Japanese Restaurants near Forest Hill

“Generally, I would give this restaurant five stars but my last visit the food was a waste of money. I ordered a lunch special.The chicken seemed very dry and the pork fried rice wasn’t any better. I threw away the two meals and wish I would have went somewhere else to eat.“

“I enjoyed it!I was skeptical at first because I have heard bad things about this place but I'm glad we went. It was a random, we want sushi so let's stop here. Although I have had better sashimi, the miso soup was great, we ordered seconds. Not a fan of imitation crab meat so I got the Baltimore roll but just a tad bit to much Old Bay. Overall, it was still great service (Thanks Kat), good food and quiet.The prices are legit, we ordered a bunch of things off the menu so the tab was higher than it probably would have been if she wasn't Hangry.“

“It's definitely one of the top sushi spots in Harford County. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you go inside, the decor and atmosphere are quite nice. They offer sushi, hibachi, and also, beer, wine, and sake. They had a 2 or 3 roll special when my wife and I dined. The special didn't include all the rolls on the menu, but it includes the majority. We ordered miso soup, seaweed salad, and a 3 roll special. We chose the Good time Roll, the Tiffany Roll, and the Mexican Roll. They were well made and delicious! Nice presentation as well. For dessert, we ordered fried ice cream. It was a tempora coated scoop of vanilla. Delicious! Service staff was great! We will be back.“

“I think this is the best sushi spot in Bel Air 2024, now that I have gone to all of them. FOOD In appetizers, I tried the takoyaki, edamame, karaage, and ground chicken lettuce wrap things. They were all decent but nothing stood out nearly as well as the dinosaur eggs (which are not eggs, but a sushi thing), and so I strongly recommend those. Nice to see something unique and tasty! In terms of the other food, my friend gets various rolls and everything I have tried has been tasty. But I'm a big sashimi fan, especially as I can tell the quality of the fish after I've had it. And this is pretty good quality! That quality is a part of what sets this place apart from the other sushi spots in Bel Aid. SERVICE I've had the same woman serve us every time I went by coincidence, but she's always been very polite and well attentive without being pushy. Really liked her. AMBIANCE It's a casual and family friendly spot but also good for dates. There are booths that are decently well separated from other people so you do feel like you can get some hint of privacy here. Lighting and music were pleasant.“

“Friendly over the phone, and in person. Not the fanciest place but very clean and inviting. The food is a notch above the average Asian take out, for the same price. Huge juicy chicken pieces, so tired of getting mostly breading from Chinese take out and I never get that here. Consistently fresh tasting. Appetizers like egg rolls and soup also taste fresh and well made instead of after thoughts. Wontons have good filling and broth is tasty. To be fair me and the wife really on get the basic stuff, sesame amd general tsos chicken, but it's excellent. I'm sure the rest of the menu is probably similar quality. Usually spend about 15$ for a dinner for two. Definitely the best Asian take out I've found in the belcamp/aberdeen area.“

“Took my son here when husband was in the hospital and we needed a dinner break. My son loves Asian food and he said this was one of the best entrees he's had in our area! Service was good and dinner was quick. We highly recommend this restaurant. The Pad Thai was delicious!“

“Hibachi Express has a wide variety of meals from suchi to udon. I started with the Miso Soup with Seaweed, tofu, and enoki mushrooms. The enoki were a special treat. The Seaweed salad was delicious and served on a bed of crispy lettuce. The sushi combo I chose had 4 pieces of Tuna Nigiri and 8 pieces of Spicy Tuna Roll with the usual condiments of pickled ginger, Wasabi paste, and soy. The sushi was artfully arranged and fresh. There is seating at tables for those who dine in and for those waiting for their carryout orders. Service is very efficient, and the overall dining area was bright and clean. It's definitely worth many return visits.“

“Hibachi cooking serving our seated bunch of 10 people.Fascinating to watch the culinary chef go abt his business, tossing meats into our waiting mouths using his spatula-type utensil!!Extremely expensive for the whole experience, making it a once-a-year deal for my family, and not more often.Kid-friendliness: Appealed to our younger kids with the performance to the extent my eight-year-old son sd he wntd to go back to eat there every week!!“

“I have been going to the Orient restaurant in Towson since the 90's. I was hesitant to try this location because I didn't know if it would be as good. Everything was amazing! Just as good as I remembered and I was so impressed they were able to be so consistent for so long. We had the California rolls, sesame chicken, green beans and triple delight. Everything was delicious!!!“
