The hours posted on google are not accurate. They aren’t open on Tuesdays and on Saturdays they’re not open at 10am. Please fix this!“

“My son and husband LOVED their food! My son got a special roll box and he ate all the different sushi. My husband got a poke bowl and he ate the whole thing and said he’d love to order another to take home. The staff were very nice and we would definitely return“

“I have always liked this restaurant very much. I often come here to eat. The special price for lunch here is very favorable. The food is very large and delicious. Recently, the environment of the restaurant has changed a lot. A lot of beautiful decorations have been added. The service is still as good as ever. Give me a good dining experience. I will come here often.“

“Bar none the best sushi in Howard county. We’ve been steadies there for 15 plus years. Only wish we’d discovered it sooner. Highly recommend!!!“

“Great food and awesome staff.“

“Every time I am in the area for work, I come here for a couple of rolls. Since I have been in the area a lot, I started marking which rolls I have had & liked, treating the roll like like Pokémon, 'got to eat them all'. So far the only rolls I didn't like were ones with ingredients or cooking methods that I am not a fan of. Two of the specialty rolls are usually enough food for me since when eating in you get a small bowl of soup, a small appetizer roll, and a piece of cake. I have been going here for about 4 years now and will recommend this place to anyone in the area.“

“I've only ordered through doordash so I can only speak to the quality of the food, but the food is easily a 5 star. The prices are the same a cheap sushi restaurants, but the food quality is really really good. I think they even provide real wasabi.“

“just got ENGAGED!!!Oh and dinner was great too“

“If you like udon soup, you must try this place! Best udon I’ve had in Maryland. Shumai is great too - fresh and didn’t taste too fishy. Sushi (Kani tempura) is not the best but man, this udon is to die for 👌🏽“

“We had miso soup, salad, sushi, and sashimi, and it was all amazing. Very clean. Excellent service. Highly recommend!“

“My son wanted to try a new local sushi restaurant, while I was visiting him in Columbia. This place was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. The staff was top notch. I'm sure my son will be returning there and I'll go anytime I'm in town“

“Great food Fellowship Great Bartender Great Atmosphere“

“Honestly, was not expecting much from my visit here, but I was genuinely surprised! Good food, good price, typical grab and go sort of place, but the value for the money was very good, and the food quality was much better than I was expecting.“

“Good sushi 🍣 and hibachi food“

“We have been going to Yuki Sushi since they first opened. The food is wonderful. We like to try new things. Tonight the Owings Mills Roll was wonderful as was the Spicy Seafood Ramen. Great Restaurant, it will become one of your favorite places for dinner.“

“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! 🍣✈️“

“Ruth was fantastic!! She made our two year anniversary special by being attentive just because - She didn’t even know we were celebrating anything. We ordered happy hour dishes, which were mostly your standard - but the oysters had an Asian flare to them and were prepped so they were nice and easy to eat. Maryland roll and Scallop roll were amazing, and every Sashimi we had (Amberjack, yellowtail, bluefin tuna) were some of the most delicious and fresh sashimi I’ve ever had. We will definitely be coming back!! (The dessert was also super cute & Delicious)“

“This is one of our reliable Go To choices for quick dinner. The food is good and fast. There is usually a table because most people take out. It's clean and everyone is friendly without being weird.

Honestly , if you think about the archetype of a takeaway hibachi place this is what you're thinking about.

I've also never had a problem with allergies here even when I forget to mention i can't eat pork or shellfish so you know they do food safety just as a habit.“

“Everything. Their food is delicious, their service is fantastic everything about Katana is great“

“Great food, family friendly, attentive service, convenient parking.“

“Their services is great.“
