We all love good sushi, but sometimes it comes at a big price. Not at Kyodai, Towson’s rotating sushi bar! The sushi is very reasonably priced, with basic sushi plates (shrimp tempura, imitation crab, vegetable, tuna, and salmon) only $2.50 a plate, which has four pieces of sushi on it (and they’re pretty large!) They also have a ton of special rolls to choose from, my old favorite being the rainbow roll. Most of my friends love dipping their sushi in a combination of spicy Sriracha sauce and soy sauce. However, Kyodai also has a special creamy Sriracha sauce, which is always a bit hit.

The novelty of the rotating bar is great, but Kyodai also has a few tables for seating that are great for larger parties. The staff is extremely friendly and is always willing to help you make a decision about what to order. Now that I’m vegan, I order many, many orders of avocado roll, something I often crave. And at $2.50 an order, it’s easy to go a bit overboard. For special orders (special plates are only $5.75), it’s always fun to watch the sushi chefs (located in the center of the rotating bar) roll the sushi in front of you.

This is a really fun place to go on a date, catch up with friends, or just stop by for a quick meal. The wait time is usually very short and the service is great. With a menu in addition to the sushi, there’s something for everyone. Also, I must recommend the banana tempura + chocolate sauce dessert! It’s warm and just the right amount of sweet. You can also order it with honey!

All in all, Kyodai is a great place to experience at least one, especially since the owner claims it’s the only rotating sushi bar in Maryland! Plus, we all love instant gratification sometimes and this is the perfect place to make spontaneous decisions and try new things at your own pace.
