“We wanted to get some lunch and bento box sounded like a great idea. After searching around Bellevue and Redmond area, we decided to try here. Honestly, we were debating between Joy box and here, and tempura on this menu convinced us. We ordered two bento boxes: 1) spicy teriyaki chicken and tempura combo A; 2) spicy beef teriyaki and tempura combo A (vegetable and shrimp tempuras). The chicken was great, but the beef was not spicy at all. We loved the tempuras, so light, crispy and tasty! Highly recommend it. We came around 12:30pm on a Saturday and the place was not busy at all, only a couple of tables were occupied. We will order take out from here again for sure. Love their tempuras. Maybe next time, we will try their rolls.“
“I love Musashi's. Delicious food, decent serving sizes for the price (especially the onigiri), quick service, and complimentary tea at each table! I can always find a spot to sit. My one complaint is that the seating is not very comfortable.I've also ordered takeout from them using DoorDash and everything comes just as I ordered it and very quickly, too!“
“I have always enjoyed my meals here. Everything is prepared well, presented very nicely, and tastes great. Also, the pricing is quite fair.Sometimes parking can be a problem, and they are a bit hesitant to seat single diners at a table, even the small two-person tables. So be prepared to sit at the sushi bar if you are dining alone.Wheelchair accessibility: The parking spaces are on a bit of a slope but the sidewalk along the building, and through the entrance, is quite flat.“
“Not sure what people are complaining about pricing. So long as you are ordering a lower priced protein like chicken, shrimp or just a steak its hard to find a complete dinner for $30-$40 these days.The service is a bit of a miss mistaking the tables orders but rectified it quickly.Don't sleep on the tempura ice cream it's actually really well balanced and the cake is not overly sweet, reminding me of a tempura version of a baked alaska“
“I have been dying to come here and let me tell you the entire place does not disappoint!! The food was sooooooo tasty and look so good at the same time. The portion size is super generous. The inside of the this place is absolutely adorable. And the workers are super gentle. I had such a good time here. This is going to be on my " must come back " list“
“Good meal. Service was very good. I was hoping I could say “great”, but when compared to other experiences at places like Sawada, Kyubey, Yasuda, Nakazawa, etc, it’s just ok. Don’t get me wrong - we enjoyed ourselves but it was overpriced when compared to the greats.“
“I've been here twice now. I ordered the combo with spicy chicken teriyaki, noodles and egg rolls. The spicy chicken teriyaki was really good, the noodles also good. Complimentary soup was good. You can also get Complimentary Jasmine green tea ?. Good service, nice and clean bathroom. Overall great and it will be my new go to teriyaki place in Woodinville.“
“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“
“I just wanted to thank the amazing staff at Orenji for going above and beyond tonight to correct an error in an order. We ordered via a delivery app and two of our rolls were accidentally not included, which was somewhat tragic because they were the only rolls that my son would eat. :pHowever, the restaurant staff was amazingly helpful and accommodating when I called about the issue. They offered a couple of different solutions, and in the end gave us complimentary dessert and appetizer and had one of their own workers drive the missing rolls to our house as he was leaving his shift.They couldn't have been more helpful! We've ordered from this place multiple times and this is the first time we've had an issue, so it was definitely just a one-off anomaly. The food was delicious as usual, and I was extremely impressed with how hard they worked to correct the error. We will continue to order from Orenji regularly!“
“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.“
“Not a frequent reviewer but I wanted to highlight this place. I came in knowing I was allergic to seafood (wife wanted sushi) and was a bit worried on what I could order. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating the owner was! He made sure there was no cross-contamination when making my order and was very kind the whole time. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and pork combo which was amazing. Would recommend if you're in the area!“
“As far as sushi options at this price point go in Bellevue this is a great spot. I prefer this to japonessa or kobe around the same price point. High quality rolls - ordered spider, unagi, and spicy hamachi, all very good and well rolled. Would order all 3 again. It's not top tier sushi and isn't priced like it, I found a lot of value at the price point.“
“Sushi chef made polite conversation and the servers checked in on me often in a friendly polite manner.At first I hesitated to get the rice with my chirashi bowl. But so glad I did, it was just as delicious as all of the raw plump fishes. Sooo yummy and delicious.“
