🍱 Baltimore | 18-8 Sushi – A Quick Bite Near JHU

Stopped by 18-8 Sushi (under the Icon apartments) for a warm meal – here’s the honest review! 🍛 Pork Cutlet Don (Katsu Don) Includes: Two large pork cutlets with Western-style teriyaki sauce, rice, and miso soup. Verdict: The portion was huge – enough to take half home! 🐷📦 But the pork was clearly frozen and re-fried – the coating was soggy, and the meat was extremely dry. The miso soup was tasty and generously sized (could serve two!). 🥬 Lettuce Wrap with Chicken & Stir-Fried Veggies Includes: Minced chicken with zucchini, asparagus, carrots, green beans, and mushrooms. Verdict: The chicken portion was solid, but only 3 lettuce leaves were provided (order extra rice instead!). The stir-fry was juicy and seasoned with something reminiscent of (super high praise!) – a dream dish for Chinese taste buds! 👌🥢 🍣 Eel & Cucumber/Avocado Sushi Rolls Verdict: The only normally portioned dish. The avocado roll got slightly (rich) after a few pieces. The rice was loosely packed and mediocre quality. 💰 Price & Final Thoughts: Average pricing for the Rotunda area. Recommendation: Just order the lettuce wrap chicken stir-fry – it’s satisfying and affordable! Overall Rating: 3.5/5 (➕0.5 for the stir-fry’s flavor!). 📍 Address: 727 W 40th St, Unit 138 (walking distance to MOM’s Organic Market). ⏰ Hours: 12:00 PM – 9:30 PM #BaltimoreEats #Sushi #JapaneseFood #JHU #Rotunda #FoodReview #BudgetEats
