Rakugaki has been our go-to sushi spot! The food is consistently delicious, and even the presentation of the takeout is beautiful and thoughtful. What truly sets it apart, though, is the staff. Denise and Bibi are particularly wonderful members of the team who have made our family’s experiences memorable. They, along with every other team member, have always been kind and friendly.
I'm changing my review and recommend trying this place now.
My first review was not good because of the service. This time the service was excellent.
We sat outside which is a huge plus in my book. I love sitting outdoors in nice days. The tables were clean and the atmosphere was nice.
The food was very good. It always has been. It was just that the service sucked, but now that it's in par this place is a great option for sushi in Bethesda.
Always great sushi over our 25 times getting takeout from them.

Rakugaki is a stylish restaurant that offers a wide variety of food options, including a separate menu for special dietary restrictions. The chef's specialties, such as the garlic fried rice and sushi rolls, are highly recommended. Customers have praised the fresh sushi, noting that it features real chunks of fish without any pastey texture. Dishes like the hamachi crudo and sashimi are fresh and delicious, with the option to add scallop. Specials like the spicy tuna on sticky rice and the spicy kimchee fried rice have also received high marks, with the kimchee being packed with flavor. The spring rolls are perfectly crisp and delightful, making them a must-try. The restaurant has a calm and relaxing atmosphere, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and is a charming location that gets busy. Despite the slightly higher prices, the quality, taste, and service make Rakugaki a worthy destination for a return visit.
