47 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 ??“

“The food is wonderful. I had hot and sour soup, sweet and sour shrimp and egg fried rice. Everything was delicious. I had the lunch special. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely come again and maybe try something new. I was very happy with my experience. Parking is easy and plentiful. A great experience.“

“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!“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“Sushi Taro used to be considered one of the top Japanese restaurants in the city, but it is not surprising they no longer are on the Michelin guide in 2025. The table service was good, but the rest of the service was mediocre. The food itself does feel overpriced for the quality, only a few select items were notable. Really not a destination for sushi or sashimi. Nothing they are doing terribly wrong per se, just nothing to write home about.“

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

“Took my husband here for his birthday and he loved it! We chose from the a la carte menu and every bite was phenomenal. Service was impeccable, elite fine dining kind of Service. The atmosphere really tied everything together. From the decor and low lighting to the excellent selection of music, we were really blown away. Highly recommend this spoy“

“every time i come here, i have the best sushi of my life, if you want a life changing sushi experience, come here! the kevin bacon sushi was insane 😵‍💫 & stg, soup is fire too!! they also gave my bf something for his birthday & that was so sweet & unexpected ❤️ every one was so sweet“

“Outstanding performers and great food!“

“We had an absolutely outstanding experience! Our very kind server Randy was attentive, knowledgeable and gave great reccomendations on dishes to eat & cocktails. Food was very flavorful! Atmosphere lovely! Highly reccomend. Really a great kick-off to our families weekend away 🎄“

“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!“

“Amazing!! Family owned business, and the portions + prices made the commercial poke bowl restaurants look embarrassing!! I only got the regular size but look how much salmon came with mine! Will be back, can’t believe i’ve lived here forever and have not had this place.“

“I love hole-in-the-walls, and it's rare you find a reasonably priced non-chain restaurant this close to the mall. And filling too!

Tucked down 2nd St NW, in an unassuming townhouse behind the Department of Labor, this is a cosy spot to dine-in. Unpretentious, this atmosphere is inviting to solo dinners. I had my eye on it for a while when working nearby, and am glad I got the chance to stop by. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

Had the vegetable bibimbap, but the boxes looked just as good. Will bring a friend next time to split.“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“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.“

“This is a cozy spot with about 10 tables, so it feels intimate and welcoming. Even though it's small, the service is absolutely excellent; the staff is attentive and friendly. The food is delicious, and the bowl portions are very generous and satisfying. The prices are also very fair. I noticed that many customers choose to order for takeout, which seems to be a very popular option. What I loved most was the outstanding service from the staff. Highly recommended!“

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

“A favorite neighborhood spot“

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

“Great food and excellent service.“

“Just had an awesome meal at Kusshi Sushi last week with my friend. She is a sushi lover and mentioned the sashimi was fresh and perfect. The sweet shrimp was sweet, dedicate, and tasty. She loved the crispy shrimp head too. The vibe was chill and the staff were super nice. She said the price was only half of what she would pay in New York. If you love sushi, do yourself a favor and hit up Kusshi.“

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

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

“Just amazing. You can see why they are Michelin. We sat at the counter and had the complete experience. We felt like we were the only two in the restaurant and learned so much about each carefully curated delicious dish. They spared no expense and cut no corners. Exquisite.“

“My daughter and I have been cuddling through the area sushi restaurants to celebrate her birthday for nearly two decades now. Through the years, several of our favorites have closed and we've needed to search for a new place.

WE FOUND IT!

Everything was fantastic, from the (post-lunchtime) moment we walked in until we walked outside, replete and happy.

We ordered a selection of rolls and a large plate of sashimi, expecting small- to average-sized portions at reasonable prices. What we got were nearly futomaki-sized rolls at these same prices. The flavor combinations, both sweet and savory, both spicy and sublime, were even more impressive than the value.

Everyone we saw or spoke with was polite and smiling, and made us feel immediately welcome.

