This evening I had the lazy experience of not leaving the house after coming home from work and having my Sushi delivered to me.  A reasonably new location in Bowie MD the East Moon, does carry out, and delivery, if you are so fortunate to live within a 5 mile radius.Let me say, first and formost, the young lady taking the order was courteous and took my order without problem. Quick and efficient. She even upsold me on a Shrimp Tempura dinner (my only mistake by the way).

The food arrived, a little sooner than promised, "40 minutes" and the sushi was quite good and good portions for price paid. The delivery guy was courteous, and was quick as well.

Again, the sushi, Unagi, Spicy Tuna Roll, Salmon Roll, and some Edamame were nice and (the edamame was nicely salted and hot!)  cold, with plenty of wasabi and were excellent.  However, the moral of this tale is, do not order Tempura delivered. I should know better. Common sense dictates, this stuff sits in a styro box for more than 5 minutes, it sweats and gets soggy pretty fast. While they may have delivered it fast, they still had to drive at least 4.5 miles to my house with several dozen stop lights, and likely more than just my delivery. I won't make that mistake again.

That said, the overall I would certainnly reccomend for delivery if you cannot go out. They deliver what they say, it is very good ( leave the Tempura for dining at the location) and certainly I will likely try the dining in option soon.  This is a new location and I wish them well. Good service and good food are hard to come by in Bowie, in any amount of consistency.  So an ok, to good start for East Moon!!

They are located on 6107 Highbridge road, Bowie, MD 20720,  301-805-4988.

 

 

I am and have been for a few years now, a fan of this franchise, and not because it is one. It has the feel and service of what it is. In other words authenticity is what sells it to me. If I did not know better I'd say it was a family owned mom and pop restaurant. The owners and management care that much.

they take pride in all facets of service and of course the food. Located in the Bowie Town center this place has made many $$ from me in the past few years. Wether for carry out or dining in, this is the place to go for sushi and hot asian food choices. They recently expanded their operations taking over the abysmal failure that was a dunkin donuts, a franchise going no where fast in my opinion. Ichiban has converted that space into a warm, and comfortable while richly apponted dining room anyone could be proud of.

I would reccomend this place to anyone. The sushi is fantastic.
