11 Best Sushi Bars in Bethesda

“Every thing we had was so delicious. We started with genmaicha tea as it was a chilly day and then ordered appetizers.
The
tea was perfectly roasted and cozy. We had the rock shrimp and fried sweet potato- lightly fried and full of flavor. Next I had the salmon teriyaki and friend has Ramen. Also delicious, no complaints. The true winner was our waiter. He was so welcoming, accommodating, funny and kind. Will be back very soon.“

“Tried Kusshi in Bethesda recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere without feeling too loud or crowded, and the location in Woodmont Triangle makes it a nice spot for dinner before walking around downtown after. Sushi tasted fresh and presentation was really well done. You can tell they pay attention to quality instead of just rushing plates out.

We ordered a mix of rolls, appetizers, and drinks and honestly everything came out pretty quickly. The crispy rice and specialty rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering too much which I appreciated.

Prices are definitely on the higher side compared to casual sushi spots, but that’s kind of expected for the area and quality level. Overall a really solid place for date night, dinner with friends, or just when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale than average.“

“Small and hidden, it’s not hard to overlook this local gem. There is no seating, so all orders are takeout. Don’t let it’s size fool you - this is some of the best sushi in the area, and far superior to many larger and more expensive places.
Ingredients are fresh and prepared to order on the spot. There’s also a small market for Japanese foods and snacks.“

“This place is awesome ! Good food, great staff, beautiful atmosphere. You can tell that they put time , love, and care into their dishes and cocktails. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious! The owners are very kind and the food is great, fresh, and competitively priced. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Will be returning and telling my friends about it. Plus, while you wait for your sushi, you can shop the little mart that feels like a tiny piece of Japan right in Bethesda!“

“Recently ate here and I am interested in coming back to try something else. I got the arctic shrimp roll. It was pretty good but I didn’t read that it was rice paper instead of seaweed. The chef seemed a bit irritated by my mistake so I just left it alone.“

“Back to the scene of Lan’s and my first date!“

“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.“
