I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the takeout order I purchased today. I have been a customer before, and in the past, your meals were always satisfying and filling. However, today's experience was completely different. The portion sizes have clearly been reduced drastically. After finishing the entire meal, I was still so hungry that I had to cook extra food at home just to full myself up. While I noticed that your prices haven't increased, I would have honestly preferred to pay a higher price for the original quality and quantity, rather than receiving such a severely cut-down meal. In particular, the portion of the sashimi was completely unacceptable and unreasonable. Unfortunately, due to this experience, I will not be returning to your restaurant. Sincerely read more

I wanted to try this spot because someone said it's Ariake level but cheaper. Ariake is my fave sushi restaurant in the world so it's my standard. Unfortunately this place did not meet expectations. We tried a bunch of different nigiri and while they are a bit cheaper than ariake (price per piece) it's more hit or miss. And the rice was very al-dente, which was disappointing - it didn't seem like they used sushi rice?? The fatty pieces of fish were good (fatty salmon, yellowtail belly, etc) but the regular pieces were okay. They didn't have amberjack nor the squid karaage when we went so we were disappointed. The agedashi tofu was not as light/crispy as I expected. Overall this spot is a miss for me. Id still rather go to ariake. read more

Just want to remind everyone that the restaurant changed hands. Last time I ate here the quality of the fish had diminished drastically.

This is exclusively where I get my sushi from, this is the best sushi in town and maybe ever... I would try to compare it to other sushi, restaurants such as Nobu... But there is no comparison. read more

I'm surprised I haven't wrote a review for here yet as I've been coming occassionally for years now! it's a small restaurant that offers fresh fish! I had heard the rolls are not that great but to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of rolls anyways. Come here for the chirashi, I especially love th sanshoku so I can just choose my favorite fish (usually do double salmon, one white tuna but their ikura is also pretty good). The rice is seasoned and comes with lots of toppings and although there has been some times where the quality goes up and down over the years, the past few visits this year the salmon and white tuna were very good quality! Thick cut, sweet, not fishy at all, buttery. Service is nice and speedy. read more

Service decent, place is small but fortunately a lot of take out orders so they are not eating in. The food is fairly japanese in style, decently done but pretty standard - no flaws, but not exciting. Given that I have only ordered sushi and later on heard the sashimi/chirashi were the things to order, I will try again. Overall, it's decent. It took a while for the food to come even in a half empty place cause the take out orders are enormous. Most people get rolls and you are set within 20/person. I am not into rolls but sushi prices are on par with the rest. read more

I will try this place again sushi was good and service was excellent nice cozy atmosphere Definitely coming back read more

Wooooow...Love this hidden gem sushi spot in Vienna! I've been walking past it for years--especially since I often take my dog to the spa next door--but for some reason, I only tried it the other day. And I wasn't disappointed! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. We're already looking forward to our next visit. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--the interactions between the staff, owner, and guests felt so warm and familiar. Definitely recommend this place, and the uni was the absolute winner... all without breaking the bank! read more

Prompt, friendly and competent service. The food was good but not as good as in previous visits. The outside dining area is great!

We've been coming here over the years, and it's great to see that nothing has changed. Parking is tricky, but we came on a Sunday evening and had no issues finding a spot right behind the restaurant. We had also made a reservation since the restaurant is small, but it ended up not being necessary as the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. Service was attentive and we ordered two separate times because we enjoyed our rolls so much. The rolls came out timely and were fresh and/or hot depending on what we got. The standouts for us were the two specialty rolls we ordered - the Moises Roll and the Sushi Yoshi roll. We will definitely be back soon as we continue to have a great experience here. read more

Awesome old school sushi spot in Vienna. I used to come here all the time 8-10 years ago and it has not changed. The sushi and combos are great! We dined in recently and had the poke moon appetizer and the agedashi tofu and we loved all of it. Our 2yo daughter actually ate the whole poke appetizer and half the tofu. I rarely receive the agedashi tofu crispy but theirs was perfect! Still had a nice crispy layer! The sushi was also awesome. Our daughter ate half of what we ordered and we had to order more! The uni was pretty good but the hamachi sushi was amazing! Super buttery and delicious. Great place for lunch or dinner! read more

