46 Best Japanese Restaurants near Olney

“Tremendous sushi and sake. Great atmosphere. Have been coming here for many years. Always a treat.“

“Very accommodating. I ordered thru uber eats and mentioned in the notes that my order was for a 2 year old and they took it upon themselves to cut the chicken up in really small pieces. I really appreciated them doing that. Food is always fresh. Never ate inside, ordering only.“

“Amazing!! Family owned business, and the portions + prices made the commercial poke bowl restaurants look embarrassing!! I only got the regular size but look how much salmon came with mine! Will be back, can’t believe i’ve lived here forever and have not had this place.“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“Great price great eats inside of 99 grocery store.“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“We visited for the first time this evening, on the recommendation of a friend who’s been dining at Temari for years. Just as she told us it would be, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Business was steady. When we left, there were two parties waiting to be seated, which for a small establishment speaks volumes. Despite being busy, the servers were engaging and attentive (always offering to clear debris and empty dishes from the table, too). The food presentation was timely and appealing. When seated, we ordered tea, which was lovely, and served in the most beautiful - possibly handmade? - mugs. I look forward to returning.“

“Bento is a spot that never misses. I live close by so I’ve been coming here to eat for years and I have not once been disappointed. The prices have always been affordable and the portions have been very filling. I enjoyed a shrimp teriyaki from here today and the shrimp was fresh, perfectly seared on the outside and crispy, but not too overcooked to where it has a chewy texture. Just perfect. Amazing service. Amazing food. Amazing staff.“

“We've eaten here 4 or 5 times and have been really pleased with the food and the service.“

“Excellent food . The sushi,grilled squid,yellow tail collar and the seafood udon were all delicious. The server was most kind and gracious despite the fact she had so many tables to wait on the the time
The staff overall is truly commended for their hospitality and presentation.“

“This place surprised me greatly. I've tried Japanese food, but this one has a delicious flavor. I loved it. The place is small and very clean, which is an important detail to note if you're going to eat there. The service was very good. I liked it a lot. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent presentation in hibachi food tossing around and amazing our sights and senses!“

“A place I visit regularly, about once a month.

Among nearby sushi spots, this is the best place for nigiri. The balance between the sushi rice and the fish is excellent..the thickness and aging of the fish pair perfectly with the rice portion.

I often order the sashimi platter as well, which is always generous in portion. The udon and tempura are also great additions to enjoy alongside the sashimi.

There are just two areas that could be improved. First, using fresh wasabi would better match both the quality and the price point. Second, the front-of-house service could use more attention...each visit, we tend to be left waiting for a while upon arrival, which is a bit disappointing.“

“Guys...

If you remember the OG Lakeforest Mall days, you'll know what's up...This was Nori Japan from the Food Court

Since the sad demise of the mall, they've finally opened up, rebranded, and better than ever.
Same warm & friendly faces that you used to remember from the food court.

10/10, 5/5

That same great food you used to love & enjoy is back, and even better.“

“I rarely ever a review but I had for Fuji Japan! Betty the owner was super sweet and the food was amazing! I go to a lot of Japanese or Hibachi places and this is by far my favorite. This would be 5 star review - lowest 4.8. Also very reasonable pricing and great portion size. Betty explained that the ingredients are home made and you can definitely tell the authentic taste!“

“So there is a level of precision in presentation, with generous portions-delicious is a given,

The Women at the register are happy and efficient.

There is an unmistakable tension between the hispanic sous chefs and the main guy back there (Friday) which some may not care about. I am not trying to sound too woke and liberal. I am a foodie. In the style of nothing being hidden, somebody needs to take a joy class, or at least see it as good for business IMHO. I used to serve food in a monastery so I realize the bar is set high for me, but we would let the Donny and Debby Downers take the night off if they brought this energy into the kitchen.

Not the review you thought would happen. The food is amazing! I am not exagerating though. If I come to the door again and see the same tension-to include proximity scowls, then I’ll probably wait until another night and get a 5 Guys burger next door.

Otherwise it is a welcome change to quick food at night, on your way home, with a high quality to the brand ❤️“

“amazing food and service at the urbana, MD location“

“Our go-to place -- lots of good food. We get takeout chicken hibachi with 1 extra chicken, and switch between fried rice and lo mein. Beef and shrimp are also good. For 2 people with the extra, we can pay $35! Reasonable price. Without the adjustments, it's <$30 for 2 people and still plenty of food. Consistent quality. Also they're fast, and responsive on the phone to orders, it's always ready when I arrive.“

“Our shop ordered a feast to celebrate a birthday - not only was the food ready when we expected it to be, but it was all absolutely fantastic - thanks Moko Sushi for making our lunch a success :)“

“Dined at Ninja Sushi for the first time today after having it on my list for long, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! Everything was amazing from their delicious and beautiful rolls to their impeccable service. Atmosphere was calming with art along the walls and music playing lowly in the background. We will be coming back!“

“Very good little bowls! There's lots of options to choose from, and it looks pretty. The amount of fish in the Sake Don is pretty good for what you pay. Note that this place is inside a food court; if you're not digging the shared table scene, consider ordering to go.“

“Amazing sushi! I've tried Kusshi, kura Sushi, and Uzu Sushi in the Rockville area and was not impressed with their quality at all. However, Sushi Toro is always consistent with their quality especially for their price. The sushi tastes amazing and fresh, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is perfect for a date night or a casual dinner with friends. Easily the best sushi I've had in Rockville. Highly recommend!“

“Food and service are always excellent.“

“I haven’t been there in a while and decided to take a lunch to go. When I arrived, I saw a sign at the door saying it opens at 11, and it was still only 10. They told me I can place my order. Everyone was so nice and polite. I was their first employee, and their smile really made my day. Plus the food was hot, fresh, a large portion and very affordable. I will definitely go more often.“

“Kema by Kenaki is simply delicious, pure and honest from the very first bite. The food is beautifully executed, full of flavor, and thoughtfully prepared without unnecessary complexity. Every dish feels balanced, clean, and intentional, letting quality ingredients truly shine.

