“Wonderful sushi in the heart of old Ellicott city! Several rooms to dine in. The top back of the restaurant is the best, they play jazz music and there's a beautiful view of the river with the sun setting out the window. The sushi and apps we had were phenomenal and I will definitely be going back! Our server was very personable and I enjoyed her very much!“
“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!“
“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 restaurant offers a variety of options that cater to most taste buds. The food is reasonably priced and service is good. I came here to celebrate a family member’s birthday and the service was excellent. Our server, Brenden, made some great recommendations and ensured our food came out on time. We ordered the dumplings, chicken steam bun, cloud shrimp and fried chicken (Karaage) as appetizers. All were very great. We also ordered the Taipei Curry Chicken ramen, Brontosaurus bowl, Brussels & Squash, shrimp and pork belly steam buns as our entrees; all were filling and delicious. I think the curry chicken ramen could use more depth flavors; I added chili oil and mushrooms which were good additions. I also wish the chicken in the ramen was different than the chicken thighs offered as an appetizer. It made me feel like I was eating the same protein for my appetizer and entree.They have a nice drink menu; we all ordered the Last Samurai; which was tasty. I wish it came in a larger glass.I was disappointed they ran out of the miso cooking dessert but I’m looking forward to returning to try it. All in all; I would return. It’s a nice and cozy spot. They have an area where you can sit and watch the kitchen make the food as you dine.Parking: Parking can be scarce during busy times but there is street parking“
“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.“
“I’ve been coming to this place since 2015, so shame on me for just reviewing it! I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! Even though I’ve been getting the same thing since 2015 and they know it’s me when I order, it’s always great. Their fried rice is amazing. The staff treats you like your family. Did I mention I love this place! I have never and will never try another Sushi Q2! I don’t want to ruin my experience!!“
“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.“
“❤️I just wanna say our server Myatt is sooo nice! Even it was quite busy and she needed to take care of many tables at the same time, she still kept trying to take good care of our food and drinks, keeping eyes on our table and helping take away of the trash and empty plates almost every single second.❤️the food here was also amazing !【meat】Prime Kalbi short-rib?????beef tongue?????yakiniku????Harami skirt steak???Pork belly???Filet mignon????【salad】Gyu-Kaku Salad????【desert】LadyM Green tea Cake????【drink】Coconut flavor cocktails ?❤️the ambiance here is awesome !its a really good place for friends, family or couples to come and enjoy together, u can experience cooking the meat by urself, and it's very easy, all u just need to manage the time when cooking different kinds of meat.last but not least, it literally deserves a try. ?“
“**KIDS LOVED IT**Reasonably priced, the children loved the fried rice, good wonton soup, delicious gyoza, enjoyed my sushi, kids loved the Rumi drink… and candy. We will be back.Kid-friendliness: It’s a nice family atmosphere where you don’t have to be afraid to take your kids.“
“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.“
“Perfect location for some comfort ramen!! Located literally right next to John’s Hopkins University, Kajiken is ideal for students, visitors, locals who are craving a savory, hot meal. The noodles are made in house and the veggies taste so fresh!! The broth was heart warming and the ambience isn’t loud and distracting, but not library quiet so having a meal with friends would be perfect!“
“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!“
“Nice little cozy place inside a strip mall. Plenty of parking in front! When we arrived at 7:30 pm on Thursday night, they were full! A man came and told us that we should have a table in about 5 minutes and invited us to sit in their waiting area. True enough, about 5 minutes later we were seated. My kids had the sushi regular plate--7 pieces nigiri and a California roll, plus miso soup. I ordered pairs of nigiri and a veggie roll off the sushi menu. Miso soup was fine; I felt it was a tad saltier than it should be and I also thought the tofu should've been larger pieces of softer tofu, but like I said, it was fine. The nigiri were very good. The fish was excellent--very fresh and not at all "fishy", buttery tender. I felt the rice grains in the nigiri maybe was a little too firm and also was packed a little too tightly, but it was ok. The veggie roll was a little too sweet but ok otherwise. Overall I would say the quality of the fish definitely makes this a go to place for sushi. Also, the environment inside was very warm and friendly. The customers and the employees were all very friendly. A group of women were happily singing happy birthday to themselves, there were numerous tables of joyful families and friends, and at one point an older man started performing on his harmonica. Would definitely come back!“

“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.“
“I have never been let down by the crew at Quickway Timonium. Every time we order food, it is delicious. I now order on line and pick it up on the way. They are fast and very polite. The sushi is also good and a nice treat. I have only tried the hibachi meals, not the bento box yet. I'm addicted to the beef and shrimp hibachi combo with fried rice and veggies. The flavor is just too good!!! Parking is busy in this lot because Starbucks is next door, so just take it slow and be careful. This place is worth the hassle though.“
“Good food but my friend and I felt rushed as the woman hostess kept asking if we were done twice when we visibly had food still on our plates. Nice atmosphere and good sushi just need to be mindful of rushing customers especially when it’s not “

“The food was really good, and the presentation of the sushi clearly showed the effort put into preparing the dish. The quality of the sushi was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the tuna, which was super fresh and buttery; it was just amazing. Additionally, the price was pretty reasonable; I paid about $40 for what is shown in the photo. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the types of fish, which is important because different areas of the fish taste different.“
