Sushi-Zen — Restaurant in Falls Church

This local restaurant is an amazing place. My fiance and I have tried sushi places everywhere from Norfolk to DC and everywhere in between. But this is the only place that we have returned to more than twice. The selection is awesome, basically, anything that you can think of. The ingredients are always fresh, the rolls are always professionally presented and we have yet to be there on a day where they "just didn't have it." Sushi recommendations: The Sushi-Zen roll and the Super Crunchy roll.

Even though the sushi is why we go, it is hardly the only reason we have stayed. The appetizers are incredible as well. I've had every miso soup and salad combination and even tried to make it myself, but theirs tops them. The edemame is fresh and always hot. And for dessert, you have to try their ice creams. The lavender ice cream is mind blowing.

The service is always top notch, very friendly and quick to offer suggestions. Even though it is a smaller restaurant, we have not had a problem with seating though, after this place is discovered by the masses it probably will be. Until then, we will enjoy the quaint neighborhood atmosphere and...

The service was horrible. Waited 15 minutes by the door to be seen by the waitress. It took another 20 minutes to receive our order, my to go food was wrong when I get home to get my salmon Bento I saw a chicken bento called the Brian manager isn’t helping either. I came in sunday with friend and had to wait 15 mins to get a menu. Meanwhile another family came in and only had to wait 5 mins, AND a menu was offered to two , The only difference between the other customers and myself is that I was in shabby pants and latino. which is funny because money is money and race shouldn’t matter. It’s also ironic because most of the servers are people of color but I guess internalized racism is a thing. Each time the wait staff forgets a component of the order, the food comes after an egregiously long period of time, my friend get charge for a soup that she never get it they forgot to bring during our hour long visit, our water wasn't filled one time. When we asked for refills they...

Ordered a spicy tuna roll and a California roll online. The spicy tuna was not great. Just chopped up tuna with a spicy sauce that tasted more reminiscent of like Korean gochujang on fried squid and nothing else like avocado or cucumber or sesame seeds (I guess that’s my fault for not looking at photos online first). It was also really small for the price. The California roll was better but not much imitation crab especially for the price. The sushi rice itself was good but the fillings need work. Also said it would be a 40 minute wait which seemed really long but figure it was busy. Went inside to pickup after about 30 minutes even though the tracking still said the 40 minute time. There were several bags of to go orders just sitting there. So don’t trust the tracker since I’m not sure they actually update it when the order is ready and ideally sushi shouldn’t be...
