“I finally found AMAZING sushi in the Baltimore area! I’ve returned 3 weeks in a row to Naru. Their salmon sashimi is the freshest I’ve had in the States, and their rolls are terrific. Naru Sushi is part of the BeSeTo food court, with 3 Chinese, Korean, and Japanese restaurants and a marketplace downstairs. The ambiance is casual and relaxed. I've only tried the Japanese place, but the food court is always packed, and all the food looks great!“
“We frequent this place as it’s the closest to our neighborhood. The service is very friendly always. The food is good quality and made with good quality ingredients. The inside of the restaurant is a bit too cold, but that’s my only gripe. If you carry out your food, my only piece of advice is to get it right away. Don’t let it sit too long or it won’t be as tasty :)“
“We booked a private room for our daughter's birthday. The service was excellent (very pleasant). The sushi and sashimi was so tasty. I enjoyed the red bean mochi. They brought an ice cream platter and sang happy birthday too. Also the clientele was very kind and wished our daughter Happy Birthday on the way out as well. Great experience!“
“This is our family favorite japanese restaurant. We always go about twice a month. The food is awesome. We love sushi rice as it has tasted by itself. Sashimi comes with a wonderful premium grade and fresh. We never had bad experience with fish which is some of the restaurants may have like smell fishy or not fresh.Cheesecake on the house is the best and represent how kind of service.Really enjoy it everything and every time we spend there.“
“Wonderful restaurant! The owner is so kind and the sushi is amazing! They do salmon belly in the Baltimore Roll, which I've never had before but I will crave it every time I come home to Maryland! Great rolls and great other stuff too!!!“
“This spot's noodles were highly touted and rightfully so. These are among the best noodles I've had in my life.I've been three times and the noodles are consistently the highlight. On one occasion my proteins were dry which is why it's "only" four stars but it's looking like that was an isolated incident.The service was exceptional. The lady at the counter and her little girl were adorable together as they took my order. I don't know if it's a ploy to get a bigger tip out of me but it worked.I'd highly recommend visiting Kokoyami when you're in the Windsor Mill/ Catonsville area.“
“This place has one heck of an atmosphere! Walls are decorated to make the place look as Japanese as possible. TV was on, playing a Japanese TV network. The restaurant had a visible food preparation area where the sushi chefs enthusiastically did their work. Restaurant did not pinch pennies on the waiters' and chefs' uniforms. The restaurant is on the corner of a row of several adjacent buildings and I liked their use of their window space. Once you open the door, the entrance is well-decorated, too. The podium the host stands behind is oddly situated, but they are making their best use of a small space, so no points taken off. The restroom was clean. I ordered escolar, toro, orata, and chicken katsu. All more than acceptable quality. I did not like the katsu sauce, but I think that's just a personal preference matter. They threw in some extra food- tuna in a circular configuration with some other elements I couldn't figure out- which I guess worked, since I'm here, writing this five-star review! Plates were high-quality, and designed to make the food more presentable.“
“Food:The sushi here is so good. It's some of the best I've had since moving to Baltimore. My favorite (so far) is the R (Roll) Lewis. The unagi and soft shell crab are also wonderful.Service:The server was attentive, never letting our water run out. Our food came out quickly, and the extra roll we ordered before we left arrived fast and packaged well.Atmosphere:We didn't get to see the whole restaurant, as we sat near the entrance. The chair felt a bit uncomfortable. But other than that, the atmosphere was pleasant and inviting.“
“FOODIE ALERT: Go! Wine list could use some help, but who cares when the quality of the fish and inventiveness of the dishes is too notch. The fish was outstanding.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of roles made for vegans and vegetarians“
“From a takeout perspective, ordered the 20 piece sushi dinner but I think there was a mix up and we got 20 pieces of sashimi instead. Didn't realize until we got home. Sashimi was good but the sushi was a win.When dining, it's a casual small restaurant with a casual ambiance. Appears often busy and well located. The miso and clear soup are fresh and hot. Would recommend the sunset sushi roll. Vegetarian options were less thrilling.“
“Have been going there for years, family agrees out of all the local Asian Cuisine one feels the most authentic!Every time all the time the same dishes for us but that's and we aren't brave enough to try something different because they just always do the dishes we like to justice.Pickled cabbage, Beef Casselrole, Fried Squid, Chowfun, and a few others!You also don't find many places owing up to their mistakes and apologizing to the customer. Today they made the wrong order and per courtesy gave it without charge and gave our actual order!“
“Can't comment on the sushi since I didn't order any. Service was okay and prices were reasonable. The only thing I could complain about was the same person that seated us, took our orders and was bartending. The service could have been a little bit better but it wasn't horrible. When I asked if the drinks on their menu were for rail drinks she seemed very confused. I asked her what vodka they carried that was above Smirnoff grade. When I walked over to the bar I found her taking a photo of a bottle of Absolute Vodka. I asked her to show me the vodkas. I wish she would have told me she wasn't an experienced bartender. I wasn't trying to make her job any harder.I will definitely go back.“
