4.5/5 Aw shucks now! I think I may have found my go to spot for spot on bangarang, yummy sushi. After checking Yelp, thee broham and I decided to try a new spot. Neither of us wanted to go downtown, so we ended up here. It is located in an unassuming strip mall in HoCo. There is signage indicating its location in the strip mall, but you can't necessarily see it from the street. I mean the restaurant is facing a gas station. There are other restaurants in the strip too, it was next to an Italian place. Interior, was inviting, enough tables in this quaint establishment, big ol fish tank and a nice sushi bar with a couple of tables for the duos. The sushi bar had several types of saki lining it in addition to candles, it was just hmmmm comfy like zen even. Okay for the part that matters, the food. So I almost always get the rainbow roll to try at every place and some sort of salmon. Each were awesome, fresh and beautifully made. The broham and I decided to try two new things, the ninja roll, and the crazy spider. The ninja had tuna eel, salmon and whole lot of stuff, the crazy spider was just a spider roll with some additions to it. Either way, everything that I tasted was on point. Now just to add some fuel to this fatty's fire, I had to try the deep fried oreos, I mean why wouldn't I? Doesn't it just sound like flippin heaven? Oh it was. Just thinking about it now, makes me what to pull out my fry daddy and experiment! Service was good, everyone was quite helpful with any question/concerns. The prices were a little higher than what I am used to, but honeslty, it was worth it in the end. I say try it out. read more

Love their Singapore noodles. Wasn't as impressed with the Thai food I ordered. But this is my go-to spot for Singapore noodles.

Very classic. sushi is great taste, service is good. Will be back to try other dishes next time.

We hadn't visited Katana since before Covid and wanted to celebrate a special occasion close to home so Katana was the place we chose. Our 3 roll lunch combos with miso soup were beautifully presented, fresh and delicious. Service was great and the value as well. We are glad we revisited and will be back. read more

This is an ok place , I went with my daughters for first time and I was not impressed, I compared with others sushi places in the area , and this is why I give them 3 stars. - small portions - price little high - sushi taste. 3 people 95.00 including tips.

High quality, authentic, consistent with excellent food, good service, reasonable lunch specials one of my favorite area places. The owner Nancy is very nice and helpful, lots of choices on the menu, Japanese, Tai, Chinese, Sushi, recommend. read more

Omg... I have been here twice. Both times they have made us wait for our sushi for soooo long. The first time was 45-50 mins wait for 2 rolls of sushi. It wasn't even packed. Their were empty tables everywhere. I didn't understand why it took so long. The second time it took 1 hour exactly for only 3 rolls of sushi. Why does it take that long. The place isn't even that big compared to the cheese cake factory. If you order normal food like noodles or anything besides sushi... it takes less than 10 mins to get you food sent out. Just the sushi takes FOREVER!!! If you want sushi only... Warning... you be waiting for quite a long time. Make sure you order other than sushi so you aren't sitting their forever with an empty tummy. The only reason I am putting 3 stars is because the Pad Thai (chicken) is pretty good! It's very savoring! Just the sushi timing to be served needs to change. BTW: The first time they gave us free desert for the long wait and second time they gave us a free appetizer and desert. That was very nice of them but, making my bf and I wait so long on a date was quite a disappointment. read more

This review is for their Chinese food, which is excellent with very fresh ingredients. While they have limited Chinese dinner options on the huge menu, they offer most of the standard, more popular dishes from General Tso's to Hunan and Sweet and Sour. The beef is extremely tender and the chicken is white meat only. Prices are a bit high but worth it for the quality of the food. We've tried the Japanese chicken yakisoba too and it is tasty as well, but the Chinese food here is our favorite. Note we don't eat sushi so can't rate that. read more

I only ordered sushi to go and it was ready in 10 mins and was delicious, highly recommend the signature Katana roll.

