Tasty, delicious, creative rolls! Feels so homey in here, thanks to their owner who is this nice pleasant old lady that greets everyone who comes in! Big menu with plenty of rolls and other options. Highly recommend the smokey roll, under the sea, he said she said, and deep fantasy. Highly recommended! read more

First time at Sushi King and it was pleasant surprise. It's located in a shopping area oddly Dobbin Rd, a few doors down from the express MVA. Went for lunch with a friend. Upon arrival, we were greeted by staff and quickly seated. It's a bit dark in there when you initially enter. Spacious with lots of seating. Our server was friendly, gave us time to review the menu and checked in on us frequently. Other staff members also checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. We started out with the gyoza, edamame and miso soup all of which were tasty and flavorful. We shared the happy together roll and warm to the heart roll. Both of which were fresh and spectacular. I really enjoyed the happy together roll, there a lot of flavors but that's how I like my sushi, packed with flavor. Ended the meal with a lava cake and green tea ice cream. The cake was moist and the green tea ice cream was creamy. Loved my meal and looking forward to returning with my family. read more

I really enjoyed my lunch here! I ordered two rolls--the Warm the Heart Roll and a Yellowtail Roll. Everything was made fresh and tasted delicious. The quality and freshness really stood out. The rolls are a little on the pricey side, though. My two rolls came to about $30. That said, I really enjoyed the experience of sitting at the sushi bar and watching everything being prepared. Overall, it was a nice lunch and a pleasant dining experience. read more

Out of all the sushi places we've tried in the area, this definitely was one friendliest ones. I don't usually pay attention to the service unless it was bad but I appreciate how kind the staff was and they made us feel super welcome. As for the sushi, I can't remember everything we ordered but I enjoyed the one we had with the scallop the most ( I think this was the under the sea one?) Overall it's a cute neighborhood sushi spot and I'm glad our friends introduced us to it. Would check it out again! read more

My go-to sushi place in columbia! Food: 5/5 I cannot rave more about the freshness of the sushi here. I am a lover of tuna and regardless of the roll I order, specialty or regular tuna, they are all delicious. Even the spicy tuna rolls, which can just taste mushy and like filler at other places, is pleasantly filled with tuna. Highly recommend the samurai roll (bottom roll in my photo). Service: 5/5 always quick and kind service, and the owners visit the tables to make sure everything is going well. Ambiance: quiet restaurant with the ability to seat parties of 2 to 8 people. read more

Sushi King - Samurai Roll, Nuta Roll, Snow White Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

This is a hidden gem out here in Columbia. This is tucked away in a smaller strip, so you'll only find it if you search for it. My family and I came in for dinner to celebrate a birthday. Upon arrival, I was shocked to see how packed it was, but that was telling of how good their food is. There were a lot of birthdays being celebrated that evening, and it was a Wednesday. They had a private room available, but there is a food minimum and you have to take your shoes off (floor table set up). Though we were offered the option, we decided to just sit in the main area since we were coming with a few older family members and didn't want them to struggle to put shoes back on later and they prefer sitting in chairs. They have sushi, teriyaki, platters and combination dishes. We all had something different, ordering from the combination options, teriyaki and some sushi on the side. Since we all ordered a special, it came with miso soup and salad. The food was brought out in a staggered manner - three out of the five of us got our food before the others, and they almost finished half of their dish before ours even came out. I had the beef teriyaki and I was shocked to see that it was a large piece of beef, and we were given knives to cut it up. I am used to the meats being already cut up, so this was different. The food was still good though! I will say that I wish there were more broccoli, than bean sprouts accompanying the meat - the dish was still delicious though! The chunk of meat was so large that I actually had leftovers to bring home as a second meal. The sushi was impressive. Not only was the selection so large and I wanted to order every single one of the special rolls (but I didn't because my eyes tend to be bigger than my stomach), they use all fresh ingredients. The shumai was unimpressive, but because everything else was good, I didn't really mind it. I feel like my rice bowl was not full, as most restaurants pack the rice into the bowl; whereas I felt like there were air pockets in mine so there was a little less. To my surprise, they had a decent dessert menu: several ice cream options, variety of mochi and a few cake selections. Because they knew we were celebrating a birthday, they surprised us with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with different cookies to share! It came out with a sparkler, and the employees singing along to a soundtrack played on the speakers. This really made my sister feel so special, and as I said before, it seemed like most of the larger parties there were also celebrating a birthday that evening. Delicious food, friendly service, easy parking and fun atmosphere! read more

