50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Colesville

“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.“

“Our family loves Taipei Tokyo's food. We always use curbside pickup and have never been disappointed. Quick service, discounts, delicious food and a huge selection of dishes. We recently placed an order for eight people and they all enjoyed their dinners very much!“

“Delicious sushi made fresh! It was so good and I had no idea they have been in business for 3 years! I ordered the small sushi platter and they were willing to customize the rolls for me. My new go to sushi spot when I am in the area. Looking forward to trying the Ethiopian food!“

“This used to be my neighborhood sushi restaurant. I live in NYC now and I never miss an opportunity to dine at SushiKo when in DC. The fish is super-fresh and beautifully prepared. The staff is attentive without being overbearing. The wine list is very good. Am already thinking about the next visit.“

“This place is an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 but it's better than the sun of its parts. We ordered a good selection of food and it was all good. The ambiance was good, chill, the service was prompt and attentive. Presentation was immaculate. The fish was really spectacular and tasted great. Soft, beautifully sliced, and no sticky slimy to be felt. Can especially recommend the white Flint roll, very creative blend of flavors and textures. The only complaint is that the nigiri construction could be better. It was too little rice to the point where the fish to rice ratio felt skewed and the necessary support under the fish was not present. There was also no adhesion of fish to rice, leading to the nigiri falling apart often. Maybe a small dab of wasabi or slightly stickier rice will remedy the problem. Still a great sushi restaurant and worth a visit.“

“Temari Japanese Cafe has become a pretty classic Rockville staple for delicious authentic Japanese food! It does fill up pretty fast on Friday and weekend evenings, so be sure to come early. On my most recent trip I got the Katsu Curry, one of my favorite Japanese comfort food dishes. The curry was thick, rich, and super delicious; bold with flavors, and had potatoes, onions, and beef chunks! Which in combination with the crispy pork katsu on top, its a great combination. They give you plenty of rice and curry too, I just wish there was a bit more katsu given the size of the rest of the plate. Service is really great too, servers are friendly and attentive. I've been here multiple times and it's always a pleasure to dine here.“

“I went here for lunch as I was looking for something a little bit light and this place did not disappoint. Their menu consist of customizable sushi, bowls, and sushi burritos, as well as a variety of drinks and small bites. I got the B5 silver spring roll without the wonton chips and with added eel sauce. The service was very quick and the woman working in the store was very kind and helpful. My burrito was really good and the fish tasted fresh. I opted to eat in my car, but there is plenty of seating within the establishment if you have a small party. This place is located next to the LA fitness in the shopping center. if I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely stop here for a quick bite.“

“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.“

“Lots and lots of food options (don’t forget to look at their Menu Specials, separate from their regular menu). Loved that their menu was marked for dietary restrictions (I.e., GF) so we did not have to ask additional on how the dish was prepared. The server was very attentive and all dishes came out fast and fresh. Absolutely loved their garlic fried rice, good to have in addition to sushi rolls.Dietary restrictions: Menu is marked with all GF options.“

“First time visiting & it was good. Dining in with beer & sake:Takoyaki: exceptional, definitely order them if visiting.Shrimp Shumai: good.Gyoza: tried steamed and probably be better to order fried.Rolls: Philadelphia & Salmon with Avocado - both good.Suggestions: Takoyaki & Shumai, any rolls. Could skip Gyoza.General information: this place is pretty busy, so you may want to make a reservation for a party. Seating consists of dining room & outside patio. Place itself across from Whole Foods. Parking garage is 5 minutes walk.Pricewise: about $85 with 3 appetizers to share, 2 rolls, sake & beer.“

