“Cloud Shrimp - Juicy shrimp fried in potato starch, served w Kimchi-kewpie Mayo“

“Great place for sushi. we loved it“

“Everyone here is so nice! My car broke down in front of the restaurant and they were fine with us waiting inside, out of the cold, until AAA could come out. We were there for a while and stayed for dinner. Food was amazing and they were great about gluten-free options. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you for your kindness to a Baltimore visitor with car trouble!!

“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!)“

“Been here twice and the food was fantastic each time!“

“It genuinely felt nice here! The food was excellent, the staff were fast, and kind! One complaint though, its a bit cold. I feel bad for the workers that are wearing literal t-shirts!
Also bonus point because the little mascot looks like Firey from BFDI
TWO APPROVED!“

“Sushi here is top tier and so is the ambience. I stopped in on a busy weekday. This place was packed. My friend and I ordered everything from the tuna tartare, chirashi bowl, Toyosu nigiri platter, seared otoro and the matchamisu dessert. This was plenty of food for 2 people. We loved the quality of fish and presentation here. The otoro cuts were definitely the highlight of the evening. Seared otoro tuna with endless amounts of shaved truffle on top. Definitely save some room for dessert as the matchamisu was a take on the tiramisu. The mascarpone, mango and matcha were a great combination.

The service here was great. Our servers were attentive and we enjoyed the variety of seafood, Asian fusion and even saw some hibachi items. Azumi is a great place to enjoy some cocktails, sushi or hibachi. I highly recommend booking reservations in advance. The bartender did let me know they have sushi making classes and tuna carving sessions throughout the month. I'll definitely be back to try some different cuts of fish and their sushi rolls.“

“Great service, fresh sushi & sashimi!“

“They have the BEST chicken teriyaki & Shrimp. They have great rice and noodles. They just have great food all around. The service is amazing the lady even asked if I wanted more sauce, FREE of charge. It was a go to quick stop with friends but the area isn't the best.“

“I ordered my meal through a delivery service. This was my first order from Quickway and I was very satisfied.The food was good and plentiful for a surprisingly good price. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Combo with rice & noodles and it was only about $12 and overflowing the container. A Spicy Crab and Shrimp Roll and the Shrimp Tempura were all a good size.The shrimp were good but soggy, probably due to the delivery time, I suspect they would be much better as an eat-in item. The roll was very good as well, but strangely warm. Maybe from sharing a bag with the hot foods.The star was the Chicken and Shrimp Combo with sides of rice and noodles. Deliciously prepared with a tasty sauce. The rice needed a little soy to give more flavor. The noodles were great. A huge meal that would have satisfied on it's own. (I ordered extra stuff because I was unfamiliar with the portions)“

“This place was pretty good, pretty big menu and lots of selections for sushi. My friend and I shared two orders of tempura rolls while I got shrimp and beef with fried rice and my friend got noodles. Everything was really good, came out pretty quick and good service. Very large portions for affordable price.“

“The food is good. I got just the basic teriyaki chicken, rice & vegetables. The people working here were very nice. The atmosphere is what you would expect for Japanese takeout. I'm not sure if I would try the sushi here. But I will definitely come back for a dinner platter! The restaurant seemed clean & organized. Free, but limited parking out front, but you can always park & walk from further away.“

“Best sushi I've ever had. Great prices.“

“If you ever find yourself at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), do yourself a favor and stop by Gachi Sushi across from Gate A9. I ordered the Triple Delight Roll, and it was incredible. It was beautifully presented, fresh, and packed with flavor. The avocado and spicy drizzle were perfectly balanced, and the textures were spot on. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, even in the middle of the busy terminal. Special shoutout to Budi, the general manager who’s been there for 14 years! His pride in the food and service truly shows. I’ll definitely be back. Whether you’re craving sushi before a flight or just looking for a great airport dining experience, Gachi Sushi is a must-try. Highly recommended! 🍣✈️“

“Excelente comida , y mucha variedad se los recomiendo mucho“

“Had the salmon and fish roe nigiri as apps. It was fresh and succulent, delicious indeed. Their chewy noodle special with pork belly was spectacular, would highly recommend. Small ish inside but have outside seating when weather allows. Quaint and pleasant experience.“

“Comfortable, fast, and tastes great.
Got a steak and chicken combo with fried rice for just over 10$ and I can say it was certainly well worth the price. I also got the order in under 5 minutes which I appreciated.
Completely satisfied ^-^“

“This sushi was the best I’ve had in all of Maryland. The fish was fresh (even on a Sunday), melt in your mouth, and incredibly flavorful. The albacore was my favorite. Definitely giving Azumi a run for its money. Everything was a great size. I’ll be back ASAP“

“if you have any time on your hands and you down that area I highly recommend it it's a good affordable place to eat at“

“I have eaten here several times over the last few years. The food is always amazing! Service is wonderful. I have eaten both upstairs and down. Great atmosphere. Takeaway is always just as delicious.“

“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.“

“My first time coming here and I love the food! would definitely come again for lunch.“

“Great sushi and great Chinese also at reasonable prices! I've been getting sushi at Sakura for a while but tonight we also got General Tso's and it was really good and the portion was huge! I dont think Sakura gets the street cred in Annapolis that it deserves- Its a cozy spot with great food and great views of downtown! Now I can't wait for our leftovers tomorrow!“

“A great local find! Great staff and really good Sushi!“

“This is my first time ordering from Mochi Teriyaki on Doordash. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Teriyaki with Lo Mein, they sent fried rice, shrimp teriyaki with fried rice, fried chicken wings with fries, and carrot cake. I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp teriyaki with fried rice, and the fried chicken wings were delicious. My sister wanted the lo mein noodles, so she wasn't happy because she doesn't like rice that much. The carrot cake didn't have the nuts and pineapple like most carrot cakes. It was just carrot. To be fair, I gave Mochi Teriyaki four stars because the food was very good.“
