NEW NO DA JI
2501-2503 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 410-235-4846
You normally wouldn’t think the mark of a good sushi restaurant would be its all-you-can-eat buffet, but it’s the big draw at New No Da Ji. Popular with neighboring Johns Hopkins students and the Baltimore Museum of Art crowd, its buffets (lunch - $9.95 and dinner - $15.95) combine the best of nigiri, sashimi and maki with other Korean, Chinese and Japanese selections. Popular sashimi fishes are rock fish and red snapper. And since you’re in the land of the crab, try their special Old Bay roll, with lump crab meat sprinkled generously with the homegrown Maryland spice. The décor isn’t too snazzy, but who cares? With prices like these, and the freshness you’d expect from upscale sushi bars, you just cannot go wrong here.
