Came in for Lunch and had a great experience! Linda was a fantastic server and the food was prepared fast and delicious. I got the squid, gyoza, and other items and they were all great. We got sat in a nice cozy booth that was comfortable and intimate. Would come again! read more

This is a real gem! The food was really good and came out quickly. Our server Calvin was very outgoing, attentive and made our experience that much more excellent. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. I highly recommend and look forward to coming back! read more

Jackson was a great server. The atmosphere was great and the food was amazing! I will be back.

As close to Japan as you'll get in the US I went to dinner with three colleagues who have all traveled to Japan -- real deal, ate-their-way-through-Tokyo Japan. Their verdict on Izakaya Nana? The closest thing to authentic Japanese food they've found anywhere in the United States, including the Japanese enclaves of California. That's not a small statement, and I'm not one to argue. The sushi was ridiculously fresh -- the kind of fresh where you just stop mid-conversation because your brain needs a moment. I ordered the dragon balls, which arrived with a dry ice display that was just as dramatic as it sounds. Fantastic presentation, even better flavor. Every single person at our table loved their meal. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is genuinely breathtaking -- you'd never guess from the outside what's waiting for you inside. It feels transporting in the best possible way. I haven't made it to Japan yet, but after this meal, I feel a little less like I'm missing out. Izakaya Nana is the real deal. read more

The toro don was delicious and my son really liked the pork tonkatsu. Very tender and the curry had a good flavor profile. Tasted very authentic. Our waiter Calvin was very helpful and directed us to the right food choices. He knew the menu well and was very knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance was very fun and lively, felt very authentic yet not loud and stuffy. We loved that the tables were in private rooms for privacy, great for small families with children too. It was a great dining experience! read more

Tried this place on a whim, I placed an online order for gyoza at 1:25, called to ask about it at 1:45 because I hadn't gotten a confirmation text. The person who picked up was nice enough, until I asked the status of my order. I watched it change from "still working" to "ready for pickup" right in front of me as she said "you just put the order in, you need to be more patient." So I hung up because I couldn't believe what just happened, and walked over to get it. The flavor is decent, but the wrappers are cold and gummy, probably from sitting. Who knows when I would've been notified if I hadn't called? I wasted my hard earned money, and I am very disappointed. Will not be returning, and telling all my coworkers and friends to stay away. Cute take out bag though. read more

Found this place while searching where to meet friends near Dulles Airport. Great place to have a mini reunion with great food. Was able to easily make reservations online. They were able to sit us on a special private booth. Each room has some theme. The menu is pretty extensive with good selection of cocktails and beers. Food was pretty good. Sushi was good. Grilled skewers were Flavorful. Service was excellent. Definitely coming back to this place when we are in the area. read more

A large group of us had a reservation for one of their bigger rooms on a busy weeknight. I had time concerns, because I needed to be someplace right after dinner, but there were absolutely no problems. The staff here is very efficient and make good use of technology for taking your order and sorting it out at the end when everyone is requesting separate checks for 1 or 2 people each. That server robot was fun too. As someone who has admittedly only been to places not quite so authentic, I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu at first, and I stuck to more familiar items. But among our group, I got to see and sample some of the other items. The couple across the table from me ordered the meter-long sushi boat, which was amazing. The sake list was pretty good as well. Everyone in our group was very satisfied with the experience. read more

I've been wanting to go to Izakaya Nana since I saw it on IG like two years ago so, super excited to finally visit. I made a reservation a week before just to be safe. Was fun to see folks waiting to enter when they opened. I was trying to peep the menu online but bless for Yelp and for everyone who shared pics of the menu. I will say everything looks like the picture. I literally got the Ramen Nana for the cup lol. I think the longostino is unnecessary because it's over cooked and hard to take out of the shell with chopsticks, so I had to use my hand but other wise it was a very mild ramen broth. I was still searching for some protein, and decided to order the black miso cod. The ramen nana, black cod and a Diet Coke cost me around $65. Service was quality, appreciated the call button and of course the decor was A1. Food wise, the Black cod was great, would totally get that again. Lots of great options and I look forward to coming back and trying something new. read more

