Neko Sushi has some great prices on what would cost far more at most other locations around the DMV, but it does become a bit of a six of one, half-dozen of another situation. I ordered two sashimi platters and I will say that two cuts of their fish is about equal to one cut you would find elsewhere. If you know what you're getting into, it's a superior experience to all grocery sushi I've ever had, but that is where you need to set your expectations.I imagine this is because they have limited space due to the fact they pre-stage platters, or it could just be the preference of the business or chef. Either way, I won't dock a star for that, but I am tempted to. I can't speak to how the sushi was crafted since I only bough sashimi, but I did enjoy the assortment that they had. I will deduct a point because the ginger and wasabi (had a 'squirted from a tube' consistency you get with grocery store sushi) were of very low quality, and I think they could stand to use better alternativesNeko is located in an international store, which was a big part of the draw for me. I got to explore some really uncommon products (live fish in tanks, cow hearts, kidneys, and livers, various foreign snack food, etc.) that certainly had me wanting to come back. Overall, I'd say Neko is far better than grocery stores where you can get sushi since they actually sell sashimi and large platters, but if you have decades of experience eating sushi, you may not mind paying more at a different location.
Their 회덥밥 was so good!! Delicious!!
Very nice sushi with great price, friendly staff and skilled chef! Nice variety and ample amount of sushi for a party platter we ordered! Will come back!
They are true gem to Rockville! Owners are very friendly (married couple), the husband is a chef and is very quiet and his wife does cashier and other non-sushi related food prep. Their poke-rice is so amazing, full of freshly chopped sashimi! The portion is so big that you can get one to share with another adult. Their sushi/sashimi platters are very affordable and beautiful, delicious arrangement of fresh quality fish! Highly recommend during COVID era where you don’t feel comfortable dining out anyways.
Small sushi place in Lotte Plaza Rockville, but you can expect a LOT more from this hidden gem! Their quality of fish is so good and their sushi and sashimi are simply excellent. Their pre-packaged sushi rolls fresh, and Sashimi Rice Bowl are very generous in portion plus tasty miso soup. I have ordered their special platters for my parties, and they were very good quality edible arts. Try to stop by if you are a true sushi lover.
They have a good selection of sushi, the sushi chef is friendly and the sushi is reasonably priced.
