Solid place for sushi in the area. Perfect for a date night as the restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great area to stroll around. The service was friendly and quick. The food itself was super solid. The sushi was very well made and priced. We also got a plate of noodles that was delicious as well! Would recommend!! read more

I went to this place last night after receiving a generous gift card from the owner due to my latest experience at the Pike and Rose location. The rolls that I ordered were of good quality, and the sushi boat was fresh and incredible. Great portions too, and everyone in my party was satisfied with the food. Unfortunately I did find two fish scales in one of the sushi boat's nigiri, and that could have been rough since someone in my party has a lot of trouble chewing. I was offered a $10 discount, but the system wouldn't allow it to be stacked with another discount that someone else in my party originally had. I asked for the existing discount to be removed so that it could be used on another visit, but the server misunderstood me and ran that one instead of the discount we were offered that day for the mishap. By the time I figured out that there was a mistake, we didn't have time to correct it due to personal schedules. I've enjoyed most of my experiences with Kusshi over the years, but I do hope that they'll figure out a way to ensure that their sushi doesn't have inedible extras. read more

I love Wesleys Y restaurants. So my friend and I decided to come to this location. Long story short, the service fell below my expectations. I arrived after my friend was already seated. My table setting was bare. My server never came to set my table. I wasn't given a menu or any tableware. I had to take it from a nearby table. Not even a glass. After ordering, we were never checked on. We had to ask our waiter for xyz. Had he checked on me I would of mentioned that my bento box had cold food that's suppose to hot. My tempera wasn't good. My sushi was good. I was disappointed. I usually have good experience and service at other Kusshi locations but im not sure if I want to come back if the service is this bad. Restaurant wasn't even busy... Smh. read more

Our server Cedric was fantastic, drinks, apps and dinner were served Ina timely manner, with a friendly sense of humor. 11 gals for dinner after a spa day- we were a handful. They offer creative drinks, with a full bar you can find something to enjoy. The menu is not just sushi. The table favorite app was seared salmon belly. Melts in your mouth. Miso soup was a strong miso flavor with cubes of tofu and green onion, read more

The food was amazing, we had the crazy tuna, dragon roll, and their sushi of the month. It was all fun to eat and burst of distinct flavor from each of the rolls. We love the creativity of blending and mixing ingredients. And how it plays to the taste of the food. The service was also good. It took some time to get an attendant in the front to assist with getting a seat despite the non busy hours. However, after we sat down, our orders and concerns were addressed immediately. The atmosphere in the dining area was really nice. Immersed with the Japanese vibes and culture. However, when you use the restroom, this is a different topic. I believe the staff made sure that every area was clean before opening. I do suggest that someone would check at least the status. Imagine your customer being delighted with all the food and seeing gruesome in your cubicle would paint a bad experience and all the delicious food and service were tainted. Overall food and service wise, this is a good experience. read more

This place is always amazing. This location was in the square where there are usually events being held. We got here right when it opened but was welcomed in with open arms. Service is always amazing and the staff is always attentive, regardless of how busy they are. There large dragon mural on the back wall was really colorful and bold. Sitting at the bar, you get to see the sushi chefs doing their thing. It was a bar hopping day so we ate lite. Regardless of the fact, the food was amazing and the plating is always impressive. read more

Tried some items from their new brunch menu. The flavors were good, but the portion size was just too small. I would have enjoyed it more if the portions were larger and I actually felt somewhat full. It felt like all the items were kid portion sizes. The hamburger was like a meatball. The pancake can be finished in 4 bites and the size of a small platter. The meat was cooked well and soft. After paying $70+, still starving and had to go to another restaurant. Meter parking outside or you can park at the parking lots (90 min free parking before getting charged) near the restaurant. read more

We ordered the sushi boat for two and it was just the right amount of food. Having so many different cuts to try from was a fun experience and each slice was very high quality. The service was fast and we didn't have to wait very long for our food to come either. There was plenty of seating inside and a large bar. Overall just good things to say about this place and would come back for a nice night out. read more

I've been here a couple times and had good service every time. The hostess heard my boyfriend say it was my birthday and she gave us a free dessert that we weren't expecting! We also got Otoro and Chutoro and it just melted in your mouth!(not pictured i forgot to take a pic) We also got the salmon avocado ball but the salmon inside was ICE COLD, i was crunching on ice crystals with the tuna.

