I really enjoyed both. The fish was really tender and I liked the fact that the wasabi was placed in between the fish and rice for the nigiri sushi and inside the roll for the tekka maki.

I'm still not a fan of their rolls, but the sushi is OK.<br /><br />But...go to Fuji for the Japanese food. It's the real deal as far as I can tell. The noodles are yummy and the sauces spot on.

It is a wonderful place with fresh, fabulous food. It is our favorite sushi place in all of Columbia/Ellicott City. Yes, each sushi place has a different character and "flavor" but we go to Fuji three times for each one visit to any other place. And we go a good bit because sushi is our family's favorite food.<br /><br />The chef at Kim D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-44204534829372629282011-03-01T23:37:41.435-05:002011-03-01T23:37:41.435-05:00Alas, Aikiko, it's not in the Baltimore area a...Alas, Aikiko, it's not in the Baltimore area at all, in fact, it's over the bridge in Delaware, but I recently discovered a phenomenal, affordable *authentic* Japanese restaurant if you're ever in Wilmington. It's Takumi at Independence Mall, 1601 Concord Pike. They have some spectacular original small dishes along with sushi and sashimi that honestly, took my taste buds back toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-28889878470281752202011-03-01T21:05:19.557-05:002011-03-01T21:05:19.557-05:00Well..

With me being half Japanese, it really bothers me when I see a Japanese restaurant and to find that the owners are not Japanese..

In other words, if you like plain, unseasoned, improperly cooked white rice and huge slabs of low grade fish, any old place selling "sushi" will do.
