Red Bar Sushi and Best Thai Kitchen

After driving and meeting my friend in Middleburg, we decided we needed some good food for lunch. Loved reading the reviews and this place didn’t disappoint. We ordered the Thai iced teas— a bit too sweet for me, but my friend enjoyed it. We shared sushi as an appetizer: we got a salmon avocado roll and a spicy tuna roll— both were yummy! My friend ordered the udon noodle soup which was huge and very very filling. I ordered the ka prow with shrimp, Thai spicy. They delivered! Quite a nice meal with lovely service. Ps. This was the off season so there was only one waitress and two other tables at this time. We sat inside, but there is outside seating too. I’d go back!

**I don't recommend this place at all** I was actually on my way to the other thai but I wanted to try this new place. I'm thai food lover and this one was the worst one in DMV. The place was already crowded when I entered the door and I had to wait more than 30 mins to get seated, 8- adults were just standing being awkward. There was no proper host, and 3 servers just taking the order and food. They don't even bother to look at the new customers coming in. **Food took forever to come out !!!!!!! ** Sushi was a big NONO, not really fresh and no taste. Drunken noodle, crispy tilapia, eggplant with tofu were OK. Our papaya salad did not come out so I've informed the lady and she was going to check the kitchen. The cook came out with the salad and apologized for being so late, he also said the salad is on the house since it came out when we finished the food. When we received the check, it was charged. Our table did not mind getting charged and just paid the original and gave extra tips too since they do work hard. But just really bad service and super super super slow. The machine broke down at the end so we had to wait another minutes for credit card payment....ridiculous

We ate here twice during our week long vacation. The food is pretty standard for the fare, but it was delicious. The staff was extremely short-handed and our waitress was amazing through the fray, keeping tables clean and cycling people in and out effectively. They had some interesting sushi too.

LOVED finding this place!!! They have a great mix of Sushi and Japanese cuisine with a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Worth the drive if your looking for a great casual restaurant to relax at and enjoy really fresh wonderful food.

I can honestly say it’s been a very long time since I’ve had such a disappointing dining experience!! While the food itself was of good quality the service was extremely poor and made the visit unpleasant! We sat down and placed our drink and appetizer orders and main dishes a bit later, but about 30 minutes later, our main meals arrived before any appetizers! When we mentioned this to our server, she apologized and said she’d check on it, but another 30–45 minutes went by with no updates and no one checking in on us! When she finally returned and we asked for the check, she asked if we had ever received our appetizers which we hadn’t. We waited another 20–25 minutes with our card ready to pay, but again, no follow-up. Eventually, we walked to the front desk to pay and even then, no one apologized or acknowledged the poor service! It’s disappointing because the food was actually good, but the lack of attentiveness and accountability from the staff completely ruined the experience! We won’t be returning, as there are plenty of other restaurants with both great food and respectful, attentive service!

First time at Red Bar Sushi. Went there for dinner on a Saturday, and had a reservation, which I would recommend if you want to eat inside. They also have a nice patio area, so outdoor dining is a available. Sushi was amazing and overall a good experience. The place is kind of small, so pretty tight quarters. Also, service was slow. Be prepared for long waits between service. They only had one waitress plus a server, and it was full. Not sure they could have added another wait person with the space limitations, so you're probably always going to be in that situation in this particular space. Did I mention that the sushi was fantastic. If you're not in a hurry, and you want great sushi, this place is great.

We love RBS, however their new manager / waiter (woman with short brown/black hair) is causing us to seek other establishments. First time she waited on us she forgot to put in our order. We waited for 2 hours (restaurant was busy) for her to come and say oh sorry forgot to put that in, giggle and act like there was no care in the world. We figured she was new and let it slip. Yesterday on 1/3 it happened again but at least this time she remembered to put in our mains and just forgot the apps. Her tone when apologizing is flat and gives off the impression that we are bothering her by asking for her to put in the missing food. We ordered items because we want to eat said food item, not because we think it’s a fun game. We asked to speak to a manager 1/3 (yesterday) and she said she was the manager. Sad this establishment is going down hill due to poor hiring.

Great sushi placed tucked out of view in a beautiful little town. The dishes range from tried and true to interestingly creative. I would give them 5 stars, but like much of Middleburg, it's a bit overpriced.

In a small town with limited options for Asian food, this place is a diamond in the rough taking care of all my cravings and at a reasonable price for the area. Whether you're craving Thai, Japanese, or Chinese cuisine, there will be something on the menu for you and they actually do every culture's cuisine right. I've been to other Asian restaurants that try to do-it-all and have been dissatisfied, but so far everything I've tried from every area of the menu was awesome! Can't go wrong with the sushi (great specialty rolls too), bento boxes are a great bang for your buck and will leave you with leftovers, the pad Thai and drunken noodles were great, and every appetizer and soup I've tried so far has been great. I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu in my coming trips to...dang I always forget the full name...

Our favorite Thai place in Middleburg! Family owned, small business with delicious food being served. Prices are right in the middle, quite a good portion of food, served per meal. Our favorites are the Miso soup and Pad See Ew! Service is OK but not going above and beyond which is kind of sad, as that is something they can easily improve on.

This place was amazing!!!! Very cute restaurant, and cozy. The service is the best you feel like you are at home! The staff everyone I went the best! The food was made fresh, delicious! Please check this place out. You will not be disappointed!

Cute little restaurant with a fairly extensive menu. Sushi was good as well as the bento box. The mango sticky rice was a miss, not mango season. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Would definitely come back again.

Drunken noodles were amazing. My husband ordered the udon Japanese noodles - no flavor at all (he requested "Thai hot" - she said she couldn't do that but she would bring us the "spice rack"). We both added chicken to the entree we ordered which added $4 to each dish, which was fine - but the amount of chicken was nominal and seemed like an insufficient amount. A nearby table had too much to drink and ruined the environment - it's a small seating area, so it was very uncomfortable and the only waitress did nothing about it. Will not return. Two stars because the drunken noodles were awesome!

I stayed in middleburg on the way home from NC to NJ and stopped here for linch and was blown away. I had the tuna crisps, avocado salad, dumplings and a specialty roll and every single thing was amazing.

It was a bit disappointing, our last visit. They changed location. They are now located in a old dingy "single family home" on a backroad. The tables and chairs were dirty and poorly positioned. The table was moving and had to improvise something to stick it under one of its legs so it would stop moving. The interior of this place looks like someone at some point picked up a couple guys from the front of 7Eleven and threw them inside and said "remodel this POS, I give you $500 each" It feels like even though they downgraded on location, they have upgraded the prices. Unless I hear they have remodeled the interior of this tentative of a restaurant I won't come again. It used to be one of my wife and I favorite sushi places in NoVA, which is why I won't hurt them with a lower star rating....

A bit torn and disappointed. Delivery has been hit or miss as of late. On multiple occasions we have had several dishes arrive barely warm. Like they were sitting for a while. When it arrives hot it's delicious.

The food was good. Slightly overpriced compared to surrounding areas but no major complaints. The Pad Thai was a good texture but not great to reheat (that's probably my problem.) We also had the udon which came with a funny spoon. We really liked the taste both both. The place was small and slightly hot and we were left standing in the front area for at least five minutes because there was only one server. We felt bad and awkward because it was literally in front of the door. We had to wait even though we had a reservation and the food took forever to come out. The food was a 5/5, service was 3.5/5.

Ramen eh but sushi incredible. Folksy but fun place, server was awesome. Bad English all around made me love it even more :). Took a curry to go, and it was really good too... Tiny place but wow.
