50 Best Sushi Bars near Kenmore

“I had a fantastic experience at this sushi restaurant! Sushi Combo B was perfect - fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The wait time was impressively low, making the dining experience even better. The atmosphere is really nice, with a relaxing vibe that makes you want to stay longer. Definitely coming back!“

“One of the best sushi restaurants I’ve been part of!“

“Amazing, will go back in the next trip to Seattle“

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋“

“This was, without a doubt, the best sushi I have ever had in my life. I would go here every day of my life if I could.“

“❤️‍🔥🍣🐟❤️‍🔥My husband and I are sushi lovers through and through, definitely team seafood over meat!
Our omakase experience at Suzuki was absolutely incredible. Of course, the food was amazing, but what made it truly special was the entire experience, from the service to the atmosphere.

Everyone who served us, including the chefs, was so kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. You could really feel the positive energy and strong bond among the staff, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.

Each dish was beautifully presented and came with thoughtful explanations, adding so much depth to the meal. It was a feast not just for the taste buds, but also for the eyes and ears. The ambiance was simply perfect.

Without a doubt, it was the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.

Thank you😍❣️❣️“

“When we arrived, we were told there would be a twenty-minute wait, and it was definitely worth it. The restaurant was clean, the service was efficient and friendly, and the food was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and presented with a unique touch.

We ordered the pork gyozas, Philly roll, Spider roll, and California roll.

I recommend calling ahead for a table if you’re planning to visit on a busy weekend evening.“

“Chef is nice and friendly. Sushi-wise I was hoping for something more, it started really well and 4 nigiri are high lights and impressed me, the yozi scallop one brings you right into summer, and the one wrapped in clear Hokkaido seaweed feels like a fresh bite of ocean, apple wood smoked salmon has the perfect balance of smokiness. Oysters nigiri is really fresh and well done.
However, it didn’t go uphill as omakase usually do where next nigiri tastes even better, towards the second half of course some nigiri feels unbalanced, or even too salty because of overpowering source, hand roll is one of them.. desert didn’t wow me unfortunately.

Overall good experience but I was really hoping it could be beyond just good.“

“Wow I visited this place for my bday to do something unique for my 40th and it was just what a wanted and more. I felt special for my day ! Didnt have to think about the menu because everything was good even the bartenders choice drinks ! The staff was professional and friendly spoke spoken . I think they only seat 8 at a time so it’s pretty intimate and comfortable.“

“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“

“It was everything I expected. The food was delicious! Thank you very much!“

“The food here is absolutely amazing! I seriously did not know it was possible to sell such generous portions of fresh sushi at this price. My big back friend and I (also a big back) shared a family combo that was only $69 after tax that had 4 gigantic rolls and a boat-load of karaage. We weren't able to finish and had enough leftover for another meal. On top of all that, the service is super friendly and the atmosphere is nice and cozy. The staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and more. I'm a self-certified sushi connoisseur and I can confidently say this is the best value sushi I've ever had by far. The salmon nigiri especially was super fresh and had blanket-sized slices of salmon. This is 100% a must-try restaurant.“

“excellent food soo delicious 😋“

“My grandsons say this is the best food they have ever eaten in their whole life. The fried chicken was perfectly crisp yet perfectly moist; the short ribs were exquisite; the pot stickers and sushi were great. We loved our flavors, food, and experience and will always come back. One grandson says he would take a plane from anywhere in the world just to come back here.“

“ほんまに美味しかったです。皆さん仮装していらっしゃって楽しいディナーでした。❤️🎃“

“Amazing sushi! Friendly service as well. 5 stars“

“Love the concept of pick your own sushi pieces. The amount of options are reasonable and delicious! Price is reasonable for the amount you can fit into a box.
Depending on when you go there may be a line but it moves fairly quickly. Parking can be very tricky in this area.“

“Absolutely loved the sushi here! It was fresh, creative and with attention to quality and detail. The vibe is laid-back, and the staff are super friendly. That said, the space is pretty small, and it could use a bit more cleaning attention. It’s a little on the pricier side, but still worth it for a unique dine out.“

“Absolutely fantastic, even compared to all the places we've visited around the world. Everyone in our group loved every single roll we ordered. No wonder this place has been around for 17+ years. This was our first time, but certainly wouldn't be our last. Highly recommend!“

“I tried to get a reservation for my friend’s birthday in August, but it looked like there were some issues with Tock, the reservation system they use. That said, I truly think Taneda did their best to handle the situation as quickly and gracefully as possible. Sometimes life happens, tech issues are out of anyone’s control.

