We get delivery and pick up (which is much more confusing) from this place ALL of the time and it's our favorite. We love it. The sushi is amazing. And they have great options for non-sushi lovers too (like chicken (Yakitori) and shrimp on a stick). They are great at accommodating all of our ridiculous requests: sauce on the side? No problem. Brown rice instead? No problem. One day we will actually have to try eating here! Thanks for being our go-to spot. read more

Chiyo Sushi is a cozy restaurant. You can choose to take your food to-go or sit upstairs to dine in. We chose to dine in. The waitress was friendly and checked in often. We ordered the salmon teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, and shrimp gyoza. The portions were a good size and the teriyaki entrees came with soup and salad. The entrees itself were okay--a little mid. I wish we ordered some sushi because I saw another table's sushi and it looked amazing. read more

Although my wife had regularly patroned Chiyo, this was my first experience. It definitely won't be my last! We had the Baltimore, Tsunami, and Volcano rolls. In addition to having genuine crab content, the flavors and textures were on point. The star of the show was the toro. Perfectly cut plump fatty tuna belly. Delicious!! Those with mobility problems should consider dining in the small bar area or outside. The main dining room is only accessible by a tight stairwell, which slightly slants towards the edge of each step. read more

Rolls were good, Tigers Eye was an unusual dish and took forever to cook. Weird vibe when you first enter. Getting seating was odd and threw us off. Quite an interesting experience. read more

Sigh. We haven't been here in many years like 10+. I always remembered it as being one of the top sushi places around. We wanted to try a different sushi place than our regulars. We came on a Saturday night and we were seated immediately. We got edamame to start along with seaweed salad. My husband got the combination beef Teriyaki and I got a couple sushi rolls. We also both got some miso soup. The edamame was plain salted and many other sushi spots now offer spiced up edamame which I now prefer so that was a tad disappointing. The seaweed salad was nice. The beef teriyaki was not great, a bit tough and not a lot of flavor. My rolls were also basic and on the small side. We eat sushi regularly and even went to Japan this year, so I know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately this was a big disappointment. read more

Chiyo is my go to sushi place. The nigiri is fresh and tastes good. They are the closest in flavor that I've had to the sushi I had in Tokyo. When my nephew wanted to try sushi for the first time, we ordered from here! read more

So I did something a little different this time. I ordered their sushi/sashimi combo and I honestly wasn't sure what "chef choice" pieces they would give me. I was quite surprised at the octopus. I normally like octopus salad and the octopus wasn't bad, personally I wouldn't get it again in this form. read more

Truly, I'd give it a 3.5 star rating if I could. I came here on a Tuesday night with a friend who is a huge fan of Chiyo. We were seated upstairs and service was relatively friendly. The menu is absolutely gigantic and overwhelming. The specialty rolls have an incredible amount of variety and if you have no dietary restrictions, you'll be in heaven. I stuck to the more basic maki rolls since I'm gluten free. We ordered... - salmon nigiri - tuna nigiri - eel nigiri (for my date) - yellowtail roll - Nataly roll (vegetable roll) - Yu-ki maki roll (to share) - Lesley roll (for my date) Overall, it was okay. I wouldn't order nigiri here again though. It did not taste fresh and the texture was chewy. The tuna was just... not good. My favorites were the yellowtail roll and the Nataly roll. The flavor was good and the texture was nice and crunchy. They also have tamari sauce in case you can't have soy sauce. That said, we ordered the Yu-ki maki roll to share since it appeared to be gluten free (yellowtail and avocado inside; salmon, scallion and wasabi mayo outside). The server then came back up about 15 minutes later to say the roll wasn't gluten free since it had mayo. I was super confused because mayo is naturally gluten free. She then said it was cause of the wasabi. Again, super confused because wasabi is also naturally gluten free. I asked if they could just put the sauce on the side just in case, but the chef had already made the roll. This was a little disappointing since I did mention needing gluten free accomodations before we even ordered. There also seems to be a lack of understanding of which of their ingredients are truly gluten free. It would be great to see their extensive menu marked with some indications of what is gluten free too. The roll came up to the table and was absolutely drowning in the mayo sauce. Allergies aside, I just didn't even like the roll. It would've been better without the mayo, in my opinion. Even my date, who is a Chiyo stan, said this was a disappointing visit for him. I probably won't be rushing back. read more

Chiyo Sushi - this is me after eating at this restaurant. Its sooo good i was sooo full and was sooooo happy after eating this much food. I ate like 67 - Japanese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I think I found my new favorite sushi spot because I've been there twice in one week and loved it both times! They have soooooo many sushi options for all and are reasonably priced. We did dine in both times and service was a little slow the first time but was much better the second time. Def check them out if you want good local sushi! read more

