    Pork Belly Baos (Steamed Buns)
    Eva L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute tucked away sushi and ramen spot near Tysons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were very accommodating with our questionable party size. We ended up with 8 and they were able to accommodate. The food was pretty good. Staff did an amazing job accommodating our group. We ordered the aged dashi, chicken Karage as appetizers, and pork belly buns as appetizers. My favorite of them was the pork belly buns. They had pretty good flavor. Each appetizer came with 2 buns, so we ordered 3 so everyone could try. A friend and I ended up sharing rolls. We ordered the caterpillar, red light, dynomite roll, eel roll. All were good and highly suggest looking at what you want before hand because they have a lot of rolls and even some limited menu items (on a separate menu). I think the rolls were pretty good and I think the one I enjoyed most was the green light, red light roll. Nothing in particular stood too far out, I do really like eel in the dishes which surprising not a lot of specialty rolls included. I do wish they came by and told us again which rolls were which since they all came on the same platter. Definitely worth a stop. They also had ramen which a couple of people at the table ordered, so maybe I'll come back for that next time.

    sushi came out fast and we had good service! for what you pay, the food is decent and not the freshest but a great place if you want affordable sushi

    Tonkotsu

    My friend and I stopped by Kizuna for dinner this past Friday after a friend recommended the ramen here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is warm and vibrant with a modern Japanese interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server gave us his recommendations and we got our ramens pretty quickly. TONKOTSU RAMEN - 15 Our server said he liked to tonkotsu over the shio, so I ended up going with this one. This one comes with two nicely charred pork chashu, garlic oil, ginger, beansprouts, scallions, and nori. Sadly, I do not think this comes with a ramen egg, so you'll have to pay extra if you want it. The broth was creamy and flavorful (I could definitely taste the richness of the fat) but not overly salty. The pork chashu was a bit dry, but good flavor overall. I loved the generous amount of scallions. The noodles (yellow egg noodles here) soaked up the broth well and and beansprouts provided a nice crunchy texture. It hit the spot, but nothing to write home about. Not the best ramen spot in the DMV, and the portion size is slightly smaller compared to other spots. I could definitely eat more, though. Also, no ramen egg comes with it, sad!

    Sushi

    Delicious sushi, interesting authentic Japanese appetizers and staff. Would come back for the sushi, but skip the ramen. Go to Mauraman for ramen instead that's cheaper and more flavorful in my opinion. Don't believe the hype from the Washington Post for their special changsu ramen--not worth it. My wife found a hair on her sushi. The owner was very understanding; explained how the staff complained about hair nets because of the hot summer. But because of this, she's going to ask them to re-wear it. So the owner comped the shrimp sushi and gave us the Japanese ice cream sandwiches for free. I'd come back just for their delicious sushi. Also, one of the few places in the area with Japanese workers, versus Chinese or Koreans.

    Family-owned ramen bar with fantastic sushi. They use fresh in-house clean-label bone broths and ramen that are amalgamated with just the right combination to tantalize both the traditional and modern Japanese and Western palates. I had the Kizuna ramen and it was delicious! Premium Aburi Chashu (high grade pork belly carved and rolled, marinated overnight, braised for over 7 hours, chilled, sliced, and then chargrilled to smoky, tender perfection), delightful ramen noodles that are perfectly cooked and textured, and your usual ramen accoutrements, topped with a perfectly cooked and sliced Ramen Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago). Jinya ramen really can't compare with this, in my opinion. if you get the chance to meet the owner Rock or his family members, be sure to ask them about the story of the restaurant. it's a warm combination of east meets west!

    Great sushi for the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice and white.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly and very fast. The buns for especially Good on the appetizer menu. Be cautious because spicy means SPICY for the specialty rolls . If you don't like heat, avoid any of the spicy sushi on the menu.

    Vegetable Shio
    Claudia L.

    In the realm of casual elevated sushi and ramen places, Kizuna is one of my favorites. I've dined here countless times. Staff is welcoming and attentive, and food is usually served quickly. I almost always order the vegetable shio ramen - a creature of habit! The broth tastes homemade with fresh ingredients - hits the spot every time.

    The sushi was a great price and absolutely delicious! It was also presented very nice and they had a lot of options. The owner came to a lot of the tables and was super sweet. Our waitress was also pretty fast, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the music was really good![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not a single lie told, btw just a great place.

    Chicken Shio
    Sanjana R.

    The Chicken Shio ramen was yummy, and the chicken was cooked perfectly, and was not dry at all. The Smothered Tater Tots were very good too, I loved how the pork was prepared, it was very flavorful and paired well with the tots! The service was great, our waiter was very nice and even packed my leftover ramen up for me. They checked up on us several times, which was considerate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of the place is great too, it wasn't too crowded when we went on a Monday evening, and the decor/vibe is pretty and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely visit again to try the sushi out!

