Chiyo Sushi

Item: Chiyo Sushi
Author: Tamar Alexia Fleishman

10Best Says

For all of its hidden location behind a bus turnaround circle in Mt. Washington, Chiyo Sushi is wildly popular. It's pretty much the date night epicenter for the artsy, intellectual crowd in Baltimore and parts of Baltimore County.

There's a small sushi bar area and just a few tables downstairs. Tables are also at a premium upstairs on busy nights.

Servers are very good about describing the flavors of the different fish and the elaborate daily special rolls.

Chiyo serves up some of the most gorgeous sushi in the area. Special rolls utilize several colors and types of fish roe, exotic fruit and vegetables as part of the garnishes on their plates.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Tamar Alexia Fleishman
Baltimore Local Expert

Sushi: "They have lengthy lunch periods (11-3), but only Tuesday through Friday. The restaurant is closed on Monday."

Best for Sushi Because: Though it's an intimate, neighborhood place, the flavors are sophisticated.
