I had been here many years ago but recently we were craving sushi and decided to stop this little cozy place. I love sushi and I eat it almost every week and today I ordered the sushi sashimi lunch special and it was perfection. The presentation was excellent and the taste was very fresh and melt in your mouth. The portion was reasonable and the choice of sashimi and sushi was very good. I will be coming back again and hope the experience is the same or better. read more

First impressions are everything. We arrived at 5:15 PM on a Sunday and asked for a table for eight, only to be met with stunned looks from the staff--as if our request was unreasonable. The restaurant was nearly empty, with just one occupied table in the back. When I asked what the issue was, we were told that the large table was reserved, so we ended up splitting into two smaller tables. Ironically, the party with the reservation didn't arrive until we were getting our check. Our server seemed frazzled by even simple questions or requests, which made the experience feel disorganized. The food was mediocre at best--nothing that would make us want to return. Items Order: Teriyaki Salmon Vegetable Tempura Miso Soup Kids Shrimp Tempura Spicy Tuna Shrimp Tempura Roll read more

This place is great, the udon was amazing and same with the Katsu. I live in Japan and I'll say this is quite close in taste to what I eat over here in Tokyo. The service was amazing, the waitress took great care of me, props to her. The inside is also extremely beautiful. This is a definite must to come and try! read more

I used to have birthday dinners with my friends. Their Sushi assortment was not very pricey and good for three people. Their sushi was fresh and delicious. Waitresses did not miss our orders and refilled water when they were half empty. Ambiance was very nice. read more

To the Food: if it is sushi or bento boxes, or other meals on their menu, we liked them. We got introduced to this place a very long time ago. We are glad to know this place and after Covid we've been back, more frequently now. The fresh fish is awesome, the same is true with the other menu items. It's a great place to relax and enjoy your food. Their personnel is friendly and attentive, they will also explain menu items to you if asked - which turned out being helpful to us. Portions are satisfactory, nicely presented, great tasting, prices adequate. We'll be back. Parking lot available, clean restaurant. read more

The cultural vibes are deff up there with a lot of formal Japanese articles and artworks. Chicken was made fresh in the kitchen and brought out as soon as it was done with a side of rice. Workers did their best to service and assist us in any way we needed. Overall good Japanese restaurant if you need good vibes, workers that connect with you, and good food. read more

First time stopping in after driving by every day, glad i did. The food came quick and was quite delicious. Service was prompt which is always appreciated. I would be very happy to include this place in my routine of restaurants! read more

Good neighborhood sushi restaurant with prompt and polite service. We came on a week night as the restaurant's small and didn't want to deal with the weekend crowd. Generous portion on the agedashi tofu for the price and I like that the miso ramen had three slices of pork charsui vs one slice elsewhere. Would be nice to have options to add toppings or just have more toppings. However, it's better than most ramen places these days that gives you a bare bones bowl of ramen and expect you to add toppings to a $15-$20+ bowl of ramen. The upgraded chirashi had a nice mix of sliced fish; although the tuna didn't taste especially fresh. However, I did like the generous portion of rice with the seaweed salad, mushroom, fish eggs etc. Overall, it's a decent sushi place if you're in the area. Also, the waitress was attentive and not overbearing which I like. read more

Melt in your mouth sushi, great service and moderate prices. This place is a gem! We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal here.

