I came here three times and always spent more than $200 for two people. I usually get a lot of a la carte sushi but this time I tried ordering rolls as well. And was shocked by the size of the spider roll which was $20 including tax. I mean I did ask for no cucumber but there is barely anything in it. I had to double check with the server if it is the right one and they said its expensive because they put one whole crab leg. I mean so as the other sushi places? Aside from that I understand it was a busy time and people were waiting outside, but you cant bring the bill up to the customers when they are still working on their food. I waited over 30min for my food and was given less than 15 min before they brought up the bill. I do want to support local stores and stuff but no this is not the place. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

I ordered beef sukiyaki. Had high expectations especially for $40. Was a very huge let down. Lots of onions and very small portion of beef. Beef was not tender and dry, I think overcooked. In total paid $130+ for 2 people (tax and tip included). Overpriced for the quality of food.

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.

Owner was extremely rude, even yelled at her staff in front of us. I will never go back here! Food is ok but very expensive and to be treated so horribly why would I give them my money. Oh and tip is included so you end up tipping for owners horrible service. I feel so bad for her employees why does anyone eat or work there, disgusting to mistreat people who are trying to do their job.

My friends and I kept it simple with a regular sushi assortment for each person. It was a heck of a lot of food per person. We were able to pick the type of fish used in the roll, which was nice. The nigiri cuts were crazy thick. You definitely get your money worth. I just wished they would have walked us through what each cut was. Great experience, great food. I will definitely be back.

Get there early! Place is rock'n, food is stellar fresh and delish, a little rushed, forgivable rushed and imperfect but super tasty. Perhaps a bit much on the pricy side but worth a celebratory experience!
This spot has that cozy Japanese home-style vibe, perfect for catching up with a small crew (four max, I'd say). We ordered three classic Japanese dishes to go with our drinks.Sashimi: The platter was a feast for the eyes and the taste great! Fresh and generous portions – definitely a winner.Chicken Katsu: The chicken was really tough and not juicy. Same goes for cabbage slaw - not sweet and crunchy.Beef Sukiyaki: This pot was all veggies and noodles, with maybe four slices of beef on top. The onions weren't caramelized, so sukiyaki was basically a soy sauce favor without natural sweetness of the onions. We also ordered three bowls of rice – not the moisture and tenderness we were hoping for.Skip the table nearby the exit. I think sitting at the bar would be great, just front-row seats to enjoy chef's energetic and friendly vibes, and maybe stick with seafood and appetizers next time.

My recent dining experience at a restaurant was quite disappointing. The service was slow, the staff seemed indifferent, and the food quality fell short of expectations. Overall, it was not a pleasant visit, and I wouldn't recommend this place to others.

Food:Good deal for sashimi; huge slices. Fresh but not amazing. Taste-wise, rolls are better. Get the rolls.Service:Owner lady is a bit intense and intimidating in her effort to attend to tables in the small and bustling place, but other waiters are nice.Atmosphere:Cozy and bustling. Haven’t seen such a busy little shop like NYC here in Seattle before.

Great sushi, best to be there at least 10 minutes or so before it opens, there's always a huge line.The sushi is some of the best I have had in the area. Also the location is very cozy feeling, and service is very good.

The sushi was good but everything else we ordered was forgettable. The no credit card policy is a pain and we were unhappy with the service. The bill is not itemized so we were confused if the tip was already included or not. Overall if you are purely looking for a sushi fix this place is good, but there were enough things that were frustrating as part of the whole dining experience.
