“Their services is great.“

“The food was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—especially the high-quality cuts of wagyu, which were rich, tender. Every single bite was an experience in itself.
Angie, our server, truly elevated the evening. She was so sweet, warm, and genuinely attentive, anticipating our needs and making us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Her kindness and exceptional service did not go unnoticed. We’ll definitely be back for both the amazing food and Angie’s wonderful hospitality! ❤️“

“Cloud Shrimp - Juicy shrimp fried in potato starch, served w Kimchi-kewpie Mayo“

“Excellent food, fresh and beautifully presented; outstanding attentive service.“

“I always book here and have never been disappointed. I will go again and again.“

“Me and my daughter had a beautiful shared experience here and this is now one of my favorite if not my favorite!!!! And the waitress is an amazing artist!!!!“

“10s across the board. I wish I had photos to show. I always eat my food before thinking of photos. I have ordered several dishes by door dash or walk in and you're always greeted, the atmosphere is clean and vibrant. The food is AMAZING ! SOOOOO fresh ! I usually get miso soup or Yum Yum soup. I've tried 3 sparking freshers thus far. AMAZING ! THE BEST dish I've had thus far was the teriyaki beef bowl. I couldn't get enough !! I have to have something from here at least once to twice a week. Especially the soups since it's cold out. You WON'T be disappointed 😁“

“Great place for sushi. we loved it“

“Delicious 😋 Place! The fish is always fresh & service is great!“

“Accommodated a party of 7 on a Thursday night easily. We ordered two boats which did not take long to prepare. The restaurant was busy during the evening which was also a good sign. Seems like a popular spot! They also gave us complimentary appetizers and dessert to share which was a nice bonus too. Service was attentive and efficient. All of the sushi was delicious and the price is quite reasonable as well. I would certainly come back again.“

“Great food and awesome staff.“

“Been here twice and the food was fantastic each time!“

“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!“

“It genuinely felt nice here! The food was excellent, the staff were fast, and kind! One complaint though, its a bit cold. I feel bad for the workers that are wearing literal t-shirts!
Also bonus point because the little mascot looks like Firey from BFDI
TWO APPROVED!“

“the sushi lunch special is perfect and the all youncan eat sushi also general.house is in the top 3 in maryland and definitely top 2 in anne arundel County“

“Bar none the best sushi in Howard county. We’ve been steadies there for 15 plus years. Only wish we’d discovered it sooner. Highly recommend!!!“

“The food is good! The owner is nice. Been going here for close to 15 years? I went in my college days til now.
The hours posted on google are not accurate. They aren’t open on Tuesdays and on Saturdays they’re not open at 10am. Please fix this!“

“Sushi here is top tier and so is the ambience. I stopped in on a busy weekday. This place was packed. My friend and I ordered everything from the tuna tartare, chirashi bowl, Toyosu nigiri platter, seared otoro and the matchamisu dessert. This was plenty of food for 2 people. We loved the quality of fish and presentation here. The otoro cuts were definitely the highlight of the evening. Seared otoro tuna with endless amounts of shaved truffle on top. Definitely save some room for dessert as the matchamisu was a take on the tiramisu. The mascarpone, mango and matcha were a great combination.

The service here was great. Our servers were attentive and we enjoyed the variety of seafood, Asian fusion and even saw some hibachi items. Azumi is a great place to enjoy some cocktails, sushi or hibachi. I highly recommend booking reservations in advance. The bartender did let me know they have sushi making classes and tuna carving sessions throughout the month. I'll definitely be back to try some different cuts of fish and their sushi rolls.“

“Great food, great wait staff. Been going there for years and it's only gotten better over time.“

“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“

“The food is tasty and they are pretty quick with their service. They now have a self ordering kiosk which we haven't used but plan to next time. I only gave the atmosphere 3 stars because it's not much for atmosphere. They have a few tables to sit and eat but I never used them. Mostly sit and wait. Overall they give you a decent amount of food. If you have a lot of orders they give you a box to carry your stuff out. But that was recent due to the plastic bag ban.“

“This is my husband and I’s second time trying out this place and it is delicious! I ordered the chicken bento box and that teriyaki sauce with the rice and crispy chicken is just the perfect combo along with everything else that comes in the box. My husband loves the volcano roll as well!“

“Great service, fresh sushi & sashimi!“

“We had miso soup, salad, sushi, and sashimi, and it was all amazing. Very clean. Excellent service. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter and I ate here last week. It was around 5:30 pm and we were using a coupon deal that was $40 for two hibachi dinners. There weren't a lot of people in the restaurant at the time. Several people were at the bar area and we ended up being the only ones at the hibachi grill. The atmosphere was so nice, clean, and inviting. The staff was great, attentive, and personable. The food was amazing. The amount of food included in the deal was out of this world. The coupon included a combo of chicken, shrimp and steak hibachi with fried rice, noodles, soup, and salad. The portions were huge. I can't recommend this location enough. The coupon we had was from the coupon mailer...it's a steal!“

