I'm a vegetarian and was never a fan of sushi, but this place made me fall in love with them! Good food! Bento boxes are great! Good juices and drinks, overall a good experience
March 2025
Dining at this gem is always a delightful experience, consistently hitting the mark no matter when you visit. The welcoming and friendly staff ensure every meal feels special, while their sushi remains impeccably fresh and beautifully prepared. In particular, the Black Magic Roll is a standout—easily one of my favorite dishes, period.
Conveniently nestled in the heart of Kentlands, the location offers ample parking, making visits stress-free. Highly recommended...

For us this was a great find. It's the best sushi joint I've visited in Montgomery County yet. The Chef's Choice sashimi sampler is a must have item. The waitress gave really good recommendations, among which the White Tiger sushi roll was my favorite. Portions are generous. Flavors were satisfying - yes, each sushi roll had a distinctive and great taste, not something most sushi places can say. You can tell they have real sushi chefs working with real ingredients...