“Yummy food with a great atmosphere! I had the Salman Gohan, which is a bowl with rice with salmon, corn, and other great flavors on top. The ratio was good to mix everything together, with a bit of rice left over at the end. It tasted very good, but it cost $18. The portion was sufficient for a meal, but I would have liked a bit more salmon for the price. The quality is good, but for $18 I prolly would have preferred all you can eat dinner at the dining hall. The service was really good and any questions I asked were promptly and politely answered. I got my food 5 minutes after the time I was told by the automated text message, and this wasn’t good because the person I was with had to catch their bus. The atmosphere is great, with a wood and plant theme. The kitchen is visible and connect to a tabletop with barstools. There is a cool large mural on one wall. I will definitely be back here to try some ramen and onigiri, but for now I give Onikama Ramen Bar 4 stars!“

“It's a small sushi restaurant on a busy street but there's a public parking garage a couple of feet away. The workers/owners? were nice and quick with service. Even offered recommendations. Not sure if they get a lot of dine-in customers because my friend and I were the only ones there around 6pm. At the end of our meal the server gave us a small plate of fruit, yum! I would definitely go back for a second round.“

“My husband and I have been coming here for the last 9 years! This is our favorite place. The Sizzling black pepper beef and hot and sour soup is by far my favorite on the menu! The whole menu is delicious and the service is FANTASTIC, the atmosphere is homey and welcoming!!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!“

“The food is very good. I was incredibly impressed by the service and overall quality of the food. The ambiance is weird. It is almost like a food court in how it's set up. Regardless, the food we got was incredible and they were very attentive to us when we went. Their gyoza is fantastic and their sashimi just melts in your mouth.“

“We order pick up 2-3 times a month here. The tempura shrimp appetizer always comes hot and crunchy. The sizes of fish in their hand rolls are generous. The inside of the restaurant is usually empty when I pick up my orders , but they are busy with takeout.Recommend to people who are looking for a good Japanese takeout place in Rockville.“

“We haven't been here since the pandemic, and it was a wonderful rediscovery of the place. We had the Triple Delight Sushi and the Shrimp and Veggie tempura;they were both very succulent and fresh. The servings were huge, for me at least.Service was excellent, and the service charge was already added to the bill, which is a nice change from having to do the math ?, though we did give additional tip as the service was really good.“

“Recently went to Fuji Japan since most restaurants in the area were closed and my parents and I were craving some type of Asian cuisine.Food is average, but decent given the price. It's a casual restaurant so when ordering you go up to the counter and pay for your food. If you decide to dine-in they'll serve you. Service is fairly quick though so no complaints about that. I had tried their boba which was not the best but not the worst. I don't think I would get it again in comparison to actually boba stores. It's definitely not tea based but I'm just glad it wasn't overly sweet. The tapioca tasted pretty good though! I recommend their miso soup but their salad and tempura you can skip out on.“

“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 “

“I got the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was rich. The slices of pork were fresh, juicy, tender, slightly sweet, and abundant. There were at least 6 slices in that bowl. The assortment of vegetables and narutomaki added unique, delicious tastes and textures to the dish. Their food presentation is perfect. You'd have to see it to believe it. The ramen actually looks like it's straight out of those food commercials and restaurant food posters. All in all, it's a great place to eat.“

“Overall, I think Moby Dick Sushi is a great spot in the downtown Wheaton area to get your sushi fix. Actually, it's now my go-to sushi spot. I've visited this place on a few occasions, and I have not had any issues with my food and service. Moby Dick has a pretty extension menu that includes traditional and "fancy" food items. For the things that I have ordered (typically the general sushi dinners and basic rolls), I thought the prices are in line with other decent sushi spots in the area. The restaurant is a bit small with about 5-7 tables, so it probably will not work out well if you plan on dining there with 5+ people in your party. Also, the restaurant seems to be geared toward pickup and delivery orders. For instance, I do not think the restaurant has a restroom for customers. If you decide the dine-in, be aware that you will have people constantly walking past you to make or pick up their orders at the front counter.“

