Mmm Ziki, and Other Good Local Eats
Morgan came to town yesterday for business, and we went out to dinner at a local hibachi grill called Ziki.
We’ve been here several times, and I think this is probably one of the best hibachi grills I have been to. The food is always excellent, they give you a *ton* of food, and the staff is fun, curteous, and efficient. Their sushi bar is good also, I always get a spicy tuna hand roll when I go. Its a bit expensive for a quick Monday night dinner, but quality and experience match the price.
Other places in Gaithersburg Justin and I like to eat at (and often) include:
- Tabouleh, a Mediterranean/Turkish restaurant across from the movie theater in the Kentlands
- Ziki, a Japanese hibachi grill off of Sam Eig highway
- Spice Cafe, an Indian restaurant in the Washingtonian
- Five Guys, a burger joint in the Kentlands
I cant comment on Italian food because there are a few smaller restaurants we havnt been to yet. For short order Greek food, it is probably a tie between Moby Dick (for speed and location), Caspian (for food), and the Kabob Grill (I dont remember if thats their real name, but theyre really cheap and have awesome fallafel). Maybe Justin can give some feedback to which place he likes the best.

I like the Spice Cafe for Indian and Tabouleh for Mediterranean. Ziki’s definitely the best hibachi place I’ve been. But their “curteous” service was more like courteous service IMO.
