50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Colesville

“The restaurant was impeccably clean, very cool decor. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and a good price for the portions. They were playing some early 2000s hits which really added to the atmosphere. Drinks were delicious and perfectly balanced. So many food and drink options. Food came out quickly and hot. Best crab rangoons i’ve ever tried!!! i prefer a tempura sushi and the shrimp tempura was perfect. Our serve was very on top of checking in and was prompt with bringing boxes, the bill etc. the bidder was also right on top of things, he’d cleared the table before we even finished signing the bill. Overall, a wonderful experience and i will definitely be back!“

“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 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“

“Great sushi place to try!“

“This is my go-to poke bowl spot whenever I visit my parents in Rockville, and honestly, I feel like it’s a bit underrated because it’s so damn good. The salmon is always incredibly fresh, and I love pairing it with imitation crab.

My usual toppings are scallions, sesame seeds, sweet onions, mixed greens, spinach, lettuce, seaweed salad (a must), sweet corn, edamame, cucumbers, cilantro, masago, and sweet egg. The portions are generous, the flavors are consistently great, and the price is very fair for the quality you get.

Definitely one of my favorite poke spots in the area!“

“The whole menu here is excellent. Both the sushi and the sake are thoughtfully and chosen and prepared. The attention to detail both in the menu and the decor shows the care and dedication they put into the food. I highly recommend Shinwa to anyone who appreciates exceptional sushi.“

“This was my first time here and all of the servers were so helpful in making my decision. I couldn’t decide so I chose two rolls: the Out of Control and the Crispy tuna. The crispy tuna is deep fried but didn’t taste that way! It was very flavorful and so was the out of control, which is not a fried roll. I also had the white seared tuna for happy hour. I will certainly be back soon! Highly recommend!“

“We had a fantastic dinner! Great food and great staff. We had a variety of appetizers and rolls; with the crispy rice, torch roll and Maryland roll being the best! Thank you Linda for the recommendations, you didn’t let us down! We will be back to try Linda’s other favorite dishes. :)“

“I ordered the pork katsu curry and it was perfect. The katsu was crisped just right—golden and crunchy on the outside while still tender inside. The curry itself was thick and savory with a deep, comforting flavor, and it had plenty of pork pieces, which made it feel really filling. The rice balanced everything out perfectly and soaked up the sauce so well.

The place was pretty busy, but we got lucky and found a table. It’s clearly popular, and after eating here, it makes sense why. Despite the crowd, the staff was fast and efficient with getting food out, which I really appreciated.

Service stood out too—everyone was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. One small detail I liked was the waitress complimenting my rose pink debit card, which just added a nice personal touch to the experience.

Another bonus is the location—it’s right under a Japanese grocery store, which makes it super convenient if you want to grab anything before or after your meal.

Overall, it’s definitely worth the price. Great food, solid portions, and excellent service. I’d absolutely come back and would recommend it to anyone who loves authentic Japanese food.“

“Food is good. They unfortunately charge extra for some toppings which is not stated on their physical menu. I was told I can choose my toppings at the end while the chef prepared my meal. When I got to the end they told me, adding an egg would be extra even though the egg is listed as a topping choice on the page where it asks you to choose between a Teriyaki bowl or a bento box.“

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

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“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.“

“I've been to Shibuya Eatery many times, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tastes. A lot of places can make food look good, but here you can actually taste the quality of the ingredients. Every ingredient seems like it was chosen for a reason.

The ramen is easily one of the best I've had in the area. The broth is rich and full of flavor without being too salty, and you can tell it takes time to make. The noodles have a great texture, the toppings are always fresh, and the portions are filling without feeling excessive. I've also tried a couple of the rice bowls, which are equally as amazing. Everything tastes balanced, and each ingredient adds something to the dish instead of just taking up space.

What I appreciate most is the consistency. I've never had a meal that felt like it was rushed or disappointing. Whether I'm dining in or grabbing food to go, the quality has always been the same. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food comes out surprisingly fast.

There are plenty of places to get Japanese food, but Shibuya Eatery stands out because it feels like they genuinely care about what they're serving. The flavors are authentic, the ingredients are high quality, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's become one of those restaurants that I recommend without hesitation because I know people will leave impressed. If you're in the Chevy Chase area and want great Japanese food made with care, this place is absolutely worth trying.“

“Five stars for our waitress Jai, she made the experience! We went on a Sunday around 4:00-ish and had so much fun. We ordered three rounds of sushi and dessert. It is $15-20 a specialty roll, but they have really good portion sizes. Jai got our food out fast, was consistently swinging by to check in, and was prompt with the check. She also totally sold us on their sushi brunch, which we will be going back for!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I'm changing my review and recommend trying this place now.

My first review was not good because of the service. This time the service was excellent.

