36 Best Japanese Restaurants near Colesville

“Dined at Ninja Sushi for the first time today after having it on my list for long, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! Everything was amazing from their delicious and beautiful rolls to their impeccable service. Atmosphere was calming with art along the walls and music playing lowly in the background. We will be coming back!“

“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! ❤️“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“Love this place! It’s absolutely beautiful and the staff is incredibly friendly. I came once and sat at the bar, and now it’s become my weekly spot for fresh sushi and handcrafted cocktails!
Helen is amazing—always smiling and giving off such positive, welcoming energy. She really makes you feel invited and appreciated. And Vanessa is SO sweet! She always checks in to make sure I’m doing okay.
Highly recommend!“

“Amazing!! Family owned business, and the portions + prices made the commercial poke bowl restaurants look embarrassing!! I only got the regular size but look how much salmon came with mine! Will be back, can’t believe i’ve lived here forever and have not had this place.“

“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 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.“

“We visited for the first time this evening, on the recommendation of a friend who’s been dining at Temari for years. Just as she told us it would be, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Business was steady. When we left, there were two parties waiting to be seated, which for a small establishment speaks volumes. Despite being busy, the servers were engaging and attentive (always offering to clear debris and empty dishes from the table, too). The food presentation was timely and appealing. When seated, we ordered tea, which was lovely, and served in the most beautiful - possibly handmade? - mugs. I look forward to returning.“

“Excellent food . The sushi,grilled squid,yellow tail collar and the seafood udon were all delicious. The server was most kind and gracious despite the fact she had so many tables to wait on the the time
The staff overall is truly commended for their hospitality and presentation.“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“Just had an awesome meal at Kusshi Sushi last week with my friend. She is a sushi lover and mentioned the sashimi was fresh and perfect. The sweet shrimp was sweet, dedicate, and tasty. She loved the crispy shrimp head too. The vibe was chill and the staff were super nice. She said the price was only half of what she would pay in New York. If you love sushi, do yourself a favor and hit up Kusshi.“

“The chicken teriyaki and the sauce were so good. I got a bento box. The chicken dumplings were amazing too - so flavorful and very gingery, perfectly crisp without being overly chewy. The option for adding green onions and sesame seeds at the end is a huge bonus too“

“First time coming here and wow! The broth tastes very authentic and really enjoyed the sushi taco. The seaweed was crispy and wrapped nicely with the food that was inside. They also have udon as an option for noodles but you’ll have to pay extra, not by much though. The atmosphere is also very lovely!“

“just got ENGAGED!!!Oh and dinner was great too“

“A place I visit regularly, about once a month.

Among nearby sushi spots, this is the best place for nigiri. The balance between the sushi rice and the fish is excellent..the thickness and aging of the fish pair perfectly with the rice portion.

I often order the sashimi platter as well, which is always generous in portion. The udon and tempura are also great additions to enjoy alongside the sashimi.

There are just two areas that could be improved. First, using fresh wasabi would better match both the quality and the price point. Second, the front-of-house service could use more attention...each visit, we tend to be left waiting for a while upon arrival, which is a bit disappointing.“

“If you like udon soup, you must try this place! Best udon I’ve had in Maryland. Shumai is great too - fresh and didn’t taste too fishy. Sushi (Kani tempura) is not the best but man, this udon is to die for 👌🏽“

“Me and a friend visited this place for the first time. The food was really great and we enjoyed it a lot. Although they should add boba or smoothies. Different drinks to the menu would be even better! I’d definitely come back if they had boba and that ramen is so good. Please addd boba if you’re the owner!! The best part is the broth after you finish the meat and veggies yall. So much flavor and smells amazing. Very clean place and even the bathrooms are clean. No hairs in food it was perfect!!“

“Maki Bar is absolutely amazing. The sushi is super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made, and the ramen is just as good—rich broth, perfect noodles, and really satisfying. Everything on the menu feels high quality. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the staff makes you feel comfortable right away. Overall, it’s a great place to eat whether you’re going with friends or family. I definitely recommend that people come here—you won’t regret it. One of the best spots around for sushi and ramen!“