“We were the only customers when we went on a Tuesday about 7. But the owners were wonderful at helping us with their recommendations on the menu. We settled on a few sushi rolls and bulgogi with Tera beers all around. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The bulgogi was definitely a top cut of beef in a spectacular sauce. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. Please patronize this place.“

“By far the best food and service you will get dining at BWI. The rolls are all freshly made and better quality than you will get at most sushi restaurants. The servers are attentive and you can actually get service quickly, unlike most airport restaurants. A variety of high quality sake options, as well as Japanese beers.“
“Don't come at me for liking this place. Yes it's expensive. Yes the view of the lake is nice and calming. Yes the servers aren't Japanese even if it's a Japanese restaurant. Yes it's right near Whole Foods which is probably part of why it's expensive. In comparison to the other sushi restaurants in the area, I think this place has enough ambiance things going on to justify the price. Also where else am I going to get eel avocado with that much green on it and thickly sliced eel? Salmon sashimi (ate it too quick) was thick, melt in the mouth, and delicious. Tempura udon was pretty good too. Went here for lunch and will probably be back!“
“Have been coming here since the first week they opened. Love this place! I love their lunch! So quick and so delicious! I’m not a big drinker, but their liquor selection as well as the drink menu looks quite promising. Another major thing is their costumer service! I feel the costumer service is so much better compared to the place across the street. If you are local, you know who I’m talking about!“
“Staff was excellent also the chefs are alot of fun to watch prepare my food and talk with,The food and management was 10 out 10.Strongly recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: Allergic to avocados totally AccommodatedI am not a vegetarian....“
“Food was delicious and the service was super good. Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere where you can enjoy a good conversation. Definitely a good place to enjoy some quality sushi with friends and family~! Highly recommend it! Owings Mills roll was really good~“
“I like eating here and any of the other branches of Sushi Q because you always know what you're gonna get if you dine in: miso soup, sushi, and a small cheesecake dessert in a consistently clean/ minimalist space. It's not the fanciest sushi in the area, but sometimes I just want to eat a whole bunch of eel avocado roll and that's what I can get here fresh and affordable. I like to dabble here and there with some of their specialty rolls, but they do my favorite kind so well. Service is scientifically efficient and food can take a little while to prepare, but I'm not usually in a big rush. There's always a line out the door for online/mobile orders. When dining in, there's hardly ever a wait even though it can get crazy busy during dinner. They also have good lunch specials here. We will be back for more.“
“The ambiance at the restaurant was delightful. We opted for Ramen, but unfortunately, my veg Ramen was overlooked, likely due to the large order ? Upon realizing the oversight, the server apologized and kindly offered Macha ice cream. I particularly like the veg tempura sweet potato roll. All in all, it was a satisfying dining experience.“
“It's been a long time since I've been to Aloha Sushi in Baltimore, since before the pandemic. decided to try them for lunch and the experience was good! apparently the sushi roller, Rajesh, is back, after they changed management. I had the lunch special for the Salmon roll, the tuna role and the Boston roll! it was good and hit the spot. definitely coming back for a date, Mount Vernon is one of my favorite spots.“
“So decided to stop and grab a bite while out shopping on my birthday. It's pretty much a self service restaurant. It has 2 stations to use to order and pay. The only drawback for me was not all items were explained as to what they were. Otherwise, it's definitely a game changer. The space is limited. The ramen was and tempura was very good though. Will definitely be back.“
“This place is amazing! If you are looking for delicious sushi, friendly, helpful service, this is where you should go. I got a New York Roll, which is filled with fresh salmon, tuna, and white fish, avocado, cucumbers and topped with caviar. I also got an eel roll that has huge pieces of eel in it. Not only does everything taste great, but it's also a great value. I like that they have ready to quick grab sushi in the case or I can custom order. That's why I keep going back!“
“Awesome experience! I had super hot and gooey takoyaki, had a great bowl of udon with a very rich broth (off menu too, was offered by the server), and was given a complementary chilled cinnamon tea for desert. The server and staff was incredibly friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the “
“The best thing we had here was the Combination Seafood Jhim. Very good variety of seafood and enormous portion. The leftovers were good for numerous meals afterwards. Great variety of banchan as well. The BBQ was very good and I enjoyed the different sauces they had, but I would say it was about on par with the Korean BBQ around where we live in MoCo. Same with the Japchae, although I will say the meat portion was noticeably better here.The only negative here was the service wasn't perfect. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday evening and the waitresses were working very hard. They mostly took care of us very well but there was an order of water that never came, as well as a refill of banchan that never came. This was not the end of the world as we had the complimentary tea and the other food was more than enough, but this at least will make me reconsider coming back during peak times.Overall, I would recommend this place and the Combination Seafood Jhim was worth the drive from MoCo.“
“Pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff. They also serve vegetarian dishes and will veganize (omit egg, mayonnaise, fish) your food upon request.Some months ago, my family visited Sushi Sakura for lunch and ordered Japanese Vegetable Fried Rice, Vegetable Lo Mein, Cucumber Avocado Rolls and more. Everything was tasty!“
