Love having this restaurant right behind our home. So easy to get to and food is good for a neighborhood restaurant. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. The service is really quick. They have huge menu to choose, from Japanese fish to Thai! If you need a quick bite without driving too far this place is good! read more

First review but not our first time at Katana. Always upon arrival to Katana you can expect to be warmly greeted and promptly seated. Staff members have even remembered us as our little family has grown and ask about our little one. The setting is simple aside from their signature Katana mid restaurant that reminds you of the name. Every time we have come in or ordered out the food has been delicious. This week we came midday and tried their happy hour specials along with a few sushi rolls. The chicken wrap was delicious - ground chicken with veggies and some crunchy noodles beneath paired with lettuce on the side. My husband really enjoyed the red roof roll I believe and had another I unfortunately didn't remember to get the name from him as. It's definitely a stop on our rotation read more

Ever since we stepped foot in Katana it feels like we've never left. I think we eat here twice a week now, thanks to the excellent menu, which offers pan Asian cuisine. The only thing that tops the food is Nancy, the restauranteur whose hospitality is unmatched, she goes out of her way to make sure she gets to know each customer when she's not running back and forth between phone, and balancing the business. She is genuinely in her concern and care and that makes this our new favorite. So far my family and I have had sunrise roll, eel/ avocado hand rolls, Shumai, butterfly roll, general tso's and spicy tuna/salmon--all delicious. You have fast become our go to spot, rightfully so. Thanks Nancy, see u soon!!!! read more

Great for takeout and sit in. They have fun speciality rolls with a good share of raw fish which I love. For a part of 2, would recommend the sushi for 2. As you can see in the photo, it is a good array of nigiri, a spicy tuna roll, and then a specialty roll selected by the chef. read more

Love this place. So fresh. Service and Staff are amazing. My go to Sushi place. Definitely would recommend

This place is amazing, the fish is so fresh, the staff are the kindest most welcoming loving people ever. I love how peaceful it is in there as well, there can be 20 or more people and it's still calm. I highly recommend this place if you are wanting to try an affordable and delicious restaurant. I also found them very accommodating when I told them I had celiac, bringing me gluten free soy sauce and making sure there was no cross contamination ,and did not get sick. read more

The short: Katana Sushi has okay food with a giant menu ranging from sushi and other Japanese dishes to a few Thai dishes as well. I find it to be a bit of a "Jack of all Trades" situation where although they offer a lot of options, it's not really done all too impressively. Katana feels more like a takeout location than a dine-in option, but if you do decide to eat here, they have a decent-sized location with ample seating. If you were looking for a romantic/classy vibe for a get-together or a date, I think there are better options out there for sushi/Asian. The service was okay and our waitress was nice and accommodating. That being said, if you're looking for a quick bite or a to-go order, it hits the spot. The food isn't bad, it just kinda feels rushed together and the ingredients don't feel like the best quality. The dishes had decent flavor, but it left me expecting a bit more considering the prices still reflected a premium quality. All in all, it's a decent spot. It's not my first choice in the area when it comes to Asian cuisine (Sushi Q, Sushi Sono, Sushi King come to mind), but it's convenient and quick. read more

Excellent take out and an okay place to eat at. I've enjoyed lots of take out from Katana. I love their miso, the sushi, chicken and shrimp teriyaki, bento boxes, and panang curry. The prices are a little steep but the serving sizes are big. I was not impressed with the ambiance though. Everything was sticky and I was expecting things to be a little nicer with those prices. We were the only people in the place. Our waitress was nice though and the food came out very quickly. read more

Overall decent. Prices are reasonable, sushi has a good ratio of fish to rice, and the edamame is amazing. My biggest knock is that the spicy tuna roll with crunch I ordered was neither crunchy nor spicy. The plus is that we were able to get delivery when there weren't a ton of other options, and will likely order again in the future. It won't become my go to for sushi, but it can stay in the rotation. read more

Katana Sushi - F18. Spicy Tuna with Crunch - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

My kids & I love this establishment. The owners are extremely professional and very courteous. They actually know us by our first names and love to strike up a good conversation. Some of our favorites: -Mango Martini -House lo mein (spicy) -Teriyaki steak served with veggies, potatoes and rice -Pan fried gyoza (dumplings) -Wonton soup ( made with real chicken breast) -Fried rice -chicken noodle soup This is more like a Asian fusion restaurant as they serve Thai, Chinese and Japanese cuisine. read more

Fantastic rolls! Quick service! Ok pricing. Eighty five characters later were able to post this review

The restaurant is clean and modern, while maintaining a very cozy and home-like environment, where polite, friendly and sincere staff promptly seat you. I cannot overstate the warmth of the Hostess, who treated us like family after our second visit. The prices are average for a Sushi restaurant, however the quality and freshness of the fish is well above average. The Red Snapper was moist, soft and had a bright, mildly briny and buttery flavor. The Koto Roll had a brilliant blend of textures and flavors, and though some of the flavors got lost, the overall taste was so pleasant that it more than made up for it! The kitchen staff works quickly, and meals are always served fresh. They are a hidden gem, and you owe yourself a visit here. read more

my favorite sushi spot in Maryland. i've never had anything else off the menu. love the sushi here; it's always delicious!

