Yamachen's Sushi

We ducked in here on a rainy night to try a new sushi place. It was a really nice surprise! Food (5/5): Delicious freshly made sushi. The sushi was just amazing. The Philly roll was a steal at $7. The beef avocado roll wasn't inside out (seaweed outside) so it was a bit odd. Service (5/5): The service was great! We got complementary edamame and spring rolls to try. The server was really nice. Ambiance (5/5): This place was so beautiful and nicely decorated. Even though it wasn't crowded on a Tuesday night, it had a nice feel to it.

Free edimame appetizer, free dessert, free spring roles, plus the best food and service around, you won't find better anywhere!

My son wanted sushi after his graduation so we decided on sushi! As soon as you walk in the decor is captivating, A beautiful reflection of Japanese art. Our server was so sweet and very attentive. We were offered complimentary edamame. We came in during lunch hours and they do offer a pretty good lunch special. We ended up ordering the crab salad, rainbow roll, California roll, sweet potato roll, and shrimp tempura roll. The crab salad was alright, I wish there were other elements to it. It was just shredded crab with spicy mayo over. Our sushi did come out in a timely manner and it was delicious! They also offered complimentary egg rolls and little cheesecake desserts. This made my son so happy. I really enjoyed my experience here and would visit again.

I ordered takeout from this place about 20 min before closing. There was NOBODY dining in the restaurant. Still I was greeted immediately by a server that took my order and brought me my food in a prompt manner. I was very impressed when I got home and opened my takeout bag.. the attention to detail from the quality of the cup for my drink to the bag for the chopsticks with a napkin inside.. very pleasant experience and the food was delicious! They are my new favorite sushi spot.

This place was so inviting and the decor was an eye catcher. The booths were very comfortable to sit at, as well as nice material. The server was amazing, the most welcoming and sweet encounter. However, I feel like quality of the food did not match. I want this place to succeed and am hoping for the following descriptions to be taken as advice to enhance the food/experience. We ordered the miso soup which tasted a little bland and unsavory. We also ordered the salad that had a great dressing, however the greens had a dirt like flavor to them. The green tea tasted like burnt water and the spring rolls had a great crunch but the inside was mushy. I will say that the fried gyoza/potstickers were flavorful and had a crispy outside. And the sushi was the most loved out of everything we ordered. The sushi rolls we ordered were the King Crab 7/10, Spicy California Roll 8/10, Shrimp Tempura 7/10, and the Lover 6/10. This place definitely has the potential to be a top sushi spot.

My family and I came to Yamachen's close to 9 tonight. The restaurant is very pretty, featuring Asian decorations. We were seated at a large booth. The menu offered a large variety of different rolls, including several different types of combos, as well as sashimi combos and hot entrees. We ordered 2 special combos, featuring the dragon, earthquake, Christmas tree, and king crab rolls. The dragon roll was your classic dragon roll - eel and avocado, always a delicious option. The earthquake roll contained salmon, avocado, and real crab. The Christmas tree roll was very unique - a spicy tuna avocado roll with 3 pieces of tuna sashimi and seaweed salad on top. The king crab roll featured shrimp tempura and real crab wrapped in soy paper. Overall, the rolls were yummy but also very saucy. My parents loved them but I thought the sauce was a bit much, the sushi tasted almost creamy.Our waiter was super patient with us and super kind. We were given edamame, spring rolls, and mini cheesecakes on the house. We will likely be coming again!

Shocked that this place isn't more crowded on a weekend evening. The decor was bright and clean, with a romantic portrayal of a traditional Japanese sushi house. Service was quick and attentive; the server gave recommendations and made sure our orders were entered in to quality for the lower combo price. While we waited, we were served a complimentary edamame appetizer and were given just the right amount of space to take in the delicate music and scenery. For drinks, I had hot filtered sake, my husband had cold unfiltered sake-- both of which were fairly priced. When the sushi came, it was beautifully plated and had wasabi, ginger, seaweed salad, and a dazzling orchid garnish. I had a spicy salmon roll and specialty Hawaiian roll. Both tasted delicious and fresh! At the very end of our meal, our server surprised us with a small cheesecake treat. Our new go-to date night spot!

A new hidden gem?!*Ambiance: Interior is beautiful! Decorated to reflect Japanese culture and art - definitely great for thise instagrammable pictures!*Food: Sushi was better than I expected! I ordered the Roll Combo, getting the Crazy Volcano Roll and Spicy California Roll, and my friend ordering Specialty Combo, getting the Dancing and Sunset specialty rolls! All for a total of ~$45! We loved every single roll that we ordered! Presentation was beautiful and taste was well balanced. My favorite was definitely the Crazy Volcano Roll. We even got complimentary edamame, spring rolls, and cheesecake cubes!*Service: Service was great! Our server kept made sure we had everything we needed, and even gave us small complimentary items, which surprised us! Big thank you!! Definitely coming back for sure!

Lovely sushi restaurant added to the Sterling area. It definitely has a bit of a fast casual but still very nice restaurant atmosphere. The decor inside was very traditional Japan theme, loved it! My boyfriend and I started off with their miso soup, very delicious.They also bought our complimentary edamame. I loved snacking on them as we were waiting for our food to come out. For appetizer we got the gyoza, fried with pork filling. It was perfectly fried with just the right amount of crispiness. The server also brought out complimentary veggie egg-rolls which were so surprisingly good. I would never order veggie egg-rolls but I loved that it was still pretty flavorful, soft yet crispy. For sushi rolls, we got the Yankee Roll (Spicy white tuna , avocado), Superman Roll (Spicy salmon , avocado) and Earthquake Roll (Spicy salmon, real crab meat , avocado). They were all so delicious, super fresh. I loved that they did not overpower the rolls by drenching it in sauce, where you are still able to taste the freshness and flavors of the fish. They are very generous with the amount of protein to rice ratio of their rolls. To end the meal, they also gave us some complimentary cheesecake bites! Amazing attention to detail and service here!

Ordered take out from here tonight since the wife was craving some sushi. I've heard decent things about this place and was looking forward to trying it out.We ordered 5 rolls, Alaskan, Rainbow, Eel avocado, Earthquake, Spicy Salmon. I'd have say the flavor of all but the Earthquake roll was lackluster. The portions were huge but the taste was meh. I really wanted to enjoy the food here but it didn't hit the spot. I would recommend Passion Fin in Ashburn if you're craving for good sushi. They get 3 stars because of the nice servers that greeted me to check me out for the take out and the restaurant looks nice.
