Sushi Station
Mia E.

Popped into this little Japanese spot for a quick dinner. We were a few strip malls away at Jammin Java and had a few hours to kill before the head liner. Small dining area full of locals. I absolutely know why. We were seated immediately in spite of the crowd. Near the sushi bar. Huge menu. A vast array of sushi selections and Japanese dishes. We got sushi of course (not pictured). Fresh and delicious. Lots of wasabi and pickled ginger. Then we had the spring rolls. So hot and crunchy. Packed with shrimp but not filling. GET THESE! We also had the traditional soup and salad (traditional) My dinner date lived in Japan a few years and confirmed that his Yakisoba was authentically prepared. I tasted his and it was delicious. Packed with veggies and tons of protein. My fried rice was awesome. Served piled high in a little wok. Portions were incredible. Seriously, enough for lunch the next day. They didn't have a bar but do have a good bar selection menu with mixed drinks and Japanese Beer. I had Kirin and it was ice cold and satisfying. All in all, if you're in the area, shopping or looking for a great dining experience try Sweet Ginger. Good Eats!

I came here last night to satisfy my sushi cravings, and as usual, the sushi was amazing. I'm never let down! We had Alaska Roll, Yellowtail roll, and some of their specialities menu incl, beauty and the beast roll (eel), pacific roll and rainbow roll. I'm not sure what's changed, though, because the last time we were here, they said we only got the free miso soup or salad if we spent at least 30 PP, and we definitely spent less than that. Maybe they saw my last comments and decided to switch things up, LOL. Again, sushi was GREAT as ALWAYS.

Second time coming here and it's damn good. When you really don't wanna think or truly care about the quality and just need a hardy meal that will taste good... this is the place. Their pad thai with grilled steak is supa good, lot of noodle and a good steak amount. Got their Mexican roll which was really good as well and then the bento box is never a miss. Sushi is fresh, service is good, honestly no complaints. Don't expect the highest quality or the greatest environment, it's a causal dining spot so enjoy the vibes and the good food. It's usually packed but didn't need to wait for a table. Good place, good food, no complaints.

I love coming to this small & cozy sushi spot. This is my go to place for rolls and the service here is always great. They are extremely accommodating and you're in and out in no time. I always leave satisfied

Toro

This by far is my favorite sushi place in the DMV. Their quality has always been the same and you can count on them to be consistent. The service here is good. They are attentive and keep your drinks filled. The sushi here is really good. I came here with a few friends and we ordered a bunch of sushi. We started off with a Miso soup and salad for each person. For the sushi, we started with with toro sashimi and salmon sushi. The toro was perfect! The interior seating is spacious. The booths fit 4 people while their tables fit more. We then moved on to the boat where we ordered the volcano roll, wasabi cream roll, omega roll, eel avocado, spicy toro roll, mexican roll, and more. I recommend their spicy mayo on the side and fresh wasabi. With these two items people tend to forget, it makes the experience even better. I highly recommend these folks if you're in the mood for sushi.

Came here for dinner, my boyfriend and I ordered the Omega-3, Mexican, Pacific and Crab Roll. This is the first time I've been to a restaurant where we ordered 4 different sushi rolls, and yet it all taste the same. The same sauce were used on all of the rolls. Very unimpressed! Our server, Goong, was absolutely unprofessional and unapologetic to her mistake. A person at our party ordered Thai Curry with vegetables. Our server then asked her if she wanted it with tofu. The person at our party answered, sure I'll have tofu. When the entree came out, the server dropped down a Thai Basil Tofu dish, which clearly not what she ordered. She bought it up to the server attention, the server then just shrugged it off and asked her if she could eat it. Everyone at the table heard our guest at the table order curry, so when we started looking over, the server just got quiet. No apologies. The person at our party just sucked it up and ate it, even though the right thing to do at that point is for the server to get her the dish that she ordered. Never once apologize!! Also during the beginning of our meal, our server Goong asked if it's going to be separate check or together. We told her separate. Throughout the time of ordering, we again explained to her who is on what check. At the end of the meal she brings out one check. We look at her in surprise and told her it was separate like we had mentioned. Then she just goes and shrugged it off like she doesn't know anything. Absolutely RIDICULOUS! She should not be treating customers the way she does and own up to her mistakes instead of trying to play it off like she doesn't know or understand what is going on. Absolutely horrible service and food is ok, not worth coming to.

Bento Box A (sticky rice, tempura shrimp & veggies, tofu, Japanese dumpling, beef teriyaki, wasabi paste, California rolls, shaved ginger)
Missy D.

Treated my cousin to Sweet Ginger for his birthday and we were both amazed by the quality and quantity of food we received for the price paid. We made it easy for our patient and attentive waiter by ordering two Thai iced tea and the Bento Box A with beef teriyaki. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection. Starting with the Thai iced tea; which was almost like a dessert. So smooth and sweet! It complimented the meal. The miso soup was comforting and had a balanced ratio of broth, tofu, greens, and green onion. The salad was fresh, crisp, and dressed with a rich and tasty peanut dressing. Of course, the highlight of our meal was the incredible bento boxes. The tempura shrimp and vegetables were my favorite. They were breaded to ideal crispiness and paired well with the soy dipping sauce. The vegetables were one big broccoli floret and large sliced carrot and zucchini medallions. The teriyaki steak was scrumptious, served on a bed of cabbage slaw with a generous amount of sauce. There was enough for me to dip other box components into, like the California rolls, tofu, and the Japanese dumpling. We dusted off everything. Not even the leftover salad dressing remained because we drank it all up! The whole experience was so much fun and we had a blast. Can't wait to go back. We left feeling satisfied and can add this to our list of happy memories!

