The sushi was actually pretty affordable and decent in size--so refreshing to see since most places charge $18 & up for specialty roles. If that wasn't the icing on the cake, the service was just above & beyond... waitress constantly checked up on us and even struck a lil convo. Witnessing her water the plants from the distance we could really tell she cared about the restaurant (could be the owner tbh). With that being said, I think this may be my favorite sushi spot in Chantilly! Well deserved!! :)

Service, young women with amazing smiles make my dinner so enjoyable. Finally food, The first impression was pretty good, but food wasn't their strong point. I've been visiting the Nova area to find a good Japanese restaurant, but this one is lower than average to be honest. Sushi rice was undercooked and hard, which kills good quality sushi. In my opinion, this is the most crucial aspect for Japanese restaurants. The arrangement was okay, but they knew how to prepare the fish, but the quality was not good. We all experience inflation and shrinkage, but you should choose quality seafood. For about $30 per dish and fish, I'd rather go to a sushi buffet near me that costs $27 per person. I might give it another shot and see how it goes.

I am visiting from out of town and this was my first place that I stopped at for dinner. It was…read moresuper quiet as we were the only patrons that were in there at the time, but it definitely got busier as the night progress. I believe this place is open till 2 AM which is probably why as a night progressed it got way more crowded. The service: The waiter, I forgot his name I'm sorry, was super sweet and very insensitive. The food: We ordered so many things on the food menu, but the absolute star of the show was the Ramen. The broth was the best I've ever had and I still think about it two weeks later lol it is beef flavored based and it had the perfect amount of ingredients. If you want to add beef to it, it is extra. Everything honestly was pretty good so I have no bad reviews, but the Ramen was definitely the queen of a show

The pork cutlet was not dry or tough. The panko or outer portion was cooked extremely well, where it was a golden brown and crunchy. The staff continues to be super friendly and accommodating.

You can make reservations if you'd like, but the place was relatively empty when we went. There's not much seating inside, so I wouldn't recommend going in a group larger than 4 people. The service was okay, it took a while for the dishes to come out and for us to get water. We also let the waiter know that we have a vegetarian in the group and he let us know he was pescatarian and gave us his recommendations. We ordered the miso mushroom udon pasta, which came with fish flakes on top. We asked for it to be re-made without fish flakes and he apologized. In terms of the food overall, the portions were small for the price. The tofu curry came with 4 pieces of fried tofu and a small portion of rice and curry. It was also kinda bland, but was fixed with sauces on the side. There was a good amount of vegetables in the curry though. The pork tonkatsu appetizer and cucumber salad did taste flavorful and were crispy, would recommend. They paired well with the sauces that came on the side as well. The mushroom miso udon was different. The sauce was creamy and umami but needed some spice. Overall, the food isn't really conducive to vegetarians, but the ambiance and vibe are nice for a happy hour.

The udon noodles were pretty good and your standard udon you'd get at any other place. There was a good amount of seating and the servers were nice! The inside had some pretty decor and was clean.

I was definitely shocked to see a line outside before opening with additional folks waiting in their cars. Of course wanting to try the popular items, I ordered the souffle strawberry pancakes along with the Katsu Sando. My eyes being too big I definitely ordered way too much food but I would say the souffle pancake was definitely worth the wait. One point I would make is I wouldn't order it as a to-go order and is a dish you should plan to eat there - the souffle deflates by the time you get home (which I expected and wouldn't blame them). The Katsu Sandwich was also exceptional as well. I feel I'm pretty peculiar with my tonkatsu and the pork was cooked really well (crispy on the outside/juicy on the inside). Would definitely come back again as they definitely have a unique menu vs other spots in the area.
