Pleasant ambiance with good quality food. The sushi could be better, but the appetizers and the Thai selections were on point.... The members of the staff were attentive. Perfect place for a date with your special someone. Read more

Here is the thing about this place - the food is really really good, however the service needs to be worked on. They have fresh... fish and their rolls are delicious. Their cocktail wasn't bad either. I wouldn't have given them 4 stars if they had done agood job on their service. We had places a reservation but when we went there, they couldn't find us and we ended up waiting for20 mins. Also, once we got seated, it tool them more that 15 mins to take the order. Read more

I continue to have fantastic experiences at Akeno. The ingredients are fresh and the rolls come packed with so much flavor. I... also always enjoy a cocktail or two with each visit. Superb flavor combinations and presentation. Read more

We came here on a whim, and we really enjoyed it. The food came out exceptionally fast, and it was some of the best sushi I?ve... had in Northern Virginia area. We liked all of the rules that we got, but the specialty roles were the best ones. And their beerselection was really good and four decent prices too. We will be back for the happy hour! Read more

Cute little Sunday night date with my honey and we were pleasantly surprised. Inside of a small shopping center is where this... little gem is tucked away. We walked into a beautiful, modern, oriental decor with traditional Japanese flair. The ambiance wasbeautiful, my cocktail was well made and flavorful and the sushi and sashimi was incredible! We were taken back at the qualityof the food. The plating was IMPECCABLE! Like little pieces of curated art. The service was fast, friendly and accommodating. Welook forward to going again!

My friends and I had a great time here! Amazing food and atmosphere. Friendly staff. I had the rainbow roll and Alaskan roll,... both of which were great. The other sushi rolls my friends were also great. There isn't a ton of seating so if it's a weekendnight, i recommend making a reservation. Price: pretty standard for sushi in the Nova area. The special rolls are about 13-14dollars and the other rolls about 8 dollars. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Read more

Guys this place is amazing. I'm so glad to see this part of Annandale becoming more diverse. The offerings on the menu are... Japanese/Thai food with an extensive sushi section, there is also a bar. I have not had an opportunity to try the Thai portionof the menu. But the sushi and Japanese portion is inspired. I've been to the place on several occasional and walked awaythinking that Im so lucky to live near this place. Also! The bartender is a magician, the drinks menu makes such an intelligentuse of Asian flavors! You've got to hit it up! Read more