We sat outside which is a huge plus in my book. I love sitting outdoors in nice days. The tables were clean and the atmosphere was nice.

The food was very good. It always has been. It was just that the service sucked, but now that it's in par this place is a great option for sushi in Bethesda.“

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

“Whenever I'm having a hard day I work, I buy a very specific ramen order through Uber Eats. The kind workers always go out of their way to specialize my ramen and provide a relaxing meal to soothe my workday. 2 years in and I've never been disappointed.“

“We had a really great experience here. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and nicely prepared. Everything tasted good and came out in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant had a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere which made the meal even more enjoyable.

Our servers, Amy and Linda, were both amazing. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit.

Overall we really enjoyed the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back again!“

“No frills hole in a wall place. Great and welcoming staff. Great service. First time here and I got the spring garden roll and my friend and I split the green bamboo roll. One of the only places that I have been too that offers more than 1 type of veggie roll; plenty of veggie maki rolls. Rolls are large and they are generous with the filling and toppings. Got a bottled green tea. They do not serve alcohol. They accept credit card. I will absolutely be returning and telling everyone I know about this place. Next to Great shopping and there is plenty of parking!

One suggestion is to have a bottle of Sriracha on hand just to add a bit of spice to the veggie rolls.“

“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 :)“

“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 🤗❤“

“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 👌🏽“

“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.“

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

“The cook was great gesture playing with knives and preparing food“

“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.“

“I stopped in on a rainy cold Saturday to grab dinner. I was craving a big bowl of soup given the weather and Fuji delivered. I got the shrimp yaki soba with broth (but you can also get rice) and it totally hit the spot. Warm, flavorful and full of vegetables. It was reasonably priced for a big bowl.
I also got the summer sushi roll which was delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.“

“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 ❤️“

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

“Never been here all 4 years, but found it a couple weeks ago and I can’t get enough. Love the lunch deal it comes with two rolls and a soup which is the perfect amount of the food. The fish taste very fresh and the portions are great for the price. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Back to the scene of Lan’s and my first date!“

“We had luch there today. I ordered teriaky chicken and my sister ordered mango shrimp. Both were very delicious. Danny, the Indonesian waiter was great. Attentive, courteous, friendly, and professional. I would definitely recommend this place for Asian cuisine lovers. They also have sushi“

“I have nothing but good things to say about Gourmet Asian Bistro (7224 Muncaster Mill Rd, Derwood, MD 20855). It offers Chinese, Thai, and sushi. I've eaten there 3 times in the past 2 weeks, and it's been excellent every time and affordable! The vegetable tofu soup ($2.95) is huge, satisfying, and full of veggies. The wonton soup ($2.95) has 3 good sized wontons. Both soups come with a bowl of tastier-than-average fried wonton strips on the side that I end up munching on during the entire meal. The sizzling black pepper beef ($16.95?) was tasty, but I was more impressed by the noodle dishes. The beef chow fun ($14.95?) and the Singapore mei fun ($13.95) were beautifully seasoned and cooked perfectly. I've also gotten the salmon nigiri ($5.95?) a couple times, and it's generously portioned and fresh with great quality salmon. Every meal ends with a complimentary tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream and fortune cookie. There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants in MoCo, but Gourmet Asian Bistro is my current favorite for best flavor and value.“

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

“Tried Kusshi in Bethesda recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere without feeling too loud or crowded, and the location in Woodmont Triangle makes it a nice spot for dinner before walking around downtown after. Sushi tasted fresh and presentation was really well done. You can tell they pay attention to quality instead of just rushing plates out.

We ordered a mix of rolls, appetizers, and drinks and honestly everything came out pretty quickly. The crispy rice and specialty rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering too much which I appreciated.

Prices are definitely on the higher side compared to casual sushi spots, but that’s kind of expected for the area and quality level. Overall a really solid place for date night, dinner with friends, or just when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale than average.“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“It is a good place to eat and have fun.“

“Our family ate lunch in Kobe today. Good experience. The manager is really nice. She recommended us order Angel hair roll and salmon avocado roll. Fresh and tasty. We also ordered hibachi dish, worth the money. Definitely recommend to my friends.“

“me and another person went in and ordered some wings and a couple sushi plates. the sushi was great, i enjoyed all sushi platters i ate, and was at a reasonable price too. our server ariana who did an amazing service job. she waited very attentively and was a big help as this was our first time eating here, and i will say that everything we ordered at her recommendation was amazing. i’m definitely planning on eating here again soon.“

“I love coming to Aji Nippon when I feel like eating sushi. It is run by the nicest couple and they are always so welcoming when me and my family come in. The atmosphere is great, everything is very clean, and the food is delicious! I would absolutely recommend coming here if you are in the mood for sushi and want to support a small business at the same time!“

“love it here! great asian options in a comfy location!“