“I ordered my meal through a delivery service. This was my first order from Quickway and I was very satisfied.The food was good and plentiful for a surprisingly good price. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Combo with rice & noodles and it was only about $12 and overflowing the container. A Spicy Crab and Shrimp Roll and the Shrimp Tempura were all a good size.The shrimp were good but soggy, probably due to the delivery time, I suspect they would be much better as an eat-in item. The roll was very good as well, but strangely warm. Maybe from sharing a bag with the hot foods.The star was the Chicken and Shrimp Combo with sides of rice and noodles. Deliciously prepared with a tasty sauce. The rice needed a little soy to give more flavor. The noodles were great. A huge meal that would have satisfied on it's own. (I ordered extra stuff because I was unfamiliar with the portions)“

“Good sushi 🍣 and hibachi food“

“Great food Fellowship Great Bartender Great Atmosphere“

“This place was pretty good, pretty big menu and lots of selections for sushi. My friend and I shared two orders of tempura rolls while I got shrimp and beef with fried rice and my friend got noodles. Everything was really good, came out pretty quick and good service. Very large portions for affordable price.“

“The Yummy Roll❤️ Everything about this place is EXCELLENT“

“This place is great if you're looking for sushi and bento boxes at a decent price. I highly recommend the Rock and Roll sushi roll. They can be a little stingy with their yummy sauce, but most place a stingy with sauce these days. My wife and I come here frequently, this is the spot for us.“

“We have been going to Yuki Sushi since they first opened. The food is wonderful. We like to try new things. Tonight the Owings Mills Roll was wonderful as was the Spicy Seafood Ramen. Great Restaurant, it will become one of your favorite places for dinner.“

“Best sushi I've ever had. Great prices.“

“If you ever find yourself at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), do yourself a favor and stop by Gachi Sushi across from Gate A9. I ordered the Triple Delight Roll, and it was incredible. It was beautifully presented, fresh, and packed with flavor. The avocado and spicy drizzle were perfectly balanced, and the textures were spot on. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, even in the middle of the busy terminal. Special shoutout to Budi, the general manager who’s been there for 14 years! His pride in the food and service truly shows. I’ll definitely be back. Whether you’re craving sushi before a flight or just looking for a great airport dining experience, Gachi Sushi is a must-try. Highly recommended! 🍣✈️“

“outstanding food and service 🙂“

“Had the salmon and fish roe nigiri as apps. It was fresh and succulent, delicious indeed. Their chewy noodle special with pork belly was spectacular, would highly recommend. Small ish inside but have outside seating when weather allows. Quaint and pleasant experience.“

“It’s a new place serving a new demographic, and for only being open about two months, they’re doing fairly well overall.

Most issues were operational. We were given a happy hour menu after the hours had passed, there was a small order mix-up that staff corrected quickly, and we waited a while for the bill. Arrival was also slightly confusing since the mall entrance was closed and we had to locate a rear entrance on our own.

Food-wise, the sashimi was average, the miso soup solid (4/5), and the snow crab roll was excellent and easily the highlight.

Overall, a good experience with some normal early growing pains. I enjoyed it, though it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way to recommend just yet.“

“if you have any time on your hands and you down that area I highly recommend it it's a good affordable place to eat at“

“This sushi was the best I’ve had in all of Maryland. The fish was fresh (even on a Sunday), melt in your mouth, and incredibly flavorful. The albacore was my favorite. Definitely giving Azumi a run for its money. Everything was a great size. I’ll be back ASAP“

“This is one of our reliable Go To choices for quick dinner. The food is good and fast. There is usually a table because most people take out. It's clean and everyone is friendly without being weird.

Honestly , if you think about the archetype of a takeaway hibachi place this is what you're thinking about.

I've also never had a problem with allergies here even when I forget to mention i can't eat pork or shellfish so you know they do food safety just as a habit.“

“I have eaten here several times over the last few years. The food is always amazing! Service is wonderful. I have eaten both upstairs and down. Great atmosphere. Takeaway is always just as delicious.“

“Our favorite place for Sushi. Had carry out tonight due to CoronaVirus quarantine and it was fantastic as usual. Can't wait until this comment is completely outdated (and things are back to normal again).“

“It's been a long time since I've been to Aloha Sushi in Baltimore, since before the pandemic. decided to try them for lunch and the experience was good! apparently the sushi roller, Rajesh, is back, after they changed management. I had the lunch special for the Salmon roll, the tuna role and the Boston roll! it was good and hit the spot. definitely coming back for a date, Mount Vernon is one of my favorite spots.“

“Great food, family friendly, attentive service, convenient parking.“

“Fantastic Thai Cuisine - from soup (Tom Ka) to salad to main dish ( I had the Asian eggplant with pork). The staff are amazing and invitingly warm. Thai food and culture- a definite place to revisit often. The sticky rice with mango was perfect in every way! Highly recommended Got high marks from The Remarkable Feast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve always passed by this place for YEARS and decided to try them out. I got the hibachi beef and hibachi shrimp and WOW is it good. The meat was tender and fried rice was cooked perfectly. The place is a vibe. I love how calm it is. I definitely would recommend. They also have a wide variety of sushi and some options for chinese food as well. Also great customer service. 10/10 recommended.“

“My first time coming here and I love the food! would definitely come again for lunch.“

“Walked in was greeted with hospitality asked me multiple times if I needed anything else or extra sauce food was cooked to my liking ate so fast didn’t get to take a picture of it but definitely delicious and fresh vegetables only complaint is that I got a few pieces of that hard cabbage I dislike that hope they stop putting that hard shell of cabbage in the mix vegetables please and thanks
