50 Best Sushi Bars near Colesville

“Ninja Sushi should be packed on a Friday evening. The Japanese food they serve is healthy and delicious. Our waitress was exceptional served us a plate of crunchy crab on the house. The only disappointment was the seafood soup. We both enjoyed the salmon shrimp, tempura calamari, and sumptuous, creamy cheesecake. We were surprised at the amount of food we got for under $50. I highly recommend this unpretentious, family friendly restaurant in Colesville.“

“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“

“Fantastic spot for sushi in Columbia. Was not expecting much from a mall restaurant but was pleasantly surprised.

The oysters were a delight, the sashimi was very fresh, and the sushi rolls we ordered were delicious. Service was fast and attentive. Great quality for price. Will definitely be back.“

“Joko was absolutely amazing! Incredibly talented, funny, and engaging—he made the whole experience unforgettable. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Joko truly made this one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had!“

“A beautiful restaurant boasting an amazing and attentive staff, Sushiko provides an excellent culinary experience with high quality sushi especially of note the fresh wasabi which I highly recommend to those with a proper taste for it as it elevates each and every dish. The Hamachi crudo while a small dish, was so flavorful and well put together I had to order it a second time. The grapefruit added acidic components to the dish while also attributing to the texture while the ponzu sauce provided A wonderful savory palette.“

“We love this place the most out of all the sushi places in Columbia, MD.
To start with the restaurant, it is very cozy.

All the shushi is fresh.

“The food was delicious, the owner and staff were very kind especially with our 13 month old who about 45 minutes in was getting very stubborn and wanted to walk around.

I would highly recommend the laksa, which was my favorite dish out of the 5 we ordered. The lamb satay came second. Ask for some extra sambal, it wasn’t too sweet but the perfect amount of spice!!“

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

“#DCGourmet

Well, DCGourmet now endorses a third sushi joint in the DC area, vs previously only two. A friend invited me here, and I am so glad we went! Lovely, calm and clean atmosphere plus super fresh and artistic, symphonically harmonious sushi. I even loved the miso soup, which is an item I usually skip, but took a chance this time. It was hot, flavorful, DELICIOUS, and unlike any miso I’d ever had before.

DC area sushi usually disappoints. I assure you this place pleases to the nines. It has 4.8 stars for good reason. Come see for yourself!“

“Have never dined in before here but am a regular take out customer and can confidently say that this is excellent sushi for the price, you can't beat it. The quality of the sushi is great and the fried veggie dumplings are awesome. If you ever want some take out sushi and don't want the ridiculous prices that other sushi places offer this is 100% the way to go. Would strongly recommend.“

“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.“

“Totally underrated sushi restaurant! I lived in Japan for the better part of my adult life and every time I come to Maki Bar (at least once a month at this point) I'm impressed by the size of the cuts of sashimi, the amount and flavor of the tempura shrimp udon (my go to order!), and all my friends and family I've brought have been equally blown away. Their special rolls have all tasted great too. The Salmon Special is the photo I've attached and was a dream for a salmon lover like me! Can't recommend them enough!“

“There are no words to describe this place. You will never find better food for $12 in your life I promise you that. I was skeptical at first seeing as they are inside a gas station but hands down 10/10!“

“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!“

“Salmon with citrus roe. I’m a fan. The shopping center left me questioning the idea of buying sushi from a 7-11. This though is a separate business. I took it to Clara Barton’s house in case it wasn’t good and I needed a nurse, but it turns out not only is she not here right now, but the sushi was excellent.“

“You can’t go wrong at Raku, their food is fantastic, well cooked and fresh!“

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

“Doki Doki Sushi at The Heights Foodhall in Bethesda delivers an outstanding sushi experience with its diverse menu of fresh, high-quality dishes. Co-founded by James Beard-nominated chef Kevin Tien, the restaurant is known for its meticulously crafted maki rolls, crudo, and sashimi. The casual yet refined setting, combined with attentive service and convenient QR code ordering, makes it a top choice for sushi lovers.“

“Closer to a 4.5. Food was high quality and very fresh. Atmosphere was really fun; the conveyor belt and robot were a great novely.

My partner really enjoyed the fried chicken bites. I loved the eel. The vegetable tempura was way overpriced for the amount you get and their brand of "spicy" seemed to be Sriracha mayo.

The waitstaff were phenomenal and really a big part of selling the place.“

“This is the only sushi place I order from now! Been going here for over a year now and it has never disappointed. Luckily, their indoor dining has opened again as well. Their takeout is always fresh and the quality of their sushi is perfect. Best of all, the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough!“

“I can't say enough good things about this place. It's a very busy little place but they run it very fast and efficiently. They even apologized in advance for how long it was going to take and it still came out fast. We ordered multiple things and all of them were amazing. The spicy pork belly ramen was outstanding and the crispy shrimp shumai was great too.“

“This is a great spot to share a meal with family, a hangout with friends, or a solo meal. I enjoy happy hour here most. The food is tasty, with good portions for the price. Sushi is tasty and fresh, the dumplings are yummy and full of flavor. The drinks are on point, the bar tender is great. The customer service is great, staff is cheerful, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant is decorated nicely with many windows for natural lighting and a nice view. I recommend visiting this spot, one of my favs in the area.“

“Tremendous sushi and sake. Great atmosphere. Have been coming here for many years. Always a treat.“

“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 :)“

“This place is awesome ! Good food, great staff, beautiful atmosphere. You can tell that they put time , love, and care into their dishes and cocktails. 10/10 would recommend!“

