48 Best Japanese Restaurants near Beltsville

“I absolutely love this place, I eat here in the regular my favorite fried dumplings and sushi, but I just think 1 ingredient is missing in the rice that makes it sticky because the Shushi falls apart and I have to eat it with a fork instead of chop sticks but IT'S DELICIOUS!!!!! I will continue to eat here until the end of time ??“

“I work in Laurel and the Chinese restaurant closest to my job is disgusting. I wanted Chinese today and chose to go here due to the reviews. It's a 15 minute drive away but definitely worth it! Food is delicious, hot and came out fast. Very affordable as well. I've found my new Chinese spot!“

“Me and my family loved it 🥰“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

“Love this place immensely. Service was top notch and food is SO GOOD. I got the spicy salmon roll and the Ninja Turtle specialty roll and neither disappointed. Probably the best spicy salmon roll i’ve had, ever. Period hands down, no competition. Ambiance is great-standard sushi bar spot.
Will 1000% be back! I’m currently typing this as I finish my food. It’s that good—I couldn’t wait!“

“❤️ Oku. hits everytime. every 🍾 celebration we (my fam) head straightforward there.“

“We went for the summer restaurant week. You get a cold and a hot appetizer, assortment of sushi and a dessert. We opted for the soft shell crab and shabu shabu ramen, both were delicious and served hot out of the kitchen. Sushi is top quality and decadent of course. Hojicha pudding is uniquely toasty and silky.

Not all RW deals are worth going, but I’d recommend the selection at sushi taro for the quality and the value of the food.“

“I had a fantastic experience at SHŌTŌ Washington DC. The atmosphere was vibrant, with great music that added to the upscale yet inviting ambiance. The food was exceptional… beautifully presented and packed with flavor. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Definitely a place worth visiting for a great night out!“

“Had a really nice time upstairs with Ash as our bartender! Sooo sweet! My best friend andnI had a blast. 🩷🙌🏽“

“Outstanding performers and great food!“

“This is my favorite poke bowl place! The food and toppings are fresh and delicious! The fried tofu is so good. They have a small staff, so if it’s at all busy, you might have to wait a while. But it’s so worth it!

Vegetarian options: Fried tofu is a protein option“

“The place was small, cute, and charming. True mom and pop shop, the owners were so kind and doting. Tried the Bibimbap bowl and the mint lemonade and it did NOT disappoint. The owner and the cook herself, even mixed the Bibimbap for us. It felt like eating dinner at Grandma's house, and I can't wait to go back!“

“Had a Great time celebrating a friend’s birthday! Food is amazing, sushi is fresh! Good atmosphere! Owners are Super cool and really knows how to make their guests feel special. Kudos to the entire staff for the Great service. Highly recommend!“

“Went there to celebrate my birthday. Sushi was very fresh and perfectly prepared. The slices were excellent, which made the fish delicate, tender and without too much dark pieces which have more fishy taste, no tendons/skin/muscle to make it difficult to chew. It was a delightful experience! The amount of different fish/seafood species was surprising. A special place to go to celebrate, if you love sushi. We paired it with a nice bottle of Italian Sparkling, which was an excellent recommendation by our server.“

“Rooftop on the Marriott great atmosphere. The service was good with the chef coming out to greet everyone at their table. They have multiple heaters which was perfect after the sun went down. I had the portobello app, very tasty. Also had the Baked fish dish, good seafood variety and flavor. I wish they served bread though.“

“on point!! don't shy away from the menu, everything we had was delicious.“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“Very Nice atmosphere customer service was great and the food was superb“

“Hands-down best ramen I have ever had.“

“My family are regulars. I was initially worried that opening a Japanese place just two blocks from Sushi Jin wouldn’t be good for either restaurant but we’ve been going to both at least 1/mo since Kushi opened. Outside of sushi, their menus are pretty different and have their own strengths. Highly recommend Kushi’s chicken katsu and curries. Kushi wings are also great. Staff has always been nice and there’s usually another table with kids, like us. But it’s not crazy. It’s a great space but half the time it can get a bit (cooking) smoky.

Kid-friendliness: This is not a place for rowdy kids since it’s one big open space for everyone to hear and see anything that might go crazy. But the staff is flexible and perfectly welcoming for grade-school aged kids. There’s also never a line for either of the (gender-less) bathrooms.“

“A favorite neighborhood spot“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“I really enjoyed this restaurant. The people were super nice. The service was outstanding. They have excellent sushi 🍣. Also, I enjoyed trying 1 of their sake. I appreciated how knowledgeable they were about the different ones they offered. I definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant again.

Parking: There's plenty of it. The restaurant is 1 of 3 in a strip center located right off Route 1/Washington Boulevard.“

“Legit Japanese food. I’ve visited 6 cities in Japan and this is exactly the type of food I’ve had there. 🍱 🍜 🍣“

“I got the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was rich. The slices of pork were fresh, juicy, tender, slightly sweet, and abundant. There were at least 6 slices in that bowl. The assortment of vegetables and narutomaki added unique, delicious tastes and textures to the dish. Their food presentation is perfect. You'd have to see it to believe it. The ramen actually looks like it's straight out of those food commercials and restaurant food posters. All in all, it's a great place to eat.“

“After a nature walk at Watkins Park, decided to stop here for a quick dinner pick up. The prices and quantity were fabulous. Welcoming and quick service. Generous amounts of salmon and shrimp in/on my sushi so it was a great value. Unfortunately, the rice was pretty bland. As a sushi connoisseur, I keep furikake and rice vinegar on hand. The Cherry Blossom was decent.

