Sushi Ya Asian Fusion: Plenty of great choices
So I was sitting in this restaurant a guy orders his lunch and when it comes he simply doesn’t like it. Without hesitation the server took it and the guy re-ordered without a problem. That was a big deal to me because just about a month ago, in another restaurant, the server wouldn’t take back the order unless the customer was charged for it.
The restaurant I’m telling you about now is Sushi Ya Asian Fusion, located in the Valley Center, off Reisterstown Road in Owings Mills. The owners, Elva and Max, their Americanized names, took over in April of 2014. It was called Sushi Ya Japanese Fusion. They are both from China.

It’s important to note this is certainly much more than just a sushi restaurant. Some of the other menu items include king pao cashew nut, black bean sauce, thai mango sauce and thai basil sauce. All these sauces are ordered with chicken, beef or shrimp.
A favorite of the customers is the bento boxes. Here you can order the chicken, salmon, beef or shrimp teriyaki, or the shrimp and veggie tempura or the sashimi. Included in this meal are four pieces of california roll, three pieces of shumai and rice.
If you like sushi, there’s plenty offered. There is actually a sushi bar to sit and watch the sushi being made and talk with the sushi guy. I was told there are over 200 sushi rolls being made, not all at the same time however.
The restaurant is open six days (closed Monday) for lunch and dinner. Plenty of parking and carry out is available. Soon so will delivery in the area. They will cater an outside event or you can use the place for a private event.
I was shown the tartamil room. This is a small private dining area just off the main restaurant that sets 4 to 6. It is ideal for those wishing some privacy. Reservations are a good idea on weekends.
I ordered the osaka roll topped with salmon and their home made iced tea. Very good. I even ordered another one for later consumption.
You can reach them at 410-356-9996.
