Japan Express - BLACK WIDOW - Japanese Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

I have been here multiple occasions. Food is a 2 out of 5. The fact is the inside is always 87 degrees and the fountain machine is "broke" so you have to buy bottled water. Terrible. Nothing is worse than these shops making you buy water because they hate the idea of you getting free tap read more

Usually good...But I got food poisoning last night after I ate here. Threw up for a few hours.... Yuck!

First time trying this place and it was pretty okay, nothing special nothing exciting. I ordered the crab roll and I think what was missing was some sauce. Maybe yum yum sauce could've made it A LOT better. But other than that it was okay. read more

Japan Express - 8 Piece Crab Roll - Japanese Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

Ok, if you are hardcore foodie, this may not be the place for you. But considering we're talking about Clinton, MD here, I think Japan Express hits the spot! There isn't even an OPTION for sushi/japanese food for miles. Now, I actually don't like sushi, so I've only tried their hibachi meals and other items on the menu. From the outside, it looks like your typically corner chinese food place, but it's better than that. I had the seaweed salad, which is my measuring stick for any japanese restaurant. I loved it, just as good as most others I've tried. I tried the teryaki chicken roll, I really enjoyed that. It's their teryaki chicken, rolled in rice and seaweed. Thumbs up! I had the teryaki chicken with fried rice and veggies. It's not as good as real live hibachi restaurant, food cooked in front of you, but it was yummy. The rice was well cooked and flavorful, the chicken was sauced up nicely. Wish there were more veggies, but how many ppl like veggies as much as I do?? ;-) read more

Decent establishment. Neat, orderly, fresh food, hot and served fairly quick.. (Nothing beats calling in your order ahead.) It's our go to spot for sushi. Service isn't warm or friendly, but that doesn't make it rude or unnerving. We love the crunchy shrimp and crazy rolls. There are tables for you to sit and dine in, but most people use the tables to wait for their orders. read more

Thanks so much Yelpers! Your reviews helped me find this gem. I've finally found a decent sushi place in this neck of the woods without having to go to Virginia and DC. They are good, clean, and friendly. Their sushi and sashimi are on point fresh and tasty. read more

Nice quick sit down spot for some sushi and Asian cuisines. My kids and I recommend the Hawaii Roll / Black Dragon Roll for those wanting to try something new. Fresh white tuna was excellent sashimi... read more

A good spot to grab lunch or dinner. Casual decor, plenty of seating available, take out or dine in. Great service, everything is clean, the food was ready very quickly. Will be back! read more

There isn't a lot of selection in the area for Japanese cuisine and for a quick sit down or takeout meal, it isn't bad but as for the sushi I definitely would not come back again. I had the spider roll which was completely coated in what I believe is a spicy mayo sauce and the imitation crab meat did not go well with the soft shell crab and the soft shell crab had no seasoning. I also had the spicy tuna, it was definitely not fresh and didn't taste like tuna. Imitation tuna? The seaweed salad was the only thing that I ate all of only because the rest of the sushi items left a lot to be desired. I would come back to try the chicken teriyaki since the other reviews speak highly of that. read more

The Friendly, Fort Washington, Clinton area does not have multiple sushi options for people attempting to stick within a budget. Locals either go into National Harbor, D.C., or make the drive up North. Well, until I discovered this little hole in the wall through Yelp's Current Location option! From the outside, Japan Express appears to be a carry out hibachi set up but they offer quite a decent sushi selection! California, Shrimp Tempura, Rainbow, and even a Clinton roll are all available for guests to enjoy. A California roll for $4.29 or a Rainbow roll for $8.95 are great options if you are craving sushi but don't want to break the bank. Since the establishment serves carry out guests more often than dine in guests, the interior leaves room for improvement. Booths and tables are available but are not consistently cleaned allowing some sticky spots to remain on the tables and floors throughout the day. Orders are completed at a counter and guests are to collect their meals at the counter upon completion; do not expect dine in, sit down, waited service because it is not that type of restaurant. Alcohol choices such as wine and/or beer are also not available but guests can select bottled beverages or a fountain drink option to accompany the meal. While this may not be your spot to show off for guests or date night, Japan Express is an excellent way to eat what you crave without significantly impacting your bank account. read more