Although I wasn’t able to get a spot at the 11 AM and 11:45 AM open reservation time, I’m happy my friend was able to grab one after I stopped trying. I’ll definitely keep supporting this restaurant and will try again for my husband’s birthday in the future!

As for the food, this is hands down the best sushi I’ve had in Seattle. If I could eat here every month, I would. The staff is super friendly and the seafood is incredibly fresh. There were some seafood dishes I had never tried before, and every single one was a 10/10. I usually don’t even like uni, but the one they served didn’t have that oceany taste, it was so clean and buttery. Their sake selection was also really good!

Can’t wait to come back!“

“I enjoyed the high quality cuts of fish and unique dishes like the beni-tenshi parfait! Totally worth going just for dessert.“

“Great food, great employees ( especially Raechel). We love going to Shiku. They are very helpful with recommendations, and we've never been disappointed. We highly recommend trying them out.“

“The store's service is attentive and the workmanship is very detailed and painstaking.“

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.“

“This place has become my family's favorite teriyaki spot. I believe the lady that works there, she might be the owner? Either way, she is absolutely great. If I bring in a client or my son, she treats them great and always tries to make conversation and I love it. I hope this place stays open for a long time, one of my favorite spots that has great teriyaki, eggrolls and salad. Its hard to find a place that has ALL 3 (i am picky about my salad dressing and eggrolls LOL) Thank you so much for the good food. Ill see you guys later this week. ;)“

“The sushi rolls are fantastic, the tap list is diverse and well-selected, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a very calm atmosphere, and they have board games if you’d like to grab a drink and hang out for a bit. Definitely will be back! Would highly recommend the Ballard roll and their miso soup is a step above the rest.“

“Spicy tuna, crispy rice, you’re tired and is chasing the dragon.“

“Great place!! Food and service is excellent!“

“I love everything about this place! the owners, the food, the hospitality, the atmosphere! my partner and I stumbled upon this place a few years ago and now we go every chance we get! delicious sushi, amazing sauces, huge menu. love love love!“

“Note: We attempted to talk with the managers/staff before posting this, but we were told the fish was supposed to be this way. I didn’t think to take photos because we assumed after talking with the staff the issue would be fixed so we brought them the leftovers. We have been eating sushi for several decades and have never had fish that smelled and or looked like this. Normally we eat here in restaurant, but this last week we ordered and picked up. The tuna handrolls looked like it had been in a meat grinder and tasted bitter. The sashimi special we normally order had all kinds of connective tissue and fat clumps we had to try to tear off the meat because we could not chew through it. Instead of being soft the hamachi (yellowtail tuna) was hard chewy. I eventually spit it out in to my napkin. We gave up when it came to the salmon portion because it didn’t smell right.“

“?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!“

“I love seaweed salad here“

“This is by far the best sushi I've ever had in my life. Definitely the best sushi restaurant in all of WA state. A hole-in-the-wall gem! If you find this place, you are blessed by the sushi gods. Every time my husband and I go to a different sushi restaurant, we always think - we should have just gone to Rolls and Rolls. The Salmon Platter is so buttery and the fish melts in your mouth, the texture is just divine. The miso soup is so refreshing, and their specialty rolls all have perfect proportions and are well made.

The service is some of the best I've ever experienced at any restaurant - it's a family owned place and the son is the waiter. He is very courteous and careful about when he comes over to ask how things are going, and always seems to come at the perfect times when we need something.

The atmosphere is great, only a few tables, and classical music playing in the background. You can see the parents making the sushi right there and they will greet you and say goodbye as well when you leave.

If there is one sushi restaurant I could recommend, it would be this one. It's a must-try.