“This review is for 2 sushi rolls; I'll update this later if I try some other items. Bento Express opened about a year ago, across the street from my neighborhood. Its fast food Japanese, which is new to me. I was late coming home last night and in a pinch for food so I finally gave this spot a try. I got two salmon rolls, the Salmon Lover and the Spicy Salmon Roll, which were $9.95 and $6.95 respectively. Compared to a normal restaurant the pricing is great, especially given that the fish and ingredients were all very fresh. Downside is that neither rolls had much flavor, which is kind of odd considering they were both drizzled with spicy mayo sauce. Usually I don't need soy sauce for a lot of my sushi but in this case I did. Food Quality: 5 stars Food Flavor: 2.5 stars Value: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambience: 4 stars Honestly, despite the lack of flavor in the rolls, the food seemed so fresh that I'd give it another try.“

“High quality food, service, and setting. Highly recommend the toro, maguro, and chicken teriyaki don bowl.I also really appreciate that the water cup is a full sized 24oz cup.To top it all off, some miso soup to conclude lunch rounded out an excellent experience. Grateful I stopped by and will come back several more times!“

“This is the best food I've had in the past couple of years!!!! Very fresh, well prepared, excellent customer service, everything I've had in this restaurant tasted amazing. I highly recommend this place. If I ever win the lottery or something, I'll eat here every day 3-4 times per day :)“

“While exploring the area, I decided to satisfy my craving for sushi and discovered Kusshi, a restaurant highly praised for its quality.Despite Pike & Rose being renowned for upscale dining experiences, I was surprised when I stepped into Kusshi and found it cramped and crowded, with an unconventional layout inside. The contrast between the inviting exterior and the somewhat chaotic interior was unexpected, reminding me not to judge a restaurant solely by its appearance.However, I was pleasantly surprised by the efficient and speedy service.Although my sushi was slightly flattened by the time I reached home, it still delivered on taste, and my dining experience was enjoyable overall.Parking: With where the restaurant is nestled you’ll have to pay for parking.“

“We recently dined at Koto Sake Steakhouse and Sushi and enjoyed a delightful experience. I ordered the chicken and shrimp teriyaki, while my boyfriend opted for the salmon and shrimp. The food was delicious, the ambiance inside was pleasant, and the chef’s skills with the hibachi grill were impressive. We look forward to returning soon!“

“Good value and food was very good. Spring roll was a little soft but otherwise the food was excellent. A full plate of food for about 10 bucks. Yum yum. Quick lunch place,if you can find a spot in the lot at lunch. That center has a few lunch spots when im in Kensington, and parking can be sparse.“

“Definitely a place to stop by to enjoy some sushi. We had the shrimp tempura, California roll, spicy tuna eel, and the ramen. Atmosphere was great; staff were attentive and very professional. Def looking forward to trying out the entire menu. I drove so I couldn't order from the drink menu. There is quite a selection. My phone died before I could take pictures of the drink menu. Stop by and get your sushi on.“

“I grew up in Seattle and recently had a craving for just some basic Americanized teriyaki. First I tried Go-Stir Fry Express in Wheaton mall... was a bit disappointed, but it scratched the itch. Then I tried Hibachi Express in Kensington - Much better, not bad at all. But I like this one even more. They ask if you want extra teriyaki on top at the end, and they have more vegetables and chile sauce available (If I were to guess, probably just your run of the mill Huy-Fong Chili Garlic Sauce, but it's a nice contrast on your veggies and rice to the sweet . There's a white sauce too, but I cannot hang with mayo and I am 99% sure it's probably based on mayo. Only problem is that if I am going to Bestway across the street now, I have to decide between this, Aarash Market, or Pupuseria Vanessa if I'm hungry.“

“If you are looking for ramen, then I think you're goin, which comes with roasted pork belly, fish cg to enjoy Maki Bar! I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen, which came with roasted pork belly, a little bit of corn, bok choy, scallion and seaweed. The pork belly was tasty. Almost kind of smoky but delicious and not too fatty. The broth was flavorful as well. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was super clean, and it was busy with a lot of take out orders. They even have sushi platters here in case you want to have a party at home! I recommend you come in person if you're going to have ramen. This is more of a place you'd come (or order out) for a casual meal. Maybe not for a date night.“

