“Wonderful sushi in the heart of old Ellicott city! Several rooms to dine in. The top back of the restaurant is the best, they play jazz music and there's a beautiful view of the river with the sun setting out the window. The sushi and apps we had were phenomenal and I will definitely be going back! Our server was very personable and I enjoyed her very much!“

“Wonderful restaurant! The owner is so kind and the sushi is amazing! They do salmon belly in the Baltimore Roll, which I've never had before but I will crave it every time I come home to Maryland! Great rolls and great other stuff too!!!“

“We booked a private room for our daughter's birthday. The service was excellent (very pleasant). The sushi and sashimi was so tasty. I enjoyed the red bean mochi. They brought an ice cream platter and sang happy birthday too. Also the clientele was very kind and wished our daughter Happy Birthday on the way out as well. Great experience!“

“Me and my boyfriend ordered from here plenty of times for takeout and always enjoyed their sushi! We started dining in recently and it's just a relaxing place to eat. Love the atmosphere and the kind service. The food just seem to taste better too! Just a lovely experince overall and good food.“

“This place has one heck of an atmosphere! Walls are decorated to make the place look as Japanese as possible. TV was on, playing a Japanese TV network. The restaurant had a visible food preparation area where the sushi chefs enthusiastically did their work. Restaurant did not pinch pennies on the waiters' and chefs' uniforms. The restaurant is on the corner of a row of several adjacent buildings and I liked their use of their window space. Once you open the door, the entrance is well-decorated, too. The podium the host stands behind is oddly situated, but they are making their best use of a small space, so no points taken off. The restroom was clean. I ordered escolar, toro, orata, and chicken katsu. All more than acceptable quality. I did not like the katsu sauce, but I think that's just a personal preference matter. They threw in some extra food- tuna in a circular configuration with some other elements I couldn't figure out- which I guess worked, since I'm here, writing this five-star review! Plates were high-quality, and designed to make the food more presentable.“

“I’ve been coming to this place since 2015, so shame on me for just reviewing it! I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! Even though I’ve been getting the same thing since 2015 and they know it’s me when I order, it’s always great. Their fried rice is amazing. The staff treats you like your family. Did I mention I love this place! I have never and will never try another Sushi Q2! I don’t want to ruin my experience!!“

“Can't comment on the sushi since I didn't order any. Service was okay and prices were reasonable. The only thing I could complain about was the same person that seated us, took our orders and was bartending. The service could have been a little bit better but it wasn't horrible. When I asked if the drinks on their menu were for rail drinks she seemed very confused. I asked her what vodka they carried that was above Smirnoff grade. When I walked over to the bar I found her taking a photo of a bottle of Absolute Vodka. I asked her to show me the vodkas. I wish she would have told me she wasn't an experienced bartender. I wasn't trying to make her job any harder.I will definitely go back.“

“From a takeout perspective, ordered the 20 piece sushi dinner but I think there was a mix up and we got 20 pieces of sashimi instead. Didn't realize until we got home. Sashimi was good but the sushi was a win.When dining, it's a casual small restaurant with a casual ambiance. Appears often busy and well located. The miso and clear soup are fresh and hot. Would recommend the sunset sushi roll. Vegetarian options were less thrilling.“

“We were the only customers when we went on a Tuesday about 7. But the owners were wonderful at helping us with their recommendations on the menu. We settled on a few sushi rolls and bulgogi with Tera beers all around. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The bulgogi was definitely a top cut of beef in a spectacular sauce. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. Please patronize this place.“

“Don't come at me for liking this place. Yes it's expensive. Yes the view of the lake is nice and calming. Yes the servers aren't Japanese even if it's a Japanese restaurant. Yes it's right near Whole Foods which is probably part of why it's expensive. In comparison to the other sushi restaurants in the area, I think this place has enough ambiance things going on to justify the price. Also where else am I going to get eel avocado with that much green on it and thickly sliced eel? Salmon sashimi (ate it too quick) was thick, melt in the mouth, and delicious. Tempura udon was pretty good too. Went here for lunch and will probably be back!“

“Food is absolutely amazing! The staff was extremely nice and efficient. Our friends took us here for happy hour sushi and we came back three days later because we couldn’t get enough. Also the prices are very affordable for high quality sushi. 11/10.“