The best combination you could ask for; great food and some of the best service I've ever had. I will always come back when I'm in town! read more

Katana Sushi - Out of control roll without it being seared. Ask you and will receive, they have the best service! Topped with a ginger martini! So good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

Came here for dinner and the interior was pretty cool! You'll see what I mean when you go. We ended up ordering a bunch of rolls to share and a bottle of sweet sake recommended by our server. Since we ordered so much they placed it on a cute boat. My server was the cutest and the food was good! Definitely come here if you're in the area and craving sushi. read more

Was not a fan of the service, the sashimi ordered was average but the price was super high.

Let me start by saying, I believe my dining experience would have been better in restaurant rather than by delivery. Delivery was on-time; however, the food was cold and the Singapore noodles were kind of dry and bland. The Japanese fried rice was great with hearty serving of shrimp! Definitely would try again, but dine in only. read more

Every single time I've come here, the service was marvelous and their food was outstanding. Our water has been refilled consistently on time. We had 2 waitresses and they were very attentive and prompt. Always asking if we're okay or if I wanted my hot tea refilled. We started off with a Spicy Tuna Tartare for an appetizer and it was delicious. The textures went really well together from the little crispy crumbs to the fluffy, fresh raw tuna melded in with seasonings, spices and some sweet sauce. I went to an upscale steak house in California called Mastro's steakhouse, and their Tuna Tartare wasn't even close to this. I got 4 rolls. Yes 4, I'm fat shaddup. Hehe, I got the tuna and salmon rolls with the crispy tuna and salmon rolls. My brother got the Sushi and Sashimi Deluxe. What I really appreciated was that our waitress informed us that there was only 1 Sushi Chef at the moment so our orders will take a little longer than expected. Most restaurants don't tell you that; at least from my own experiences. But the fact that she told us, I would know not to expect it to come out faster. Very nice. The food? If I died while eating that food, you'd see a huge smile on my face. After we devoured our food, the waitress asked us if we would like some dessert and before we could really reply, she informed us that they had 2 new desserts that aren't even on their menus yet! Fried oreos and fried cheesecake! My brother was full and I was too, but those sounded sooo good that I had to order them! The fried oreos were just spectacular! I've had fried oreos in other places but this place beats it by a mile because you could tell that their ice cream wasn't freezer burned like all the other places (Aside from El Hidalgo) and the fried oreos were fresh off the fryer. When you bite into the oreo, you feel the crunchy texture of the fried batter then the hot oreo literally melting in your mouth and with the cold vanilla ice cream perfectly balances out the temperature and texture of the rest of the dish. The fried cheesecake? I really liked that too. The only problem with that is, it's hot and there's nothing to cool you down when eating it. I took some pictures of what we ate so you should check them out. Like right when you read this.... Like now. Right now. As soon as possible. GO! Favorite sushi and sashimi restaurant! read more

"Why's it called Katana" Walks into restaurant and sees 8 foot Katana "oh..." This is a pretty good sushi place in a strip mall next to a hotel. The price is lower than some of the nearby places, and they have a great selection of specialty rolls at a reasonable price. The staff was patient and friendly, and service was fast. The eel here is actually slightly better than most places, the rest of the fish was really fresh and tasty. read more

Solid sushi, despite the strip mall locale. Interior: warm + inviting. There's the requisite fish tank near the sushi bar. Menu: everything you'd expect and then some. The list of specialty rolls is quite extensive. There's a "special maki" list in the regular menu and two separate other lists - the "chef's specials" and "daily specials". It gets confusing as many of the rolls are similar to one another. The names here are particularly fun - including "Tuna Amazing", "Japanese Lasagna" and "Victoria's Secret". App: the person I was with ordered something called the "Sexy Jalapeno" to start. It's essentially a Japanese take on the jalapeno popper - it's 1/2 of a pepper filled with tuna, cream cheese and other stuff. Delicious. Also entertaining to hear our server ask "Sir, how's your Sexy Jalapeno?" Rolls: we tried 3-4 of the specialty maki including the Tuna Amazing (apparently, it was), the Crunch, the Phoenix and (I couldn't resist because Sushi = Underwear?) the Victoria's Secret. The last was my favorite, very possibly because it came wrapped in pink soy paper instead of seaweed. Everything was fresh, well presented and tasty and I really appreciated that they didn't drown my rolls in the ubiquitous "spicy mayo" sauce. Portions are large, so consider ordering less than you might elsewhere. Service: great! The staff here was super, super friendly - from the sushi chefs who were joking around with customers to the servers who checked on us frequently. Was everything I had authentic? No way - especially not the Sexy Jalapeno. But it was all tasty and the staff was welcoming, so we left happy. read more

