First time customer. Fast and friendly service in this sushi restaurant located in the Muddy Branch shopping center. Value for the money is on par with most sushi locations in the area. Plenty of dining tables and nicely decorated. Felt like a few of our choices missed the mark. Wasn't impressed with the tuna or the vegetable noodles. The base of the soup was just not to my liking. The salmon was good. read more

Service was amazing ! Food was fairly priced and delicious . Lots of carry out orders but I suggest sitting down the staff are very friendly

Had wife get me a takeout plate of sashimi and rice. Old end of the night fish, fake crab and probably the worst sushi Ive had in Gaithersburg. read more

The restaurant is clean and staff are friendly. The food is good quality and big portions. The vegetable tempura bento box lunch special was tasty and a lot of food. I saved part of it for dinner. read more

Good lunch sushi deal. I have other spots that I prefer but this place is a good value and is close by. The fish is fresh.

First time trying this place and I wanted to try to find a new spot. This place wasn't bad but not my favorite. They packed their sushi which made the rolls huge. I ordered: Appetizer: A9: Spring Rolls Main: R15. Eel Cucumber Roll- this was good. Wished there were more eel sauce bc it was a little dry R30. Spicy Tuna Roll- could've been a little more spicy S21. Playboy Maki- no feedback here. Was good. S28. Tropical Monsoon - this wasn't my favorite. The mango and sushi didn't blend well with each other. S30. TNT Maki- no feedback here. Was good S29. Tiffany Maki- no feedback here. Was delish Free California Roll for spending over a certain amount I wouldn't mind ordering from them again and trying what else they have. Thanks Yiku :) read more

Good value for the price. Service was good. Excellent parking and very clean inside. Highly recommend.

One of my go to places for sushi in the Moco area! The sushi is always fresh and for the price, I'd say it's a pretty good deal! Also if you order over a certain $$ they will add on a freebie appetizer :) read more

The food is good but the ramen is not ramen, it's ramen noodles in udon soup. Do not order the ramen unless that is what you're looking for.

Excellent service and food. Appetizers: Large soft shell crab and shrimp tempura were spot on! Unagi don was also a good sized portion and tasty. Will return! read more

Yiku Sushi - Two spicy salmon and Shrimp Tempura So good ! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I've only ordered takeout/delivery with Yiku so far. My usual sushi spots tend to be on the pricier side. So it's nice to have an option where you can get good sushi and more bang for your buck! The rolls here are on the larger side. And the sashimi is THICK. They have great lunch sushi and sashimi specials. I like that their spicy rolls don't have the crunch inside (as a filler). The spicy rolls are mostly fish and light sauce. If you add crunch, it gets sprinkled on top! The avocado and sashimi are always fresh! Prices are super reasonable. Service is quick and very good. read more

The standards have really took a dip at Yiku. The quality was much better when I have been here in the past. I ordered the sashimi boat takeout recently and couldn't even finish it. The octopus tasted like it was frozen and then thawed out. The only piece I thought was up to standard was the salmon. All the other pieces were mediocre. Presentation was beautiful. Service was great and prompt but sadly will not be returning. read more

Always friendly and fresh, good sushi. They have a nice variety to choose from. The Metropolitan Roll though is a favorite.

Generous portions, competitive prices, ice cold sashimi, and tastes super fresh. Best part is the free stuff the owners throw in often. If you're feeling like sashimi, give this place a try! read more

Everything about the sushi is just right. Very fresh, generous rolls and sushimi; we have never been disappointed here. We've always done takeout, and the food is consistently ready on time and wrapped up really well. There's many choices for sushi in the area, but if you are in G'burg/North Potomac, try Yiku! read more

Yiku is a good casual sushi if you want a quick fix that has a little more than yoyogi. They don't have any extravagant rolls but they do have specialty rolls. I got the udon soup with a side of shrimp tempura and the tempura was soooo good. Our server was super attentive and the location was convenient. read more

***DO NOT ORDER WHITE TUNA*** My fiancé ordered the D7 White Tuna Set Entree. He said he was feeling off all morning. He stood up and oily diarrhea exploded so violently through the back of his shorts that it ended up staining our living room carpet. He had to use dish soap to clean his explosive oil diarrhea from his body and our carpet. I looked up what he ordered and this "white fish" is actually Escolar which is illegal in Japan and Italy for being so poisonous. This fish has undigestible wax esters that causes explosive oil diarrhea. It would have been nice if the restaurant provided a warning about the toxicity of the fish before all the oil stains on our carpet. I hope we can still get our deposit back on the apartment. Needless to say we will not be ordering from here again! read more

