Everything was good and fresh here but quite pricey. On weekends there is no lunch menu. Dinner menu only. I ordered the tuna bone and the small one was around $19. Unfortunately they came back and said they only had the large one which was $25. No problem since you can't find it everywhere. Overall it was a unique experience but they should give hand wipes since you have to hold the bone in order to scrape the meat. There wasn't much meat in the bones and it was standard maguro. The treasure box was very small but choice meats. I'd go with the standard chirashi next time. I'll be back but not soon given I spent $175 for two at lunch. read more

My new favorite sushi restaurant in the DMV! This restaurant was opened by a former Yuraku head chef (Yuraku is an iconic Montgomery County, MD spot) and some of the other team members have moved over. Not only is the quality top tier in respect to freshness, value, and options, they have created new items to really put them over the top, add to the fact that the location is beautiful, modern, and relaxing. I can't wait to make the drive and go again! read more

Excellent service and sushi! We were served by Anand who was friendly and had great recommendations. Sushi had so much fish in it compared to most places we have been to and are very rich. Highly recommend the flying dragon and tuna ninja. We also tried the chicken katsu which was great and crispy. Chicken stir fry udon had a bit too much onion about 1/3 of it was onion. We would definitely come back! read more

Sushi Cho is a hidden gem of Fairfax for sushi enthusiasts like me. From the moment you step through the door, the ambiance of this small-scale restaurant exudes a sense of authenticity, setting the stage for a sushi experience that revolves around freshness and delightful flavors. FOOD: The star of the show is undoubtedly their nigiri, a testament to the commitment to sourcing the freshest ingredients available. Each piece of nigiri is a masterpiece, showcasing the craftsmanship of the sushi chefs. The fish is exceptionally fresh compared to other sushi restaurants I've been to, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that reflects the high quality of their seafood. I hate the "fishy" smell produced by raw fish that are not well-kept and these nigiri had none of it. We had salmon, tuna, fatty tuna, uni, and yellowtail nigiris. The rolls are nothing short of a flavor explosion. Creativity and innovation are apparent in every roll, with combinations that surprise and delight the palate. We tried the Last Samurai and Salmon Lover rolls and each roll is a work of art. The chefs pay meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a perfect balance of textures and flavors in every bite. The use of fresh vegetables, premium rice, and top-notch seafood elevates the sushi experience to new heights. The tonkatsu taco and uni tacos were extremely flavorful - highly recommend! PRICE: The cost may lean towards the higher end of the spectrum for typical sushi restaurants in DMV, especially MP items like uni. But it is justified by the quality of the ingredients and the skillful preparation. The commitment to freshness, the larger-than-average size of nigiri, and the use of premium components may contribute to the slightly elevated prices. In the grand scheme of things, considering the overall experience, the pricing can be seen as reasonable for those seeking an amazing sushi dining experience. SERVICE: The service is worth noting as well. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to guide diners through the extensive menu. Whether you're a seasoned sushi aficionado or a first-time visitor, the staff's expertise ensures that you make the most of your dining experience. In conclusion, this place is a haven for sushi lovers, offering a sushi experience that celebrates the essence of freshness and flavor without breaking the bank. The nigiri is a standout, with a focus on impeccable quality and taste. The rolls are a testament to creativity, and while the prices may be on the higher side, they are justified by the exceptional dining experience. If you're looking to indulge in a sushi adventure that goes beyond the ordinary, Sushi Cho is the place to be. read more

Coming here with friends and family has always been welcoming, warm, and an atmospheric breath of fresh air with the nice wooden interior. The food here is refreshing and presentation of the dishes shows the delicate care they put into each dish. Service is friendly and professional. I would recommend giving the menu a look beforehand online, or through pictures here on yelp as the selections here can be a bit overwhelming for some. Overall nice place for sushi! read more

Freshest sushi in the area. Highly recommended. The salmon lovers roll is our favorite

