely story worthy! read more

This is an unassuming corner location just a little off Clarendon, a newish sushi place replacing the previous Japanese restaurant. It's not an overly extensive menu as it focuses on sushi and sashimi with also a section for ramen and chaohan. The shouyu ramen was a light and flavorful broth with grilled (didn't expect that but it worked) chashu and a perfectly done ajitama (soft boiled egg), and the maki sushi (California, salmon and avocado, and tuna avocado) were fresh and artfully served on a marble slate topped by a mini bonsai. Service is quick with a button to call the waitstaff, and despite closing at 9:30, they allowed us to stay a bit later on a Tuesday evening. Based on the ambiance, it seemed that its mainstay is more the weekday work lunches, but for a decent sushi or ramen meal, Sushi Jip will do the trick. read more

The presentation!! The velocity!! The service!! Stack ranking the rolls, the crab was definitely at the bottom for me. The California sunrise was at the top and phenomenal. The holiday roll was interesting and sneakily sweet -- the red and green masago is fun touch! Spicy tuna and eel are always staples and classics. I second every person that said that this is the best sushi they've had in the area. Stopped by around 5/5:30 on a Saturday and was immediately sat (although the place filled up a fair bit by 6pm). It's not too loud, the place settings are adorable, and the artwork is calming. We paid $84 including 20% tip for a filling, delicious, and glorious meal for two. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Easily and genuinely the best nigiri I've had in the DMV. The fish selection was top notch for the nigiri sets and they had very generous portions of fish. The fatty tuna was delicious and the shari was well-seasoned. Many places in this area have very little flavor in the shari, not here. Service was easy and relaxed with the button call system. It has a very relaxed atmosphere as well, not at all snooty. I will absolutely be back many times in the future. Great work, Chef! read more

What an amazing cute little place! Even with a big unannounced group on a weekday for lunch, they served us quickly and efficiently and were just so gracious. They had so many options, and while I had my eyes on the bento box, my tummy said go lighter and so I did. The rolls were fresh and exceptional with the perfect balance of flavor and of course the presentation was absolutely gorgeous. Truly a don't miss spot, and well worth your time and money. read more

Best sushi in the area, used to go to Sushi Cho out in Fairfax but we were so pleased to find this place that was much closer and comparable in quality! We've done takeout many times and their takeout sushi is phenomenal :) We love ordering their rolls specifically! read more

Solid sushi place and big inside and not crowded. Service was fast and I love that they have a button you can push for attention. The fresh salmon nigiri was the best and I could have ate more of that! I also tried a Tokyo mama roll and the yellowtail and scallion roll. Both were good but the yellowtail one was better! read more

Sushi Jip - Funky roll and Dragon roll - Japanese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I ordered five sushi rolls last night and was very disappointed. The box had a strong fishy smell as soon as I opened it, and the sushi itself was bland and lacked flavor. I've been coming here since before the name change, and the quality has noticeably gone downhill. Spending almost $90 on a meal that wasn't enjoyable was incredibly frustrating. Definitely not worth the money. read more

Fresh sashimi (salmon and hamachi), blue crab roll was tasty too! We ordered a scallop roll and a salmon speciality roll, all delicious. Service was lacking but with a quick pop in for lunch with my man, it didn't matter. read more

Firstly, I ordered a miso soup not thinking they would include it in my order for free so that was such a pleasant surprise! Not all sushi places do this. Aside from that, the main thing being the sushi of course was fantastic!!! I did not know what to expect when I found this place on door dash on a whim but safe to say I have now found a new go to sushi place for me since I just moved to the area. It was packaged fantastically well, the freshness of the fish was perfect and the special roll I got had the best flavor. Also think the salmon combo I got was the perfect portion and for a great price. I can't wait to order from here again! read more

Didn't realize I wanted sushi until passing by. Definitely stop in as the 6 signature rolls we decided to get were all outstanding.

This was the best sushi I've had in Arlington. I did get it to go so not sure about the dine-in service, but the takeout service was PHENOMENAL! They included 2 extra pieces of sushi and were so kind during the check out process. The sushi was wrapped beautifully and included a handwritten note from the sushi chef. The sushi was very tender and included a tiny bit of wasabi under the fish which was much appreciated--very authentic. read more

I'm so happy to have found Sushi Jip! The quality is always excellent, the fish is fresh and beautifully cut and everything tastes thoughtfully prepared. We usually order a mix of classic rolls and they never disappoint. My fiancé loves their hibachi chicken as well. It's flavorful, a hearty portion, and always ready on time for pickup. The staff are incredibly kind and truly go the extra mile. They always include little candies with to go orders, and on Halloween they even handed out extra candy goodie bags which was such a sweet and personal touch. The space itself is clean, modern, and inviting. You can tell they care deeply about their customers and take real pride in their work. Between the quality, value, punctuality, and thoughtful service, Sushi Jip has become one of our favorite local spots! read more

Great sushi and the staff is super friendly. They offer carry out and are available on Uber eats.

