Reasonably priced! Great place if you are looking for rolls. They also have non sushi options on the menu! Place gets kinda busy so service can be a little slow but it's all around a great experience!

Sushi Assortment

Sushi, especially the sashimi, is amazing. My family comes here often and is our favorite sushi in Annapolis. Very unassuming location, it looks small from the outside but is quite large once you enter. They also have an outdoor space. Unfortunately you have to enter inside before going to the outside space so it's not dog-friendly. Service is great and would recommend!

Salmon avocado roll and salmon maki
Alexandra M.

Absolute best maki I've ever had hands down We came for lunch and got the (2) salmon avocado rolls, (2) salmon maki, and (1) salmon nigiri. I kept thinking we were going to spend way too much on sushi but it was so cheap! The salmon maki was the best maki I've ever had. It was slightly salty which really brought out the flavor. I will 100% come here again next time I'm in Annapolis.

Top Tuna, Salmon, and Yellowtail NIGIRI.  LEFT is basic Tuna & Salmon roll.  Chesapeake Roll, Dynamite Roll, & Chilean Sunset Roll
Roberto B.

The sushi is very good. Nigiri is tough to beat. Thick big pieces. The Rolls were very good also. Love the ambiance. Lighting was perfect and tables spread out so they're not too close. Servers are nice, helpful, and very attentive. Thank you for a great meal.

Favorite sushi spot in Maryland! The sushi rice is consistently perfect and the fish is always fresh. The "creamy spicy" (spicy mayo) sauce is so iconic they sell it bottled. Faves are the crunchy ebi, tuna avocado, unagi, toro, and Saki (I ask for it torched).

This had a Crab & Roe, Crunchy Ebi and I don't remember what the other two were.

I absolutely love this spot! Great sushi, reasonable prices and calming atmosphere. Servers are great here, but always love getting Matt.

This sushi was so fresh and had such a wide variety at an affordable price. While we did have to wait awhile since they don't take reservations, the service was quick. The actual restaurant is in a great location in downtown Annapolis and the restaurant decor and vibe is great.

Redskin, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, spicy salmon rolls

Joss is the go to sushi bar in DTA. Sushi here is always fast and fresh. Service is always fast since they churn people in and out all day. Inside is always busy so if you're looking for a quiet outing, pick a not so busy time.

UPDATE 6/8/2024 I received an email from management letting me know they have spoken to BOTH servers involved in this situation. I'm still appalled that these servers felt so entitled to message and harass someone just because she didn't realize her tip from my friend was on MY check. If the staff from Joss feel they aren't being paid "a living wage" perhaps Joss should either look into paying their staff more, or these servers should look for work elsewhere. Nevertheless, I'm truly thankful that Joss took this situation seriously, and handled it appropriately.

Age Dashi Tofu

Went here last night with my cousins, mom and husband for late dinner but got seated right away (around 845pm). Yes it's a bit pricey but we got what we paid for. 100% satisfied and will be returning! Our server was great, attentive and thoughtful, making sure we always had what we needed without being prompted. We ordered a variety of nigiri, one roll, tonkatsu shoyu ramen. My cousins got tempura and the tofu and my mom got the Chilean salad. Drink orders included: Diet Coke, green tea, glass of sauv blanc wine and 2 edo old fashioneds. Food didn't take too long to come out and the food was finished quick! The fish:rice ratio was perfect and the fish cuts and taste were magnificent. Our sushi craving has been fulfilled. My cousins and mom had eaten there before and recommended it. My mom loved the salad so much the first time that she ordered it again. The ramen was a little salty for my taste but still tasty and edible. This restaurant is good for couples or crowds, lots of seating at the bar and restaurant. Happy to find a good sushi spot in Annapolis! If you're willing to pay, it's worth it!