“This place is great. Staff is friendly and food is excellent. I did pick up tonight and I don't think it's any different for pick up then it is for in house service. Noodles and rice for little ones if they haven't been introduced to the Asian cuisine. A little bit of a drive for me to p/u but worth it.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible at drop off. Most parking is at the bottom of the hill. Worth it though!“
“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~“
“Overall great experience, used to get their lunch boxes about once a week. Not much else to say, there are somethings that I don't particularly like from their menu but those are preferential.Kid-friendliness: Small front of house, but should be fine. However I would advise to think twice for particularly rowdy kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible. Single (ground) floor, has tables where the chairs could be moved out of the way.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 :)“
“Our daughter loves sushi and this is her absolute favorite sushi restaurant. We’ve been here a number of times and the staff is always amazing, as is the food. Today was my daughter’s 5th birthday and when we asked her where she wanted to go for dinner, she told us Mizu Sushi. I’m pretty sure she’d make us take her there every day for their Philly roll and miso soup if she could. Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. Just wonderful. (Also, my favorite is their Maryland roll. It’s soooooo good!)“
“The food is exceptional, although it can be found looking up Chinese food, it's Japanese American hibachi style food. It's the only "Chinese" my husband will eat. I am a little disappointed that they don't offer pork, but I do understand their reasoning. Would definitely recommend.“
“Don’t miss out on this gem! I would drive 45 min here for sushi 100%. Visited twice and both times food and service were excellent. Terrific attention to detail and great menu options. Did I mention I got 3 dishes for $26? Don’t go, run!“
“I got door dash. It was sooo yummy. I got the beef and shrimp with noodles rice and veggies. It's worth the upcharge, at least to me. Quite large portion. Also, I got some cooked rolls. I enjoyed it all. Enough to order the same exact thing a second time. It was more than enough for 2. Probably 3 easy! ** A trick I figured out for myself. Up to you, of course! I did get the dash pass for 9.99. It saved me more than the price I would have paid. I canceled afterwards but still got the perks for a month, which saved me even more in the long run.** The 3 bucks off was a discount from them, from their point system. DOORDASH did get me on the tip part. I wanted to give them $10. Please always tip at least 18%. As a server, we count on that money. Very very much. Enjoy!!“
“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!“
“This place is so legit. I used to live in California and the thing I miss most is probably the poke out there. This is actually the same in terms of variety and quality. Kind of wish I hadn’t discovered Poke Bowl because now I’m going to crave it pretty often.“
“I love this place so much! Fresh sushi right by the waterfront, what more could you ask for? I also get the miso soup everytime, which is delicious and flavorful. The ambiance is great, especially with the beautiful views of the waterfront. Service is prompt and friendly, though the place can get somewhat crowded during peak times (Friday & Saturday evenings).“
“The food is always hot and fresh and isn’t greasy like a lot of places are. The owners/staff are always very very friendly. This is my go to place for Chinese food. I drive 30+ mins because it’s that good! Their vegetable egg rolls are my FAVORITE! And the roasted pork fried rice is so good too!“
“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.“
“Since the 'pandemic' the Dine-In is no longer an option. However they do such a good job & are so well liked the joint is jumping. Regardless of your liking Sushi, Thai, Chinese or Japanese dishes all of them are done well, w/o breaking the bank. . . you just got to go home and eat cuz their dining-room is closed.“
“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.“
“Ikkyu is inside Lotte's food court and is my favorite choice out of the 4 restaurants inside! Tonkatsu 10/10- crispy, lots of sauce- comes with rice, pasta salad with cucumbers, a side salad, pickled yellow radish, and a small bowl of miso soup - they used to also give kimchi but I guess they updated the menu Once you order, they'll call your order name/number on the intercom once it's finished. Service is relatively quick!“
“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!“
“Just want local folks of Ellicott City to know that Niko’s is open for carryout/takeout. We celebrated my birthday by getting sushi and meals from Nikos. As usual their sushi is fantastic with an outstanding what I call fish to rice ratio. Please support your local restaurants. Thank you“
“I go here for lunch all the time because they're oddly the most affordable lunch option given the surrounding area. But over the weekend I hosted some friends and got a platter and it was immaculate. This is literally the best sushi spot in the area. Everything is fresh, if you're not into the "raw" aspect of sushi but would like to give it a try, everytime the fish tastes fresh, feels fresh and they're not stingy with providing adequate portions per roll. I'm never disappointed, even with their apps and entrees. Me Personally I enjoy the Salmon & Yellowtail because they're the more flavorful fish to me, but it's all yummy. Not to mention they had my order ready on time! I can't say enough good things about Edo Mae!“
“This place is good. I dont really want to tell people so it doesn't become too busy. But i also want them to do good so they stay in buisness. One of the last places that deliver and not through a lousy 3rd party with extra fees and higher prices. People on the phone are always nice and easy to easy to talk to and understand. It's definitely my go-to Chinese food place.“
“I came with my family and we loved it.We got Crab Rangoon as appetizer.For Entrees we got Orange chicken, steak teriyaki, spicy chicken lo mein, and spicy beef lo mein. For dessert got a Mochi and Fried Oreos. Food was delicious. Service was great. All Halal.Will be coming again.Dietary restrictions: Halal menu“