The experience is refined yet approachable, the kind of place where you can appreciate technique without feeling overwhelmed. Flavors are memorable, comforting, and elegant at the same time, making it easy to enjoy every course.

Kema by Kenaki delivers exactly what great food should do. It leaves you satisfied, impressed, and already thinking about coming back.“

“5 stars for 5 reasons

1. All the rolls we got were delicious! Lava and tiger roll were done perfectly. Fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation

2. The cosmo drink was good! Lychee flavored and it was strong.

3. The price is relatively average considering it was in Rockville time square

4. Amount of food appears to be a lot for what you pay.

5. Our waiter Ari was attentive and super nice. atmosphere and decor was awesome!“

“Our sorority held a fundraiser with Kusshi recently, and not only were they easy to work with and incredibly generous, but the service was helpful and quick, and the food was beautifully plated, fresh and delicious. Def recommend going for a nice night out!“

“Second time here and still amazing. I look forward to grabbing a meal here before my tattoo sessions. The food is Filling and flavorful. Then the staff are great and happy to help me make decisions. Perfect price for a hefty portion. And the Strawberry Drink is Delicious.“

“Everything was delicious, served fresh, and authentic.

We recently moved to the area and have been on the hunt to find a go-to sushi spot. I think we found it! Portions were great, price was fair, and it felt great supporting a local business over all the chains around Rockville and Bethesda. A couple chefs and one super friendly woman serving the food.

This isn’t the place you go to for a full on dining experience with fancy/expensive cocktails. Because the majority of their business is takeout, everything was served out of to-go containers. As long as you don’t have issues with this, as we didn’t, you’ll enjoy it.

Best fried tofu I’ve had in the US.“

“Love the North Riverside location they’re always delicious and the customer service is friendly and welcoming to say the least.“

“Good sushi, but you can tell they stopped caring about the interior a long time ago. Over half of the fountain drink options were out of service, including water. This was a Friday afternoon too. Worth a try for takeout but I don't recommend sit down.“

“Amazing taste!!!! We have been coming since 2022 and never have been disappointed!!!! They are at time limited staffing trying to perfect the many customers!!! Perhaps some have had mini run ins that haven’t exactly been best experience but trust me, there’s many franchises in the Metro area however this location’s taste is the authentic one!!!!“

“Great experience here today for my husband’s birthday lunch! 🎂 sushi was delicious and service hospitable. 🍣“

“Very yummy sushi! Everything we had was delicious“

“I have nothing but good things to say about Gourmet Asian Bistro (7224 Muncaster Mill Rd, Derwood, MD 20855). It offers Chinese, Thai, and sushi. I've eaten there 3 times in the past 2 weeks, and it's been excellent every time and affordable! The vegetable tofu soup ($2.95) is huge, satisfying, and full of veggies. The wonton soup ($2.95) has 3 good sized wontons. Both soups come with a bowl of tastier-than-average fried wonton strips on the side that I end up munching on during the entire meal. The sizzling black pepper beef ($16.95?) was tasty, but I was more impressed by the noodle dishes. The beef chow fun ($14.95?) and the Singapore mei fun ($13.95) were beautifully seasoned and cooked perfectly. I've also gotten the salmon nigiri ($5.95?) a couple times, and it's generously portioned and fresh with great quality salmon. Every meal ends with a complimentary tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream and fortune cookie. There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants in MoCo, but Gourmet Asian Bistro is my current favorite for best flavor and value.“

“Hi - I had the spicy tuna roll. The tuna tasted fresh - as I had expected, being that I might have been the first customer of the day. So everything was fresh. But it was the texture of the rice that threw things off for me. I wasn't expecting the rice to taste so bland, and even though tightly rolled, it still lacked the density I am accustomed to. I'll be back to try other items. The young men were friendly and efficient.“

“I ordered, to go, very often. Personally, I only order chicken. And I love it. Always fresh and juicy. Beef, on the other hand I tried once, and never will order again. Too dry. Shrimp hibachi doesn't have enough shrimp, even if you double it..

I will be coming back, but only for chicken hibachi....“

“Wonderful addition to Park Potomac. Food and service were excellent! Sushi sesame roll, shrimp tempura, miso soup w were delish and the D Box was plentiful…for two people …even had a tasty salad“

“I came here and got some sushi after bowing at White Oak, and the food was really good! Everything was to-go due to COVID; we got the California Roll, the Spicy Tuna Roll, and the Shrimp Tempura Roll, as well as Miso Soup. All were very delicious and the wait time was very reasonable!“

“Nice food. Huge variety. Great for both meat lovers and vegans“

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

“This is an underrated restaurant, and I'm surprised it's not always packed! The seafood is incredibly fresh, with tender and succulent texture, and both the cooking methods and seasoning are spot on. Every dish is delicious, highly recommended!“

“I’ve been going to Moby Dick since 2006 and never a single disappointment. My boss lived in Japan for five years and wouldn’t dare lower himself to sushi in Wheaton. When he finally went with me - well, best sushi he’d ever had outside of the far east. From the basic to the high end roll, you’ll never be disappointed. I live in Bethesda now and nothing here comes close!“

“Love this place. The entire experience from the shop in the front to the restaurant in the back is amazing. Their bathrooms are themed (Mario brothers and Studio Gibli). Their bathrooms food is great and their pancakes and deserts are just good and comforting. Staff is friendly and helpful and the place is nice and clean. Definitely worth a look.“

“love it here! great asian options in a comfy location!“