Parking: Parking is very easy, there is a parking garage right next to this place with plenty of open spots always.“

“No button for amazing staff but they were absolutely wonderful! Gracious, patient, really fast service and everything was so delicious -- great sushi and the house sake is also very nice (I recommend hot, it was good)! Highly recommend, 5 stars!!!“

“Delicious fresh affordable sushi.“

“The food is amazing here and so is the service.“

“A very nice experience today with nice service and nice ambience. I'm not a big sushi fan but there are many other nice options too here. 5 out of 5.“

“This is way overdue, we’ve been coming to Tsui since they opened. Before Covid when we were eating in-house, to making sure they made it through Covid. It’s always been our go to sushi place. They are amazing and always have been. I highly recommend eating in-house, but if you need good sushi to go order ahead and drop by grab your food and enjoy. We will miss them when we are gone.“

“I love me some Sushi 🍣. If I could eat Sushi EVERYDAY, I would. I LOVE I can stuff my face without guilt. This is a place my family heads to when its Sushi Time! The ladies are very kind and service is effortless. The food is great.. I'm satisfied.. now I WANT Sushi .. yet it's 1030pm so I'll have to wait till tomorrow.. thank you Sam for being so near by....see you soon!“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“Reasonably Priced; Outstanding Sushi!😋 Oh, and the FRIENDLY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE was very appreciated.“

“せつこさんケーキは、シアトルで一番美味しくて、夫婦揃って大好きです。My husband I love her cakes, and this is the best place for sweets in Seattle.“

“Today was my first time in with a recommendation from a friend. I came by myself and had no idea how the operations of this restaurant work. I asked a couple employees and they were very willing to help me through the system. They seated me at a bar seating in front of the conveyor belt. And explain to me with the overhead screen that I could order drinks and menu items from and I could also just take the small plates off the conveyor belt in front of me. When you are finished with your sushi plates you slide them in the opening just in front of you. You are charged individually for each plate. The other dishes you might accumulate you just leave on your table and they come by to pick them up. If you need Wasabi or anything extra I just had to ask. The sushi was very fresh and clean and nicely presented and easily recognized from the markings on the dishes with the names. There was a huge selection to choose from. Even a couple sides and cheesecake for dessert. You have fresh ginger and soy at your seat. The guard over the conveyor belt is just at the right height so you don't have to look at everyone else and then not looking at you. Also Fu Robots that roam around the restaurant not quite sure their responsibilities but they were fun to watch. I also ordered Ramen which came on a separate larger conveyor belt above and out of the way of the sushi bar. Being in a strip mall parking lot there is an extreme amount of parking and is easily accessed across from the Alderwood mall. I will definitely be back with friends and family more often. The sushi was a good price. The ramen is in a very small bowl so don't expect it to be a meal, but it tastes great. Definitely seems like a place you can bring behaved children.“

“Good presentation and solid rolls!!
I’d say this will be my new favorite neighborhood sushi spot 🫶

One tip: it is hidden in the big optum building. There’s a small door that is open also on the weekends and they are inside.“

“Tried out Sakana on a warm Friday evening and had a nice dinner! I want to highlight the excellent service and large food menu - both were greatly appreciated. Everything we received ranged from good to great, although I didn't adore my sushi deluxe order of nigiri. The shrimp tempura were especially good and I always love to see hand rolls available. It was pretty busy by the time we left so I'd recommend making reservations.“

“BEST sushi in Seattle. Good prices, GREAT staff! I go often. Ask Hehe to fix up his famous chef's special!“

“Ordering was quick and the food was really good. I will note it took a long time for our food to come out but that was probably because our party was fairly large (eight people)I'm not normally a fish person but I really enjoyed all the different kinds of sushi we got to try. The deluxe sushi meal was very good variety.

Dietary restrictions: They readily accommodated my wife's gluten intolerance“

“This place is great if you know what to get. I usually come with a small group and we order to share

- some of the cheap rolls, which are not exceptional but ARE great value for cost and complement the following really well
- tteokbokki (the spicy Korean rice cakes), optionally with ramen noodles
- the pork belly with kimchi
- fried chicken

Of these the pork belly with kimchi is the most unique – I don't know of anywhere else in Seattle that does the particular chunky, crispy cuts that Ku does, and the kimchi is a great pairing. Everyone in my group who likes pork belly loves this one.

tldr: yes, the menu is hit and miss, but if you take figure out your favorites, it's a great place to get a varied meal.“

“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.“

“I had the aloha roll. It was light and delicious. The rice is cooked perfectly. The wasabi is so good, more flavorful than intensely spicy. The sashimi is excellent quality. The white fish (called super white tuna), had zero fishy taste. I'd never tried it. The dessert was excellent. The cheesecake was one if the best I've had. Super smooth, and very fluffy, which made it too easy to finish! I really enjoyed it and was very impressed at the quality. Woodenville is lucky to have such a good quality international cuisine to add to the more mainstream (but also delicious) selection of restaurants in the area.“