Yiku Sushi - ***POISONOUS WHITE TUNA WILL CAUSE EXPLOSIVE OIL DIARRHEA*** - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

This is absolutely my favorite sushi place in the area! I moved here a few months ago and was looking for a new staple sushi restaurant and luckily found Yiku Sushi. Currently, they are offering take-out and of the several times I've ordered, I have always been very happy with my meal. Their sashimi is very fresh and the cuts are generous. The special rolls are also quite delicious. The soft shelled crab tempura is personally one of my favorite appetizers and is great for sharing with one other person! They've recently set up their own website to order through, and these prices on the website are slightly cheaper. There are also a few bonus deals where you get a free appetizer if you spend over a certain amount. Yiku Sushi is truly a 10/10 restaurant and I will continue to support their business! read more

I love their sushi. This is my go-to backup when Yoyogi is closed. Their sushi is very flavorful and the sauce they add on top makes the sushi a lot more tastier. The shrimp tempura still has a good crunch even with the sauce and they add a good amount of tempura on each roll. All I wish was that this place wasn't so hidden and kept away from the main road. Prices are very reasonable and it's definitely worth going during it's lunch special $12 for 3 rolls (18 pieces). read more

Yiku Sushi - R29. Shrimp Tempura Roll, green R28. String Bean Tempura Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Unfortunately, it seems that I have to stray from the pack on this one. Everything that I got delivered from Yiku ranged from poor to exceedingly mediocre. I wish I could give them 3 stars... but I reserve 3 stars or higher for a place that I would return too and I just can not see myself returning to Yiku anytime in the near future. Gyoza seemed store bought and pre frozen... no strong brown bottom was achieved on the sear. The insides were muddled. The sauce was not flavorful. Takoyaki we're ok, but just ok. Miso soup flavor was muddled. I didn't finish it. California Rolls: Surimi inside lacked seasoning (mayo), the surimi they used was not too my liking. Overall, a bigger roll, but the flavor just paled in comparison to anyone of my favorite sushi places in the area (Sushi House, Yuraku, Maki Maki, Maki Bar ). Overall, I spent 30 dollars about on food, and ended up throwing a portion of it away and really forcing myself to eat the rest cause I was hungry. I'm very sorry, but I just would not recommend. read more

Omg the sushi here is soo sooo good and way more affordable than most other sushi places! The staff was super nice, the order was 100% correct and quickly done. I have never had such a good first impression Highly recommend! Also they gave me free spring rolls! They're the best ni also had a ton of modifications and they completed all of them! read more

small hole in the wall. I come her for their lunch specials . great quality of fish for their sushi, and they usually always have my order ready for pick up in 10 min read more

Best lunch special I've seen in a while--3 rolls for ~$10. Came here on a whim because the sushi place I originally tried go visit was closed. The lunch special menu included some more unique items like the mango + avocado Hawaii roll. No complaints--fish tasted decently fresh, sweet potato tempura was very crispy (and the sweet sauce on top was flavorful). The server brought out a ton of ginger when we asked, and I never had to flag down anyone for water. As soon as my glass was done, all I had to do was nudge it into view and someone would run over to refill. read more

Yiku sushi used to be my go to localsushi spot, but unfortunately I have noticed a decrease in quality. Sushi tasted very bland and felt like i was eating mostly rice. My rating is soley based on taste alone. -shrimp tempura roll: actual shrimp was very tiny, felt like I was eating mostly batter and rice. The batter did not taste seasoned and there was very little sauce so it was like just eating plain shrimp with white rice. -spicy salmon roll: did not taste like salmon AT ALL, more like flavorless fish. There was barely any of the sauce that makes it a spicy salmon roll and it tasted almost nothing. Same complaint about the rice. read more

My go to sushi spot that I've been ordering from for years. Awesome selection at decent prices. Everything is high quality and they recently reopened the inside of the restaurant which is great! Had the lunch special which was 3 rolls for $14!! Super great deal and as usual the rolls were fresh and service was great. read more

