The sushi rolls are super fresh. I loved the spicy tuna rolls, and the rice was cooked perfect!

Sushi is too expensive, so I have had to cut way back since I retired. But, once in a while I like to splurge. I fired up Google Maps and asked where I could get sushi near me. The list came up and I tried to balance good reviews with driving distance. The result of my "research" was Kiriba Sushi and Grill on 145th. I've driven past many times, thinking, "How can a place that looks like that be worth it?" At 4.5 stars on Google, I decided to give it a try. There is a small parking area next to the little building that could be mistaken for a house. Several signs on the building assured me that I was in the right place. There was also street parking, but I was able to get the last spot in the parking area. Inside there was a standard sushi bar and a few tables. There was not much for decoration and the paint was looking old. There were a few customers, but not enough to explain the full parking lot. A jolly Japanese/American invited me to take a seat wherever I liked. There were menus on the table, so by the time the host came over I had picked out what I wanted. Tea, miso soup and a variety platter of sushi. Turns out the tea and miso were included with the sushi. Cool. The tea showed up right away, quickly followed by the miso soup. The soup was pretty basic. I added a touch of soy sauce for a bit of flavor that made it OK. The sushi platter came out and lifted my spirits. There was salmon, tuna, mackerel, a couple that I could not identify and the great prize - white albacore. I saved that delightful tidbit for last. The sushi was well made and presented. I enjoy food that looks good and this platter pleased me. I popped the salmon in my mouth and I was even more pleased. The fish was fresh and flavorful. I have been known to put away a lot of sushi. There was an all-you-can-eat place downtown that I think I personally put out of business by filling myself with the good stuff. While it was not those kinds of quantities, the platter was actually plenty of food. I gobbled it up and braced myself for the check. To my surprise, the whole meal was around $18. Fantastic! Stop by sometime and say hi, I'll be at the table by the front window as often as I can.

Mediocre food for a high price. Sometimes it doesn’t taste fresh.

A great little place for amazing sushi! I always try and get lunch here at least weekly. If you're a huge sushi fan like I am, then you've got to try this place. It's perfect for lunch by yourself or a date night. It's pretty quiet and the staff is amazing. I got the poke roll shown in picture. Next time I will send another picture and a review about another roll. But I highly recommend this place. Very good eat!!!

An affordable sushi place in Seattle? With top notch Sushi and solid non-sushi selections? In a very charming environment?
Absolutely recommend them and easily one of my go-tos, especially right off the 333 line from the shoreline south station.

My coworkers and I have come to this location on several occasions, twice we have been mistreated . From being accused of being angry to not being able to pay separately, lying stating they are busy when there is only 4 other people in the establishment ...... They are rude cand rules are inconsistent .... We have always been polite and generous with our tips ..... The fact that the world rather lose money than accomodated their customers is assisine to me .... I will NEVER COME BACK AGAIN !!! AND DON'T DELETE THIS REVIEW LIKE YOU DID THE LAST ONE !!!

I been coming this place for 2 years now and also with my coworkers. We were very disappointed how they been treating us about serving us as group. They excused was we have to pay together we can’t pay individually which they didn’t have good answers for. Also to our one of our coworkers when he ask why we have to individually the server ask him “why are you angry” which he weren’t. I will never go back to this place again. I would never have then to treat me this why it’s very unprofessional and rude.

Really liked this spot. Food was actually pretty good. Decent slices of fish and the sushi rice was warm—which is good. Beer glass was cold and frosty—also really good. Very friendly staff and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Atmosphere was relaxing, quiet. You can have an actual conversation with your dinner partner here. I recommend.
Parking: There’s a few spaces on the side street which are off-street but parking in the neighborhood shouldn’t be difficult.
There were bones in every roll we ordered, would never recommend and is a severe safety issue.

We've been coming here for years because the sushi quality is great and the service is always wonderful. Friday nights get VERY busy even if you go right at opening. Surprisingly they are less busy on Saturdays, which works well for us.
I also appreciate that the menu isn't too extensive, just what we would expect from an authentic Japanese restaurant. AIso, for Seattle, the sushi prices are very reasonable. I do wish they had tea service instead of water, but that's not a big deal.
Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly. They have high chairs.

It's a tiny neighborhood place and service was great, very welcoming. The place is busy. We got there around 5:30 on Thursday and by 6pm, all tables were busy and there was a line of people waiting. Food was ok. We had a spider roll, and a tuna roll, and some other roll. The fish was fresh, but the rice wasn't tasty, and that ruined the roll. It was old and very chewy, couldn't even bite through the roll. I would definitely come back, the price was good.
