A short walk from our hotel. Delicious sushi and teriyaki for the non-sushi eaters. Similar pricing to ours back home.

Newly renovated and gorgeous. I've been coming to the place for years when Bethesda was still the go to spot to go out for night life without having to go all the way to DC. However, since I'm older and "wiser" I don't go out to get shwasted anymore. But Hanaro aka Kusshi Bethesda, is still a nice sushi spot to chill and have a drink. The sushi is still as good as it has always been and since it's now part of the Kusshi brand, the quality of fish that you come to expect is definitely present here even if everything around this area is starting to die off. I've always sat at the bar to have a drink and food so the bartenders are always so nice and talk to you if you want or leave you alone if you don't. So service is great!

I had the Crunchy roll and a lychee margarita. The service, food and drinks were amazing! I’ll definitely be back!!!

We went for dinner during the soft opening. The food was excellent and service was great. Everyone we encountered was friendly. We had pork gyoza (my daughter wanted another serving it was so good), tonkatsu ramen, soft shell crab tempura, and a selection of sushi. You can see they are still working on the atmosphere but the kitchen was on point. We will definitely be back.

I used to really like this place, however since the name change the quality has gone downhill. The Teriyaki dishes feel incredibly watered down and it's obvious the vegetables are just throwaway from whatever wasn't used during the day. The sushi rice is gummy and even the quality of fish has gone down recently. Not to mention the prices went up!Going to have to find a new favorite Japanese place.

They were awkwardly surprised that we walked in.They gave us a menu, but most of the menu wasn’t available. Not sure why they don’t just print out what they have available instead of going through the back and the fourth of “do you have” and “no we don’t have”. Vibe is a little bit bro with pretty bad lighting, obnoxiously large televisions, and poor acoustics.If it’s only carry out, why do you have silverware on the tables? tell us before seating us.

Both me and my wife got food poisoning from eating the sushi here. Stay away the fish is not safely prepared or stored.

This is the kitchen that your food is coming from. You can see it Yourself from the street.

Decent sushi for average price for the area. We got the cucumber, avocado, and cream cheese maki and the cherry blossom roll. The cherry blossom roll was good and I would get it again.

Hate to write the obit for this restaurant, but it has to be. Ordered take-out tonight from this place (that's all they do now) which was pretty good during the early (2020) parts of the pandemic, but the quality has gone precipitously down hill. By precipitously, I mean sushi that tastes "musty," a word I've never used to describe raw fish. This is a warning. I've ordered sushi more than a hundred times in my life; lived several years in Japan; bought it from grocery stores; but never until tonight had sushi that needed to be tossed out. The rolls tasted and smelled like an old warehouse, the sushi as well. Everything tasted horrible.None of this is helped by the fact that Hanaro the restaurant is no more, and what remains are a bunch of dirty cardboard boxes in a former dining room / bar. Hanaro may stick around for a little while longer, but they won't be seeing me again.None of this is to knock the friendly service staff, but again, this is take-out only, so there really isn't a service aspect of the restaurant to speak of.

They are only available for take-out. They don't mention it anywhere in the website or Google page. Make sure you don't go in there for dine in.

I'm absolutely amazed by the service. My daughter and I came in for a special treat to celebrate but she can be quite the picky eater. I explained this to the host and she was so great at helping us. It's very clear that their staff up front is familiar with the menu and how picky kids can be. We had a very complicated order(basically a Chirashi bowl with no raw fish) however that's not something that was easily accommodated. She was very good at explaining an alternative and organizing it in a way that wouldn't make it insanely expensive for a 6 year olds meal. I'm so grateful for the time she spent on us and will definitely be ordering again.

Absolutely amazing restaurant! Just as good as another place I like to go called Kusshi Ko! Can't wait to go back and have the Uni and Ikura, it was so fresh!!
