This restaurant has been a local favorite for generations. The sushi is always excellent quality. Great service too. And the clean, polished atmosphere is a perfect compliment to the food. If you are a fan of garlic chili oil, try the black and red roll. It has bold chili and garlic flavors paired with great textures.

Best Sushi in Rockville Pike! Unmatched variety for vegetarian maki rolls. Enjoyed with a close colleague and friend.

Perfect place for a great deal of healthy food with great taste and reasonable price! We had two bento boxes $21.25 and $21.75, respectively, the two most expensive ones on the list. Every table is provided with a small but free salad and an miso soup. Served quickly.

Really good tuna and salmon nigiri. And the sexy jalepeno appetizer was great. The spicy tuna roll tasted really off and when we told our server she just said we should just order something else next time. Didn’t do anything to try and fix the situation. Kind of strange.

I have been coming to Niwano Hana since 2018, and I can confidently say that their service and quality have remained consistently excellent over the years. The Spicy Scallop Roll and the Spicy Baked Mussel are especially outstanding — always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Even after seven years, the high standards of both their food and hospitality have never wavered. It’s truly a place you can always rely on for a wonderful dining experience.

Pleasantly surprised. The food came fairly quick, and the portions were a good size. The fish was fresh, and the flavor combos in the sushi rolls were delicious. The spicy tuna roll was excellently spicy. Highly recommend. The waitress was very nice, efficient & attentive. Prices were very reasonable.