This Japanese restaurant has a great selection of healthy foods. I had the chicken teriyaki and it was delicious. It comes with plenty of cabbage, broccoli, fried rice/steamed rice and chicken or beef. The rice isn't dry and the chicken has just the right amount of sauce. read more

First time coming here , it was good and I will go again but I won't buy sushi again from this location, I just didn't like the way they put it in a small container and you get more from other places . read more

Japan Express - I guess to save money, pack all the sushi in the small container shrimp tempura - Japanese Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

They are friendly, respectful to the customers and really show they value our business. I am so glad I stopped in for my seaweed salad, salmon teriyaki and fried dumplings today. read more

Disgusting and a waste of money. The salmon was bland and didn't have sauce. The fried fried rice just tasted like soy sauce and didn't have flavor. The cabbage was also bland. I'd just try somewhere else for actual Japanese food. read more

Finally! A decent place for reasonably priced and good sushi in southern PG County. I've been waiting for this place and I'm not disappointed. My usual favorite order is the spicy shrimp roll with brown rice. VERY good indeed and I'm a regular sushi eater. Now that it's open, I go by there at least once weekly. read more

Surprisingly delicious and always consistent. I have been coming here since they first opened. The cashier is always competent and friendly. They work with me when I want to do substitutions. They could wipe down some of the tables more often but other than that I have no complaints. I always get an order of the fried dumplings and there bento boxes are of nice proportion and they offer BROWN RICE. Yay! They have a nice selection of bottled drinks as well....not a fan of the obbession with Rock Creek Sodas and bowls of teas at the carry outs. read more

I kind of wish on their menu they would give a better description of what's in the rolls. But other than that I would give this place 5 stars. I love the food and the prices are decent. Best to call in your order so you can just grab and go because when they do get busy who knows how long it will take them to fix the food. I know on average getting a handmade roll takes at least 5-10 minutes per person. read more

They gave out coupons in the little coupon mailer and I got steak and shrimp with noodles and veggies my son got the same and a salmon tempura roll or something like that was a cooked salmon roll. Good portion, fresh not overly greasy or salty. Very reasonable even without coupon. read more

There are no sushi places in southern pg county, you have to go into DC to get anything decent but this place is really good! the sushi is affordable and well prepared. I come here every time im in Clinton for a few rolls :) read more

nice little place for some japanese food, not a lot of options if you don't go to DC

Customer service should be a concern since it WILL keep your customers coming back...yeah...no....never will I spend one dime in there...lady so busy "arguing with maybe 4 year old", that I stood for maybe 6 minutes waiting to ask simple question....NO....Totally unacceptable read more

Miscommunication. I wanted noodles but he gave me vegetables. So I have to adjust my order by adding sushi avocado so I can get something satisfying. read more

Fresh, fast, and delicious! I stumbled by accident and I'm glad. Bento box are made to order and you can see it happening in front of your face. Portion to price is good and you get a nice variety of things in the bento box. I know if I'm in the area again I would stop by this place for sure. read more

Pretty decent on the habachi style of the Japanese food my adventures here have become a re-occuring thing when I come to this part of town. What you can expect here is the following FAST FOOD decent sushi and 5 dollar terriyaki chicken boxes before 4 alltho my only complaint is the woman in short hair got my order wrong so I told her and so insted of apologiesing she decided to laugh and yell back to her co-workers that I was a baka baka which if ur not familer with means idiot other than that good eating read more

Awesome food and fast service! I will be back for lunch again and again. I suggest the chicken teriyaki sushi!

The sushi is off the chain. Im a montgomery county girl and i must say i was truly surprised n impressed with the sushi.

