“It was nice when you used to be able to walk-in, but for good reason SKT has grown in popularity so I would recommend to always book a reservation or you may not get a table. It has a great mix of traditional sushi items, as well as unique offerings that we can't find elsewhere. We used to always order à la carte but recently tried the omakase and the slight variations are awesome.“
“Visiting my brother and he took me to his favorite casual sushi place. I can see why it’s his favorite!!!!! The service was outstanding and the servers were very attentive. It was a comforting place to be. The sushi was fresh and scrom-SHUS.“
“First time for us here, celebrating our 3rd anniversary of meeting. Excellent food, service, and prices. No reservations in a really popular venue, so plan for a slight wait. Staff is awesome, and explained dishes we weren't familiar with.? The venue is noisy, so don't expect a subdued, intimate experience. We'll definitely be back!“
“Another reels recommendation. Cash and Venmo onlyWe live in issaquah so this place is quite the trek. My partner was particularly drawn in by the oversized roll with a variety of fish.Maybe I picked the wrong menu items, but overall not sure what the hype is about. The oversized roll is 30$+ so it’s not like it’s cheaper on a per serving basis.The fish was also so cold to the point where it hurt my teeth to eat (I do have sensitive teeth, but I’ve never had trouble with sushi before). Having so many different fish in a roll meant I couldn’t actually taste the individual flavors very well. I’m also not a fan of raw green onions paired with sushi.The other rolls also weren’t anything special. We got a scallop nigiri which was good tho.Overall probably won’t be driving an hour to come here again.“
“Omokase with Nakano-san is a truly special experience. Knowledgeable and personable, he serves a variety of tasty nigiri to delight your palate. Sit at the sushi bar for a memorable evening. When Nakano-san chooses, you try fish you might not have chosen yourself. A fun night for sushi lovers!If you can't get a seat at the bar, order a variety for the table. Staff are there to help you choose something special. Photos are from a March 2024 visit. Notice the variety of old standards and seasonal fish. Enjoy!“
“Food was fresh miso soup some of the best I've had and I usually don't care for it. We had two rolls, and it was a lot of food. I found it to be kind of pricey, but good quality food and a lot of it. the restaurant itself is a little dark and hard. It didn't feel like a sushi place but I gave it four stars because the food really was outstanding.“
“As a sushi lover, I was so happy about the quality of seafood of the three rolls I tried. I went out of my comfort zone and tried a dish called "chawanmushi" and it was so good! The staff were friendly and knowledgable and the restaurant had a warm vibe. I will return and bring others!“
“My family enjoys the Wasabi factory, the sushi has always tasted good, and my son demands we go here for it. Personally, I love the breaded chicken it's so crunchy and awesome. The staff has always been friendly and kind, especially to my kids.“
“Little loud. Great sushi for the price. Easy to seat 2 people quickly, small wait for a table if you have more people. Very friendly staff. Vegan and gluten free options. I visit every 2 weeks when I get my paycheck.Vegetarian options: Vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“Food was amazing. I had a sushi date with a couple friends and we came hungry, we ordered takoyaki, gyoza, 7 rolls, and some sake and it all was delicious.Service was really nice, place is clean, it is a bit small and seating is close together, it is what it is though.“
“The grilling, freshness, juiciness, and teriyaki sauce of the chicken were excellent.It was nice that Korean-style chicken was made and sold separately from breast, tai, and wings, so you could taste different flavors.It seems like it was a godsend that there was rice cake in it.. hahaThe taste and service are top notch!A home that is sure to be visited again!“
“We four had dinner and drinks; two among our party live nearby and are regulars. I really enjoyed the Bibimbap I ordered with beer!BEER/WINE: 4.0. Good selection of beers, and limited but decent wines. We were all satisfied with our choices of beers and wines.FOOD: 4.0.- Bibimbap: 4.5. A real standout and I will order again. I hadn't had Bibimbap this good since living in Hawaii and Guam. I chose to have with Tofu, though beef is also available. Especially good with a cold beer.- Sashimi: 3.5. The Japanese person in our group rated her DELUXE DINNER as quite good for previously-frozen fish, and says she would order it again. I ordered one tako sashimi and would rate it a 2.5; in future I won't order individual sashimi.SERVICE: 3.5. Enthusiastic and accurate.AMBIANCE: 4.0. Indoor and some outdoor seating. It became quite full by 6pm on the Friday we visited (with a full parking lot), but never got so noisy that we couldn't easily carry on a conversation.“
