I love this place. I've been a frequent customer of both the Rockville and DTSS locations for a few years now. The fatty salmon is always divine and my go to is the lava roll with a few subs bc I'm allergic to crab. I honestly just came here to give your standout server Kyle a nod. Out of the two locations, Kyle is always provides exceptional service. Attentive, welcoming and kind. read more

The fatty salmon nigiri tastes divine. We also had their ramen and pork katsu. Everything was served promptly and fresh. My major contention with this experience is that our waiter, Zoe was inattentive and unprofessional. Our dessert arrived 5 minutes after receiving our dinner. I asked her if they could make our dessert fresh and her response was, how long will it take you to eat? To which I responded I don't know. It was an odd experience because most waiters are attentive enough to know when a table is ready for dessert or they simply ask. As I expected, by the time we received the fried ice cream, the plate looked sloppy and the ice cream on the inside was melted. It clearly was the same plate. Finally, while I was packing my dinner she seemed to recall she never brought me chili paste I had asked for during dinner. No apology or anything. Overall, it was a disappointing experience from a waiter who should be retrained. read more

Ordered this for dinner and highly recommend--the ramen was delicious and VERY full. I was surprised the amount of broth and additions included. The sushi tasted good, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Baltimore roll--too much Old Bay-- but the lava roll was DELICIOUS. I ordered delivery, so next time I'd love to go in-person as I'm sure the food would taste better freshly done as it arrived lukewarm. read more

My go to for sushi when I'm in town! Always great service and food, sushi is great. I always take out, and never had an issue.

I work in downtown Silver Spring and I was craving sushi for lunch today. I did a search on Yelp and saw that this place was nearby. I ordered a lava roll. I went in. It was kind of empty, probably because of the rain, but when I tell you, this is one of the best sushi rolls that I've had in a long time, very fresh and packed with flavor. My order was ready when I arrived just like it said it would be. The restaurant itself is very nice and quaint. Every time I crave sushi while I'm at work, I'm definitely coming here. This lava roll is PERFECT!! read more

Kusshi - Lava Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

No parking around(Or I should say extremely hard to find parking). So not friendly for who drive just for dine in. Sushi(Nigiri) is fresh and is exactly what I expected. The size of nigiri and the taste like Omakase sushi, but only take half price of other omakase restaurants, so I'm really satisfied with this part. I love Seared Salmon the best, and then the Fatty Salmon, Medium Fatty Tuna. The Mackerel nigiri really surprised me, it's fresh and little fatty, only little sour, which I really love it!! Total $98 includes tax for 2 people but my husband says it's small portion for him and it's not enough. This is just a reference for everyone else. Overall, this is valuable and recommendable. Uber Eats might have some discounts so you can order in Uber Eats and pick it up. read more

In town for a work trip and I came looking for some chicken katsu curry! Found this place while looking on google, and came before I went to a concert. It was a cute little place with seating for small to large gatherings as well as a bar area if people would like to sit alone or prefer that type of dining experience. Service was good, the young lady at the front desk helped me out as it was my first time there, and was very friendly and sweet, as well as very on top of making sure I was okay. I did eat the chicken katsu curry and it was delicious!! Large portion and very delicious. Being a spicy person, I'd only love if it had more spice to it but that's okay! The potatoes and carrots in the curry were delicious, chicken breaded and seasoned nicely, and the rice is delicious as is. I'll have to come back before I leave! read more

I was in downtown Silver Spring to see a movie, and took the opportunity to che K out the Kusshi Sushi around the corner to the Regal Majestic theater. I go to the Kusshi location at Pike and Rose in North Bethesda frecuently, but I had not tried this other site of the Kusshi empire. Kusshi Sushi Silver Spring is tucked away in a recessed store front, so you have to look for it carefully, otherwise you may miss it. There are some tables outside to dine Al fresco, but the main seating in inside. You have to go to the main register to "check in" and then seat at a table for service. I found this a little bit odd since the decor gives more of a take-out/casual fast service vibe; it is sparse and practical, with many two seater tables, but every seat has already a set up (glass, chopstick and napkin). Kusshi serves popular Japanese dishes, like sushi, sashimi, rolls, katsu (chicken, pork cutlets),various noodle dishes, etc. I decided to splurge and ordered the "deluxe" sushi/sashimi combination, which included more expensive fish like toro tuna, fatty salmon, Japanese mackerel. I also added an order of uni (sea urchin roe) because I just love it. The order came in a traditional, old-fashion giant sushi boat, which was fun. There was a great variety of both sushi and sashimi(fish only), including ebi(raw shrimp), fatty tuna belly (toro), and various salmon. There was a higher sashimi ratio, which it typically makes a sushi serving more expensive. I got the sea urchin order (2 pieces) at the end and they were small but super fresh and delicious. The freshness of the fish was a characteristic of all the fish included! The rice was soft and not overly seasoned with vinegar, which is a trick used by restaurants when they are serving not-so-fresh fish. I also ordered a Sapporo Black Japanese beer, which was served in a frosty tall glass, and it was much appreciated! The service was incredibly attentive and friendly, which was algo greatly appreciated. The only negative issue that I noted was that their air conditioning was making a horrible noise and there was a drip from the ceiling being catch by a bucket at the very entrance, which I hope is a transitory situation in an otherwise perfectitly acceptable restaurant offering fresh fish at a good value. Recommended! read more

