Great Sushi. Really impressed that we cam on a Monday evening and they didn't have the usual japanese-fish specials. However, what they did have was outstanding. Would like to go back when they are fully loaded and ready to go. read more

First off I wanna say I'm from the Bay Area where the sushi and seafood and ethnic food is beyond anything else I've had anywhere else in the US. Sushibruce is my new favorite sushi restaurant of all time. The fish was so fresh, I was impressed with the size of the fish and the servings. Everything tasted so yummy. Nothing had too much sauce which is something I appreciate in a sushi restaurant. You could really taste each flavor. The presentation and atmosphere was incredible. All the staff were so kind. I'd recommend this as a good date spot, somewhere to go with friends or family or even to celebrate. It is rather quiet in the restaurant which I liked. You can have good conversation. Also they have limited soft shell crab but if they do have it I 100% recommend it. We really loved the staff they were so helpful in answering our questions and too many requests. read more

I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I've updated my review! I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite sushi spots in Baltimore now. Whatever issues they had with service when they first opened have seemed to resolve itself now. Every meal I've had here since has been delicious and enjoyable. I recently came by with my friend on a Sunday for sushi and really enjoyed the gluten-free menu options and the hot sake. read more

We came to SushiBruce-Ya for dinner, and it was fabulous! I had come once before and was not quite as impressed as I always am with the original location, but this time it hit all the marks. We got: - The dumpling gyoza appetizer - The garlic edamame appetizer - The Japanese burrito, a mix of nigiri and California roll Everything was absolutely delicious, and the fish was melt-in-your-mouth, just as I always remember it at the original location. All-around fantastic meal. read more

Was visiting Baltimore from CA and honestly have to say this is some of the best sushi I've ever had in my whole life. If the presentation wasn't enough the flavor and the QUALITY of the food blew my mind. If you're considering coming here out of the other sushi options in the area... just come here! I wish I had more photos but I finished them too fast. read more

I love Sushibruce Ya! Not typically packed and super fresh sushi. I can often get Uni here also. I wish the drink options were more extensive but I'm never mad at a good sake read more

I dined in at Sushibruce Ya and had the Sure Thing special roll -- and I enjoyed it and would order it again. The roll had spicy salmon and avocado layered over a shrimp tempura crunch base, finished with slices of jalapeño, a drizzle of soy dressing, sriracha, and masago. The roll wad fresh and flavorful and loaded. I also ordered the seaweed salad, which was a nice way to start the meal. For drinks, I tried their hot sake. I'm not very familiar with sake, so I'm trying to explore more. See the picture to see the ceramic sake flask and cup it was served in, which I enjoyed. Regarding the service, everyone was kind when they did come by, but it felt like I spent more time waiting to be noticed than actually being checked on. Sometimes this can happen with restaurants but I don't know if that's their norm. The restaurant is small but fits a good amount of tables for the size. The ambiance is set by the dim lighting. All in all, I would return. I'd like to try more rolls and see what future dining experiences have in store. read more

High quality sushi, rolls, and other dishes! Enjoyed the garlic edemame, tempura vegetables, and any of their specialty rolls. On the pricier side but certainly worth it for a night out or special occasion. Parking can be difficult, especially on the weekends, as only street parking is available in this area of Fells. Cozy, modern interior. read more

Tried this spot with some friends. We really enjoyed their rolls. The service could have been better, it took pretty long to get anyone's attention. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or a night out with the girls. The rolls are very flavorful. It does feel as though most rolls have their base as a kani or a California roll inside, but still good. read more

Always one of my favorite places in Baltimore. Stopped by for lunch. Was sat quickly, they were a bit busier than usual but service was still good, welcoming and friendly as expected. Ordered a sushi burrito, shrimp and crab roll, and the lunch poke salad. Everything was good. The shrimp and crab roll was nice and flavorful, the poke salad was excellent fresh and delicious with a great tasting dressing, the burrito was as always excellent lots of spicy tuna, crab and shrimp in it. For lunch time this place was chill, not too loud and crazy, chill vibes. Plenty of street parking nearby. read more