“Possibly the best meal of my life. We dined omakase and left full and very satisfied. The cook and server were very attentive and friendly, and clearly had fun along with the customers. The food was a wonderful blend of straightforward servings of high quality fish and some more adventurous and surprising dishes such as cod milt and a yuzu scallop. Truly one to remember and I can't recommend it highly enough.“
“Bamboo sushi is a staple for date nights and great place to enjoy both fresh sashimi snd prepared roles. We tell people to get the green machine and rainbow roles. The hoki poki box entree is amazing. The miso soup and the edamame are great starters. Last time we were in we tried the Chirashi bowl as well which was great. The service at the bar is really quick and although we haven’t indulged, I hear their cocktails are good as well.Vegetarian options: There are multiple tasty roles and other dishes served without meat or animal products.Dietary restrictions: They will ask at the beginning of the meal and they will accommodate as necessary.Parking: There are multiple free parking lots and parking garages in the area.Kid-friendliness: This is a kid friendly establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: University place and the surrounding restaurants are all wheelchair accessible.“
“The workers greeted us very warmly & they were all working hard & skillfully like a well oiled machine...you could tell the servers & sushi chefs were well seasoned. It was a very warm day and we were seated by the front windows, which even with the thick curtains, was still acting like a radiant heated wall! Not a big deal for me as I run cold, but if you are a hot person...this might have bothered you. I was actually wearing a tank top so I was perfect...it was double date night. The fish on sushi & sashimi platters was buttery & fresh. Lots of roll varieties too just how I like it. We started with some appetizers, nice sized shareable portions of tempura calamari & chicken karage. We also ordered agedashi tofu & veggie & shrimp temp, perfect portion sizes for a party of 4 for appetizers. No one ordered any entrees or bentos...although they look really good, we stuck to sushi. They give you a sushi list and a pen and you mark down what you want yourself...I like that too, more control on server making mistakes! I love trying ikura(salmon roe) at different restaurants to see if the chefs marinate the delicate eggs or not. I was pleasantly surprised to find this order of ikura marinated. It was slightly sweet with a hint of sake and not too salty as some restaurants will make it. This order was rich & creamy with the addition of quail egg. We ordered a small sashimi combo with salmon, yellowtail, toro & another white fish...I don't know if it was bonito or what, they didn't go over the items when they dropped the dish...but it was the one in the front on the left. They have an extensive roll list which has a ton of California based rolls topped with numerous options. All really good, but California roll base is kind of boring...maybe they could switch up the centers a little. We got Las Vegas roll...completely deep fried, yummy if you like that type of roll, Polar Bear roll, Cali roll topped with white tuna & seared salmon...YUM, a lemon salmon roll, Cali roll topped with salmon & lemon segments...they go so well together!!!! We also had a Firecracker roll which is a spicy tuna roll topped with more spicy tuna & fried minced garlic...really good with a little extra heat, maybe some jalapeños minced up in there but so tasty. We also ordered a White Christmas roll which is a shrimp tempura roll topped with white tuna, Avacado & a wasabi cream sauce...super tasty. Can't have sushi without a Spider roll & I always have an ume shiso roll...this one had lots of julienned cucumbers in it & a negihama roll to appease my clean, raw fish craving. Excellent sushi & the wait for our food was good. We had reservations & I definitely recommend taking the time to make one if you want guaranteed seating, I saw a lot of walk ins turned away or told they'd have an ample wait. If you're up north, I'd highly recommend Sushi Zen.“
“This is our go to for teriyaki, only done takeout cuz it’s a easy dinner/lunch on a work day. Best bang for your buck with decent quality food.For $16 you get teriyaki/katsu with salad, 4 pieces of California roll and side of tempura plus miso soup! When pho prices are $12~18 nowadays, this place is GREAT value. The people who works there are always nice and work quickly.“
“One of our longtime favorite sushi restaurants, Sam's is always delicious. On our recent trip, we enjoyed nigiri, bento box, and udon soup--it was all outstanding. This restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Street parking is hit and miss (no parking lot unfortunately). Now that bento now comes with maguro (tuna) instead of hamashi, but the wait staff graciously provided hamachi (yellowtail) this time only. We'll be back!Kid-friendliness: family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Door is wide enough, but needed help opening (old building). Ramp just inside was wide, easy to walk down. Regular tables, able to wheel up to one. Didn't use the rest room. No handicap parking but you may find street parking nearby. We found a place out front, there's an old ramp right here too (former loading dock?). Staff was pleasant and helpful.“