Went on Friday around 1:30pm and was shocked to find the place completely empty! I hadn't been there in years so I had assumed they would be packed with lines like it had been several years ago. But nope, completely empty! And now I know why~ I had terrible diarrhea and stomach pains at night after the chirashi. I noticed when I got the food that the rice and other items with the rice (radish, seaweed, etc) were not that fresh ~ the rice was very stale and old. The sashimi didn't look that good either and the tuna particularly felt really weird when I ate it ~ like it was very dry and stale. It didn't taste like it was rotten but it was definitely not fresh or quality pieces of fish, so I just told myself I need to find another sushi place. But then at night the stomach pains came and I spent an hour in the bathroom with awful cramps and diarrhea. Since that was my only meal besides the eggs and toast I had at home (same eggs and toast I usually eat), sushi yoshi chirashi was the culprit. Now I completely understand why the place was totally empty at lunchtime on a friday. This is definitely not the same place that used to serve quality fish and where reservations were a must. It has obviously gone downhill and the empty restaurant shows that many have figured that out already. Unfortunately my stomach had to suffer for me to learn that. I should've read the recent reviews before I went~ looking more closely after the fact I see more similar experiences to mine where the reviewer got sick from bad sushi. read more

Cute little place with great service! We started with miso soup and had a variety of rolls. The lasagna roll was tasty and crunchy! Salmon sashimi was fresh and delicious. Every roll we tried was so tasty and fresh! We are going back to try more. They have outdoor seating. Must try! read more

Came for lunch and loved the atmosphere. Very cozy and cute. Ordered a tempura udon and California roll and ikura. The rolls were very good and fresh. The tempura and sauce was perfect. But the udon was a little disappointing. I was definitely expecting more than broth and udon. read more

Chirashi lunch was the bomb. Great quality AND quantity. We asked to not have mackerel and they happily obliged w more tuna. Great salad and soup as starters too. They are best in the area as we tried dozens of sushi places. Reservations recommended as it's normally packed but not today , Fri 1:30. Great service too. read more

Parking is tricky if you come here on a busy day, however they have a small parking lot next to the building with street parking but there is also a parking garage close by. all the rolls were super yummy with the perfect portion of rice to fish/toppings.

Honestly had a below mid experience here. Firstly, it's really hard to find parking here as the lot behind the restaurant is very small. That would've been fine if the restaurant was a good time Gonna start with the service, which was quite slow. It took us over 30 minutes and maybe 45 to get our sushi. With regards to the sushi itself, it might have been the most disappointing. We ordered 9 rolls including one specialty roll. A couple of them were good, but most of the sushi was either average or just straight up not good. The Edwin roll, which was the specialty roll we got, was particularly bad. The food isn't expensive, which is fine I guess. read more

Japanese dishes at this establishment were very good when we dined here before, though it seems that the overall quality has changed over the years.

While seating options are somewhat limited both inside and outside, the service was friendly and accommodating. read more

FOOD - Roll Combo - Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and California - Chirashi Lunch - Church St. Roll - avocado and cream cheese with smoked salmon, avocado, mango, and mango sauce on top The roll combo is pretty basic. It really just tastes like any ordinary sushi, but I would say that the price and the amount are really worth it. For the Chirashi Lunch, the fish was fresh and not overly seasoned which gave it a nice flavor. The presentation was also top-notch. The Church St. Roll was actually amazing. I've never really had sushi with mango, but I think the mango sauce with the mango and cream cheese made a good sort of tangy flavor that was really unique. Overall, the price of the food for the quality of ingredients and amount are totally worth it. VIBES So, funny story, the A.C. was not working so most of the seating was outside. It was alright at the beginning but as time went on it got a lot more irritating. So basically, I can't really base this rating on a situation so I will just note that currently, their A.C. is in the works. SERVICE Service was relatively fast. There was 1 server helping 4-5 tables outside. Food was served in a prompt manner and we got in and out pretty fast. read more

Authentic Japanese design, paintings, food and amazing pricing. Service is always great and polite, amazing spot for any time and day.

