Service is always good and the food is great! We particularly love the sushi at Sweet Ginger. All the duck dishes we have tried are outstanding.

My husband and I have been going to Sweet Ginger regularly for a while, most recently last Friday. It's small in size, but big in flavor. Make a reservation on weekends if you don't want to wait for a table. Service is prompt and friendly. Prices are reasonable. It's a great place for families or even date night. Their sushi... More

I have been to Sweet Ginger many times over the past three years, and it never disappoints. Reservations are a must since it is small and very popular. Have had a variety of appetizers, specialty rolls, sushi, and entire meals - all were wonderful. Miso soup is great - the salad is also wonderful - so it is always difficult... More

Family favorite since we moved here in 2004. Great Asian fusion cuisine. Helpful and efficient wait staff. It's the place my daughter picks for her "special occasion" when she has a craving for the sushi and sashimi from growing up in Hawaii. We love their specialty rolls, especially the spicy crunchy lobster roll (yes, we know that it's not authentic... More

We lived in Vienna for about 4 years and in that time this would have to be my favourite restaurant given that the Washington area has a lot of great cusine on offer. Even when I returned recently to catch up with friends this is where we chose to meet up. Now back in Australia I have not had a... More

We have been dining at Sweet Ginger for many years--I forget how many. It is, by far, our favorite restaurant. The owners are a Thai and a Japanese couple, so the menu reflects a long list of pan-Asian cooked-to-order dishes. The restaurant is not large, so reservations are in order. My wife usually goes for the mixed sushi platter, and... More

Pan Asian restaurant in a strip mall. Excellent service, very attentive. This spot gets crowded, even on weeknights occasionally, so recommend making a reservation. We love their sushi combinations, usually get Sushi Mori B which is a generous serving, including several individual pieces, Calif. roll, salad and soup. Also ALWAYS get a wasabi cream roll, which has shrimp tempura wrapped... More

I live at least an hour away from this restaurant and was taking my daughter Dulles Airport. On the way we met her friends, one of whom recommended this place. It is amazing! I ordered two appetizers and one would have been enough. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. It was so good I took a friend... More

This is my favorite place in Vienna, Va to have sushi. The fish is fresh, the rolls are unique and the classic rolls are really good. The drinks are super fun too! I can't say enough about this place. You should just go and see for yourself. Check out the menu online before you go. You'll be intrigued and want... More
