We went for lunch on a whim and we were so pleasantly surprised to find one of our new favorite places! Got a couple of the daily special sushi rolls since they were only $5. In the Veggie Box I had some of the crispest tofu, amazing! For lunch on a Sunday, the place was pretty empty and quiet, but service was super quick! Hope to be back many times!
Amazing and fresh. Staff is wonderful and the service is great! The food is so good that we came two nights in a row with more family members!
The chef came to the table to describe items we had questions about. The food is fresh and delicious! Service is excellent, waitstaff attentive and respectful.
Smokey flavor and yum yum sauce. Yamafuji was a delight. We eat a lot of asian and oriental cuisine as my wife prefers sushi almost every meal and I choose the fried rice options every time. This one stood out to me. As many places in the DC area seem to offer variants in their fried rice such as green bean or corn, this adds very small amounts of broccoli. The part that stands out is the SMOKEY flavor the meal offers which make the taste buds dance with joy. It was delicious it almost made me sad. (weird emotions I know) But the meal was able to bring so much feeling. I believe it was the pepper added to it which the others don't do which helped. This time I chose chicken over my usual shrimp and it was a great choice. The chicken was very tender and soft. They provided plenty of yum yum sauce. Totally recommend this friendly place.
The menu is superb. Far more interesting sushi menu than most places, the breadth is remarkable and reflects this is run by Japanese who know what they're doing. Noodle dishes and a broad selection of traditional Japanese dishes as well. Nice people, service was very good, though we walked in at around 3:30. The place is a bit worn. You go here to eat well, not impress a date. We had a few apps from the sushi menu, a couple of rolls and about a dozen nigiri. The quality of the fish was superb. Sushi rice was a bit on the dry side and not as flavored as we make or are used to. Still excellent, just another variation. Priced very right, at least from what we're used to. Glad we went, definitely a find, highly recommended.
We were headed back from Skyline and needed a quick dinner, but it was late (after 8) and everything seemed closed. Found Yamafuji on Yelp and called to make sure they were open and then headed that way. Service was friendly, food was great, and if we're ever up that way again we would definitely stop by for some gyoza and Ramen!
Quick Tip: Stick with sushi and do takeout/delivery. Sushi is their strength. Tonight I sampled several nigiri, the soft shell crab hand roll, and two flavors of mochi ice cream. The fatty tuna was fantastic and stood out from the rest. Inari is an old favorite that Yamafuji does well, and the bluefin tuna's texture was juuuuuust right. Thought the blue crab was dull; not what I expected. And the surf clam was new for me - a thick, chewy delight. Handroll was good but probably tastes better when dining in (as all fried items do), and the ice cream was meh (neither mango nor red bean tastes like mango or red bean). All in all, this is my go-to for sushi but nothing more - and that's a-okay with me!