“Nice little cozy place inside a strip mall. Plenty of parking in front! When we arrived at 7:30 pm on Thursday night, they were full! A man came and told us that we should have a table in about 5 minutes and invited us to sit in their waiting area. True enough, about 5 minutes later we were seated. My kids had the sushi regular plate--7 pieces nigiri and a California roll, plus miso soup. I ordered pairs of nigiri and a veggie roll off the sushi menu. Miso soup was fine; I felt it was a tad saltier than it should be and I also thought the tofu should've been larger pieces of softer tofu, but like I said, it was fine. The nigiri were very good. The fish was excellent--very fresh and not at all "fishy", buttery tender. I felt the rice grains in the nigiri maybe was a little too firm and also was packed a little too tightly, but it was ok. The veggie roll was a little too sweet but ok otherwise. Overall I would say the quality of the fish definitely makes this a go to place for sushi. Also, the environment inside was very warm and friendly. The customers and the employees were all very friendly. A group of women were happily singing happy birthday to themselves, there were numerous tables of joyful families and friends, and at one point an older man started performing on his harmonica. Would definitely come back!“

“Have been coming here since the first week they opened. Love this place! I love their lunch! So quick and so delicious! I’m not a big drinker, but their liquor selection as well as the drink menu looks quite promising. Another major thing is their costumer service! I feel the costumer service is so much better compared to the place across the street. If you are local, you know who I’m talking about!“

“Food was delicious and the service was super good. Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere where you can enjoy a good conversation. Definitely a good place to enjoy some quality sushi with friends and family~! Highly recommend it! Owings Mills roll was really good~“

“The food was really good, and the presentation of the sushi clearly showed the effort put into preparing the dish. The quality of the sushi was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the tuna, which was super fresh and buttery; it was just amazing. Additionally, the price was pretty reasonable; I paid about $40 for what is shown in the photo. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the types of fish, which is important because different areas of the fish taste different.“

“This place is great. Staff is friendly and food is excellent. I did pick up tonight and I don't think it's any different for pick up then it is for in house service. Noodles and rice for little ones if they haven't been introduced to the Asian cuisine. A little bit of a drive for me to p/u but worth it.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible at drop off. Most parking is at the bottom of the hill. Worth it though!“

“Overall great experience, used to get their lunch boxes about once a week. Not much else to say, there are somethings that I don't particularly like from their menu but those are preferential.Kid-friendliness: Small front of house, but should be fine. However I would advise to think twice for particularly rowdy kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible. Single (ground) floor, has tables where the chairs could be moved out of the way.“

“I finally found AMAZING sushi in the Baltimore area! I’ve returned 3 weeks in a row to Naru. Their salmon sashimi is the freshest I’ve had in the States, and their rolls are terrific. Naru Sushi is part of the BeSeTo food court, with 3 Chinese, Korean, and Japanese restaurants and a marketplace downstairs. The ambiance is casual and relaxed. I've only tried the Japanese place, but the food court is always packed, and all the food looks great!“

“I like eating here and any of the other branches of Sushi Q because you always know what you're gonna get if you dine in: miso soup, sushi, and a small cheesecake dessert in a consistently clean/ minimalist space. It's not the fanciest sushi in the area, but sometimes I just want to eat a whole bunch of eel avocado roll and that's what I can get here fresh and affordable. I like to dabble here and there with some of their specialty rolls, but they do my favorite kind so well. Service is scientifically efficient and food can take a little while to prepare, but I'm not usually in a big rush. There's always a line out the door for online/mobile orders. When dining in, there's hardly ever a wait even though it can get crazy busy during dinner. They also have good lunch specials here. We will be back for more.“

“It's been a long time since I've been to Aloha Sushi in Baltimore, since before the pandemic. decided to try them for lunch and the experience was good! apparently the sushi roller, Rajesh, is back, after they changed management. I had the lunch special for the Salmon roll, the tuna role and the Boston roll! it was good and hit the spot. definitely coming back for a date, Mount Vernon is one of my favorite spots.“

“This place is amazing! If you are looking for delicious sushi, friendly, helpful service, this is where you should go. I got a New York Roll, which is filled with fresh salmon, tuna, and white fish, avocado, cucumbers and topped with caviar. I also got an eel roll that has huge pieces of eel in it. Not only does everything taste great, but it's also a great value. I like that they have ready to quick grab sushi in the case or I can custom order. That's why I keep going back!“

“So decided to stop and grab a bite while out shopping on my birthday. It's pretty much a self service restaurant. It has 2 stations to use to order and pay. The only drawback for me was not all items were explained as to what they were. Otherwise, it's definitely a game changer. The space is limited. The ramen was and tempura was very good though. Will definitely be back.“