“Absolutely the best Bento lunch I’ve ever had! I got the lunch special number one Karage chicken: It was light crisply battered served with fresh lemon. There dusted rice, Mac salad (not too much mayonnaise with nice piece of blanched broccoli, a salmon, avocado roll, Edamame a fresh orange slice, wakame salad, pickled ginger and wasabi. Then for dessert was a yummy tamago patty- little tomato, too! Price was reasonable. I will definitely be coming back!“
“One of my favorite restaurants for over 5 years now! The owner, assuming he is, you’ll probably know who I’m talking about because he’s the most attentive one there and has the memory of a god haha, he’ll remember you and what you ordered for weeks, months, years! Even if you don’t come in for a month or so he’ll still remember you when you do and I’ve had him remember certain favorites of mine after months of not being able to come in! Super nice guy and reasonably priced food, I miss the conveyor belt so much though, but love this place!Wheelchair accessibility: I’ve come here with a walker before, they have bar seating at the ends and chairs can be moved out of the way to be able to sit in a wheelchair. I’ve sat in the booth and had my walker moved off to the side without an issue.“
“At first I was a bit skeptical, given it is a sushi restaurant in the middle of the suburbs. It is a nice and clean restaurant. I will say when dining in, the experience was better than any other sushi restaurants I have been to. Right when you are seated, they offered complimentary hot towels (to wipe your hands) and miso soups (that are amazingly good). We're big fans of seared salmon nigiri and it is a typically what we order when eating sushi, I can say that they were spot on! Good size pieces of quality fish. With the right amount of sauces. And the presentation was great! The food was pretty quick as well. Their service was friendly. Apart from their dine in experience, I have also ordered a bulgogi and California rolls to go. Still exceeded expectations, and was delicious! 10/10 would highly recommend!“
“Just went with my partner for our Valentine's Day date, and it was amazing! We had the kitchen bento and the sushi bento as well as the special Sea Dragon roll- it was a perfect lunch date! The sea dragon roll was the highlight, it was balanced and beautiful, I'm struggling to express how perfect this roll is. I'm so happy we went the atmosphere was so relaxing truly 10/10 I can't wait to go back!“
“The best sushi in Issaquah. Its always fresh and deelish and love the daily specials. Their signature rolls are creative and very tasty. The service is always friendly. Even though its in the 'Quah's sketchiest strip mall, the atmosphere and ambience make it a good place for dining in with friends, maybe to include some wine, sake or Japanese beer. This is my go-to for great sushi.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Second time going to the restaurant because I was quite impressed on the first visit. On the second visit, we ordered sushi assortment. Everything tasted great except Uni; Uni tasted very bad and rotten with smell of toilet. I wish the chef checks on the freshness of the ingredients more carefully. Probably won't visit this place for a while.“
“Super fast - 10 minutes from sitting down to polishing off these delicious avocado and cucumber rolls! Absolutely divine, service was excellent. The German opera playing in the background was an unexpected surprise but I enjoyed it all the same. Will definitely be back.“
“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.“
“Our favorite Japanese restaurant on the east side. Some of our favorite items include the kabocha fried rice, chicken katsu dinner, mackerel / saba, albacore tataki salad, any of the sushi and tempura. It can get busy here for dinner on the weekend, so I suggest reservations.“
“This is one of those places that ticks all the boxes and gives you an unforgettable experience. The attention to detail with every aspect: greetings, service, food, drink, atmosphere; all were tended to with great care and love for the art.We went for our wedding anniversary which happens to also be my birthday. We went in *expecting* an extravagant meal, and we were still absolutely blown away. The views alone are breathtaking. Pair that with the best service and food I've ever received, and you're still just touching the surface of what they offer at Ascend. Even their bread service is worth chatter. We've already decided this is our forever spot for our anniversary moving forward. Can't wait to try one of their Holiday Prix Fixe celebrations.Thanks so much to everyone there, especially our servers, for giving us an unforgettable experience to talk about for years to come.“
“We liked this place overall. The sushi was pretty good quality, we got 6 rolls. Our favorite was the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. They did mess up and give us a vegetable roll instead of a California roll but they gave us the right roll for free. The place is a bit small and cramped but for the price and quality of sushi it is definitely worth it!“
