Amazing place to get a casual meal! The patio area is great to enjoy a meal outside. It's nice on a rainy day too

I had a small group of four celebrating a bachelor. First time in downtown Harrisonburg and it is a very nice area to walk around with many souvenirs, antique and gift shops; restaurants and parking on streets as well as garage. I went into this unique place called Beyond Restaurant and Lounge which offers a variety of cuisines from multiple cultures. I ordered 5 items: 1) Chicken Lettuce Wraps 2) Pork Bánh Mi 3) Pork Dumplings 4) Pineapple Fried Wontons 5) Summer Rolls. The pork fried dumplings were crispy, compact filling and they delicious. I was a little surprised with the chicken lettuce wraps when it arrive to the table. The minced ground chicken mixture with herbs was tasty which were served with fried rice noodles but unfortunately the iceberg lettuce didn't allow you to complete the wrap. You were only able to make 4 actual wraps and after that you just have to eat the items individually. I wish it was served with butter lettuce or something that can better cup the mixture. The summer rolls were good and generous portion filled with shrimp, pork, vermicelli, herbs and a peanut sauce. The fried wontons were stuffed with cream cheese, pineapple, garnished with diced pineapple, bell peppers served with a pineapple relish. It was different from your typical cream cheese, it was good. The highlight of this trip was their pork banh mi. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outer layer and inside was soft, fluffy filled with tender pork, pickled carrots and daikon; cilantro, mayo spread and served with fresh sliced jalapeños. After the first bite, I wasn't able to just take one bite. It was amazingly delicious. The restaurant is clean, filled with beautiful decor, has a bar, offers interior and exterior seatings, and all staff are friendly. Our server was Kim and she is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Since it's a 2.5 hour drive, it was definitely worth it. I would make another visit and try other items on their menu. read more

Date: November 2, 2025 at 7:30 PM TL;DR: Beautiful space, incredible service, and some of the best scallops I've had in a long time. Paige went above and beyond and the Sweet & Sour Scallops are an absolute must-try, especially with a side of chili oil. Highly recommend for a delicious dining experience. Ambiance: 5/5 The atmosphere was perfect: open, inviting, and not crowded, which made the whole experience feel calm and comfortable. The layout is thoughtfully designed with beautiful art, plenty of space to move around, and a great balance of bar seating and tables. It felt modern and elevated without being pretentious, a.k.a the kind of space where you can actually enjoy your dining experience and conversation. Service: 5/5 Paige was absolutely phenomenal. Attentive without hovering, warm without being overbearing, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. She made sure we had everything we needed at all times and offered thoughtful recommendations that truly enhanced the meal. Her hospitality elevated the dining experience and set the standard for what excellent service looks like. Food: 5/5 AMAZING. Truly. I was torn between two scallop dishes, and thanks to Paige's recommendation, I went with the Sweet & Sour Scallops, and now I completely understand why they're a guest favorite. The scallops were perfectly cooked, the flavors balanced beautifully, and adding chili oil on the side took it to a whole new level. If you love seafood, do yourself a favor and order this dish... you will not be disappointed. Overall, I'll absolutely be returning, and even though it'll be hard given how good my meal was, next time, I'll be exploring even more of the menu. read more

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head and you know it will never stop playing until you listen to it from beginning to end? And maybe, if you're a foodie like me, you have a similar experience with a certain dish or type of cuisine. Such was the case on a recent visit to the 'Burg. I had to have ramen noodles with beef. And I wanted them spicy! So I asked for such when placing my order. And soon, out came a dish piled high with red noodles and the beef on the bottom (soaking in all the juice). I could smell the burn as it approached. After a few bites I had exhausted my water, tea, and handkerchief. I questioned if I would be forced to surrender and wave the white styrofoam take home container of shame. But I have climbed this mountain before. I know there comes a point (a runner's high of heat if you will) where the burn reaches its apex then levels off. It almost (almost) becomes enjoyable. And from there, it is just one delicious bite after another. Every noodle and every piece of saturated beef was gone when I walked out that night. But also, in temperatures below freezing, my ski cap was off and my jacket completely open. I needed a shower after that. So needless to say, it was an amazing experience. The team there are friendly, and concerned when they see tears welling up in your eyes. The chef obviously is one of great talent and I look forward to visiting and ordering other dishes in the future. Give this place a try! read more

