The Little City has big flavors, and so does Arlington, according to one recent list of Northern Virginia’s best restaurants.

Twelve restaurants in Falls Church and Arlington made Northern Virginia Magazine’s list of The 50 Best Restaurants in Northern Virginia for 2025 — including three establishments in the top 10.

Yume Sushi, a Japanese restaurant in East Falls Church, claimed the No. 3 spot on the list, which was decided by the publication’s three food critics. The magazine described the creativity of chef Saran Kannasute resulting in a menu that “reads like a love letter to excess in the best way.”

“The space fills fast, the service is gracious, and the whole experience feels like a quiet flex,” the list said. “Come hungry, leave enchanted — and possibly a little spoiled for sushi anywhere else.”

Still in the top 10, Seoul Prime, a Korean steakhouse in Falls Church, came in at No. 5.

“The team behind Honest Grill kicks the Korean steakhouse concept up several notches with original creations that taste every bit as fantastic as they sound,” the list reads.

Virginia Square’s Carbonara, which received a recent visit from former President Joe Biden, landed at the No. 8 spot.

“This is one Italian destination where it’s best to keep an open mind and choose the chef’s latest edible innovation,” the list said.

The list did not rank eateries outside the top 10, but a map of all the Arlington and Falls Church restaurants is below.

The magazine’s critics appear to hold different opinions from departing Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema, whose Top 40 restaurants across D.C, Maryland and Virginia featured only two Arlington eateries.

Ruthie’s All-Day made it on both lists, but Greek eatery Our Mom Eugenia in Shirlington — which Sietsema noted as one of the spots he lands “most frequently” — did not.

“Mom’s everywhere/every day approach contributes to food that oozes comfort,” Sietsema wrote.

Sietsema’s list also included two Falls Church eateries, though only one was featured on NoVA Magazine’s list.

Nue: Elegantly Vietnamese, in Falls Church, also drew acclaim from Sietsema, while the veteran critic additionally highlighted Banh Mi Oi, which opened in Eden Center earlier this year.

“It’s easy to pinpoint among the many Vietnamese options at Eden Center,” Sietsema wrote. “There’s probably a line in front of Bánh Mì Oi.”

The former Chief of Schools in Falls Church will lead City of Fairfax Schools starting in December.

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — At Monday night's regular meeting, the City of Fairfax School Board announced that it will be appointing Dr. Dustin Wright as the new superintendent, effective Dec. 1. He will succeed former Superintendent Jeff Platenberg, who retired in July.

Wright has more than 20 years of leadership experience. After starting his career at Rachel Carson Middle School, he served as assistant principal at Fairfax Villa Elementary School and the city’s Daniels Run Elementary School. He went on to become the principal at Olde Creek Elementary School and Franklin Middle School, before taking on division-level roles, including executive director of strategy and planning for Fairfax County Public Schools and, most recently, chief of schools for Falls Church City Public Schools. He holds a Ph.D. in educational leadership from George Mason University and has served as an adjunct professor.

Wright and his wife, city residents for the past 17 years, have three children and are active members of the City community.

“As a city resident and city student parent, Dr. Wright understands our schools as a community member, neighbor, and educator,” said Carolyn Pitches, school board chair. “Throughout his career, Dustin has been recognized for his collaborative approach, his ability to bring coherence to complex systems, and his deep commitment to the success of every student. He is known as an innovative systems-thinker, a trusted partner to school leaders, and a visible, approachable leader who listens deeply and acts decisively. His leadership has been guided by a clear sense of mission: that education has the power to transform lives, families, and entire communities."

“I’m honored to serve the City of Fairfax and give back to the community that has shaped my family,” said Wright. “My focus is clear: advance elementary renovations, support student success in every school, and strengthen partnerships with families, staff, and City leaders. In the months ahead, I’ll listen across the City of Fairfax Schools community to learn from our successes and understand our challenges as we move Fairfax forward.”
