35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Elkridge

“Accommodated a party of 7 on a Thursday night easily. We ordered two boats which did not take long to prepare. The restaurant was busy during the evening which was also a good sign. Seems like a popular spot! They also gave us complimentary appetizers and dessert to share which was a nice bonus too. Service was attentive and efficient. All of the sushi was delicious and the price is quite reasonable as well. I would certainly come back again.“

“outstanding food and service 🙂“

“The food was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—especially the high-quality cuts of wagyu, which were rich, tender. Every single bite was an experience in itself.
Angie, our server, truly elevated the evening. She was so sweet, warm, and genuinely attentive, anticipating our needs and making us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Her kindness and exceptional service did not go unnoticed. We’ll definitely be back for both the amazing food and Angie’s wonderful hospitality! ❤️“

“Me and my daughter had a beautiful shared experience here and this is now one of my favorite if not my favorite!!!! And the waitress is an amazing artist!!!!“

“10s across the board. I wish I had photos to show. I always eat my food before thinking of photos. I have ordered several dishes by door dash or walk in and you're always greeted, the atmosphere is clean and vibrant. The food is AMAZING ! SOOOOO fresh ! I usually get miso soup or Yum Yum soup. I've tried 3 sparking freshers thus far. AMAZING ! THE BEST dish I've had thus far was the teriyaki beef bowl. I couldn't get enough !! I have to have something from here at least once to twice a week. Especially the soups since it's cold out. You WON'T be disappointed 😁“

“Great place for sushi. we loved it“

“Great food and awesome staff.“

“I will drive out here from Baltimore to come to this Sushi place! I have never seen so many types of Sushi in one place. They have the classics as well and an abundance of unique rolls. They also offered complementary soup, appetizer and dessert. I couldn’t believe they kept coming out with complementary items and didn’t believe it till we got the bill LOl. The prices are amazing for the quality of sushi. I don’t usually eat a lot of raw sushi but I had the salmon avocado roll and it was divine. The food was prepared and out to us within 10 minutes or so. Amazing amazing amázing!“

“My coworkers and I love going here for lunch. Their hibachi, bentos, Ramen and sushi are so fresh each time. We prefer here over quick way or any other hibachi place in the area and we have some picky eaters here. You have to try their dumplings, beef and shrimp or bento boxes along with their tempura shrimps. We also love that for their Ramen, the meat or shrimp are separated from the broth and don't become soggy. Please give them a try, you won't be disappointed.“

“My son wanted to try a new local sushi restaurant, while I was visiting him in Columbia. This place was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. The staff was top notch. I'm sure my son will be returning there and I'll go anytime I'm in town“

“This is my husband and I’s second time trying out this place and it is delicious! I ordered the chicken bento box and that teriyaki sauce with the rice and crispy chicken is just the perfect combo along with everything else that comes in the box. My husband loves the volcano roll as well!“

“It was our 1st time visiting there, and really didn’t know what to choose. The cashier was very helpful with helping us decide by suggesting meals.. She was very patient and pleasant with us. The wait was very reasonable and the food was delicious too. Thank you for that welcoming experience. We’ll be back❣️“

“Good sushi 🍣 and hibachi food“

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

“This place is great if you're looking for sushi and bento boxes at a decent price. I highly recommend the Rock and Roll sushi roll. They can be a little stingy with their yummy sauce, but most place a stingy with sauce these days. My wife and I come here frequently, this is the spot for us.“

“If you ever find yourself at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), do yourself a favor and stop by Gachi Sushi across from Gate A9. I ordered the Triple Delight Roll, and it was incredible. It was beautifully presented, fresh, and packed with flavor. The avocado and spicy drizzle were perfectly balanced, and the textures were spot on. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, even in the middle of the busy terminal. Special shoutout to Budi, the general manager who’s been there for 14 years! His pride in the food and service truly shows. I’ll definitely be back. Whether you’re craving sushi before a flight or just looking for a great airport dining experience, Gachi Sushi is a must-try. Highly recommended! 🍣✈️“

“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.“

“Amazing friendly staff members. Food great nice cozy atmosphere 🍣🍰✨“

“if you have any time on your hands and you down that area I highly recommend it it's a good affordable place to eat at“

“This is one of our reliable Go To choices for quick dinner. The food is good and fast. There is usually a table because most people take out. It's clean and everyone is friendly without being weird.

Honestly , if you think about the archetype of a takeaway hibachi place this is what you're thinking about.

I've also never had a problem with allergies here even when I forget to mention i can't eat pork or shellfish so you know they do food safety just as a habit.“

“Our favorite place for Sushi. Had carry out tonight due to CoronaVirus quarantine and it was fantastic as usual. Can't wait until this comment is completely outdated (and things are back to normal again).“

“Great food, family friendly, attentive service, convenient parking.“

“I have been coming to this spot for over 2 years the food is great I usually have a good experience but today the host or cashier I was not expecting for her to be so defensive towards a paying customer for just pointing out an advertisement the establishment is promoting but doing the opposite ?? I don't know if your having a bad day or something but do better.“

“I’ve always passed by this place for YEARS and decided to try them out. I got the hibachi beef and hibachi shrimp and WOW is it good. The meat was tender and fried rice was cooked perfectly. The place is a vibe. I love how calm it is. I definitely would recommend. They also have a wide variety of sushi and some options for chinese food as well. Also great customer service. 10/10 recommended.“

“Their services is great.“