The minute I walked in the older lady gave me complete attitude and snarky remarks when I asked for my food. Eventually she passed me my bag with my sushi in it and went to the back of the kitchen, I went up to the counter to ask for sauce one of her employees told her I was at the register and she rolled her eyes right at me and said "what?". That type of behavior is inexcusable and she needs to be talked to read more

My favorite sushi place in Clinton. Service is always fast & food is always delicious. If I could give more stars I would. The employees here, generally speaking, deal with a lot of rude customers given the area of the business location. Keep up the great work! "Fried Rice or White Rice" lol. read more

This Sushi is Delicious and the cost is awesome when you compare it to those overprices Sushi Places like Grace's in Bowie and National Harbor. The Sushi taste just as good if not better. Not a fancy place but take your sushi to go and sit at home with some Saki or Wine and chill. There other food looks good its always crowded but this is my go to Sushi local spot in Clinton MD Yes! read more

Excellent value, tofu bento and teriyaki with mounds of rice. The service was a bit slow but the food was fresh

Fast, good prices customer service was good but I refuse to give places where I spend money good reviews because of the service when the food is bland... first and last time here the rice? SUPER dry and tasteless the salmon tasteless the salad was exceptional while they claim to be a Japanese teriyaki spot the probably gave me a teaspoon of teriyaki sauce read more

It was a Saturday, I had a taste for shrimp fried rice. I thought of the places in the area and figured I would make my own at home. However, to my surprise a new restaurant, Japan Express. I walked in to an empty place, but very nice and clean appearance. The staff waiting to take my order. I had high hopes. I browsed the menu but no shrimp fried rice, but shrimp teriyaki. I decided I would try the spicy shrimp sushi roll. I was excited,it was made FRESH on the spot. It may have been made fresh on the spot but the sushi tasted as the ingredients were rotten. I could not get through the bite. I wanted to take it back and ask for a refund. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! read more

I been to a handful of sushi restaurants in the Chinatown Washington DC area and must I say, Japanese Express sushi is amazing. The taste is sooo fresh. I recommend everyone who are sushi lovers to please go by and try them out you will leave amazed. I never knew Clinton had a sushi restaurant near by, I always traveled to Waldorf mall to get sushi. But this restaurant is now my new restaurant for sushi. AMAZING JOB GUYS read more

This Japanese restaurant food is off the hook everytime I come here. I would recommend anyone that love fresh stir fry dishes that melts right in your mouth. You will never be disappointed I haven't been yet food is very full filling and will keep you on the edge of your seat as you eat there dishes. read more

Yes, a great sushi chef in Clinton, MD! We ordered take out for a reasonable price. It was packaged for a safe trip home, eat from carrier or place on a separate plate, yummy. read more

I happened to be in the Clinton, MD area when I saw this carryout/eat in. However, I stopped in to order a couple of salmon rolls. When I put in the order she said you know it is "raw" and I said yes it is. I told the person that I wanted to have a little wasabi put "inside" the roll. She emphatically said "NO." I asked why not and she said because wasabi is very spicy and we don't make it that way. I guess she was eating it and not me! I said, Yes and that is why I am asking you to put the wasabi in the roll. She proceeded to rant and rave about how no one makes sushi rolls like that. At that point I should have walked out, but she called to the sushi chef and started talking in whatever language. Then she said "this chef will make for you, but no one else will. I was hungry and had my mouth set for sushi so I said fine, since I won't be coming back and I could see him making the roll. I should have went with my instinct and walked out. If I had known that they make salmon rolls with rice on the outside with sesame seeds I would have said to forget it. But after all that ruckus in ordering I wanted to see how good the sushi was here. The chef proceeded to call me over to see if he had put enough wasabi on the "seaweed" and I said that's fine. I took it over my brother's house to eat it and the salmon was cut too chunky to stay in the roll and after eating a couple of pieces I threw it away because the salmon was definitely not fresh. I will never taste anything else from THIS Japan Express because of the "customer service" of this rude cashier. Japan Express in Clinton is not really a sushi bar, it is very limited in choice of raw fish. If you are a lover of sushi and "know" how good sushi tastes, in my opinion, Japan Express is definitely not the place to eat sushi. read more
