To the lady (according to a fella, she's the owner) who got rude at me .
I am the delivery man who you brutally attacked today.
I walked into your restaurant to pick up an Uber Eats order. It was a simple task . I do this every with professionalism and respect. I arrived just as three dine-in customers walked in. You smiled at them, welcomed them, seated them. That’s fine. That’s your job.
But you saw me standing there. You didn’t greet me. You didn’t acknowledge me. You didn’t say, “Please wait” or “Give me a moment.” You just ignored me ( fully and deliberately ) like I didn’t exist. Five full minutes passed. Nothing. No eye contact. No words.
Seven minutes in, I politely approached you and showed you the order on my phone. That’s when you snapped .. with a furious face and a sharp, demeaning tone: “I know. You should wait.” I have no idea why were you angry at me?
And now , let me tell you something: the attitude you showed me was unprofessional, uncivilized, and flat-out un-American(If you proud yourself as an American)
And frankly, the only kind of people I can’t stand(and hate to meet) are the ones who treat others with rudeness and arrogance for no reason. People who carry bitterness and project it onto strangers doing their jobs.
I challenge you to reflect on whatever dogma, bias, or past negative experience has programmed you to generalize people, to mistreat someone you’ve never met simply because of the category you put them in. Delivery drivers are not beneath you. I am not beneath you. I was not there for you — I was there on behalf of your customer. The one who paid you, who expects their food, who values service. I was part of that chain of service.
If you truly respect your own customers, then respect the people who help you serve them. Raise your standards, having restautrant is no longer about food, but rather, it's about creating a system of values and experiences.
This wasn’t about being busy. It was about attitude. If you had any sign, any word, any simple instruction like “please wait outside,” I would’ve followed it without a second thought. But you didn’t say a word. You just made a judgment — and treated me like I didn’t deserve dignity. And my response is NO!
So here’s my challenge to you: Unlearn your bias. Upgrade your mindset. Start acting like human beings. Be professional. Be race-agnostic. Be status-agnostic. You don’t know who’s standing in front of you — and you don’t get to decide who deserves respect.
This wasn’t about a bad day. This was about character. And it showed.

The seafood was really good. I ordered an Omakase, but it ended up with a single sashimi combo, without anything else. That can’t be called as an Omakase at all, and they told me it’s just the way ‘American Omakase’ is. I think it would be better if they had explained it on the menu, or before making the order, especially for those who know what Omakase is.

Fantastically fresh, reasonable prices for pike place market. Agedashi tofu is perfect. Green tea, spider roll, Nagasaki noodles, and edamame were all excellent. Small spot, limited seating, plan to wait for seating and service. But great attention once it's there. Would eat here again.

I got the tempura udon for takeout. At first I was upset because the price online is really dated and the new price of $21 seems steep. The dashi is good, the fish cake is thinly cut and the tempura is crispy. I also ordered edamame and it was very plain. I believe it was $8. Overall decent food for higher prices which make sense given the location.

Just the right size so it’s chill inside and your meal is made in a timely manner. Sit at the bar to observe the chef. Totally chill vibe.

Authentic and chill environment. Great prices.
I’ve lived in PNW my whole life. I married a Japanese woman who has taken me to Japan. These are the qualifications I present to authenticate the following statement: The Spider Rolls here are the best in Washington state. I love this place and will be coming back regularly.

The food was fantastic. Sushi rice was exquisite and fish was so fresh. Small dining area but cozy, and you're able to watch the sushi being prepared. Miso soup was perfectly balanced. I will eat here every time I visit Seattle.
Good taste and service. Fresh fish and very good ingredients are used on the food.

Skip all the expensive sushi restaurants in Seattle, and run here immediately. The sushi here was so fresh, it was amazing, and reasonably priced.
We had the order of mixed sashimi pieces which came with Salmon belly, tuna, yellowtail, and some other fish (I can't remember!). It was the best sushi I've ever had in my life.
The place is small, and we barely found it, because it's just a simple door with no fancy sign. We sat at the sushi bar, and the chef was nice. If you are looking for experience, this is not the place, because service was sub par, but I didn't notice. I wasn't looking for anything special. But, I was so impressed with the sushi, that I didn't care about anything else!
