Shoyou Sushi

**awesome, high quality sushi! Creative rollsI really like this place! I've gone a couple of times, and been impressed every time. I personally like the rolls the most. The soft-shell crab one was super creative and had amazing textures! I also like the baked dragon roll (with eel). They're usually pretty generous with the fish! The garnishing also makes everything so beautiful. Parking can be tricky since it's in Fed Hill. Street parking is generally free, if you can find a spot! The staff is always very friendly and quick with their service! I've always been seated very fast. The restaurant is pretty small and cozy.

I ordered pick up so may be that their food tastes different in house, but I felt their rolls to be too dense. They put a lot of imitation crab in the rolls (and don't say that on their descriptions) so it really takes away from any possible crunch that a roll could have. Imitation crab is fine but it's an overkill here. For the price, the rolls are quite big and have a moderate amount of rice. Would maybe go in store to try it for real, but wouldn't be ordering pickup again since they don't do delivery.

Shoyou has quickly become my favorite sushi spot in Baltimore. I've been three times in the last two months and it has never disappointed. I've been lucky with street parking, but I have also gone on weekdays of off peak hours. It's a small space, but I haven't had to wait. Service is good but a little slow. On Sundays there is no service and no alcohol sale so you order with a QR code, but someone still brings you the food. Just make sure to tip before the app closes your tab (despite me telling it to keep it open). Foodwise, I have ordered the Japanese Burrito EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. and it's been delicious every time. It comes with a sweet mayo based sauce but I would love some sort of spice element. Maybe some chopped jalapenos to complement the tuna? Still a delicious burrito, though. I've also gotten uni every time and it's pricey, but very fresh and creamy. All of their nigiri are fresh, yummy, and every bite has been good. I've also tried a few rolls like the spicy tuna and again, a hit. You also can't go wrong with any of the baked volcano rolls. If you want sushi, go here. If not, go and at least try the burrito once!

It's just... so good. Shoyou continues to be the best sushi in Baltimore - and I know that may not mean much since Baltimore has a severe lack of great sushi spots - but Shoyou delivers on quality, freshness, and presentation every damn time. Yes, it's in Fed Hill. Yes, parking can be tough. Yes, it's Baltimore city. What did you expect? I've actually always gotten lucky with a parking spot nearby. I've never had to wait for a table either. This past visit, we sat near the sushi bar area which was fun to watch the chefs work their magic. The table was quite sticky when we sat down but our server was really sweet and attentive and wiped it down for us as soon as I mentioned it. I know people are hyped over the specialty rolls here but being gluten free, I'm really limited with what I can have. I will also say that I personally think specialty rolls and cooked sushi is overrated. Why eat sushi if you can't taste the amazing flavors of the fish?We ordered a few rounds of salmon nigiri, fatty tuna nigiri, salmon sashimi, and a yellowtail maki roll. That fatty tuna is out of this world. And the sashimi? Delightful. The presentation is stunning and I love all the dishware here. I also love that they gave us some extra pieces of sashimi on our nigiri plate. So thoughtful!The sake selection could use some work but it's okay. I will totally be back for more when that next sushi craving hits.

The best quality Sushi in Baltimore. They also serve a wonderful vegetable tempura. I love their yellow fin tuna maki and the rolls are scrumptious. Great for a date or for takeout. The decor and staff are pleasant and inviting.

~ Your boy does not give out 5 stars so easily, but they deserve it. Everything I expected to be after reading comments and looking at some pictures. After leaving here, my heart, mind & stomach all agreed that is my #1 sushi spot in Baltimore. The service was great! I arrived at 11am or so and was greeted by a wonderful host. She was familiar with their menu, made great suggestions & and was always on time when I needed something. Kudos to her. Started with the Baked Mussels on the Half Shell and they were stunning !!! They are a must! You will never forget this taste. The juice was even amazing. 10/10. "The Baked Scallop California Roll " was good. First time trying scallops in my sushi. Just didn't like having hot scallops inside a cool roll. Threw me off just a little. 7/10. "The Sun-Kissed Roll" & " The Rainbow Special Roll" were my favorites. Absolutely fresh & smooth! I was in heaven !! 10/10. I also got the "Hot Night Baby! " which wasn't bad, but at this point, I was stuffed. Took that to go. 7/10While crushing, I had a bottle of Clean Slate (white wine). I think I paid around $120.00 for everything. Well worth it. This place was clean and cozy, & the temperature was great. It's neighbor parking, so it's not that bad, just watch out for the street signs. Hope you all enjoy it. #TeamDiesel#TeamDiesel4Evaaaa

Ordered takeout, which came in cute paper/plastic boxes with ginger and wasabi on the side. + Salmon Sashimi ($14 for 5 slices): over daikon, decent cuts, very tender (8/10)+ Sea Bream Sashimi ($14 for 6 slices): thin slices with radish, micro green, and sriracha. Super thin so didn't really taste the fish and the sriracha stood out (7/10)+ How Dare Unagi (eel) Roll ($26 for 8 pieces): quite pricy, but was a specialty roll with a whole eel filet on top. Filet wasn't too big, but very flavorful with the eel and imitation crab (7.3/10)

A solid sushi restaurant in Baltimore. Their fish is very fresh. Highly recommend their special rolls, especially lobster and eel.

Went there last night. Randomly. No reservations. They only take walkins and it's a very small small restaurant. Probably seats up to 40-50 people max maybe less but I was not counting. the food was absolutely phenomenal. I'd eat the sushi every day if I could. There was however only 3 staff members tending to everyone at any given moment. If they had one more server it likely would've cut the wait time down in half. But even the wait time wasn't terrible. I've had worse experiences. The food certainly made up for any "bad" or subpar service. Again the service was great we just had some longer wait times but not longer to be totally alarmed by. We had a great time and really enjoyed the food and the staff hostess busser and server was very kind and polite all night.

This 5 star spot immediately went on my food Instagram @AmandaTheEpicure because of how delcious it is! I had been wanting to try Shoyou for a long time. Everyone told me this was the best sushi in Baltimore and I definitely agree! The rolls are creative and we liked both rolls we ordered. One was a crab roll with eel on top and one was a roll with scallops and seaweed salad on top. The presentation was beautiful for both. More importantly, they were delcious! The same goes for the salmon nigiri which was a generous portion and tasted very fresh. The gyoza was crispy which is just how I like it (although they ran out of dumpling sauce which was disappointing). Every bite made us happy! Next time I want sushi, I will be coming back here.
