    California Roll - Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Maggi R.

    We drove up from Baltimore to meet our friends in Mt Airy who wanted to introduce us to a restaurant that they enjoyed. We were very impressed with the décor of Saltwater Kitchen and Sushi. It had a quiet and serene feeling when you walked in. We were seated in a back room which was very quiet and lovely. Our server came over right away to ask for our drink order. They have quite an extensive lunch and dinner menu. We actually ordered off of both. They very kindly offer you a free soup and an appetizer to start. My husband and I had the Miso soup, which had a delightful taste. Our friends had the Clear soup, which they said was delicious. They also gave us a free appetizer that was Crab Tempura which we all shared, and it was really good. My husband ordered the lunch special of Hibachi Scallop and Shrimp that came with broccoli and fried rice. I was excited to try their lunch sushi special - "Pick two rolls for $12.00." I had a California Roll (Crabmeat, cucumber, and avocado) and a Shrimp Tempura Roll (Shrimp Tempura, cucumber and mayo) served with fresh ginger and wasabi. I was in sushi heaven. Our friends enjoyed two orders of the Crispy Shrimp Tempura Appetizers, which came with a lot of shrimp and vegetables. They also had an order of Vegetarian Spring Rolls and an order of Shrimp Fried Rice. It was a lot of food! They went home with more than enough for another meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunches and look forward to returning another time.

    The food is good but the service has somehow gotten worse since they first opened. After waiting at the table for over 20 minutes, I had to find a waiter for menus, to place our order, and to get and pay our check. The couple sitting next to us left money on the table because their server had not come back after 30 minutes of waiting. We have tried to love this place but the lack of service is not worth it.

    Nachos

    Very spontaneous night out, got seated quick on a Thursday night. Staff was pleasant, miso soup was amazing and so were the Nachos. I am not a big fan of green onions in my sushi so just be aware of some textures in your sushi if you don't care for them either. It was our second try after ordering out our first time, and am glad we did! Solid choice. Ambiance was not terrible but I am not a fan of lights that shine right into my face , close to requiring a baseball hat! But it's just something that for me personally makes a huge impact. (We sat in the first room). We will come back!

    was like minced tuna, mismatch, not grade a not good

    Very happy excellent service Jonathan the manager is fantastic. They addressed issues we had and we are very happy and we will be going back to Saltwater.

    Petite Seafood Tower
    Sam D.

    Nice ambience and good food. Service was a bit spotty and prices a tad steep. Hubby loved the seafood tower - picture is of the petite tower. We were told the grande would be the same but with another level. Will go back but can't say this would take me away from the other sushi place in town.

    Katana Japanese Cuisine is a hidden gem located in a shopping center in Mt. Airy. As we walked in,…read morewe were surprised to see the authentic Japanese decor, and were warmly greeted by the hostess who seated us right away. We went during lunch time, so there was plenty of seating, and only a few parties dining. The service was quick, and friendly. We ordered the kids chicken habachi, Katana roll, Philadelphia roll, and sashimi. We were highly impressed with the servings and how fresh the sushi was. We definitely enjoyed our meals and would love going back to try other items on the menu. Even the kids' chicken habachi was full of flavor that my daughter ate most of her meal, but we still had plenty of left overs.

    After such a great meal I'd definitely be down to come back. Their desserts looked really good but…read morewe were too full. I appreciated the orange that the delivered at the end of a meal as a nice palate cleanser. What we got: Fried rice (plain, small) - 4* delicious! I wish it had more veggies and egg but I'd get it again. Stir fried udon with chicken (yakiudon) - 4.5* the flavour was divine and there was a good amount of chicken. Even when I felt full I wanted to keep eating it was so good. I look forward to finishing my leftovers tomorrow. Chicken pad Thai - 4* the perfect combination of sweet and sour. This also came with a good amount of chicken.

    Great food, service and value. Hard to believe how long we had waited to try this place!…read more Had dinner with friends last night at Surah - at our friend's suggestion. We ordered hibachi and sushi rolls. Our meals came with soup, salad, fried rice, noodles, sautéed vegetables, and dessert (delicious vanilla ice cream). All the hot foods were cooked on the grill right in front of us, with the theatrics you'd expect from a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. Our chef was quite skilled with both the tricks and the cooking. All of the food was delicious, especially the filet mignon steak hibachi and the sushi rolls (a "Fire Crunch" roll with spicy tuna, cucumber, salmon, and spicy crab, and a spicy salmon roll). The wait staff checked on us frequently and someone even came running out of the restaurant after us to thank us for coming. Our part of the bill was around $50 (for one hibachi and two sushi rolls) AND we had leftovers. I expect we will be returning.

    Sometimes the best dining experiences happen by accident. We decided to give this little local spot…read morea try, and while we came for dinner, we left talking about the people. The couple preparing the sushi made us feel genuinely welcome when we walked in. There wasn't a lot of conversation, but their warmth and kindness spoke volumes. The highlight of the evening came after we had already left as she actually chased us into the parking lot just to say goodbye! That simple gesture made us feel less like customers and more like family. It's the kind of hospitality that's becoming rare and deserves to be recognized. The food was enjoyable too. My husband loved his generous serving of chicken yakisoba with fried rice. My sushi selections were beautifully presented. I'll let the photos speak for the food as what truly earned this restaurant five stars, was the heartfelt hospitality. In an area with plenty of dining options, it's the genuine kindness and welcoming spirit of the owners that will bring us back. Thank you for making us feel so at home!

    I honestly don't know how they do it. The sushi chefs at Kyo are performing literal wizardry back…read morethere. Every bite is consistently insane. At one point my mouth was doing things I probably shouldn't describe in a public review. We did order for delivery, which disappointed us because it never showed up. BUT, i called the restaurant and it was ready for pick up. They quickly resolved that i had paid online and i was good to go at pick up. Easy peasy and with a smile. Okay, let's talk food! I will start with, the fish is impossibly fresh, the rolls are balanced perfectly, and every single piece feels like it was crafted with obsessive attention. No throwaway bites. No filler. Just straight-up sushi perfection. Here's the real kicker: we live part-time in Kauai, a place that technically has a slight advantage when it comes to seafood given its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, and Kyo still wins our hearts when it comes to sushi. That's saying something. So if you're looking for perfection in every bite, grab your person and get your ass over to Kyo. You will not be disappointed. Also, how cute are these sushi plates from my mom?! Mahalo Mom!

    I have never tried Susui TarTar, and honestly, I don't know why. I suspect I was a little afraid…read more But last night, we wandered, and so did my stomach. The result was that I finally had Tuna Tartare. Um, why had I waited? Phenominal Really great food overall. Good Sushi is a fantastic experience. I enjoyed the Tuna Tartare. We also got Gyoza, and that was also fantastic. The Salmon rolls were pronounced perfect . Overall epic food. Great menu and really lots of things I want to try. They are on our places we are visiting again list!
