50 Best Sushi Bars near Cabin John

“I have overlooked Sushi N You for years eventhough it is right under my nose. Don't make the same mistake I did! This is an amazing gem in the neighborhood. The sushi was EXCELLENT. The place is spotless, cozy, and welcoming. The staff was so nice, attentive, and accommodating. We will now be regular customers for both carry-out and dine-in.“

“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.“

“One of the best sushi experiences we’ve had on the East Coast. The Omakase was exceptional and absolutely worth every penny. A must‑try is The Heaven sake — incredibly smooth, crisp, and perfectly paired with the meal.

We celebrated my brother’s birthday here, and the entire family is still talking about how amazing everything was. Highly recommend!“

“This place is amazing every time. They always have great fresh fish and the staff is great. Super friendly and open to being creative.“

“Our visit to Zeppelin was absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with the most exceptional hospitality by Ari and the rest of the staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant is truly one-of-a-kind, paying tribute to the Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships. But the real standout of our experience was the food. It was absolutely divine. We began our meal with the Edamame and Miso Soup, both of which were the perfect starters and set the stage for the rest of the meal. The Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Sunomono were also refreshing and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we decided to indulge in a variety of dishes from the KushiYaki (Japanese Charcoal Grill) menu. The Ebi Shumai and Beef Harumaki were both cooked to perfection, while the Takoyaki was a fun and tasty snack. But the standout dish was the Okonomiyaki, with its tempura, red ginger, okonomiyaki sauce, and mayo creating a truly unique and flavor-packed experience. From the sushi bar, we sampled a variety of rolls including the Negitoro Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Rainbow Roll. Each one was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced in flavor. We also tried the Sashimi Sampler, which was a fantastic way to try a range of different fish. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the Green Tea Ice Cream, which was the perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note. Our experience at Zeppelin was truly extraordinary! The food was delicious and the hospitality we received from Ari and the rest of the staff was top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly unique and memorable dining experience.“

“We got two Salmon Lover sets and a Unagi roll to go and everything was really good. The salmon sashimi was fresh and the rolls were generously filled. The unagi was spot on too.

They threw in three complimentary pieces of sushi and two free miso soups with our takeout order, which was a really nice surprise. When I wasn’t sure what to get for drinks, they had great suggestions for sake and beer. Great experience overall, will definitely be back!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“My family and I visited Satay Club on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, DC, and we loved it so much that we came back the very next day!

The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Every dish we tried was delicious, and you could tell it was prepared with care and attention to detail.

A special thank you to Howaah for making both visits so memorable. She was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She always seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask and made sure our family was comfortable throughout our meals. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and friendly personality truly stood out and added so much to our dining experience.

Great food and exceptional service are hard to find, but Satay Club delivered both. We left feeling like valued guests and look forward to returning again soon. Highly recommended!“

“Classic sushi bar with some excellent quality fish. They excel at unique fusion sashimi (like the amazing salmon carpaccio with tomato and basil) and nigiri (the maguro with truffle!) Simply prepared with incredible flavor combos. They also have an incredible sake list! Very well priced, Takumi is our go to sushi spot!

By far, this is“

“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.“

“Incredible fresh, tasty, huge poke bowl with awesome flavor blends!!! I highly recommend this place!! They’re awesome!! Treat yourself & check them out!!“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“Fabulous dining experience with our server, Yurii. Kind, patient, and attentive service. Came to celebrate a birthday so thank you to Yurii & Kelly who wished us happy birthday and made the night memorable. Will be returning. Delicious, quality sushi with beautiful ambiance and a clean space. Free parking is easily accessible right around the corner, about a 2 minute walk to the garage.“

“Very good spot near our hotel ! Staff was very polite and friendly. If we comeback around DC in the future we will have our lunch there for sure !“

“Excellent high-quality fresh food and friendly service. The dishes looked beautiful and the ambience is superb.“

“I had stopped by Sushi Snob a few times for lunch and was impressed by the quality. However it wasn’t until I booked the omakase experience for an anniversary and was completely blown away. The chefs were very friendly and accommodated food restrictions gracefully. My partner and I were agog at the chefs’ talents and pairings and will be back soon. Definitely some of the best sushi in the DMV area“

“My wife and I had a great experience at Khin's. Amazing staff, delicious food, not expensive whatsoever. If we lived in the area, this would be a regular spot indeed. Just give 'em a try, c'mon. They're awesome. Oh what did I order? Well you see, I had a caterpillar roll and one of those fancy volcano dishes, and my wife had a philly roll with some other roll that had salmon on top. Good quality. Ten out of ten, five out of five, same same.“

“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.“

“First time dining in.Our server was helpful with recommendations and surprisingly fitness advice. We Had the salmon teriyaki Benton with multiple other dishes, Was not a fan of the potato salad and the Rose mary and mint tea paired well with the meal. Overall great experience“

“Amazing sushi! I've tried Kusshi, kura Sushi, and Uzu Sushi in the Rockville area and was not impressed with their quality at all. However, Sushi Toro is always consistent with their quality especially for their price. The sushi tastes amazing and fresh, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is perfect for a date night or a casual dinner with friends. Easily the best sushi I've had in Rockville. Highly recommend!“

“Kema offers the best maki/handrolls in unique styles in Maryland. We are lucky to have Kema in Cabin John and do not need to drive up to Gaithersburg. My recommendation is black magic! Lunch bento is always special. Don't forget having parfait for dessert.“

“Our sorority held a fundraiser with Kusshi recently, and not only were they easy to work with and incredibly generous, but the service was helpful and quick, and the food was beautifully plated, fresh and delicious. Def recommend going for a nice night out!“

“Good sushi. I had the rainbow roll, yellowtail nigiri and salmon nigiri. Service was polite and the food was prepared quickly. The restaurant was clean. It's tucked away in the corner of that parking lot. Hard to see from the street but worth the visit.“

“This is my go-to sushi spot, and every time I come the quality is always amazing. My favorite thing to get is the salmon combo and it does not disappoint, EVER. The mango smoothie is also delicious.

