    I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen ($18) and it was made in about 15 minutes. The broth was very savory and had good spice to it. The egg was just slightly poached a bit too long, but was braised and seasoned fantastic. The pork was also very delicious, great flavor and texture. The staff were very friendly and the vibes inside was quite good. I really enjoyed my lunch here and would come back again! Food(50%): 8.0 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.8/10

    Start with the interior. It was good and welcoming, and bright. It was dinner time, but there were almost no customers in the restaurant. 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.

    Yaki sushi is a small but great location for solid sushi. I usually judge sushi places by their chirashi bowl and was pleasantly surprised by the balance of fish, the presentation, and freshness of options. The pickles really gave it an extra flavor too. My husband got the tuna set. The cuts on the tuna were okay -- nothing phenomenal but pretty solid for a neighborhood sushi place. The spicy tuna rolls were pretty average but I could appreciate the little bits of cucumber added to the roll. Overall, good destination with solid service. I'd be back if I'm in the area.

    Highly recommend the hamachi jalapeño roll if you want something with a bit of a kick in it. Spicy salmon roll is a classic. Rainbow roll is super photogenic. Scallop nigiri was good, but the scallop could have been a bit more fresh. Impressed by both taste and presentation. Affordable sushi prices, great service, cute interior.

    Dinner was delicious. The service was amazing and friendly. First time here and will be back. You forget you're next to a busy highway and kind of a sketchy shopping center.

    We stopped in around 5PM for dinner. The restaurant was empty but seemed to be clean. The food was mediocre -- not bad, but nothing memorable especially for the price. We felt it was overpriced for the quality/taste. We ordered chicken karagee, hibachi scallops & steak, and hibachi chicken & steak. We would not recommend ordering scallops here. On the plus side, the service was friendly and quick. Everyone we interacted with was also very kid friendly.

    Sushi & sashimi combo

    On a work trip and got to try this spot with friends. It is a beautiful and quaint restaurant, the servers were accommodating (I took forever to order), and the food came out fairly quickly. I ordered the sushi & sashimi combo, toro, and uni. Everything was perfect, until I got to the uni. Maybe I waited too long to eat it, since it was my last piece, but it didn't taste right....almost bad. All in all, I can see why this place is popular and it definitely got busy while we were there. I look forward to another visit.

    The food here is amazing! The ambiance is great! The service was great too. I wish there was an option on the sushi menu to allow the diners to create their own concoctions. In their defense I didn't ask if they would accommodate a diner to create a sushi roll on the fly. 2 thumbs up for this place. We will be back for sure!!

    If you're in the area. I'd check out Yaki Sushi. I've been here twice and the service is always pretty good. Our waters are never empty since they are great about refilling and topping off our beverages. Depending on the day, the wait may be longer for getting your orders out. I was informed that the sushi chefs are spectacular when it comes to attention to detail (ex - they make sure that each piece of fish is cut properly), which may result to waiting in nigiri/sashimi orders; however, the fish seems to be of higher quality. Overall, I recommend Yaki Sushi.

    Pretty good sushi for the price! They also have more than just sushi if sushi isn't what you're feeling! The customer service was great and very attentive. My water was always refilled when I think I didn't need it. The interior decor was also very Instagram worthy for those looking for a fun place to take photos with your meal totemo kawaii desu

    Great prices, high quality sushi! I was hesitant to order takeout from here initially because any place that has food other than sushi (like ramen here), I think it will not be as good. But I was wrong to suspect that! The fish is super fresh, and it has the best prices in the Chantilly/Herndon area I can find. I didn't eat inside but the place looked very comfortable, modern, and well decorated. It said 25 minutes for pickup online, but I got there in 15 and it was ready.

    The food is always amazing every time I come. I have tried everything, from the hibachi to salmon lover. I usually don't like sushi with too much rice but they have the perfect proportion. I love the warm atmosphere inside and it is well decorated. The service is great and the workers have always been so kind. It seems like a good restaurant for families, couples, or friends.

    Yaki Sushi will be my go to place for sushi and ramen as I live very close by. The spot is cozy, inviting, and would be great for date night. At the start, we had a bottle of Wasuremono sake while waiting for our friend to arrive. The chicken Karaage was flavorful, and most importantly crispy. A+ The Tornado Shrimp was yummy. B+ Sushi Deluxe was fresh with a diverse varieties of fish, squid & etc. A The BEST was the Tonkotsu Ramen, it had a smoky pork broth that was slurp worthy for this ramen lover. A++ The service was what you would expect from a respectable Japanese Izakaya. Thank you for the amazing meal and excellent service. We will be back . . . -foodie

    Awesome service by Sabrina and awesome good . Everything…read morecame out hot and very flavorful. Our waitress meet our needs

    Have tried Izakaya Nana, Genki Izakaya and Super Kyuramen and been to Izakayas in Tokyo and Kyoto…read more I love that so many Izakayas have opened in the NoVA area. 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.