Sushi King - Beef Teriyaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Sushi King has been around for a few decades. I've been coming here for more than 20 years, and this lovely place hasn't changed a bit. The owner and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Their sushi is the best in Howard County, everything is freshly made with the highest-quality ingredients. I've never had a disappointing meal here. If you're looking for cozy dining that feels like visiting a friend's home for a meal, this is the place. read more

Sushi King really impressed us with its sushi quality--it's easily one of the better sushi spots in Howard County. While it's on the slightly pricier side, you definitely get what you pay for. The fish was fresh, beautifully presented, and flavorful, and the sushi boat we ordered was both visually stunning and totally worth it in terms of taste and variety. If you're a sushi lover looking for quality without going full fine dining like Takumi (which is nearly double the price), Sushi King hits the sweet spot. The service was top-notch, with friendly, attentive staff who made us feel welcome from the start. It's also surprisingly kid-friendly, which can be hard to find at sushi restaurants. The atmosphere was casual yet polished--perfect for a family dinner or a nice night out. We'll definitely be back for another round of rolls (and maybe another sushi boat)! read more

Sushi King - Sushi Bars Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

So for my first review of March 2025! I will have to come back again when I'm in the area to give them the full monty...but for starters and a 4 stars they are doing really well in my book. Now I am a sushi connoisseur (I tell myself anyways) and love to try sushi in many different types of atmospheres. I've been to many places and how I test if I would come back is I like to order a reasonable easy common roll. So if they get that roll wrong I know it's not up to snuff... So to start the restaurants is in a typical strip mall building that you would miss if you wasn't paying attention. Now I was coming here hungry then a mug so I'm so glad I gave them a chance. Don't judge a book for its cover right? When I walked in I was greeted quickly and decided since I was dining by myself I would sit at the bar so I can take in the entire restaurant. He gave me a menu and asked for my drink order. I just got water with lemon to start while I browsed over the menu. My server at first kind of rubbed me the wrong way because after I made my order she took the menu so quickly from me I didn't have time to even take a picture of it. I ordered my usual sushi rolls when I'm eating the first time at a sushi place...salmon and scallion add cream cheese, yellowtail and scallion add cream cheese, and decided to upgrade to tuna belly. My sushi came out quickly and was so good! I also ordered a Mai tai and a Riesling and I tell you both drinks were on point! If I'm in Columbia again I will definitely come back! Sushi was fresh and drinks on point! Go give them a try! read more

I loved my dinner at Sushi King! We were greeted within 5 minutes of sitting down. We ordered some classics (shrimp tempura, cucumber, and spider roll) and special (Samaria roll). They were all good and tasted TOP QUALITY/FRESH! I love the ambiance, it's definitely a Mom and Pop shop and felt so warm/welcoming. The waitresses came around multiple times to ask us if we were okay. They seem to have a lot of regulars - so that's a very good sign. We also indulged in the fried banana with sesame ice cream. It's the perfect ending to the meal. Also - I freaking love these napkins. Yall had to get a glimpse of the set up. It doesn't close till 10pm, which is nice considering other local restaurants close earlier. I would definitely revisit again and recommend for you bring someone in try! read more

I LOVE Sushi King! The owners are always there and treats all of us like family. I don't know if the mom of the owner works there but sometimes she'll come sit with us and we'll just talk and catch up haha. We always get such a warm and great greeting upon arrival. They seem so genuinely happy to see us. The ambiance of the facility is amazing chill and relaxed and they have a special Japanese room you can eat in but you have to order at least $150 worth of food. It's especially nice for a special occasion. I always order the Baltimore, Holiday, Snow White, and dynamite roll with UME wine. I highly recommend this sushi spot! I love sushi king so much! read more

This is a favorite restaurant with great sushi and other dishes, plus really friendly service--food is consistently good over many visits