Food: 8/10 Bruce's sushi is always full of creativity, blending flavors from different cultures in such a fun and delicious way. We tried the crispy Firecracker roll (8/10), the Crab Salad (7/10) which had a nice touch of Maryland flavor, and some fresh sashimi (8/10). We also had the Japanese Burrito (8/10) from the specialty roll section. Everything was thoughtfully made. Bruce's sushi feels like a series of little surprise boxes--beautifully shaped, richly flavored, and always exciting to explore with friends. Service: 8/10 The staff was polite and genuinely friendly, making the experience feel welcoming. Ambience: 8.5/10 Comfortable and well-lit. The decor strikes a nice balance between cultural character and modern design, making the space both cozy and stylish. read more

This is the best sushi I've had in a while! I heard recommendations about this sushi place while in Baltimore area, so we had to check it out. The interior was chic and our server was super friendly and helpful! We got the calamari for the appetizer and rolls to share (Hot Night Baby and Full Option which are both not pictured). I also got the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail nigiri. The fish was super fresh and all the rolls were delicious. The size of the rolls was also big- no skimping compared to a lot of other sushi restaurants. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back! read more

Such a great sushi spot! I love Shoyu in Fed Hill so it's great this place is also by the same owner. The inside is intimate and nicely decorated. There was one staff member working the front during the lunch timeframe. My friend and I ordered hot tea which came in a cute teapot. For food, my friend ordered the Fresh Tofu Salad, Avocado, and Vegetable rolls while I ordered the Spicy Tuna Tempura and Play rolls. My rolls were huge and so filling. Both had lovely presentations and were so flavorful. We really enjoyed dining here and hope to be back soon! read more

Best sushi in Baltimore! Sushibruce doesn't take reservations but we timed our Saturday evening dinner early enough to avoid a wait to be seated. It's a medium-sized, beautifully designed dining room with lots of different textures on the walls. The adult beverage menu includes Sake, Wine and Beer (not a full bar) but the sushi is without a doubt the star. Fresh fish and creative combinations make for delicious special rolls like "Who's Your Daddy" (spicy tuna and shrimp tempura, topped with seared albacore and avocado) and "Hot Night Baby" (spicy tuna and avocado on top of a shrimp tempura crunch roll). I was impressed with the amount of food so the prices reflect that. Can't wait to go back and try more rolls! read more

I came to Sushibruce Ya on a Saturday evening. No reservation needed because it was hardly anyone in there around 6pm. Sat at a booth and had some Miso soup to start on this cold evening. Can't go wrong with Miso. We then wanted to order the Creamy Tempura Shrimp appetizer but was told they are sold out of it for a while. Saw this on the menu prior to coming so I was really looking forward to trying it which is reason why I had to deduct a star. They were also out of a particular Sake I wanted to try so I opted for a glass of white wine. What saved the day were the Ultimate Special Rolls. The Sweet Honey Roll was to die for and a mouthful. The Who's Your Daddy Roll had a nice, spicy kick to it. I ordered the salmon tempura roll to go because the other 2 were just fulfilling enough. All the specialty rolls were excellent and I would return to try those. Hopefully management will bring back the creamy tempura shrimp appetizer soon. read more

Excellent all around Decor warm and inviting. The kind of place that's perfect for date night. Lots of small 2 tops helps lean into this cozy mood Beer selection wasn't large but fun! Beyond the standard Sapporo and Kirin they has several Japanese beers. I had a bright green Kyoto Matcha IPA. You don't see that very often! It was great 4 pages of progressively more intricate rolls and sashimi. They are not tight packed and the fillings were more gently incorporated. Again... new to me ... but excellent. The standards of California Roll and Spicy tuna were excellent ... The Hawaiian Poke Tuna was a show stopper! We actually ended w Gyoza! They were some of the best we ever had. Service was quick and helpful. Price was high but quality / value was delivered. read more

Even though they don't do reservations, we were able to stop in on Valentine's night and be added to the waitlist, and seated within 15 minutes! This may have been the best sushi I've had in baltimore. Insanely fresh, fairly priced, and great portions. The miso soup and firecracker appetizers were also dieeee for. Service was slower-paced, but considering the occasion and the quality of food, the time to relax was appreciated. They even gave us a special roll on the house(i think it was due to how long we waited for our main order) which was a very nice touch! The vibes inside are just too cute and perfect for a date night. We will be back read more