Love the sushi. Service is great. Location very convenient but parking may be problematic at times.

Sushi Yoshi has been a family favorite for years.  It is a small space but also is great for take-out.  There are several dishes we like so much that it is hard to expand out and try other things, but, the dishes we love are so full of flavor, it is very hard to pass them by.  That's why we were so alarmed when we went last weekend and noticed two of our favorites were no longer on the menu.  Thankfully, they will still make them for you and are kind of "secret items" for longtime customers.  The first is the sushi rice crepe.  The fish is fresh and the combo of sauces is really good.  I have to admit that I often dump rice in the remaining sauce so I don't leave any behind.  The second is the yellow tail jaw.  If you have never had fish jaw, you will be surprised at how much and how tender the fish in that cut is. It comes with a sauce and accompaniments, but, even on its own, it is just so delicious.  Don't be embarrassed to really tear it apart because there are yummy morsels to be had hiding in all those nooks and crannies.  We also really like the spicy tuna salad.  The seaweed salad was a little disappointing this last visit.  It less seaweed salad on top of more lettuce than we expected.  The gyoza are also good.  The staff at Sushi Yoshi is very attentive and helpful (especially when they are letting you know that your favorite entrees can still be ordered!)  Parking can be a little tricky as the lot behind the restaurant is small.  However, there is street parking. read more

I am sick as I write this. This was some of the worst sushi I have ever had. All of the fish tastiest rancid and extremely fishy. This included the tuna, the shrimp, and the smoked salmon. Rolls were completely unbalanced, salty, mushy and tasted old. I make sushi myself and have been to Japan this is NOT how fish should taste. Also, we were sat at the table by the door, in front of the host stand for some reason. So cold and uncomfortable. Not sure why the place was packed. I saw a couple walk out after being seated, before they got their food. They were smarter than us. Now I know why it was inexpensive compared to other sushi in the area. read more

This is a LONG overdue review of one of my favorite sushi restaurants-- ever. I'm a sashimi snob and have been to some of the best sushi restaurants in LA/SF/DC/NYC and around the world. I've had omakase in all those cities and have eaten at the fanciest as well as the worst. Sushi Yoshi is unparalleled in its value for the quality fish, food and service. You will not find a place more reasonably priced than Sushi Yoshi. Of course the fish and cuts are not what you'd expect at Nobu; but it's REALLY good. The fish is fresh and the portions are big!! It also serves the BEST hamachi Kama you will ever eat anywhere. Hands down the best. The meat is thick and not overly greasy like other places (that usually serves a very think piece of the collar.) The chef and owner Mark is also extremely personable and generous with his portions. You can trust him to use great quality ingredients and fish directly flown from Japan. My family ordered from Sushi Yoshi at least once a week during COVID. They stayed open all throughout the pandemic! In fact, we often had to wait for 15-20 min to place an order on the phone because they were so busy and popular! We still order almost every three weeks or so (whenever I visit my sister's.) And I eat two orders of chirashi sashimi by myself! (Without the rice) All in all, I'd highly recommend trying Sushi Yoshi if you haven't yet. It's a gem in Vienna! read more

I ordered food for pick-up here at the height of the pandemic in 2020 and it was the perfect sushi meal! I ordered a sushi combo bento box which came with california rolls, fresh sushi, salmon terriyaki, and miso soup for a little over $25. It was so much food so it lasted me at least two meals. They have other options such as udon noodles, tempura, katsu, and sashimi, that you're easily able to find something that you'd like to fulfill your cravings. The food was so fresh and simple. The only downside was the wait. I waited at least twenty minutes after getting to the store for my food to be ready. But it was a Sunday evening during the pandemic so it was very busy. I'd love to go in-person some time to see how it is! read more

