Decided to give them another shot and they apologized for my previous visit. Everything I ordered came out perfectly. I still prefer showing up in the latter half of the lunch service when there's less of a crowd. read more

Rainy days for me always gets me in the mood for ramen. While in Rosslyn, choices are slim, so I tried this place out. I got the Tonkotsu Ramen, which was okay. Seemed very basic and the broth didn't really move me. The char siu in there was not bad either. Maybe I should've got the miso? I also got the fried ice cream, which was good for dessert. Maybe ramen isn't really their strong suit and next time I'll try the sushi. I must say that the service was great. I was greeted immediately and my server was very attentive. read more

If you're looking for a delicious sushi experience in Rosslyn then this is a great place to visit! All of the sushi options were delicious and had a lovely decorative wasabi skull at the head of the sushi boat. Good presentation paired with great service and a cool environment. The sushi and the sashimi were great bites, and the lunch deal for sashimi includes miso soup and salad. It wasn't the best sushi I've ever had, but I can see myself going back when I'm in the area. read more

The 4 stars is with the acknowledgement that this is not an authentically Japanese place (as in, not owned and/or operated by Japanese)- at least as far as I can tell. It's the usual case that Chinese or Koreans run a lot or these spots. We came close to closing time but they were very welcoming. We ended up having two bottles of Hakkaisan sake. The sushi was pretty good. We ordered a la carte and I was very happy they did the Amebi (sweet shrimp)- they gave us the ebi no atama (fried shrimp head). That's definitely a very traditional take on making nigiri the right way, so I was delighted to see this. The hamachi Kama was well received and we were pretty full by the time we left. We sat outside because it was a bit eerie to sit in an empty giant indoor space. The service took it to another level and that's where they stand out. read more

Lunch time rush on a Thursday. It was busy but not packed and got seated quickly. After that service was... shaky. Took quite some time to get menus, and had to request it even though the table seated the same time as us had menus for a while. The waitress was also flustered taking down our four items and never bothered to check on the table once after that. So service was not the good. The sushi rolls were really good. Edamame was not that good and kind of bland. Really enjoyed the salmon sunshine and shrimp tempura! Lots of space inside and cute location with nice outdoor patio. Good for groups! read more

Had the lunch chirashi on my first visit at this sushi restaurant. I got inside at a little after 11 am, right after opening, and was seated quickly. So, the cuts of sashimi are quite large, compared to other sushi places, but the number of cuts is less than my fav chirashi spots. The presentation was nice and I enjoyed the garnishments that came with the chirashi. My biggest gripe would be that I was charged for hot green tea, especially when it was not that great tasting bc of water dilution. The soup and salad before the chirashi was standard. So if I were to come during the lunchtime rush, or even for dinner, I wonder how things would differ. read more

Absolutely amazing Chirashi bowl. The most impressive part about this place was how thick their fish slices were. They do not skimp on the fish at all here. Service was good. Ambience was pretty, but the tables were a tad soiled. Other than that, totally amazing spot. Still giving them 5 stars. read more

Japanese spot with counter, table, and patio seating Menu is pretty straightforward but comprehensive. Prices are fairly high, but not too bad on the lunch menu I came here for lunch and got the udon & sushi combo, which was a lot of food for ~$20. I had to bring the sushi all home with me. Food was great and service was fast read more

Had lunch special sushi deluxe delivered via UberEats. The entree was packed nicely with soy sauce, wasabi, ginger, chopsticks and napkins. Lunch sushi deluxe was 8 pieces of nigiri (2 tuna, 2 salmon, 1 shrimp, 1 yellowtail, and 2 more white fish that I couldn't tell what they were) and 6 pieces of spicy tuna roll. The fish was very fresh and I liked the texture of the rice. I'll try to order a la carte nigiri next time, really prefer other fish like hirame, snapper etc instead of tuna and salmon, would rather chose myself. read more

Surprisingly there aren't many sit down restaurants within short walking distance at an affordable city price for team work lunches by Rosslyn metro. Luckily Yuraku moved in years back as an option. I've been here a few times and had good experiences. This time was no different. I think because it is a little off the beaten path - by like one street - the office workers don't tend to swarm here for lunch. So although Yuraku doesn't have an online reservation system, I never worry about there not being enough seating for team work lunches. While the food for my group didn't all come out at once, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. This time I ordered the Ten Zara Soba which came with miso soup and their version of a salad. It was a tasty and light meal. read more

Ambiance: (5/5) Great restaurant. They have a lot of seating. I didn't feel crammed at all like other restaurants in the area. Price: (4/5) Price is average for the area. Food: (4/5) The beef Goyza was really crispy. Goyza in my experience is usually pork, so keep that in mind when ordering. I got the poke bowl as my main which was very filling. The tuna and salmon seemed fresh. I wish the bowl came with sauces on the side. Service: (5/5) Staff is very nice and food comes out quick. read more

Went to Yuraku last weekend since it is right next to my apartment. I ordered the ramen which was actually super good and not too salty. I also ordered some sushi which I thought was some of the better sushi in Arlington. The place was pretty empty for a Friday night but the server was very attentive and the service was excellent. The general ambiance was very laid back and more on the casual side for a restaurant. read more