If you live in the DMV, you probably know Kusshi, especially since it has been expanding significantly in the past few years. Their seared fatty salmon is where it's at, and it really melts in your mouth (currently offered on their happy hour menu for $8 for 2 pcs). We came for happy hour (Mon-Fri from 3-6pm in the whole restaurant), and the deals are great, especially their drink deals. We ordered their kusshi noodles (waitress recommendation), and it was ok (seemed like something I would order for a picky kid in the group). read more

We had an amazing experience at Kusshi. They were packed but they were able to get us a table fast. I ordered miso soup for an appetizer; it came quickly and was delicious - definitely not the powdered stuff! It also had real tofu chunks in it which I loved. For our main, we ordered the sushi boat for two. It was INCREDIBLE. Super fresh fish, and the two specialty pieces of fatty seared salmon was the highlight of the boat. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh sushi! read more

The bestttttt late night spot. Cedric is the absolute best. The happy hour seared salmon is $4 for two pieces!!!! So worth it. Will always request Cedric when I come into town! He recommended great things and was very attentive. Everyone was here having a great time! Closes at 12am, definitely hit it up. There were chill groups, there were big crowds. Can never go wrong coming here. Will always be a stop when I come into town. Everyone very friendly. read more

We ordered the row boat, which was plenty of food for a party of 5. Sushi rollls, sashimi, and nigiri were all great! They also have a great happy hour, that includes drinks and appetizers. The wings and Takoyaki appetizers were both delicious. The service was excellent! Would definitely come back again. Note: There is free garage parking available nearby for the first 90 minutes. read more

Kusshi RTC One Year Anniversary It was an after 10 PM White Party to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Rockville location. The food was delicious and fire, amazing as always. We had a few rolls, edamame and drinks. The music was good, perfect mixture of old skool, new skool and Latinx beats. Not sure who was the DJ but they were skilled on the turntable. It was a festive vibe and perfect for a celebration. Service was warm and friendly, they continued to check on us. My only issue was the drinks were slow but the waitress was very apologetic and super nice. It was a busy night, so I totally understand. It's one of my favorite sushi spots, so I'd definitely return. read more

The food is slightly expensive but worth it since the taste of the food is really good such as the steak fried rice which can definitely feed two people. The salmon sushi was very good (one of the best I've ever had). One downside is that the service was a little slow but it's understandable since there was high flow in the restaurant. We are coming back to the Nutella dessert. read more

Tempura greasy Sushi room temp and flavorless. I'm hoping I don't get sick. 4.6 rating totally inexplicable read more

I usually love Kusshi--especially their Pike & Rose location, where both the food and drinks are always on point--but unfortunately, our visit to the Rockville Town Center spot didn't live up to that standard. Let's start with the positive: the Nutella dessert was really good, and our server was kind and attentive. He even offered us complimentary shots at the end, which we appreciated after a disappointing start to the evening. The issue? The drinks. I ordered a regular dirty martini, but the bartender decided on his own to make it extra dirty without asking. It tasted like the olive juice had gone bad--harsh and completely off. My friends ordered lychee martinis and both said it was the worst they've ever had. So bad that they each took one sip and couldn't finish it. No one checked in or offered to fix them until the very end, which honestly ruined the mood. It's a bummer because we were looking forward to a fun night out. Hopefully, this location is just going through some growing pains and will get up to speed with the Pike & Rose one. For now, I'd say stick with the other location if you're going for the full Kusshi experience. read more

I'm for sure a kusshi fan since their original Rockville location in pike and rose. The first time I went to this location, it was during the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight and it was a ton of fun. We had mutual friends who knew some of the staff/owner so drinks were on the house. I decided to go back and bring my friend last night for his birthday to treat him for some sushi. We ordered the row boat (76 piece for sashimi and nigiri mixed). Our waiter was nice enough to recommend us pure sake, and complimentary seared salmon with miso soup. They also surprised us with complimentary mochi ice cream (black sesame and cake batter!) We sat outside and it was a nice night. Not too hot or cold and the restaurant wasn't empty but it definitely wasn't packed. I enjoyed service and dinner. They did a great job and would happily return. read more

I came here for the first time and I was honestly blown away. The interior of the restaurant seems very end. They have tables, booths, bar seating, and seating right in front of the sushi chefs. The food was also amazing. Granted some of the rolls were really pricy the quality of the fish and ingredients they use are super fresh and tasted amazing. The service was also really good. My total for the bill came out to $61 for 2 rolls and a katsu dinner and when the waiter came out to receive payment I accidentally wrote $70 in the tip line instead of the total line and when I saw the receipt I was shocked. But before I could even say anything the waiter returned to double check if I really meant to leave that amount as a tip. I told him it was a mistake and he corrected it right away. Super helpful service, amazing food, and beautiful restaurant. The only reason why it isnt a 5 star is just because some of the rolls are just way too expensive for what it is. Other than that is was amazing and I will definitely be coming back again and again. read more