“Talk about finding a hidden gem in a small town! We've gotten take out here often over the past couple of years, and have been pleasantly pleased with all the dishes we've tried so far. It's easily one of my family's favorites in our rotation of take out night! I'm thrilled to have actual good Sushi right here in town.Just know this: don't order too late, or just before closing.Our favorite items are: any of the fried rice options, any of the udon options, and any of the Sushi/Rolls/etc.On an off topic note, I find it funny how pretty much EVERY Asian cuisine establishment around here (greater Seattle and surrounding areas) has the word "TERIYAKI" in its name.“
“We love going here to eat, it’s nice and fancy but not too pricey and has good sushi. We liked the Sweet Sensation, Mexican ninja, Seattle crunch and skin on skin (in that order). I think the value in a well made California roll is underestimated and oh did they make a mean spicy California roll. Edamame was good too. Not the biggest fan of the scorpion sting and Barcelona sunset.Note: happy hour EVERYDAY (even Saturday) after 9pm and some other midday time. Highly recommend Japonessa.“
“Food here are amazing!! All the sushi rolls and udon we had were outstanding! Highly recommend fried oysters appetizer! Hiyashi Wakame seaweed salad was great too. Service was great, friendly staff and they have a really nice atmosphere. I'm excited to go again with our friends this week. This place is not an average sushi restaurant. If you want good quality sushi, I highly recommend!“
“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!“
“Always great! Food is amazing and the staff is always attentive and professional. Price is reasonable also, so you can't go wrong here. Dress is casual to dressy.Update - 3/17/2024Just got done eating at one of our favorite Sushi restaurants, as always food was DELICIOUS ?, the staff was courteous and great and the place looked immaculate!!Highly recommend this places to foodies and people that want to eat great food at a reasonable price!“
“*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!“
“Always a great site for drinks, food and very family friendly too for all ages until l000PM. Hawaiian/Polynesian decorations are beyond great and the food be it Hawaiian based or Sushi based with a really nice Sushi counter there too, is beyond awesome. Plus, I love the Karaoke Friday nights where it is nice to sing with children and or enjoy how talented many of our young ones are. I have not experienced family karaoke one night a week since Shakey's pizza in Burien used to do it 20 to 30 years ago. Trust me, if if you're single, or a fun, nice place to eat, excellent service, staff and good food, check it out.“
“I had a great Bento box here today. Took me forever to decide what to eat. Their menu is huge for me! I'll be back soon so I can try something else. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because I lived in Japan for many years. Nothing compares to the food in Japan! But it sure was nice finding this restaurant today. I'll definitely be coming back!“
“My wife and I are big fans of I love bentos, a teriyaki restaurant in Kirkland. We go there at least twice a month, and we are always satisfied with the food and the service. The food is fresh, tasty, and generous. We usually order to go, and the food is always enough for two meals. My go to plate is the spicy chicken and spicy beef teriyaki plate, which comes with rice and a salad. The meat is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is just the right amount of spicy. The salad is my favorite part, because of the dressing they use. It is creamy and tangy, and goes well with the greens.When we eat in, I like to get the bento boxes, because they have sushi as well. The sushi is made with quality ingredients, and the fish is fresh and delicious. The bento boxes also come with tempura, gyoza, and miso soup. They are a great deal for the price and the variety.The owners of I love bentos are really nice and friendly, and they always greet us with a smile. They make us feel welcome and appreciated. They also run the restaurant efficiently and cleanly. We never have to wait long for our food, and the place is always spotless.Pro tip: take in your own bag to save some money when ordering take out. They charge a small fee for their paper bags, but they are happy to pack your food in your own bag if you bring one.I love bentos is one of our favorite places to eat in Kirkland. We highly recommend it to anyone who loves teriyaki or Japanese food. It is a hidden gem that you will not regret trying.“
“Great service, food was delicious (bento box & sushi), came out fast and tasted fresh. Someone ordered the teriyaki and it looked and smelled really good (I will order this next time). I also ordered a customized roll and they did a perfect job, and the price was very reasonable. I will say there was Spanish music playing in the restaurant, that was weird.“
“We’ve coming here since Big fish open. It is a hidden gem. Very fresh sushi & reasonable price! I love some of the unique creative rolls like White tower, Lolipop. They also have kid friendly chopsticks, and my kid love the hand rolls.“
“Sushi is awesome! Salmon bowl was incredible. Fresh, great flavor, wonderful presentation. This is located in Skyline Tower, so more focused on grab and go from the surrounding buildings, hence the knock on atmosphere. Highly recommend for a quick sushi bite during the week!“