“Great place if you're looking for a local sushi bar. It's not going to win any international awards, but for a Lynnwood sushi restaurant, it is very good.The owners are always pleasant and helpful, as said in some other reviews, the decor isn't bad, it was just done by the owners and isn't fancy or high end. Perfect spot to go for lunch or dinner, always room, never packed or uncomfortable, great proverbial hole in the wall that serves good food, it's clean, and the people are nice.Edit: I am giving the food here 4 stars based on living in Okinawa and eating some of the best sushi in the world. For a US restaurant, the sushi here is top notch. Don't let the 4 start rating fool you onto thinking this isn't a great sushi spot.“
“The inside is like mixing up between jazz vinyl and traditional Japanese restaurant theme. The light is quite dim, and the overall feeling is unique (or distracted?).I like the raw fishes they served. I would like to try pieces of sushi next time.Tempura is okay. Not that great but not that bad neither.Udon is pretty...different than usual flavor. It's more like seafood-ish which is from bonito broth according to their description. I didn't like that much personally.“
“High quality and tasty rolls! Had the Salmon Lemon, Shrip tempura, Spider rolls. Fresh ingredients and excellent portions. Also tried the spicy ramen which was delicious and very well presented in the bowl. Kids had the Katsu Don and gobbled it up. Servers were attentive and overall inviting. Will come again!“
“I absolutely love this place. I used to be a Musashi's follower, but I got tired of feeling like they were doing me a favor by serving me. Kozue welcomes you and honestly has amazing, fresh fish! Their sushi chef really knows what he is doing. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.“
“Good terriayaki, constantly the same everyday! I have eaten more terriayaki than most people, I know teriyaki, and I'm just starting to share my thoughts because I have some extra time in my life. One thing you can expect from this place is constantancy in their food. The teriyaki chicken is juicy, and not rubbery meaning they know how to grill it!. The spicy chicken is cooked with love by infusioning their spicy sauce by wok and adding fresh cut onions, just by taking the time to wok it tells you they are not lazy. The other things on their menu are decent and is above the standards in Seattle's terriayaki world.Serving size is decent, and you will have a little extra if you are the average person with a appetiteThe only issue I have is price. You decide for yourself......I ordered:1 spicy chicken1 terriayaki chicken1 order gyoza2 coke bottlesCost= $46.80“
“Update! Still amazing. Stop reading reviews and go eat ?My favorite Sushi place in the country! I travel constantly and eat sushi everywhere I go (near the ocean). The quality of Fish is amazing. The service is always great. Their selection of rolls are the best tasting ever. Get the Seattle Roll. They also surprised us with a piece of cake for my gf birthday.“
“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.“
“Katsu Burger in Ballard was the perfect thing to find on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with genuine smiles and warmth from the owners. They’re not just serving up burgers; they’re creating a welcoming community hub! We indulged in the Umami Wagyu Burger x 2 and a side of their Nori Fries, complete with the heavenly trio of dipping sauces – curry mayo, nori ranch, and wasabi mayo. Each bite was a taste sensation- flavor bomb MOMENT, prepared with obvious care and attention to detail.The owners’ kindness TRULY just shines through in every aspect of their establishment, making you feel like part of the family from the moment you arrive. If you’re searching for more than just a meal – a genuine experience filled with delicious food and heartfelt hospitality – then Katsu Burger is the place for you. Give them a visit and let them wrap you in their warm embrace with a side of curry mayo.“
“I was here with my fiance for the first time and we both have a good time! Not only the food was excellent, the service and ambience were also exceptional. Our chef is so funny and made this experience super memorable. You pick the meat and they cook in front of you kinda thing. All meals come with rice, noodles, and veggies. The price is about $30-60ish (depending on the meat selection), we think its a good deal because the of the high quality meat and great service. We would be def returning and take our friends here!“
“AA Sushi is a fantastic sushi place, it was my first time trying out this place, and I love the food. There is such a wide selection to choose from at AA Sushi. We placed a large order for take-out, and they had gotten everything right. The sushi is fresh, bright, and tastes fantastic. I also love the chicken katsu, the Miso soup, and one of my favorite rolls is the Caterpillar Roll; it has Eel, cucumber topped with avocado, and eel sauce! In addition, AA Sushi has terrific customer service.“
