This food is horrible!!! The meat is tough with no flavor. It's the worst Japanese restaurant I've ever experienced. I wish I could give it a negative

It is hard to rank anything as best, especially when your mood, companions and occasions are factored in. This is the best in Howard County without a doubt!

My family and I did not feel welcomed entering this restaurant. We still ordered due to our night plans and the food was subpar. Four out of 6 of my sushi were inedible due to shrimp shells.

Spicy Chirashi was tasty, and the service was good. My wife's spicy roll combination was also good size for dinner.

In my opinion, this is the best sushi in Maryland. Incredible quality, wonderful service, and a very laid-back setting. Every time I go to a different sushi restaurant, I always end up wishing i was here instead. All the staff are very nice and welcoming, and the service is always pretty quick. If you're just looking for great sushi without all the frills, this is the perfect place for you.

6.2.23I was in the mood for Asian cuisine tonight for dinner and don't eat Japanese very often so decided to come here to try their bento box. I went for the Chicken Teriyaki which came with rice, California rolls, gyoza, and shrimp/veggie tempura. The apps included miso soup and a sesame house salad. Loved the sesame dressing. It is the best dressing I have had at any Japanese restaurant.Onto my bento box. Of the veggie tempura my favorite was the sweet potato. The shrimp tempura was delish too. Loved the crunchiness. The tempura sauce and soy sauce for the gyoza were delish too. On the sweeter side which I like. The teriyaki sauce for the chicken was so yummy I dipped my jasmine rice in it. I believe a good sauce or marinade is key to making everything taste better. The chicken was broiled and generally I prefer it to be roasted or grilled. It was on the softer side and I prefer the texture to be crisp. I normally don't like California rolls, but thought I would be adventurous and try it again. Big mistake, I choked on the wasabi. I don't do spicy. My eyes started watering and I had to gulp water. So much for trying to be adventurous. The restaurant is small. There are counter seats where they make sushi and tables on each end of the restaurant.They are located in Frederick Crossing. They have a lunch menu on weekdays from 11:30-3pm. I will need to take advantage of that next time. For my next visit, I'ld like to try the Chicken Katsu or Katsu Donburi.

The seafood rice is literally my favorite thing to get. It's a light refreshing meal that hits perfectly in the summer and the warmer days. The fish is fresher than the other spots I tried, a little heavy on the lettuce but it's probably because they want to be stingy on giving more seafood. Please keep in mind it's raw fish. The miso soup was also pleasant. The service was fast and the servers were attentive. I didn't try the undo my partner was the one who order it. In regards to "ambiance" it's chill and quite. A nice place where you can come to sit and enjoy yourself or other company. Something sitting alone with your thoughts while eating fresh food is all you need to finish your day off.