Been here a few times and the food is quite good. The decor is fresh and modern looking. I will be going back.

WHAT HAPPENED!? This review will be completely based on take out. It is not a reflection of dining-in which, as I rated last time, was good. That being said, I am never ordering takeout from here again if for no other reason than price. Dear Lord there was an upcharge for EVERYTHING. $2 for a little cup of spicy mayo, same for a little thing of eel sauce. (Did not see those up charges on a dining in bill) The general tso's my wife got had a paltry portion of rice and 6 nuggets of chicken and the meal cost over $15. Side bar here - I am noticing this as a TREND with restaurants for takeout. They are really cutting back the portion size of rice that comes with proteins and it's frustrating because, at cost to the restaurant, rice is one of the cheapest things. You might as well just get a protein tell them to discount the meal and make your own. A mistake that worked in our favor is they gave us a California roll none of us ordered but that also speaks to the fact they might have had someone new working there and hoping this isn't a sign of an epic down turn for this business because they do have awesome choices for sushi rolls. Generally, it is better quality than some of the cheaper places around so you don't feel instantly bloated after eating rolls. We didn't order a lot but our bill was still pretty expensive. Sorry but for takeout, this place is crossed off the list. read more

This is by far my favorite sushi spot in the area! The staff is always super sweet and the food always tastes fresh. My favorites here are the Cashew Chicken and Phoenix Maki roll. read more

Was back in my old neighborhood and had to come to Katana. Hadn't been in a while and brought the kids this time. The staff is so welcoming and were so nice to my kids. We got crab rangoons (mostly for my kids but I had one too and it was delicious!), my husband got orange chicken and shared with my kids. They all loved it. The quality of food is just so good. I dream about their sushi so I was so excited to get the rack city roll and salmon avocado roll. I have not find any sushi as good as Katana's where I moved and I've missed this place! Just so good! read more

I'm leaving my original 4 star review from a few weeks ago below--because those are my real thoughts about my first visit. Unfortunately, this visit was not the case. I've written nearly 200 reviews, never ever found anything in my food that shouldn't be there. I worked in a restaurant for six years and would never ever be the type of person to lie for free things. I preface this because I was not intially believed when I let them know I found a rubber band inside of my spring roll. Look accidents totally happen! I get that, but on the phone the girl kept reinforcing that they "do not have rubber bands so not sure how that could've gotten in there". This is my most local sushi spot & as you can tell below, it is very good! But this response was disappointing. Upon arrival they were then very apologetic and kind and I assured them it was okay things do happen and they gave an extra spring roll. But my cooked sushi at home is now just sitting while I ran back. For this reason, I'll probably never be back. While I appreciate the extra spring rolls, when I'm spending $26 (with tip, because I always am sure to tip carry out) on a meal, I expect to be treated like I'm not out to get anything from them aside from a nice dining experience. MY ORIGINAL REVIEW-- This place is delicious and local which I love! I ordered through the Yelp app (which uses Grubhub) & drove over to pick it up. They have it set up so you can't enter the restaurant, which personally I appreciate. My order was ready when I arrived and the host was SO sweet. I had the Phoenix roll and it was so so good. Also had the veggie spring rolls and those were very good as well. My brother had the miso soup, Cali roll & a spicy tuna with crunch and really liked all of his!! He said he would get it again and even try some special rolls. I absolutely will be back. Glad an aweslocal sushi place is nearby! read more

According to my family, this was a strike out for me. They're usually excited when I suggest a place I found on Yelp but. It so much this time. Order: Shrimp Tempura - Tempura is my all time favorite but this was a let down. The vegetables were fried in Tempura batter however the shrimp itself was fried in what seemed to be panko (see photo) Fried Gyoza - More like steamed than fried however this was good. Service was good. The waitress was friendly and took our order quickly. My daughter was disappointed when she was too they don't have yum yum sauce. They gave us free fried Oreos which was a plus. read more

We live this restaurant. The owners are so hospitable. The food is delicious and they are so family friendly.

