Such a great place, food was amazing. Don’t get me started on the portion sizes, I don’t know if it’s just that me and my Fiance had a long day or the sushi is just THAT good! Anyway definitely worth it we spent 110 for all this and it was worth it!!! I’d give this 6 stars but they don’t have that!
September 2026
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...
June 2026
Overall very good. A small, crowded, lively place. The sashimi was exquisite, soup is deep in flavor.
There was little consistency to cuts of sushi and sashimi, and the tofu age was pretty great.