The people who work here are so nice, it is hard to give a poor review of the food. At the same time, diners deserve to know. Perhaps the kindest way to say it is that the food is not to everyone's taste. We tried a range of dishes - sushi-sashimi combo, vegetable tempura, roast duck roll, and grilled octopus salad, and none hit the mark. We left all but the vegetable tempura virtually untouched. The tempura was nicely fried and I liked the assortment of vegetables, but since the dipping sauce was not great it was hard to get the full enjoyment of the dish. This was one of those nights when we left with an unsatisfied feeling. I want to thank previous reviewers for noting the unusual set up, with the downstairs mostly being used as a workspace for preparing take out and the actual dining area being upstairs. Since I knew this in advance I understood what was going on and it was fine. Nobody was rude and that is not a reason not to come. read more

The food is always fresh and innovative The staff treats you like family from the moment you walk through the door. There are two floors and a sushi bar area that you can sit and eat at. The restaurant is cozy and the have nice music playing and beautiful art on the walls. They share a parking lot with some other shops. read more

I just added sushi to my personal menu options (I know, I know) I can't believe it either. It's been a slow progression though. I have gotten takeout a few times, and it's fantastic. Now, just because I started enjoying sushi... I haven't dove right in. My fave is a fried sweet potato roll. They are fantastic here, for sure!! I call ahead and orders have been ready when I arrive. Service is super quick. There's no seating on the main level. Parking is easy on the street and you can run in and out. Give it a try!! read more

I cannot understand the four and five star reviews for this place. I remember Chiyo being pretty good back in the day when they were mostly dine-in, but that was 5-6 years ago, and today it's mostly carry-out. For Baltimore sushi I would rate it a "C+" at best, and anywhere else, like NYC or WDC, this place is a "D" Also, the chicken teriyaki was a total joke on a plate. We threw it out along with the yellowtail and the seaweed salad which seemed like it had been sitting around awhile. We will not be returning. read more

So..... what's up with those chairs? Let me tell you. My girlfriend wanted to check this place out. I recalled reading reviews on Yelp and was..... hesitant. But, I love some good sushi. And you can't find it until you find it. The place is very unassuming in a cute area with a few other restaurants I'd like to try in the future. It's like somebody's house was converted into a sushi joint. There's just enough parking. I don't know where you'd park if the parking lot is full. Just don't park in the street (is what I was told). About those chairs. When we entered the front door I could immediately see the sushi chefs behind the bar making rolls. BUT.... you also see what appears to be an assembly line for 'to-go' orders being prepared. They have a table set up in the middle of the room with to-go bowls, bags, etc. And you're blocked from entering the room by 4 chairs lined side by side. Huh? What's going on here I thought to myself. They said the dining room is open. We told them we had a reservation and were told to 'come on'. Just move the chair out of the way. Huh? We were led to the upstairs dining room by one of the employees (I assumed she was an employee, who else would be leading us to our table). Everyone was wearing plain ole street clothes. It was like I came to somebody's house and they were serving me. Weird. We had the place to ourselves and were told Sundays were pretty empty. Now, let's talk about that menu! ...talk about information overload; whoa! They literally have hundreds of rolls. I kid you not! I just had to find something and go with it because I got tired of looking. Variety is good yes, but too much is just..... too much. I got edamame, the double ell roll, sunrise roll, and Maryland roll. I liked the sunrise roll, but REALLY liked the Maryland roll! The crab was fresh! Aside from that.... what I'll say its, been there done that. I can check it off my list. I may order in for those few rolls, but I'll stick to my other spots. read more

Rotten fish again. Quality has gone way downhill. Chiyo had been our go-to sushi spot for years, and I was happy to see that their take out business boomed during the COVID pandemic. We typically order sushi about once a week, or every other week. But the past 3 times we have gotten sushi from there we have consistently gotten at least one type of raw fish that smelled bad. After the last two occasions (about 6 months ago) we stopped ordering from Chiyo basically altogether and have used Yama instead. But tonight Yama was closed so we tried to give Chiyo one more shot. Several of the raw fish sushi/sashimi items had legitimately bad fish. In particular the salmon was slightly brown tinged in color, horrible smelling, and inedible. The yellowtail smelled like trash and made my stomach turn. I thought the tuna smelled a little suspect to me but my wife thought it was okay. Avocado/cucumber/tempura shrimp/salad were all good. I called the restaurant to let them know they needed to check to see if there is a bad batch of fish so they don't serve it to others, and instead they said it was fine and offered me a credit for a future order. In summary I'll probably order vegetarian and perhaps cooked things from them at some point in the future but something is either seriously wrong with their product or storage. And since they dseem to be able to distinguish rotten fish, I won't be getting any raw fish from them anymore. Buyer beware. read more

