Neko Sushi

This is my favorite sushi place in DMV area. The owner is professional: the size of nigiri sushi with balanced rice and raw fish ratio, and provide pre-order plater wit the perfect condition without making them in advance so that they do not stored in fridge which is great. Below is $100 plater with Sashimi, Nigiri, and rolls.

They are true gem to Rockville! Owners are very friendly (married couple), the husband is a chef and is very quiet and his wife does cashier and other non-sushi related food prep. Their poke-rice is so amazing, full of freshly chopped sashimi! The portion is so big that you can get one to share with another adult. Their sushi/sashimi platters are very affordable and beautiful, delicious arrangement of fresh quality fish! Highly recommend during COVID era where you don’t feel comfortable dining out anyways.

Pretty decent, it’s not bad at all but it’s also not great. Obviously since it’s sitting in a grocery store it’s cold sushi. The pricing is also moderate-ish. It’s kinda mediocre all the way around. I wouldn’t repeatedly go there with all the other sushi options around.

I ordered $130 platter and when i went to pick up at the scheduled time, it was not ready. The sushi man didnt even apologize and didnt tell me when it would be ready. I waited over 20mins. He put like one soy sauce and wasabi for big order so i had to ask for more and i requested chopsticks but he didnt give. Portion seemed small for $130 compared to other places. You need to be local or constant goer to have good service here. If your phon number is from another state, they wont care.

Even though the sushi restaurant is located in a grocery store, I can confirm that they make all their sushi fresh in the morning. If you are unsure, go early in the morning when lotte first opens and you will see them making the sushi. Also, they make fresh sushi made to order if you want that option as well (it is available over the phone or business website and possible depending on how busy the store is throughout the day). All you have to do is ask for sushi made to order (good if you have allergies or want specific things in your sushi). Some restaurants "may" be cheaper but the quality isn't the same and the cheaper places tend to use old rice and fish that isn't great quality especially if they are a sit down restaurant because they would have to cut costs somewhere to be profitabl
