“?FOOD?: 10/10
Quality: Best Sushi I have ever had in my life. Period! Kazuko has my highest recommendation! Me and 3 other friends went there for happy hour and we had the best time! SHOUT OUT to Jason who made the most delicious sushi on earth! The taste, freshness, texture of the sushi and sashimi are top-notch. My favroite is the toro and the melting sensation once placed in my mouth feels amazing! The spider rolls, nacho sushis, sashimi and sushi sets are all dazzling and tasted incredible! I can’t say enough good things about this place! It is hard to pick my favorite!
Appearance: A picture speaks a thousand words! They all look like masterpiece and art! It was such a satisfying experience just watching Jason putting the sushi together! I really appreciate him putting many efforts and time to serve the best sushi to us!
Portion size: We loved it! Everything is the perfect size and great portion!.
?? Service??: 10/10
Friendliness: Service is solid! Jason is the best chef and he is awesome! We enjoyed spending time with the chefs and the servers! They are all very nice and friendly. They created a heart-warming, welcoming and nice atmosphere for us to have the best dining experience. I love talking to each of them and we are so grateful for their wonderful service!
Timeliness: Food came in no time! We went on a Monday night so not many people is in the restaurant, but I really appreciate them for providing the best service to us!
Environment: Very clean and nice, The lighting is perfect and I loved how everything looks, very simple yet modern. It really brings me to Japan and I loved it! Ver ycozy and warm atmosphere and the nice people make it feels like home!
Location: Great location with plenty of parkings outside, It is very easy to find the place! If you don’t have a car just like me, it maybe kind of hard to get there but I am sure with the lightrail opened up to Lynnwood, it will definitely make things easier!“

“This is easily some of the best Asian food I've ever had!!!We got the teriyaki chicken, orange chicken and the honey Korean fried chicken and 2 sushi rolls. The portions where amazing for the price and all the chicken was super tender. The staff were super nice and they Evan gave us a stir-fried vegetables on the house. Plus the atmosphere of the place was great. This is easily a 5/5“

“We’ve tried several sushi omakase spots in Seattle, but Wataru stands out as the absolute best! The high-quality aged fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and creative flavor combinations made for an unforgettable dining experience. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. The chef was warm and welcoming, and the service was exceptional. We will definitely be back!“

“This is my second time coming here. I will definitely come back again. I got the shrimp fried rice and the salmon lover’s roll. I have to say this is one of the best fried rice I’ve in a long time. Staff is very attentive and the restaurant has a great atmosphere“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The service was seamless—attentive without being intrusive, with every staff member radiating pride in what they do. The sushi? Impeccable. Each piece was a work of art—fresh, balanced, and masterfully crafted. The chef’s selection melted in our mouths, and the attention to detail was evident in every bite. From the ambiance to the presentation, everything reflected care, precision, and a love for the craft. They kept the sake flowing and the good times rolling. A truly memorable dining experience—we’ll be back without question. Umma will make sure you feel at home!“

“Had this awhile back and had to have it again when I was back in town. Had the Katsu Curry this time which gave what I expected. The server (Yeong I believe) was super friendly and hospitable beyond what I expected! Perhaps he just liked us or we were a big group but he served us some complementary sides that were delicious. The fried gyoza was bomb. The whole place was decorated for Halloween. I hope to return to this place sooner than later.“

“Edit: I think my original review doesn’t do the justice to this place so I’m updating it. This is an absolute best sushi place in Seattle. Sometimes I want sushi on Sunday and they are closed on Sunday which is the only reason I try sushi in other places. And every time I end up disappointed and regretting ordering from anywhere else, because nobody matches the quality of Sam’s sushi. Sam’s sushi are the best in the city.
Original review: Good quality sushi, cozy atmosphere, fast and friendly service 🥰“

“They have very tasty (not too sweet!) dessert options here. I didn't enjoy the Green Tea Tiramisu as much as the ones I've had at places like Nana's Green Tea. However, I will still rate this place highly due to their reasonable prices and the great quality of their other dessert offerings.“

“Cheap & Cheerful Spot. I decided to go here tonight rather than going to the more popular place next door. Glad I did. The service is efficient. No refill on my water though. Food was good in a straight forward kind of way. Good value for the price.“

“Authentic Japanese Sushi & more! The service is super friendly and the sushi is INCREDIBLE! We drove from the Ballard neighborhood for years, and still drive there from the Shoreline area. I truly haven't found a Sushi restaurant that can compare to Hanami!“

“Amazing sushi place in Ballard that I love to go all the time. The chef there is so sweet, makes art out of the sushi!
My favorite rolls are musashi roll, perfect amount of rice, veggies, and fish. It’s my go to sushi spot whenever I crave for sushi and they never disappoint!
The seating can be little tricky as it’s for smaller groups. But I haven’t had huge issues when I visited with friends.
Parking is street parking but I’m able to find one every time I visit :)“

“Amazing woman who took my order, very friendly and they offer free soup while you wait for your order. The soup was delicious! The portions where a bit small and was a bit on the blanned side. I'm hoping the next time the food will be as great as my experience.“

“I would visit again. Seated with five others, we ordered within 10 minutes of arrival. Food took an hour to be prepared which did lead us to privately question what was happening. However, once the food arrived it was heaven. I have already recommended this restaurant to others. Totally fresh food and very reasonable price.“

