For the price of the special rolls and nigiri, this place cannot be beat. The staff is also extremely nice. I eat a lot of sushi all around the East coast as it is my favorite food. At Satsuma, I order a wide variety of fresh fish and real grated wasabi. They also offer belly cuts of sake, hamachi, and toro which many other places do not have.
Absolutely amazing for the price ($1 sushi is epic) and all around very good. I wish I had a place this good at something like this price point in Manhattan.Edit 1/29/2022: Still one of the best restaurants in Bethesda. Call ahead, order, eat delicious sushi, be happy
Ahh! The culinary delight that pleases both the eye and the palate. Tucked away on the corner of Delray Ave and Norfolk st. It is my only Japanese place to dine. The service is excellent, the soup and sushi to die for! The pork falls apart with chopsticks. Although it is only carry out the ambiance brings a release of tension as no therapy will. God bless this tiny little part of the Islands of Japan. May their rising sun never set as long as I breathe .
Great place for the value! If your looking for affordable sushi to fix your craving this is the spot. Mid grade sushi/nigiri that can be ordered in large quantities that won’t break the bank (compared to nearby restaurants). Also have other menu items that are good too; chk karaage, unagi don and kaki fry (we prefer to get our ramen from a different place). Only takeout and the staff is great too!Usual Order:Lg quantity of Salmon Belly NigiriAlaskan RollChk KaraageUnagi Don
I was having a bit of a hard day and figured some good ramen would cheer me up, they were so kind and the spicy miso is absolutely delicious! I didn't have time to take a picture before digging in, will be my go-to now :) I'll try some sushi next time!EDIT: I ended up going back the next day, had time to snag a photo this time
Fantastic for the fresh and delicious $1/piece nigiri, the excellent small plates (salted mackerel, grilled yellowtail jaw, grilled salmon jaw, short ribs and more), the sushi, sashimi and chirashi plates, and anything with eel (try the eel donburi or the eel bibimbap.) The miso soup is delicious.Have seen many Japanese nationals here and have been told that Satsuma is reminiscent of a Japanese countryside restaurant.You can eat very well here for a reasonable price. Open for pick-up during the pandemic.
Food is always amazing, some of the best japanese food in town.
Sashimi or Nigiri for $1/piece.Salmon belly and fatty tuna are the best.Sea scallops are also amazing.
Better try out their yakiniku when full-service resumes! Best in the area
Very nice quality for the price. Pretty legit! Just wish we could dine in because the timing for pickup makes the food not that good as fresh cooked.
