    Sashimi 10 pc platter
    Alex T.

    Great service today for lunch. My water was filled promptly and they came multiple times to check up on me. I had the surf and turf and also the 10 pc sashimi platter. Both were decent, but the sashimi was a little tougher than I expected. Definitely on the pricier end for food around these parts of town but the quality was decent and the service made up for any of the nit picks I had.

    On top: Salmon Deluxe Roll( best of this night) On bottom: Geisha Roll( not properly sliced cucumber,unbalanced size of fish pieces)

    Fairly,I've been in almost every sushi place in my area,since it's my favorite food of all time. In this place I like modern bistro type decor,a lot of light and quiet atmosphere, My friend made girls night birthday party for 5 of us. Server was nice,but not very interested to make it more special, no favors or congratulations, she didn't have much expertise in suggesting things from menu. She even didn't bring sushi menu at all,just entrees hard cover menu. I tried 2 rolls ,both were fine in terms of quantity and quality of the fish,but no rice Geisha roll was wrapped in cucumber and cucumber was sliced too thick and roll was hard to eat. It not suppose to fall of right away,also sauce on top was tasteless. Salmon deluxe roll was good,with tang and sweet notes,some crunch and avocado creaminess inside with nice amount of salmon on top. All in all,it was ok night and not bad sushi.

    Sushi here is super fresh and tastes great! Price is a little high but worth it for the quality you get. Service is super friendly and accommodating. Although a little bit of a language barrier when we were trying to explain what we wanted omitted from our order, but they eventually got it and we appreciated it. The space is small and cute so keep that in mind if you have a big party.

    Tonkatsu ramen
    Chuq Y.

    Had lunch at Sushi Umi today. The food was great. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and Otoro and ikura nigiri from the a la carte menu. My coworker had the taste of Umi lunch portion. Mine was great and filling. The fresh wasabi was a nice touch and the ramen was very flavorful. The chasu was cooked well and the egg was good. I would have also liked some nori, but I'm not going to be picky. The green tea was pretty standard but it did hit the spot. Our service was excellent. Any time we had empty dishes, they were promptly taken away without being intrusive. I consider that to be perfect service. The decor was nice with a classy feel and ambiance. There were small lamps on the table to provide and little more light and I should have taken more pics of the inside as well as the menu, but alas, I didn't. I think I was too hungry. I recommend Sushi Umi for a date or a semi-splurge lunch especially if someone else is picking up the tab. I'd come here again, though parking was a little challenging. Because it's in the corner of a strip mall, we had to park in the larger area and walk a little bit. Not that inconvenient but something to consider.

    Feast For 4

    By far my favorite sushi spot! The service is exceptional no matter how packed the place gets. Our waitress has been wonderful every time we go. The food has been consistently great with each visit. The vibes inside are so nice! The music is never too loud. I recommend this to anyone who's looking for sushi in the area.

    Kabuki Roll
    Jasmine B.

    I had a good time here for dinner with a friend. Parking was a bit hard to find because it was a very busy shopping plaza. The place was smaller than I expected but provided a nice cozy vibe. I ordered Miso Soup for my appetizer, it was standard and came out hot. I also ordered the Rock & Roll and the Kubuki roll. Now that I think about it, I just realized they gave me the wrong roll but it's fine. Both were good but nothing exceptional. I preferred the Rock & Roll more as a fan of eel. The Kubuki roll was bigger and filling. It was very saucy if you are a fan of that.

    Sushi Umi (along with Ariake and Sushi Cho) is easily one of my favorite local sushi spots. Every time I come here, the servers are super wonderful and very attentive. The fish is always super fresh and I've never been disappointed by anything I've ordered here. My go to is the taste of Umi box. It used to come with 8 different selections of the chef's choice, but it seems like they recently changed it so there are 6 different selections (but each selection is now a bigger portion). It does make me sad since one of my favorite selections was the roe with quail egg and rice, but nevertheless, the new taste of Umi box is just as delicious as before. Overall, I love this spot for lunch or dinner--just note that dinner is double the price for the taste of Umi box. There's almost never a crowd or a long wait and the owners and everyone who works here is always super lovely.