“Ichi Bento consistently has the best Teriyaki in Seattle. Their chicken teriyaki always get a nice char on the outside that keeps it juicy and complements the sweetness and umami of their teriyaki sauce. They’ve been a part of the community for decades, and I hope they stay for many to come!“

“Delicious, curteous, fast, and they offer sake flights. Very creative specialities, and the rolls are generously sized. They also clearly label where they use real crab and where they use imitation crab, which is a level of forthrightness I appreciate in a good sushi place.
Vegetarian options: Great vegan sushi rolls too.“

“This is a new place and a gem for authentic and high-quality Japanese cuisine in Seattle. We had the Chef’s Special Kaiseki Course. We absolutely loved the panna cotta, which reminded us if Hokkaido milk. The service is inpeccable! Parking can be a challenge due to its location. Overall, we strongly recommend.“

“1st time here. Heard and read good reviews, so met a friend for a weekday lunch. I observed a clean dining area, and recieved courteous and quick service, and a generous portion. Seemed like the price was a little high, but I'm happy to pay a couple bucks for great service and delicious food. Thank you, will be back ; - )“

“Why are they always closed? I’m trying to place an order at 4:15pm and it says it’s closed!!! I walk in yesterday at 7 pm and the lady said that they are closed too!!! I’m so confused!!! They don’t have a phone number to call too! But I comeback to place an order in person at 5 and they took my order!!! So, knowing that only 2 people work in there and their place is blowing up I would say be patient and try again!“

“If you’re in the Greater Seattle area and haven’t tried Ichi Roll Wok and Teriyaki yet, let me help you out: Squabble up…Gobble up! This spot is where grilled meat dreams come true.
Their chicken and beef combo? Straight fire🔥.....The chicken is tender, the beef is juicy, and both are grilled to perfection with a flavor that makes you question how other places even survive in this game. The portions are so generous that you’ll need a game plan to finish it all, but trust me—it’s worth it.
The teriyaki sauce? Sweet, savory, and absolutely unforgettable. Paired with fluffy rice and crisp, cool salad, it’s like a perfect harmony of flavors in every bite. You’ll find yourself licking your fork clean, already planning your next visit.
And here’s the truth: when you go to other spots, just know... they not like us, they not like us. Ichi Roll doesn’t just serve food—they serve greatness. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is spotless, and the vibe is on point.
So, if you’re craving the best grilled meats in town, this is your sign. Pull up, grab that chicken and beef combo, and let Ichi Roll show you why they’re untouchable.
Rating: 11/10. Gobble up that greatness.“

“This is a nice little neighborhood spot, service was a little slow as they only had one server and I believe one cook short staff. The food was great and I was excited they had the fish red bean dessert as I haven’t had that since we lived in Japan many years ago as a kid!! They didn’t have nato my dad’s favorite and no potatoes in the chicken curry. They forgot my dad’s miso soup she didn’t know if she brought it out or not. They definitely need a little more help so if you know anyone looking for a job they should apply.“

“If you like teriyaki, this is great!
I've never really been a fan of teriyaki historically just as a matter of preference, but I've also never sought it out where it is known to be excellent, such as in Seattle.
I can say this is the highest quality teriyaki I have had thus far and was well worth it, although it's still not shifting my general preference.
I'll have to have some in Japan, LA, and Hawaii before I rest my final judgment on teriyaki as a whole.“

“It was our second time visiting this place. Service is very friendly, food is delicious and tasty sake as well.
We ordered Agedashi tofu, Oyster, Sashimi combo large, and Richard Roll. All were very tasty.
Price is also reasonable with a decent volume. We will definitely visit again.“

“Hidden gem!! This feels like a take out place when you walk in. However, they do have a nice place to sit in the back with a balcony. The sushi is delicious. I recommend the undecided roll. They also have yummy options for appetizers and meals. It was a good break when I walked back from Greenlake.“

“I stopped in here for the first time last night on a whim and had a lovely experience. I was surprised to be the only patron around 6pm and worried maybe the place had a reputation for poor quality, but I think maybe this place has location working against it. It's right on Roosevelt with a small sign, and you probably wouldn't notice it if you were riding by rather than walking. That's the only reason I can think it was empty on a Saturday night because the food was fresh and delicious, and the service was friendly and laid back yet attentive.
I was even given a complimentary shooter of subtly sweet juice with berries in it! There was fun 90s music playing, and I had an overall great experience. I hope they get enough business to stay around! It's nice to have another option and not have to wait as long as at some other sushi places in the neighborhood.“

“We’ve been going here for years and it’s always great. My usual favorite is the spicy chicken with gyoza daily special. So good. Just tried the spicy bulgogi and spicy ramen for the first time and both were tasty as well. Now it’ll be a tough choice to pick between them.“

“This place may be small, but that is FAR overshadowed by the quality of the food! The sushi is made fresh. Even the sushi rice is seasoned to perfection! Don’t skip over the Poke bowl, the Ahi melts in your mouth which only comes with quilty tuna. Service was exceptional and attentive. Such a great place!“

“I got the poke bowl, and it was pretty good! The portion size for the protein was generous. Admittedly I was confused about how the bowl pricing worked so I got two proteins (also assuming the scoops were going to be half the size they ended up being) and ended up buying a really expensive bowl lol, but entirely at my own fault! I wish they had more sauce options than just the spicy mayo or eel sauce, but it’s a pretty good option in this food court when you’re opting for more “fresh” fast food! :)“
