Best Japanese Restaurants in Sterling

The food was great and the atmosphere was as always great!

I have been a patron of Ocean Prime for years in the Columbus Ohio location, but I moved to the DMV and my experiences at the DC location have been subpar. Steven single handedly turned that around last night. It was my brother’s birthday, and he has special needs (Downs Syndrome). Our waiter, Steven went above and beyond in making sure he was catered to, and the rest of the table too. He checked in regularly and we didn’t want for anything. 10/10 across the board.

I had the crab cakes. They were just so-so (I’ve had better on the Eastern Shore), and small. My guest had the grilled swordfish, it was very good. We had the spring roll appetizer, also very good with a tasty crunch.

The charred broccolini is not to be missed. You will double think it because what’s so special about a vegetable at a sushi restaurant right? Wrong. Definitely get the broccolini.

I dined here as a solo diner and usually you wouldn’t get the best service because the servers want larger parties, but this was not the case here. Zach made sure I was taken care of. This is a rarity as someone who travels a lot alone and has experienced the bad end of dining alone. I’ve had a few friends and family dine here when they visited and loved it so I’m glad I was able to get the same experience they had as a solo diner.
