hibiscus rose (short)
April J.

Drinks were great, atmosphere at the bar on a Saturday evening (10pm) was lively. Music was good at the bar yet the music in main dining room (back end of restaurant) was respectfully quiet. Pineapple sushi was superb!!!!! Food arrived in reasonable time. Staff was great.

Let me start with with I am extremely excited to have tried this new place. Compliment to the itamae for the amazing sushi. The lava is probably one of the best sushi combination I've ever eaten and it's a favorite for sure; followed by the smoke salmon. The service was excellent, everything came in an orderly manner and our server was extremely nice. It's a very nice and quiet of a place. Great for big parties as well as small ones. Enjoyed it very much. The music isn't loud so makes it easier as well to have conversations.

Edamame
Alayah H.

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, some sushi, definitely come here you can stay as long as you want, or it can be quickly brought to you because the service was also very fast, especially sitting at the bar. They had a hibiscus and rose cocktail that I loved drank two of them so fast. they have table seating as well as bar seating, which makes it comfortable for like dinners date night, as well as just watching a game. The sweet shrimp was amazing and my friend loves the fatty tuna Chutoro. And the role I got was also amazing. We ended up getting the rock shrimp and edamame, which were really nice. I will be back for sure.

I hadn't visited Kusshi in a while and my friend wanted sushi so it was an easy choice. I've been here several times, but my review is old so a new one is warranted. We ordered several apps and sushi to share. The waiter was attentive and helpful. The sushi was super fresh and the highest quality as it has been each visit. Here's my breakdown: Shrimp and veggie tempura: very crunchy and the perfect temperature. Cooked perfectly. Tuna ball: always a favorite. Fresh and very very delicious Shishito peppers: charred and seasoning was spot on. Volcano roll: as expected, nothing that blew me away, but great nonetheless still wonderful Phoenix roll: this one was great too. Probably one of my favorites Ruby roll: I can't give a review on this as I didn't try it, but my friend really enjoyed it Creamy California roll: it was just that. Creamy. Great experience overall. I continue to recommend it here.

Kusshi Noodle

Overall: good food, lackluster service, cute casual ambiance, multi-stall gendered restrooms I was surprised how easy it was to get a seat right away dinner time on a Saturday. We had udon, 2 special rolls, and miso soup. Everything was delicious, but nothing stood out to set them apart from the other sushi spots we frequent. I loved the balance of noodles, meats, and veggies in the noodles. I wish our servers would have checked in on us more often and i didn't like how the drink menu was only accessible online.

kusshi noodles

summary: a bit of an underwhelming experience, but overall ok. The restaurant is located in the Pike & Rose retail area and offers Japanese style cuisine at a somewhat premium price (also offers Omakase, which is somewhat unique, so that's cool too!). The service was pretty disappointing. It wasn't too busy of a time, but we were pretty infrequently checked on and kind of left idling for pretty long stretches of time. The food was okay. The noodle dish was mid $20, so I definitely expected more. The meat was tough and chewy. A bit disappointing considering it was their namesake dish. The sushi was decent. If I was rating the sushi alone without the other food and service, I'd probably say it was a 4/5. However, I'm not sure that given my experience, how I would feel about splurging for their Omakase.

Kusshi is an awesome sushi spot that is open late on most nights. They have Alaina Japanese foods such as sushi, sushi boats, noodle dishes, and sake. This spot is laidback with a calm atmosphere. The miso soup is delicious and I love their California rolls. I always receive great service and refreshing cocktails here. Parking is plentiful in one of their many garages within pike & rose. I like the location as it's tucked back a little bit from the main streets. I also love that there's a small market adjacent to the restaurant that sells Asian snacks and drinks. Super fun to browse and try new foods! I will definitely be back!

10/10. We aren't from the area, but every year we come back to this restaurant because it's that good. We have so much fun here, not to mention the food is also good. The place just has a cool vibe to it, and we love our girl Kaylee, Manager and Bartender. She was a blast and made the experience for our group. We'll be back next year for year 3

Seared
Lucas C.

3/5 Kusshi in Bethesda has a great vibe and truly excellent service the staff was friendly and attentive the entire time. The tuna belly was outstanding, easily one of the best bites of the night. However, the seared salmon was way too sweet for my taste. I wish they'd lean into a more savory, balanced flavor like Umi Sushi does. With a few tweaks to their seasoning, this place could easily be a five-star spot. I suggested some garlic chili oil

Shrimp Shumai
TaNeisha J.

