Sushi and Asian restaurants in Alexandria

Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Old Town has the biggest cluster of sushi and Asian restaurants in Alexandria, on King Street, Queen Street and North Washington Street. Smaller groups are on Duke Street, Eisenhower Avenue and South Van Dorn Street.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Alexandria’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 19, 2026. Others were added from 2026 Virginia Department of Health inspection records, which are also our source for places with no website. Three map entries with neither were left out. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
