25 Best Japanese Restaurants in Baltimore

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

“10s across the board. I wish I had photos to show. I always eat my food before thinking of photos. I have ordered several dishes by door dash or walk in and you're always greeted, the atmosphere is clean and vibrant. The food is AMAZING ! SOOOOO fresh ! I usually get miso soup or Yum Yum soup. I've tried 3 sparking freshers thus far. AMAZING ! THE BEST dish I've had thus far was the teriyaki beef bowl. I couldn't get enough !! I have to have something from here at least once to twice a week. Especially the soups since it's cold out. You WON'T be disappointed 😁“

“Great place for sushi. we loved it“

“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!“

“Had a fabulous time at Azumi. We made an easy reservation here and pulled up to the restaurant. Street parking can be tricky but the restaurant sits in front of the harbor so you get lovely view of sunset with your meal. They have a great underground type of ambience when you walk in: dark, moody, and with a Japanese saying over the back of the bar in neon lights (Something about a getting a baby tiger?). The drinks menu is amazing if you love anime because of the naming conventions. We all got a mocktail and wow. Excellent. The void is the best mocktail I've ever had despite my hesitancy over it saying white miso. I had the toro roll and chicken thigh, my sibling got the chirasi, and my friend the salmon and avocado roll. Whoever prepared the chirashi requires regular worship and praise because the presentation, fish quality, and cut were masterfully done with a “melt in your mouth finish.” My food was great. It is pricey but you are not just paying for vibes. You will enjoy your food!“

“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.“

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

“Today the cashier helped me download app so I could join rewards & it saved me $5.00 which is awesome. She explained the stamp card reward ends after they honor my current card which is 1-meal away from a free one. She is always helpful, smart, kind & caring about customers need to save & be rewarded. I will now scan the app each time I come in. Thank You Nancy...you're the best!“

“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 ^-^“

“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.“

“Hidden gem in Fells Point / Harbor East — one of the best sushi spots in Baltimore right now.

Everything tasted fresh. The garlic edamame and jalapeño roll were a great start. The Japanese sushi rice was incredible, and both the poke bowl and sushi burrito were packed with flavor.

Friendly staff with great recommendations, and a modern but relaxed atmosphere — perfect date night. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“