    Chicken ramen
    Lily R.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant and the bamboo garden outside are so pretty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food comes out fast but the chicken wings take awhile. The ramen is the best here, definitely recommend any of the different types.

    Tuna & Avocado Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Gabriel R.

    Fast and good food. Stopped by for a quick salad and sushi roll. Service was quick, brought out our waters right away. We ordered miso soup and seaweed salad, both appetizers came out quick and very tasty. We got tuna avocado sushi rolls and shrimp tempura sushi roll. They were delicious and very fresh. Will definitely come back again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was cozy and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The brilliance of Kizuna is that they offer both SUSHI and RAMEN in the same place. My sushi folks don't eat ramen so we hadn't been able to go to ramen exclusive restaurants. Now I can have ramen while they have sushi. This is genius! Having said that, I didn't get ramen this time Lol. I was feeling sushi so let's rate their sushi. Their signature rolls were outstanding even though I don't understand why some sushi rolls are so huge to fit into one bite. I was surprised they had White Tuna nigiri. I always look for them in sushi restaurants. I'd rate the ones here 9/10 - not the best I've had but good. The salmon avocado hand roll was spot on 10/10. There are so many more items on their menu I want to come back for. The pickled ginger here is one of the best I've ever had. Perhaps, they made it from scratch. The kick it gave was unique, unlike other restaurants. The miso soup, however, was watered down and tasted off. I'd skip it next time. Kizuna managed to find a secluded building in the Tyson area. It's a great location with many parking spaces right in front. This is a busy area to have such a dedicated building and parking space. The layout and presentation inside also welcome you in. I especially love the ceiling full of dim light. The restaurant is split into two halves - one half has tables like any other restaurant and the other half is like a ramen bar. To top it all off, the waitress was attentive showing up at the right time to order and delivering food without long pauses in between. VERDICT: so many good options, and amazing lighting, coming back for more!

    This place is a gem! Beautiful restaurant, I went for lunch with friends and it was quiet but lovely. The staff were very kind. I love that they have both sushi and ramen. The sushi was very good, I wish the spicy mayo was mixed into the spicy tuna instead of put on top, but otherwise the food was delicious. Vegan options are alright but not phenomenal. The shio ramen was divine! There's only one other place that has ramen this good that I've tried.

    My adventurous eater and I tried out Sushi Koji after rugby yesterday. It was a real treat. Our…read moreserver was very helpful in helping us decide what to get, and we thought we would try sashimi (after reading reviews about the place) as well as noodles. Fellow Yelpers did not steer us wrong! We ordered Otoro (fatty tuna) and sake belly (salmon belly) sashimi, listed as 3 pieces each. We also ordered tempura udon, a shrimp tempura roll*, takoyaki, and mentaiko butter udon (off the specials menu). Let me begin by saying the space is clean, roomy, and well-decorated. We enjoyed looking at the artwork and figurines, which included anime figures that we recognized. There were many tables, and though they may be physically close together, there is enough separation to be comfortable without being on top of each other or feeling cramped. There was a family of five that was seated next to us partway through the meal, and I never felt like the noise level changed or that we suddenly felt as if there were more people around. The takoyaki came out covered in bonito flakes. The sauce was a perfect blend of tempered spicy mayo as my adventurous eater enjoyed it without being overwhelmed by heat. The bites were well-sized as not to be too large, but we were able to bite in without burning our tongues our with the right balance of batter and octopus, and we both enjoyed it greatly. The sashimi came out with the shrimp tempura roll on a beautifully arranged boat - 4 pieces each! We each tried two pieces of otoro and sake belly, and the pieces just melted into our mouth. The otoro was garnished with what appeared to be hint of wasabi and maybe chopped jalapeño, which was too much for my adventurous eater to try, so I gently scraped it off. Neither of us were able to taste anything but the well-chosen slices of fatty tuna, which were a hit. We then tried the sake belly which were garnished with a sliver of fried garlic and garlic paste. Again, I scraped it off for the adventurous eater, who then raved about how delicious it was! I tried it with the garlic and agreed. The garlic was perfectly fried, and was the right amount not to overwhelm the delicate buttery texture and flavor of the salmon belly. Although, I will admit - while it's a nice flavor to add, the sashimi itself didn't need anything to be added. The tempura udon came out, with perfectly battered pieces - 2 shrimp, an asparagus, an onion ring, a slice of sweet potato, and a slice of eggplant. My adventurous eater attacked the shrimp while I munched on veggies. The batter was crispy, light, and not greasy. My mentaiko butter udon came out and I am so glad I ordered it! There was a little nest of noodles, with two halves of a soft-boiled egg, and plenty of creamy sauce. The menu described the dish as buttery and umami and it did not deceive. The udon was perfectly chewy and slurpable, coated with delicious creamy sauce. I debating mixing in the eggs because they looked so perfect, so I dipped one half in the sauce instead and ate that whole, before mixing in the other half into my bowl. Even my adventurous eater tried a little bit of my udon and agreed that it was delicious! Not having had mentaiko butter before, I looked it up before writing this review. The dish is described as being a spicy-fish roe butter sauce, but what we are talking about is a very mild heat. The dish was warming, tasty, and very comforting. It was also surprisingly light considering the buttery richness of the flavors. I finished every last bit of the noodles in my bowl and drank the rest of the sauce, with all the fish roe stirred in. I may have also commented a couple of times on how phenomenal the dish was. That was when our server shared that it was the first day it had been on the menu, so they were looking for feedback. I would say that the dish alone is worth checking out, but I feel like you will keep coming back due to the quality of everything else. I think this place is a gem and I will definitely look for excuses to return to Oakton to eat there again. Between the friendly service, the cheerful ambiance, and the amazing food, this is hitting all the right notes! * My adventurous eater filled up on everything else before even getting to the shrimp tempura roll, so we ended up packing up the rest of the udon and the shrimp tempura roll to bring home. Due to life, the roll never made it into the fridge, so we tragically had to toss it without trying it. I wish I could tell you how it was, but I can say the roll was beautifully formed and served and looked absolutely delicious. This is where I wish I had taken pictures of everything.

