    Great sushi. Been here and have ordered from here a handful of times over the past two years. We look forward to continuing to support them.

    So dear daughter wanted to check this Japanese restaurant out with the family. She wanted the boat as well as the crispy sushi rice. The crispy rice was so good she wanted a second order! The first order the waiter was kind enough to ask them to make four smaller pieces vs 3 pieces originally since there was 4 of us. So much good food but we managed to eat and gobble everything up! Nice open spacious relaxed place for sushi.

    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.

    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.

    Really great happy hour! It had a very chill and relaxed vibe, it wasn't very crowded at all, and our server was very attentive! My glass of wine was only $4 and everything else was priced very reasonable for happy hour. We will be back!

    Not just fruit flys also a big fly consistently trying to sit on my food.

    I go to Kusshi all the time, but this location has been the worst one I've been to. I told the waiter there was a fly bothering me, and he didn't do anything about it. I had the worst experience here because of the flies near the window. I will never come back to this location again. It wasn't just a group of fruit flies--there was also a big fly that kept trying to land on my food. They need to put up blue light fly traps or do something to address this fly problem.

    Good sushi place for lunch near the hotel. We go here often when we come to DC. Restaurant is spacious, can accommodate large groups. They also serve ramen.

    California, tempura, and avocado rolls

    I do takeout from here. I do it pretty regularly because their sushi is excellent. I typically get lunch from here & it's always extremely fresh. Today I had their tempura rolls, avocado rolls, California rolls & seaweed salad. Even my picky toddler eats it all up, so that says a lot about the quality of their sushi.

    I went with my best friend for dinner last night. They were pretty busy and nearly packed by the time we got there. We ordered 3 different types of sushi and I had a strawberry Japanese soda while she had a sprite. It was delicious. This was my second time getting food from here. But the first time I got my food to go. I will definitely be back in the future.

    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.

    Baltimore roll: Avocado, crab, and Old Bay
    Zoya F.

    Nice location with friendly service. I tried just one roll, so I cannot give a comprehensive review. I sat outside and thought the music was turned up too loud there. It's probably to attract customers?

    Fatty Salmon (Sake Toro) Nigiri

    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.

    Lava Roll

    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!!

As the chicken was soggy and not eatable when I got home even though it was separated from the ramen. I would give them another try if I'm in the area to try more rolls and their alcohol selection.
