    I've been on a sushi streak for the last two months, and this sushi restaurant caught my attention because I happened to be in the same shopping center. I didn't have a ton of time to dine in and it was great that they offer take-out. Although the restaurant itself was very modern and the place had a relaxed vibe. The 10 piece California Roll combo was the most familiar option, and I've learned from experience you can never go wrong with California Rolls. Hopefully someday I will have the time to come back with a friend and enjoy the full experience here.

    I ordered Yu Shan Chicken, as well as Beef with Spring onions... BOTH dishes were completely wrong. The beef with spring onions didn't have a SINGLE green onion. ZERO. The Yu Shan Chicken dish did not have any mushrooms or bamboo shoots... additionally the Yu Shan which indicates "spicy" with a fire icon was possibly one of the sweeeeetest dishes I've ever had. To label it as "Spicy," even for the underdeveloped layman is QUITE a stretch. I have lived in Great Falls for 20 years and have been to Izumi many many times since it first opened. And let me say this with a heavy heart that... the service here has ALWAYS been abysmal. Every. Single time. The server appears annoyed while taking orders, bringing out waters for the table, and even when we asked to wipe down the dirty booth they've sat us in. These behavior was a pattern for YEARS. After years of horrible and rude service at this location, my family and I transitioned to only carry-out. Now they can't even get a simple food order right!

    Shrimp and vegetable tempura
    Marjan W.

    Izumi Sushi has been a delivery lunch favorite of mine this year. I've been seeking fresh, quality sushi with lunch deals and this is the spot. They're located in Great Falls but I've never dined here, only delivery, which has never disappointed. I usually get a 3 roll combo for $15.50, the options are plentiful and not basic. They do also have lunch chirashi which I've tried, and a sashimi special with California roll for about $20. I've tried their hibachi which is great; most recently I got the shrimp and vegetable tempura hibachi and it was excellent. For the sushi, it is always fresh and tastes amazing, even being delivered. My favorites are the spicy white tuna roll and the salmon avocado. The sashimi is excellent and the white tuna here is so fresh. The salmon is also buttery and melts in your mouth. I recommend this place for high quality sushi.

    Sweet potato sushi and garden veggie maki sushi and seaweed salad
    Aarti B.

    Wide selection of sushi, noodle, stir-fry dishes with good vegetarian options, some dishes are a bit better than others. My UberEats delivery sushi spot! The crispy Sweet Potato with eel sauce hit the spot! So good that I didn't even need to request for spicy mayo. The Garden Veggie Maki roll was okay. While it was packed with veggies - cucumber, avocado, asparagus, lettuce, mango - the roll was quite bland. Would be nice for the roll to be topped with a drizzle of soy sauce or spicy mayo or at least an option for an upcharge. The Seaweed Salad with Ponzu dressing was fine, it has a bit too much sauce and quite pricey at $8 on UberEats. The Tofu Teriyaki was okay with chunks of crispy tofu, broccoli, carrots, snap peas - the Teriyaki sauce was very thick and served on the side. Would be nice if the veggies were cooked in the sauce. The sushi rolls are on the smaller side with only 1 piece in the Tuna Maguro roll. Good sushi, lots of options and great for groups and picky-eaters!

    Local neighborhood Sushi place with a cozy atmosphere offering inexpensive & creative rolls. All the employees are friendly & helpful regardless of which table they are serving. Definitely a family oriented restaurant as Toddlers were having fun sticking their food with Chopsticks. The menu is extensive with Appetizers from both the Kitchen & Sushi Bar, Rolls, Sashimi, Ramen, Naruto, Bento Boxes & a page full of Lunch specials. There's also a good selection of Vegetarian options. A well serviced & sociable Sushi restaurant in downtown Great Falls, VA.

    Hot & Sour Soup - This was good, a little bland. We ended up adding more salt and and chilies.

    We've driven past this place a million times, and not sure why we never ate or ordered from Izumi Sushi. I guess we thought we'd order Chinese from a Chinese restaurant, not a Japanese-Chinese place. We decided to order from here today and it wasn't bad at all. We ordered the Spicy Girl Roll, Hot and Sour Soup, Singapore Noodles, Triple Delight and Shredded Spicy Crispy Beef. Everything tasted fresh, clean and descent. It is Great Falls, so a bit on the pricier side but they were quick, clean and this place is convenient. We will definitely be ordering from here again!