Food was tasty, had the steak lomein and shrimp appetizer. The apple sake was very good, would have again. Service was good. Seems to be a popular spot, place filled up while we were there. Great that they have plenty of seating.

I was looking for sushi places to eat and this place caught my attention with their pictures. My friend wanted to try it out so I went. When walking in, it is a bit dark and the design is a bit eclectic. It seemed like the restaurant was a bit understaffed and wait times were a bit on the slower side. I ordered 1 order of toro sushi, shrimp & vegetable tempura, and the chirashi bowl. The toro seemed a bit fishy and not fresh which had me nervous for the chirashi. The tempura was good and crunchy but there was too much breading on both the shrimp and the vegetables. Additionally, the sauce that they provided had no flavor so I opted to dip it in my soy sauce instead. My friend ordered the duck roll and she said it was good. Before the chirashi bowl, I was not really enjoying the meal but the chirashi bowl is what bumped it up to a 3 star review. The chirashi bowl was good and had fresh ingredients. I wish the vegetables didn't take up 1/4th of the bowl but overall the flavors were phenomenal. I gave this place overall a 3/5 stars because there are so many sushi restaurants in the area and this place is relatively average. COVID-wise: staff was wearing masks but tables may not be more than 6ft apart.

Got beef noodle soup, cucumber salad, shrimp dumplings & sesame balls. The cucumber salad was the star!, with the beef noodle biggest miss (too salty, tastes like soy sauce broth). Sesame balls were addictive, even hubs liked and he's not big on Asian sweets. Friendly service, fun eatery for easy dinner.

It's now called Bing Bing's Dumplings. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS…read more We left there wishing we had room to try more things, and are already figuring out how to come back even though we live a couple hours away. The fried beef bao were highly flavored, included some cellophane noodles in them, and had plenty of delicious liquefied fat inside, kind of like a soup dumpling. We also had the steamed shrimp dumplings, which were the perfect mochi-gummy texture, and actually tasted like shrimp. For dessert we shared the fried sesame balls, which were correctly fried---nice and light and crispy outside. The sesame paste filling had a clear flavor which was separate from the taste of the outside. It's a tiny place, only about 15 or so chairs inside, and 2 outside. No frills. (None needed!) You help yourself to chopsticks, utensils, hot sauce, and paper plates. The plates come out one by one as they're ready.

Although the food may use higher-quality ingredients, everything was served in disposable paper bowls with plastic utensils, which made it feel more like a takeout restaurant than a sit-down dining experience. For a restaurant promoting health and quality, serving hot food in paper bowls and using plastic throughout felt contradictory. The portions were also on the smaller side, and the prices were the highest I've seen at any pho restaurant. While I appreciate the focus on ingredient quality, the overall value just wasn't there for us. We left feeling underwhelmed given the cost and presentation.

I got the beef combination pho and enjoyed all the different cuts of beef, especially the oxtail, so tender and flavorful. I grabbed oyster sauce and siracha but did not use it because the broth was seasoned SO WELL. I plan to come back soon for the oxtail bahn mi! This location recently changed their interior and now has plenty of seating inside. It is always clean and service is always swift and friendly. Don't worry about coming here when it is too hot outside because the AC is strong too. The mango sago dessert was not my favorite, texture was a little too slippery for me. However I did enjoy the coconutty/tart flavor and the oats in the bottom!

Although out of our way, we made the treck back to Viet Aroma a small Vietnamese restaurant. Three years working in VN and a lot of great food memories makes their food a favorite!

I got the chicken satay, and it was reaaaally good! Only 2 pieces but they were really big ones. The peanut sauce was less thick than most places but it's probably one of my favorites I've had. I LOVE the lunchbox meal options! It's a good way to get a somewhat healthy balanced meal with a protein, some jasmine rice, a salad, and a spring roll with peanut sauce all in one without having to order everything separately for 5x as much. I chose the triple ginger box with chicken, and shrimp for the spring roll choice. It was amazing and good portion sizes!

I was scrolling through the items and i gave their mango roll a chance, classic salmon avocado & the Bethesda. The fish was that chewy awful texture, which was already a red flag for me, but what ended up absolutely ruining every single roll was the fact they used an avocado that wasn't ripe yet. Avocado in every single roll, so basically they were all horrible. What kind of sushi place would add unripe avocados to their rolls? It's not like avocados are cheap, those little f***ers are a big reason why sushi is expensive, I would hope they are at least edible. I am so angry I just spent so much money for not even ONE roll to be edible, and not just the money, took them close to 40 minutes to get here, now everything else is closed and we are stuck with this. I've never been to the actual location, so I can't speak on the ambiance, but I image they are just as careless. Quality of the ingredients wasn't good, carelessness to use unripe avocados, and just the fact that I spent so much to eat nothing, really upset me. I'm just very disappointed, won't be ordering from this place again. Not sure how they have so many locations. Please work on the quality. We'll see what they do with their customer service...
