34 Best Sushi Bars near Laurel

“Great restaurant. Better than the other place in Bethesda.“

“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.“

“It was my first time there my daughter took me she said you got to try this please it did not disappoint the dumplings are amazing they have so much variety you can't go wrong with none of it you at least have to try this place once even for lunch“

“Omg- we came here last minute for my daughter’s 10th birthday. I called and asked if I can bring cake with us and they said yes! We showed up around 8pm and was welcomed with open arms. Immediately sat. The atmosphere is so cute. I can’t believe Starbucks used to be here.
Our server Ruth took great care of us and took special care of the birthday girl. The food was very fresh and delicious. The drinks were tasty too! We ordered the branzino, crab fried rice w shrimp, shrimp tempura rolls, and shrimp nigiri. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back just to see Ruth 🤗❤“

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

“What is it about astronaut-types who love sushi? This might be a generalization but Osaka is a NASA haunt. I’m pretty sure this sushi restaurant’s bread-and-butter is due in part to the fact they are literally across the street from NASA and know how to serve delicious sushi with decades of veteran expertise.

Osaka Japanese Restaurant offers tasty and reliable dishes. And has for many years. It does not have a fusion menu or flashy decor. It does has traditional Japanese fare that you will enjoy and likely come back for.

The sushi bar, itself, is small. I’ve sat at it a few times, over the years, and found it a friendly and comfortable place to dine alone. The service in the large dining area is usually austere and efficient. I’ve only ever seen one waiter work the entire restaurant at night and he does it well.

When we dined here, recently, I was in a Japanese comfort food mood. So, this review is devoid of any raw seafood reflections. There are many, many options outside of sushi to choose from at Osaka.

I was relieved to know that our dishes came with miso soup and a ginger dressing salad, as should be normal at full-service Japanese restaurants. The dressing was so good that I sipped most all it after the salad was gone. I lost all of my dignity and sipped it like soup.

I ordered a Bento Box. The Bento Boxes are impressive, here, because of their variety and portion size. We enjoyed Bento Box “B,” with salmon teriyaki, 6 California rolls, shrimp and vegetable tempura, gyoza dumplings and white rice.

I wouldn’t dare ask for a California roll substitution because I’m guessing everyone else does and classically Bento Boxes are not ‘make your own’. But I abhor the painted-red faux crabmeat in California rolls which one finds at many restaurants and markets. Not these rolls, at Osaka, however! I actually more-than-liked their California rolls and Ican honestly say I do not usually eat them without removing the meat. Not here. This is really saying a lot about their food quality, here. I didn’t ask but I think they actually use real crab meat instead of the pollock or otherwise fish blend that 95% of places use in California rolls. When you’re in the state of Maryland eating California rolls, faux crab meat is heresy.

The salmon teriyaki in the Bento Box B was a tastey surprise! It was super-fresh, perfectly seared and not overcooked. The shrimp tempura were average/fine. The vegetable tempura was even better: asparagus, eggplant and a yam. I think the fried coating could have been lighter and airier but it was not too thick.

The gyoza dumplings were a definite stand-out: were these homemade?! They must have been because they were expertly seasoned, delightfully herby and aromatic. Must get more gyoza!

Entree #2 was pork katsu called Ton Katsu. The pork was good but I much prefer their chicken katsu. The person I was sharing these dishes with preferred pork. It was good and well-seasoned. The ton katsu sauce was complex and the umami was definitely there. It was thick, smoky and dark. Not at all sweet. We also requested the sweeter teriyaki sauce on the side and I ended up using equal parts of each.

The second standout at Osaka was the cabbage side dish which came with the pork ton katsu entree. This was a lovely and unique presentation of thinly-sliced cabbage along with other flavors. I don’t know if they also offer this as an appetizer but I really liked it. I also added some ginger dressing to it and tasted even better.

