The restaurant is beautiful with a throw back vibe. Can’t wait to sit at the sushi bar, and outside. Our server Jefferson was attentive and very nice.“

“Dont judge a book by its cover.

The outside ia complete trash. Such an ugly building. Like for real. Invest in an exterior refresh.

So I popped out the car to do a quick walk-in check cause the exterior of the building really looks like a prop from the Walking Dead.

However, inside is a completely different story. And even the bathroom was super clean.

Also, order the duck noodles. Or anything with duck. Not only is it delicious, you gwt a lot. Will definitely be back.“

“Great place for sushi. we loved it“

The only thing really is that the place isn’t that vibey.
The employees have a hard time understanding English, but that’s okay, they are still very nice and accommodating.“

“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! 🍣✈️“

“Omg- we came here last minute for my daughter’s 10th birthday. I called and asked if I can bring cake with us and they said yes! We showed up around 8pm and was welcomed with open arms. Immediately sat. The atmosphere is so cute. I can’t believe Starbucks used to be here.
Our server Ruth took great care of us and took special care of the birthday girl. The food was very fresh and delicious. The drinks were tasty too! We ordered the branzino, crab fried rice w shrimp, shrimp tempura rolls, and shrimp nigiri. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back just to see Ruth 🤗❤“

“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!“

“Amazing place to have dinner in front of of the water. Great service from Gotty who provided us with excellent recommendations. We particularly enjoyed the salmon aburi and the spicy toro roll - both of which were specials - the spicy poke roll was great as well. We also enjoyed the Japanese basque cheese cake.“

“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.“

“Really good for all you can eat Sushi. Much better than a buffet as everything is made to order. Def worth the $25.99 price if you go with a bunch of sushi eaters. Nice selection of apps, rolls, nigiri, cooked items and desserts. No liquor license yet.“

“MY FAVORITE SUSHI SPOT!!! i beg my husband to take me to get sushi there or pick some up for me when he’s coming home from work. we live about 1 hour from there but it’s worth the trip. the people there are very kind. sushi is very fresh, good amount of portions and delicious. the price is not bad at all.“

“The service, I respect it. Atmosphere is at peace to a point I can just sleep in here. I love the Zen Guzheng Melodies he is playing and all of the culture he brings strong into his business. I respect this guy. Down to earth. Best takeout food I’ve had , you can tell the guys really care about cooking. Also, the kitchen and the floors are cleaned“

“Great service, fresh sushi & sashimi!“

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

“Outstanding experience. Arrived about 5:30 with hubby for a date night while in the area. It was our first time here. We were immediately sat and the server came right over, despite them being a little busy.

The chef started our meal within about 10 minutes of our arrival and they were able to accommodate my shellfish allergy. He was professional, skillful, and very entertaining. He encouraged me to try to catch flying squash, but I was not able to.

The hibachi meals were amazing. I had the filet and my hubby had the salmon. The portions were huge and we both have a whole other meal for tomorrow. The fixings with the hibachi meals were delicious. Hubby also had the Ocean roll and enjoyed that as well.

Would definitely recommend and return.“

“Best sushi in Baltimore City! Always great service, delicious food, and fair prices. The Japanese Burrito is a must-have and arguably the best item on the menu. You can always dine in, but I usually pick up from this location. There isn’t a ton of parking, but there are plenty of paid parking options nearby.“

“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.“

“My partner and I visited on our 10th anniversary trip to the inner harbor. The food was incredible, and the service from Valeria was second to none. She was able to recommend a wonderful bottle of Sake for us, and was friendly, helpful, and genuine to us all evening long.“

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

“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.“

“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).“

“At least once a month stop by here for the price. Especially lunch price. The portions are generous enough to make the price ratio feel good.

Sure it ain't your super fancy place but for a deceptive hole in the wall place. It is worth the visit to give a try yourself.

$16 triple regular roll when already is $8 for 1 is pretty no brainer!

Thanks to the professional staff too!“

“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)“

“Dinned in on a Monday night, food was amazing, I ordered the bento box and the brown sugar milk tea, everything was made fresh it was flavorful, great portions & customer service was great! Muhammed helped us at check out he answered all our questions since it was our first time. The place was very clean, will be returning.“

“Asian Burmese Kitchen was fantastic. I grew up on burmese food and have only learned to prepare oh mo khao swe. Have been craving mohinga (mote hing karr at the restaurant) and atho (nje thoke at the restaurant). Its been 6 years since I last went home and ate these two dishes. I ordered Mote Hing Karr (my choice) and the chicken burmese noodle dish (the waiter’s choice). The chicken noodle dish arrived first and immediately the smell took me back to Trichy’s street stalls. The noodles were served with fresh limes, a sour:tangy cabbage slaw and delicately flavored thin chicken stock. The sharpness of the acidic sides cut through the very savory noodles and balanced the palate.

But the true star of the show for me was the Mote hing karr!! A perfect representation of what homemade bowl of hearty and delicious soup should be! I especially loved that they served it with the crackers (made with peas) and bejo (egg)! For people who need heat! they also give you 3 complementary chilli accompaniments to alter the spiciness as desired.

The portions were huge!!! So we took some home and I am already dreaming about eating another soup stock soaked bite of the banana stem in the very authentic Mote Hing Karr!

Prices are very reasonable, the restaurant and kitchen were clean, bright and well-maintained. Plenty of parking in front and back of the restaurant. I stopped next door and picked up more crackers and tamarind concentrate for home.“

“Found this cozy sushi spot while passing through town on a business trip in MD and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. Really glad I did. The layout is simple and efficient, and everything just feels well run.

The manager was super friendly, and the staff all seemed genuinely happy—no grumpy faces at all. That’s always a good sign, and it definitely felt like the food was in good hands.

I also liked that they have a fountain drink machine right in the lobby. The restaurant is in a plaza with plenty of parking, which is a huge plus when you’re traveling for work. Solid experience overall and I’d definitely stop by again if I’m in the area.“

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

“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“
