“I cannot emphasize enough how delicious the food is here. It is simply amazing! My favorite item to get is the beef bulgogi bibimbap. All the flavors are so fresh and everything is out of this world. I can't wait to come back and try everything else they have to offer. The owner is also so nice and courteous and I love how friendly they are. Highly recommend the food here! The chicken and beef here are also halal.Dietary restrictions: Food is halal“
“My friends and I have been coming here for years. Its a quick service order to go spot for Asian fusion sushi burritos or bowls. Its located inside of a gas station and parking is limited. I stopped by recently and placed a fairly large order. Wait time was around 25 minutes for 6 items. Prices are reasonable and I like the selection here. We ordered everything from the tuna + salmon sushi burritos. For the rice bowls, we ordered the basil chicken, tempura shrimp and black pepper beef. Each burrito is packed with avocado, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, corn and edamame. Food is prepped in front of you and the staff was so friendly. Prices are reasonable and I see why the MD Yelp team puts this place on its top places to eat list every year.“
“Wonderful restaurant! The owner is so kind and the sushi is amazing! They do salmon belly in the Baltimore Roll, which I've never had before but I will crave it every time I come home to Maryland! Great rolls and great other stuff too!!!“
“We booked a private room for our daughter's birthday. The service was excellent (very pleasant). The sushi and sashimi was so tasty. I enjoyed the red bean mochi. They brought an ice cream platter and sang happy birthday too. Also the clientele was very kind and wished our daughter Happy Birthday on the way out as well. Great experience!“
“Fantastic sushi tucked away in an unassuming strip mall. I’ve been a couple times because there are so many appealing sushi rolls and they have all been fantastic. The fish is fresh, the proportions are good. I’d avoid the cocktails, they are underwhelming. They can be slow when busy but that should be expected when sushi is being made to order.“

“We were the only customers when we went on a Tuesday about 7. But the owners were wonderful at helping us with their recommendations on the menu. We settled on a few sushi rolls and bulgogi with Tera beers all around. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The bulgogi was definitely a top cut of beef in a spectacular sauce. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. Please patronize this place.“
“Food is absolutely amazing! The staff was extremely nice and efficient. Our friends took us here for happy hour sushi and we came back three days later because we couldn’t get enough. Also the prices are very affordable for high quality sushi. 11/10.“
“Don't come at me for liking this place. Yes it's expensive. Yes the view of the lake is nice and calming. Yes the servers aren't Japanese even if it's a Japanese restaurant. Yes it's right near Whole Foods which is probably part of why it's expensive. In comparison to the other sushi restaurants in the area, I think this place has enough ambiance things going on to justify the price. Also where else am I going to get eel avocado with that much green on it and thickly sliced eel? Salmon sashimi (ate it too quick) was thick, melt in the mouth, and delicious. Tempura udon was pretty good too. Went here for lunch and will probably be back!“
“Staff was excellent also the chefs are alot of fun to watch prepare my food and talk with,The food and management was 10 out 10.Strongly recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: Allergic to avocados totally AccommodatedI am not a vegetarian....“
“This place is amazing! If you are looking for delicious sushi, friendly, helpful service, this is where you should go. I got a New York Roll, which is filled with fresh salmon, tuna, and white fish, avocado, cucumbers and topped with caviar. I also got an eel roll that has huge pieces of eel in it. Not only does everything taste great, but it's also a great value. I like that they have ready to quick grab sushi in the case or I can custom order. That's why I keep going back!“
“Awesome experience! I had super hot and gooey takoyaki, had a great bowl of udon with a very rich broth (off menu too, was offered by the server), and was given a complementary chilled cinnamon tea for desert. The server and staff was incredibly friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the “

“We were searching for a late dinner place on a Friday night and saw this new Korean BBQ soft opening and decided to try it. We were so delighted with the food, the service and the kindness they showed us even though it was already late and almost closing time! Our waiter, Chris, was very kind and attentive to our table and continued to offer more Banchans whenever we would eat up any of those delicious side dishes. We ordered the combination which already included beef and pork cuts, so we got to taste both meats. One very unique and new for us in a Korean BBQ place is the green sauce. Whatever it is, it was delicious, a little spicy but very good. Chris also offered to bring us the traditional sesame oil sauce which is a must! He also offered more lettuce every time we would eat up the bunch. I really appreciate that they did not even rush us, even though it was very late. Definitely going to be one of my new favorite places for a family dinner! I do have one suggestion to the management: change the cut of the pork belly into thinner slices. Pork needs to be cook more well done than beef, especially pork belly. The thick slices take too long to cook on the inside. Anyways, we are definitely coming back here!“
“In my opinion, this is the best sushi in Maryland. Incredible quality, wonderful service, and a very laid-back setting. Every time I go to a different sushi restaurant, I always end up wishing i was here instead. All the staff are very nice and welcoming, and the service is always pretty quick. If you're just looking for great sushi without all the frills, this is the perfect place for you.“
“Have always had great sushi at this location but I tried the Negimaki Chicken appetizer today and it was terrible, unable to eat it actually. Tried one piece and it was extremely tough and chewy. Tried another and same result. Remainder went in the trash. The spring onions were really the problem here and should be replaced with Asparagus maybe. If Katana would make and try this themself they will know what I’m talking about.“
