Sushi & sashimi with bold murals & open kitchen
"Bangkok-born chef Saran Kannasute fulfilled his dream of opening his first restaurant on the outskirts of Arlington in 2018. Holding court behind a sleek sushi counter framed with a graffiti-splashed geisha mural, he’s not afraid to play with offbeat flavors like lavender-smoked salmon, monkfish liver, and uni with torched wagyu. The team just expanded across state lines with the July opening of sushi stunner Kyojin in Georgetown’s old L2 Lounge." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"At five years old, I see Yume as an outer-Arlington raw-fish hit where Kannasute experiments with bold flavors behind a sleek sushi counter — think lavender-smoked salmon, truffle wasabi, monkfish liver, uni paired with torched wagyu, and a widespread use of edible flowers that makes dishes as gorgeous as they are tasty. The spot’s adventurous, non-traditional Japanese plates and the practice of flying in fresh fish overnight are the calling cards that the team brings with them to their D.C. flagship." - Tierney Plumb
"This Falls Church newcomer has pivoted from its creative omakase model to curbside pickup and delivery of appetizers and creations like a scallop dynamite roll or an “after rain roll,” with tuna, salmon, white fish, asparagus, and avocado wrapped in soy paper and served alongside jalapeno cream sauce." - Travis Mitchell
"As part of Falls Church Restaurant Week, Yume Sushi is discounting everything on the menu by 20 percent during weekday dinners." - Gabe Hiatt
"Chef Saran Kannasute opened this restaurant at the tail end of 2018, bringing another omakase counter to Northern Virginia. The $85 menu is served at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays and at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays." - Eater Staff
