This is a hidden gem! The service is quick and friendly, the rolls are fresh and tasty, and they have great menu options. I'm a huge fan and I wish more people knew about this place!

Melt in your mouth sushi. Get the Amazing Tuna roll. Out of this world!!! Reasonable prices. Really friendly staff. Lunch specials. Bento boxes. Forget the street parking, there's a parking structure behind the restaurant. Huge sushi platters are available for carry out only. Great price and perfect for parties.

Totally underrated sushi restaurant! I lived in Japan for the better part of my adult life and every time I come to Maki Bar (at least once a month at this point) I'm impressed by the size of the cuts of sashimi, the amount and flavor of the tempura shrimp udon (my go to order!), and all my friends and family I've brought have been equally blown away. Their special rolls have all tasted great too. The Salmon Special is the photo I've attached and was a dream for a salmon lover like me! Can't recommend them enough!

This is literally the best Japanese restaurant. They have the best shrimp shuma. The service and atmosphere is awesome too! Little pricey but totally worth every penny. Awesome place in DC if you're looking for some authentic Japanese food!

Fresh and taste really good. Their special rolls are awesome. One of the best sushi places I’ve ever been to. Will definitely come back again!

Hands down one of the best sushi places I have been to in regards to the fresh sushi, customer service, and menu options. For my dine-in, I ordered the Amazing Tuna (the one with the Tempura Flakes on top), Spicy Tuna Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, Boston Roll, and the Salmon Roll. I came for dinner and the customer service was exceptional. She very attentive, made sure our waters were filled, and gave great recommendations. The itamae (sushi chef) made each sushi roll with precision and very flavorful. He also gave great sushi recommendations especially with the Amazing Tuna and Fresh Salmon roll. After dinner, the waitress gave me a yummy chewy strawberry candy. She was super sweet and friendly! For my take-out, I ordered the Alaska Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Boston Roll, and Amazing Tuna. It was just as delicious as if I was to dine-in. I highly recommend this sushi restaurant and I will definitely be coming back here when I am next in town.

One of the best sushi places in Bethesda. What makes a great sushi is freshly made rice and fish. You will love their rice and fish always fresh. Great and friendly service. Limited seating capacity. Everything priced right!

Super delicious soup and the noodles were so fresh and chewy!!! Very light broths that werent heavy either, and perfectly cooked veggies and meats!