    Unagi sides
    Rachel K.

    Parking is limited, but there is parallel available along the inside street/ right next to the metro station. The entrance, though, you have to walk around the left side and up the ramp! The taste of umi was FANTASTIC. There's a lot of rice that comes under each piece, so it was a lot more filling than I thought it would be. The unagi was also incredible. The service is also wonderful- they give you space but also very attentive to your needs!

    Nabeyaki Udon Dinner
    Dennis T.

    One of the best sushi places in the area. The sushi is impeccable - best quality sushi I've had. Very much comparable to Ariake. The restaurant is very nice inside - they have these cool little lamps on each table. I also got an order of udon. The udon broth was very aromatic and delicious. Not too salty. I shared the bowl with my friend. And we got 2 regular rolls and 1 specialty roll. We were full! The sushi was so soft and you can taste the greatness of the rice. It was kind of expensive compared to other restaurants but you get what you pay for! Great quality and highly recommend!

    Good quality and high price. This is so far one of the three best Sushi house I have had. We ordered Kama (18), three rolls (18-20 per roll), regular sashimi (38ish), and a teriyaki beef (24ish, for my son only). The kama is lightly roasted in a very appropriate way. The skin is crunchy and the meat is very tender. Three rolls are all amazing (the best), Dragon, Umi, and Worldgate. The rice is good and thin but it is not loose, tightly accommodating all kinds of delicious staff like eel, salmon, etc. the source is sooooo good. My friend also reported the teriyaki beef with rice is well made. The only complaint is the price. Compared to a similar quality I have had in other places, this places is in a higher end of price. We spent 140 (tips not included) for these dishes.

    Came here with my family, we do get sushi a lot so maybe we're biased but I would say it was good but not great. We felt it was a bit overpriced for the quality. My favorites were the rolls with cucumber on the outside, crunchy and refreshing. However, we did eat everything and the visual presentation was nice. Plus the servers were very nice.

    Tiffanie L.

    The food was good, the prices might be a little higher than other places but all the rolls were delicious. The service was fine, it wasn't above and beyond but it was fine. The place is really cool, I liked the vibe but it's small.

    Salmon Lovers Lunch
    Anirudh J.

    I usually frequent this sushi restaurant, mainly for the convenience! I went for lunch and it was quite empty, but the servers were checking in every now and then. They weren't absent, but not in your face. It was appreciated. The decor is tasteful and simple. I ordered the Salmon Lovers entree from he lunch menu. The salmon nigiri was okay, but I would've wanted a better rice to meat ratio. It was mostly meat. The salmon roll was as expected. The spicy salmon roll needs a little more kick to call it "spicy," otherwise it was a good dish! I would try other sushi restaurants before coming here again, but it will be in my rotating roster of sushi restaurants.

The entire bottom broke from the top and spilled the contents over 4 people. Half my pants leg was covered. Another had her purse drenched. Another her shoes were soaked. The one with the drink - her entire pants was soaked. My friends husband talked to the bar manager and he said he would comp us (4) a drink. So we told the bartender what our friends husband said. The bar manager came over and said he is only going to comp my friends drink that exploded. We all looked at him like "WTF just happened?" His bar back cleaned up the mess around us and saw all the liquid on the ground and stools. I don't even think they check to see if we were ok. The 3 of us paid our tabs and left. I haven't been to Tiki Thai much this year but when I had, I never had an issue. The service from the bar manager was appalling to say the least. There are so many restaurants in Reston Town Center that we can spend our money at and we will from now on.