    Fancy roll - fried lobster, avocado with mango sauce wrapped in a pink soy wrapper
    Carol D.

    Despite some of the negative reviews on service, they were super friendly tonight when I came in to order takeout. I was near home and headed to Safeway, so I figured this would be better than grocery store sushi and I was right! California roll- perfectly acceptable @ for $5.50 for 6 pieces. Hubs doesn't like avocado so I was able to switch out cuke. Great simple rolls that are difficult to mess up. Fancy roll - $16 for eight pieces. deep fried lobster tail, avocado and mango sauce wrapped in a pink soy wrapper. Great if you're like me and not a seaweed fan (I'm a bad Asian). Totally delicious, but a bit pricey. For take out, the fried lobster got a bit soggy, as the mango sauce soaked into everything. Hubs got the Spicy Girl Roll, but I don't think he's a fan of raw fish. ($13.95- Spicy crunchy tuna, topped with spicy yellowtail, wasabi mayo and wasabi bean cracker) Forgive the bad pics - I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take a pic earlier when they were all wrapped up!

But what we did get was pretty darn good (if a bit pricey)! The style is much more authentic, so if you're looking for something like Hunan Cafe (Greenbriar), or that NOVA institution China King, this is different. Is it better? For the most part, yes. (But I still crave that Americanized sweet, spicy, glazey brown sauce that comes in slight variations in so many dishes). I had the hot and sour soup, Szechuan spicy fried eggplant sticks, Taiwanese rice noodles with fried tofu, and the Chengdu twice cooked pork. Everything was excellent, except....the hot and sour soup. Honestly, Hunan Cafe and China King beat the pants off this place's hot and sour soup. Here, it was a bit too sweet. It had some red chilies in it, but I could not detect much white pepper. And it's a vegetarian version, so no small bits of chicken or pork. I'd skip this the next time I order from here. But the other dishes... amazing! The noodles were light-tasting but still delicious. The eggplant was garnished with cilantro, garlic, salt, and red chili sauce. The twice cooked pork was sauteed with sliced leeks and the same red chili sauce. I think that's the fresh, zingy, spice flavor profile I like that can't be found at Americanized Chinese restaurants. Sure, China King has its place and I'll still go back there when I'm close (RIP China King Fair Lakes and Herndon). And admittedly, I go to that awful Panda chain occasionally because I never learn. The unfortunate thing is, I'll more likely go to these places than Cheng's because of the price. The pork dish was $21 and the noodle dish was $19. My total bill came to $60 before tax and tip. If I need to stuff my face with a Chinese umami bomb fast, I'm probably going to the other places for $15-30. I do want to try the rest of the menu at Cheng's, but it's going to be a drawn-out process for the sake of my wallet. I'd be remiss if I didn't include a comment from my dining partner. She compared the quality and taste of the food at Cheng's to Peter Chang's (either Peter Chang's-Herndon, or Mama Chang Fairfax). A high compliment. But she said the value is better at those places' AYCE options than what we got at Cheng's, and I agree. If you've been to none of these places, you have to try them all at least once.

I specifically explained that I did not want dumpling sauce, I wanted the brown sauce that they already make. I was also in a rush and explained how important the timing was, but despite having both items available, they simply refused this very reasonable request. After driving an hour because I was craving this food and being a loyal customer of Peter Chang's and Mama Chang's for years, I was extremely disappointed. I cannot understand why they would rather refuse a paying customer a sauce they already make than accommodate a simple request. Very disappointing experience.

