8 Piece Crab Roll
Marisela K.

First time trying this place and it was pretty okay, nothing special nothing exciting. I ordered the crab roll and I think what was missing was some sauce. Maybe yum yum sauce could've made it A LOT better. But other than that it was okay.

Ok, if you are hardcore foodie, this may not be the place for you. But considering we're talking about Clinton, MD here, I think Japan Express hits the spot! There isn't even an OPTION for sushi/japanese food for miles. Now, I actually don't like sushi, so I've only tried their hibachi meals and other items on the menu. From the outside, it looks like your typically corner chinese food place, but it's better than that. I had the seaweed salad, which is my measuring stick for any japanese restaurant. I loved it, just as good as most others I've tried. I tried the teryaki chicken roll, I really enjoyed that. It's their teryaki chicken, rolled in rice and seaweed. Thumbs up! I had the teryaki chicken with fried rice and veggies. It's not as good as real live hibachi restaurant, food cooked in front of you, but it was yummy. The rice was well cooked and flavorful, the chicken was sauced up nicely. Wish there were more veggies, but how many ppl like veggies as much as I do?? ;-)

My favorite place! Fast,great service! Amazing food! The cooks always get my order right. Also, when they say ," it will be ready in 10 minutes." It it ready on time.

Nice quick sit down spot for some sushi and Asian cuisines. My kids and I recommend the Hawaii Roll / Black Dragon Roll for those wanting to try something new. Fresh white tuna was excellent sashimi...

Chicken teriyaki

This Japanese restaurant has a great selection of healthy foods. I had the chicken teriyaki and it was delicious. It comes with plenty of cabbage, broccoli, fried rice/steamed rice and chicken or beef. The rice isn't dry and the chicken has just the right amount of sauce.

8 piece Rainbow Roll $8.95, 8 piece Clinton Roll $11.95, 5 piece Shrimp Tempura Roll $4.99, and 8 piece Spicy Crunch Salmon Roll $5.25.

The Friendly, Fort Washington, Clinton area does not have multiple sushi options for people attempting to stick within a budget. Locals either go into National Harbor, D.C., or make the drive up North. Well, until I discovered this little hole in the wall through Yelp's Current Location option! From the outside, Japan Express appears to be a carry out hibachi set up but they offer quite a decent sushi selection! California, Shrimp Tempura, Rainbow, and even a Clinton roll are all available for guests to enjoy. A California roll for $4.29 or a Rainbow roll for $8.95 are great options if you are craving sushi but don't want to break the bank. Since the establishment serves carry out guests more often than dine in guests, the interior leaves room for improvement. Booths and tables are available but are not consistently cleaned allowing some sticky spots to remain on the tables and floors throughout the day. Orders are completed at a counter and guests are to collect their meals at the counter upon completion; do not expect dine in, sit down, waited service because it is not that type of restaurant. Alcohol choices such as wine and/or beer are also not available but guests can select bottled beverages or a fountain drink option to accompany the meal. While this may not be your spot to show off for guests or date night, Japan Express is an excellent way to eat what you crave without significantly impacting your bank account.

I guess to save money, pack all the sushi in the small container shrimp tempura

Ordered a bowl of pho for dine in, but don't expect any water. You'll have to pay for that!!…read more Also, this is NOT your traditional sit down pho restaurant. Every order will come "to-go" style. You will have to pour your own boiling water broth into the bowl. The broth was bland, watered down and missing the typical rich pho flavor. And the noodles were overly starchy and chewy. In a typical pho restaurant, they will blanch the pho noodles in the broth to get rid of that. In this case, the cook took the dry noodles out of the bag and plopped it into a "to-go" bowl. I am Vietnamese and used to work in an authentic pho restaurant in San Jose. Don't expect traditional experience here. Oh, and Mexican ranchero music was blasting, nothing wrong with that, just a little unexpected The employees there were super nice.

Must admit the food here is quite tasty & fresh!!…read more This spot definitely has become of my "go-to"s" when in this area. The food is fast, quick, and offers a good variety of menu items to mix in to the fold when it comes to looking for fast-casual places offering healthy options--like fresh vegetable and decent proteins. The menu is mostly comprised of hibachi eats, but surprisingly.....this place offers Pho and Noodle dishes as well. In similar fashion to Chipotle but just on an Asian fare tip....you walk down an assembly line of options starting with noodle/rice choices and assemble your bowl of delicious, healthy veggies, proteins and toppings. Place like this is my kind of playground. It gives you a chance to change things up every now and then......from the same old....same ole! On this day I came here and got a steak and jumbo shrimp bowl that was everything! The proteins were seasoned and packed with flavor. The veggies were cooked just right.....from the cabbage, carrots , pickled onions and mushroom toppings. Not to mention the portions were quite hefty....more than I can say than similar places like this that serves similar format....and we all know who I am referring to. In all, I always enjoy coming here. The customer experience and service is top notch. Not to mention, the food quality and fast has been pretty consistent and has not missed the mark! The establishment is always clean and the food stations are spotless. The vibe is very casual and laid back, with lots of dining space if you decided to eat-in but I notice this location is mostly take out. SakuraGo gets a "Thumbs Up" in my book and I recommend! It's definitely worth a visit when in this area. *ELITE TIP: Join the rewards program Lots of perks, deals, discounts and a cool way to earn a free meal.....and who doesn't like that!! :-)