Recommend they pitch the soy sauce because it was tasteless. ?
But once again, my cubbard came to the rescue with some kikkoman. I will try the hibachi next time.“

“This place is LEGIT! Best quick service Japanese food I've ever had across the eastern half of the US, from Florida to Kentucky, to New York, it can't be beat! Generous portions, friendly service, fast and fresh. The restaurant was super clean and comfortable. Prices are reasonable especially considering the quality. Can't go wrong here!“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“Enjoyed delicious sushi and curry coconut udon! The service was great and the atmosphere perfect!“

“GREAT value— 50% off sushi after 7pm (from $10.5 to $5.25)!!! The tuna and salmon avocado rolls are delish and $10.5 or 50% off before closing (if there are any left).
The stickers are SUPER CUTE and $1 each!

They also offer great drinks (craft yuzu soda, topo chico, boba tea etc.)

♿️ Union Market’s entrance is accessible, but tables are mostly high top (low tables by the window and outside) and the aisles are crowded most of the day. Also good lighting. Very loud.

“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 👌🏽“

“Most Delicious Beef & Shrimp Teriyaki (White Steamed Rice) in town! Teriyaki Kaizen is going to be my new Go-to Spot for fantastic Japanese food. ?

The Restaurant is clean and smells great.

The Staff are all very friendly and fast.
Thank you for your warm service Miss, Blanca

“This was a great experience. Grace was very attentive. But I want to call out the sushi rolls themselves. These were some of the best rolls in Maryland, major props to the chef. This place is a hidden gem, hole in the wall place. It's awesome, yes it's small but cozy highly recommend dropping by and grabbing a roll or two.
I experienced the Red roll and yummy yummy.“

“I rarely post reviews, but I make an exception for restaurants that leave a lasting impact, and this one definitely did! The pho was incredibly comforting and delicious. I’m already excited to come back next month when it’s cooler outside. The bánh mì was fresh and hot, bursting with flavor. Plus, our server was genuinely pleasant. Highly recommend this place!“

“Great service, good sushi, delicious mochi, and great location.“

“Great Hibachi or chef was excellent provided a nice show. The food and staff were both excellent!“

“This is quick service food Japanese but absolutely some of the best ever for this type of service. I’ve eaten and tons of these and so far this is the highest quality and best prepared I’ve had since moving to Maryland 5 years ago. Delicious chicken and shrimp and the teriyaki sauce is as close to a real thick rich teriyaki as I have found outside of a really nice traditional restaurant. love traditional sit down Japanese and this really holds its own for a quick service offering. Very reasonable price considering the quality especially. Wish they had one closer to me in Columbia MD!“

“Easily one of the best bars in the city, hands down“

“One of the restaurants inside the Stamp Student Union. Seating in common Stamp dining area. Great poke bowls. Consistently delicious.
Michelle is the sweetest! She deserves a raise!

Parking: It’s on UMD campus so look at umd website for parking details. I wouldn’t recommend driving here.“

“This really cute little Japanese shop was a great experience. On the simple side, but sushi was delicious and my friends enjoyed their food as well (one got chicken soup, and one got chicken teriyaki noodles). The workers were also very welcoming and nice, especially when they learned it was our first time coming to eat there. Reasonable priced, will be back again :)“

“Ninja Sushi should be packed on a Friday evening. The Japanese food they serve is healthy and delicious. Our waitress was exceptional served us a plate of crunchy crab on the house. The only disappointment was the seafood soup. We both enjoyed the salmon shrimp, tempura calamari, and sumptuous, creamy cheesecake. We were surprised at the amount of food we got for under $50. I highly recommend this unpretentious, family friendly restaurant in Colesville.“

“Horu Sushi is the best sushi in a large radius, highly recommend to anyone who loves sushi. The eel roll is my current favorite. It’s the best vendor in Le Fantome Food Hall and we are so spoiled to have this level of taste in our neighborhood.

We also love their ramen which is legit

You can even go for happy hour at the bar and eat the sushi there with your drink!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves the dumplings and ramen“

“Food was made quickly and was super fresh. The taste was excellent. This was my first time here, I always see my friends getting it as take out and decided to bring my family to try it. We really enjoyed it. Only thing constructive, I will say is that their appetizers weren't worth the money, but the main dishes were excellent ?“

“My very first time here. This place is so freaking good. I got a little bit of everything to give it a try, and their musubi is delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. I really do appreciate them being nice since is our very first time. I would totally come back again.

Parking: They have a garage parking up to 1 hour“

“The place is very very clean, the kitchen staff is kind and professional. Finally, I can say that the customer service is amazing.

Thank you guys!

“Great value and great taste! worth driving to.This is a no-frills place that doesn’t mandate tips or surcharges and will give you good size tasty food.We got two specialty sushi rolls and chicken&beef+ vegetables and noodles.I was hesitant to get the sushi here because everyone says to get sushi from fancy places only, but I gave it a shot. I just finished it. It tasted good. If I don’t get sick, this will be my go-to for Japanese takeout. If I don’t come back to add more info, it means all went well and i fel fine :)“
