I was really hoping to love this place, but it fell short for me. The sushi menu definitely played it safe. There were very regular rolls available, and there were just a few fusion dishes. I was hoping for a pad Thai or pad see ew fusion dish but just regular Thai was available. The kimchi udon was definitely the star of the show. I had the crab fried rice. It was decent but average at best, with very little flavor. For protein options, they didn't have any tofu for the pad Thai, and I wasn't able to substitute the crab meat from the crab fried rice. Hopefully with time, the menu will continue to develop! read more

How lucky that we accidentally found this place while waiting for our movie. The ambience the decor the friendly staff and most importantly, the delicious food and drinks made us very happy that we came upon this new place! We tried the crunchy tuna rolls and my sister had the triple sea delight and both were wonderful. Not to mention fast! We told the hostess we were in a rush and she rushed! I felt truly welcomed and I can't wait to go back. Thank you guys! read more

They're still in their soft opening phase so I'll have to go back and try it out again. It was okay. Service was really good. But, we were the only ones there. Sushi looked nice and the descriptions sounded really good. But it was just okay. I think their specialty rolls need some adjustments. Everything we had was soft. Some cucumber or crunch would have been nice. read more

One of my favorite spots! You get to order on an IPad and the sushi comes out pretty quick. Pictured is the sunset roll which is great. We also love the tuna flight and sushi dinner. Thanks Ronnie for great service! read more

Shiki Fusion - Sunset Roll - Japanese Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

We visited Shiki Fusion during their soft opening. There are high expectations for this restaurant. The servers were very friendly and helpful. And I think the sushi was good - I got the salmon flight, 2 pieces of king salmon, 2 pieces of aburi salmon, 2 pieces of regular salmon, and a spicy salmon roll. It's as good as any you might find on the Pike. I also tried the Crab Meat Tom Yum Lava Bowl - maybe my expectations were high, but it didn't deliver as I'd expected. Shiki Fusion has an opportunity to establish themselves as a go-to location in Montgomery Mall, but they're going to have to step it up if they want to stick around. read more

Firstly, this place is really beautifully decorated inside. Would be a nice spot for a date or special dinner with friends or family. The food was really good. We only had sushi this time but everything was delicious and fresh tasting. We especially liked all of the rolls that we had with salmon, very delicious. Service was very nice as well. I plan to come back to try some of the hot entree dishes but overall nice place! read more

Tried this newest addition at the Westfield Montgomery Mall on a Saturday evening. 5 star for atmosphere and service. 5 stars for majority of dishes we tried except one. We had sashimi, sushi rolls, Thai fusion dishes, cocktails and mocktails. The sashimi and rolls were excellent in freshness. Highly recommend the Creamy kimchi udon and the wagyu fried rice. The crabmeat tom yum lava bowl had a good amount of crab meat but the tom yum sauce was too thick and sweet that it detracted from the fluffy egg and crab meat. This dish is a bit of a letdown. Our server is Sasa and she is extremely helpful and energetic. Japanese food is always more expensive so you need to take that into consideration. But this is certainly a great option with plenty of parking and the mall offers a place to stroll before and after a meal. Great for family and kid friendly. Tables are well spaced so conversations felt east and private. read more

Just stopping by in the area, however this place is great! Ronny was our server and he was very sweet and quick. He explained the process to order efficiently and recommended good food. We got a sashimi sampler, salmon flight, and a few smaller plates - all very fresh and good price. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and spacious given its in a mall. Would totally recommend! read more

New sushi place at montgomery mall. It's a pretty restaurant. The spicy edamame and sushi rolls were very good and the service was great. They are still in a soft opening but adding happy hour soon and should get their liquor license next week. read more

Took over an hour for food to come. Another 20 minutes to pay. Not busy at at all on a Sunday evening at 6pm

First visit - Ordering was simple and fast on their tablet. A server is always there if needed. We had: Rock shrimp: excellent flavor, size and batter. Spider roll, shrimp tempura roll were also excellent. The tuna sashimi was excellent and must have been Grade 1/premium. The beef teriyaki was very good. The default is well done. Next time I will ask for medium. Our service "Ling" was great! She came around just enough and wasn't intruding. The booths are comfortable and spaced apart great! We definitely will be back to try more! read more

