SALTWATER Kitchen & Sushi

This restaurant is a gem - we can't stop coming back! Have eaten here about five times and the quality is consistent. The sushi is jam-packed with fresh fish, beautifully presented, and delicious. The lunch menu is available on Saturdays and is very reasonable. The pad thai is delicious, too. Service is friendly and attentive. We'll be back again soon and look forward to working our way through the entire menu! A top notch restaurant!

Excellent dining experience at SALTWATER Kitchen & Sushi in Mt. Airy. Quality sushi and sashimi in a casual atmosphere. To start we had the Sashimi Moriawase. It was fresh and had a great presentation. For entrees we had the Saltwater Seafood, large sea scallops, hibachi steak and shrimp, and two rolls. The Chef’s Special Volcano roll (grilled, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, chef’s sauce) and the garden roll (cucumber, avocado topped with avocado and mango). The scallops melted in your mouth, and the volcano roll was fire. See for yourself. The service was outstanding. Server was attentive and did an excellent job of explaining many of the items and his personal recommendations to us. We were happy to try here, and will be back soon.

Appetizers were good (coconut shrimp and lobster bites) then it went downhill. The ribeye was seasoned the way lamb would be and served with a giant branch of rosemary on top. Not the flavor I anticipated. The sushi was no better than grocery store sushi. Honestly, Wegmans sushi rice is better quality than here. The fish is sliced too thin for the nigiri sushi. The rice was hard and too cold for proper sushi. The waitress didn't ask how I'd like my steak cooked or if I needed my tea refilled. There was a fly that wouldn't leave the sushi platter alone. We aren't likely to return and definitely won't recommend.

So impressed with this place! The atmosphere was great - beautiful inside and very comfortable. They brought out a complimentary appetizer that was tempura crabstick and it was delicious, as well as complimentary miso soup! We ordered the Angry lobster roll, a roll with cucumber instead of seaweed/rice and a sweetheart roll. All amazing!

Very good service and nice atmosphere. Sushi was well prepared and served fresh. We tried a lot of their specialties and loved the Christmas tree sushi. Very happy with everything and they have a beautiful bar as well.
