“Me and my daughter had a beautiful shared experience here and this is now one of my favorite if not my favorite!!!! And the waitress is an amazing artist!!!!“

“10s across the board. I wish I had photos to show. I always eat my food before thinking of photos. I have ordered several dishes by door dash or walk in and you're always greeted, the atmosphere is clean and vibrant. The food is AMAZING ! SOOOOO fresh ! I usually get miso soup or Yum Yum soup. I've tried 3 sparking freshers thus far. AMAZING ! THE BEST dish I've had thus far was the teriyaki beef bowl. I couldn't get enough !! I have to have something from here at least once to twice a week. Especially the soups since it's cold out. You WON'T be disappointed 😁“

“Great place for sushi. we loved it“

“Delicious 😋 Place! The fish is always fresh & service is great!“

“Clean, delicious food and great service with reasonable prices.“

“Great food and awesome staff.“

“Our daughter loves sushi and this is her absolute favorite sushi restaurant. We’ve been here a number of times and the staff is always amazing, as is the food. Today was my daughter’s 5th birthday and when we asked her where she wanted to go for dinner, she told us Mizu Sushi. I’m pretty sure she’d make us take her there every day for their Philly roll and miso soup if she could. Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. Just wonderful. (Also, my favorite is their Maryland roll. It’s soooooo good!)“

“This place was absolutely amazing!! The staff was so sweet and understanding, and they gave a lot of complimentary side dishes along with the main meal. The sushi that we ordered was very filling, and will definitely be coming here again 🤩“

“Been here twice and the food was fantastic each time!“

“Quickway is awesome! They are super fast cooking the food and it’s always delicious. My biggest gripe would be that they charge extra for the Yum Yum sauce which seems like it should be illegal… I would probably just offer it complimentary!“

“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!!!“

“Very very amazing sushi. The sushi roll had a perfect combination of flavors. The seafood was fresh, the avocado was creamy, and the a crunch of the roll was perfect. The sauce brought everything together with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. Each bite was well-balanced and packed with flavor. I would definitely go back for more & I appreciate the great customer service as well.“

“The food is good! The owner is nice. Been going here for close to 15 years? I went in my college days til now.
The hours posted on google are not accurate. They aren’t open on Tuesdays and on Saturdays they’re not open at 10am. Please fix this!“

“My boyfriend and I love this place. It is our go-to for sushi!! They have the best shrimp tempura 😍

The only thing really is that the place isn’t that vibey.
The employees have a hard time understanding English, but that’s okay, they are still very nice and accommodating.“

“We had a great experience our first time at Azumi. Our waiter was knowledgeable and helpful, making suggestions from both the extensive (overwhelming!) Sake menu and the dining menu. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Emptys were quietly removed from the table without interrupting our conversation or meal. The food itself was excellent. Some items were pricier than we'd prefer ($28 for two slices of toro, speciality sushi rolls in the $30 range), but for a special occasion we didn't hesitate. Lovely waterfont location, and views of the harbor even from the dining room. We already plan to go back.“

“Great service, fresh sushi & sashimi!“

“I ordered too much 😂. Everything was delicious. While dining in they also give you complimentary soup and an appetizer roll. Service was prompt and friendly. My fountain Coke was perfect and everything these other restaurants soda machines are not. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. I plan on returning to try even more items on their extensive menu.“

“Great food Fellowship Great Bartender Great Atmosphere“

“I ordered my meal through a delivery service. This was my first order from Quickway and I was very satisfied.The food was good and plentiful for a surprisingly good price. I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Combo with rice & noodles and it was only about $12 and overflowing the container. A Spicy Crab and Shrimp Roll and the Shrimp Tempura were all a good size.The shrimp were good but soggy, probably due to the delivery time, I suspect they would be much better as an eat-in item. The roll was very good as well, but strangely warm. Maybe from sharing a bag with the hot foods.The star was the Chicken and Shrimp Combo with sides of rice and noodles. Deliciously prepared with a tasty sauce. The rice needed a little soy to give more flavor. The noodles were great. A huge meal that would have satisfied on it's own. (I ordered extra stuff because I was unfamiliar with the portions)“

“The staff is so nice here. It has become my favorite takeout place for sushi. I also love coming early with my kids because you can watch the sushi chef make sushi. And there’s a little fish tank. It’s a cool place. And they’re really nice. It’s also a great place to come after a kids’ sports event or for a quick bite to eat. It’s small but cute. And the tables don’t feel too tight.“

“This place was pretty good, pretty big menu and lots of selections for sushi. My friend and I shared two orders of tempura rolls while I got shrimp and beef with fried rice and my friend got noodles. Everything was really good, came out pretty quick and good service. Very large portions for affordable price.“

“Well yesterday I was craving Asian food. Since my go to spot (American Asian) has changed hands and the food has really declined I've been looking for a replacement. Well I think I may have found it. I got a bento box from quickway. For those of you that dont know what a bento is it is sorta like a sampler. It had spring rolls sushi steamed cabbage lo mein and dumplings. The food was good. The best part is all that food was $12. Way to go Quickway“