All in all Osaka Japanese Restaurant in Greenbelt is maybe overlooked and should never be because their sushi and entrees are at least reliably classic and good, if not delicious and - at times - even surprising.“

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

“This is a great place to shop as a vegan. They have so many vegan products. They have so many delicious vegan options at their food bar too. I love how you can get a healthy vegan meal at a relatively decent price when on the go. They also have lots of vegan options in thier bakery like vegan muffins, scones, donuts, turnovers, and cookies. This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick meal.“

“If you love Mexican seafood, ceviches, and margaritas, this place is for you. Mariscos Culiacán, right on University Blvd in Takoma Park, seriously delivers.
I had the Original Tajín Margarita (their spicy-style margarita), and it was amazing—perfectly balanced with a great kick. The Aguachiles were fresh, spicy, and full of flavor. But the star of the night was the Ceviche Especial—absolutely unbelievable. Super fresh seafood with bold, well-seasoned flavors.
What really sets this place apart is the combination of authentic Mexican mariscos and sushi. You can enjoy ceviches, tostadas, cocteles, and sushi rolls all in one visit, and everything works.
The space is big and lively with lots of screens, giving it a fun sports bar vibe. They also have happy hour from 4–7 PM plus daily specials, which makes it an easy win.
If you’re into ceviches, margaritas, and bold Mexican flavors, I highly recommend Mariscos Culiacán. I’ll definitely be back.“

“The sushi options here include the common rolls, but also a wide selection of interesting special rolls with a generous portion of contents in each roll. The price is really reasonable for the quality and amount of food offered, and the fish is always very fresh tasting.“

“Never been here all 4 years, but found it a couple weeks ago and I can’t get enough. Love the lunch deal it comes with two rolls and a soup which is the perfect amount of the food. The fish taste very fresh and the portions are great for the price. Highly recommend.“

“went there yesterday for my grandsons birthday. Manager and server Dominique were super great, food was outstanding. atmosphere was perfect. I loved it. Will be going back real soon.“

“Just the simple fact that Hoi can remember your order without taking one single note is amazing. Ive been here several times and now he knows all my orders without me saying anything other than same. He is very patient and attentive, he definitely is an asset. The food is also amazing, I've never had a bad experience!!“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“Got really delicious sweet and sour chicken with fried rice here for lunch; for someone who hates Chinese food, (I only eat it when I have limited choices), they did an awesome job! I will be a repeat customer. Side bar, the spring roll was not tasty at all hence 4 instead of 5 stars“

“Its a great place good sushi better than any grocery store sushi for sure but not the worlds greatest sushi but still very tasty
but the sushi isnt even the best thing on their menu at
least not to me the sushi Q specailty appitzer
which is fried crabmeat over sushi q sauce is the best thing
on their menu“

“Stopped here with my partner because we were tired on a long car trip home. We wanted a tasty meal! We both got a couple of sushi rolls. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing. I'm a big fan of avocado rolls, and the avocado was perfectly ripe and the most velvety, creamy texture to complement the rest of the roll. The rolls here are even better than some more expensive restaurants I've been to. The service was great and they even hooked us up with a couple of extras to enjoy. Definitely a great choice, would love to come back again!“

“My husband and I come here often for date nights. We have an excellent experience every single time. The food is always incredible and the service outstanding even when it's busy. The vibe is calm, quiet, fun, and elegant. Highly recommend East Moon to those in the Ellicott City area!!!“

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

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

“MY FAVORITE SUSHI SPOT!!! i beg my husband to take me to get sushi there or pick some up for me when he’s coming home from work. we live about 1 hour from there but it’s worth the trip. the people there are very kind. sushi is very fresh, good amount of portions and delicious. the price is not bad at all.“

“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 👌🏽“

“Me and my group of friends always come here to eat whenever we hangout.This spot is always our top go to place to go whenever we’re hungry and bored.The sushi here is amazing, especially the chicken teryaki rolls.The workers are so nice to us , and the place is overall amazing.However , I don’t really recommend online ordering.Sometimes the sushi will get smushed, it’s better to just order in person.But this place is honestly the best im genuinely impressed , the place is so quiet and calm whenever you enter its a great place to just chill.Me and my friends love it here!“

“Excellent sushi, sashimi, soup and drinks. Great friendly service.“

“This place was so good! Visiting from out of town so this was my first time. Beef & Chicken Combo with fried rice AMAZING. Green Dragon Roll was so flavorful and would 110% get it again with its little crunch, Rock n Roll sushi roll was delicious as well with the right amount of spice. The workers were so nice and welcoming.“

“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.“

“Most everything I get from here is good. Even the sushi rolls are decent. Prices are very reasonable even though they should update their menu to reflect the new prices. They have gone up at least $1 on everything, but you don't know until your total doesn't add up correctly. I'd suggest that they tape 1 menu with new pricing to the counter so people know what they're paying. The ladies are nice, food is always tasty and hot. Not the first place I would think of to dine in. Even though it's always clean, the setup is outdated and is more of cafeteria style than restaurant.“

“Good sushi with brown rice option and good steamed veggies.“