“I rarely ever a review but I had for Fuji Japan! Betty the owner was super sweet and the food was amazing! I go to a lot of Japanese or Hibachi places and this is by far my favorite. This would be 5 star review - lowest 4.8. Also very reasonable pricing and great portion size. Betty explained that the ingredients are home made and you can definitely tell the authentic taste!“

“5 stars - Have loved Tako for years! I miss the grill but the food is consistently tasty and presented beautifully.“

“Great sushi spot! The fish is always fresh, the flavors are well-balanced, and everything is prepared really neatly. I order from here often and have tried plenty of other sushi places in the area, but this one consistently delivers top quality. Definitely recommend! 🍣✨“

“I love this place, been here since I was a small child! There food is absolutely amazing! The owner is so nice and friendly along with the waiters and sushi chefs! Other places can’t compare to this place!“

“So there is a level of precision in presentation, with generous portions-delicious is a given,

The Women at the register are happy and efficient.

There is an unmistakable tension between the hispanic sous chefs and the main guy back there (Friday) which some may not care about. I am not trying to sound too woke and liberal. I am a foodie. In the style of nothing being hidden, somebody needs to take a joy class, or at least see it as good for business IMHO. I used to serve food in a monastery so I realize the bar is set high for me, but we would let the Donny and Debby Downers take the night off if they brought this energy into the kitchen.

Not the review you thought would happen. The food is amazing! I am not exagerating though. If I come to the door again and see the same tension-to include proximity scowls, then I’ll probably wait until another night and get a 5 Guys burger next door.

Otherwise it is a welcome change to quick food at night, on your way home, with a high quality to the brand ❤️“

“amazing food and service at the urbana, MD location“

“My second visit, and the first one for two companions, we went for lunch. The atmosphere is very nice, quiet but not overly so. The staff greeting at the door is very pleasant, with smiles all around. Takumi offers specials for lunch, for $16-$18, including a Sushi one. The specials are served on a beautiful dark wooden tray, which includes the appetizer (salad or miso soup), a choice of 4 main courses (I enjoyed both Don, a bowl or rice with either eel or chirashi, a mix of raw fish; also on offer is a shrimp tempura, and the third dish is a nigiri sushi roll, (choice of 4). With this comes a small tray with three compartments, one with a salad (I had squid once and seaweed once), two and a piece of soft tofu in a slightly sweet syrup to wrap up the meal. The a la carte menu is very tempting as well, and the special rolls are delicious. All fish is flown fresh from Japan, and included Hokkaido uni (sea urshin) which was wonderful. All around, a lovely experience. We will be back!“

“I've been to Shibuya several times since they opened. The quality of the ingredients is very high. Each individual part of the dishes whether it is the amazing pork belly, the marinated bamboo shoots, the rich broth or little marinated vegetable dishes, are outstanding. Service is kind and very helpful. Shibuya is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.“

“Great Hibachi or chef was excellent provided a nice show. The food and staff were both excellent!“

“Our shop ordered a feast to celebrate a birthday - not only was the food ready when we expected it to be, but it was all absolutely fantastic - thanks Moko Sushi for making our lunch a success :)“

“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“

“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!“

“Food and service are always excellent.“

“I absolutely love this place, I eat here in the regular my favorite fried dumplings and sushi, but I just think 1 ingredient is missing in the rice that makes it sticky because the Shushi falls apart and I have to eat it with a fork instead of chop sticks but IT'S DELICIOUS!!!!! I will continue to eat here until the end of time ??“

“One of the restaurants inside the Stamp Student Union. Seating in common Stamp dining area. Great poke bowls. Consistently delicious.
Michelle is the sweetest! She deserves a raise!

Parking: It’s on UMD campus so look at umd website for parking details. I wouldn’t recommend driving here.“

“This really cute little Japanese shop was a great experience. On the simple side, but sushi was delicious and my friends enjoyed their food as well (one got chicken soup, and one got chicken teriyaki noodles). The workers were also very welcoming and nice, especially when they learned it was our first time coming to eat there. Reasonable priced, will be back again :)“