I was in the hotel across the street from this restaurant and ordered through door dash lazy I know. I asked the dasher to get a side of Sriracha. After spending 90 bucks they said no, I would need to order through door dash and that I cant get the side. read more

We love this place. Food is fantastic. Selection is great. Service is wonderful. Environment is very nice. And it's only about a mile from our house. Only problems are that at least in our minds it is slightly over-priced. And it is always crowded. If you go, definitely make reservations. Otherwise you will most likely be waiting for quite a while. If not for these two issues I would definitely give Katana Sushi 5 stars. read more

I've had a hankering for sushi for the past two weeks, so I searched Yelp for a new spot on Saturday. My husband and I were pleased to find Katana Sushi, which is located about five minutes from our new place. I was even more pleased to find that they had crunchy spicy tuna rolls as a menu item, since I've found it difficult in the past at other restaurants to explain that I prefer my rolls with tempura. We placed a order for pick-up and it was ready within about 20 to 25 minutes. We ordered 2 spicy tuna crunch rolls, fried rice, and general tso chicken. The total came to about $30 for everything. I tipped due to COVID-19 and the increased measures being taken to ensure the public's safety. The fried rice was some of the best that I have had, and the sushi was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely be back soon! I am elated to have found a new sushi spot in this area! read more

This place... I have been to every spot in this area for sushi since moving to Maryland a year ago. This was the first place recommended to me by a stranger I got to talking to once while shopping less than a week after arriving, and I can now say the nice lady who told me it was the best was so right. Service is friendly (our waiter was new and seemed nervous, but he was attentive and made sure everything was right), atmosphere is pleasant, and the food. Oh, the food. Fresh, delicious, TONS of fish in the sushi, perfectly cooked rice, nice presentation. Everything was exactly how I like. If you are a big sushi person but not easily blown away, go here. Now. read more

Katana Sushi - Scallop, sweet shrimp, captain roll, out of control roll, spicy scallop roll. So good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

We have ordered from Katana Sushi a handful of times now and I am never disappointed. Of course the sushi is amazing. Always delicious and fresh, but the variety of their menu is what keeps me coming back for more. My favorite appetizer is the Wasabi Shumai. This shumai is a must for anyone that enjoys a kick to their food. If you are not into spicy food their Gyoza is on point. If you are not looking for sushi, they have a ton of other options. I am a big fan of the Yakisoba. Along with Japanese and Chinese menu options they have Thai food as well. I have not tried the Thai food there, but it is next on my list. read more

Love this place, especially during the pandemic. Offering curbside pickup with a smile. They always throw in something extra for my daughter. Life the avocado and cucumber roll and the miso soup. Highly recommend. read more

I love this place! The staff is amazing, the food is great and it's consistent. I've never had a bad meal here. Between the sushi, the Japanese, the Chinese and Thai options in the menu, it's all good. Take-out is very quick and the restaurant itself is perfect. It's clean and it's cozy. I'll be honest, the blue light from the fish tank makes me crazy, but the fish tank it beautiful. I'll always look for a reason for eat here! read more

Found this place due to craving sushi and it being the closest place with the best looking food. I was not disappointed! The ambiance, character, and people were awesome. The food was fresh and so flavorful. Even the tea was sparkling fresh as if they melted down fresh Rocky Mountain snow to brew it. Bottom line...I'll be back without a doubt. read more

Good food, fun atmosphere and decent service. The employees were attentive and very friendly on the phone when calling to make and adjust our reservation. I had the Baltimore Roll with crab meat and Old Bay and the Spicy Tuna Crunch Roll. Both were fresh and tasty with a nice presentation. They even let us do separate checks for our group of 8 people! Will be back soon! read more

Great lunch specials. Service is fast and the food is always fresh and tasty!

