    Hibachi Area
    Richard H.

    This is a pretty decent Japanese restaurant offers all-you-can-eat menu including sushi, sashimi, hibachi items, dim sum items, noodles and rice. They also have hibachi menu with chef cooking in front of you. However, for some reason, when we are there our table is a bit sticky. Other than that, the food is as expected, the wide-range of food selection is very good.

    I highly recommend AYCE!! sushi was amazing! You can order through your phone, which is also a great idea because you don't have to wait for your server. Food was coming out fast and drinks were strong. Inside was cute. It's divided into two sides, which is nice. Hibachi on one side and then tables on the other side for all you can eat. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves sushi. They didn't have pork buns or the soup dumplings.

    This is a huge restaurant! Half is for hibachi and half regular restaurant. It was uncomfortably warm to the point I asked the waitress and she said the air conditioning had not been working well. We had the all you can eat sushi and Japanese appetizers. You order from an app on your phone. You cannot over order or they will charge you - 1$ per piece of sushi or 15$ per pound for take out box. Food: Excellent / favorites - handmaid shrimp Shumai (steamed) very good, Kani Rangoon, sex on the beach sushi roll, kiss of fire sushi roll, tuna amazing roll, yellow tail appetizer Good - ponzu oyster, fried gyoza, seaweed salad, flaming tuna chips, fried shrimp shumai, mochi, spicy tuna roll, yellow tail scallion roll Wouldn't get again - fried oyster, pork soup dumplings (very bland), kalbi beef rib (dry) There was a lot more we didn't try. I would definitely come back and try other things! Value was awesome for AYCE for 33$

    Excellent happy hour!! A group of us choose an assortment of maki and specialty rolls along with other appetizers for an early dinner. We loved the salmon roll, shrimp tempura roll and the angry dragon roll. Service was great, parking was easy. We will come back!!

    Came here on a whim for lunch and it was great! They offer hibachi as well as all-you-can-eat sushi which is very cool. We didn't have enough time for AYCE so we just ordered a couple rolls to split. It seemed like they only had 1 server for the whole section so getting her attention was rather difficult but I don't blame her. The sushi was delicious and I would definitely come back!

    Food: the AYCE was spectacular. I have my favorite AYCE sushi lunch, but here it's for dinner too. I went with friends but was so impressed, I plan on taking my family here too. Service: super fast, you order through an iPad and the food comes out within minutes. I will say, do not over order because they charge I think $15 per pound for food that is not eaten. Ambiance: so cute, a lot of people were here on dates.

    I absolutely loved the all you can eat ordering system. Even though they only had two waitstaff for the whole restaurant, it worked relatively well. We had two tables of 6, so there were times when are AYCe order was mixed up but no harm no foul. I loved that ramune and yogurt drink were included. The selection included much more than sushi to include soup dumplings (they stuck to the paper so it would break everytime) and dim sum. They also validated parking so would definitely be back.

    Kabuto is our family's favorite go-to spots for hibachi --whether we're celebrating something special or just coming because we feel like it. The experience is always fun, high-energy, and engaging, and the chefs do an amazing job keeping everyone entertained and full. My daughter absolutely loves it, which makes the experience even more special for our family. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is lively, and the staff makes you feel welcome every time. Kabuto never disappoints and has become a place we truly look forward to visiting. Chef J is our favorite!

    Driving down the pike with a grumbling stomach is never a good idea. Actually, driving on the…read morepike is never a good idea, but I digress. I admit, I pulled into the first plaza I saw that was easy to get in to find something, and wound up at Akira. I've had their ramen before at other locations, but this was my first time at this one. The place had a little bit of a crowd in it, but I was quickly seated. The Rockville location here is perhaps not the most beautifully decorated, with some rather odd ornamentation (like an actual, possibly functional, payphone? ), but it's still a nicer spot than a typical lunch counter. Okay, confession. I have no idea what the different ramens are. I always just kind of pick one randomly, and I've never met a ramen I didn't like. This time, I got the tantanmem. Of course, picking randomly, I picked one that used ivory soap as a topping -- or as you fancy people call it, "cilantro." Realising my error, I quickly caught the waitress and asked for it to be omitted. Akira actually skipped it! YAY! Thank you. I cannot tell you the number of times that request gets met with a "no problem" only for my dish to be overflowing with soap bubbles later. The broth had a little bit of a spice to it, not much, which was delightful. Everything was well cooked, and it really hit my hangry spot. My only small complaint was that my egg was still cold -- but, also, the bowl was set in front of me, and I simply hit the "ON" button and vacuumed it in.

I'm getting Pho next time of walking into my other Ramen spot next time. It cost me almost 45% more and I'll order in person next time.

Absolutely floored by the fatty tuna sushi roll. It is on the pricier side, but honestly, I don't think I even minded. We got the katsu and sashimi combo plus some rolls on the side. The katsu was delicious, and the sashimi was super fresh. The combo also came with the cutest little side dishes, really adorable presentation overall. The staff was also incredibly attentive about my friend's allergies (dairy and nuts). They kept checking in with us and even showed us the sauce ingredients to make sure everything was safe. One of the staff members called my friend "kawaii" after hearing her long list of allergies lol, and honestly, that made my day.

Staff was friendly and it felt like I was at a home kitchen because it felt cozy and welcoming. I ordered the katsu don and agedashi tofu. I loved how the tofu was slightly fried and the sauce complimented it very well. This appetizer felt light and made me crave for it more. The katsu don felt very comforting and was flavored nicely. I did add some togarashi for some spice. I would definitely come back to this place! It reminded me when I visited Japan because of the atmosphere and food.

I usually order tonkotsu and am hesitant to try others since the broth makes all the difference but I ordered the shoyu ramen this time and it was delicious! Lighter than tonkotsu broth but still super flavorful. And the noodles had that good chew/mouth feel which makes all the difference. I also ordered the house black tea with boba and cheese foam which was also oishii! I appreciated that they had brewed tea options since often find milk tea to be too much with food. Sometimes places that do both boba and food nail one, but not the other but this place was great on both fronts! Service was quick and friendly as well.

The pork broth is standout, but I absolutely dream about the spider ramen. Named for the fried softshell on the top (which you can ask to swap for more shrimp), has a tom yum-like flavor. Creamy, spicy and slightly acidic, the broth could be poured on cardboard and I would eat it. Noodles are always perfect and the seafood is present, but not a huge portion - so you can focus on the broth. My only complaint? The lobster broth in the spider ramen dish is not listed as an option for the "make your own" bowl...which would allow me to perfectly customize it. I will regularly order the spider bowl in the meantime with no softshell, extra shrimp, and if I'm feeling down additional noodles and broth (allowing me to indulge for multiple meals) . Bubble tea is tasty - especially the rose milk tea. This place has a counter with a handful of seats and two tables for 4-6. After waiting for a table, we decided to mostly do takeout. We can order online. Would be great if they had a spot out front for takeout pickup as parking around the restaurant can be hard at times.
