30 Best Japanese Restaurants near Derwood

“We love the food and the variety of options, from Chinese, to Japanese, to Thai. Henry, Cindy and the staff are super nice and always treat us like family. We've been going for years, and we highly recommend Gourmet Asian Bistro!“

“We were pleased to find this restaurant: It is a bit out of our way, and due to road construction, we had to do some doubling back. I recall that the sashimi was fresh and the portions generous, but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor, perhaps because it was not served with a side of rice. I would return and try it again. Pictured are the sushi chefs, a wall inside, a sushi clock, and the outside of the restaurant.

Parking: There were several parking places in front and we had no trouble finding a spot.“

“This is my favorite poke bowl place! The food and toppings are fresh and delicious! The fried tofu is so good. They have a small staff, so if it’s at all busy, you might have to wait a while. But it’s so worth it!

Vegetarian options: Fried tofu is a protein option“

“My wife and I googled Osaka Ramen & Sushi restaurant and dined in here this past Tuesday night. She was a bit reluctant to eat here at first due to the basic decor and the fact that no one else was dining in. However, once we tasted the food and experienced the friendly and prompt service, we were overjoyed! We shared the Shumai for an appetizer, which was lightly fried with a delicious sauce. Next, I ordered the Miso Ramen which had lots of yellow noodles with vegetables and tofu. My wife ordered the Teriyaki Salmon which came with a salad, Miso Soup, six Sushi pieces. All the items were delicious. We also drank Saki. The server explained that the restaurant had just received their alcohol license weeks ago. To top off the meal, the server gave us each a sesame ball for dessert on the house. We ordered the Japanese egg rolls to go. The bill was only $64! As a new restaurant, we hope Osaka Ramen & Sushi thrives because the quality of food and the value are among the best we have tried in quite a while. We recommend this restaurant with 5 stars!“

“Excellent presentation in hibachi food tossing around and amazing our sights and senses!“

“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“

“Best Ramen I’ve ever had, though sometimes the service was slow. Coming back again in a couple weeks, it tasted so good!“

“Great price great eats inside of 99 grocery store.“

“Temari Cafe has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding with a comforting meal. The ramen with rich, flavorful broth and tender noodles were amazing!! However, the sashimi was slightly disappointing, as it didn’t seem as fresh. Overall, it’s a great spot for ramen and takoyaki .“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“Perfect place for a great deal of healthy food with great taste and reasonable price! We had two bento boxes $21.25 and $21.75, respectively, the two most expensive ones on the list. Every table is provided with a small but free salad and an miso soup. Served quickly.“

“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.“

“good food. good price. nice people“

“Love the grab and go here. Today I was hungry and the sushi summoned me. I tried a new roll, tuna/jalapeno/Cilantro and it is so good! Prices are reasonable and the guy is really nice. California rolls are fantastic. The crab meat they use is different than usual and my son and I both prefer it over other California rolls. Highly recommend!

(I forgot to take a photo until after I was almost done).“

“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.“

“Most delicious and fresh sushi ? I've ever had! I also got a soup and I loved it! So flavourful! They also have carry out, and a small but coze dining area where you are served happily by their staff dressed in traditional Japanese clothes. The sushi bar is nice for those who want to see the art of sushi making in action ? . I can't wait to go back!“

“This is literally the best Japanese restaurant. They have the best shrimp shuma. The service and atmosphere is awesome too! Little pricey but totally worth every penny. Awesome place in DC if you're looking for some authentic Japanese food! 💖“

“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 ❤️“

“Ordered the chicken katsu curry rice with fried rice, which came with a small side salad. It was really delicious! The breading on the chicken was nice and crunchy, the chicken wasn’t dry. The curry was slightly sweet, but just the right amount. The fried rice was simple with good flavor.

The only thing I would have wanted was a bit more curry. The presentation was nice with two layers of katsu and curry on top, but that meant the bottom layer of katsu didn’t really have curry so I felt like I had to ration while eating.“

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

“Great food quality! Delicious hibachi, one of the best I’ve even tasted (definitely recommend the #8 chicken beef and shrimp). The sushi is good too (My favorite is aspen hill roll). The staff were friendly too. They greet when you come in and say thank you when you leave. Awesome place to go! Definitely coming back!“

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

“I haven’t been there in a while and decided to take a lunch to go. When I arrived, I saw a sign at the door saying it opens at 11, and it was still only 10. They told me I can place my order. Everyone was so nice and polite. I was their first employee, and their smile really made my day. Plus the food was hot, fresh, a large portion and very affordable. I will definitely go more often.“

“Ordered hamachi kama and chicken teriyaki at the front desk. Promised ready to go in about 25 minutes. However, after checking three times, two boxes were not ready for us to go until 40 minutes… At home, two items were tasted average. The hamachi kama (priced $25) was expected to come with more vegetables.“

“This was one of the BEST sushi restaurants I’ve ever tried. Everything was flavorful, well thought out and made with care and attention to detail. The kale salad was fresh and the carrot ginger dressing was delicious. I had the miso soup and it was phenomenal. The table was very narrow so it was tricky having to move things around however that didn’t take away from the dining experience. The lemonades were amazing and the rolls were so amazing we couldn’t stop talking about the food after we left. 10/10 and I can’t wait to go back!“

“This is quick service food Japanese but absolutely some of the best ever for this type of service. I’ve eaten and tons of these and so far this is the highest quality and best prepared I’ve had since moving to Maryland 5 years ago. Delicious chicken and shrimp and the teriyaki sauce is as close to a real thick rich teriyaki as I have found outside of a really nice traditional restaurant. love traditional sit down Japanese and this really holds its own for a quick service offering. Very reasonable price considering the quality especially. Wish they had one closer to me in Columbia MD!“

“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 :)“

“Special Maki Roll: Green Dragon Maki ✅🔥 👌

Gyoza 🥟🤌 The best I've ever had. The dough wrapper so delicate it practically melted in my mouth.

Miso soup ✅ A classic, hard to mess up, but I really liked that it had many tofu & seaweed pieces.

The atmosphere is great, you can watch the Chef's prepare your rolls fresh behind the bar. The service was phenomenal and the prices very reasonable. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.“

“Good sushi, but you can tell they stopped caring about the interior a long time ago. Over half of the fountain drink options were out of service, including water. This was a Friday afternoon too. Worth a try for takeout but I don't recommend sit down.“
