Huge fan of the kusshis in MD so i knew i had to order here during a work conference. there were some issues with the menu on Uber eats and the staff i spoke to on the phone was super helpful and patient. Aside from the delicious menu items, I’m always amazed by kusshis consistency in quality costumer service — their staff are always on point no matter the location.

I am a sushi lover and this place provided fresh and tasty sushi. Each piece of sushi was thick and melt to your mouthfeel. It also had a variety of food to choose from. All of them were delicious. 😋 The restaurant was cozy and comfortable. The waitress was friendly and smile often. I had jelly sake to go with my meal and enjoyed the fruity tasted sake. I highly recommend you check out this place. My friends and I will be back soon!
