    Spicy Crunch Spicy Tuna Roll, Eel Avocado Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll
    Kara S.

    This has been our go to sushi place for years. It's a little pricey but DoorDash will deliver to us up in Olney so it's worth it! We usually get miso soup, a mix of rolls and Nigiri. We always enjoy it. We have tried many other sushi places but always come back to this one. Our orders don't normally include soy sauce or chopsticks so make sure you have some at home!

    Amazing sushi! My wife and I first ordered from here for New Years Eve to ring in 2021 as it was the only year we had no friends due to the severity of the pandemic and lack of vaccines. We decided to order from here again on Wednesday night to celebrate my wife's two year work anniversary and me graduating from physical therapy on the same day. We ordered a Vegetable Tempura Udon as well as the following rolls: Dynamite, Futomaki, Tarter, Fantasy, Mobydick, Crispy Spicy Tuna, Sweet Potato, Green, and Philadelphia. The rolls were very wide and filling to the point we had leftovers. I think the sushi chef may have been different and made it Korean style rather than the traditional Japanese we remember before, but the food was still delicious and portions were much larger. The prices are also reasonable, especially for the portions. We look forward to ordering from here again and dining here eventually in person.

    This place is hidden away in the alley behind dunkin right across from the Wheaton metro. But it's a hidden gem. My friend had ordered delivery from here before but this was the first time I've been in. Well it definitely won't be the last. I got a sushi combo and a specialty roll and a bottled water (they don't have a fountain) for under 40. The quality and portion size of the nigiri and rolls is generous and everything tasted great. I'll definitely be back when I want sushi now that hinode closed this is probably my new go to.

    Salmon Hand Roll, Salmon Roe(Ikura), Spicy Tuna Roll

    I wish I had discovered this sushi spot earlier!!! The salmon hand rolls and spicy tuna rolls were freaking amazing and so is their salmon roe!!! Honestly all you need is the salmon hand roll!!! It's that great!!!

    It's one of the few sushi places in Wheaton so naturally it is one of the better places for this area but this is one of the cases where I would be willing drive out to Rockville instead. The ratio of fish to rice is low. I got the cali roll, eel, and spicy tuna combo with miso soup which was $15 lunch special. The quality is average, and generally speaking if you have a craving and want to stay local, this place will hit 5/5 for that. But in comparison to the rest of the county?, it's average and quite pricy for the quality and ratio. Customer service was solid 5/5 tho.

    In terms of quality, this place is literally the next best thing to a Japanese steakhouse/sushi spot. Fresh sushi, always, and very reasonable prices.

    We were in the mood for sushi on a Saturday evening, and found this nearby place on Yelp. This is why I love Yelp. Anyway, they have these awesome sushi combos here that come with soup and salad, and we loved it. Place is clean, food very fresh and well prepared. We will definitely be back.

We thought…read moreit was strictly a takeout place but were happily surprised to see a row of booths along the side wall and counter seating in the front area. We were greeted by their friendly staff and ordered a bunch of food, because we wanted it all! You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. We started with chicken egg rolls. One order included 2 egg rolls. I loved that they were not greasy and that they were lightly fried. Inside was ground chicken. Very tasty comfort food for a cold night. Next we had sushi rolls. We thoroughly enjoyed the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls. They were perfect in every way Finally, we had the steak and shrimp hibachi platters, mine with teriyaki sauce and noodles and my husband's with rice. Both came with cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. The portions are good-sized. We could only eat half and took the rest home for dinner the next night. Scrumptious! I highly recommend Hibachi Express. Delicious, high-quality food at reasonable prices. I am putting this restaurant in my favorites!

Even without a reservation, I was seated immediately, which was a great first impression. The service was excellent. Our server mentioned it was her first day, but you would never have guessed as she was attentive, warm, and handled everything beautifully. The food truly stood out. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The hibachi experience was just as enjoyable. The chef was entertaining, skilled, and added a fun, engaging touch to the meal. The restaurant itself is clean, inviting, and has a great atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great sushi or hibachi experience.

I think that the customer service was excellent and the chef had charisma, personality, and should do stand up, he was a pleasure and a joy such a guy with rizz. My issue was the food itself as the rice was amazing but did not age well being taken back home for take out, and the chicken and salmon were not as flavorful as a homemade version I would had cooked so there was the blandness. I ended up having digestive issues and got sick for a day or two after eating from here which was disappointing, because the vibe is awesome in this spot and the positive energy is contagious. I felt so relaxed and joyous here. I think the food can be cooked better even though they are generous with excellent portion sizes. I think it is a strong contender for one of the best restaurants in the region if they step the food preparation up. I also did not like this sauce they provided, but it does have better customer service than the typical DMV spots which tend to struggle with the customer service, so they get an A with that making you feel welcomed and respected and not strictly transactional experience, very warm, nice, attentive, diligent, and hard working staff, so they have the bones here, so once they step up the actual food prep and quality then they will be 4 to 5 stars easily. That is all I got!