A couple of my friends took me out last night for a belated birthday dinner. I'd never been to Izakaya Nana. The building the restaurant occupies used to be a swimming pool company store. We had a reservation in a small room - they are semi-private since each room is walled off from one another. Calvin, one of the restaurant managers, waited on us. We ordered a Sake tasting flight to share. There were three Sake samples in the flight. In hindsight - I should have ordered a flight just for me. The Sake was good and I could have easily drank that by myself. We ordered a number of dishes to share: Brussel sprouts, spicy Bamboo shoots, Calamari, Sashimi (salmon, tune, scallops, and a couple of other fish options that I could not identify. Everything was delicious and the service was great! #IzakayaNana read more

Some items are okay but most are way overpriced. The wagyu stone beef set we ordered literally only had 4 super thin pieces of beef. For $56 that has to be the worse value for any bbq beef cut. Go to any Korean bbq and you can get prime beef set for so much more value. Seoul Prime, Honest grill, gogiville are great bbq places. read more

Cool Izakaya that transports you to Japan upon walking in. There are several semi private rooms as well so your party can dine and chat amongst yourselves. Nice touch. Third time here and I must say just about everything we've tried has been delicious- sushi and sushi rolls are fresh, the yakitori is flavorful, and the choice of drinks are outstanding. To name a few dishes - wagyu fried rice, mentaiko udon, yellowtail carpaccio, wings...yummy Definitely a great addition to the many asian restaurants in Chantilly. Hope they expand to the Reston area! read more

We wanted to take our mom out for her birthday so she can have a memorable experience! Izakaya Nana never disappoint! The decor is always so nice, the service was great, and the food is exquisite! Some of our favorites were the Takoyaki (lightly crisp exterior, soft and delish on the inside, surrounded by savory bonito flakes), the Ika-Sugata (sauteed squid was soft and the teriyaki sauce complimented it so well!), and the Yakitori platter meat skewers were perfectly seasoned. The cold Signature appetizer sampler was interesting but not our favorite. The Mentaikocream udon was good but it did need more udon and roe. Sushi is always good! read more

We tried Izakaya Nana for the first time and we really enjoyed the ambiance, attentive service, and delicious food! We started off with the yakitori spicy pork belly and pork jowl, which were our faves. The beef skirt was ok and the chicken gizzards were very gamey -- definitely more than I anticipated. Takoyaki was one of our highlights with the amount of octopus and it was cooked perfectly. The sashimi deluxe platter was fresh and enough for two people. We finished our meal with an order unadon. The portion was just right for two with all our shared dishes. I highly recommend taking advantage of the rewards at checkout and definitely looking forward to our next visit! read more

Izakaya nana is the first restaurant that I visited in 2026. I came for a late lunch around 2 pm and it was pretty full so the only seats available were the high top tables. I really liked the atmosphere and the way they decorated the restaurant. It was like I was in a little Japanese village with popular Japanese music in the background. My wife and I ordered a whole bunch of food to share. We ordered the Mentaiko cream udon, toro ikura don, yakitori platter, a few other yakitori skewers, crispy sweet chili wings. As busy as it was, the food came out relatively quickly. The yakitori and chicken wings came out first. The crispy wings were not crispy at all. Pretty soggy and it was just very sweet. Could not finish that. The yakitori was served on a heated box to keep them warm while eating. The mentaiko cream udon was creamy and tasted like mentaiko. My favorite was the Toro ikura don. The toro was pretty much on the money and it melted in your mouth. The bowl came with avocado at the base, rice on top and some wasabi, yellow radish, and toro. It paired well with a little bit of soy sauce. I don't come to chantilly often, but I would come back with friends. I recommend making a reservation. You may have to wait a little bit even with a reservation. 3.5 or 7/10 for me. read more

