I was in the area to meet with my sushi-loving sister. We purposely selected Kusshi because we wanted to go all out and get a sushi boat. Kusshi did not disappoint. The amount of sushi on the boat was just massive and we did our best to finish it between three people, but couldn't. The service was good, parking was a bit tricky, though. Overall a pretty great place. Come hungry!

Kusshi in downtown Bethesda offers an exceptional dining experience with fresh, expertly prepared sushi and generous portions. The chicken katsu, salmon avocado hand roll, sushi roll, dragon roll, and salmon teriyaki were all delicious, with the sushi's freshness and quality standing out. Entrée portions were generous, leaving us with leftovers for the next day, and the pricing was reasonable given the quality and size.The staff were accommodating, and the kid-friendly atmosphere made it perfect for a family outing. For dessert, the mochi was a delightful ending, with the sesame flavor being our favorite. Kusshi seamlessly combines great food, attentive service, and a welcoming ambiance, making it a place we're eager to revisit.

I don't think I would come here for any reason tbh. I ordered the boat - I feel like that's the way you can tell how good the sushi restaurant is. If you want roll, that would be okay. I just didn't feel like sushi chef is skillful enough to serve the sashimi or nigiri. Rice for the nigiri isn't seasoned properly and I feel like they made with the tool. Rice portion of the nigiri was consistently too much. Sashimi wasn't cut properly.Boat combination wasn't including the miso soup. When I order sushi boat from other place, I remember it was always included. Interior design is quite clean and nice. But what my one star for it. It took 30 minutes to receive my order when other people was getting their food within 15 minute or so. I'm really disappointed with pretty much a lot of thing.

My fiance and I like to come here for happy hour. They have a discount on the seared salmon sushi then, and it's quite good! The salmon melts in your mouth. We've tried other dishes but the seared salmon sushi is always the standout. It's always been quite empty during happy hour so we've never had to wait.

Since moving to Bethesda, I have enjoyed many nights at Kusshi. The fish is super fresh, the menu is wide, and the prices are reasonable! There's typically seats available, regardless if you make a reservation, or you can snag a seat at the bar and grab a drink while you wait. Service is hit or miss - lots of super young staff who don't pay you much attention.

This is my third time dinning at Kusshi in downtown Bethesda and have mixed feelings about my experience. The food was undeniably good. The sushi was fresh, the flavors were spot on, and the presentation was appealing. However, the service was absolutely terrible.We were immediately seated at the bar, and from what we could see, the restaurant was empty. Our first server was not a bartender but worked to get our drinks made and food order in. Despite the quick seating, the service soon took a turn for the worse.It's a shame because the food has potential, but the poor service overshadowed what could have been a pleasant dining experience. I hope Kusshi can address these issues because good food deserves equally good service.

The sushi is decent, this wouldn't be my first choice but it's great for when you prefer not to spend a lot of money. The fried gyoza is my favorite on the menu.

Came to Kusshi for Friday dinner. Packed at dinner time. Three of us ended at the sushi bar, which seemed a little odd, as no one ever joined us at the sushi bar later that evening. But we were in a hurry so it was fine.Apps ordered: grilled chicken yakitori (pretty tasty, on bed of cabbage, lots of sauce and green onion; miso soup, could have been hotter but fine; and last a large seaweed salad which was good for 3.Chef gave us three slices of flame broiled tuna on rice.Entrees were some ala carte sushi, a salmon teriyaki and a chicken teriyaki. Both used the same teriyaki sauce as yakitori which was was disappointing. Chicken even slice for yakitori. Both on bed of veg and a side of regular rice with some sesame seeds, not sushi rice. Salmon was good and plenty of veg. Lots of chicken, but again disappointed that yakitori and teriyaki had same sauce.Staff were attentive. Ordered hot tea which was good. Restaurant was good, not exceptional, have had better.

Going to get sushi with your girlfriends means you get to order a boat! The fish was very fresh and everything was delicious. The only problem we had was that the food took a very long time to come out. The restaurant was pretty empty when we went, but it took almost an hour to receive our food. Other than the wait, the food itself was pretty good and the restaurant was pretty clean. Their green tea was nice and strong and complemented the food. My favorite was probably the seared fatty salmon!