Loved their chai tea. Grilled salmon was awesome. Service was very good and environment warm. We had a large group and orders were correct. No complaints about the food. Art work was creative. read more

Delicious lunch: pho and wonton noodle soup. Busy place for Saturday lunch. Our food came out hot and quick. We also ordered a few sushi to share: Dragon rolls and eel tools and poke bowl. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Drinks were wonderful too. We will return again for dinner and hopefully save room for desserts. This restaurant was clean and the original pictures were really pretty decorative. Praserth greeted us with a warm hello and made our sushi. read more

Service was very good, without being pushy. Ambiance is good, college town vibe. A bit funky in a good way. Food is over ambitious...great hot sake and hot and sour soup delicious. Sushi entree disappointing...too much rice versus fish and spicy tuna roll had odd sauce over the top. Would not order that again...chicken teriyaki too soupy. Maybe try other dishes but I think they are trying to do too much. read more

It's a good fusion place with decent appetizers and decent pho. Portions are good. But the bubugi is a little dry and the sushi rolls had too much rice. read more

BLUF: tasty for the most part, but lacking in small ways. Needs more attention to detail so that the food you get matches the description on the menu. Four of us ate on a Monday night. Banh MI and fries: fries were tasty but kinda soggy. On the Banh Mi the pork was delicious, but veggies weren't pickled. it was basically a pork sandwich. Drunken Noodles: very tasty. but not spicy the way it was advertised. Angry Salmon Sushi Roll: pretty good sushi. but the menu said it was seasoned salmon, and it wasn't seasoned. The only heat was from a sliced raw jalapeño placed on top. A jalapeño which, because it was so hot, pretty much drowned out the flavor of the sushi. Chicken Vermicelli: chicken was very tasty, but there weren't enough vegetables and it was underdressed. Hot and Sour soup: the best part of the dinner. Wonderful. with bog pieces of flavorful mushroom BLUF: all the food was very tasty, but most of it was missing some attention to detail read more

This place has a wide variety of Asian foods on the menu. Most of my friends & I got sushi, however they have noodles, fried rice, pho, banh mi sandwiches, and lots more. I got the dragon roll. It was very good but could've used a little less sauce. The ambiance was nice - we sat outside so I cannot speak for inside. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because our waitress was not very friendly. Every time we would ask for something, she seemed like she was getting annoyed. For example, there was 6 of us, we asked for straws and she only brought 4. When we asked for 2 more, she just walked away without saying anything. She also forgot to bring our sides of spicy mayo and again seemed like we were bothering her by asking for something she forgot. AND she also forgot to bring my friend's takeout order, so we were sitting there for a long time just waiting until she got up to go ask. The order had just been sitting on the counter. The other employees were friendly though. read more

I come to Harrisonburg every month or so for work, and Beyond has become a go-to restaurant for me because of one menu item--their hot and sour soup! The other dishes I've gotten before (pad thai, drunken noodles, various sushi) are fairly average, but the hot and sour soup keeps me coming back each visit. It's very flavorful, perhaps because of the shiitake mushrooms they use. Service is very prompt...my food has generally come out in 5-10 minutes of my order. read more

It has been a very sad couple of days, stuck in the depths of a recent snow storm. I was able to evacuate my humble abode for a leisurely walk and ended up at this establishment. I was blessed to be greeted by Colin, who served me and my friends to delightful sushi. The food was amazing (shoutout Lana), the service was spectacular, and the ambience was nothing short of beautiful. Colin deserves a raise. Thank you, Beyond Restaurant & Lounge. read more

The food was so good! Love their sushi! Can tell that it's high quality. Huge fan of the Bora Bora roll as well as their eel!

Fresh sushi in Harrisonburg is hard to come by, but this is definitely as good as it gets! The selection is broad with many combinations of cooked and uncooked rolls. Tempura green beans as an appetizer has always been a must for me when dining in here. The outside area in the back is great and my first choice when the weather is nice. read more

This cute little place in downtown Harrisonburg has all the Asian food you can dream of...sushi, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, and beyond! My girlfriend and I had the hot & sour soup, tuna hand roll, yellow tail hand roll, and the crispy orange chicken. The hot & sour soup was yum yum in my tum tum. The hand rolls had a large amount of fish, which we loved. The crispy orange chicken was just what I needed to eliminate my hangry attitude. The portions here are very good soyou are bound to leave happy and full. The wait staff here are also very attentive and friendly. Check them out! read more

