"This Japanese-fusion restaurant is always a go-to because it’s far from your typical sushi joint. With both sushi and tacos on the menu, KAiZEN has anything you’re craving and is the perfect solution when you can’t decide what to eat. As a sushi fanatic, it’s safe to say I’ve tried most of the rolls in Alexandria, and this place wins for both flavor and atmosphere."

"Potomac West's The Sushi Bar, located at 2312 Mt Vernon Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the sushi bar four stars out of 273 reviews. The dishes at this "cozy lounge-like escape" are served on "tapas-style" small plates, according to the business, which also asks that guests not bring children under 18."

"Despite being situated in the heart of historic Old Town in Alexandria, this restaurant brings a little bit of New Orleans spice to the reserved New England area. In addition to offering flavorful cuisine straight from the bayou, this local restaurant and pub also has live music every night of the week. For those who aren't as into live music and would prefer to dance to the sounds of a DJ, they host a DJ Tuesday through Saturday in the downstairs Bayou Room."

"As the new kid on the block in Old Town Alexandria, Bistro Sancerre opened in January 2019 and is already making waves with its innovative take on classic French cuisine. The interior of the bistro is large, sleek and modern and there is also a romantic patio for good-weather dining. You can get started by ordering a few of their appetizers which include classic French favorites like escargot and Foie Gras given a brand new twist."