“After the first bite, we said “never again are we trying another place.” Consistently the best sushi of my life, we keep trying to find a place closer to where we live, but the hour drive for this art is worth it and makes anything else feel ridiculous In comparison. Mango Kiwi and Seahawks are our current favorites, but really it’s all amazing. Fish is incredibly consistently fresh, and it is so clear the sushi chef has put his life into this.“
“We loved the Bruce Lee roll! Some might call the service "slower" but I just call it a busy dinner rush. AKA, don't be unrealistic if you show up at dinner time and expect everything the second you order it. They were all busting and the servers were super kind. Great experience! Will definitely go back.“
“You owe it to yourself to try this sushi restaurant. The quality is the best I have had in Seattle, and it is the farthest thing you can get from the conveyor belt sushi restaurant. If you want a traditional, homey, sushi atmosphere this is it. Miso soup is the best I have had in the area, and the garlic edamame is also great. The entire staff was so warm and welcoming. Great sushi, great value, great restaurant.“
“I came in at the last 5 minutes because i didn’t notice the time. The staff were very accommodating and had my food ready in less than 5 mins. I got home and sat down to eat and let me tell you, this is the best teriyaki I’ve had in a long time! Well done!!“
“Recently moved to the area and I'll admit I started coming here first off because of its vicinity to me but wow I have become a loyal customer for a lot more then that! Always speedy, very fair portion sizes, delicious food! I mean look at that poke bowl! It's beautiful and it is BIG, very proportionate (nothing worse then wanting POKE and it's all sides with a piece of sashimi sized tuna) not the case here! Tons of rice and lettuce underneath as well, she's a hefty gal trust me. Looking forward to my next bowl and trying a new entree!“
“The food was really good and you get large servings for leftovers and the customer service is excellent and the tables are always clean. I was a little cold, though, especially when people walk through the door. Everything else was amazing!“
“Quick and efficient service when ordering. I stopped over at QFC while I was waiting. I was putting my groceries in my car and the woman who was working behind the counter brought my order out to me. Above and beyond service and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness. Food was delicious with generous serving sizes.“
“When I saw this new restaurant at Westfield Southcenter I was intrigued by the ' Sushi Burrito ' concept. So we tried it and it was delightful. While I ordered the 'extra protein ' on my snow crab burrito, it wasn't necessary. I'll be back!“
“Some of the best Teriyaki we’ve had in the Seattle area! Amazing orange chicken too. Very friendly and welcoming staff. We were happily surprised they came and let us know that the green tea and miso soup was included! Super clean and fast. Highly recommend this for lunch or dinner.“
“Busy area near the kitchen for the family of employee. Looks bad from entry but could be decluttered. Otherwise nice atmosphere.Vegetarian options: There were not any specific vegetarian offerings. I looked around a bit on menu. However this food is generally a good idea for Pescetarians. Vegetarians would look for soy here.Kid-friendliness: I saw a lot of kids toys and nursing equipment“
“Muto has a wide variety of Japanese food items, including sashimi, sushi, ramen, udon, curry, and even lunch specials.I got the lunch special #4 which comes with chicken katsu, 4 California rolls, and three pieces of nigiri. It also came with rice, salad with sesame dressing, and a little sweet egg omelette piece.My friend got the garlic ramen with pork and marinated soft egg. This is probably one of my favorite ramens on the menu. So yummy!We've been here twice, as it's a good spot to go to after spending some time at Olympus spa, just around the corner.“
“After many years of driving past this spot we decided to give it a shot. Great location, plenty of free parking, and decent food. We ordered two rolls I've never had before, 1) Golden Dragon and 2) Double Tuna Roll - both were delish. Our only complaint was the selection of music that was playing. Very very odd for an Asian restaurant.“
“Rolls, not bowls. Rolls, not bowls. Say it with me. The rolls are great -- fresh and cheap, with decent rice. The (teriyaki) bowls are not. [the chirashi bowl is pretty good too but that is 1/2 roll, 1/2 bowl]Specifically, our chicken teriyaki bowls had no flavor (or sauce). My in-laws (who generally like bland foods) said they would try it again after putting coconut aminos on it.The ~15% 'tax' is dubious, but the value is still good. Our order was ready for us promptly when we arrived. I would definitely order a party platter in the future for family dinners!“
“There is a full vegan separate menu with so many vegan delightful sushi and other entrees and a vegan chef preparing those dishes. I loved ever bite I had there. Also the atmosphere is nice and the waiters friendly. Small space though, if you're done eating you are kindly presented the check real fast.“