I have been wanting to try out this place for a while and finally got the chance! They're well known for the seared salmon appetizer (they light the dish table side)! It was probably the best dish we tried. I wish it had more pieces and the sear gave it a nice smoky flavor. We also tried their salmon lover roll, a deep fried tuna and salmon roll, and one with every fish! We weren't expecting the pieces to be huge, but the rolls are super filling with lots of fish and little rice. The service was pretty quick and I love how intimate and clean the interior is. A perfect date spot! Overall, it was enjoyable, a little bit on the pricey side of sushi but still worth a visit. It's definitely not authentic Japanese sushi but still good! I wouldn't say it's my favorite sushi place, but if you're in the mood for rolls they have so many options to choose from! read more

One of top sushi places in the NOVA area. Love the ambiance and decor. Amazing staff and sweet chefs. Parking could be better but not the worst. We did the seared salmon appetizer (I love all things salmon) and it was delicious! My group of friends mostly did a la carta and that was the best! We were given chawanmushi, salad and soup to start. The fish on the nigiri was plump and fresh. They are super generous with the cuts. The maki rolls and the handrolls were equally as generous and super filling. Highly recommend nigiri first followed by handrolls and maki to finish. Highly Recommend! I do hear that it does get packed but it is worth the wait. read more

We tried getting in on a weekend night but it was packed and didn't take online reservations, so we tried again earlier on a weekday. We were seated quickly and I picked the "Frying Dragon" roll because I cannot have raw meat. The food came fast and my roll had raw meat... what?? The waiter explained that the menu item name and description were wrong -- that it was actually called "Flying Dragon" and it had raw fish. I explained that I can't eat it then, and the waiter asked the chefs to "figure out something" without raw meat. The result was a hastily made flying dragon roll with avocado. So the food was average but I'm docking a star because the waiter clearly knew that menu item was wrong but no one has bothered to change it. Also we were handed the check as soon as someone thought we were done, before we asked for it. I docked another star for being rushed out of the restaurant. We probably won't be coming back. There's other sushi restaurants in the area with better service, better rolls for cheaper and menus that are accurate. read more

Look, let me tell you that I am a sushi lover. Out of all the places in northern Virginia, I'd say sushi Cho has the best sushi in the town. The quality of sushi are top notch along with great service. Anytime my friend wants to try some new sushi place, I tell them no because they can't beat sushi Cho. read more

My hubs and I stopped by here around 5 pm on a Saturday. They don't take reservations, but you can call ahead to be put on the waitlist. We were lucky enough to get seated right away, but it got pretty busy closer to peak dinner time. The interior is cute, bright, and airy. Service was phenomenal from start to finish. We ordered a variety of sushi dishes. You could tell everything is very fresh. My favorite bites were the salmon sashimi and the California uni. They also offered a complimentary yellowtail at the end, which I don't typically go for, but omg it was so good. I will definitely order that again when I go back. Def recommend visiting for a nice experience with quality sushi! read more

This might be my new favorite sushi spot in northern Virginia - the sushi here really hit the spot after not having sushi for a while!! First, for the most important stuff - the fish was FRESH and high quality, you could tell they served great cuts and didn't skimp on the size of the pieces. The nigiri was thick and well-portioned, the salmon and tuna pieces especially were melt-on-the-tongue good. Shrimp tempura roll was huge and everything on the platter was fantastic! Really satisfied my sushi cravings - this 60 piece platter + 3 rolls was perfect for 3 people. The price is a little high but at around $140-$150, it was well-justified for the quality. This place is brand new, and so the decor is super clean too and would be great for a date night. I will say that the parking is a little limited and I would imagine it might be a bit hard to find a spot during weekend nights when the kbbq spot next door gets packed, but I'll still be returning regardless with new friends in tow. read more

While the food is tasty, it's a tad bit on the expensive side. The reason is that the portions are HUGE. I got the chicken fried rice (about $15 before tax) and there was a LOT of onion in my dish. I put a lot of soy sauce in my dish as well (there's soy sauce at every table). read more

My boyfriend and I came here on our first date in November and have kept coming ever since! We often make the two hour drive home from college just to eat here!! The chefs and staff are so kind and remember us every-time we come in! The quality of fish is excellent and rolls are very affordable for the size! Our favorites are the salmon nacho, salmon belly, Sweetheart roll, salmon ninja roll, and lobster in paradise roll! If you love sushi, this is the place to go!!! read more