First time at this Kusshi location, but I've been to the one at Pike & Rose many times. Ambiance was nice and bright, which I preferred a bit more than when Sushi Damo was there and it feels more spacious now even tho the layout is similar. The tables are small with big menus and plates that were flowing off the table and constantly needing reshuffling - probably should've seated us at a table for 4 when not busy just to have some more room. Went for a late Friday night dinner, love that they open late! Service was friendly, but the waitress might be new and seemed nervous. Tried the Chicken Karaage, which was delicious on its own and nicely fried and seasoned, but the garlic aioli was bland and flavorless. Got my go-to Rainbow roll which was fresh and on point. Spider roll was beautifully plated with it, but was rolled really big and falling apart before it could get to my mouth. The Crunchy and Maryland rolls were only average. Everything came out quickly since they weren't busy. I got the Lychee Cosmos and he got Japanese Old Fashions - the first one was good but the second one tasted real different and when asked, the waitress confirmed with the bartender that they had used a different whiskey so they took it off the bill. We also got Tequila shots and at first they said the one we wanted was out, so we settled for another one, but then they found a bottle of the one we originally wanted a minute later. Umm ok. A few hiccups with the drinks, but overall a decent experience. The late nighters seem to be regulars and the vibe was nice and friendly, like a neighborhood bar vibe. read more

Loved this place a lot like 2 years ago, think it's under new management now that seems a bit more greedy, idrk. So who knows if it'll still be good or not, last time I went it was fine, the sushi deals I liked were gone and I found myself paying more for something that was still just, fine. read more

Loved the ambience and the decor of the restaurant. Quality of sushi was really good. We had a reservation for 2 and the seating option upon arrival wasn't great. One of us just faced the wall with no view of the restaurant. Not really ideal especially for someone making a reservation. The restaurant was really crowded and this caused the service to be a bit slow. Had to ask for things twice on occasion. Overall a great experience but room for improvement. read more

This sushi spot is cute and quaint. We were greeted by the hostess who allowed us to sit where we wanted. Our waitress immediately greeted us with waters which was a nice touch. I hate when I have to ask for water. She gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. We decided on the miso soup, salted edamame, spicy tuna avocado balls, spicy rock shrimp, goyza vegetable dumplings, tempura appetizer, and the seared yellowtail roll. We split a Sapporo. Things that we enjoyed: miso soup (one of the best I've had), goyza vegetables dumplings, tempura appetizer (tempura batter was light and flaky), and salted edamame. The miso soup was sooooo delicious. The chucks of tofu were tender and the broth was so flavorful. The goya dumplings were pan fried to perfection and the sauce really complimented them. The tempura came with two pieces of shrimp, and 5 vegetables. We liked them a lot. Things that we did not care for: spicy tuna avocado balls, spicy rock shrimp, There was entirely too much avocado wrapped around amount of tuna inside of the balls. The ratio was off and since there were no cucumbers in the balls the texture was very mushy. The spicy rock shrimp were cooked very well but the amount of spicy sauce was overpowering the shrimp so much so all you could taste was the heat from the sauce. I would suggest perhaps a drizzle on the shrimp or serving the sauce on the side. Lastly, the seared yellowtail roll left much to be desired. It needed something sort of sauce on it because this roll severely lacked flavor. The service was wonderful and we are open to trying Kusshi again. read more

I met a friend for lunch today at Kusshi. She had made a noon reservation but we really did not need it. The space is very bright & attractive, with high ceilings. I arrived a bit early but I was seated right away, so I had time to look around. They gave us a regular full menu, a lunch menu, a specials menu, and a drink menu. So many choices! It was a freezing day so we had hot tea. We ordered the nigiri bento box off the lunch menu, steamed shrimp shumai, and one of their special rolls--Dragon roll. All the items were delicious. Our young server was very pleasant. We had to prompt him about a few details but he came through. The food was terrific & I would go again any time I am in the Rockville Town Center. read more

I came here based on a recommendation. Kusshi sushi is amazing, located in Pike & Rose. I sat at the sushi bar where you can watch the sushi chefs create their signature sushi rolls. I recommend making a reservation, it can get pretty busy. My favorites are the Got Beef roll make with wagu, the crazy toro made with blue fin tuna and the sushi seared fatty salmon belly. The ingredients are so fresh and the staff are nice. I highly recommend stopping. Street parking and garage parking are available. read more

Great food, terrible service. Came here a few times, busy or not, their wait staff always take at least 10 minutes before they show up at your table to greet you. Once they take order you only see them when they bring your food and your check. Last time we came I ordered teriyaki to share with my toddler. By the time the food came out, it was COLD. It wasn't hot or warm. It was cold because they were too busy talking to each other behind the bar to keep an eye on the orders from the kitchen. There are always at least 4 people talking to each other behind the bar doing nothing else. It's pretty frustrating. So come here for the food, but don't expect to be greeted or served promptly. read more