Sushibruce Ya - Salmon Nigiri Shrimp and Crab Roll Who's Your Daddy Roll (lol) - Japanese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Came in here to eat solo.. it was the day after Thanksgiving. I ordered the garlic edamame which was really delish. I had a few nigiri but what really got me irritated was when I asked the server about my maki roll. I explained that the roll I received was not maki...I said the seaweed is supposed to be outside and her explanations was there are different rolls and if I wanted to change. I was flabbergasted because she clearly had no clue what I was talking about. I didn't know they added gratuity which I don't appreciate. It's very telling when a restaurant does that or if the server does it on her own. Either way, I will not be going back. The sushi was not all that great. The rice was wet not sticky that's probably why the rolls turned out like that. read more

~ Ok .. Ok .. I'm putting this top 5 for Sushi in Baltimore. Everything was delicious.. fresh.. & attractive.. The only issue was it was only one lady taking orders and bringing out food. I had to get a lil extra when flagging her down. Def ain't my style. I need attention my loooove. Lol As far as the food ... Bomb !! I ordered the house salad, shrimp shumai .. spicy tuna roll, California roll & spicy tuna tempura roll. Also added cream cheese on all my sushi. Solid for sure. I have nothing negative to say about any dish. This will be one of my go-to places for sure. It's down Fells, so parking can be a lil tough. Very clean .. a nice ambiance. Top 5! Top 5! Top 5 !! Hope you enjoy it. #TeamDiesel4Evaaaa!! read more

The quality of sushi is unmatched. We love Sushi Bruce and have been getting sushi from Bruce for 11 years at this point when we used to go to Shoyou Sushi in Fed. We regularly order carry out from Sushibruce Ya and just can no longer look past the fact that when we order 6+ rolls and 20+ pieces of nigiri, we get one tiny scoop of wasabi for that entire order. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's happened with every order we've ever made, which is at least 10 times at this point. read more

Apparently, this week is the best week to be in Fells Point! I had researched and found this place weeks ago, and we went for a late lunch. There was one other couple in this well-maintained and clean restaurant, so we were seated immediately and subsequently asked for our drink requests. I was in charge of ordering for both of us; first a cold sake and then one of each of the lunch specials. My smile was ear to ear with each bite of the California, Spicy Tuna, and Shrimp Tempura rolls, but I did a happy dance with the spicy salmon roll. Ooh, what was the magic in this one? Highly recommended for excellent sushi! read more

A friend and I stopped in for lunch on Friday and were both impressed by the upscale yet cozy ambiance of the restaurant. We were the only one dining in so service was very fast. Our waitress was prompt and friendly. We both got the lunch special which was a sashimi poke salad for $19. It was absolutely delicious! The dressing was fresh and so was the sashimi. For the price, I wish we had gotten a little bit more of the meat though. Overall, this sushi restaurant is more expensive than some other in the area but high quality and vibes inside for a date or occasion! read more

First time visiting their new location which is extremely clean and quaint. Street parking was a breeze on a Wednesday evening right before sunset. Upon entering, we were able to pick our own table immediately. Service was quick and the food outstanding, per the usual. So glad the integrity and commitment to their patrons has not changed despite expanding. Please note, if you dine in 18% gratuity is automatic; which I feel is a disservice to waiters/waitresses but I digress. 10/10 absolutely recommend-our favorite sushi place. Cheers to a great time! read more

Food: decently surprised! It was a filled roll and the quality of the ingredients did not skimp. I actually like it a lot and I'm pretty picky with my rolls. Service: our waiter was really nice and pleasant to interact with. He kindly told us about closing. Ambiance: it's a smaller place and a little dark, but it brings an upscale ambiance. 8/10 - only for the fact I didn't try their fresh sushi. read more

This place is cool. From the moment you walk in, you pick up on the chill hangout vibes accented by woven basket lamps, wooden panels, and light blue lighting under the wall. This is a place you go to have great sushi and hang out with friends. Our server was fantastic, she was super attentive and very friendly. We started with a California roll and salmon nigiri. The maki California roll had a bit too much mayonnaise in the filling for my taste, but it was still delicious. I ate the sake (salmon) nigiri so fast I couldn't even take a picture, but the salmon was sooo tender and velvety, and it was gorgeously marbled with white stripes - it was picture perfect sake. The nigiri was so delicious we ordered the maguro (tuna) and the hamachi (yellowtail). We were stuffed, but committed, so we also had the Rainbow Roll, which was absolutely delicious but we basically had two California rolls. When I come back, I'm trying one of the rolls everyone raves about: Hot Night Baby and Sweet Honey Roll, I'm coming for you! read more
