50 Best Sushi Bars near Wheaton

“I've been going here for at least 15 years and it's typically amazing.
The service is great, staff is friendly.
The Itamae is quick and busy and very kind. My friends and I have spent upwards of $210 (3 of us) lol before tip because the sushi is THATTTTTT GREAT. Highly recommend 15 years later“

“Delicious and great vibe. Did the fixed menu, which was the perfect choice. You get a little bit of everything and the flavors are exceptional. If I went again I would probably go a la carte just to try something different. Drinks were also really good! Quiet enough where you can have a great date night. Service was exceptional.“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“Absolutely amazing.
-
I went here after a job acceptance and got the chef's selection special thing (I cannot remember the name unfortunately) but it was absolutely stellar.
I brought some art supplies and relaxed while I ate delicious food like Miso, and well prepared sashimi.
The waitress/hostess seemed to be a bit new, but I completely understand.
The place is a bit small though so I don't reccomend talking politics or anything private as it's very likely someone could accidentally eavesdrop. (Like me, unfortunately hearing about a man's family disasters.)
-
Definitely take your time here if you do eat, savor the flavors and get chef reccomendations, also try the seabream! It's phenomenal and my new favorite fish.“

“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“

“Joko was absolutely amazing! Incredibly talented, funny, and engaging—he made the whole experience unforgettable. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Joko truly made this one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had!“

“Our visit to Zeppelin was absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with the most exceptional hospitality by Ari and the rest of the staff. The atmosphere of the restaurant is truly one-of-a-kind, paying tribute to the Golden Age of the Great Passenger Airships. But the real standout of our experience was the food. It was absolutely divine. We began our meal with the Edamame and Miso Soup, both of which were the perfect starters and set the stage for the rest of the meal. The Seaweed Salad and Cucumber Sunomono were also refreshing and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we decided to indulge in a variety of dishes from the KushiYaki (Japanese Charcoal Grill) menu. The Ebi Shumai and Beef Harumaki were both cooked to perfection, while the Takoyaki was a fun and tasty snack. But the standout dish was the Okonomiyaki, with its tempura, red ginger, okonomiyaki sauce, and mayo creating a truly unique and flavor-packed experience. From the sushi bar, we sampled a variety of rolls including the Negitoro Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Rainbow Roll. Each one was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced in flavor. We also tried the Sashimi Sampler, which was a fantastic way to try a range of different fish. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the Green Tea Ice Cream, which was the perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note. Our experience at Zeppelin was truly extraordinary! The food was delicious and the hospitality we received from Ari and the rest of the staff was top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly unique and memorable dining experience.“

“This was one of the BEST sushi restaurants I’ve ever tried. Everything was flavorful, well thought out and made with care and attention to detail. The kale salad was fresh and the carrot ginger dressing was delicious. I had the miso soup and it was phenomenal. The table was very narrow so it was tricky having to move things around however that didn’t take away from the dining experience. The lemonades were amazing and the rolls were so amazing we couldn’t stop talking about the food after we left. 10/10 and I can’t wait to go back!“

“My family and I came in during lunch yesterday when we were in the area and needed a place to eat. I didn’t know what to expect but I am returning customer now! The service was amazing. The servers were so kind and welcoming. We order sushi and hibachi and I ordered a lychee martini. Everything came out amazing. My mother and I were so impressed we are planning our next visit“

“First time here tonight.
From when we first walked in until we left, everything was excellent.

The food was amazing!
The choices and selections were amazing.

The variety on the menu was excellent!

The service and respect we were given was exceptional.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone whom loves sushi.

I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I loved it and will be going back.

It’s worth the drive!“

“Great friendly welcoming service and the food was delicious- I would HIGHLY recommend 🤩“

“❤️ Oku. hits everytime. every 🍾 celebration we (my fam) head straightforward there.“

“Best sushi in town. Don't waste your money anywhere else. Quality and price come together.“

“We have enjoyed several lunches here and have always felt satisfied. The quality is top-tier and great service.“

“Love this place immensely. Service was top notch and food is SO GOOD. I got the spicy salmon roll and the Ninja Turtle specialty roll and neither disappointed. Probably the best spicy salmon roll i’ve had, ever. Period hands down, no competition. Ambiance is great-standard sushi bar spot.
Will 1000% be back! I’m currently typing this as I finish my food. It’s that good—I couldn’t wait!“

“The food was delicious, the owner and staff were very kind especially with our 13 month old who about 45 minutes in was getting very stubborn and wanted to walk around.