Appetizers are special. Dinner combo includes sashimi and beef teriyaki. It has a good price. The second floor for dine in is cozy. But servers don't always stay at the second floor. Sometimes it is difficult to get the service you want in time read more

We waited from 5:50 to 7:15 for our dinner to be served. Unacceptable wait! The restaurants is so focused on pick-up orders that those in the restaurant become an afterthought. The sushi & sashimi were just ok. Not great. Chef does not allow substitution. Therefore, as I don't eat mackerel and left the 6 pieces I was serve with my sashimi deluxe. There must be a better Japanese restaurant in Baltimore. read more

Attempted to call in an order , the person who answered had the poorest customer service ever , I called back and canceled the order .

Awesome service, great food, fantastic customer service. We dined in and the place was pretty much empty and quiet. We sat upstairs and received food and service promptly. Fried ice cream... wow incredible. It's ice cream wrapped in pound cake then fried. We got a variety of sushi. Sweet potato roll.. also wow. SO GOOD. Wasn't super impressed with teriyaki chicken though. Would totally come back!! read more

Great people, great sushi! My fiancé's family comes here frequently for family dinners (birthdays, celebrations, etc). They are always able to accommodate larger parties with no issues! I've seen a few review mentioning that there is only small dining room-- there are plenty more tables upstairs! Their rolls are always fresh and they don't skimp. We normally order a sashimi boat and a variety of rolls for the table to share. No-one ever leaves hungry! I recently just tried their tempura banana dessert also... OMG. It was so good and definitely shareable (Although I tried to finish it by myself... didn't happen). Ask for Jordan as your server, she's great!! read more

In my opinion this is hands down the best sushi restaurant in Baltimore. I've only ever ordered over the phone/Uber eats and done pick up, but every time I enter the establishment, I'm greeted by staff who are extremely warm and friendly. My go to order is two tempura rolls, an order of spring rolls, and the mochi ice cream for dessert. The flavors are perfect, and the prices are very affordable compared to other sushi spots in the area. I've never eaten at the actual shop, but it's a perfect spot for carry out! read more

This place is one of the best sushi places I ever been in. It's located near the train station. Parking maybe crazy, but it's worth to try. It's small cozy place. The menu is very detailed which tell you what's inside and outside the sushi. I tried the champion roll, it's great. They give warm towels when you are in and when you re done. It's great! I was surprised about the customer service and the quality of sushi. I will be back and try more food there --- This place is always the best sushi place around Baltimore. I have been back multiple times and tried different rolls every time I'm there. It's great as always. Would recommend to anyone who loves sushi and want to try sushi! read more

Good options for vegans who want sushi. Green Dragon and the Red Pepper rolls were especially yummy. Well-priced, lovely staff.

I was not expecting how big the Mix Ebi Tempura is. Japanese beer is a must! I should have tried their plum wine but will do that next time. Home like Ambience. The Waitress was superb and serving was fast. It really is hard to find a real Japanese Restaurant here in my area but if you see Japanese folks eating in groups (as i can understand what my next table is) then you know this place is a must try! Fully recommended! read more

Odd, unlikely sushi spot that delivers on quality with generous proportions. While they have a massive menu of sushi rolls, their a la carte, sashimi, and cooked dishes are exceptional. I had their agedashi tofu, sashimi combo, and uni. All great, with the tofu standing out as a super flavorful and hearty dish whereas my general expectation for the dish is light and subtle. The sashimi combo had good variety, quality cuts, and good portions. Service was attentive, helpful, and friendly. read more

The food is delicious! I always get the tempura, and it is always delicious. The service is great, and the restaurant is beautiful.

Im honestly perplexed. We stopped by since the reviews are good and the pictures look good. The whole experience was truly unpleasant. The place is dirty and the floors are worn and dusty - there is a distinct unclean feeling that should have warned me off, especially since its a sushi restaurant. But I ignored my better judgement and ordered. Also waitress seemed irritated? Held out her hand for the menus in a frustrated manner when we finished ordering. My daughter said hi to her and she ignored her. Very strange and unwelcoming - i felt like we were annoying her / in trouble. Then, the fish came - oof. The salmon nigiri was dry? And both mine and my husband's tasted really fishy, the krabbe roll was also fishy and on top of all of this the sushi rice was completely wrong texturally and unseasoned. Start to finish this was bizarre and unpleasant :( Back to yama I guess. read more