It's been a few years since I've been here and glad I came back. Had a few sushi rolls and Singapore rice noodles, all of which were very good. I was surprised at all the different Asian cuisines (Japanese, Thai, Chinese) and will return soon to check out more menu items. read more

Food is what one would expect from a non-Japanese owned sushi joint (my guess is Chinese as Korean owned would typically offer some Korean dishes - here they have some fried rice and Thai dishes). They have lots of rolls. Too many to list or remember. Creative but not authentic. While I would usually give only three stars, they get an extra for super friendly service and super large portions. They even gave complimentary deep fried Oreos at the end. Kids loved it. Again, not truly a Japanese sushi experience but they certainly make up for it with smiles and satisfying food. read more

I ordered tofu and vegetable pad thai for delivery. I was a little surprised by its presentation. Instead of the tofu stir fried into the pad thai itself, the noodles came with a separate container with four large pieces of agedashi tofu (deep fried silken tofu). I couldn't eat more than 1, and I can't imagine it will reheat well. The tofu was pretty good on its own, but impossible to mix into the noodles without it completely falling apart. I'll probably try ordering something else from this place at some point, but overall I was disappointed with this particular dish. read more

Stopped in on a Monday evening to wait out rush hour traffic. Easy off/on from MD 100 and reasonably near BWI. Not crowded. Atmosphere was cozy clean and relaxing. Beautiful saltwater fish tank. Music was mellow which was great because we could actually talk to each other. You have two choices of seating at the Sushi bar or at a table. The tables are a bit close to each other but still separated back to back. Wine, cocktails, and beer are available. I recommend the Kirin which comes in a large can or a long neck bottle, both were ice cold. The sushi menu is extensive! The snow mountain roll was highly praised by one happy departing customer. We opted for a hot meal and both the Lemon Chicken (Chinese) and the Chicken/Shrimp Pad Thai (Thailand) were yummy and fresh. Portions were large, but we still cleaned our plate. Tucked into a nice neighborhood shopping center. Holiday Inn Express is across the parking lot. read more

Katana Sushi - Front dining area is very nice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

This was our first time coming here and is probably the best sushi place I have found near me. The hostess was very friendly and the waitresses were even more friendly and attentive. There were so many sushi roll options we couldn't choose! We decided to go with the hot hot roll, koto roll (a must try!), white river roll, sashimi (octopus, salmon, surf clam) and salmon roe sushi. We waited, expecting to get some soup & salad, but nothing came out before the sushi. We are so used to getting miso soup and salad as part of our order (complimentary); however, you have to order it separately. When the sushi came out I was a little surprised that the sashimi order came out with only 2 pieces per order BUT these pieces were about double what we were used to getting. Each slice of sashimi was thick and fresh. I was also a little disappointed that the salmon roe sushi was about half of what you usually get and slightly more expensive than most places; however, it was very good and not too salty. The rolls themselves were very good. This is definitely a must try and will most likely become my go-to sushi place when I'm in the area. read more

This place is fantastic. It's tucked away in a corner of a strip mall but it is a gem. We got the sexy jalapeños and they are so so good it's an upgraded popper. All of the rolls we ordered are so tasty. We ordered the sweetheart, starship, spicy tuna (the best I have ever had), philly, Alaska and California rolls. The philly roll has a very strong flavour I think they use smoked salmon in it. So much yum. We will be coming back for sure! read more

Another wonderful meal at Katana this evening.
