Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Baltimore Magazine. Updated September 2026.
Nanami Cafe · Harbor East
Nanami Cafe serves sushi and sashimi from a South Ann Street room in Fells Point. The waterfront setting makes it a quieter place for rolls and raw fish near the harbor.
Shoyou Sushi · Federal Hill
Shoyou Sushi serves traditional fish preparations and inventive rolls from a compact Light Street dining room in Federal Hill. The restaurant keeps its focus on sushi rather than a broad pan-Asian menu.
Hana · Hampden
Hana Sushi serves sushi, ramen, and yakitori on 36th Street in Hampden. Carefully cut fish and composed rolls can anchor a meal, while skewers or a bowl of tonkotsu give a table more Japanese choices.
Yama Sushi · Ellicott City
Yama Sushi serves sushi in Ellicott City. Its Dorsey Hall restaurant is the original kitchen from the owners who later opened Hana Sushi in Hampden. This is Yama’s own location, separate from the newer Baltimore dining room.
Azumi · Harbor East
Azumi serves sushi at the Four Seasons in Harbor East, with the harbor in view from the dining room. The restaurant guide calls out hirame, ikura, and toro, as well as an omakase menu. Fish and careful cutting, rather than elaborate roll combinations, are the reason to choose this waterfront table.
