Tachibana Japanese Restaurant

Excellent sushi and fish in McLean. We live so close and always find ourselves here. Pictured is the chirashi and dinner box A with chicken and salmon. The dinner box is honestly so much food and it comes with the California roll. Miso soup here is excellent. Service is incredible, seated and served water right away with food arriving shortly after. Would recommend Tachibana to anyone!!

Excellent food, excellent service. It was worth the almost 1 hour wait to be seated. The two things I wanted was already out of stock however. Be sure to get there in time.

Got some recommendations for this place while visiting DC. Definitely worth a stop we waited 20 mins for a table. Tried the fried soft shell crab, and scallops and the sashimi special was awesome. The uni and salmon row bowl was the best thing we had tonight.

The Japanese cuisine at this restaurant is of the highest quality, and the old-world charm makes the dining experience even more special

Just love Tachibana. The reception is pleasant and very much what you'd expect. The food is simply the best Japanese I have had, outside of Japan. It is kid friendly and family oriented but also a perfect date night option. It is popular, and every time I've been there, it is a 15 to 20 minute wait. But don't be discouraged, put your name on the list and just relax, it is worth the time. Returned for another dinner and added extra photos. Again, the service was excellent and we tried the ramen, which was very good. The box meal was larger than we expected.

I like the eel rice and miso soup here, and the service staff are particularly good.

5/5! I had an excellent experience here at Tachibana. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was very good! The restaurant is located upstairs in a small building, and there is a decent amount of parking space as well. The restaurant is decorated nicely and gives a very authentic feel. The Food: The food was delicious here! My friends and I ordered a couple of appetizers and sushi, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. For the table, we had the Croquette and Pork Gyoza. Both appetizers were delicious. Especially the Gyoza, the meat ratio was good and the flavor of the filling was very authentic. For sushi, I went with the Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon, Hamanegi (Yellowtail) Roll and the Smoked Salmon Roll. All four rolls were delicious! The quality of the fish was excellent, and each bite was incredibly buttery and soft. The sear on the salmon had a very nice flavor to it as well. The Service: The service was very good. The host and staff were very kind and attentive. Water refills were on point! Which is a huge thing. The Atmosphere: The restaurant itself was nice! The decor had a very authentic Japanese feel and was clean. There was plenty of space for seating as well. Overall, a 5/5! This is definitely one of my top sushi restaurants in the area. I'd highly give this a recommendation if you're looking for some quality sushi.

My parents' favorite Japanese place in the DMV area since 20+ years ago and my favorite Japanese place now.