The quality is great! Highly recommend this place! Like to order to pick up! The warm roll is very good!:)

Decent Japanese place. Came here for Sunday lunch with friends. Would give my particular experience a 3.75 stars.. I grew up in the area but much has changed. The parking situation of Pike & Rose isnt the most fun but apparently the new reality. Luckily, it appears first two hours are free in the garage I ended up in and a reasonable $3 for next 2hrs. This was the lot across Kusshi and Chipotle. Signage and signal were not great but I found the place. We sat outside as it was a nice day. The menu was pretty nice. I was very delighted with their cocktail selection because yuzu drinks are hard to find but they were all over here. I tried the Salaryman and it was delicious. Of note, they provided bottles of water to self-serve table water. For food, we got the nigiri sampler, wings, seared salmon roll, and got beef roll. Nigiri sushi was fine. Nothing super special or bad. Wings were very good. My favorite is salmon and there were not that many options on their specialty rolls. The seared salmon roll was way over cooked to me. For anything aburi, I expect just the top surface to be charred but the sushi on this was pretty much 90% cooked through which made me sad. The got beef was very rich and interesting to try but would not get again. I think it would have been better if the top was raw since the katsu was inside but I could see people probably losing their shit over being served raw beef. All in all, very decent place with good service but absolutely on the expensive side. There appears to be HH options on weekdays which is appealing for a next visit. read more

Had a great dinner Friday night at this latest Kusshi outpost! Has very similar DNA as the other branches (in terms of menu, decor and overall vibe). Space was modern and clean. Service was friendly and attentive. We started off with their seared fatty salmon nigiri. The quality was amazing (perfectly torched on the outside and soft on the inside) in perfect portions. We also shard a nationals roll and tofu Katsu curry. Both dishes were excellent. The sushi roll was well constructed with very fresh ingredients. The katsu curry was generously portioned with a creamy curry sauce (with potatoes, fried tofu and scallions mixed in). Red Japanese pickles were also on the side of the dish (goes well with this dish). Will be back! read more

Thursday night at around 7 pm. Nice evening and the place wasn't crowded so we opted to eat outside. This is our first time here. We got two appetizers: Shrimp and Tempura Appetizer ($13) and Spicy Tuna Roll ($9). For entrees, we got the Chicken Teriyaki ($19) and Spicy Miso Ramen ($18 plus $1 for the spicy). All of the items were delicious. The 6-piece sushi roll was large and had a good amount of spicy tuna and other ingredients. The Tempura appetizer was well done - several shrimp and vegis (sweet potato, red pepper, poblano pepper - hot!) with a light coating. Tasted fresh, crisp and delicious. The Chicken Teriyaki was a generous portion of well prepared grilled chicken and vegis. The meat was very flavorful and the entree was not overly salty (which sometimes happens with Teriyaki). The Ramen was also very good. The pork was very meaty (not just fat) and the noodles were well cooked, the egg delicious and the broth tasty. I didn't find the broth to be particularly spicy (a disappointment), since I paid a buck extra for spicy and was told by the Staff that it would have a nice kick. The spicy did not have a kick. It does make me wonder if the non-spicy miso broth would be pretty boring. But I digress. I'll give the food a grade of close to 100. Everything was very, very good. The miso wasn't particularly spicy, but it was flavorful. This is not a five star review, though, because of the fact that all the food was brought at the same time. Like - here's your sushi and 1 minute later comes the Shrimp Appetizer along with the two entrees. I mentioned this twice to the Staff. First when everything came and a second time when she came back to check on us. She responded that when they aren't busy, the kitchen sends everything out at once. Excuse me for shouting, but WHAT?? All the food coming at once pretty much ruined what would have been an outstanding meal and experience. I hoped a manager would come over for me to mention this to them, but no one did, although there was one on duty. I'd give the restaurant a 5 star for the food and the server coming back several times to check on us and our water glasses. But the food all coming at once is a big deal. I struggled between a 3 and 4 star rating based on this one thing and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and try again. Ideally I would give a 3.5. I'm giving the 4 but I'm not happy about it. But be warned: you might want to tell your wait staff that you want some time between your appetizer and entree. It's really annoying to feel rushed and to feel as if the restaurant operates for its convenience and not for your dining experience. And it's disappointing not to have had a manager to express my disappointment to. It's a nice restaurant with a good atmosphere, and we spent $60 there. It's a shame I left there so annoyed. I can't be the only person who thinks that restaurants that offer appetizers should space out the meal. read more