Nice little place in Harrisonburg downtown. We stopped over here for lunch, and tried the California rolls and fried rice from the lunch menu. The sushi rolls were strictly ok. The fried rice quantity was really good for a lunch portion and the taste was decent. The overall place was ok and we went past the lunch time so it was not crowded at all. read more

Food was great, but the service was sub par. Waitress was dismissive and rude. Also, strangely, this app has obnoxiously asked me to review this restaurant repetitively since I visited over a month ago. So here we are. The waitress actually challenged a request I had for more sauce, suggesting I didn't need it, and the sauce didn't match my dish. but I had asked for hoisin and sriracha. What dish does that not go with, right? So ...anyways. We had a Bahn Mi sandwich and vermicelli noodles and pork. Pretty easy. My noodles and pork tasted great. My partner didn't enjoy the sandwich as much, but didn't express in detail. Just said "it tastes like bread and meat". Sooooo, that's my review. I think on a different day, perhaps, things may be better, but overall it was the service and lack of "pop" in the food that made this a 3 . read more

Great spot! Awesome menu! Whether you're in the mood for pho, kimchi fried rice, sushi or Thai! I wasn't a huge fan of the hot and sour soup (which came free for me with my lunch order) but I think that's just preference as it had a good amount of flavor, tofu, and mushroom. The bora bora roll was awesome! The cream cheese ragoons were your basic ragoon but the pineapple jalapeño pickled thing on top!!?? Yes PLS arguably one of my favorite combos in life thus far. This was the first plate to go empty. They have a rainbow unicorn sour beer which was really yummy! read more

Enjoyed our sushi lunch here on a recent visit with family in the area. The sushi rolls are huge so they are worth the price. The nagiri sushi is also very large - both the rice and fish - be prepared! These are 'pick up with your fingers' sushi. They also offer other Pacific Rim dishes which makes for many options depending on your tastes. Would definitely return if in the area again. read more

Visited this spot while in harrisonburg and we were seated promptly. There did not seem to be a lot of people in the building however, it took our server forever to come to our table although she was checking in on other tables. After several attempts to gain her attention, she finally came over after having to yell slightly to get her attention. At this point I was ready to go honestly. So I am not a fan of sushi, but my sister loves it. We got the Maryland roll and I thought it was okay and so did my sister. We also ordered the lettuce wraps which I enjoyed. And I had the orange chicken which I was disappointed in. The chicken was very dry. The only thing I really enjoyed were the drinks. The food was about average priced, but I just don't think that I would go back. read more

Our organization hosted a 50 person buffet dinner in Beyond's private dining room. The staff was polite and attentive and the food was delicious. Love the vibe of restaurant, it felt spacious, inviting and upscale but the food was very reasonable priced. Great option for a group event. The Coconut Shrimp are amazing, highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Monday. Hours stated were until 9pm. We were seated at 750pm. Upon being seated we were told that last call for drinks and food would be 830pm. So does closing time mean 9pm or 830pm? Little frustrating - post the time time that you won't wait in customers anymore. Drinks were good. Great bartender. Food was good - above average. The meatball appetizer was delicious. The pho was good. I would recommend coming early so the misinformation on hours doesn't get you too. read more

Yummy food! Large servings. Service can be a hit or miss. I recommend trying their sushi and Vietnamese noodles

Decided to stop in for sushi after orientation at JMU and already looking forward to our next visit here. The outdoor patio is very inviting and the menu had a good variety. We really enjoyed steamed pork dumplings... the pastry was rolled thin and delicate like gyoza. The crazy roll in special is worth trying... it is a pretty crazy combo of tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura and other stuff. We also enjoyed the Angry Salmon roll and the Seoul roll along with some of the best yellow tail sashimi. Yep.. ready for the next trip to JMU for more! read more

Great Fusion restaurant. Excellent sushi and delicious cocktails. Monday specials on Martinis.

Everything we ate here was so good! Vegetarian pho had really lovely depth of flavor. Drunken noodles were delicious too. I also got kimchi fried rice, which was great for the first few bites but got kinda boring rather quickly (I think because it was just rice, tofu, and kimchi, and I think having other vegetables in it would've made for more interesting tastes and textures). read more
