    * Crazy Nana Roll ( 8 )
    Annette A.

    The food here is tasty and service is good. The ambiance is outstanding. The private tables are great and the decor is fun. Presentation of skewers was nice. Food is piping hot. BUT. The portion sizes are too small and too expensive. Might keep me from returning.

    Izakaya Nana is worth checking out for the atmosphere alone. The ambiance is amazing, with Japanese anime and manga displays, themed wallpaper, and décor everywhere that really makes you feel like you're in a Japanese izakaya. The service was outstanding. If you need anything, you simply ring the bell at your table, and someone is there within seconds. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always on point. As for the food, it was good--pretty much what you'd expect from a solid Japanese sushi restaurant. Nothing wildly different, but everything was enjoyable. What really sets this place apart is the unique vibe and dining experience. If you're looking for more than just sushi and want a fun, immersive atmosphere with excellent service, Izakaya Nana is definitely worth a visit.

    First time here with a friend for lunch and upon entering I was already unimpressed. We walked in and expected to see a host/hostess to help us sit down but instead we just stood there while 3-4 employees just stood there staring at us.... It was really awkward.... and they weren't even busy..... I was even thinking of leaving if no one came up to help us..... Eventually we kept staring at the employees (almost a minute has gone by) and one girl finally came up to help us and asked if we had reservations. No. Then notifies us that the tables up front are self seating. There were no signs to inform us of that whatsoever..... Anyways food was yummy though. The Mentaiko cream udon was very flavorful as compare to other places I've had it at! The beef, pork jowel and chicken thigh yakitori were also yummy. My friend has a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate with gluten free soy sauce. Overall I'd love to come back to experience the other rooms and more of the food. However I was a bit peeved upon coming in as a first timer. Food 5/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 5/5

    This place definitely has Izakaya vibes. It's almost like you're being transported to Japan and you can be split off into little booths for your own parties. Parking isn't too bad, but it is a little tucked away and a little awkward too park. The menu is quite vast. It took me over 10 minutes to look through what was available. I do appreciate that they had photos for each of their dishes and everything was pretty accurate to the picture that I ordered. I was sat down in one of their booze, which was pretty private. I had some of their "best " yakitori items: spicy butabara which was pork belly and the kashira which is their pork jowel. Both were really flavorful and had great sauce, although the butabara wasn't that spicy. I like the pork jowel more out of the two. I was debating getting a Ramen or a donkatsu or a curry dish. They have a lot of different options, but I ended up going with the sashimi sampler and the Hako Sushi. The Hako was very visually, appealing with it squares and middle nest layer of spicy tuna. Thought overall it was pretty good, I just wish the top layers of fish were a little thicker. The sashimi sampler was also pretty good, one of the items was raw marinated shrimp, which was sweet. This sashimi cuts of fish were thicker. I did like most of them, but not all of the pieces. In order to be able to try a lot more things I would definitely suggest coming with a bigger group. It's nice that the menu is quite large so you have plenty of options to choose from. I could see this definitely being an after work or even later into the evening type of place. It definitely has a Japanese aesthetic and the staff was pretty cool.

    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.

    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.

    Spicy Island Roll, chili wings and Chicken Yakisoba
    Tiffani C.

    Came here after doing a google search when leaving king spa. My husband and I were on a staycation to celebrate our 1st year anniversary. My husband is big into anime and he loveddd the ambiance of the restaurant. You could tell this was a nice hang out place especially after 9 pm, but it wasn't rowdy or anything. We ordered drinks I can't remember the names, mine was a seltzer and my husband had one of the beers. We had good service & food came out really quick. I ordered the chili wings for a starter and the spicy island roll, I will say I have had better for both but I could see it just being because I ordered the wrong things. My husband got the chicken yakisoba and enjoyed. I would return and try something else.

    Omurice

    Very lively atmosphere with themed rooms and Japanese decor everywhere. I had my first ever omurice with curry here and asked the egg to be cooked more well-done. They had a very expansive menu, from rolls to ramen to yakitori and sashimi. Reservations recommended

    * Sushi Dragon Balls(7)
    Vic S.

    This place is such a great surprise! The atmosphere is beautiful with a fun, elevated vibe that makes it feel much more special than I expected. The menu has a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. I ordered the Sushi Dragon Balls, and they were much larger than I expected--packed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back!

    Great food, service leaves a bit to be desired and the prices are a bit high. The portions are nice sized. Very similar to actual Japanese cuisine ! Would definitely come again.

    Ramen Nana

    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.

    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

    We had an amazing experience at Izakaya Nana! The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our waiter, Young, provided exceptional service throughout our meal. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed. The combination of incredible food and outstanding service made for a fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Izakaya Nana to anyone looking for authentic Japanese food and excellent hospitality!

    $35.99 ramen cup is it because you get to keep the cup?

    No, I didn't get to keep the cup, but that would be nice if you could. I would have loved to have the cup! I think it's because of the seafood, and all the protein that comes in the cup.

    Is the spicy miso ramen vegetarian?

    No sure but I think it can be made vegetarian. Do ask about the broth base as many broths are non veg.

    Do they allow walk-ins? Do they allow a party of 1?

    Yes

    Are there vegetarian options? FYI they are in soft opening so their FULL menu is not available yet. Yes I know there is a menu online but they have limited menu options. Thanks, Giao.

    There are but it is limited