“Absolutely fantastic food that is a step above most Thai restaurants.“

“We had an amazing dinner experience at this teppanyaki restaurant in Japan. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The chef was very skilled, friendly, and entertaining throughout the meal. Every dish was cooked perfectly, especially the steak, seafood, and fried rice.
The atmosphere was warm, clean, and welcoming, and the staff provided excellent service from beginning to end. We truly enjoyed the authentic Japanese teppanyaki experience and felt very satisfied with both the food and hospitality.
Highly recommended for anyone come here and looking for a memorable dining experience. We will definitely come back again!“

“I LOVE Quickway everytime we go our food is made fresh and the staff always is kind, we love getting chicken with vegetables and half rice half noodles an when its finally prepared they top it with a brown sauce kinda like teriyaki its sooo good and you have to get a extra yumyum sauce an a side of sushi dragon roll is delish ,delicious is the first word that comes to my mind, My son Arlan Clark Jr. enterduced me and my husband to the location on Nursery rd. My son passed away on October 15th 2022 and he loved going here,we even let him pick where he wanted to go for dinner on his birthday on March 5th 2021 he loved the food soo much he choose Quickway.. An when I go to eat there it reminds me of him,weve made memories there ,so it's a favorite place to go for us. Enjoy Bon apatite an God Bless . SINCERELY M.POE“

“outstanding food and service 🙂“

“We have been going to Yuki Sushi since they first opened. The food is wonderful. We like to try new things. Tonight the Owings Mills Roll was wonderful as was the Spicy Seafood Ramen. Great Restaurant, it will become one of your favorite places for dinner.“

“The best food you will find in the area! We live in Pennsylvania and drive the 50 minutes to have dinner here. The owners are so friendly, food is always fresh, and the restaurant is always clean. From the bathrooms being immaculate, to the tables, to the plates. We have never had an issue here. If you haven’t tried this place you are missing out.“

“I was in the area, google searched restaurant. Edo Sushi had very high ratings and positive reviews. Edo did not disappoint and was a happy find.

Fish and rice were fresh and beautifully prepared. Delicious lunch special, included your choice of miso soup or seaweed salad.

I will return with family and friends.“

“Best sushi I've ever had. Great prices.“

“If you ever find yourself at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), do yourself a favor and stop by Gachi Sushi across from Gate A9. I ordered the Triple Delight Roll, and it was incredible. It was beautifully presented, fresh, and packed with flavor. The avocado and spicy drizzle were perfectly balanced, and the textures were spot on. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, even in the middle of the busy terminal. Special shoutout to Budi, the general manager who’s been there for 14 years! His pride in the food and service truly shows. I’ll definitely be back. Whether you’re craving sushi before a flight or just looking for a great airport dining experience, Gachi Sushi is a must-try. Highly recommended! 🍣✈️“

“Had the salmon and fish roe nigiri as apps. It was fresh and succulent, delicious indeed. Their chewy noodle special with pork belly was spectacular, would highly recommend. Small ish inside but have outside seating when weather allows. Quaint and pleasant experience.“

“The best Poke Bowls in Hunt Valley!!! Hard working staff are always there and happy to help! Grateful for this gem :)“

“if you have any time on your hands and you down that area I highly recommend it it's a good affordable place to eat at“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Found this cozy sushi spot while passing through town on a business trip in MD and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. Really glad I did. The layout is simple and efficient, and everything just feels well run.

The manager was super friendly, and the staff all seemed genuinely happy—no grumpy faces at all. That’s always a good sign, and it definitely felt like the food was in good hands.

I also liked that they have a fountain drink machine right in the lobby. The restaurant is in a plaza with plenty of parking, which is a huge plus when you’re traveling for work. Solid experience overall and I’d definitely stop by again if I’m in the area.“

“I have eaten here several times over the last few years. The food is always amazing! Service is wonderful. I have eaten both upstairs and down. Great atmosphere. Takeaway is always just as delicious.“

“Hidden gem in Fells Point / Harbor East — one of the best sushi spots in Baltimore right now.

Everything tasted fresh. The garlic edamame and jalapeño roll were a great start. The Japanese sushi rice was incredible, and both the poke bowl and sushi burrito were packed with flavor.

Friendly staff with great recommendations, and a modern but relaxed atmosphere — perfect date night. Will definitely be back.“

“Our favorite place for Sushi. Had carry out tonight due to CoronaVirus quarantine and it was fantastic as usual. Can't wait until this comment is completely outdated (and things are back to normal again).“

“The service, I respect it. Atmosphere is at peace to a point I can just sleep in here. I love the Zen Guzheng Melodies he is playing and all of the culture he brings strong into his business. I respect this guy. Down to earth. Best takeout food I’ve had , you can tell the guys really care about cooking. Also, the kitchen and the floors are cleaned“

“I ordered delivery for the first time as it was recommended. I'm very pleased with the service. The owner made to order what I was interested in with having restrictions in my diet. The delivery was quick and the food was delicious. I'll definitely order there again.“

“Their services is great.“

“I stopped in. It’s been awhile since I visited Security Square Mall. I decided to get something to eat. I got the teriyaki chicken with fried rice and cabbage. It was worth the price. I will be back. It was $10 and some change plus tax. Next I’ll try the vegetable item on the menu.“

“I’ve been going to this place for years and they are the funniest, nicest people ever. Love their food and energy. People need to go here more often, cooked fresh and up front. If you want something done a certain way or anything they are quick to fix it. Good vibes everyone“