First of all, they didn't give me the receipt when we asked for the check, and then the lady told me that I had saved an "extra 40 dollars". I did the math real quick in my head and it was not right. So I stayed and didn't go anywhere till they had printed me a real receipt. So I was right!! They tried to charge me extra. And 5 days later, I was auditing my credit card statement. They have charged me another UNAUTHORIZED fee, which is an extra 5 dollars on tips. This is an horrible and unethical way to do business. And hence, I have black-listed this restaurant forever. Please go somewhere else. It was a celebration of my daughter's graduation. And they just ruined it. read more

Delicious, authentic Japanese food! The rolls, sushi, and sashimi are consistently fresh and high quality, and everything else on the menu is just as amazing.

The wait was longer than expected but thats the only negative and the food was worth the wait. The hostess was very kind and attentive as I waited on my carryout order. She offered me water and checked in on me in between seating guests. Now to the food part-It was fantastic. I ordered the Tango roll and was extremely surprised that I could simultaneously taste every single ingredient and a harmonious blend. It was absolutely delicious. I also had a basic sweet potatoe roll and even in its simplicity it was pretty good. I cant wait to try the other selections featured on their impressive menu. read more

Solid and reliable Japanese restaurant with reasonable prices. Service was very polite and efficient. We shared a roll combination entree (tekka, Alaskan and California rolls) and a vegetarian sushi plate. Both came with salad, which was very fresh with a ginger miso dressing. The sushi rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The tekka (tuna) and salmon (in the Alaskan roll) was also fresh. The vegetarian sushi had the usual kanpyo, cucumber and avocado selections, but also had inari (tofu skin), seaweed and avocado. Appreciated that it has vegetarian sushi with varied flavors and vegetable items (not all Japanese restaurants offer it). read more

Went climbing at Movement Columbia and came here for dinner with friends afterwards at the recommendation of a friend who has been coming for years. Very nice staff and a cute little restaurant. The menu is huge and the number of rolls they have is kind of overwhelming - you also need to read a couple of sheets of paper at the same time to order and understand what each roll is. I was too lazy to figure out what to order from the huge list of rolls and just got the deluxe sushi moriawase, which is 9 pieces of chef's choice nigiri and a tuna roll, with house salad (zangy dressing), and miso soup. Enjoyed the food and will come back. read more

We were out of town and had no idea where to go for sushi. We found Sushi King (SK) on Yelp, read the glowing reviews, and decided to go. I trust Yelp but remain skeptical when I read a lot of glowing reviews. The ambiance is amazing! Eating at SK is an experience. The hostess is wonderful. She keeps everyone posted about who's next to be seated and even EXPLAINS WHY even if she doesn't have to. (I complimented her on her communication.) There must have been 3-4 birthday parties. The food was amazing! I'm a big eater so I always want more but the taste more than made up for this situation. When we're out in the area, we'll definitely go to SK again. read more

I'm not sure if I'm happy or disappointed that Sushi King is pretty far from my house. This place is great! We dined in though they appear to do a TON of carryout. Our group of three did primarily rolls. Their eclectic collection of rolls is worth the trip for sure and the execution of those rolls is top notch. My son had the sushi deluxe which looked similar to most restaurants' versions of that dish. He said it was good. I had the Deep Sea Fantasy Roll and the Dancing Dragon Roll and they were both amazing. The table also ordered the Spicy King Crab Roll which was also totally excellent. The Holiday Roll was so good that we ended up ordering a second one! The décor and welcoming staff combined with the great food make this a "must visit" if you're in the area and searching for yummo sushi. read more

One of the best Sushi places in Columbia and for a reasonable price. It's located in a little shopping center by a office park. It's easy to miss if you don't know what you are looking for. My daughter wanted some sushi on a Thursday night so we decided to stop in. It wasn't super crowded so after being greeted by a friendly hostess we were seated and a waitress took our drink order. I opted for an Sapporo that came in a chilled glass and my daughter had a sprite. I ordered the new spicy tuna roll and a Baltimore roll. My daughter got a California Roll and a side of plain steamed rice. Over all a good time and it was only 20 dollars per person so a reasonable price. All the rolls were delicious and looked great as well. Call me a fan read more