We had no problems finding parking, there was a decent sized parking lot. They had some bar seating and it was a surprise to see how much seating there actually was. More private than public it seemed. The decor was very cute. We had made a reservation for 7 but actually had 8. My husband and I were early and they were quite busy for a Sunday evening and so adding an additional seating took about 10 minutes. They did say normally, they request that half your party is present before seating but they sat the two of us after letting them know the rest of the party would be there shortly. There's a service button that you can press to request service. They brought water right away and for a big table, our server navigated the number of orders being thrown at him. We ordered a small bottle of sake to start (Kubota Junmai Daiginjo) and a Sapporo. The sake was very good, a little sweet but pretty smooth. They do take mobile IDs too when checking for IDs. We ordered a wide variety off the menu for the 8 of us to share, some based off of the server's recommendations. Everything came out very quickly. We ordered: Yakitori Platter - Great sampler - We really enjoyed the Butabara (Pork Belly), Negima (Chicken Thigh w/ Leek) and Tebasaki (Chicken Wings). Everything was really well falvored and it came on a hot plate that kept it warm. Berkshire Pork Sausage Yakitori - This was very good as well - a little salty but overall very good. One Meter Long Sushi - I didn't get to try everything on there but the ones I tried were very fresh and good. Definitely would recommend splitting this with 2 people (maybe 3) if you want to try more of this. The Impossible Unadon - This was delicious and definitely worth it. The tamago that came with this was a great portion size and I absolutely recommend this. A5 Wagyu Golden Fried Rice Cha Han - Very flavorful - we all definitely enjoyed this and it was well seasoned and not overpowering. Signature Sampler - Not sure if I would ordered this again. There wasn't in the sampler that we didn't like but there wasn't anything that had stood out to us. Jumb Lump Crab Maruyaki - This was our least favorite item, our server did say it was very creamy but it was incredibly overpowering and it was on top of large chunks of avocado. Taiyaki with Red Bean Paste as a Dessert - The red bean paste was good and there was plenty of filling but the batter itself, there seemed to be something off but I couldn't put my finger on it. The red bean filling was very good. They DO also offer military discount with a valid ID and the individual who is the service member would have to pay (credit card to match the ID name). Overall, service was pretty good, gratuity was already included. I think I would come back and try some of their other items. read more

Our experience here was outstanding! Our whole family came, and we'll definitely be coming back for more. First, this place is gorgeous! Individual rooms to eat in. Each one, a different theme. The best decor I've seen and the nicest people work there. I've never had such great service. Especially with all of us in there together. We had so much food. At the bar, waiting on a couple family members, We had the king mushrooms, baby scallops and zucchini! We had some Gyoza dumplings. We then also had the sweet chili crispy wings. Those wings were like none other! THEN, we were seated for dinner! We had Brussel Sprouts Tempura. I fell in love! We had the Yakitori Platter! So delicious. Almost melts in your mouth! We ordered More, sweet chili crispy wings, and three orders of Chicken Yakisoba, and an order of Inari Sushi. We had the best time! We love this place!! read more

As of 12/10/2025, the widget on the site is still broken, however my husband and I a=have dined here. He made the reservation through the resy website and we went on a weekday during the day for an early dinner. The food was amazing and he wanted to go back immediately. Service was quick. but don't expect anyone to stop at your table unless you press the button on the side. For those who like to be left alone, this is perfect. One negative, I saw an employee smoking a cigarette outside when we arrived (normal in the restaraunt industry), then after we were seated, I immediately smelled cigarette smoke when he walked past us to assist another table. + Curry 5/5 juicy pieces of chicken + Mango roll Sushi 5/5 + Skewers 5/5 read more

I rarely venture out to this part of town since I live near DC, but I happened to be in the area and my partner wanted to take me here. We went for lunch right at opening and were greeted with such friendly faces. The atmosphere: The restaurant is a standalone spot with plenty of parking. Inside, it's beautifully decorated, mimicking a Japanese izakaya. There are flowers, paintings, lanterns, and lots of small details that make the space feel cozy and a bit like being transported to Japan. The food: To start, we ordered the Chicken Karaage, which was the perfect portion and paired really well with the mayo. The Hamachi Kama was served hot and was so delicious, definitely a treat and one of my partner's favorites. He also ordered the Berkshire Pork Sausage skewer and thought it was very tasty. We shared the Mentaiko Cream Udon and the Hako Sushi. The udon was a generous portion and very enjoyable. The Hako Sushi was the only dish I didn't love. The presentation was beautiful, but the texture felt a bit one note. That is more a reflection of the style of pressed sushi itself, though, and I personally prefer traditional rolls. The service: Service was great and attentive. Our server explained his favorites and recommendations, which really helped us decide what to order since the menu is quite extensive. read more