“Don’t miss out on this gem! I would drive 45 min here for sushi 100%. Visited twice and both times food and service were excellent. Terrific attention to detail and great menu options. Did I mention I got 3 dishes for $26? Don’t go, run!“

“We frequent this place as it’s the closest to our neighborhood. The service is very friendly always. The food is good quality and made with good quality ingredients. The inside of the restaurant is a bit too cold, but that’s my only gripe. If you carry out your food, my only piece of advice is to get it right away. Don’t let it sit too long or it won’t be as tasty :)“

“Pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff. They also serve vegetarian dishes and will veganize (omit egg, mayonnaise, fish) your food upon request.Some months ago, my family visited Sushi Sakura for lunch and ordered Japanese Vegetable Fried Rice, Vegetable Lo Mein, Cucumber Avocado Rolls and more. Everything was tasty!“

“This place is so legit. I used to live in California and the thing I miss most is probably the poke out there. This is actually the same in terms of variety and quality. Kind of wish I hadn’t discovered Poke Bowl because now I’m going to crave it pretty often.“

“We were searching for a late dinner place on a Friday night and saw this new Korean BBQ soft opening and decided to try it. We were so delighted with the food, the service and the kindness they showed us even though it was already late and almost closing time! Our waiter, Chris, was very kind and attentive to our table and continued to offer more Banchans whenever we would eat up any of those delicious side dishes. We ordered the combination which already included beef and pork cuts, so we got to taste both meats. One very unique and new for us in a Korean BBQ place is the green sauce. Whatever it is, it was delicious, a little spicy but very good. Chris also offered to bring us the traditional sesame oil sauce which is a must! He also offered more lettuce every time we would eat up the bunch. I really appreciate that they did not even rush us, even though it was very late. Definitely going to be one of my new favorite places for a family dinner! I do have one suggestion to the management: change the cut of the pork belly into thinner slices. Pork needs to be cook more well done than beef, especially pork belly. The thick slices take too long to cook on the inside. Anyways, we are definitely coming back here!“

“The best thing we had here was the Combination Seafood Jhim. Very good variety of seafood and enormous portion. The leftovers were good for numerous meals afterwards. Great variety of banchan as well. The BBQ was very good and I enjoyed the different sauces they had, but I would say it was about on par with the Korean BBQ around where we live in MoCo. Same with the Japchae, although I will say the meat portion was noticeably better here.The only negative here was the service wasn't perfect. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday evening and the waitresses were working very hard. They mostly took care of us very well but there was an order of water that never came, as well as a refill of banchan that never came. This was not the end of the world as we had the complimentary tea and the other food was more than enough, but this at least will make me reconsider coming back during peak times.Overall, I would recommend this place and the Combination Seafood Jhim was worth the drive from MoCo.“

“The food is always hot and fresh and isn’t greasy like a lot of places are. The owners/staff are always very very friendly. This is my go to place for Chinese food. I drive 30+ mins because it’s that good! Their vegetable egg rolls are my FAVORITE! And the roasted pork fried rice is so good too!“

“Paper Lantern (Marriottsville Rd) is our go-to take out sushi. It never disappoints and it’s not overly priced. We love their spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls!They even make a chicken tempura roll that my son loves- gotta get them to eat sushi one way or another, right?“

“This place is a great find. The food was delicious and the service was good. The curries were actually spicy, tasted unique, and have different ingredients based on the type of curry you ordered. The curry was not watered down or made into a gravy, it was just right. My review only gets 4 stars overall because the chicken satay appetizer and rice portion that came with the curry was small relative to the prices on the menu.“

“The best poke bowl around. Generous portions, fresh toppings and many to choose from. They also have really good soup! I usually have to get both because I cannot choose! The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is always clean.. no matter how busy they get!Vegetarian options: I get the tofu with all the fixings. Many vegetables to choose from for poke and soup.Parking: Located in a shopping center. There is plenty of parking on both sides of the building. No parking at door.Kid-friendliness: Customized to your taste and size. Very friendly staff!“

“This spot's noodles were highly touted and rightfully so. These are among the best noodles I've had in my life.I've been three times and the noodles are consistently the highlight. On one occasion my proteins were dry which is why it's "only" four stars but it's looking like that was an isolated incident.The service was exceptional. The lady at the counter and her little girl were adorable together as they took my order. I don't know if it's a ploy to get a bigger tip out of me but it worked.I'd highly recommend visiting Kokoyami when you're in the Windsor Mill/ Catonsville area.“