We'll be back next year, and likely a few times in-between!“

“The chicken teriyaki and the sauce were so good. I got a bento box. The chicken dumplings were amazing too - so flavorful and very gingery, perfectly crisp without being overly chewy. The option for adding green onions and sesame seeds at the end is a huge bonus too“

“First time coming here and wow! The broth tastes very authentic and really enjoyed the sushi taco. The seaweed was crispy and wrapped nicely with the food that was inside. They also have udon as an option for noodles but you’ll have to pay extra, not by much though. The atmosphere is also very lovely!“

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

“The pork shoulder, eggplant and harissa sweet potato fries were all fantastic-knocked out of the park. Great seasoning on all. My girlfriend doesn't usually like sweet potato fries and would have probably liked a second order. Really nice quiet ambience and great service.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Teriyaki & Sushi Japanese Grill in Laurel, MD, and it was a fantastic experience. The menu offers a diverse selection of fresh sushi rolls, flavorful teriyaki dishes, and hearty ramen bowls, all beautifully presented. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were well-balanced.

The service was prompt and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant has a clean, inviting atmosphere, perfect for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. Ordering online through Uber Eats, Grubhub, or DoorDash is also convenient for takeout.

Overall, Teriyaki & Sushi Japanese Grill is a great spot for delicious Japanese cuisine with excellent service. Highly recommended!“

“My wife and I love coming to Press Club to have nice cocktails and listen to good music. The house cocktails and small bites are solid. Most importantly, the staff is always very welcoming and friendly. Frank behind the bar is fantastic. It's hard to walk in, so reservations are a must.“

“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 👌🏽“

“Me and a friend visited this place for the first time. The food was really great and we enjoyed it a lot. Although they should add boba or smoothies. Different drinks to the menu would be even better! I’d definitely come back if they had boba and that ramen is so good. Please addd boba if you’re the owner!! The best part is the broth after you finish the meat and veggies yall. So much flavor and smells amazing. Very clean place and even the bathrooms are clean. No hairs in food it was perfect!!“

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

“I rarely ever a review but I had for Fuji Japan! Betty the owner was super sweet and the food was amazing! I go to a lot of Japanese or Hibachi places and this is by far my favorite. This would be 5 star review - lowest 4.8. Also very reasonable pricing and great portion size. Betty explained that the ingredients are home made and you can definitely tell the authentic taste!“

“Great sushi spot! The fish is always fresh, the flavors are well-balanced, and everything is prepared really neatly. I order from here often and have tried plenty of other sushi places in the area, but this one consistently delivers top quality. Definitely recommend! 🍣✨“

I Will be back 😁

“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.“

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

“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“

“Dined at Ninja Sushi for the first time today after having it on my list for long, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! Everything was amazing from their delicious and beautiful rolls to their impeccable service. Atmosphere was calming with art along the walls and music playing lowly in the background. We will be coming back!“

“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.

“It was our 1st time visiting there, and really didn’t know what to choose. The cashier was very helpful with helping us decide by suggesting meals.. She was very patient and pleasant with us. The wait was very reasonable and the food was delicious too. Thank you for that welcoming experience. We’ll be back❣️“

“It was a pleasant experience, the atmosphere was nice and welcoming.

The host / waiter were super friendly, super nice which made my experience even better. Thank you Nancy

The restaurant was tidy and clean 9/10.

Talking about the food: I ordered,

● Fresh shrimp summerroll: it was fresh and done the right way, and the peanut sauce was good.
● Chiken spring roll: was crispy and not greasyat all, I did not like the souce that comeswith it (you need to make a new soice please).
● Dumpling: I had netter, can be much better.
● Pho beef combination: was just perfectly done, the broth was flavorful so as a whole it was just delicious.

Food quality was great and fresh, survise was really good and fast.

Would I come back? Yes I would and Highly recommend it.“

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

“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.“

“I reserved omakase through Resy. My husband and I got seated right when we arrived. Our lunch omakase had 10 pieces and we ordered a la carte because the skip jack and uni were so delicious. Each fish was so flavorful and the texture was perfect. I will definitely be back for their dinner omakase one day. The Brooklyn Kura sake paired well with the fish.“