I am really amped to have found Katana Sushi. In the times of Covid, I've been relying heavily on Grubhub to get my fill when my husband and I don't feel like cooking. When I tell you I have searched high and low for what I consider a good Chinese food place, I mean it. I moved here from Massachusetts so while I have no frame of reference for *authentic* Asian food, I have very specific preferences. General Tso's chicken and crab rangoon are kind of my barometer for whether or not I enjoy a place and will return. Full stop - I will not likely order these from any other place from here on out. The chicken is crispy and they are super generous with the sauce - and it's flavored PERFECTLY to my taste. The crab rangoon could travel a bit better (I find they get a little softer than I'd like) but honestly the flavor is perfect which is really the biggest dealbreaker for me. And... THE PAD THAI just... order it. It's damn near perfect. I recommend the house pad thai, but the veggie pad thai is equally delicious. We did get some sushi delivered, and it was good - my only problem is ordering. Some of the sushi components were a bit unexpected - might be because I didn't pay attention, might be because menus don't translate well, either way it was delicious - but if you want to know what to expect maybe go in person or be super familiar with your sushi orders. Overall - we love Katana Sushi, and absolutely will continue ordering from them!! read more

3.5 Stars Didn't have time to sit down for lunch so this was purely a grab and go sort of thing. Enter Katana Sushi which was located in a strip mall I entered looking for some quick food options. Ordered some avocado rolls and edamame. Total ~$12.95. I thought the portions were rather small for the price but the service was quick and this was a healthier alternative to french fries. The seating area in the restaurant seemed rather small and it was busy on this particular afternoon. There is a an area by the sushi bar with about six stools. This place is highly rated so I'd like to give it another try on a day when I'm not pressed for time. read more

Pros & Cons: Pros-Easy parking, fast seating, quick food delivery... In addition, they offer so much variety! There were not only 20+ chef specialty rolls, when we dined there were an additional 20+ 'daily special' rolls. They each had slightly different combinations, so it was a bit overwhelming to try to narrow down our choices. Cons-We had to narrow down our choices since the prices were so high. On average a roll was between $13-17-for a typical 6-8 sushi roll, and they weren't overly impressively stuffed. Overall, the ingredients were delicious, fresh, and had nice flavor profiles, but at $70 for 4 rolls there are equally delicious places nearby that won't break the bank. read more

Great lunch deal! Staff is very friendly and we got served quickly. Going to be a regular lunch spot for me and my coworkers

Today Yelp suggested Katana as a healthy option and I am glad I listened... I didn't even check the reviews... I was so hungry that I forgot. They have a very large menu with sooo many things that is hard to decide. That's why I got the Bento Box and I loved it! it had a little bit of everything and more than enough for my lunch tomorrow.... I love leftovers, that means I don't have to cook for another day... jajaja Another thing that I liked is that they describe their dishes in their menu. A lot of Asian restaurants don't and you keep ordering the same dishes over and over just to be safe. read more

Katana Sushi is a cute restaurant situated in a little strip mall. The inside of the restaurant is warm, clean, and inviting. It's a small restaurant overall, but because I was there on a Wednesday night, it wasn't crowded and I was seated quickly. I ordered tempura veggies and a chirashi for dinner. The tempura veggies came out quickly and were yummy. For $6, you get a pretty hefty pile of deep fried deliciousness. I mostly enjoyed my chirashi. The tuna was a little icy, but the rest of it was adequately thawed and tasted fresh. I was happy with my service as well. They kept my mug of tea topped off with hot water and were quick to fix an issue with my order. I plan on coming back the next time I have a sushi craving. I think I'll spring for a fun sushi roll next time instead of the chirashi. read more

This place is terrible every single time I call to get one order of sushi. They tell me it's gonna be 40 minutes. I just drove by there yet again and there's no cars there. I really question whether they want to make such a small order. I can't leave a review on the food because I'm never able to get any from there yet. You can get Chinese next-door in 10 minutes no matter how many people are in line. read more

Totally love visiting this place with the family when we are in town! The mermaid roll is our favorite. We stopped in the other day for lunch and were immediately sat.

Located in a strip mall directly across from a Holiday Inn this is a license for almost guaranteed success. That said the food quality here was far above expectation. The menus is vast almost a bit too big but there is a mix of sushi Japanese Chinese and Thai choices so get prepared for some decision making. It too as a costly place so be prepared to spend. I was a little rushed by the waiter but when asked for some extra time he disappears until I was able to flag him down. Not feeling the sushi vibe last night I got sesame chicken and it was crazy good. The portion was huge and I can say you need a group of people to eat here. Order a few things and share. Bottom line this place is 8.5 out of 10 in my book that's a great score. You can't go wrong so try this place and enjoy. FoodDude! read more
