Kizuna Sushi & Ramen

YOU GUYS! You must go and checkout this place. The food here is absolutely amazing. From the moment the Sashimi Plater set on the table to the first bite. It is absolutely one of the best sushi place I've ever tasted in the DMV area. The service was quick and fast, and the atmosphere here is just gorgeous.

The service here is great—attentive and genuinely welcoming. The sushi is solid. It’s not the best I’ve had, but the quality and presentation are very good. The Philly rolls were decent, though I expected a bit more from the signature rolls given their price. I tried the Wonder and Red Light Green Light, and the Wonder definitely stood out. Now, the ramen? Absolute perfection. The Kizuna Ramen was bursting with flavor—easily the highlight of the meal. To top it off, even the owners came by to say hello, which added a nice personal touch to an already great atmosphere.

Tasty dishes with cute presentation! There was a short wait for our party of 3 on a Friday night, and we were tempted to sit outside since the patio area had very fairy-tale vibes. An older Asian lady (who I assume was the owner) came up and checked on our table a couple times and even gave me and my sister and friend a hug as we were leaving 🤭 I really enjoyed the pork belly baos and smothered tater tots, and would gladly get any of the eel or shrimp tempura rolls again when I eventually come back!

Great place to eat and the food is so good. I highly recommend the ramen. Wait was not that long and the parking was easy. I would come back.

Family-owned ramen bar with fantastic sushi. They use fresh in-house clean-label bone broths and ramen that are amalgamated with just the right combination to tantalize both the traditional and modern Japanese and Western palates. I had the Kizuna ramen and it was delicious! Premium Aburi Chashu (high grade pork belly carved and rolled, marinated overnight, braised for over 7 hours, chilled, sliced, and then chargrilled to smoky, tender perfection), delightful ramen noodles that are perfectly cooked and textured, and your usual ramen accoutrements, topped with a perfectly cooked and sliced Ramen Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago). Jinya ramen really can't compare with this, in my opinion. if you get the chance to meet the owner Rock or his family members, be sure to ask them about the story of the restaurant. it's a warm combination of east meets west! 😍👏🙏

Update: I had a good experience last time so i wanted to visit here again. I think this time it kinda failed. Fish didn’t taste fresh. White fish on top had skin on them. They don’t show in picture but they were rough. I don’t remember seeing rough skins on sushi fish before… :( rice was way too sweet. It tasted like just rice and sugar mixed… i don’t think sushi rice are supposed be made like that… my daughter was upset that rice was too sweet. Me too. Although, manager looking lady seemed to be very friendly. Not sure if i want to visit again. I rather eat sweet mochi if i wanted to eat something sweet not sushi or chirashi taste are sweet like chocolate. The ramen wasn’t too salty and was good. I’ve been to many ramen places and they were usually too salty for me. It had so much noodles too. The regular chirashi was awesome. Good quality fish on it. Would definitely go back.

Definitely one of the most flavorful and high quality ramens I’ve had in the area. The noodles are not soggy and cheap. The tuna was extremely high quality as well. Beware the chicken karaage is very filling lol; it comes with a homemade sauce so good that we asked for a box to take it home. Also extremely friendly staff; I think the owner came and greeted all the guests personally.

Sushi was great quality And there are plenty of unique options on the menu! Manager was incredibly kind welcoming. She really need an effort to meet The costumers and make sure they were happy.
