There are some good food items, but don't expect to be overly impressed by the quality. Maybe it's because I was born and raised in Seattle and in my 10 years of living on the East Coast. I realize most Asian restaurants have different standards, but the food here is just not good. And I'm not even saying that in the sense of, oh I don't like this dish--I mean it more so in, it tastes like plastic because it's so artificial tasting and looking if feels like it was the cheapest microwaveable thing they could find.On top of that, because I live in the area I've been here a few times and I swear half of the time there's a kid working on elementary school homework (like I can see the level of material) who serves me my food...

Sushi is always solid. Nice service and the inside is always clean. 10/10 recommend if you're in the area!

Decided to stop by late on a Friday after movie night. There were lots of tables available and the atmosphere was pretty nice. We were greeted pretty quickly upon arriving and seated immediately. After perusing the menu we decided on the Volcano Roll and I believe the Sunshine Roll. When our meal arrived I found the rice on the outside of both rolls to be extremely dry and I found the taste of them both to be unremarkable. On a positive note our food did arrive at our table quickly however I can't recommend this restaurant and don't anticipate returning.

I've been to 18-8 many times and am always very happy with my food. Their lunch specials are really good with a pretty wide selection available for a fairly reasonable price especially because good sushi can really get expensive.For lunch, I recommend the sashimi bento box (pictured). It comes with rice, salad, California roll, two fried sushi pieces, and then a good sized sashimi platter.I have also had many of their special rolls and the lobster mango is my favorite. If you have never had mango in sushi rolls before, I highly recommend it!Just be mindful if you do takeout or pickup that it will be a very long time and their estimates will always be like 1/2 of the actual time.

I absolutely love the decor in the restaurant. The Koi fish painting on the wall is absolutely gorgeous. Not to mention they have the most beautiful bowl in the bathroom. I give the food a 10 out of 10 whether it's the sushi or the miso soup which is my personal favorite. Service is always super quick and the staff there is so kind and so friendly. I usually visit there like two or three times a week.One of the best sushi spots I have come across in Baltimore L

18-8 is one of my favorite neighborhood spots for sushi! I got a ton of takeout from them during the pandemic and was always satisfied with how carefully they packaged each order and made sure to pay attention to the special instructions. Now they are open for indoor seating although I've yet to actually take advantage of that. Located within the Rotunda shopping center, parking can be a bit challenging depending on the day and time. I normally get some combination of sushi, miso soup, and maybe a fried appetizer of sorts. They have a pretty good lunch Maki deal during the week that comes with two or three sushi rolls of choice, a salad with ginger dressing and miso soup. It's a lot of food for a good price ($10-$13 depending on how many rolls you get)! I will say the one thing I got from here that I was not a fan of was the bento box. I ordered it with the salmon and it was lacking in flavor. That said, I haven't tried any of the other meat entrees so maybe the chicken or beef might be better?Pro tip: order through their website for pickup to avoid extra fees from third party apps. It's usually ready within 15-20 minutes!

We have been coming to 18-8 for years. Great sushi restaurant in Baltimore. Family run restaurant. Enjoyed the cloudy sake and would highly recommend if you have never tried it.

Another takeout dinner from 18-8 and overall very good. They are available on Doordash but with a significant markup in prices so if you can pick up your order you'll save a fair amount. The food is not quite as good as Sho You in Fed Hill (which is the best sushi in Baltimore) and is a bit more expensive, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. For appetizers we had the shumai dumplings (steamed shrimp dumplings), the Gyoza (pan fried pork dumplings), seaweed salad, edamame, spicy edamame and duck roll. The dumplings, both kinds, were fantastic and the ponzu-like dipping sauce they came with was perfect. The seaweed salad was standard and good and duck roll was okay but had very little duck in it. I would suggest adding more duck meat to make this a better dish. The edamame was standard but the spicy edamame left something to be desired. It was covered in a kind of spicy mayo that wasn't all that good. I would not order it again.We had 3 special rolls, the Tiger, Dragon King and Tuna Amazing and one regular roll, the Alaska (salmon, cucumber and avocado). The Tiger is Salmon, eel, topped with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, eel, spicy mayo sauce, crunch, masago & scallion on top. It was good but didn't blow me away. Same with the Tuna Amazing which was good but not as flavorful as I would have thought given the interesting mix of different kinds of tuna. It is White tuna tempura, spicy tuna, avocado, topped with pepper tuna and a special sauce, caviar, and scallion. The Dragon King was the best, with Soft shell crab and snow crab in sesame soy wrapper topped with eel and avocado. I would get this one again for sure but I'm not as sure about the others. Don't get me wrong, they were good, just not fantastic.The nigiri was quite well prepared. We had tuna, salmon, yellowtail, unagi, scallop and octopus. All were very good quality and delicious fish. Reasonable serving size as well.If I have the time to drive across town to get to Sho You, that will always be my top choice for sushi but 18-8 is still very good and a lot closer so we'll be back and if you live in the area I suggest you check it out as well.

Service is great and fast. However, the quality of my rainbow roll was not good at all. It is probably the worst rainbow roll I have ever had. A small layer and piece of fish skin was on one of the rolls.