One of the best in NOVA. Aesthetics are modern and simple. I'm always on the hunt for a new sushi spot (restaurants in general) and I this place has high quality fish. Roll menu is extensive ( yes 100 rolls) but all the ones we ordered were so good. Some of my favorites are the Chesapeake, Mafia Roll, and double salmon roll. The rice to fish ratio is perfect and everything has been so fresh every time I visit. It is a nice surprise to give a sample of their sushi on the house! Looking forward to being a regular customer here! read more

10/10 service and experience. We were mind-blown by the flavors. One thing is the seared salmon belly was paired so nicely with like a guac or avocado topping. It sat on a lemon slice which made it taste so clean and worked so well together. All the nigiris were so good and were huge pieces! We were absolutely amazed by every bite we had. The hand rolls were our ending pieces and it was beyond flavorful! Top-tier. We will 100% be back. I can't remember the name of the eel roll we had but it also had salmon in it! So good, we devoured everything. Chef was absolutely the sweetest as well. The staff was patient with us and our order and constantly checked on us. read more

Visited with a couple friends for an early dinner. We were seated quickly as we came as soon as they opened & took a while to look through the menu, 100 rolls of sushi btw! We ordered the seared salmon belly for an appetizer since we've seen it everywhere & it was quite worth it. We got sashimi deluxe which tasted so fresh & very high quality. Also got 4 random rolls to share which were all good and unique. The server was great & maybe even heard us talking about how good the salmon belly was, and gave us a free one on the house!! The ambiance was chill and not too loud and I enjoyed great food with great company. Will be making a trip back, though I will warn that parking is a bit difficult as there is not much available so I probably wouldn't come during peak hours!! read more

Went with a group of of 6 tonight for the first with no reservation on a Saturday night and they were able accommodate us despite being very busy. We split the nigiri and 2 roll platter and found all the fish to be fresh and delicious! Our service was fantastic, very attentive and extremely helpful about the menu! The entire party received soup and salad comped, and a family style salad! The chef gave us a sample of 3 seared salmon belly and 3 seared yellowtail at the end which was my personal highlight! read more

Sushi Cho - Nigiri and 2 roll platter for 2 Asked to switch spicy tuna roll to spicy salmon and we got it! - Japanese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

So happy this place opened up! To sum it up - their sashimi is super fresh/high quality & the service is out of this world friendly. They do their best to accommodate even during the busiest times (and trust it can get really crazy). Their menu has a vast selection of sushi rolls, sashimi, & other dishes that you'll find at any sushi establishment. My favorites are the toro sashimi and seared salmon belly appetizer. They also have great sake. Parking can be hectic especially during the weekends because the lot is limited. I've dined in as well as ordered to go and their quality is nothing short of excellent. Warning: there will most likely be a wait either way so plan ahead. Their establishment, albeit small, is clean and aesthetically pleasing, there is even a private area for a large group. This place has probably moved up to my number one sushi spot in the Fairfax area -- already planning my next visit! read more

Sushi Cho - Japanese Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

The owner reached out to me after my initial review to apologize for the service on my first visit and I appreciated that. After talking to several coworkers, they were all aware of the worker I had complained about and had been treated similarly before so I guess he had a pattern. Since the worker no longer is employed there I decided to revisit on Wednesday with some coworkers. We had a 6:30pm reservation and I was appreciative that my friend was seated before the rest of the party arrived (stuck in traffic from rain!) We ordered six rolls and salmon sashimi on rice bowl. The sushi was good with a nice presentation and we even received complementary seared yellow tail towards the end of the meal that tasted great. My only complaint is that we needed to ask for water and soy sauce refill at the beginning of the meal, but the remainder of the meal had no issues. We were even asked by the manager at the end of the meal how we thought it was. I would recommend Sushi Cho to others as the employees working on Wednesday were great. read more