The reviews seemed good but when I got my food the first red flag was the spicy Mayo. Since when is spicy Mayo reddish clay color?! The wasabi looked like runny shamrock milkshakes from McDonald's. I got the basic California roll, shrimp tempura and salmon skin rolls. The only editable one was the shrimp tempura roll the rest I threw out. Super disappointing. read more

Yiku Sushi - Supposedly spicy Mayo? ‍ - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

For four people, you can get full with their Sushi/sashimi for a reasonable price! Our group ordered a sashimi boat (36 pieces of assorted sashimi) for $43 and a Sushi combo (6 nigiris and 6 piece California roll) for $14, so our total before tax was $57 (14.25 plus tax and tip per person for four of us), which we thought was reasonable for some decent quality sushi! We each had a good amount to eat and got full fast. This is also reasonable to eat if you want to eat more protein while being on a lower calorie diet. This was my third time here but it was my first time ordering the boat and it was quite satisfying! All in all, I don't mind coming here again. P.S. the service was great, and they gave us free mango pudding and guava candy! :D read more

Fresh sushi at an affordable price! Yiku serves up THICC slices of sashimi. The sashimi deluxe is 20 pieces for $30. Where else can you find a deal like this with FRESH fish? It's so good! We also had the tempura soft shell crab, and again, they do not skimp! They even gave a complimentary order of 6 california rolls (I think they give complimentary things like that when you order above a certain amount? Nice little bonus!) read more

Ordered several basic rolls for a quick dinner: shrimp tempura, spicy crunchy tuna, shrimp avocado, salmon avocado, and eel avocado. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasted great. They seem to have some creative special rolls on their menu, so will have to try them out. read more

Yiku is currently operating as a "takeout only" business. No dine-in option is available. The sushi is good quality, prices are reasonable and service is prompt. We usually order salmon avocado rolls, yellowtail scallion rolls and some appetizers (shumai, gyoza, tempura, etc.) Everything we have tried has been very good. read more

Very hit or miss with this restaurant in terms of sushi quality. If your looking for cheap eats that's passable, this place will work. Pros: great lunch specials and portion size. Miso soup is yummy, hard to get this wrong but some places do. Cons: sushi quality in general, especially the eel and spicy tuna which have a overly fishy taste. read more

This has become our go-to place for casual Japanese food. The food is reliably good. Sushi is well prepared, as are the kitchen entrees. But what I really like about Yiku Sushi is the service and the value. The staff is extremely friendly, occasionally throwing in extras to our takeout order. Portions are very generous - I can usually make two meals out of their entrees - and prices are extremely reasonable, especially compared to other sushi restaurants in the area. read more

Was in the search for a sushi place near my work. The food here was a big hit for my family. The beef teriyaki dinner was quite filling with lots of delicious beef, broccoli, rice, and either miso soup or salad. My nieces enjoyed it as much as I did. I ordered an shrimp tempura (not with any veggies) and was perfectly fried and quite large. Asked for 8 pieces and was gone pretty fast :) The avocado and California rolls were fresh and quite large compare to other places. The chirasi sushi plate was quite large too and my wife enjoyed it very much. They offer party platters at very reasonable rates too, so i think I may order this for my next potluck dinner party :) Friendly service and will be back! read more

This place is a great new sushi spot! Fresh sushi, good customer service, and clean. We ordered a few different things and we're very pleased with almost all of it. Ordered the sashimi appetizer, seaweed salad, chirashi, shrimp tempura udon noodles, and a few maki rolls. The sashimi appetizer and chirashi were amazing. I could definitely come here for lunch, order a chirashi and be happy. The sashimi was fresh and delicious. The Udon noodle soup had a perfectly flavored broth, just yum! The maki rolls that we ordered were the Mount Fuji roll, OMG maki, red dragon and green dragon. They were all great but the OMG maki and Mount Fuji maki were a little heavy. They both had the creamier mayo flavor and once I ate one of each, I was stuffed. They were just too heavy for sushi. Customer service was good but not great. What do you expect when you have one woman running around during Sunday dinner by herself serving, picking up the phone and trying to take everyone their food the second it's ready? She was nice and I appreciated her trying to be so on top of everything. But they need another waiter/waitress. Maybe it's because they just opened recently. I'll definitely be a returning customer. Let's just hope the sushi/sashimi stays fresh! read more