I would highly recommend the laksa, which was my favorite dish out of the 5 we ordered. The lamb satay came second. Ask for some extra sambal, it wasn’t too sweet but the perfect amount of spice!!“

“It's good. Go there...“

“I love this place!! The sushi is the most affordable you’ll get in the area, and the woman who works there is super warm and friendly and always makes me feel welcome. The sushi is also really yummy, if you’re looking for good fresh sushi in Georgetown come here!“

“#DCGourmet

Well, DCGourmet now endorses a third sushi joint in the DC area, vs previously only two. A friend invited me here, and I am so glad we went! Lovely, calm and clean atmosphere plus super fresh and artistic, symphonically harmonious sushi. I even loved the miso soup, which is an item I usually skip, but took a chance this time. It was hot, flavorful, DELICIOUS, and unlike any miso I’d ever had before.

DC area sushi usually disappoints. I assure you this place pleases to the nines. It has 4.8 stars for good reason. Come see for yourself!“

“The cook was great gesture playing with knives and preparing food“

“Booked here because of the Michelin star rating but will go back for the service. After a bit of bumpy start, the Manager was quite accommodating and what an excellence recovery. Enjoyed the premium omakase, sake and whiskey. Never felt rushed even though the restaurant filled quickly. We were visiting from Texas but will make this a regular stop next time in town.“

“Incredible fresh, tasty, huge poke bowl with awesome flavor blends!!! I highly recommend this place!! They’re awesome!! Treat yourself & check them out!!“

“I grabbed a quick but tasty lunch here of their salmon teriyaki bento box. Although the vast majority of their business is take-out, they do have six tables arranged for sit down dining. So I was not surprised when the Miso soup arrived in a plastic take-out bowl with a lid with a plastic spoon. Large cubes of tofu and attention to flavor made it tasty. The California roll was served on its own heavy duty paper plate, with at least a tablespoon of pickled ginger and a teaspoon of wasabi. The teriyaki salmon, two large pieces, was served in an open to-go box, along with a sizeable portion of edamame and a house salad with a lovely ginger sauce. The salmon was perfectly cooked with enough teriyaki sauce to ensure some with every bite of salmon without the fish swimming in the sauce. Clearly a place worthy of a return visit or at least to phone ahead for take-out.“

“It’s tough to find a vegan restaurant that really elevates vegetables instead of just giving you reheated Gardein items but Planta does it. The ambience is very sleek and modern (great for a date night) the bar is well-stocked and there are a ton of different vegetable-centered food options that are done really well. My wife also has a gluten allergy and they went through the menu with her to discuss what options were safest for her. We’ll be back for sure.“

“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!“

“We went for the summer restaurant week. You get a cold and a hot appetizer, assortment of sushi and a dessert. We opted for the soft shell crab and shabu shabu ramen, both were delicious and served hot out of the kitchen. Sushi is top quality and decadent of course. Hojicha pudding is uniquely toasty and silky.

Not all RW deals are worth going, but I’d recommend the selection at sushi taro for the quality and the value of the food.“

“Nagoya Shushi is one of the best sushi restaurants we have found in the DC area. The fish they work with are always top quality and the Nagoya sushi chefs turn them into jewels for both the eye and the palate. In an area that has many fine sushi restaurants, Nagoya Sushi is clearly one of the best.“

“Beatiful place! Sushi is tasty and fresh.“

“EXCELLENCE“

“If you want to impress and delight your guests, or just have an amazing meal at home with your family, this is the place. Beautiful, delicious sushi platters lovingly created by a perfectionist. Take-out only. We’ve relied on Kanpai Sushi for special occasions for many years. You won’t be disappointed.“

“This is literally the best Japanese restaurant. They have the best shrimp shuma. The service and atmosphere is awesome too! Little pricey but totally worth every penny. Awesome place in DC if you're looking for some authentic Japanese food! 💖“

“The best sushi (to go) I’ve ever eaten...and I’ve eaten a lot of sushi 😅“

“Came here after a long day at work to grab a drink and it was worth it. The staff were kind and attentive from the hostess Zoe to the bartender Emily. I tried her own concoction of the shiso mojito and it was amazing! She really knows what she is doing, will be back here more often after work! 10/10“

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

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

“(This review is for a delivery order, so it's only about the food, not the service or ambiance).

