Would've given it a 5, but we went at a time when they were understaffed & we had to wait around 20min just to order. But the waitress was awesome.

Such a great spot (location, patio and water views), but boy does it need help and a clean up. Sorry, but true.

This was a nice little restaurant with the friendly staff however however the service was very very slow. We ended up leaving early because we were tired of waiting does long periods of times for our next role.

Calamari was good and the pieces of sashimi was very generous!

Loved the sushi and the Manager there was always being very attentive. It was an over all great experience I will definitely be coming back.

Got some soba noodles and it was pretty bland. The tempura shrimp that came with it were pretty tasty but I guess I just wasn't very impressed. Service was also slow with long waits between plates/drinks. Only caveat here was we got here before Google maps says they're even open, might have something to do with the experience.

I'm giving an extra star for the patio itself. Good location and view. The rest of place is a hot mess. Trust the bad reviews. This place is bad. They were out of standard items. Could not do any changes to items. Food was edible at best. Service was beyond slow. People left because they were not being taken care of when the arrived. Just avoid.

Terrible service. Our group of four waited 35 minutes for one round of drinks to never show up. The server was unhelpful, unfriendly, and almost ran into one of our party carrying plates without stopping to say sorry or pardon me.

Went expecting some decent food and good drinks. We ordered oysters, Alaskan roll, yakisoba and soba. While the oysters and sushi were ok, the yakisoba and soba was very below par. The yakisoba was flavorless and the soba was served as udon, with beef which looked like beef chuck that was microwaved. The udon/soba tasted more like vinegar than we've ever tasted and udon dish served as

Only stayed for one drink because the service was so bad. Waited 20 minutes for the waitress with a dirty table. My wife and I each finally ordered a drink. They never cleaned the empty glasses/plates and check from the previous people who sat there, but did bus the empty tables around us. Her name on the bill is Lady Wong.
Great location. We saw several groups walk into the establishment and leave immediately. Not surprised because on a sunny WA day the inside was completely empty. We set outside and the server was great, however it took us a long time to receive our food. Like you will read in other reviews the food is not memorable which is shame because the happy hour menu was affordable. (Order more than just the happy hour menu). I believe this might be a nice bar due to the location. Can catch a drink and easily transition to the amazing Kirkland waterfront. However, it is a sad restaurant.

I ordered the chicken katsu curry and while the curry and chicken were fine, the rice underneath ranged from a literal paste to crunchy. Since we were only one of three tables there, it's not like they didn't have time to serve us properly cooked rice. This was the case for most of the dishes, they were mostly fine, but sometimes had terrible components. I'd suggest avoiding this restaurant if you can.

Amazing happy hour and great people watching in the summer! Cheers!

Amazing Sunday afternoon, empty building and three tables outside including mine. Three people in my party. First, water was brought out in a half carafe for all three, had to ask three times for a refill. Second, ordered four rolls and an appetizer. One roll arrived with the app soon after. Took about ten-fifteen minutes between rolls which is very awkward when nothing of one persons rolls until number three and four arriving at the table. Ordered one extra roll, number five, after at least 15 minutes, was told they were out of sushi rice and there would be a delay. Rolls were soggy and warm when should have been cold and cold when should have been warm. Used a cash back Groupon, the waitress had no idea what we were talking about and the manager acted like it was the first she had seen of it and was not very helpful. Transaction was complete and we received our cash back. Would not recommend. Only SIX customers and they were completely unable to keep up or meet our basic needs. STAY AWAY until there is a change. (Probably after it closes)

Super cool that they have salsa dancing, even though i cant salsa dance it was fun watching. Jasmine, owner, is super hot looking, very down to earth and just really nice.