When my friend showed me a picture of some manga figurines, and insisted on trekking all the way to this place solely based on that, I was like BRO. This is like an hour from us, and did you even look into the food?? I told him he had to drive because that was far for a Tuesday night... so another friend and I met him in his neighborhood, and we were on our way! We arrived and I was shocked by how much awesome stuff (including Dolan Uyghur) is in the plaza where it's located. It's so far, but wow! And it's only 5 minutes from where I go for Super Smash Con. I skipped this year, but this could be motivation to return. So we went inside -- about 15 minutes late for our reservation due to traffic, but it worked out! We were led into this room stacked from top to bottom with an otaku's dream... check out my photos. And quite frankly, they don't do it justice. The room was fantastic... I didn't get to look hard into the other rooms, but it's the only one with that type of decor. Every room appears to have an epic theme of some sort. Anyways, specials were posted on posters on the shelves, and there was a buzzer on the wall to call a server in if we needed something immediately. Looking over the menu, they are best known for their variety of yakitori skewers. But they have sushi, a bunch of appetizers and snacks, ramen, desserts, and a full bar. I decided to try their signature sampler, which is served cold. I really appreciate our server (I believe her name was Samantha) for giving the heads up on that. I would've expected the items to all be served hot, but they were still great cold. There was tofu, veggies, chicken, and much more. I also got the toro tartare -- there was no description, but it just stood out to me... there was some sort of fish on top, caviar, and more, but the other layers? There was fruit... FRUIT. I was not expecting that! Loved it, but it was very very light. Also, $20 XD. Lastly, I tried the chicken skin dumpling yakitori, which was a limited one that had just recently launched and really enjoyed it. This is really far from home, but I'd return. And if I return to Super Smash Con next year? There's no doubt about it. read more

This post is from an 12 year old. I came in with my father on a wens-day at 7o'clock then the waiter saw us. Saw that my father was nonalcoholic and had a child and told us straight in the face we had to wait 40 min when there was lots of tables in sight. Not worth going to. If you have children. read more

Great ambiance, awesome and fast service and good food. We didn't get to sit in the main area due to long wait so we sat to to the dining area next to the bar. Food was great overall, ordered the Yakitori Platters, Karaage chicken and Wagyu fried rice. Karaage chicken was hot and crispy served to the table. From the platters, all was good but my fav was actually the chicken thigh and leek. Now onto the Wagyu fried rice, while it's good, I may have expected just a little bit more uhmph on it, a little bland side on the rice itself and the Wagyu. Overall, still good and can be fixed with adding some soy sauce and red pepper powder! Would come back when in the area and perhaps trying the popular ramen and other yakitori :) read more

OMG! Yea yea yes this restaurant was sooo adorable! I was so overwhelmed when I walked in with all the nice decor that even the pictures I have taken don't do it justice. I was in the mood for sushi and the place I was going to try was closing so I came here instead. I was greeted when I first arrived and sat at my booth which was extremely cute. The menu is very interesting as I was just in the mood for sushi...but they have some great options like different meat items and other trendy food options. I really wish I lived closer to here because I would love to try the other menu items as there was a lot dot choose from. Now I'm not sure if they actually have a full bar as I was just ordering one of their signature drinks as I don't think the waitress understood when I asked her for recommendations on other drinks. One thing I did like as I just wanted basic rolls (yellowtail, spicy tuna, and salmon rolls) and they were able to make them no problem. This is how I test out the restaurant by ordering the simple rolls because of they couldn't get those right...then I would suspect they couldn't do complicated rolls either. When and if I'm back in the area I will give them another try! 10/10 read more

Food is AMAZING along with the service. Our server was Calvin and let me tell you. We felt welcome right as we walked in by him. He catered to all our needs and questions. Even hit the mark with some of his recommendations for food choices. Definitely if this place is on your list to try. Please do! read more

Stunning interior with the coziest, most intricate decor that I've ever experienced. The menu, although a bit pricey, is so unique and niche. I wish I were more knowledgeable about sushi so I could say wholeheartedly whether or not the quality is good, but from an average consumers perspective, I'd say it was great, just a bit expensive, and I'm not sure if it's because of the quality or because of the ambience. I almost think you could get similar if not better sushi at another hole in the wall spot, but for the quality AND the vibes, it's definitely a restaurant to remember. Service was also pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary. However, I did really love that they had mocktail options as well for those of us who don't drink, and definitely thought that was a pleasant surprise. This place would be be great for a date night or a fancy dinner! read more

