Roppongi Restaurant

Absolutely the best and most authentic sushi in Frederick! We ate there at least once a week when I lived in Maryland… and still make it a regular stop when I’m in town several times each year. The yellowtail, salmon, and spicy tuna are my go-​to orders. The owners are amazing… they make you feel like family! LOVE this place!

The sushi was sooo good and fresh! The owner was really friendly. No need to go in depth. It is an awesome place and def will return. If I had one complaint it would be to have more of an option of sushi to chose from.

Went in and asked about the sushi bar, THE OWNER VERBALLY ATTACKED ME, not sure what his deal was? He then told me to get lost. Maybe he was having a bad night. Any way I love sushi and eat it once a week. and always look at the sushi bar first to check out the fish quality.
I wish we could give places negative stars. I have worked in the service industry for many years and have never seen any one treated the way I was by a restaurant owner

Service was excellent. They couldn’t have been nicer but the sushi was disgusting. It just tasted off… still on the hunt for a good sushi place

Truly the best sushi in Frederick. The owner is very nice, and they have excellent lunch specials.

My mom and I saw the sign for «best sushi» off the main road, and decided to try it. Bad idea.
We apparently walked in right when the owner was opening up. We probably should have walked right out, but he insisted that we come in and so we did.
The owner was extremely nice. He is actually Japanese for those who were wondering, and was a very nice man. And because of this, I couldn’t stand to tell him how the food was in person, which we should have — but we just couldn’t.
My mom ordered the negamaki udon, which is udon soup that was to include seafood, shrimp tempura, chicken and vegetables. I ordered sushi (3 maki rolls) and seaweed salad.
Our total was almost $ 50 — which I thought was A LOT for all that we ordered.
And the quality didn’t help.
My mom’s soup was super sweet and all the ingredients were NOT fresh. Her egg was sour. There was no seafood. And no shrimp tempura. Instead, the soup had gyoza and sweet shrimp, the one generally used for sushi.
I had sushi, and I ordered generic simple rolls — salmon, crab and tuna.
Both fishes were NOT fresh, in fact they were bad. The crab was really bitter. Both my mom and I could tell the fish was old. It was awful, I ate a few bites and couldn’t keep eating.
The food was so bad. And $ 50 down the drain.
We will never be back. NEVER.

Although I never actually visited his restaurant, but growing up as his nephew, I have tasted his food when I was young — to my delight. I can tell you that Danny Ko is an extremely talented chef (also gifted in other areas as well) and I’d highly recommend his restaurant!

Best sushi I’ve ever had, hands down, ESPECIALLY the eel! The very friendly owner came by our table as we waited for our meal, and told us all about where they get their ingredients from, and all sorts of other stuff. Now I live in Milwaukee and wish I’d gone to Roppongi more often!

Sushi is still up to par but over time they have become run down and their dishes are horrible now and the tea isnt the same and the miso soup is watered down. Don’t expect a good eat unless you’re only getting sushi. I got the teriyaki chicken and the sauce was so flavorless the price on the dish isn’t worth the dissatisfaction.

The owner (I presume) prepared our food and was a pleasure to work with. The tempura rolls were out of this world. Interior ambience is not upscale but I was ordering take out anyway. The food was terrific and the prices were too. The service was the best part, and I enjoy giving my business to people who care.

Vile the worst sushi, no the worst restaurant I have eaten at in years… .First sushi is about the rice here it’s over cooked under seasoned sour mush. the fish was warm and tasted just on the edge of spoiled even the soy sauce was nasty watered down generic garbage. I also ordered a spider roll only to get a blob of ultra greasy fried batter shaped sorta like a soft shell crab might, only to find after spitting the nasty clump of rancid greasy batter out onto my plate that it contained no soft shell crab there were however some tiny flecks of non batter material of unknown origin that the owner insisted were soft shell crab. bottom line after about three bites that I regret taking I left the remaining swill on the stupid sushi boat and left. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.

I used to be a regular here.
Feel free to order off menu!!!
I am not sure if the owners are actually Japanese, and if the food is authentic. It doesn’t look like it
Now that Miyako is open earlier for lunch (across the street) we go there often. That sushi chef at Mitako is Japanese, his name is Matsumoto.

Haven’t been here in a while, but glad I came back. This really is the best sushi in Frederick. Also, the staff remembered me despite the fact it has been well over a year since I last ate there.

For sushi in Maryland this place is fantastic! My favorites include the quail egg, tuna nigiri and spider roll! The frederick roll has crab, abovado and eel — also a must try!

I love sushi but can’t handle too much rice. When letting the sushi chef/​owner know, he introduced the Temaki roll –shaped like a waffle come with just veggies.
I had a Spicy Yellowtail and Tuna made this way. DELICIOUS! Although it lacks ambiance, this small hole in the wall has the better quality sushi than I’ve had anywhere in Frederick.

This was the worst sushi I’ve ever had. Seriously. The sushi you can pick up from the deli at Giant Eagle is better than this stuff. I can’t imagine what garbage people must eat on the regular to consider this good.

I don’t eat sashimi or raw sushi so this review is solely for the veggie options only.
I love the sushi here, everything I’ve tried has always been super fresh; the staff is very nice and attentive. To make it all better, the sushi chef is very quick so it’s never an extremely long wait.
Deff a hidden sushi gem, forget about the other over priced sushi joints; this is the real deal here.

Recently or somewhat recently moving to back to the Frederick area there of course have been some adjustments, traffic on 270, traffic on 15, and probably one of the most difficult was finding myself so far away from Yoyogi! Coming to terms with the fact that there isn’t any good sushi in Frederick has been difficult!
Well I stand corrected… tried Roppongi for the first time a week ago and it was great! This is the first on the list as far as branching out and trying Frederick area sushi and I was pleasantly surprised. The prices were great and the quality good as well. We ordered from the road so trying to navigate the menu/​options was a little difficult but everything we got was great. Philly roll, spicy tuna, salmon roll. This was our novice order, but we are ready to dive in next time!

Excellent sushi at a reasonable price. The spider roll (my favorite) was outstanding while the yellowtail maki roll and the shrimp tempura roll were excellent as well. This place Is a great choice for the sushi lover.

I literally ran in there on my way in to ALDI’s cause I was seriously craving a salmon and avocado roll. I ordered it to go, and explained I liked more avocado than salmon. Grabbed my stuff at ALDI’s and returned to pick up– hit me that it was only $ 4.50– I’m not sure, but I think the so-​so sushi at Giant Eagle and the better but still grocery store Sushi at Wegmans is way more than $ 4.50.
Fresh. Sweet and vinegary perfectly textured rice. Lots of avocado, less salmon (like I asked for) Crispy Nori and heavy on the sesame seeds. Flavorful wasabi paste and fresh tasting ginger. YUM.
All eaten on they way home. I’ll definetly be back for dinner soon.