Our group of five sampled a great variety from the menu, including the Hot & Numbing Tofu Skin, Crab Roe Soup Dumplings, Cucumber Salad, Lettuce Wraps, Cumin Fish, Stir-Fried Beef Tenderloin, Crispy Pork Ribs with Scallion Crisps and Mixed Grain & Purple Rice, Stir-Fried Beef with Chilies, and Kung Pao Chicken with white rice. The standout for me was the cumin fish. It was fried perfectly--crispy without being greasy--and the cumin added great flavor without overpowering the dish. The crispy pork ribs lived up to their name and had a nice kick of spice. The cucumber salad packed a serious garlic punch, which I really enjoyed. The Hot & Numbing Tofu Skin was something completely different from what I expected. It's sliced into long ribbons that resemble noodles or pasta. The flavor was excellent, although the texture took some getting used to. The only dish that fell a little short was the stir-fried beef tenderloin, which could have used a bit more seasoning. Everything else was delicious. The portions are enormous. At first the prices seemed a little high, but once the food arrived it made perfect sense. Every entrée was easily enough for two meals. One thing to keep in mind is that rice is ordered separately and isn't included with the entrées. Service was excellent throughout our meal. We arrived for lunch and didn't realize they close between lunch and dinner (lunch is served from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.). We ended up staying until about 2:45, and the staff never made us feel rushed even though they had technically closed. They greeted us promptly, took our drink orders, and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu without hovering. The restaurant is tucked away on the ground floor of an office building, so it's easy to drive right past if you aren't looking for it. Parking was plentiful, and the oversized booths comfortably fit all five of us without feeling cramped.

    Mandarin was brought to my attention through a Yelp newsletter that discussed places to eat in…read moreReston. We had never heard of Mandarin before that. I looked at the reviews, which are mixed, with some who really like the food but some who were naysayers. Still, we thought it was worth a try. One thing mentioned in a review is that there are currently only two tables in the place. Thus, we were glad to discover that they work with DoorDash. We placed an order this past Sunday. We ordered two hot and sour soups, one order of chicken with snow peas and one order of spicy chicken with garlic sauce. As an aside, rice comes with each entree. We didn't know that so we had ordered one side of rice. As for the food, the portions are large. We got two meals out of them. We were pleasantly surprised by the food. The chicken with snow peas was a mild dish that came with an abundance of white meat chicken and a generous amount of snow peas. The snow peas had a nice crunch to them. The chicken with garlic sauce was mildly spicy and contained white meat chicken, sliced onions, and sliced celery. It reminded me of the same dish I had many years ago: same ingredients, same taste. My husband enjoyed his chicken dish. The hot and sour soup was okay. We've had better, but we've also had worse. If you like button mushrooms, they put a lot of them in this soup. We decided that we would order from them again.

    Punchline: If you like mushy dim sum and servers who complain about customers (you) within earshot,…read morethis may be the place for you. Han Palace has one of the largest all-day dim sum menus in Northern Virginia, so it has been my go-to dim sum restaurant for about six years. Unfortunately, today's experience ended that relationship. When me and my family arrived in the evening and were seated immediately. Within a minute, our server asked if we were ready to order. When I said we needed a little more time, she visibly appeared annoyed. After quickly deciding as a family, I placed our order. Because I studied Chinese as a second language, I sometimes order dishes in Chinese. In my experience, servers either appreciate the effort or simply take the order without issue. This time was very different. The server seemed irritated that I was ordering in Chinese. I switched to ordering by the menu item numbers while pointing directly at the dishes because I thought there might be a misunderstanding. Surprisingly, she insisted that I order using the dish names instead. Had the experience ended there, I would have chalked it up to an awkward miscommunication. Unfortunately, it got worse. Less than 30 seconds after taking our order, two dishes arrived. The speed made me wonder whether the food had already been sitting out. The steamed pork buns were so dry that one had cracked open, and the shrimp dumplings were mushy and stuck firmly to the paper liner. I was later surprised to see another reviewer describe a similar experience several months ago. After dropping off the food, the server walked over to a colleague and began speaking in Chinese. They repeatedly looked directly at me while discussing my attempt to order in Chinese. Since I understand the language, it was clear that she was complaining about me. This happened several times while the restaurant was relatively empty. Each time, she returned to the same spot to continue the conversation, with her colleague looking directly at me. After the third time, I asked for the check because I wanted to leave. Paying premium prices for disappointing food is one thing; having the staff openly criticize you while you're dining is another. As we were leaving, I heard the server mutter, "What's his problem?" I will not be returning. I understand that everyone has a bad day, but the combination of poor food quality and unprofessional service made this one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in years. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision before dining here.