If you're a vegetarian sushi fan, Chiyo Sushi is a must! This Mt. Washington hideaway has been on my to-try list for some time, and I was thrilled to finally be able to check it out. Currently operating as takeout only, I had to wait nearly an hour for my order to be ready (albeit peak Saturday night hours), but the wait was well worth it. I was quite impressed by the sheer number of vegetarian specialty rolls to pick from, and selected 4 different rolls to try--Fresh Roll, Four Seasons Roll, Ivy Roll and Sweet Potato Roll. All but the Fresh Roll (8 pieces) were 6 piece orders. Everything was beautifully rolled and packed with undeniably fresh ingredients. The Fresh Roll was my least favorite--the cucumber and squash combo with the mango just didn't quite pack the punch I was expecting. The Sweet Potato Roll stuffed with tempura sweet potato morsels, nailed a vegetarian roll classic. The Ivy Roll was truly unique, with crisp sweetness from the apple, rich creamy notes from the avocado, and a hearty crunch from the fried bean curd. The Four Season Roll was a delicious balance of more tangy pickled veggies and julienned carrot. All and all, an excellent first dining experience and look forward to trying more of the menu! read more

While it saddens me to have to write this post, I think it's imperative that I share my experience so that people are informed of the recent staffing shifts and the lack of professionalism that ensued. Yesterday, I excitedly brought my daughter to Chiyo Sushi after a long day at the mechanics. I have paid using Apple Pay before but this current staff said that they could not accept Apple Pay. No worries...I drove 12 minutes home to get my wallet and returned so that we could order our food. I asked for me usual, 2 California Rolls with crunch, spicy mayo and eel sauce on the side for 1 (my daughter doesn't eat any of that). When I received my meal, there was crunch on both. I asked if they could make it plain. One of the newer workers asked the man to do it over and I went back to my car to wait. When I came back inside, the shift supervisor came out and told me that "they are closed". I asked about my California Rolls and she said "We aren't making it, because that is not what you ordered". I said "I definitely ordered for everything to be on the side for one order" and she proceeded to cut me off, yell and tell me that I needed to leave the premises. After I saw her hostility and where this was going over a $6 - $8 roll of Sushi, after I have been a loyal customer, I decided to end the conversation right there and leave the establishment. I am very disappointed in the customer service I received. I have never experienced this kind of rudeness and disrespect from the staff there before, however, based on the tone and hostile nature of the employee, my daughter and I will not be patronizing Chiyo Sushi anymore. I hope this helps someone and I hope the management team works to creating a more positive guest environment with staff sensitivity training. read more

The advocado rolls were delicious sweet perfect ripened. Rice was sticky good but more then an hour sinced cooked. The seaweed was ok but Eloise and I are seaweed connoisseurs. The lovely young red headed server was so sweet. She made it such a lovely lunch. Kudos to the chef. I had salmon teriyaki. Great sauce. I hate sugary sweet or toxic ginger garlic loads. Perfectly cooked. Not dry perfectly fatty. Just enough artistic sesame seeds. I despise fatty fatty cuts of salmon- hiss hiss H-mart. My son Maximillian will love this place when he visits from sf. I can't wait to try the udon and fish tempura. read more

I'm hooked!! I came to this place 2 times within 3 days!!!!! Then more....... The champion roll and the carrol roll were AMAZING! Too afraid to order anything else hahaha The last time i was there I had the aged tofu for appetizer.....wow! A huge portion so it's definitely good for 2-3 persons! I love it so much that I'm drooling thinking about it. There's a small parking next to it but I and my friends found it easier to park on the street because it can be hard to move the car out the parking lot sometimes. Staff was very tentative and friendly. read more

Woah. Baltimore actually has a decent sushi place?! I have to say, this is one of the top sushi joints in this area. Had the combination with a variety of raw sashimi with the beef teriyaki. Came with a side salad and soup for a little over $20ish. Portions are pretty gigantic. Appreciated the variety of sides and left with a food coma. Aside from the overly drenched beef teriyaki, the raw sashimi sushi was darn FRESH. Totally surprised me! Aaah..def have a new spot for the sushi craving. This is the place you should go for some darn good, fresh sushi. If only they can fix their parking situation. read more

Chiyo Sushi - Yeah, it's as fresh as it looks! - Japanese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

When I have to put the salmon sushi out of my mouth the moment it goes in, we've got a problem. When I sit down to sushi ordered at a restaurant, it should never, ever make me gag. Chiyo isn't some dollar sushi happy hour joint. The cut of fish was weird, rubbery, smelly, unchewable and just plain old. If the chefs behind the counter (one who was lost in texting when I came in) are not paying steely-eyed attention to the quality of their RAW fish, the customers are playing a game of Russian roulette. The miserable mediocrity of my other dishes and fish would not lead me to write this negative review, but they were nothing to seek out either. My restaurant litmus test isn't, "I guess I could eat it." I will never, ever go back. read more