    My second time here…read more I do really like this area of Columbia and realize that I want to hang out here more often. When you arrive at the restaurant, the hostess greets you and ask if you have a reservation. Both times I've been here, it wasn't too busy but it was during the week. Service is really good. They're always very helpful in explaining the menu. We went with the AYCE Master option. The Legend option with the Wagyu looks appealing but I can't justify spending $88 a person. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem spending the money, since most of it goes to alcohol when we're having dinner anyways, but it was a really nice experience. This would be a place I would bring friends from out of town who want to have an experience similar what you would find NYC or Vegas. We had a really good time, especially on $10 margaritas and all you can eat meat. The presentation is really wonderful and I love the thought behind the presentation when it comes out. The Wagyu Fried Rice and Curry is one of the bests I've ever had. And the scallops with butter on the grill were awesome. Definitely a favorite. I will add the the iPad that you order with will start a timer for 90 minutes, and you can only put in an order every ten minutes which was annoying, so I did feel a bit of pressure with ordering. The time limit is to control time spent which makes sense if it was busy. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the wet mop smell we had during dinner, but don't know if it is because it was hot out and the AC was not blasting high enough with all the grills going off, so it was kind of hot and sticky during dinner. I may come back next time to check out Happy Hour next time! Vibes are actually pretty cool. Service is great.

When I looked online, there was no availabilities so decided to chance it and come anyway. I am so glad that I did. Inside looks amazing. Really sets the mood for an enjoyable night. If you like Japanese barbecue, you will love it. They have many different tears that you can purchase. Starting at 68 and going away up to over 100. You can also choose to add unlimited sushi for an additional five dollars. That was definitely worth the add on. They give you full sushi rolls and not just a couple of pieces. They will limit you to a maximum of 15 items you can order and one time. It seems like a lot, but that also includes your appetizers and sizes. There is also a 10 minute cooldown between orders. Overall, the experience is excellent. Not a place you would come frequently but for an occasional night out, it is great. I am interested in coming in one day just to check out the bar scene. As we were leaving, it looked pretty lively over there.

It was really popular that evening, so the three of got squished at the table meant for two, but we didn't mind. The menu is pretty extensive, offering ramen, udon, tonkatsu, rice bowls, grilled fish sets, and more. We ordered pretty quickly, but with how busy it was, it took a bit for the food to come out CHILEAN SEA BASS - 37 As I scanned through, my eyes immediately fell on the miso sea bass. Despite the price point, I knew I had to go for it because sea bass is hard to find around here. This set came with rice, house salad, miso soup, and cold tofu. The sides were pretty standard -- no compliments, but no complaints either. On the other hand, the sea bass was wonderful. Super creamy and soft, with a strong miso sweetness that packed so much umami upon each bite. I would definitely splurge on this set just for the sea bass. My friend got the ramen and didn't love it, so I'll probably avoid that during future visits. The katsu curry that the table next to us ordered looked and smelled amazing. Overall, food was delicious and homey. I'd definitely recommend!

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.

We ordered some app, sushi, and a ton of meats. The sushi was so/so the ikura was a bit fishy/not the freshest, but I gave it a pass since it was included in the AYCE. The fried lotus was surprisingly my favorite non meat dish. Our friend rice was served lukewarm (the consistency of rice was a bit uneven like older rice that was left out for a bit) and way too oily so we had to send it back. Had no issues with the meat and service - although it was a tad slow and the 10 minute cooldown between ordering was unexpected. Our server was great and kept checking in with us. A few items we ordered never made it out to us, but at that point we were too full to care. My main complaint was with one of the hosts. We finished our meal and thanked our waiter and made our way back to the parking garage. From behind, we heard a very loud "EXCUSE ME." We originally thought we had dropped something and someone was looking out for us, but was appalled when she followed us halfway across the street and said "you think you're just going to leave without paying for your mocktail?" That was hands down the rudest I've been treated by a customer service based establishment. I've worked in hospitality and know you should never accuse a customer of anything. To make matters worse, she got the wrong people - we never ordered a mocktail. Will likely not return to Gyuzo for a while and stick to other bbq places with better service.

They also had king crab legs which I always love. I like some of their desserts as well, they put coconut sago which was a bit diluted. One of the more annoying aspects is when anyone had a birthday they would make a big loud celebration of it and it was really distracting. The meats are tasty when you cook them at the grill but again this is not my style of eating out when I go to eat out I want to relax and not have to cook There's plenty of parking in the street. No service issues. They also include lots of different drinks in the package. From a price standpoint I think it's okay overall I'm not in a rush to come back here