Worst host experience. Rude and arrogant attitude of host threw us off. Asked for a table and simply told us how long was the wait without taking any information from us. Wasn't sure if we had to wait or just leave. So we left. Anyways, their food is not that good to wait to eat it. read more

I was really excited to try this place and I have to say, it did live up to the Yelp hype. There was a 30 minute wait for weekday lunch. We did a lunch special and got 3 sashimi bento boxes which was SO filling. So freaking fresh it had Nemo screaming. My favorite was the yellowtail. Wish it came with more slices of sashimi though since it is a sashimi dish... The tempura was light and crispy and salad was average. Good place for staple, fresh sushi. Will definitely try some rolls next time!! read more

Just want to update my review because the manager did reach out and already apologized for the rice. I will consider giving it a try again and re-review soon! ---------------------------------------------------- Ordered Lunch Sushi B, Lunch Sushi & Sashimi Combo, and 3 Rolls to go. Cost around $80 with tax. Fish Quality: 3/5 Tuna was fresh and not fishy, but Salmon Belly and Conch (?) Nigiri were quite chewy and a little off-putting. Rice / Seaweed Quality: 1/5 Rice was hard and seaweed was stale :( It made the rolls and nigiri difficult to finish - especially the unagi roll. My mouth was very dry at the end of the meal. Service: 4/5 Friendly and efficient but had to call to pick up. No online ordering and no take out menus are available. Glad we tried it during lunch instead of dinner. Since there are so many similar and slightly cheaper options in the area, I probably won't come back soon. read more

i'm glad i brought my dad here for his early birthday. ヾ(´｀*)ﾉ Sashimi for 2: contains tuna, salmon, salmon roe, amberjack, stripe jack, scallop, sweet shrimp, yellowtail, flounder, and squid. Bright and clean platter with lots of thick cuts. I think the main difference from this and the "sashimi platter" might be the sweet shrimp and raw scallop. It's a shame that I love raw scallop, because my wallet hurts. Appetizer/sides: Salmon nigiri appetizer on top of that lemon wedge is my go-to when impressing guests. it is such a pleasure to see the show. The miso soup is okay, salad is crunchy but equal measures basic. Deep fried soft shell crab was mid and i had high hopes. Ambience: Again, bright and clean. Good to recommend to people who are visiting, particularly if you're blending casual with class. Their location is also in the heart of a great restaurant plaza. Service is ok -- extremely kind people, but below average at tailoring to your needs. Sometimes feels understaffed. The servers recommend rolls they haven't tried before, which causes snafus. I ask what specific rolls taste like, which ones are personal favorites, and get an ingredient list or "the popular choices." This makes it very discouraging to explore. ROLLS: There are so many options that it's (So Exciting) and a little obscene. (Dislike:) That chopped tuna/salmon purée ingredient on top of the rolls is not my favorite. I'm sorry, but it's terrible. I asked our two servers to omit any rolls or substitute it out, but they didn't know enough to assist me at the time. So I always end up with it in front of me, reluctantly giving it another chance. Despite the lovely descriptions, I'm skipping the "salmon lover," "lady killer," and "what a match." The "salmon/tuna ninja" and "scorpion" are sorta exceptions because the seared fish gives it a wonderful texture. Additionally, the Viagra roll did not meet my hopes and dreams. It was like a rice-and-mushroom stir fry with shrimp and masago. i got tired of the taste. (Liked) "Mafia" and "Osaka Triangle" rolls. Also the "Kevin Bacon" if you wanna try something absolutely chaotic. "Dynamite" for something less crazy. Those have a lot going on. "Flying Dragon" is a fun healthy eel roll. The deep fried rolls -- particularly the cheese-flavored "Hot Stuff" -- are also surprisingly good. read more

This place is amazing. I haven't had sushi this fresh tasting in awhile. We got the sashimi for 4 and the salmon lovers roll. They gave us salads and miso soup to start, then they gave us a beautiful platter of sashimi with relatively large cuts. The salmon lovers roll is to die for. Im drooling as I'm thinking about it now. Need to go back soon. Service was excellent, very attentive although really busy. read more