Lunch today with a group of people. I ordered Bento Box C (includes: 6-piece California roll, shrimp and vegi tempura, bulgogi (other choices are beef or salmon teriyaki), rice and a miso soup and small salad appetizer). ($18) The Bento Box was very good. A nice variety of things to try, with plenty to eat. The tempura coating was light and the flavor of the shrimp, green bean and sweet potato came through well, the bulgogi had a nice flavor and the miso soup was good. The small salad could have used more dressing and the California roll was fine - not great. Service was very good. Water glass was kept full (I drink a lot of water) and the wait staff handled the 7-checks at the end of the meal promptly and without complaint. The sushi and other entrees that my lunch partners got looked good. I recommend you give the place a try. read more

A true 3.5 based on sushi quality and carrying out. This place isn't far from our house and the only sushi carry out we could get on NYE. WHhope nothing was wrong with oir order, I would put the quality only slightly above Wegmans or Whole Foods. I plan on trying other locations before coming back here. read more

What a spot!! Stopped in on a whim for take-out and certainly did not regret it! Was a huge fan of the different spicy options especially. Would recommend! read more

Just grabbed some take-out from them! For hibachi my order was decently priced and they did not skimp out on portions. My steak was perfectly cooked, and all of the sides that came with it were delish! Loved the miso soup! I wish i ate there because the restaurant was beautiful inside. Definitely can't wait to stop by again! read more

It's just ok... we got some take out the other day and it was just blah. They also cut the sushi in strange overly large slices and it was difficult to eat! I used to like it here more but this will be my last visit. read more

I came here with my family for dinner and immediately loved the ambiance. The seats were comfortable and the staff greeted us warmly. For starters, we ordered Chicken Karaage which was juicy and delicious and Edamame, which I doubt anyone can go wrong with. For entrees to share: Salmon Combo, Rainbow Roll, Spicy Salmon Hand Roll, and the Sushi & Sashimi Special. Combo and Specials came with miso soup and salad. Well, nothing was left. Sushi was fresh and satisfying. Presentation was beautiful. Service was attentive and friendly. I'll keep this spot in mind for the next time we're in the area and craving sushi again. read more

Really cute interior! I often ride my scooter here, everyone is very kind! And AWESOME food. :D Also no loud music, just very relaxing

My goto sushi place. Fish is always fresh and the sashimi is very well cut. Outstanding salmon and mackerel sushi and sashimi. Even the wasabi is great! read more

we absolutely LOVE this place...so much so that we drive a good 35 minutes (or 1 hour roundtrip) to get carryout. So if you haven't tried them yet...RUN and try it today! First, they are a local owned small business. Second, they have the best quality sushi for a decent price! We have done takeout several times during the pandemic and are kind of sushi snobs...and I think they may have the best quality in the DMV (we like them more than Yuraku in Maryland). I've had their bento boxes, sushi combos, and sashimi platters! EVERYTHING IS GOOD. You should definitely get their tempura (it's so darn good). The owner told me that they spent so much time to perfect it. The warm sake is the perfect combo to the meals. If you're not feeling sushi, try a bento box! read more

Salmon was fresh and delicious. Dragon Roll and Crunchy California Roll were really tasty!

Arigato has been amazing since we started coming over 25 years! The sushi never disappoints! We are vegetarian and we find plenty of options. Bento Box E is a family favorite with a diverse selection of vegetarian sushi, tempura, and more! The atmosphere is great for a couples dinner, family meal or meeting up with friends. The staff is friendly, helpful, and lovely. We will continue to make Arigato a go-to local place! read more

I've always passed by this place for so many years but never tried until just recently and had positive experiences. We had a large party of 8 to 10 people so we were able to get seated in the back room with privacy. The service is fast and friendly. Their tempuras are great especially the shrimp! We ordered the sushi sashimi combo butit comes on a LONGGG heavy board. It's great bc the table can reach exactly the same things on each ends. All of the sushi, sashimi and rolls were fresh and tasted great. Their miso soup is a bit on the salty side but still good. read more

Great food! We got the bento box A and C, and combo fried rice (not on the menu, but their fried rice is always excellent). Fast and pleasant service. Nice traditional decorations and Christmas decorations and music (visited in early December) read more