Great place to eat for lunch in Rosslyn if you're looking for something a little more upscale. The bento boxes are the perfect option for a quick and filling lunch. The restaurant is large with plenty of seating, as well as outdoor seating. I went on a weekday around 11:30 and the place was pretty empty. Service could have been a bit more attentive considering I was one of 5 customers. I ordered the ton katsu bento box. Each bento comes with an entree, miso soup, salad, two California rolls, a tempura shrimp, a few tempura vegetables, and a shumai dumpling. The ton katsu is crispy and you get a lot of it. The sides are all good, and my personal favorite were the tempura vegetables. The sauces didn't really align with my palette much, sort of just adding a goopy texture to the ton katsu. I will be here again, maybe trying more of their sushi. Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the Rosslyn area that wants to try something different for lunch. read more

Date: Monday Dec.8 Time: Lunch Dish: Yakisoba Vegetable Soup Lots of noodles but veggies were cut cucumbers, with other bits of ? Soup was luke warm and did not have much flavor. It was a bowl of noodles in warm "soup" for $17.95, Not good value for a cold day. Hot tea was barely warm. Did not drink it. Service: OK but I did not get a chance to flag someone to ask for a cup of hot tea. Will NOT return with or without friends / colleagues. What good is ambiance when the food and service don't click. read more

Never knew this place existed. The sashimi and sushi's are so fresh!!! I can't believe I just discovered this place!

Came to eat on a Wednesday night on a whim. The restaurant is in Rosslyn, which is mainly populated during business hours. It can be a ghost town at night for sure. When we came to the restaurant there was only one other table seated. As our meal progressed more and more patrons were seated. We were immediately greeted by the friendly gentlemen at the sushi counter and seated right away. The restaurant is huge an airy, with ample seating. The menu is big, they have a large selection of entree dishes and sushi. I ordered the What a Match and my partner ordered a Firecracker specialty rolls. We also ordered a pineapple shrimp fried rice and a Katsu Kare. We received miso soup and a small salad with our entree, both tasty. THE ROLLS were huge! we only ordered an entree because we thought we were getting tiny rolls like you can find at many places here in the DMV. Both rolls were so good! We only had a little bite of each of the entrees due to being full from the rolls. The next day both were still excellent. We can't wait to come back and to try more of their food. I want to come during lunch to be able to order their bento box! The servers were so friendly, the restaurant was very clean, and the food came out fast! this place might just be my new sushi place. read more

The service was decent. Nothing spectacular about the place. The sushi was good, nice variety. I had spicy tuna and salmon rolls. Was meeting a friend for a light dinner and the ambiance was adequate for a nice informal date night or one-on-one meeting. Not an impressive place just nice. read more

We came here on a Friday night for a double date. Although we had reservations, the restaurant wasn't as busy as we expected, and the restaurant is quite large. We ordered the small sashimi and sushi platter, along with drinks. Even as a group of four with healthy appetites, we couldn't finish it all. The food was incredibly fresh, the staff attentive, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Note that parking is street-only, so plan accordingly. read more

Started off with their Takoyaki and Fried Octopus. Both were just ok, nothing really special. For my entree I go their daily special, the Omakase Donburi. There was a wide variety of different fishes and all of them tasted great! Definitely come here for the sushi. read more

Been here twice & had a good experience both times. I've tried the "spice girl", "Philadelphia roll", and "spicy california roll". I'd say the spicy girl was my favorite and what I'd come back for again. It's also larger in comparison to the other two mentioned above. The Philadelphia and spicy california were good, but nothing special. Will be coming back to try their unique rolls again! read more

Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. From the start, our waitress was inattentive and seemed unhappy to be serving us. This kind of treatment seems to happen more often with parties larger than five, likely because the restaurant adds an automatic 20% gratuity, removing any motivation for staff to offer quality service. Throughout our meal, the server never once checked in to see if we needed anything. When we finished eating, she brought the check without even asking if we were interested in dessert. Just a few minutes after 9:00 PM, she told us the restaurant was already closed and began clearing the table by loudly clanking plates and glasses onto her cart, creating an uncomfortable and rushed atmosphere. When we pointed out that there were still other guests sitting and eating, she almost shouted, "They are still eating!" in the middle of the restaurant. I won't be back and can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

One star for the food being okay - but unfortunately, the service completely ruined our evening!!! We came as a group of six around 6:30 pm. From the beginning, our server was visibly unhappy and dismissive. She never once checked in to see if we needed anything, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. When we finished eating around 8:30 pm, she came over abruptly to drop the check without asking if we wanted dessert or tea. When we requested them, she acted as though it slipped her mind. By 9:05 pm, while other tables were still dining, she returned and told us they were closing , clearly asking us to leave. One of my friends politely mentioned that there were still others eating, and the server became visibly angry, raised her voice, and was shockingly rude. I've never experienced anything like it. We left feeling extremely disrespected. For a place that charges a 20% tip, the attitude and service were unacceptable. We will never return, and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting a welcoming or professional dining experience. read more