“*UberEats Delivery Review*Packaging: 5/5 Everything was packed nice and secure, no spillage! Utensils were provided upon request. Preparation time didn't take too long either.Food: 5/5So good! Only snapped a photo of the Chicken Breast Teriyaki. A great alternative if you are trying to watch your calorie intake somewhat and want something more high protein. Was slightly dry but they did a good job considering it's chicken breast.Spicy chicken was also good. Our favorite though, was the chicken katsu. It was so juicy, and the portions were huge. I think they use dark meat for the katsu, which I prefer because white meat is just way too try. I'll definitely order from here again!“
“The food was excellent and the staff attentive and very personable, even on a busy Saturday night. Our party included 2 (very) young children, and the table set-up already included the requested booster seat when we arrived. Shortly after, kid-friendly waster glasses and crayons/paper were brought. Deluxe! With the children occupied, we were able to relax and enjoy our celebration and felt that other restaurant patrons could enjoy their evening too!“
“I just got door dash from this restaurant. I was CRAVING tempura and they didn't disappoint. The tempura was still a bit crispy despite the transport to my home. It came with miso soup which I didn't know. I can't report on the look of the restaurant since I wasn't there. My food seemed to be made quickly based on the tracker on DoorDash. Give these people a try!“
“We love this place! Me and my husband come here all the time for sushi! When I moved to this area I was looking for a good sushi place and we found it! They have the most amazing lion king roll, go Seahawks roll and Phili Roll!! You have got to try this place! Plus they have the sweetest employees here!“
“Haven't been in here for a while since we moved out of town but came back and really enjoyed that I could go out for some Japanese food. This is really spectacularService was absolutely stellar. I had lots and lots of questions and I think all of the weight staff stopped by to answer my questions for me and I ended up getting the pokeball and I am really delighted with it. They explained to me they've got several different kind of sesame bowls and I like the pokey bowl. It has a really nice sauce to it and there were just tons of food in here just and very delightfully presented. I did ask for the lettuce instead of rice and they said it would be an upcharge of $2 which I didn't want to go for. But that would have been a nice addition if they would have been that the atmosphere was a lively there all lots of tables were full. There's a sports bar football game on right now. Music playing in the background. The chefs are busy at the sushi bar. The tea is really great. I definitely know this is one of the places I like to go to. So sorry my husband doesn't want to eat Japanese anymore. This is a real treatWe live up in Mount Baker now and it's 100 mi trip to get down to Everett but I was down here today and thankful to come out of my way a little bit to be able to eat here.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility spots are at the end of the walkways so you have to walk past a couple of storefronts to get here. Not too far.“
“So fresh and so yummy! I absolutely love their take on the humble inari sushi. Inari is a favorite little bite of mine, usually just a sweet and vinegary little rice stuffed tofu skin pocket, but Arigato puts a delightful little twist by turning it into a roll with some fresh avocado and cucumber inside. It's pretty exciting to try a different twist on a classic! Also great is their Negihama roll, with yellowtail and green onion - the green onion gives such a fresh brightness and flavor that really set it apart. Just discovered their deep fried avocado roll tonight, and the creamy and crunchy combination was a real explosion in my mouth. Definitely a repeat order! We love this little sushi spot in our neighborhood and it's our go-to for sushi night takeout.“
“Generous and nicely varied portions in the bento boxes. The salmon collar was fine. The karaage chicken was well cooked but too cold by the time we got it home. I'm sure it would have been great if we'd been able to have it at the restaurant. The matcha roll cake is listed as their most popular dessert -- it's easy to understand why. An outstanding balance of colors, textures and flavors. I hope to remember to get it every time!“
“This is the second time I've been to this restaurant. Both occasions have been very pleasant. The first time I came around 7pm, it was packed. Today I arrived at 5pm and I am the only person here (both visits were on random weekdays). I ordered the spicy white tuna poke and a nigori - both were very tasty. The restaurant is clean and the staff have been very friendly.“
“I got the number 1 Benton box. Let me tell you, it was soooo goood! Really phenomenal, everything tasted fresh and delicious. You don’t need fancy food, you just need good food. Totally worth the price, I will definitely be back. Also the chicken wasn’t drowning in teriyaki sauce, it was the perfect ratio of sauce to chicken, and it was cooked exactly right! This is my new favorite spot!“