Nice restaurant in Fairfax next to Aldi. I've been here a few times and never noticed the hidden gems in the menu. I always got the dinner Bento Box sets (B and D are my favorites) but this time i saw the Udon and Chirashi set. You get a big bowl of delicious udon that has two pieces of fried tofu skin, fish cake, mushroom, half an egg, topped with seaweed and scallions. The other half of the meal is a mini chirashi with about 6 or 7 pieces of fresh sashimi topped with seaweed, sprouts, and a small piece of lotus root which was really yummy. read more

Came here on a Monday night at around 6:30. There were about about 2 tables when we arrived. We were greeted by the chefs (I couldn't exactly tell what they said because it was in Japanese but I know it meant something along the lines of "welcome") then the servers prompted us to our seats and took our order. We were given a complimentary small dish of edamame and fried cream cheese I think and our food came out pretty quick as well. We ordered age dashi tofu to start with along with a sushi&sashimi combo, salmon combo, and tempura udon as our meal. Everything tasted great especially the tempura udon. The broth was exceptional! However, I didn't really like the spicy salmon hand roll. It wasn't like the typical spicy mayo flavor, it was more of a korean red pepper paste flavor. After we were done eating, the servers quickly took our empty plates and gave us our checks. Nothing extraordinary but overall a fine experience. read more

Super fresh sushi. They are not skimpy on the portions. Friendly staff and great udon. They pride in their preparation. Recommend.

Trash. FYI the water is mop cleaned water. They reuse all the left over fish that's almost gone bad in fried food so it doesn't go to waste.

Maybe they had an off night, but the food was not very good. Won't be coming here. Too many options to eat mediocre sushi in this area. Fried sides were overly oily as well. read more

Have been coming here for 2 years. I live in Reston and will drive there just for the sushi. The thing I like about it is their slices of sushi are thicker than normal restaurants and their rice is smaller. Which means you get a good taste of the fish which is great. Many places create a huge rice ball and thin fish and think you won't notice. Really? Service is good and noise level is minimal. I would have posted pictures but I devoured my 20 piece sushi platter before I realized I had not taken any pictures. Maybe a testament to the quality of food. Highly recommend. read more

We love this restaurant with always great service and owner who is very welcoming. I like small teasers before our original order. It is such a nice touch. Sushi is very fresh and yummy Most of the time we order sashimi 18 pcs and one of the special rolls. Great please. read more

Excellent menu , service & clean restrooms. Very pretty inside as well Tuna was extra good! read more

I had a great experience ordering take out from here last night. I got to the sushi stall in H Mart ten minutes too late, but I still wanted sushi. I remembered Arigato near Walmart, which wasn't far. I called in the order around 8:10 on a Saturday night and they said it'd be ready in 20-25 minutes. This is much faster than other popular sushi places in the area. The order was ready on time! The place is pretty nicely decorated inside, but you still definitely feel like you're in a strip mall. I ordered the sushi and sashimi platter ($30), octopus nigiri, and salmon/avocado hand roll. It came with one salad and one soup. I was a little worried it might not be enough for two, but it definitely was! Not bad for a total order of $41. The platter was great! The yellowtail had to be my favorite. The California roll has roe on it--delicious! There was also salmon, tuna, and shrimp. They didn't skimp on the good stuff! There were three pieces of yellowtail, tuna, salmon sashimi. One each of the nigiri including shrimp. Six Cali rolls. Don't know why I didn't snap a pic--I guess I was hangry! I'll definitely order takeout here again! read more

I've been to Arigato Sushi numerous times and it's one of those places that one goes to when they're too lazy to think of a better place. It's not terrible, but it's nothing to write home about either. Located in the Walmart shopping center in Fairfax, Arigato offers ample seating. To begin with, they serve complimentary edamame and dangerously delicious cream cheese puffs. Just like any other place, they were attentive enough to top off our hot teas throughout our visit. We ordered a few sushi rolls, but none stood out enough for me to remember their names. They were alright, but I have had better. The service is meh. The waitresses are attentive enough, but I don't recall ever seeing a smile. Most likely I will be back for another lazy unpretentious evening, but that's about it. read more
