Reviews for Passion Fin in Bethesda, MD
Great sushi. Other dishes wonderful too.
I have been trying to avoid this restaurant since wayback 2017 when I saw that the people are smoking while preparing the food.... Last Sunday, I caved in when there was no other restaurant that is open at noon and we were starving. The place was literallyempty when we got in - worked well for us since I have my 4-month old with me. My boyfriend and I ordered a shumai, calamari,pad thai, and sushi sashimi combo. Couple minutes later and our food was out. We were famished so were glad that it only took acouple minutes for our appetizers to arrive. And then it immediately turned into disappointment. The shumai they served issomething that you can buy off Safeway or any asian market. It tasted cheap and we can tell that it was not home-made. The padthai was bad and the shrimp that comes with it tasted stale. The sushi/sashimi was not fresh. I know because I always getsushi/sashimi whenever we eat at any asian restaurants. The tuna and salmon was served FROZEN - the inside of the fish was cold.The yellowtail tasted ok but definitely not fresh. Well, at least the server was nice. If you want to get an authentic asianfood, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. Read more
I've been eating here for lunch a few times a week. The food is pretty good! Today I had a Shrimp and Mango salad. It was... absolute perfection! Read more
Food was okay, there wasn't much flavor to what I ordered even though it was supposed to be a spicy menu item. Food came Luke... warm. Veggies were still raw. Read more
This is my go-to sushi place when I?m ordering online. Its not the best sushi I?ve ever had, but the price for what you get... can?t be beat. It?s a bit out of the way from the main Bethesda haunts but it?s great overall. The dinner special - 3 rolls + asoup/salad is an incredible deal! I recently tried their lo mein too and I loved it.

This place is as good as it gets for sushi. The staff is awesome and the food is incredible.
This restaurant is a new favorite haunt for my daughter and me. We lunch here whenever we are running errands and are in a... hurry. The food and service are good, and it is a rather quiet place to eat and chat. I love the miso soup and the sushi isgood. I tried the red curry, and the curry base was good, but I wasn't a fan of the chicken. I will stick to sushi when I comehere. Read more
07/2022 update The restaurant is finally open for eat in. The lunch special was wonderful. We had a wonderful time. We ordered... 9 rolls together and requested a boat. The manager remembered that I like rolls cut into 8 pieces, which is impressive after along break . ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? 10/2021: Short temper of staff and repeated mistakesin take out orders. I ordered 5 sushi lunches to go, each with 3 rolls of sushi. That's our usual order. Over time, Inoticed that "accidents" and "mistakes" become more and more frequent. Most recently, we ordered our lunch about a month ago,the food came with the wrong types of rolls. we had to drive back and exchange plain vegetable rolls for the ones that we hadpaid for with eel and avocado. There was no apology then. This time they gave us one lunch order with just one roll. At thedinner table, We noticed that one lunch was missing 2 rolls and took pictures of what you see below. After a lot ofback-and-forth with text messaging (the pictures didn't come through) and having to prove their mistake, the manager called meback together with a chef on a speaker. they accused me of lying that basically someone took out the two rolls. They claimthat since the boxes made for three rolls and now there is only one in the Box somebody took the other two out (note that thebox is obviously very clean and there is not a drop of sauce or rice around the single roll).. Also please note that Irepeatedly requested all the roles to be cut into eight pieces instead of six. As you can see, that wasn't done. Needless tosay that the screaming of the chef over the phone is inexcusable and will not be tolerated. Read more