Really loved my experience here! I happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to pop in to see what was up. Apparently they just took over this restaurant space and are in the process of making the restaurant their own. The owner came and chatted with me a bit and was super friendly! He said they're about to overhaul the menu so I won't go into too much detail about the rolls I ate, but the fish was super fresh and the presentation was adorable. read more

I've only gotten takeout from here once and thought the sushi was much better than most of the other places I've tried in Northern Virginia as a dine in! Everything tasted fresh and high quality and the order was packaged beautifully with care. I love that they had real crab California roll, which can be hard to find in this area. I look forward to going back and hope Sushi Jip will be a successful restaurant that'll keep providing excellent sushi and service in the area. read more

Sushi JIP has arrived to stay! And the Clarendon neighborhood is grateful for that! The hospitality, service and food presentations are impeccable. The fish is extremely fresh and delicious. All cooked dishes are amazing too! The location used to host and old restaurant called Endo Sushi, that is no longer in business. I was very happy to have found SUSHI JIP operating is this familiar location, and because of it's exceptional quality, it has become one of my favorites Japanese restaurants in the DMV are! read more

New favorite sushi spot found! We came for dinner and ordered the salmon nigiri, jumbo sweet shrimp, and the special roll combo, which came with four whole rolls. Every bite was incredibly fresh, high-quality, and packed with flavor. The presentation? Absolutely stunning! Beyond the food, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance made for a perfect dining experience. We loved it so much that we placed a takeout order the next day, trying the sushi deluxe and uni sushi. Once again, everything was fresh and delicious; they truly don't miss! And I have to highlight the uni--so fresh, so buttery, absolutely incredible. If you like uni, this is a must-try! read more

Went here on Christmas Eve! One of the best sushi, ramen, and dessert I've had :) Everything from service to the meal was excellent. The food came out relatively fast as well. The appetizer was lightly breaded and nicely flaky. Ramen was very refreshing. Fish was fresh and flavorful. Anyone that isn't sure what to get, highly recommend the Sushi Special, Sashimi Deluxe, and Super Dragon! So worth it. They are a 5/5 stars in every category.

We had a great dinner here tonight! For newcomers or long-time fans of the prior restaurant here, I recommend giving Sushi Jip a try. We live in the neighborhood and were regulars of Endo Sushi (the restaurant in this space before the owner retired). We were quite sad to see Endo go! This is our second time to Sushi Jip and enjoyed it quite a bit. The waiter was very friendly and good. The opening salad and soup were tasty. Our salmon avocado roll was fresh and well made. It came out quickly. My wife had bulgogi and fried rice. Terrific flavor and tender meat. Large helping, and she took the extra home. I had the shrimp hibachi--not my usual order but felt right. Generous serving of shrimp, vegetables, and fried rice. Great flavor and beautiful presentation. We talked about missing the homey experience of Endo, where we ate dozens of times over the last few years. But things change, and I'm very glad Sushi Jip is here as a local restaurant with a dedicated chef/owner rather than an expensive chain coffee shop or something. On the way out, my wife asked how to pronounce "Jip" (it's close to "jeep"). In the process, we got to meet the owner Young and learn that Jip both means "home" and is his family name. Here's to making new memories at a new local community restaurant. We're rooting for Young and Sushi Jip! Bonus - my wife loved the chop sticks holders. read more

I can't say enough how much I love this place. Julia who runs the front and Young the chef always treat me like family. And the sushi is really fantastic - definitely the best around. Try the spicy tuna crispy rice for a treat! Seriously, Julia and Young always go out of their way to make me feel welcome and now I'll never go to another local sushi place. I tell everyone in my office to give their restaurant a try! Sushi Jip is really special. I hope you love it as much as I do. It's a good thing they don't sell onigiri because I'd probably come every day if they did hahaha. read more

Great food and great service. Everyone working there was very nice and the food came promptly. We enjoyed the ramen, sushi, and crispy tuna.

I ordered the sushi deluxe as take out. The sushi was good overall and was good quality. However, it was not the best I've tried. I usually love the toro, but it was quite underwhelming. The to-go box was also aesthetically pleasing, but once delivered the sushi pieces where all over the place. I wish they used a smaller box to keep the food more intact. read more

Why are you reading this? Hurry up and go eat! The service was excellent and the food was delish! I had the salmon sushi combo and my mom had the hibachi chicken bento box.

They also brought out a miso soup for my baby to try and she loved it! Baby approved, mom approved, and ambiance was calm. Hurry and go! read more

Truly the best sushi restaurant in the area, hands down. The eating area is clean, well designed, and inviting. The staff is above and beyond friendly and hospitable. The food is high-quality, it's fresh, tasty, and exciting with excellent presentation. I asked our waitress what "Jip" meant and she revealed to us that she was the owner and Jip means "home" and that it is their goal to "make every customer feel welcome in their home and never leave hungry or dissatisfied". I will be returning regularly! read more
