10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Annapolis

“My wife and I lost power & heat before Christmas so we had to spend the holidays out of the house with our 5 week old daughter. We ate Christmas lunch/dinner at SHIKA sushi &ramen and it was awesome! They really saved the day for us. We are usually 4-6 rolls feasters so thought we’d just start with 3 and go from there. 3 was plenty! The rolls were massive and delicious. The service was great. Poor lady had to fill my water like 10 times. And they sealed the deal with a free piece of cheesecake! Entire meal came in about $50! Highly recommend you go check them out! Cheers!“

“Fresh and affordable sushi on beautiful Main Street. Really loved how you could substitute brown rice for your sushi rolls. The server was kind and efficient. Causal and hip vibe. I am gonna be dreaming of the sweet potato and cream cheese maki for a long long time.“

“delicious, great price and excellent customer service (thank you Kelly!!!)“

“The food and service is excellent. The wait staff is attentive. They gave us a free appetizer as a palate cleanser and free mini assorted cheesecake desserts. The sushi is awesome. My son had the TripleSushi Deluxe (soup, salad, and sushi were delicious). The rest of us ordered Paradise, Rock and Roll, Yama, and the Goldfish Rolls. All were fresh and tasted awesome. They also have sake, plum wine, and Japanese sodas. Yama Annapolis is a truly Japanese restaurant in food as well as culturally. A must dine while you’re in Annapolis.“

“Our experience was amazing here tonight. The staff was exceptional and super polite as well. The food was just a plus! We will definitely be back. Coming all the way from Colonial Beach, Virginia.“

“Excellent hospitality and food!!“

“Food is subpar and the only place I have ever encountered that makes you pay for any yum yum sauce. Most places give you a small cup with your meal then charge you for any extra…“

“Great sushi! The salmon roll and tuna roll both include avocado (not listed, but very appreciated) and there’s no markup on the price. In fact, it’s the cheapest, freshest tasting sushi I’ve had in Annapolis. Very surprising for food court sushi.

Oh, and it’s FAST! Can’t believe you can get sushi this good in 5 minutes flat.

I haven’t tried the spicy rolls, but if you like normal raw fish sushi, this is the best tasting and the best price.“

“Nagoya never disappoints.“

“I'm from NY/NJ and can be pretty critical of food from out of state. However, the food here exceeded my expectations. The service was above average and the atmosphere was great. I tried to visit again over Labor Day weekend, but it was packed and I know why! This is definitely a place I'll visit again when in town.“