“In my opinion, this is the best sushi in Maryland. Incredible quality, wonderful service, and a very laid-back setting. Every time I go to a different sushi restaurant, I always end up wishing i was here instead. All the staff are very nice and welcoming, and the service is always pretty quick. If you're just looking for great sushi without all the frills, this is the perfect place for you.“
“I've been here twice now and will be back because of the affordable quality nigiri and prime location by the water. The restaurant itself has a cozy vibe, not too fancy. That's fine-- I'm all about food over ambiance if given the choice between the other. I am a sushi enthusiast (gimme the omakases!) and was hankering for some fresh wasabi, but I guess they don't offer that here. The service is alright. The first time around, I sat on the mats with a friend (pretty neat that they offer that, I've only seen it in a few izakaya style restaurants). The waitress was nice but felt like the timing was off for when we wanted certain things (ordering, receiving food, receiving the bill). The second time around, I sat at the sushi bar and was able to be helped more promptly and in a pattern that made more sense to me. The sushi chefs were friendly and willing to answer any questions I had.As far as food goes, the aburi toro is phenomenal! 3 large chunks of flame-seared toro marinated in a citrusy umami sauce for $20.The rockfish is topped with a spicy orange garnish that adds a great little kick. The salmon belly is quality. You can tell by how fresh, vibrant, and near-translucent they look. It's also my favorite nigiri! The tuna belly was good, not as marbled as I'd like, but still good. Thick, juicy portions.I'd pass on the yellowtail belly, it wasn't quite as melty-in-your-mouth as the tuna belly and salmon belly. Can you tell I love the bellies? Try them out for yourself“
“Good Day Everyone,I have come to this place twice since it opened. The place was clean and smelled wonderful. Every employee was nice and greeted me with a smile. The food I purchased was hot and delicious!! I recommend this place 100%. If you are a sushi lover, I fell in love with the Chesapeake roll, and definitely recommend it.“
“This place is a great find. The food was delicious and the service was good. The curries were actually spicy, tasted unique, and have different ingredients based on the type of curry you ordered. The curry was not watered down or made into a gravy, it was just right. My review only gets 4 stars overall because the chicken satay appetizer and rice portion that came with the curry was small relative to the prices on the menu.“

“We were searching for a late dinner place on a Friday night and saw this new Korean BBQ soft opening and decided to try it. We were so delighted with the food, the service and the kindness they showed us even though it was already late and almost closing time! Our waiter, Chris, was very kind and attentive to our table and continued to offer more Banchans whenever we would eat up any of those delicious side dishes. We ordered the combination which already included beef and pork cuts, so we got to taste both meats. One very unique and new for us in a Korean BBQ place is the green sauce. Whatever it is, it was delicious, a little spicy but very good. Chris also offered to bring us the traditional sesame oil sauce which is a must! He also offered more lettuce every time we would eat up the bunch. I really appreciate that they did not even rush us, even though it was very late. Definitely going to be one of my new favorite places for a family dinner! I do have one suggestion to the management: change the cut of the pork belly into thinner slices. Pork needs to be cook more well done than beef, especially pork belly. The thick slices take too long to cook on the inside. Anyways, we are definitely coming back here!“
“My family & friends get on me about being a neat freak borderline germaphobe- this place has been immaculate each visit. Service is A1.I always get the salmon lover extra spicy-it’s absolutely delicious. Maybe I’ll get a different dish next visit. I’m sure it’ll be great too. Try them & thank me in your head later, lol.“
“this is one of my favorite spots in baltimore for good sushi- great service, reasonable prices, and overall great food. its never super loud or busy inside, which is nice to have a good relaxing meals. it's a staple in our lunch rotation.“
“Katana Sushi of Elkridge was amazing. The sushi was super fresh and very tasty. I’ve tried the other sushi restaurants in the area and around Columbia and I like Katana more, they really impressed me. I also really liked their customer service and how pleasant they were. Highly recommend them. All the rolls were delicious!“
“My husband and I ate lunch at this place and we liked it very much. We were warmly welcomed, the place is pleasant and cozy. The food came out quite quickly and the flavor was tasty. The portions of the meals are quite generous. We were able to eat half of it and take each other. With our eyes closed, we recommend this place.?❤️“
“Eaten here a few times and really like the food. The prices are reasonable. Although with many other restaurants, prices seem to have gone up and portions have stayed the same. My go to was the steak and scallops and it doesn't disappoint, but the price is a little steep and have to save for special occasion.“
“The food was really fresh and delicious. The ambiance was lovely. They were very friendly and welcoming too! I wish I could give them 6 stars. Exceptional service for a cute little spot. Get some of the calamari, best in the area! And the prices were great.“
“Rainbow Sushi2: Sushi is out of this world delightful and delicious! Modest prices and oh so tasty!!! Located within Lotte Grocery store in Catonsville. Don’t forget to check out and pay for your sushi at the sushi counter! Not at the checkout at the front of the store! This is so delicious that I would prefer to come here instead of a sushi bar or restaurant!“
