Umami Kushi Reviews
Tiny little unique place. I had my BBQ pork bun an hour after picking it up and it was delicious. I highly recommend this place for an easy picnic on the beach.
Just amazing food, service, and location. Always something new to try, and it's always amazing. Not only are the buns terrific on their own but this guy is the king of sauces with each one paired to a different bun flavor. I can't get enough of this place and the authenticity of every person I talk to behind the counter. One of my favorite spots in Seattle by far.
Great food & good people. Unique spot.
