A Sushi Lovers Find!

by TheCakeCrew at Citysearch

We have started going just for the sushi every Wednesday from my office. The chefs are great, and are very nice! They give you a warm towel when you arrive. Try the Plum Wine.. they have two kinds, white and red. I highly recommend the red. The steakhouse (teppan or steam table) is very basic, same as you would find anywhere else. Go for the Sushi. Really fresh, and the chefs always make it look so artistic and beautiful, and it tastes just as fabulous!

My husband and I go at least once a month, and if the chefs see us kissing.. they always design our plate in a heart or dragon. I highly advise you try this place out! It's very easy to find, located in the Waugh Chapel Village center in Gambrills. Avoid Saturday dinner rush, you WILL wait, and may end up sitting at a steam table to eat sushi, it's best at the bar.

We recommend the Tropical Thunder Roll, The Amazing Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, the Gyoza (steamed and pan fried pork dumplings), and any one of the special rolls. Unlike some sushi places, they give you a very generous portion of Edamame, which comes out steaming hot with salt and a lime wedge.

My only complaint, I wish this place really was just a sushi bar. It's annoying at times to be enjoying your sushi and have big bursts of flames or Happy Birthday penetrating the air every five minutes. Also, like almost every Anne Arundel county sushi place, they don't make Tuna Tatake.. grr!

• Pros: Fresh seafood, lots of choices for rolls, generous portions, good service when not busy
• Cons: Noisy when steam tables filled, always a wait, sushi bar is small
