Hinode - Rockville

I came here for lunch for the all you can eat sushi. I probably should of went somewhere else. If y’all had good sushi you should not come here for all you can eat. If you like grocery store sushi, this place is for you! I ate like 10 nigiri eel so I felt like I got my money’s worth. Good people with okay sushi.

TLDR: Endless Sushi and Japanese/Korean eats at a reasonable price! Both maki and nigiri were delicious.Vibe: 3/5. Located in a small strip mall off Congressional, parking at Hinode can sometimes be tough. The strip mall has several popular businesses inside, so parking during peak times can be scarce. On several occasions we have had to street park on nearby side streets and walk to the restaurant. The inside of Hinode is your pretty basic sushi restaurant. Dozens of 4 tops and a large wooden sushi bar occupy the bulk of the main dining area. They have several rooms full of tables, so getting a table is usually quite easy, even for larger groups. The decor is a bit antiquated , but it is clean and they do have 3 very nicely maintained fish tanks at the front that are a joy to watch while you dine.Service: 5/5. The staff have always been very nice and accommodating at Hinode. On our most recent visit for weekend lunch, service lived up to that expectation. We were seated immediately and given the all you can eat menus with our order taken promptly. Both the kitchen and the sushi chefs were quick in getting the food out and our waiter was on top of the beverage refills. Couldn't ask for a better experience .Food: 4/5. Before the pandemic, Hinode used to be a predominantly buffet style restaurant, offering sushi and Japanese/Korean food on the bar for you to take at your leisure. Post pandemic, they have transitioned to an all you can order style of dining, which in my opinion produces a better overall experience. The sushi comes out fresher and you are always guaranteed to get what you want. On my most recent lunch, the sushi was well prepared and generous in fish portion size. The hot foods were also exceptional, offering a delicious alternative to prevent sushi palate fatigue. The portion sizes for each sushi order are also nicely thought out (1 nigiri and 4 pieces per roll) so diners won't get full off of a single roll or 2. Overall, for the price of $23-30 depending if you down for lunch or dinner, Hinode is a great choice for sushioholics Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian sushi and hot food but not enough to warrant the endless food price Kid-friendliness: Mostly sushi so not worth it if the kids don't like sushi Parking: Parking is difficult at peak times so be prepared to circle around or street park nearby. Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant has wide spaces between tables so wheelchairs could fit

Five stars What a great deal, all you can eat Shushi, seven days a week! A good variety; sushi, nigiri, sashimi, miso soup, salad, Korean BBQ, Bulgogi, terryaki chicken... I'm not a sushi expert. I enjoyed my meal and so did the two others with me. The sushi rolls were so filling. I recommend ordering the nigiri, and a limited amount of sushi rolls. For those of you who don't eat much just order á la carte. A California roll without caviar is only $5.75. pair that with miso soup and green tea and you have a meal for about $11. A bargain! Very large seating area and an area in the back you may reserve for large parties. Take out service is popular. Decent parking, one handicap parking space for the entire row of businesses, so be prepared to wait a little bit for a good parking space if you need to park near the entrance. Definitely worth checking out. Enjoy!

Nice lunch dinner all you can eat with some restrictions on quantity but still reasonable. I had a nice salad, miso soup, Korean bulgogi, kimchi, cucumber salad and a nice tuna roll with some nice pieces of salmon, tuna mackerel sushi. It was prepared nicely snd I really enjoyed myself. The bulgogi portion was a bit small but tasty nevertheless.

Maybe not the greatest sushi in the world but it's darn good. Our family goes there a couple times a year. Lots of variety. Always fresh. It's reliable, a good meal, and a nice place to go to. It's nice for our family there's plenty of variety for everyone. Can't go wrong here.