I’ve only dined in a few times and have mostly gotten take out, but the quality is always the same and always amazing.“

“UNBELIEVABLE FIND! Absolutely the best sushi! Fresh and delicious! The salmon melted in my mouth! The teriyaki plates were amazing. The staff is so nice and sweet. My wife and I had an incredible experience. We travel an hour each way just to eat here!“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“I had been waiting 3 years ever since the sign went up saying this was coming to my area. Finally for my birthday I got the chance to go and it was not a let down. The front of house staff was very friendly and seated my party immediately. The waitress took no time at all to get our drinks and come back with them and take our complete order. We put everything in at the same time and they did an excellent job of pacing the salads, appetizers, and main meal. The food was absolutely fantastic and gorgeous to look at. I will be returning so we can sit for a hibachi show! The only thing is I slyly mentioned it was my birthday hoping to get a song, but that did not happen lol.“

“My first visit was last week....the bento box was very good and the service was wonderful!“

“Sushi House has been our best kept secret for many years and the quality of food and friendly service never disappoints. The only reason to give atmosphere a lower score is that this clean and simple setting is not designed to be anything but what it is. It is truly a gem and we have not found any of the fancy sushi places around to compare to its food. Shhh don’t tell anybody!“

“EXCELLENCE“

“I visited this Japanese restaurant with friends and we all had a fantastic experience. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic dishes, and every item we ordered exceeded expectations. The hibachi dishes were cooked perfectly, and the sushi rolls were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxing, making it a perfect place for both casual dinners and celebrations.“

“Loved this place and experience that comes with. Very nice people and delicious sushi!!“

“Very solid food and all you can eat at a good price. We'll be coming back for sure.“

“Stopped by this restaurant for lunch randomly last Friday and I was so impressed!! I got the sushi and nigiri lunch special and my partner got the two traditional rolls and 1 special roll. It was such a great deal and amazing quality. The fish tasted very fresh. The service was also very good. We will definitely start coming here regularly! Loved my experience.“

“Great sushi, friendly staff, and pretty ambiance. Definitely recommend!“

“Wow! Where do I begin this experience was top tier from the sushi, customer service, ambience and interpersonal connects made with staff and fellow guest! We had the pleasure of being immersed in this full body melting in your mouth flavorful experience by chef Erik, who not only educated us along the way but made efforts to connect on a personal level! It felt as if you’re single handily having a meal with family. The sushi was AMAZING! Erik , Alexis, Fino and Alvero didn’t spare a moment in catering to all the guest we truly felt we’ve gotten more than just sushi. We did the 12 course and immediately thought we should’ve done 17 it’s more than worth it and the vegan ice cream dessert was delicious!“

“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.“

“Great food and quite an experience. There is the food on the circling belt that keep turning and you pick the plate that appeals to you, or you order from the tablet on top of table and the plate arrives on the top belt. Fascinating. I loved it“

“Sushi is always fresh and tasty. Don’t skip the non-fish items, which are also delicious. I haven’t gone into DC for sushi since I discovered Ikko a few years ago.“

“We love this place!! The combo menu is so great and we got beef and shrimp. The staff prepared the sauce and we enjoyed the fresh meat/veggies and the sauce is delicious. We also tried Vietnamese platter- a real treat. Must try. The combo menu is very reasonable and we are very full.“

“New favorite sushi restaurant in the neighborhood! The crabmeat rangoon and red roof roll were delicious, flavorful and very fresh. Sometimes this restaurant runs BOGO deals on Uber Eats (and maybe other food delivery platforms) so definitely take advantage of that!“

“This is my childhood sushi place and I’ve watched it grow and my family always came here even during covid to support it and keep it in business, this place is seriously slept on, their prices and quality is unmatchable anywhere else, everything is made so fresh, love this place!“

“The best sushi (to go) I’ve ever eaten...and I’ve eaten a lot of sushi 😅“

“Always great food, great service, never disappointed. Love love this place. Please stay open🤗“

“I recently visited this Japanese restaurant and had an absolutely amazing dining experience. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavor. I also tried the ramen and tempura, and both dishes were prepared perfectly with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff members were attentive, polite, and provided excellent customer service throughout the visit.“

“5/5 ⭐️ easily—this place has been our go-to sushi spot for a while now, and it never misses. From the moment you walk in, you get that warm, local vibe where they actually remember you, not just your order. The service is consistently on point—friendly, attentive, and just the right balance of casual and professional.

And huge shoutout to the chef—every dish shows real skill and care. You can tell there’s pride behind the counter, from the freshness of the fish to how beautifully everything is plated. It’s that kind of attention to detail that keeps us coming back.

Whether it’s a quick dinner or a longer hang with friends, it just hits every time. Love supporting a local spot that does everything right. If you know, you know.

Gam-sa-ham-nee-da!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼“