“It is a small shop packed with all sorts of excellent Japanese foods and other items and they also have great fresh handmade sushi. It is run by a Wife and her Husband and they are super friendly and it really feels quite homey in there while also being a store. Lots of family mementos on the wall and usually some classical music on the speaker but you cannot help but want to keep going back there everything is really good and some stuff is even cheaper than other places (not everything) Take some time and look around you won't be disappointed.“

“This is a great place to shop as a vegan. They have so many vegan products. They have so many delicious vegan options at their food bar too. I love how you can get a healthy vegan meal at a relatively decent price when on the go. They also have lots of vegan options in thier bakery like vegan muffins, scones, donuts, turnovers, and cookies. This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick meal.“

“We live in the neighborhood and love ordering from Pantry. Their soups and Thai food are perfect for nights in. I mainly order their sushi but have enjoyed everything on the menu so far. Their delivery is pretty quick too. So glad we have them here!!“

“Hidden gem!! Inside of Lotte International Market is this high quality sushi takeout. Delicious dragon crunch roll and amazing deals on all the chef special nigiri and roll combos. The fish is so fresh and tuna is a beautiful dark red. Cannot wait to go back!“

“Good, cheap, quick sushi.

Food is decent for the price, especially their lunch specials (nearly half price). There are fancier options even in Bethesda if that is what you want, yet I come here about once a week.

A true gem if your expectations match their hole-in-the-wall vibe, with American-style (sweet) but good-tasting sushi, soft jazz music playing in the background. This is fully comparable with other similar options in Rockville (noticeably better imho in some ways - faster service, fewer menu choices).

Most customers seem to order either delivery or pickup, so seating never seems an issue (since the pandemic, even at lunchtime, while the nearby NIH still hasn't demanded full return to the workplace). Servers vary depending on who is there but food is always consistently high quality, at least over the last year.

I will definitely return, again and again and again.:-)“

“My family are regulars. I was initially worried that opening a Japanese place just two blocks from Sushi Jin wouldn’t be good for either restaurant but we’ve been going to both at least 1/mo since Kushi opened. Outside of sushi, their menus are pretty different and have their own strengths. Highly recommend Kushi’s chicken katsu and curries. Kushi wings are also great. Staff has always been nice and there’s usually another table with kids, like us. But it’s not crazy. It’s a great space but half the time it can get a bit (cooking) smoky.

Kid-friendliness: This is not a place for rowdy kids since it’s one big open space for everyone to hear and see anything that might go crazy. But the staff is flexible and perfectly welcoming for grade-school aged kids. There’s also never a line for either of the (gender-less) bathrooms.“

“Spices is always delicious. It’s one of our go-tos in the neighborhood and has literally never been a disappointment. When you have a spot like this, it’s not easy to remember to give them a review. It’s just such a part of our routine you forget how important online reviews are for restaurants.My personal favorites are their lychee martinis and crab wontons. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and the staff are always very kind.“

“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.“

“Excellent choice of sushi resturant that fits in between casual and fine dining. It has an extensive menu of Japanese choices so you are not limited to sushi. I went with their sushi special offered with finer cuts of fish and was impressed with the selection. I also tried their truffle shoyu ramen and did not think it was that great. The egg which should be one of the best parts is not properly prepared. The broth just felt lacking and not rich in flavor. They gave a lot of noodles but did not find them to be very tasty. It was my fault because this is a sushi resturant and ramen is not their speciality.“

“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.“

“5 star cozy very friendly food is the Bomb. eat here 1 a week.“

“I don’t often give five star rating on all criteria but they were exceptional. Here’s what I wrote on trip advisor: A nice and cozy spot, the staff are extremely kind. The sushi is made where the public can see so it is a bit more alleviating to those who are worried about the cleanliness. I really appreciate the kindness after accidentally spilling tea and making a bit of a mess. I recommend this spot :)“

“Great restaurant. Better than the other place in Bethesda.“

“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.“

“Amazing sushi place, the happy hour pricing is great and the service was phenomenal.

The sushi itself was well prepared and delicious. We sat outside on the patio and we were checked on frequently which was appreciated.

Definitely the best sushi I've had in DC in quite a bit, and pretty affordable too.“

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

“Great service and delicious, fresh food.“

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

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

“I went on Thursday for lunch. The sesame chicken was good, but I wasn’t particularly impressed by the mango boba. They must’ve been understaffed, because I had to wait a long time to have my order taken, despite being the only person in line. When someone did eventually take my order, he did so efficiently, which I appreciate.“

“To this day, this is probably the best place in the area for some Chinese takeout. This is the usual go for parties and always give us extra goodies from fried chicken, rolls, etc. Yet, most recently the food was a bit off… hopefully it was just an unlucky batch otherwise it would be a bummer to see this place go downhill.“

“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 👌🏽“

“Most Delicious Beef & Shrimp Teriyaki (White Steamed Rice) in town! Teriyaki Kaizen is going to be my new Go-to Spot for fantastic Japanese food. ?

The Restaurant is clean and smells great.

The Staff are all very friendly and fast.
Thank you for your warm service Miss, Blanca

“This was a great experience. Grace was very attentive. But I want to call out the sushi rolls themselves. These were some of the best rolls in Maryland, major props to the chef. This place is a hidden gem, hole in the wall place. It's awesome, yes it's small but cozy highly recommend dropping by and grabbing a roll or two.
I experienced the Red roll and yummy yummy.“
