It is a very nice Japanese restaurant.We went there for a lunch on Wednesday. There were not many customers. The waitress welcomed us. She smiled. But I didn’t feel very comfortable. It was weird.We ordered a sushi combination of tuna, bronzino, yellowtail, shrimp, salmon, eel, albacore and a hamanegi roll, edmame, fried dumplings, fried oysters, yakiyori, and beef pot.Generally speaking, they all tasted good, especially the fried oysters, very juicy and fresh. The beef pot is really good! The portion is big with a lot of beef slices. The soup is too salty though. I like the soy beans as well.

Surprisingly delightful sushi spot in VA. The place doesn’t look much from outside, but the food was outstanding. I ordered regular Sushi dinner and Nabeyaki Udon. Sushi was fresh and very flavorful and the nabeyaki udon was hot and delicious. They are usually busy during the weekend dinner service, so I would avoid that time. Overall, I had a great experience and definitely plan to come back soon. Highly recommended if you are around the area!

Probably the most Authentic Japanese restaurant in Northern Virginia. Parking can be a pain during dinner hours and usually have to wait a little bit. But the food makes it worthwhile.

As always, fantastic and attentive service, without being obtrusive. I brought my dad here for his birthday and we had a gorgeous dinner of the freshest sushi, miso soup, tempura, croquettes, and a beef entree for my dad. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. I've been coming to Tachibana for years, and will continue to recommend it as a great place for quality sushi and Japanese cuisine. Regrettably the sushi bar has still not reopened since the pandemic, and it will be nice to have that option in the future, especially as a single diner! Thank you, Tachibana, for another great dining experience.

Most Japanese restaurants in this area are run by Chinese but they are Japanese at this place. It surely reflects in their food. Probably the best California rolls I've had in a while. Their char broiled mackerel is ? Even the rice is superior.

Enjoyed our meal staff was nice and looked after us.

I implore you to try their non sushi dishes as well as their sushi. They make legit udon, tonkatsu and soba noodles. I especially like their tonkatsu for the perfected crisp of the pork cutlet outer layer and dipping it in sauce and hot mustard is very yummy. Their Chirashi is perfectly portioned sushi slices over season rice. I don’t particularly care for the mackerel slice but some people like that. Their egg custard slice is legit. The rice is always perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Solid spot for Japanese food. Ordered some fried oysters and scallops to start which were perfectly cooked with a nice crispy outside. For my main entree, I did the katsudon which was also very good. Also managed to snag a yellowtail nigiri which was probably the freshest sushi I've had in awhile. Definitely made me regret not order more sushi. Service was good and no issues parking in their parking lot. Would definitely return if I'm ever in the area again.'Til next time, cheers!

Great food & great service. The food was not only exceptional but served in a timely manner. Additionally, our server was very attentive & made sure we were all doing alright.
