29 Best Japanese Restaurants near Laurel

“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.“

“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.“

“03/22/2026-My first visit, amazing! This restaurant inside is lovely, large space, nice tables and chairs. The food was fresh, piping hot and plentiful! It appears crowded because so many people are in here! But it is enough room for all. The price is great for all you can eat buffet style. Yum!!!“

“I had a genuinely delicious experience at Teppanyaki Grill in Laurel Lakes Centre. The food was fresh, flavorful, and consistently well prepared, which is especially impressive for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. There was a wide variety of options, including good vegetarian selections, and everything was served hot and well seasoned. Our server, Beryl, did a marvelous job and was extremely attentive to our needs throughout the meal. Her friendly and professional service truly enhanced the experience, and we recommend her highly. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a great spot for both casual dining and groups. For the price, the value is excellent, and I will definitely be returning.“

“I always book here and have never been disappointed. I will go again and again.“

“My daughter and I went there today! The employees were very nice and friendly. The food was delicious and the place was nice and clean. This was our first time eating at a Ramen restaurant, the lady that took our order was very helpful. We will be back!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“

“Bar none the best sushi in Howard county. We’ve been steadies there for 15 plus years. Only wish we’d discovered it sooner. Highly recommend!!!“

“I absolutely love Qu! My boyfriend and I grab dinner from there at least once a week. We’ve tried the tonkoto miso, beef, and the shrimp ramen! All so flavorful and filling! The sushi tacos are also to die for. They always taste fresh as they are! Last by not least the customer service is great. They always speak, smile, and food is prepared quickly! You have to try!!! Some of the best Ramen ever, by far.“

“just got ENGAGED!!!Oh and dinner was great too“

“Me and a friend visited this place for the first time. The food was really great and we enjoyed it a lot. Although they should add boba or smoothies. Different drinks to the menu would be even better! I’d definitely come back if they had boba and that ramen is so good. Please addd boba if you’re the owner!! The best part is the broth after you finish the meat and veggies yall. So much flavor and smells amazing. Very clean place and even the bathrooms are clean. No hairs in food it was perfect!!“

“I ordered pick up.. The food was soooòoo good. Definitely will be back“

“Great sushi spot! The fish is always fresh, the flavors are well-balanced, and everything is prepared really neatly. I order from here often and have tried plenty of other sushi places in the area, but this one consistently delivers top quality. Definitely recommend! 🍣✨“

“If you like udon soup, you must try this place! Best udon I’ve had in Maryland. Shumai is great too - fresh and didn’t taste too fishy. Sushi (Kani tempura) is not the best but man, this udon is to die for 👌🏽“

“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“

“We had miso soup, salad, sushi, and sashimi, and it was all amazing. Very clean. Excellent service. Highly recommend!“

“Food and service are always excellent.“

“I absolutely love this place, I eat here in the regular my favorite fried dumplings and sushi, but I just think 1 ingredient is missing in the rice that makes it sticky because the Shushi falls apart and I have to eat it with a fork instead of chop sticks but IT'S DELICIOUS!!!!! I will continue to eat here until the end of time ??“

“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.“

“outstanding food and service 🙂“

“This is only my third time coming here but each time gets better😭 I’ve lived here my whole life and only like salmon with cooked meat or cucumber rolls so I started making my own but now I get my maki combo with crunch and eel sauce and mind my business. Next time I’m getting roe added. This place is definitely a gem. The miso soup of good too. I tried the seaweed salad but it was too fishy for me (that may be a good thing to some). My mother loves this place too🥰“

“One of the restaurants inside the Stamp Student Union. Seating in common Stamp dining area. Great poke bowls. Consistently delicious.
Michelle is the sweetest! She deserves a raise!

Parking: It’s on UMD campus so look at umd website for parking details. I wouldn’t recommend driving here.“