Kusshi - Assorted bowl and nigiri - A sashimi platter featuring slices of raw fish, shrimp, and octopus, garnished with wasabi, ginger, and edible flowers, served on a white dish. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

The sashimi snob is at it again! Cozy space in downtown Silver Spring, with outdoor tables as eager for warm weather as I am. The tempura appetizer was excellent, just enough batter for a satisfying crunch without overwhelming the perfectly cooked interior. And not a hint of greasyness! I ordered the sashimi bento. Big bowl of hearty miso soup. Gyoza, shumai, and Spring rolls were good, but not exciting. The California roll was totally minimal, about the diameter of a quarter and made with [barf] surimi. The pork bun had an intriguing interplay of tastes and textures. And last but not least [drum roll] the sashimi. Two generous cuts each of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. Good, but didn't evoke salt spray and gull calls as the best fish can. Service was cordial, but the pace was a bit off. I wound up with soup, appetizer, and main all on the table at the same time. So I'll give it a good, not great. Fine place to stop in during shopping or before a movie. And don't forget the check-in offer. read more

We love Kusshi, especially the happy hour. My kids devour their sushi and love to get the fun Japanese sodas. The service is beyond excellent, we often have the same server (Hi Naomi! We love you!) and it's good people watching if you eat outside. I hate the turnover of restaurants around here and hope Kusshi makes it in the long run. Do not miss! read more

I came for a quick lunch on the last {rainy} day of my spring break. I needed to soak my sorrow (and avoid doing my taxes) in good sushi so, I ordered the Chesapeake and Fenton rolls. Fenton ($20): Steamed lobster and avocado topped with soft shell crab and spicy mayo. Chesapeake ($15): Lump crabmeat and avocado topped with yellowtail and a jalapeño (which I pushed aside). Loved them both, but the Fenton is the winner! read more

Kusshi might as well be one of my autopay accounts with how often I find myself coming back and spending money here, lol. Every other week, I'm swiping my card to get a taste of what I consider the Culinary Holy Trinity--California roll, pork gyoza (pan-fried only babe), and shrimp tempura. It's one of my fave pick-me-ups that improves my mood instantly, no matter how my day has gone. 20-minute delay on the metro to get to home? It's okay babyyy bc I'm grabbing Kusshi tonight. LOL I do my little happy dance after every bite! But honestly, can you reallyyyy blame me? The flavors are consistently on point, and customer service is always friendly. Though I have yet to sit down for inside for a meal, if you can pull off takeout, you're solid AF in my book. Give me the Holy Trinity every time! read more

I liked this restaurant, at first I thought it would be counter service, but when we arrived at the register, we were sat and had a server. We went during happy hour, which had good deals -- we got edamame, potstickers, and the salmon avocado roll from the happy hour menu. I did not like the potstickers, they seemed like they were frozen. I thought the avocado pieces in my roll were too big. The eel roll and shrimp tempura roll were good! The ambiance is casual, and they have a cool area where they sell snacks. I did not like how I was not able to review the bill before paying. Overall I would return. read more

Since this location had opened we had returned several times to great food and service. Our most recent visit yielded a new menu with new items. One was their Japanese Katsu curry. I ordered that with tofu as the protein source. My companion ordered the Nationals roll, which also looked like a new food choice. We also ordered agedashi tofu and seared fatty salmon nigiri to share. Everything came out great. The seared fatty salmon was slightly sweet with subtle caramelization on the surface and soft on the inside. The agedashi tofu was crispy silken tofu immersed in dashi, always good. The curry was rich and smooth, with a little spice and sweetness. It had vegetable chunks and fried tofu pieces. My companion liked the nationals roll (spicy tuna with cucumber on the inside, yellowtail on the outside). Will be back again! read more

This reviews is for delivery. Packaging was innovative and compact. Utensils were included even though I forgot to request them, so I appreciate that.

