I ordered a sashimi deluxe and a house sake (warm/hot) on a Sat afternoon. The restaurant was empty and I was the only customer. Food quality was good and the dish presentation was great. The sake was mediocre.
The quantity is great and I got 12pc plus a roll. The overall price including tips was ~70. For a Japanese meal in the Seattle area, that'snot bad.

Criticism: the fish (Hamachi, bincho maguro) can be fresher. The salmon roll are not that...

There was little consistency to cuts of sushi and sashimi, and the tofu age was pretty great.

I had an outstanding experience at Sushi Joa on Mercer Island—easily one of the best sushi spots in the area. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern and welcoming, making it ideal for both a casual dinner and a more elevated night out.

The quality of the fish is exceptional—fresh, clean, and clearly sourced with care. Every piece of sushi was thoughtfully prepared, with great attention to balance and presentation....
