Sushi Joa Restaurant

We love this place so much! A small place in Mercer Island, blink and you’ll miss it! But their sushi is absolutely fresh, the quantity is good, and the prices are great! Lots of selection for vegetarians - there’s tempura tofu, veggie tempura, cream cheese avocado, so many choices! We keep coming back here all the time but maybe next time we’ll do a sit down meal. The restaurant generally looks very clean and the wait staff are very nice.

"good enough" sushi in a casual setting. Varied menu with lots of options for non-fish eaters.
Decent beer and sake selection.
They will accommodate bigger parties but really best set for 4 or fewer.

The food was amazing but the service sucked and there was hair in my sister’s food. Every other time I have been it was really good but this time it was okay. The lady never came to us and we had to wait a while but overall the food was totally fine except for one dish.

Small dine in Sushi Spot, super cute place, gets busy quick so find a slow time and stop in. The monster roll was SO good. The shrimp Tempura roll was also good. I also tried the chicken teriyaki bowl, but it was not the bowl it came on a plate, with a scoop of rice and was loaded with mostly onions (I don't like onions particularly). It did taste yummy, I ate most of it. Fairly priced, although the shrimp Tempura roll only came with five pieces for $3 less than the larger roll, it's more of a half roll. If your going to get a good sized roll go with the rolls that are $16-18 just so you aren't disappointed with quantity for price. Overall, id definitely stop in again, it was good.

The sashimi was bursting with freshness and melted in my mouth. The special Tuna Tataki roll was something I'll be dreaming about tasting again.