I have had this theory that sushi quality reaches a plateau -- once you skip over the gas stations and the grocery stores (blergh), it starts becoming really hard to find anything that's really any different. You start finding overpriced places that are the same as the reasonable price down the road, right? Thanks, Sushi King, for ruining my theory. Sushi King manages to have incredibly great food, incredible variety, and reasonable prices, making it among my new favourite restaurants. And while I often order sushi for delivery or to go, Sushi King is just utterly adorable inside, with friendly, fast, good service. The restaurant is just beautiful inside, with lots of great little decorative features -- including those little Japanese tables that were a feature of sushi restaurants when sushi restaurants were new, and vanished as they became Americanized. The rolls are creative without being pretentious or just weird, and there is a great variety of fish beyond the typical. Definitely going to be popping in here now and again for lunch, or dinner, or second lunch, or maybe supper, or just 7-PM snack. read more

Excellent sushi spot! My fiance and I came for dinner on a Saturday night. We did not have a reservation, but we were seated right away. As soon as we were seated, the server offered us hot tea which was delicious. The menu is pretty sizable, including a separate menu for specialty rolls. If you order sushi rolls, sashimi, or nigri a la carte, there is a paper slip you fill out with the quantity of the sushi you want. For my entree, I ordered the sushi moriawase which came with 8 pieces of nigri and a tuna roll, and all sushi entrees come with miso and salad. The sushi was fresh and well prepared, the miso was nicely balanced, and I love the salad dressing that comes with house salads at Japanese restaurants. In addition to our sushi entrees, we ordered two specialty roles to share, the sashimi roll and the treasure roll. These came out after the sushi entrees so I was already full when they arrived. It may have been better if they came earlier, or honestly I should have ordered just 1 to share. I could only have a piece of each at the time (the rest made for an awesome snack the next day) but they were really tasty, although the treasure roll had a little too much mayonnaise in the sauce for my personal taste. I was way to stuffed for dessert but they have ice cream and mochi, which I'll definitely save room for next time! read more

Fresh sushi, great service. Salmon and Yellow Tail were particularly delicious. Sushi King never disappoints.

I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants all over the country, including some of the most famous places in New York, Philadelphia and Seattle. But Sushi King has been my favorite for many, many years. The wait staff are super friendly, as are the sushi chefs. We're always greeted when we arrive and when we leave. We love sitting at the sushi bar because we enjoy watching the sushi being prepared. They have a great selection of fish and shellfish, and the rolls are outstanding. Everything always is so fresh. Standouts are the sea urchin, tuna belly, giant clam and scallop. If you want something other than sushi, the Yellowtail chin is exceptional. We go to Sushi King as ofter as we can. read more

The food and service were wonderful. My sons said they really liked the eel, the ambiance was also good.

We were excited to try a new sushi place near us and were excited to see such positive reviews. Immediately upon walking in, we were hit with an intense smell of fish mixed with cleaner. This should have been our hit to just walk back out. We each got a cup of miso soup and shared edamame. There was just a layer of salt on each spoonful of the soup, it was nearly inedible. Some of that salt could have been used on the edamame, they were so plain. We got the california roll, rainbow roll, spicy tuna, and the holiday roll. The sight of the tuna roll really just grossed me out, but I decided to try it anyway and it was really mushy and not enjoyable. The California roll was overwhelmed by rice and had zero flavor. The white fish on the rainbow roll looked questionable. I didn't get a photo of it. The holiday roll was okay, but I think the amount of sauce on top helped. We definitely will not be back and will continue looking for a nearby sushi spot. Perhaps it was an off night, but we cannot bring ourselves to go back. read more

Sushi King had always been our go to for sushi for decades. Then my kids got older and it was try this place or that place... ugh. In honor of my birthday I insisted on a quiet dinner for just my husband and I. I will NEVER eat at another sushi restaurant as long as I live! It has its stellar reputation for a reason! Every small thing was perfection! I've never had better and gratefully since it's here in my town I can enjoy it whenever I want. The prices are more than comparable but the servings are bigger, fresher and heavenly! Their chirashi sushi was $6 LESS than other places but 3 times the serving size and epic sushi rice!! Thank you Jane, Simon and their wonderful staff for a wonderful experience! read more