So this placed opened for a month without me knowing it. It's supposedly owned by Nan Xiang downstairs, so there's some quality assurance. Thursday night, google reservation says nothing before 8PM, a phone call got me reservation as they were not busy. The place is very nice, comfortable and relaxing, but a bit empty as it just started. Decor definitely one of the nicer places I've been to locally. Service is excellent. Customers can order from computer, or for old timers like me, paper menu. Menu is a mix of Japanese and Thai, with a Chinese flare. The prices are on the higher side for folks like me who detest the post-pandemic price hikes but it's on par with the rest of the places around. The miso soup is delicate and delicious and I had to order a second one. The Thai is very flavorful and done nicely. For someone who is regular to Sister Thai, this is a notch above. The sashimi is fresh, thick cuts (def. beat the Japanese places around) and presented very well. Being a sushi die hard, I like my original flavor but it's slightly flavored like Nakazawa which gave it a bit of decoration also. Wasabi was fresh. The rock shrimp was large, juicy, crunchy and flavorful. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant and fine dining experience that I had checking out the newly opened places around the area. Being one of those who can tell whether a restaurant will survive or not, my thought is "please live and keep going." This is a fine place but suffers lack of marketing and a loser location out of the way in the mall. It's a gem! You gotta check it out. I think over time if they can keep up the quality, they will get enough higher end diners who appreciate the upscale and comforting experience with good food. This is one of those places you pray will do well so you can enjoy for years. Check them out! read more

Resturant was absolutely beautiful and staff was so friendly. Our server Sasa was so kind and helpful when we were stuck on deciding what to order. Food was absolutely delicious and prices were great. Only thing that could be improved is more desert options, but their menu is still adding new additions so hopefully that won't be an issue for too much longer. read more

Mixed feelings. Service was mixed. We had two servers. One was just ok the other was great. When we sat down two people one menu? Then they bring an ipad. Well the Ipad doesn't tell you anything about the actual dish needed the menu for the descriptions. I don't mind ordering on the ipad at all this needs to be better thought out. We only ordered Sushi so can not comment on any of the other food. Salmon avacado roll great lots of salmon & avacado ratio to rice nice. Dragon roll no very little eel mostly cucumber would not order again, and rice, soy paper roll I forgot the name speciality roll very good. The server brought the bill with a 22% tip already selected. Sorry, but that's a no from me. I probably would have left a 20% tip anyway, but there were some service issues. No one explained why we only had one menu or how we were supposed to figure out what some of the menu items actually were. And the two server confusion was odd who were we tipping? What also bothered me was that the suggested tip was calculated on the total bill, including tax. Maybe that doesn't bother some people, but it does bother me. In most cases, when a server preselects a tip amount, it's usually 20%, and I'm generally fine with that. But 22% on top of a less-than-clear dining experience and calculated on the post-tax total felt excessive. I know times are hard and I would try them again. read more

Shrimp Pad Thai was delicious very flavorful and moist. Sushi roll 'shiki roll' was fresh and good quality fish! We will be back! read more

The menu offers a broad selection. We've eaten here several times and the food ordered by my wife and I and by our friends was delicious on all occasions. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance makes Shiki Fusion the most attractive and relaxing restaurant in Montgomery Mall. read more

Heading to a movie and happily discovered Shiki Fusion is now open. The restaurant is beautiful with a lively vibe and fun music! The food was outstanding. We ordered mostly apps to try as many dishes as we could. The seaweed salad, chicken yakitori, chicken satay, shrimp shumai and rock shrimp were all excellent. We ordered the sashimi platter and having just returned from a trip to Japan can attest to how fresh the fish was and beautifully presented. It rivaled anything we had over there. The service was friendly and attentive and had almost none of the issues that often impact a new restaurant. We found the portions generous and fairly priced. We will absolutely return and as frequent movie goers this will be our first choice for dinner and a movie! read more

I don't make it a habit to leave poor reviews, generally I just won't return. But here I am leaving a less than stellar review...for a place we were excited to go and try as a family. The ambiance is fine, came in for dinner, and it was empty. No biggie, first ones to arrive for dinner and before a rush sounds amazing....however, the service was slow...painfully slow. Ordered a few items and it took about 45 min for it to arrive minus the small miso soup that came within 5 min of our order. Since we ordered three things, it didn't take long to finish, and given that it took so long to get the first order, we weren't going to wait around to order more. Asked for the wait staff via their iPad, and it was fifteen minutes before someone came to check us out.....who happens not to be our original server either. Food was fine, it is what I would expect from the price point. But there are plenty of other great sushi spots we could go to and get the same thing if not better. Maybe it is just our luck on service and on a slow night so there's no urgency to get food out and stuff?? read more
