“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.“

“Every thing we had was so delicious. We started with genmaicha tea as it was a chilly day and then ordered appetizers.
The
tea was perfectly roasted and cozy. We had the rock shrimp and fried sweet potato- lightly fried and full of flavor. Next I had the salmon teriyaki and friend has Ramen. Also delicious, no complaints. The true winner was our waiter. He was so welcoming, accommodating, funny and kind. Will be back very soon.“

“The night before the Marine Corps Marathon, we celebrated our anniversary dinner with family and relatives at Satay Club, a cozy Malaysian restaurant tucked in the heart of Washington DC. I’m always on the lookout for authentic flavors — and this place truly impressed us with every bite.
We started our feast with their signature Satay — both chicken and lamb. Perfectly grilled with smoky charred edges, the skewers were tender and flavorful, complemented beautifully by the rich, nutty peanut sauce. It felt like a taste of Kuala Lumpur in DC!
Next came the salted fish fried rice, aromatic and full of wok hei (that irresistible smoky aroma). The balance of savory salted fish, soft egg, and crisp vegetables made it comfort food at its best. The calamari dish was crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with colorful bell peppers and crunchy shallots — a delightful mix of texture and spice.
We also loved the tofu and eggplant stir-fry, which came in a deliciously savory sauce — rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying. To end the evening, we indulged in ice chendol and fried banana, a sweet and refreshing finish that brought nostalgic memories of Southeast Asia.
Satay Club is a gem — family-run, warm, and truly authentic. A perfect place for Malaysian food lovers and a wonderful way to celebrate before marathon day! 🇲🇾🍢🍚💛“

“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!“

“I had been waiting 3 years ever since the sign went up saying this was coming to my area. Finally for my birthday I got the chance to go and it was not a let down. The front of house staff was very friendly and seated my party immediately. The waitress took no time at all to get our drinks and come back with them and take our complete order. We put everything in at the same time and they did an excellent job of pacing the salads, appetizers, and main meal. The food was absolutely fantastic and gorgeous to look at. I will be returning so we can sit for a hibachi show! The only thing is I slyly mentioned it was my birthday hoping to get a song, but that did not happen lol.“

“It’s a new place serving a new demographic, and for only being open about two months, they’re doing fairly well overall.
Most issues were operational. We were given a happy hour menu after the hours had passed, there was a small order mix-up that staff corrected quickly, and we waited a while for the bill. Arrival was also slightly confusing since the mall entrance was closed and we had to locate a rear entrance on our own.
Food-wise, the sashimi was average, the miso soup solid (4/5), and the snow crab roll was excellent and easily the highlight.
Overall, a good experience with some normal early growing pains. I enjoyed it, though it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way to recommend just yet.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious, served fresh, and authentic.
We recently moved to the area and have been on the hunt to find a go-to sushi spot. I think we found it! Portions were great, price was fair, and it felt great supporting a local business over all the chains around Rockville and Bethesda. A couple chefs and one super friendly woman serving the food.
This isn’t the place you go to for a full on dining experience with fancy/expensive cocktails. Because the majority of their business is takeout, everything was served out of to-go containers. As long as you don’t have issues with this, as we didn’t, you’ll enjoy it.
Best fried tofu I’ve had in the US.“

“Great food and quite an experience. There is the food on the circling belt that keep turning and you pick the plate that appeals to you, or you order from the tablet on top of table and the plate arrives on the top belt. Fascinating. I loved it“

“We went to Kusshi on Valentine’s Day and had a great meal. The sushi never misses. Our go to is always the spice rock shrimp, firecracker roll and got beef. It was super busy but we were still able to get a table. The staff was killing it and stayed calm and focused under the pressure of a super busy night. Thanks for making our v-day special!“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! The owners are very kind and the food is great, fresh, and competitively priced. I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Will be returning and telling my friends about it. Plus, while you wait for your sushi, you can shop the little mart that feels like a tiny piece of Japan right in Bethesda!“

“I have been coming here for years and every single time I visit it is reinforced for me that this is far and away the very best sushi in the area. The people who run this place are absolutely amazing and the care they put into the service, atmosphere, and food quality is unparalleled. I will come here for as long as it exists. Thank you all 🙏🏼“

“Tremendous sushi and sake. Great atmosphere. Have been coming here for many years. Always a treat.“
“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 gave Asian Palace a try for lunch and had a great experience. The Pick 3 Sushi Lunch Special is not only a great deal but also delicious! I get the Alaskan roll, Spicy Yellowtail, and Veggie Tempura roll with a house salad. All three rolls are so good and the salad dressing is amazing. We have also tried Chicken Satay (the best I have ever had), the Godzilla roll, Spicy Fancy roll and the egg drop soup. All were fantastic. We will be definitely be making this a regular spot!“