Jinya Ramen Bar offers a trendy, modern, metropolitan atmosphere. The space has a lively energy, with techno/disco-style music playing in the background, a full bar, and televisions featuring sports programming. The crowd appeared to include a number of younger couples, which added to the overall vibrant feel. I ordered the Chicken Yuzu Shio Delight and customized it with spicy bean sprouts, fresh garlic, and chicken wontons (each an additional charge). The dish arrived hot--which I always appreciate--and was exactly what I was looking for: flavorful, well-balanced, and satisfying without being too heavy. My kids ordered from the children's menu and clearly enjoyed their meals--they liked it so much that they asked for more noodles. I ended up sharing some of mine and ultimately ordered an additional bowl. The staff was very accommodating throughout, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is family-friendly, even with a bar as a central feature (which we did not utilize). The host was welcoming, and the staff presented a cohesive, modern look with all-black attire. While the style is clearly part of the restaurant's trendy aesthetic, some aspects of the dress may be a matter of personal preference (too short in my opinion, I would not like my daughters wearing such short attire). Overall, this was a great experience. The food was satisfying without being overly heavy, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was engaging. I would certainly recommend Jinya Ramen Bar to anyone in the mood for quality ramen in a lively setting.

I was here twice over the last two months. The first time, I ordered off the regular menu. The second time, I did the AYCE dim sum/tapas. Obviously, ordering a la carte, you'll get larger portions. It was all fantastic. The server was attentive and friendly. Dishes came out lightning fast. And the food itself was stellar! I'll let the photos speak for themselves. You can't go wrong here, especially if you're getting one of the AYCE specials (there's a similar one at Mama Chang's). I want to note though, three of the dishes have the same flavor profile, just different main ingredients: spicy dry fish, spicy dry cauliflower, and dry fried spicy eggplant. They use dry fried red chili and ground Szechuan peppercorn. If you like this, great! Just know it's the same seasoning across these dishes. I didn't take photos of everything, but if it's braised pork xxxx, get it! I will gladly return to this location or Mama Chang's for another AYCE adventure.

Located off of busy Centreville Road in Herndon, DMV legendary restaurateur Peter Chang opened this latest establishment in September 2024. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended for their Bottomless weekend brunch; and especially if you have a large group, as we did. There is limited parking right in front, but drive a bit further for a larger lot across the street within a 2-3 min walk. The interior is modern with the familiar high ceilings, exposed duct work, faux greenery, and Asian themed artwork. Combined with the choice of almost tropical like tables and chairs, the decor was giving off serious Malaysia vibes. When our server arrived, she explained that diners could choose items from EITHER the Chinese Tapas or Traditional Dim Sum menu, which is awesome since this allows for the culinary options of over 45+ items!!! Depending on the size of your group, I would suggest ordering 6-8 items at a time, since the plates are small (about a 1-2 person serving size). And TBH, I like this style of AYCE as opposed to the the usual long steam tables of food which just sits underneath heat lamps, and has tongs which have been handled by lots of people...yuck! And for the restaurant, it helps to limit food waste. Over the next 90 minutes (time limit for the AYCE brunch), we sampled so many items, but some of the standouts were: * Crystal Shrimp Dumpling (har gow) - wrapper wasn't too thick, and the shrimp filling was plentiful and had excellent flavor * Steamed pork and shrimp shu mai - very good version of a dim sum staple. * Beef Chow Fun - noodles could've had more "wok hei" flavor, but beef was tender and not too salty. * Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) - good amount of seasoned soup inside the wrapper with tasty pork filling * Salt and pepper shrimp - peeled shrimp was flash fried, but not rubbery. It was topped with a salty peppery crunchy topping. We had several rounds of this dish. * Black Sesame egg yolk bao - creamy and not too sweet eggy filling, inside the soft black sesame bao I will detract one star for the service, however. Im my estimation, the place is understaffed for the volume of customers. Water and tea was a bit slow to arrive (after 8 min of sitting down) and it was challening to flag down our server to order more items; hence the reason it's recommended to get multiple dishes at one time. But at the end of the meal, everyone was quite pleased and satisfied, most importantly, mom and dad enjoyed the experience. When the check arrived, our party of 10 had ordered 40 items. With tax and tip, the total came out to a tad under $400. Tbh, for the quality and variety of food, $40/person is a good deal. I can definitely envision Peter Chang's weekend bottomless brunch being a monthly occurrence for me.