“The food is amazing, and the service is also amazing, the guy at the counter is very nice, and this is the best teriyaki place I have ever been to. Me and my friends completely destroy every meal we get because it is so good. We eat it in like 5 seconds. I highly recommend going “
“This has been my go to sushi place for years. Service is great and the sushi is fresh. It's a pretty laid back and relaxed atmosphere. I recently started branching out to try other foods here (usually get the sushi combo platter) Latest I tried were these cold udon noodles you dip in sauce. Probably the bounciest noodles I've ever eaten. 10/10“
“I’ve been going here for more than 10 years. Really nice place.It’s had its ups and downs as management has changed over time, but they’ve kept it together. Food is great, the people are nice (especially if you have been going regularly). Atmosphere is cool.Overall a great place to eat at reasonable prices. Their delivery is great too!“
“Really enjoyed grabbing lunch here! They have a great mix of food and I definitely appreciate their healthier options. Always very clean and the owners are super friendly as well. Would definitely recommend stopping by for a quick bite, especially during the workday“
“There's always a long wait on weekends. Make sure you download their app to join the waitlist ahead of time. But it's worth the wait! Everything is fresh and tasty. I love the huge variety of options. It's also a great place for people not to sure about sushi to try new things or order something else off the hot dish menu.Parking: Make sure you pull onto the bottom floor of the garage it's much harder to access from the upper levels.“
“The sushi was fresh and the teriyaki was delicious in a spacious and comfortable space. The service was excellent and the taste was memorable.I recommend itDietary restrictions: It was nice because it was a belt-style meal so I could choose what I wanted to eat and also order what I wanted.Kid-friendliness: There were chairs for children to sit on, chairs for individuals, and a variety of chairs for families to sit on.Wheelchair accessibility: I was able to park right in front and go in.“
“My grandson's favorite place when we're hanging out. He always gets gyoza and miso soup. I get chicken teriyaki because it comes with a side of miso soup. Great combo and always food left for a snack. I really like the food, selection and service. Call ahead to go orders are quick and accurate. We also dine in occasionally.“
“Nice casual japanese sushi spot! This place has unique tatami mat style seating and is decently spacious. We ordered the crazy horse roll, citrus salmon roll, factoria roll and vegetable tempura.All the rolls were pretty good and the sashimi was smooth. The crazy horse was packed with chunks of salmon, tuna, and hamachi which was nice.The batter on the tempura was decently light and flaky.Overall, this seems like a great non-traditional sushi spot for a large menu of options.“
“Pokeworks is my favorite place! The food is amazing the best. I’ve been eating here for years and it never fails to disappoint. James specifically is the nicest employee always greets customers with a smile.Vegetarian options: Many veg options“
“Very nice and cozy dinning room with a sushi bar. Service was flawless.Menu was nice and all the rolls we ordered came out quick and looked BEAUTIFUL. My only complaint is the dishes lacked that umami flavor I really enjoy with Sushi and other Japanese dishes.Maybe I'm being picky, but there was a brown sauce that was poured on 4 of the 5 rolls we ordered that was extremely sweet. (I want to say it was Unagi but it was so sweet I wasn't sure)My favorite roll is typically "the Dragon roll" or Eel with Unagi and fish, I typically get one almost every time I go for sushi.I was shocked at how sweet it was, almost like they had used Oysters sauce in place of the Unagi. The first few bites were delicious but the sweetness kept building and eventually made the rolls sort of a chore to finish.I typically like more Salty, bold, Umami "yummy" flavored rolls so I was disappointed with these as I had to supplement every bite with left over gyoza sauce and the table soy sauce.My pallet is obviously not the final say in flavor but I would only recommend the Sushi Rolls if you like them in the sweeter side.We orderedGyoza (phenomenal filling and the sauce was perfect)Fire starter roll (the best one that tastes the most like clean fish sushi)Dragon roll (way to sweet)Crunchy roll (way to sweet)Salmon king roll (2nd best of the list)Spider roll (extremely bland unfortunately)Mizo soup was also very tasty.Over all it was still a delicious lunch, just a little to sweet for my preference.“
“The spot reminds me of the old-school Japanese war in the wall places. It's small and intimate and you can tell there's history here. They're not trying to be flashier over the top. The fish is good. The quality is great and I think you're getting really great value with your ordering sushi, sashimi, or food from the kitchen. I've come here many times over the years and I'm always pleased with what I order.“
“A true five star place. Had the spicy miso ramen, so much flavor and such high quality for 20 bucks in an age when jack in the box costs 16, will definitely be back!Wheelchair accessibility: All one room with no steps and there is a bar where wheelchairs could be placed allowing you to sit alongside friends“
