Wonton soup
Jennifer J.

Wonton soup is pretty good. Crispy beef is absolutely delicious. Would come back every day to eat this beef while I am here on vacation. Staff is very nice. Prices are decent. Restaurant is clean. Plenty of parking. Will be back!

Sushi and Sashimi Chef special and cherry blossom roll
Crystal C.

Every sushi and sashimi we had are ever fresh. The cherry blossom presentation is very beautiful and taste even better. Salmon fried rice is the best Chinese fried rice I ever had. Service is excellent, from order the dishes to food served only took about 10 minutes. The ambient is lovely and quiet, everything is super clean. I Will definitely come back more often.

Picked up En Bistro on our way home from DC. We tried to order online and the application was soooo anti-user friendly that we ended up needing to call to place the order. I got the combination chow fun, which was shrimp/beef/chicken. My parents shared a bunch of sushi rolls, including the Volcano roll, eel, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, and more. When we arrived home, there was no wasabi and my mom typically likes to mix it in her soy sauce. I liked the noodles but they were really sticky so it was mostly just clumps of noodles. There were enough noodles for 2 helpings, but only enough protein for one. Otherwise, it tasted pretty good. My parents thought the sushi was fine. Nothing remarkable to report, so probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but would order pick up again if in a pinch.

We were coming from hiking and looked like tourists. But we were hungry. We wanted a good meal looking like we just came from the gym. We picked this place because of the reviews. We loved loved loved this little treasure of a business. I'm not sure how they have any bad review. The customer service was awesome. The food was super yummy and they were spot on every meal. I loved it!!!! The owner was super nice to other guests and you could tell this was a very loving place to be. We got the crab fried rice and it was loaded with crab. They had drinks from overseas, that was a treat. They also have a sushi bar which was delicious. We will definitely come back and visit when we are in the area. Kudos to the entire staff! If I could rate this 10 STARS I would.

Interior

Came here after craving some sushi and decided to order the spicy tuna roll. The interior of the restaurant was small, cozy, and very casual. The staff were nice and the location is convenient since it's in Potomac Village. I actually had some trouble finding the door since it's tucked away on the side. The sushi rolls are a bit overpriced ($9 for 6 small pieces) but the flavor of the spicy tuna roll was good and there was a generous portion of tuna in it. It was actually the spiciest spicy tuna roll i've had so beware if that's not your thing. My tastebuds and sinuses were ~tingling~. Even so, it wasn't the best sushi i've had and is quite pricey given that this place is super casual. You would have to order at least 2-3 rolls for a meal because 1 roll is snack size.

Had a take out order. Food was good, it was busy but somehow very cold behavior from the person who brought the food and charred my card. Hoping the behavior gets better.

Appetizer!

Love En Bistro. The sushi is always fresh, delicious and well plated. The new full bar is a welcome addition. The service is always excellent.

The restaurant has a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire meal. We ordered the Black Magic Roll, the Mini Masunosuke Don Bento, and the Mini Unadon Bento, and every dish was exceptional. The Black Magic Roll was the standout of the meal, with incredibly fresh fish, great texture, and a unique combination of flavors that made every bite memorable. The Mini Masunosuke Don Bento featured king salmon topped with ikura over rice, along with karaage, salad, miso soup, and dessert. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented, making it feel like much more than a typical bento box. The Mini Unadon Bento was just as impressive. The grilled unagi was tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed, served over rice with crispy karaage, salad, miso soup, and dessert. It was comforting, satisfying, and executed exceptionally well. What really stood out was the attention to detail. Every plate looked beautiful, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the quality was consistent across every dish we ordered. You can tell the chefs put a lot of care into both presentation and execution. If you're looking for high-quality Japanese cuisine in the Gaithersburg area, Kema by Kenaki is absolutely worth the visit. Between the creative sushi, outstanding seafood, and excellent service, it's an easy 5/5. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We ordered the ribeye Japanese fried rice, Green Monster roll, J-Pop roll, California roll, Crunchy Shrimp roll, Crunchy Spicy Salmon roll, Shrimp Tempura roll, miso soup, and Deep Sea hand roll. Everything came out quickly, fresh, and flavorful - exactly what we've come to expect from this place. The ribeye in the fried rice dish was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly, while the rice itself was seasoned so well that every bite was packed with flavor. My favorite roll was definitely the Green Monster Roll - fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. I also appreciate that the maki rolls here are never skimpy, which makes them very filling and well worth the price. The service was excellent from beginning to end - quick, attentive and consistent throughout our visit. Our waters and hot green tea were always refilled without having to ask, and every request, from extra pickled ginger to additional plates, was handled promptly and politely. Overall, another solid dining experience with no issues at all. I would absolutely recommend this spot for either lunch or dinner if you're craving sushi. One thing to keep in mind is that they do close for a part of the afternoon to prepare for dinner service, so plan accordingly!

The regular maki and temaki (handrolls) are standouts, nothing beats simple, fresh ingredients. The tonkatsu ramen was very tasty, though the meat was a bit fattier than we prefer. This was our first visit, we tried some of the house special maki, didn't hit on anything spectacular, but again I want to emphasize the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Looking forward to trying some of their other offerings, their poke bowls and "sushi burritos" look very promising. Great sushi at a good price. We plan to add Toro to our regular rotation!