Solid takeout sushi. I was desperately craving sushi on evening and, after perusing Uber Eats for a bit, settled on Toku after receiving a recommendation from a friend. I got their sushi combo, which came with ten assorted pieces of nigiri and a California roll, as well as my choice of miso soup or salad. The sushi was super fresh, and I appreciated the variety of fish chosen for the nigiri; I didn't care much for the California roll and would have loved the option to switch it out with a different roll, but it's perfectly reasonable for them to not allow those types of swaps. It was a solid meal and absolutely satisfied by sushi craving.“

“We were pleased to find this restaurant: It is a bit out of our way, and due to road construction, we had to do some doubling back. I recall that the sashimi was fresh and the portions generous, but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor, perhaps because it was not served with a side of rice. I would return and try it again. Pictured are the sushi chefs, a wall inside, a sushi clock, and the outside of the restaurant.

Parking: There were several parking places in front and we had no trouble finding a spot.“

“You can’t go wrong at Raku, their food is fantastic, well cooked and fresh!“

“Sushi is always fresh and tasty. Don’t skip the non-fish items, which are also delicious. I haven’t gone into DC for sushi since I discovered Ikko a few years ago.“

“Doki Doki Sushi at The Heights Foodhall in Bethesda delivers an outstanding sushi experience with its diverse menu of fresh, high-quality dishes. Co-founded by James Beard-nominated chef Kevin Tien, the restaurant is known for its meticulously crafted maki rolls, crudo, and sashimi. The casual yet refined setting, combined with attentive service and convenient QR code ordering, makes it a top choice for sushi lovers.“

“Outstanding performers and great food!“

“I'm revisiting my review because I'm beyond impressed with the service and can't stop myself from coming to enjoy the food! The Salmon teriyaki bowl is fantastic. I pay for extra salmon and can't get enough. Worth it every time. They also sell Pocky of every variety if you have a sweet tooth 🤤.“

“This really cute little Japanese shop was a great experience. On the simple side, but sushi was delicious and my friends enjoyed their food as well (one got chicken soup, and one got chicken teriyaki noodles). The workers were also very welcoming and nice, especially when they learned it was our first time coming to eat there. Reasonable priced, will be back again :)“

“Closer to a 4.5. Food was high quality and very fresh. Atmosphere was really fun; the conveyor belt and robot were a great novely.

My partner really enjoyed the fried chicken bites. I loved the eel. The vegetable tempura was way overpriced for the amount you get and their brand of "spicy" seemed to be Sriracha mayo.

The waitstaff were phenomenal and really a big part of selling the place.“

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

“There are no words to describe this place. You will never find better food for $12 in your life I promise you that. I was skeptical at first seeing as they are inside a gas station but hands down 10/10!“

“Baffled that anyone could write a bad review about this place! The entire staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are totally reasonable. I placed a carry out order 3 days ago, and I just placed another order today. I absolutely love the crunchy spicy tuna and crunchy california roll. I've also ordered the shrimp shu mai and pork dumplings, all fantastic. I live across the street and will absolutely be coming back regularly.“

“Intimate but not cramped or loud, lovely decor. Best food I had all day, after 8 hours bouncing around Dupont. The eel bowl is great-- hot, filling, & tasty, and if you like sweet drinks DEFINITELY try the plum wine!! New favorite wine!!!

Green tea mochi ice cream is a restrained bitter-sweet that's complimented by the almost candy-sweet wine. Great meal, great price, I only wish I was in DC more so I could eat here all the time!!“

“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“

“Easily one of the best bars in the city, hands down“