“I've come to La Fantome multiple times for group lunches, thought I'd try out this kitchen since a lot people from my group order here. I do like the ability to order from your phone, it allows you time to look over the menu & not feel rushed. Customer service was good, only interacted with a server when they delivered my food. Had the California Roll which was good for the price. Will order from here again.“

“I can not describe how much this orange chicken saved my day! It had been a long day and since it was late there weren’t many options. However, I called Bite of Asia 10 minutes before they closed and they were still able to make me an amazing meal in 6 minutes. Truly amazing! Also the gentleman at the front was so kind and welcoming!!“

“Just a great Japanese express restaurant since I had the combination of chicken, beef, and shrimp, in addition to the General Tso's chicken were just phenomenal and the Godzilla roll was just a blast. 9/10 just could include a few more items on the menu.“

“Neighborhood, favorite and go to restaurant. Sushi is excellent. We always start with the Russian roulette and it's so much fun, anticipating who gets the wasabi bullet. Service is quick. Cramped space due to its popularity. I would love for them to offer better wines.“

“Absolutely loved it! The rolls are delicious and perfectly done. I got California Roll, Spicy Shrimp Roll and Eel Avocado Roll; the atmosphere is so calm and clean. I was hesitant to try but it’s a most, I may have found my new fav sushi place.“

“Best sushi ever! My family and I love Moko Sushi and dine there on a regular basis. The service is outstanding. The atmosphere is causal. The sushi is consistently fresh. The yellow tail and scallops melt in your mouth. I highly recommend Moko Sushi.“

“This restaurant has been a local favorite for generations. The sushi is always excellent quality. Great service too. And the clean, polished atmosphere is a perfect compliment to the food.If you are a fan of garlic chili oil, try the black and red roll. It has bold chili and garlic flavors paired with great textures.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian rolls, salads, and tofu options are delicious. I can happily create a healthy vegetarian meal at Niowana Hana.Kid-friendliness: If your kids are ready for a nice restaurant you will find a good experience here. No kid menu, but what kid doesn't enjoy some sticky rice?“

“I love pike kitchen! The vegan bulgogi bibimbap is the best, I am excited to try the vegan dosirak next. They handled an issue with my uber eats order very professionally and kindly. The issue was on ubers end but uber refused to refund me (surprisingly) so Pike Kitchen made it right instead. I really appreciated their understanding of the situation. That level of customer service inspires me to order from them more often for sure. I hope they can expand their veggie options as they are so delicious, healthy and fresh.“

“I have been coming to Isushi since I was at least 13, and I’m 25… I came in today and it’s gone. I will MISS THEM FOREVER!!!! I hope you guys see this! I love you guys very much. I hope all is well. This really is heartbreaking to see you go!!!! Please let me know if you’re going elsewhere!!!“

“Really good, fresh sushi. Every time I go. Actually this is my go to place, for sushi, when I don't want to drive too far. I frequent the Tropical Thunder, Dynamite, Maryland and Volcano Rolls. I also like the bento boxes, when I want a variety of food. My husband loves the teriyaki plates. The Yum Yum sauce is super spicy! Sweet, but spicy.“

“This is a great little place. We were looking for a quick place to get sushi without spending a fortune. Ordered the fried cream cheese wontons (not fantastic but tasty), and two sushi burritos (raging bull and the crouching tiger). Both were excellent and filling. Definitely recommend this place. It is a small place in a strip mall setting.“

“Really good Chinese wasn’t a long wait very patient on the phone when we called in the order. I ordered about $130 worth of food so that was a plus. We asked for certain things to made specifically and everything came as ordered. Very impressed would highly recommend.“

