food was amazing !! no complaints other than the fact our waiter forgot our friends drink (she took all our ours together so it was pretty odd) however staff were nice & respectful. finding a table was a breeze not to mention the decor of the rooms. me and my friends were seated at a anime styled room, was so cool. lastly we were served pretty quickly, the wait time between ordering & eating had to be about 20 mins !

What a lovely little gem in the neighborhood!
I had dinner here today with my sister, and we both left with such a warm and happy impression.

The food was incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious — you can truly feel the care and quality in every dish. The service was high-class yet very friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The interior is cozy, elegant, and thoughtfully designed — a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal.

I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone in the neighborhood and beyond. It’s a wonderful spot for a calm, pleasant evening.

I will definitely be coming back again!

Stopped in for lunch and was blown away by our experience. Everything we ordered was fantastic, but the standout was the shosake roll. The yuzu pearls added a fresh little vibrant pop to each bite that tied it together perfectly. Our server was attentive and friendly, and we had the opportunity to chat with the owner, who was also very friendly and excited to tell us about his favorite dishes. At his recommendation, we ordered the yuzu brown butter ice cream- it was smooth, creamy, and a perfect way to end our meal.

10/10 experience from start to finish!

I usually never leave reviews but I came here for my birthday with my boyfriend and had the best experience. This place is truly a GEM, and that’s coming from someone who loves Japanese food and makes it a point to try Japanese spots in every new city I visit. I’m so happy we finally found amazing quality sushi in NOVA. This place is so now TOP of my list compared to Shoto or Modan.

So happy I took pictures because everything we ordered was SO GOOD. The cuts were generous and literally melted in your mouth. We loved it so much we already booked our next reservation- this time with friends!

This was my first time at the restaurant and it was overall a good experience!

Karage: I was surprised by how much we were given! It’s plenty to share with 2-3 people for an appetizer. It was very crispy and juicy, but unfortunately a little too salty and the sauce was quite salty too.

Sushi/nigiri: they were really fresh and delicious. The rolls had a little too much rice for my personal taste, but they were also flavorful and would order again.

Risotto: this was such a great dish! I absolutely loved their Miso Shiitake Risotto. If you are ordering more items, this is good share for 2 people.

Dessert: I love anything with matcha, so if course I had to try their Matcha Tiramisu and Ice Cream. The ice cream was thick and rich and I loved it, the tiramisu was quite dry and not as flavorful.

The entire meal was around $140 + tip with everything you’re seeing in the photos. It’s a nice place for a date night.

Visited Sho for the first time today for lunch. I ordered the Natsu and the Tuna Flight to-go. I was able to arrive at the restaurant earlier than expected, so I asked if I could sit down and eat my order. The manager said hesitated because he said he would have to re-plate the order. I offered to eat the food out of the containers, which couldn’t have looked too bad in the empty restaurant. However, he insisted it mattered too much to him and followed with stating that I would not be allowed to eat my food in the EMPTY restaurant.

The two sushi orders, the Natsu and the Tuna Flight, totaled to $66. The Natsu was a smaller roll than expected. I thought with the 3 different fish, it would be more flavorful, but it was bland. While the tuna flight was flavorful, I only received 3 of the 4 nigiri as promised in the flight. They included some sort of spicy tuna hand roll instead. I would’ve ordered differently had I known they were unable to satisfy the order. Overall, pretty disappointed I chose this restaurant out of all the great places nearby.

I had nothing short of a 10/10 experienced at this restaurant. I came here in hopes of looking for a good sushi place and my first time eating out alone and the experience was perfect! The staff was incredibly kind and attentive and the sushi was the best I’ve had so far (and that’s saying a lot since I have lived in various states)! Such great quality and I will definitely be back with friends.

I came alone in looking for a quiet dinner and something familiar. This place felt right immediately.

The room was warm and elevated. Not crowded. Soft laughter from groups of friends. A space that made being by yourself feel intentional.

You see the chefs and greeters as soon as you walk in, all welcoming you together with genuine smiles. That kind of hospitality you recognize if you’ve spent time in Japan. Calm, generous, unforced.

I didn’t look at the menu. Asked the waiter to bring me what he recommended. Premium nigiri flight, $80. An easy yes. I skipped alcohol and went with the green tea, light, smooth, and comforting.

Service was thoughtful throughout. Present, kind, never intrusive.

The food came precise and quietly stunning. For a while, I wasn’t trying to relive Japan anymore. I was just there.

The ambience was nice. The waitresses and hostess were also friendly. Our food just took very long. We ordered beef tongue steak but it came out lukewarm/a little cold. We also ordered two premium rolls but it took another 35-40 minutes to come out. The price-to-value ratio is something to consider.

Food was delicious! We got a tuna flight, three rolls and a specialty roll. Tuna flight was amazing. Fish was phenomenal. We loved the speciality roll and the shrimp tempura roll. The only thing that could have been better was how they ask what water you want. They asked still or sparkling so we said still and got a $10 bottle of still water. We could have had house water instead At no cost but didn’t know the option.
