There is a *very* special section far down below for businesses that charge customers a mandatory service fee APART from a tip. This forces the customer to do the EMPLOYER’S job of keeping their employees paid (on top of a tip). At least that’s what we truly hope the service fee goes towards. I have to pay a fee for them bringing me the food I am paying AND tipping for? Predatory! Just bake everything into the price and I’ll decide when I look at the menu if I’d like to pass or not!

Other things to note: my soft crab roll was breaded so much with so little crab actually inside that when I bit into it I thought I had ordered a toast roll. It was deep fried so long I was basically crunching on white rice and crispy bread with a hint of crab flavor. Horrid. I left 6/8 rolls on the plate because I couldn’t force it anymore. To their credit, they removed it from my bill.

My experience today was disappointing, and that’s me putting it nicely. There are far better sushi options in Baltimore city that don’t sneak hidden, predatory fees into your bill. I won’t be back!

Not actual Japanese cuisine 😩

Super mid...miso soup tasted like they made it with paste or powder. The Nassau roll was just ok. I asked for the Crispy Duck breast and was informed they were all out. It was Sunday at 4pm...underwhelmed to say the least.

The food was delicious. The seaweed salad was very fresh, Tokyo roll was very spicy but very good. Service was wonderful, lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.

TL;DR: Very tasty; lovely ambiance/music/design; kind and attentive service

We got edamame, miso soup, shumai, hot sake, and shared 1 Nassau and 1 Spicy 2-in-1 Roll

Excellent for the sushi, sake, sauces, and soup (did I order this series of meals for alliteration’s sake? Did I use “sake” as a pun? Who can say)

I thought the edamame was MAAAAYBE a little under salted and over cooked. Emphasis on “a little”

Man this place is beautiful. I personally deplore TVs in restaurants because I find them hypnotic, but those aside it’s a super lovely atmosphere.

Would have taken pictures but devoured the food too quickly.

Highly recommend!

Absolutely repulsive ! I've never had worse Sushi in my 30 years of life . Never have I ever wasted a dollar so disgustingly . I've never knew you could make a spicy tuna roll nasty . Then another specialty roll that taste like wet cardboard Like a roll of cotton balls that sat in the fridge absorbing moisture from fish and cheesecakes 🤢🤮

Also it should not take 30 minutes to roll to sushi rolls and there's 2 designated men at the Sushi station . Smh clearly I'll never be back .

Stopped here for a quick bite, sat at the bar with my partner. It took a while to move every step, from ordering to closing the tab. It wasn’t very crowded inside but I could tell they were slammed with takeout orders and noticed many people waiting a while for that. Certainly seemed short staffed. From sitting at the bar it took about 20+ minutes to get an order of seaweed salad that we ordered as an app.

However, the food was great. Fresh, plentiful, and tasty. Very unique special rolls which I’d like to try more of. And staff were generally pleasant.

There’s a lot going on inside — it’s super bright, the decor makes little sense, stacked bar, too much music and clutter. Kinda reminded me of an airport restaurant.

I enjoy the lunch specials here. I really appreciate the fact that the salad has actual greens in it and not just iceberg lettuce! Shrimp tempura rolls are excellent, katsu is quite good too.

Lunch service is almost always fast, the specials are well priced, and the food is tasty, especially the hot and sour soup.

Decent sushi in the Rotunda complex. They seem to do mainly takeout, in part because the modern decor and higher ceilings don't create a very cozy atmosphere. There's a full bar, and the staff are efficient but seem to be overworked at times.

I ordered three types of tuna sushi and it is the best sushi I have had in a long time. I would highly recommend it.