I went here on a whim because I was craving ramen, but then I saw that Kajiken serves not only…read moreramen, but abura soba (a brothless noodle dish where the sauces sit at the bottom of the bowl and get mixed into the noodles). I'd heard about this style of dish before and had been wanting to try it, so of course I had to! I stopped in on a Monday in the middle of the afternoon, and there were already about 4-5 tables occupied, which I took as a good sign! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and seated promptly. I ordered the Chicken Curry Abura Soba, and this was definitely a hit in my book! It smelled and looked so good that I dug right in as soon as it hit the table (so please excuse the picture lol). The curry flavor was rich and full, the noodles were perfectly chewy, and the chicken was crispy on the outside while still moist on the inside. At first, I only mixed everything together slightly and thought it was delicious. But once I REALLY mixed everything and got all of that sauce from the bottom incorporated throughout the noodles? Completely different flavor experience. So good! I also ordered the pork dumplings as an appetizer. I order pork dumplings pretty often when I go out, and whatever version of them Kanjiken is doing, I really enjoyed it. The texture was giving homemade...I don't know if they actually are, but that's what it gave! Either way, they were good. To drink, I had a bottle of white peach black tea, which was crisp, refreshing, and paired really well with the meal. Overall, I highly recommend Kajiken. In fact, I'm writing this review a few days later and seriously considering heading back there for dinner tonight.

Went in on a whim, thinking this was a ramen place (like soup ramen), but found out quickly about…read moreAbura Soba. The sauce is served at the bottom of the bowl and you mix everything together. The beef with the egg yolk was very good, especially along with the spicy add-on sauce (it was spicy!). The noodles & sauce were excellent; you can order add-ons to the noodle bowls, and they come in separate dishes so you can add on yourself to create different bites, and also share. Each add-on was small and good for 1-2 people to share. Tried umeboshi (sour plum) for the first time and loved it mixed in with noodle or rice. Caution to eating by itself, it'll make you pucker up real quick. Wakame soup was comforting. They also have smaller portion rice bowls, that were plenty filling. I would recommend getting a couple add ons though, as the karrage chicken was good, but rather plain. If you like spicy, you can get it here, but you can also keep it mild. Fun dinner. Kevin was a wonderful server, answered my bunches of questions and was friendly about it. I walked in without expectations and walked out with a memorable experience and getting to try new foods. A win in my world! The inside of the restaurant is very well lit and bright. It has a bit of a high end food court, corporate feel to it. I'd go again.

Vibe: Hidden gem for sure. One of those spots that surprises you once you actually try it…read more Food: The red honey chicken was fire, nice kick to it without being overpowering. Chicken came out hot and fresh, waffle fries were seasoned well, and the waffle, honestly tasted more like a funnel cake and was way better than a regular Belgian waffle to me. Service/Timing: Food came out hot and fresh, which already puts them ahead of a lot of places. Value: $20 for a 4-piece meal, basically two sides, a drink, plus an extra waffle was a solid deal. Highlight: Chicken!! Wrap-Up: Definitely a spot I'd go back to. Good portions, flavorful food, and way better than expected. Hidden gem status earned.

This was surprisingly delicious --especially for delivery! We picked this spot at random on the…read moreSunday after Thanksgiving when nobody felt like cooking, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the salmon and shrimp bento box, the chicken and shrimp bento box, and the shrimp and salmon with noodles. The food arrived piping hot, the aroma filled the house, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. If you're choosing between entrées, spend the extra few dollars on the bento box. It comes loaded with a California roll, spring rolls, and a few dumplings. The Yum Yum sauce is the perfect sweet-and-spicy balance and pairs beautifully with the teriyaki. One things is that the shrimp are not abundant so order extra, I think we had about 8 in each order, a bit of a bummer. I was honestly shocked to learn this isn't a sit-down restaurant because the food tastes like a full kitchen crew is back there working magic. If you're craving something fresh, flavorful, and delivered hot--THIS IS THE ONE!
