Johnny's Sushi House - Perryville

We came for dinner during our stay at Great Wolf Lodge. Initially skeptical of a sushi restaurant in a small town we were blown away by the quality, service and ambience of the place. It was SO packed, and totally understandably so. Well done Johnny's Sushi. It was better than any suburb sushi restaurant that I've been to in a looong time.

I went to the newly opened Johnny's Korean Fried Chicken and Ramen side of this shop. First, I have to say that the food does not have the traditionally known Korean fried chicken flavors. It is Chinese fried chicken, through and through. So, if you want Korean fried chicken, you will be sorely disappointed, as I was. (I was raised on a Chinese grandmother's home cooking for 30+ years. But, if you're looking for Chinese fried chicken, look no further, this spot hits that spot!! It's delicious, juicy, and filled with that good chicken flavor! The sauces are good and tasty, also more Chinese than Korean, and it's better than any KFC around. The servers were really kind and helpful with making choices. There were kids around (well well behaved and others not as much which was strange but whatever. And the shop was clean, the bathrooms were much nicer than expected, and the tables were cleaned after each customer. If they had trash cans around, I would have tossed our trash before leaving to simplify the work for them. And Amanda did her best to answer my questions (especially since I did have quite a few questions. Just to add, their fried rice cake isn't tteokbokki. They just take the rice pellets, put them on sticks, and fry them... which is a great Chinese snack but NOT a Korean snack. So, yes... a good Chinese food spot but NOT a Korean food spot.

Great food option around this area. We went to Great Wolf and needed to venture out to see other food options. This restaurant is not opened on Mondays. We cane here on a Tuesday during lunch and it was pretty empty. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating which were great options! We were seated immediately but the staff was not as attentive. There is plenty of parking. They also have a lunch special menu with reasonable prices. The kids menu also had great options. I got the 4 rolls: salmon, eel and tempura. Overall, I enjoyed the food as the portions are generous and the food was delicious!

Really great sushi! You would never guess this place is as good as it is. Doesn't look like much when you drive up but definitely worth a visit. My favorite was the Halloween roll. Can't go wrong with some spicy tuna topped with jalapeno! The chicken fried rice is great as well. I highly recommend this spot.

Upon entry, I thought it was a small place with limited seating. Once we turned the corner, there was so much more seating than I anticipated. The staff members were really friendly as well! We ordered crab rangoons, a salmon roll, and a spicy tuna roll. Typically, this would not fill me but the portions were huge. The crab rangoons were filled and definitely hit the spot after working out since they were sweet, salty, creamy, and crispy. I have been ordering salmon at every sushi restaurant to see if I like salmon sushi because everyone is always raving about it, but it was never really for me. After ordering it from Johnny's, I discovered that I do like salmon sushi but only if it's fresh. Not only that, but these were some of the largest salmon pieces I've ever seen. The spicy tuna roll was made well and I enjoyed it very much because the taste and texture of the roll was perfect. These too, were larger than what I typically see! Overall, it's a nice local sushi shop in the area and will stop by again if I'm visiting my friend again.