I enjoyed it, but wouldn't rush to order again. If I do, I'll try the miso broth next time. read more

I accidentally stopped by Kusshi Sushi, which was a pleasant surprise, because I was starving and could not walk another step. Ok, so my last statement was a bit of a hyperbole. Unfortunately, the restaurant was super warm during my visit; however, the weather was nice enough to eat outside . . . #phew. I thought Kusshi had a very diverse menu, especially when it comes to speciality rolls. I'm a bit basic when it comes to rolls so I went with the eel cucumber roll, spicy scallop roll, and another roll whose name has escaped me. I thought the rolls were pretty delicious, and they really hit the spot. Service was pretty good. However, I had to LOL at the service a little. My waitress stopped by the table to see how my meal was going, but I already had finished my meal by time she stopped by the table. In my waitress' defense, I was kind of hungry so I probably ate my rolls pretty fast. read more

Kusshi Sushi is another good choices for Japanese restaurant in DMV area. They have Sushi in their restaurant name but they also serve a variety of Japanese foods besides Sushi/Sashimi/Rolls on the menu. I only tried Beef Curry over rice, Spicy Rock Shrimp (app.) and Chicken Yakitori (app.) for take-out. Anyway, I was happy with all. Everything was ready and packed very well when I picked up. Next time I will try more especially Sushi at the restaurant which is opened not many years in Silver Spring, MD. They have nice and spacious dining room includes a good size of outdoor seating patio, too. It is located in busy location but near 2-3 parking garages and street parking meters around. So that shouldn't be a problem for you to visit them. For me, the price is quite a little high, because of downtown area that I see. The quality of their food is good though. read more

I've been here a few times now. This restaurant opened up earlier this year and pulls a good crowd. The restaurant has a modern, open- concept vibe. It's clean and gives a fresh feeling.

I've visited the other Kusshi restaurants, so I'm happy to have one a bit closer to me! The interior is filled with bright, colorful murals, and there's seating available indoors and outdoors. Here's what I ordered: Chicken Kaarage 9/10 - large chunks of chicken and perfect crisp - not a fan of the sauce that comes with it -- almost no taste and pasty - recommend asking for a different sauce like spicy mayo Spicy Tuna Avocado Roll 7/10 - name says it all -- it's a ball of spicy tuna with avocado on top - enjoyed the sauce - maybe it's a lack of textures, but this was just OK as an appetizer Fire Cracker 6.5/10 - plenty of crab on top - was just an average roll for me Dragon 10/10 - unagi is always a favorite for me -- my top roll for sure! - unlike other dragon rolls, they have the unagi under the nori instead of on top - flavorful Seared Spicy Salmon 6/10 - very disappointed in this roll as it was bland Nationals 7/10 Lava Roll 10/10 - topped full of creamy deliciousness! - abundance of tempura - my 2nd favorite roll after the dragon Service was quick and friendly! Small note that the table size for two is pretty small for the amount that we ordered. read more

I caught up with a friend here, and it was my first time at this location. It's not as big as Rockville, from what I can remember. We sat at a table near the order counter, but we had someone who came to our table for service. I got some sake at the tail-end of happy hour, but then I decided to browse their regular menu. As I always say, if takoyaki is on the menu, I'm going to grab it! I really could eat it everyday... I know, it's fried, so I shouldn't. I haven't had bad takoyaki yet, so theirs was delicious, and so was the veggie sampler. got, which was an array of vegetarian sushi rolls like avocado and kanypo. I was quite full once I finished.

We were in Silver Spring in early evening and had a craving for tempura so decided to give Kusshi a try since they seem to have a pretty extensive menu beside sushi offerings. The restaurant is relatively new (opened last fall) and apparently is a chain that has a number of locations in the DMV although this is the first one we've ever been to. The place has high ceilings, contemporary decor and colorful and fun wall murals. It feels like a fast casual restaurant although there is table service. There are tables both in and outdoors - the outside area is fully covered and enclosed with just the front opening to the street. You need to see the hostess for seating although when it's not too busy they just tell you to pick your own table. They still have plastic encased paper menus which is convenient. We had the tempura entree and shrimp katsu don. Both quite tasty - the tempura with 4 pieces of big shrimps and about a dozen pieces of different types of vegetables (broccoli, eggplant, peppers, zucchini etc) and rice, is quite enormous, a good sharing size. At $20 per entree pricing is comparable to most other Japanese restaurants in the area. They have a Japanese snack stand near the front selling stuff such as green tea and white chocolate KitKat however no Japanese rice crackers. Parking is free in the Whole Foods parking lot across the street. read more