This place has been on my radar. As luck would have it, we stopped by just prior to opening. Staff was great. Lots of greeters, lots of food servers and table staff. I love the menu with their images. It helped hubby and me because of our bad eyesight. The food was great. All of it served hot. The portions were just right for us. I thought hubby would enjoy the Karaage Chicken but he is not a thigh fan so I had a huge portion to myself. I really enjoyed the edamame and it reheated well as a leftover. The shrimp ebi tempura was a nice portion of 3-4 pieces. The skewers weee tinier than expected but had a nice flavor. Staff was so on top of everything. We didn't have to wait for anything. Definitely come back when in the area. I lived the ambiance: small intimate booths, decorative hallways and an open bar. read more

Such a cool place with a unique atmosphere. Came here after seeing some online videos about this place. The food and service were top notch. It isn't a cheap place but also not super expensive. The food was fairly priced and some things like skewers were just a few bucks each while other dishes were $50-100 each. So it just depends on your budget and how much you want to eat/spend. All the food was good but our favorites were the egg tornado fried rice and the skewers. The ramen and sushi was also delicious. I got some regular yakisoba noodles with chicken that was also good but it was supposed to be for the kids in case they didn't like the other food... except they loved the other food so I ate the yakisoba noodle dish basically by myself. The mochi dessert was fun for the kids and they didn't share with my wife and I because they loved it so much. Nice place and recommend making reservations on weekends. Oh! Ask for a room or booth. We got lucky and they sat us in an anime room with tons of anime books and figurines. So so so cool! read more

Our first experience at the Izakaya. Lots of people waiting for the doors to open. This is a stand alone building with lots of nice indoor ambiance. The menu has photos and descriptions. It's a great idea for someone like me that relies on photos. The edamame was hot with a slight chili flavor. I ordered the Curry Katsu, a first for me. I like Katsu but have never had the Japanese curry. It was full of flavor. Staff worked as a team. Our food was delivered promptly. Staff was always checking on us. read more

However the way the restaurant was set up was pretty. Little semi private booths with seat cushions. My udon was so creamy with a unique test. My husband didn't really enjoy his ramen. The lobster and wagyu wasn't warm to eat but the egg was good. Noodles are average with the broth. read more

I went to two different izakaya restaurants back to back in one weekend (bday girl loves izakaya) and this one was lit. I ate so well here; Annandale Issho paled in comparison. Atmosphere, food, everything- I loved it. Service was prompt and friendly (bc they have a convenient call button). Servers order everything on an iPad and food comes out quickly; yakitori came out a little slower. They advertise this place as an immersive experience and it really is. From the meticulously detailed Japanese decorum floor to ceiling to the uniformed wait staff- double fist a highball and a yakitori skewer and you'll forget you're in Chantilly. Food: Chicken karaage- one of the better karaage's I've eaten. So good. Blue fin tuna avocado salad- salad is overdressed but dressing is yummy. Creamy sesame dressing. Tuna was slightly fishy. Yakitori platter- so good. I dipped each into the spicy red pepper flakes they have on the side and liked it even more. Menu online says it has 7 skewers (for 27.99) but updated menu comes w 5 now (pork belly, chicken thigh w leek, zucchini, chicken wing, and beef skirt) for 19.99 Butabara (pork belly)- cooked well and not too fatty Negima (chicken thigh with leek)- I hate leek but this was one of my favorite yakitoris esp w the chicken Gyu harami (beef)- so good! Cooked well. Pink in middle, soft to eat Tebasaki (chicken wing)- good but not my favorite Zucchini- good, exactly what you'd expect We also ordered spicy negima (chicken thigh w leek) and spicy butabara (pork belly). Both delicious and I liked the spicy sauce. Honestly not different enough from the non spicy version, but worth getting if you love chicken thigh/ pork belly. Tornado omelet fried rice- good but I probably wouldn't get again. Just personal preference. My friend LOVED it though. Fried rice has chicken in it. It was warm in the booth and I was sweating by the time we finished dinner. Restaurant fills up quickly. Best to make reservation in advance, otherwise the waitlist can be over an hour. Will come back again! read more

So far the best Izakaya we've been to in the NoVA area. We were seated inside one of the "booths" and they had a Call button for servers-- all the vibes just like Japan. Food was delicious! Their yakitori is served on a portable heat plate to keep it warm. Their meat was perfectly cooked-- nothing too tough nor burnt! Every single thing we had was delicious! If I had to critique anything, it would be the price to food ratio. I feel like some of the appetizers were too small for the price (or too expensive for the size). Definitely coming back here if we want to go to an Izakaya! read more