Overall, 4.5/5 but will give it a 5/5 because of the good quality sushi. While the quality here is one of the best in the area (big and generous cuts of fish that isn't overwhelmed by too much rice), it's really expensive even with 20% off appetizers during happy hour. I'm glad my friend and I stopped by for dinner yesterday to give it a try, but Yuraku is definitely not a typical dinner out I'd always be willing to pay for. Even the regular sushi rolls here (like salmon or tuna) are $8-9 per roll. SUSHI APPETIZER (5 PCS.) - 13.95 Since we went during happy hour, it was $11.16 for 5 pieces of nigiri (the basics: tuna, yellowtail, salmon, red snapper, and shrimp) which isn't a bad price. I was impressed by how big and thick each piece of fish was and it was so fresh! I'm usually not a fan of tuna at most sushi restaurants but I felt like the tuna here was good! The salmon was super fatty and amazing! The yellowtail and red snapper were good but don't remember it too much I felt like the shrimp was too thin and didn't have much flavor. At happy hour pricing, I'd definitely recommend ordering at least one of these! SEARED SALMON BELLY (4 PCS.) - 13.95 This is a bit pricy but definitely four very delicious bites. The seared salmon belly was smoky and fatty, and the touch of guacamole was super creamy and I liked the flavor combination - definitely not something I would have thought of myself so I like how unique it is. The crunchy rice mixed in was also a nice touch. If you're looking to splurge a bit, I'd recommend giving the seared salmon belly a try. After tax and tip, I paid around $32 for my meal. I was still hungry afterwards, but the quality cuts of fish here is worth the splurge once a while. I'd probably stick to cheaper sushi in the area for the most part though. read more

I was happy to hear that the Maryland stape Yuraku came down to Virginia. For background, Yuraku was a place in MD that use to have a buffet but is also known for its endless pages of rolls of all sort. The ambiance here is a bit different as you see more dine-in customers. The chirashi and udon were both solid -- nothing out of the ordinary but solid enough that it could sustain itself as a nice local sushi joint. But only concern is how it'll separate itself from its competitors given that it's in a half mile radius of many larger and hoppin' sushi places. But all in all, the ambiance is nice and the place is central enough for a walk from Georgetown or all the Arlington locals. read more

The service was OK, and sitting outside was pleasant enough. HOWEVER, my sushi wasn't any of that. I ordered their Deluxe Sushi Assortment. That was 10 rather substantial pieces of Nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. The problem was that too much wasabi was sandwiched between the fish pieces and rice. It made the pieces barely edible, and about the only thing I could taste was the wasabi. I didn't want to return my plate because I was with a large group. I tried disassembling each piece and scraping off what wasabi I could, but too much had worked its way into the rice. If I were ever to go back here, I would request that they use a lighter hand when assembling the meal. You should keep that in mind if you try this place. read more

Yuraku is your typical sushi joint. We came here for dinner, I got the rainbow roll which was good but nothing spectacular.

Is this the best sushi lunch in Arlington? Is their sashimi platter the best lunchtime bargain in Rosslyn? I'm going out on a limb and I'm saying YES! Yuraku has been my go-to sushi destination at least twice a month since 2023. I have enjoyed their sashimi platter, the donburi, the poke salad and the Chirashi, all incredible lunch specials that you need to try. read more

I ordered Uber eats priority (a must when you get sushi & fried food) delivery and it was delicious! Everything was fresh and of quality ingredients. I ordered the fried oysters which reminded me of an oyster version of Wendy's chicken nugget. It was quite tasty. I also got the miso soup, seaweed salad, and the sushi & sashimi platter. On the pricier side, but most likely because it's very fresh and they offer a decent portion size. I would order from this spot again! read more

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much when I saw Yuraku open up in this little corner of the Turnberry tower. But after seeing people here pretty much every night since it opened, I thought I'd give it a try, and let's just say I was NOT disappointed! All of the previous yelp reviewers were right--Yuraka gives A LOT of fish. For two, we ordered the seared salmon belly special (which is 4 pieces of lightly burnt salmon belly that just melts in your mouth!), the toro belly daily special roll (the fatty tuna belly was amazing!) and the Salmon Ninja. We were blown away by how thick the pieces of sushi were on each roll; and the fact that they have sushi both inside and on top of the rolls was a double banger! I'm actually concerned that I came here because it might become my go-to spot in the area, and it is WAY too convenient for me. But honestly, if you are craving some sushi, Yuraku is a solid spot to go to! read more

Food was great but the service was a bit slow despite it not being terribly busy; we waited a while before the waitress approached our table and got water. Ambiance was casual but great for a date night and not noisy; we sat outside in their private patio during a nice evening which was a plus. We got their sashimi regular, two of their special rolls (Lady Killer and Fatty Toro Roll) and their salmon tataki. Although a bit expensive, the quality was worth the price as the fish was fresh, especially the sashimi salmon. We both really enjoyed the Lady Killer, the salmon belly on top took the flavor to another level. The fatty toro roll also tasted terrific but nothing really special. The salmon tataki was great, although not worth the slightly high price. Overall would come back here to try their other rolls and would bring others to try as well. read more