I ordered Kusshi Sushi via Uber Eats, and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I love shumai and sushi. The reviews seemed favorable, so off I went to order my favorite dishes. I ordered shrimp shumai and the Bethesda Roll. The shrimp shumai was horrid. They were so small. I called them "popables"...just pop them in your mouth and done. They were served steamed with no amount of flavor. I prefer for shrimp shumai to be medium / large with pieces of shrimp you can actually taste. I've had shumai with robust ginger flavors as well. All of what I thought was customary for shrimp shumai was non-existent with Kusshi Sushi's version. Eating it, along with the lack of presentation, left much to be desired. I would never get this dish again. The Bethesda Roll was typical -- tuna, salmon and avocado. There was nothing memorable about it. Just sushi. Although my Kusshi Sushi experience was via Uber Eats, I think all experiences -- regardless if takeout or dine-in -- should leave a good impression. Unfortunately for Kusshi Sushi, I wouldn't try it again.

Very upset by my doordash order. The ikura salmon Roe looked beautiful but upon contact with my tongue it was bursts of sour and extremely fishy. The miso Soup container had dish soap on the sides and I still can't get the dish soap taste out of my mouth!!!! The hamachi collarbone was overcooked. The rolls have no consistency with rice:fish ratio. The silver spring location is much better...

Thursday 1/2/2025 I've never had a real authentic sushi experience so my friend Tyler recommended the firecracker roll from kusshi sushi. I made an online order through uber eats and got the takoyaki $9, Kusshi seared fatty salmon belly (nigiri) $11, pan-fried pork gyoza $11, Kusshi wings $14, and the firecracker roll $17. - the firecracker roll was a first time experience for me and it was alright (I still don't see the sushi hype). - The salmon nigiri was also a new item for me and it was pretty good. It had a sweet & savory type of sauce that really elevated the taste. - Takoyaki (octopus balls) is once again another item I had never tried before and they were a nice surprise. They were topped with flakes and a sweet, savory white sauce & brown sauce that complimented it well. - The kusshi wings were pretty good but could've benefited from the wings being more moist by saucing them a bit more (the sauce was good). Didn't realize until after but $14 for 6 wings is pretty ridiculous. Wings should not be more than $2 per wing. - The pork gyoza (pan-fried) was alright but none special. Overall, the food was pretty decent but also very EXPENSIVE when you consider some of the portions received.

Kusshi will always be the first sushi place I recommend to friends when they're looking for fresh, tasty, creative sushi. Their signature rolls are so delicious and there's a diverse menu to choose from. On top of that, if you don't like sushi or seafood there are plenty of other options like ramen or katsu chicken/pork. I've been here many times and each time the waiters have been so kind and helpful when looking through the menu. There is also plenty of comfy seating inside, and the outside patio was recently renovated.

Do you still have a lunch menu and price?

It's a tad pricey for lunch. And the MUSIC is sooooo LOUD like being in an Abercrombie and Fitch Store out of control. I always have to ask them to turn it down. I stopped going after paying 30 bucks without alcohol for ONE Person.

Do they take reservations?

Called ahead, and they said they do not take reservations.

Do they offer any rolls that don't contain undercooked or raw fish?

Tiger roll, volcano roll, shrimp tempura roll, spider roll, Troy roll, dragon roll, white dragon roll, lava roll, baked California roll

Are crabs still available in December and are they as good as in the summer months?

Do you open Happy Hour menu on Christmas day?

Open 11:30am - 12am | Dinner Menu Only :)

The atmosphere in the dining area was really nice. Immersed with the Japanese vibes and culture. However, when you use the restroom, this is a different topic. I believe the staff made sure that every area was clean before opening. I do suggest that someone would check at least the status. Imagine your customer being delighted with all the food and seeing gruesome in your cubicle would paint a bad experience and all the delicious food and service were tainted. Overall food and service wise, this is a good experience.

The décor is beautiful, lots of gold accents and very clean. I honestly didn't expect the inside to be so elegant. Even the silverware is gold, and the plates have gold trim. It feels upscale but still warm and welcoming. We tried the lunch buffet and it was absolutely delicious. The food wasn't overly spiced, salty, or sweet, everything tasted balanced and made with care, like something your grandma would cook. I went around 1:45 PM expecting the buffet to look picked over or dry (like many places that late in service), but everything was fresh and fully stocked. Great variety, very flavorful, and the meats were well marinated. The staff was friendly and attentive, my water glass was never empty. Lunch buffet is $24.99 per person and absolutely worth it. They close at 2:30 PM and reopen for dinner at 4:30 PM. There's ample free parking and even a party room for larger gatherings. So happy to have found this place. I'll definitely be back!