Sushi Yoshi - Sushi combo bento box with salmon terriyaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Decent, inexpensive sushi, and very crowded on a Friday night! My friend and I had to wait a bit before we got seated, but a reservation was not needed and we were able to sit at the sushi bar. The atmosphere was nice - its a charming restuarant, just cramped inside. The doorway needs some revamping as it was tight and difficult for the waitstaff and customers to maneuver. There's outdoor seating as well. The sushi was tasty, but standard. Good for the price, but nothing to write home about. I really liked the salmon & avocado rolls, though! Service was nice. Probably would not come back, as finding parking was quite difficult. read more

A solid place for sushi. It is a small place but the place had a good vibe and was not that crowded on a Wednesday night so it was easy to get a table with great service. I got miso soup and it was just ok. I also got a salmon and California roll and they were great. The parking situation can be tricky with all the cars and street parking. I would recommend this place if you want sushi and in the general area. read more

DoorDashed here. Got their deluxe chirashi. Overall? The fish could have been fresher. The Japanese side dishes were a bit fishy. The mackerel was fishy (fishier than others I guess?). The chirashi here isn't cheap, and the amount you get isn't that great. I think I'll pass next time. Had high hopes too - ordered to celebrate my wife giving birth and being able to eat sushi safely...a bit disappointed. Oh well. 3/5. Maybe dining inside is better read more

Wow I didn't realize how much I loved this place! We came here a while back for their happy hour deals, but this time we got their chirashi lunch deal. It's about $13-14 and it is so worth it! It comes with an order of miso soup and a side salad with ginger dressing. The rice and raw fish are packaged separately for the chirashi lunch. The rice has various pickled vegetables and garnishes to add flavor to the rice. The raw fish came with an assortment of salmon, tuna, and squid. Even though this order was take out, it was still presented beautifully; we were impressed! All of the raw fish was so fresh and their cuts are so generous. The order even came with all the utensils and sauces that we needed. We called right when they opened at 11:30am to place the order and it was ready in 30 mins. Due to the pandemic, their restaurant is not open and they are doing pick-up at a table in the front of their restaurant. They even have containers to differentiate between used and not used pens. If you are looking for a quality, but cheap lunch deal for what it's worth, definitely come here! You won't be disappointed! read more

A cute local sushi restaurant with a good lunch special?! What more could a guy ask for! We came here on a sunny Friday for lunch. The restaurant is small and charming inside. We tried the Agedashi Tofu, Sashimi Lunch, and the Sushi Lunch. The Agedashi Tofu was hot and freshly fried, and the sauce was light and not too salty. The cuts of fish were fresh and the pieces of fish had a nice marble and a buttery texture to them. I definitely plan to come back here when I'm visiting home and craving good sashimi. read more

Sushi Yoshi - Vienna Roll* - Sushi Bars Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I have heard many claims of other sushi restaurants being the best in the area. Sushi Yoshi however is the best sushi restaurant in Vienna (and Tyson's). I am making this claim leveraging several different judgement processes. 1. Quality - of the sushi restaurants I have been to in the area, which should be all of them Sushi Yoshi and Kizuna reign supreme. I am giving Sushi Yoshi the edge since they include more premium fish in their standard offerings and the rice is not overly seasoned. However, for both of these restaurants the actual fish and rice have a superior flavor and texture. 2. Value for money - this is where Sushi Yoshi truly sets it's self apart from from the others. They are firmly in the middle of the price range. Not as expensive as Kizuna but not as cheap as a Sweet Ginger. Using the Chrashi as a benchmark (my go to dish) Sushi Yoshi provides the greatest variety, most premium ingredients, and greatest quantity. I am a ~175lbs (+pandemic weight) guy and I regularly cannot finish the Young's Chirashi deluxe. The regular Chirashi also follows the same variety and quantity trend just with a mix more heavily weighted to basic ingredients. 3. Authenticity - They do have many other non sushi dishes that you might see in an izakaya. The food is good, but this like most other Japanese restaurants focuses on sushi. If you really need authenticity you may need to travel to Japan. Notes on improvements for the restaurant - other competitors in the area have better (real) wasabi. Kizuna and Takohashi in Arlington come to mind. It would be a great addition. Great restaurant. Bon appetit. read more