We ordered the Sushi…read morefor 2, which came out as a full sushi boat with around 12 different types of sushi and nigiri, and it was way more food than we expected in a good way. I initially thought it would be mostly rolls, but it leaned more toward nigiri. That said, everything was super fresh and really well prepared, so no complaints there. I recently started eating seafood again after years of avoiding it, so I have been easing into it, and this was actually a really good place to do that. The fish tasted fresh, clean, and not overly fishy, which made it a lot easier to enjoy. The Osaka roll, which our server recommended, was really good, but my favorite was definitely the paradise roll from the sushi boat. Anything with shrimp tempura is a win for me, and this one hit the spot. The ambiance is cute, cozy, and on the smaller side, which made the whole experience feel more quiet and intimate. It did not feel rushed at all, which I appreciated, especially since we were breaking our fast. We ended up taking a lot of food to go because the portions were so generous, and surprisingly, everything still tasted fresh and delicious even the next two days. The only downside is that it is definitely on the pricier side, but the quality, portions, and overall experience helped justify it. Overall, great quality sushi, generous portions, and a calm, intimate vibe. Definitely a spot I would come back to, especially if I am in the mood for fresh sushi without a loud or hectic atmosphere.

The bad thing about Genki Izakaya is how crowded it can be. I'm not sure I would show up without reservations again. I've been there 3 times, the first time we didn't have a reservation and the hostess seemed very hesitant to add us to the wait list. She said the waitlist was very long. We decided not to wait. The second time we also didn't have a reservation and the hostess again seemed very hesitant to add us to the wait list. This time we did wait and were quoted 1.5 hours and it actually took about an hour. Not as bad as quoted but still busy! Third time we finally had a reservation and it still took us 20 mins to get seated as they did not have a table ready for us. To be honest the restaurant itself seems too small, they probably could be twice as big. The reason is the food at Genki Izakaya is in my opinion the best of the 3 Izakayas in the area. The Yakitori is good, hot and reasonably priced although I wish they would let you customize the $20 Yakitori Platter. I tried the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Hot Stone and was surprised that they cook it for you instead of you cooking it yourself on the hot stone. The waiter overcooked 2 pieces of the Wagyu which is annoying when it is so expensive but overall it tasted great. I like their Tonkotsu Ramen, it broth tastes great and I've had ramen all over this area, in New York City, LA area, Tokyo and Kyoto. It isn't the best I've ever tasted but it is really good especially for this area. Once seated the service is good and the food comes out quickly and everything we've had has tasted great. The only problem is how crowded it can be because its so popular! Only bad thing for us is it isn't too close about a 45 min drive but worthwhile - definitely try it if you like Izakayas and Japanese food.

For the food, the appetizer platter is a great deal for the price and offers a nice variety. The popcorn chicken had a great Sichuan kick that I really enjoyed but wasn't overly spicy. I was really excited for the beef ramen, but it was a massive letdown. The beef itself was super tough and lacked flavor. While the broth was well balanced and clean, there simply wasn't enough of it - even though I asked to skip the corn. It feels like this place focuses a lot of energy on the interior decor, promos, and aesthetics, while the quality of the main entrees hasn't quite caught up. Because the core dish missed the mark, I don't think I'd come back.