“Oh my gosh!! Seriously SO GOOD! I came on a Friday lunch and the food was tasty, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The Japanese skewers were mouthwatering and the sushi is of course incredible. The miso soup even tasted fresh and well prepared. The ambiance is amazing. The staff wonderful and kind. 100/10 experience for my first time here. Thank you!“
“This is my favorite sushi place in DMV area. The owner is professional: the size of nigiri sushi with balanced rice and raw fish ratio, and provide pre-order plater wit the perfect condition without making them in advance so that they do not stored in fridge which is great.
Below is $100 plater with Sashimi, Nigiri, and rolls.“

“This is only my third time coming here but each time gets better😭 I’ve lived here my whole life and only like salmon with cooked meat or cucumber rolls so I started making my own but now I get my maki combo with crunch and eel sauce and mind my business. Next time I’m getting roe added. This place is definitely a gem. The miso soup of good too. I tried the seaweed salad but it was too fishy for me (that may be a good thing to some). My mother loves this place too🥰“

“Been coming here as my personal Favorite ramen restaurant for about 4 years now. I have to say with the level of quality, taste, and service all are amazing. The wait is always worth it. The sushi is fresh and I'd recommend any of the tuna, while I don't like salmon, it's still fresh and tasty. They're very kind about mistakes and are quick to fix any issues. The volcano base with the spicy pork belly is my go-to, but all the options are great. The rotating appetizers are always fun to experiment with but the karaage is my favorite! The desserts are hit or miss but I'd definitely recommend the ramen, bowls, udon, and appetizers! I hope to see this business grow in time. Bark!~“

“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.“

“If you love Mexican seafood, ceviches, and margaritas, this place is for you. Mariscos Culiacán, right on University Blvd in Takoma Park, seriously delivers.
I had the Original Tajín Margarita (their spicy-style margarita), and it was amazing—perfectly balanced with a great kick. The Aguachiles were fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. But the star of the night was the Ceviche Especial—absolutely unbelievable. Super fresh seafood with bold, well-seasoned flavors.
What really sets this place apart is the combination of authentic Mexican mariscos and sushi. You can enjoy ceviches, tostadas, cocteles, and sushi rolls all in one visit, and everything works.
The space is big and lively with lots of screens, giving it a fun sports bar vibe. They also have happy hour from 4–7 PM plus daily specials, which makes it an easy win.
If you’re into ceviches, margaritas, and bold Mexican flavors, I highly recommend Mariscos Culiacán. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Recently ate here and I am interested in coming back to try something else. I got the arctic shrimp roll. It was pretty good but I didn’t read that it was rice paper instead of seaweed. The chef seemed a bit irritated by my mistake so I just left it alone.“

“$2 Crazy Hour is absolutely insane! They have a great selection of sushi and various appetizers. The sushi is the same high quality as their dinner service ,the fish pieces are huge and incredibly fresh. The alcohol are 50% off, and the selection is massive,they're not stingy like other places that only offer one or two brands. It's a super friendly restaurant, and you absolutely cannot find a better deal in town!“

“I absolutely love Pantry!! It is my go to guilty pleasure. I basically order take out once a week from here. The pork fried rice in my favorite and arguably the best fried rice in the city. I also LOVE the sushi and always get the tuna avocado roll. This place is super accommodating if you have gluten allergy, they can make most rice and noodle dishes gluten-free and they even have a gluten-free soy sauce! Service is always a 10/10, they are super sweet. They also have pretty good happy hour deals and a market that sells gluten-free Ramen noodles. If you can’t tell already, I love this place!!!!“

“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.“

“I absolutely love Qu! My boyfriend and I grab dinner from there at least once a week. We’ve tried the tonkoto miso, beef, and the shrimp ramen! All so flavorful and filling! The sushi tacos are also to die for. They always taste fresh as they are! Last by not least the customer service is great. They always speak, smile, and food is prepared quickly! You have to try!!! Some of the best Ramen ever, by far.“

“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 👌🏽“

“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!“

“Overall Summary Review : 4.5 / 5
Great service, good music, fast food. Good food all around. Only dislike is the miso ramen. Didn't have as much new soul and deaf flavor that I was hoping for as I don't eat pork. And so I didn't end up eating the ramen and they were able to remove that from my check due to me not eating and liking it so that is why I rounded up to five out of five stars instead of having it 4. Worth trying has a large range of options.“
