First time coming here. Ordered the sushi/sashimi dinner along with the hurricane roll, cali roll B, spicy scallops, yellowtail roll, radish roll, and the spicy squid. The food was all amazing along with great prices for the amount of food. The sushi was fresh and delicious. Service was immensely friendly and quick. I will definitely be coming back here a lot!!

The sushi was so good and so fresh tasting. I think this was the best Rainbow Roll i've had! Being able to have good sushi alongside Korean side dishes and Bibimbap was the perfect dinner.

Love this place. Recently moved to Waldorf, and we found this place off Crain hwy. The food is excellent. I've been here 4 times already within the last year and the service is great but the food is even better. The sushi is delicious, and the entrees and side dishes are also great. We had the following, and I have absolutely no complaints. This place is a must try.

I cannot stress enough how amazing the food was, yet somehow the service and atmosphere were even better. I've had Shrimp Tempura at every restaurant I've ever walked in that served it, and it was by far the best I've ever had here. The Beef Japchae is most likely made with magic. And I'm coming back just for the sushi. I tried 4 different rolls (Spicy Crab, Spicy Tuna, Samurai, and Hurricane) and nearly ordered a 5th. Also try the Seafood Pancake. Or try everything, also good advice.

Absolutely loved this place! Every piece of sushi I had was seriously amazing—especially their special rolls. I tried three different ones, and each one was super fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with a lot of care. The gyoza was another highlight—crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, and just really satisfying. I also had the Japchae, and it hit the spot—really hearty and packed with flavor. But what made the experience even better were the owners. They were so kind and welcoming, and the whole vibe of the place brought back memories of the incredible food I had while traveling in Korea and Japan. It really feels like a hidden gem. I’m already looking forward to going back.

First time trying this spot out. Grabbed a lunch box and 2 extra sushi rolls. The lunch box was LOADED..so much so that I had my other rolls the next day for lunch. The lunch boxes are priced at 9.99 (Great deal) and the varying rolls are fairly priced. I will definitely be going back!

Can't believe I waited this long to try this place out! Took my boyfriend out for his birthday, we love sushi. We have heard great things about Kodori, finally had an excuse to get dinner! You won't be disappointed! So good!
