8. Arigato Sushi

I've been to Arigato Sushi numerous times and it's one of those places that one goes to when they're too lazy to think of a better place. It's not terrible, but it's nothing to write home about either. Located in the Walmart shopping center in Fairfax, Arigato offers ample seating. To begin with, they serve complimentary edamame and dangerously delicious cream cheese puffs. Just like any other place, they were attentive enough to top off our hot teas throughout our visit. We ordered a few sushi rolls, but none stood out enough for me to remember their names. They were alright, but I have had better. The service is meh. The waitresses are attentive enough, but I don't recall ever seeing a smile. Most likely I will be back for another lazy unpretentious evening, but that's about it.

There was no wait nor lines at this quaint sushi place in the Mosaic District. Other places had longer lines and noisier crowds. But Iron Chef was the perfect atmosphere for a birthday get-together. The Chef Signature rolls were unique and delicious with interesting combination of flavors/ingredients. Staff was very friendly and service was quite accommodating! Would come back here again and try some other entrees which included noodles, teriyaki and combo boxes.

This is a fun and yummy restaurant. The service is very friendly and there are a range of menu options. Youâre seated at a table thatâll seat about 10 where the chef makes the meal in front of you. This is a pricey dinner, so plan to spend $18 - $30 per person.

Would I comeback again? Of course yes, I would, the restaurant is small but really nice family ambient, the waiters very friendly, but the most important thing "THE FOOD" sooo delicious and authentic they have the most traditional Japanese dishes like, Takoyaki (octopus balls) and also okonomiyaki (savoury pancake) just an advice if you want to try the okonomiyaki you must call to make a reservation and request this dish 1-2 day before you arrive because they need prepare all the ingredients.

Tried this with the family and enjoyed the experience. The place has sections for hot food (soups, seafood, noodle, tempura), desserts (ice cream, fruit, and cakes/pies), and cold food (sashimi, sushi, glass noodle, salads). There was quite a variety.We ended up deciding the hot food section was the best option. The desserts were nice, however the cold section fell short of expectations. We found the sushi just mediocre (good quality but meh) even though there was a huge variety.I think we will still visit but will find a smaller place to enjoy specialty sushi rolls. Price per person is $30 not including tip. The staff was great and checked on us frequently for refills and plate removal.
3. Jinya Ramen

Jinya is my new favorite place in Mosaic. My favorite things to get here are the Carmelized Cauliflower appetizer and the Vegetarian Ramen. The spirit of the staff is upbeat, the vibe of the place is hip. Itâs dark inside, and noisy, but you get a welcoming feeling in there. If itâs nice weather, outside is the place to sit. Their patio is mostly covered so you will get sun protection. Itâs really nice to sit out there and watch all of the activity in the main Mosaic Central Park. Donât be afraid to sit at the bar for dinner if there are no tables available. Very friendly and inviting bar staff. So on to the food - the most important part of course! Everything is fresh and delicious. I have never had a bad meal or a bad experience at Jinya. I have eaten inside, outside at the bar and taken to go. My only slightly negative comment would be, if you are getting Ramen to go, it gets cold quite fast and it will require heating up at home. Also, a bit pricey for what youâre getting, but priced as expected for Mosaic. The Veg Ramen is so yummy in a mushroom broth, loaded with fresh greens, and other veg, and a heaping helping of Ramen noodles. The Cauliflower app is sweet and savory at the same time, with roasted garlic, pine nuts and of course the cauliflower itself which is roasted to a perfect golden hue. There are many other things on the menu to try. I highly recommend Jinya and I will be returning again and again.

Unfortunately the ramen tastes like ramen from the store, but served in miso broth it is so much better. Don't order from the special menu, lacks flavor and taste. Wings are nothing special. You must order the pork bun and can't beat their happy hour beers. Fun place and decent price. Best ramen is the miso the other lack in flavor. If this post helped please leave a thumbs up as a helpful comment!

We had a great meal here. The service was excellent - fast and pleasant - also very attentive. We had a fabulous array of sushi and sashimi on our platters - the small salad and miso soup were very good as well. One possible drawback is - there may have been added MSG in the food. I didn't think to ask as I don't have a problem back home eating Sushi out, but I noticed the next day I had the tell-tail headache I always get. If you are MSG sensitive - ask them!