The white tuna was tasty but the salmon was fishy (likely not very fresh). The bowl also came with various sides like avocado, edamame, and seaweed. Their wasabi mayo is pretty good and pungent. However, their sushi rice is too mushy. Rice is very important in sushi restaurants and I'm a bit surprised that they didn't get it right. Prob just this batch tho. Thanks to this batch of sushi rice, the maki roll wasn't delightful ... the rice wasn't just mushy, part of it was too sour. How can I trust a sushi place when they can't get their rice right hopefully I just had a batch by chance.

It was definitely a loud atmosphere, but not something I minded. The service was a bit slow, which was understandable given how busy they were, and our server was friendly. Sitting at the sushi bar, I did notice several orders being mixed up or sent back, which may have contributed to the slower service. As for the food I ordered, it was just okay... nothing really stood out or wowed me tbh. I got the soft shell crab and a shrimp tempura taco. They were decent, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the quality. I didn't end up ordering any sushi, so maybe when I'm craving some sushi I'll come back to give that a try.

Since Maki doesn't accept reservations, I called ahead to put our names on the waitlist. Despite doing so, our party of three still waited approximately 20 minutes for a table. The waiting area was small and crowded, with several parties ahead of us. The interior reminded me of a cozy café in Tokyo's Yurakucho district, featuring tree-patterned wallpaper and red lanterns hanging near the entrance. For beverages, my parents shared hot sake while I ordered hot tea, which was Genmaicha. One thing I appreciated about the menu was the ability to customize ramen, with six broth options and 13 toppings. They also offered vegetarian and gluten-free ramen options, along with specialty dishes such as the Bulgogi Steak Ramen Burger and Curry Bulgogi. We shared five dishes, most of which came recommended by friends: Grilled Baby Octopus - Marinated in a sweet soy sauce and served over lettuce and shredded radish. The flavor was enjoyable and reminded me of a similar dish I had at Shabu & Mein in Boston, although the portion here was noticeably smaller. Vegetable Gyoza - These pan-fried dumplings featured spinach wrappers filled with a mixture of mushrooms, carrots, celery, and cabbage. They were served with gyoza sauce and garnished with scallions. Unfortunately, the filling had a mushy texture that I didn't particularly enjoy. Bulgogi Steak Miso Ramen - Served with thin yellow wheat noodles in a mildly flavored miso and dashi broth. The bowl included a boiled egg, narutomaki (Japanese fish cake), seasoned bamboo shoots, dried seaweed, and scallions. The presentation was appealing, although the broth was fairly mild. Shrimp Tempura Roll - Easily one of the highlights of our meal! The roll featured crispy shrimp tempura, avocado, and lettuce wrapped in rice and seaweed, then topped with caviar and a drizzle of sweet sushi sauce. It was one of the tastiest shrimp tempura rolls I'd had at the time. Sashimi Deluxe - An assortment of five types of sliced fish, including red tuna, salmon, white tuna, scallops, and white fish. While I enjoyed the presentation, the red tuna didn't taste particularly fresh. I did appreciate the accompanying salmon eggs and sticky rice topped with rice seasoning. We were too full to try dessert, but the Dango caught our attention and would be something to consider on a future visit. Overall, Maki Cafe was a mixed experience. The menu offered plenty of variety, and the Shrimp Tempura Roll was definitely a standout. However, the small portions, inconsistent textures, and concerns about the freshness of the tuna kept this from being a higher-rated experience. While there were dishes we enjoyed, others left room for improvement. A decent spot for Japanese comfort food with a few memorable dishes, but the overall experience was somewhat inconsistent.

We came back tonight for the AYCE. You order from an app that you connect from your phone. The…read moreordering was easy and each person in the party can order items at the same time. There's a limit on nigiri/sashimi to one piece per order. What that means is that, when you put in your first (and subsequent orders), you can order one tuna, one salmon, etc nigiri/sashimi. That is a lot better than what I originally thought, which was one nigiri/sashimi total for each round. The variety in the AYCE is impressive. Lots of sushi, sashimi, nigiri, salads, soups, variety of appetizers (not all fried stuff!) and hibachi (beef, chicken and shrimp). Tonight, the food arrived pretty quickly after we put in an order. There was an issue toward the end of the evening when the app stopped working at our table and the table next to ours. The Staff did what they could to fix things; it did take about 20 minutes, though. I'm assuming this isn't typical. Staff did say that this does happen from time to time and the customer needs to exit the app and reorder. Except for the 20 minute delay, things worked fine. We placed at least 12 small orders during our meal. The staff was very good about filling water glasses, bringing our food and taking away empty plates. Really - high praise for the staff. The restaurant is very pleasant to sit in. It has Asian motif and nice music playing over the PA. The only issue was with the ordering system, which, as I said, I'm thinking was unusual. Ice cream and soft drinks included.

*****AYCE review*****…read more My family and I really enjoy the hibachi here and decided to try out their AYCE deal - $35.99 for adults and $12.99 for kids 12/under. There's a limit of just under 2 hours, which is plenty of time. Order using the QR code on the table, with multiple people being able order using their phones which is nice. Portions are listed on the menu, which are somewhat on the smaller side (definitely smaller than reels you see on IG!) - understandable, though, as you don't want people to over order (you get charged for it). Favorites included the seaweed salad, yellowtail jalapeno, and kiss of fire and salmon avocado rolls. The chicken hibachi lacked flavor and I think overall the quality of the AYCE was just ok. Quality wise I don't think we got our money's worth either, but definitely paid for the variety we can choose from. Definitely sticking to their hibachi next time we come back. Bonus points, though, for coming during HH to get discounted cocktails/beer.