“My wife and I went to Hanaro during lunch time, but it was only for takeout. There were some crumbs on the floor and some dust by the waiting area, but the store was fairly clean. The price of the sushi is reasonable and the taste and flavor of the sushi is of the highest quality. I am giving this restaurant a four-star rating because the taste of the sushi was truly exceptional and of the highest quality. Despite some minor cleanliness issues, the reasonable price and outstanding flavor make Hanaro a great choice for sushi lovers.“

“Very solid Chinese takeout. The customer service was great and delivery was quick. I thought the food was good and the price reasonable for a causal, quick, Chinese meal when you don’t feel like leaving the house. It’s my go to for that scenario.“

“My wife loves the beef chow foon. The noodles are always smooth, soft, and savory and the beef used is so tender that it practically melts in your mouth. We highly recommend trying them! Just be sure to eat them fresh as that's when they taste the best!“

“Hubby had been bemoaning lack of good fast casual hibachi near us, the other options he'd tried being less than desirable. So when I saw Kobe had such good reviews, we had to give it a try. All in all I was quite happy with our meals. I had a beef + noodle bento (noodles are 50c extra but absolutely worth it), he had a chicken bento. It was all good, but the chicken was better than the beef, mainly because the beef was just slightly overdone. They'd gotten a nice char on it but went too far as it was no longer juicy on the inside. The chicken on the other hand had a nice outer char but was still nice and juicy. Both were well marinated, as were the noodles that came with my bento (delicious!). The bento also came with a few pieces of california roll (which were just fine), two fried dumplings (which were also fine) and two crab rangoons (which were definitely heavier on the cream-cheese and scallion than crab, I'm not sure whether any crabs were actually harmed in the making of these...but they tasted good so that's all I care about).The meal size was just a little bigger than I needed to be full. Probably not a split-in-two size, but a good single meal size, and besides the fried sides wouldn't keep well. The prices are reasonable, each bento was in the 10-11 dollar range plus the upcharges. I had read that yum yum sauce was an upcharge, but the lady brought us two to our table. I'd definitely order them, they are quite tasty, kind of like a fruity mayo flavor. They had canned sodas so we split one. IIRC there were about half a dozen tables if you want to eat in. I'm thinking next time I might order a bowl instead of a bento and take part of it home. I think I read the bowls come with veggies in addition to the meat and rice/noodles. I will definitely get the noodles though as they are super yum.“

“Food is delicious! ? They have a bento box, sushi and all kinds of noodle combinations. Salmon, chicken beef. Near Montgomery College. Go here for lunch great prices. Food delicious they truly deserve 5 stars ? can eat inside. Parking is available, they have water, teas sodas no alcohol but really great food. It's a hit!“

“Clean and good service. This location is new in Westfield Wheaton across from CostcoVegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options on the Japanese menuDietary restrictions: Some ingredients can be customized to suit your needsParking: Large mall parking lotKid-friendliness: Good for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible“

“The hibachi shrimp bento box was really good. Everything was nicely seasoned. The dumplings and spring rolls were fried but not greasy. The California roll was good too. The quality of their sticky rice for the hibachi was great and they give you a lot. Service was quick and it’s made fresh to order. They ask you if you want teriyaki sauce on top of the hibachi before serving it. All plates come with a side of yum yum sauce. Quiet atmosphere, not the best plaza or neighborhood but it’s always busy and looks like they sell a lot. Will be back.“

“What a cute little business. The staff more than takes good care of you and answers all questions in a very knowledgeable manner. The food is very tasty along with the speed that service is rendered. The only knock is that they were a little slow on bringing extra water. If I happen to be around there in the future I would certainly stop in again.“

“I went for the happy hour deal $2 per piece of nigiri sushi. The sushi was fresh and the fish was very tender. I also ordered the pork shoyu ramen which was delicious. Inside the restaurant is small but they have outdoor dining during the warmer months.“
