This is a quaint hole in the wall tucked on Stewart Street near Pike Market. The restaurants and staff are friendly and patiently explains the menu and fish of the day for Omakase. The Chirashi bowl has large slices of fish and has fish of the day as well. Good deal for the price.

Fresh, delicious, large cuts in this (take out) chirashi. Miso soup was on point. Highly recommend. How is this place 3.9?!? Go check it out!

Food was delicious. It is a small place but that made it cozy, comfortable and delightful. Overall 10/10 would recommend, a must visit.

Grabbed lunch here with a friend. The couple running it were very kind and friendly and attentive throughout our meal. My friend got the chirashi and liked it and I had some sushi that was pretty good. I tried the spider roll and veggie maki rolls. The vegetarian options were more than I expected but seemed different from what I found online. We both had miso, which was good too. I had some hot tea, which didn't seem like the powder was very well mixed in because I got several clumps on the bottom. Aside from the tea though I'd order the same items again. It's a little shop right by the market with limited seating (sushi bar maybe 6-8 seats and 4 small tables) so it feels quaint and intimate.

Disappointed! We recently dined there and the sushi chef recommended sea urchin sushi, claiming it was very fresh. When the sea urchin sushi was served, we noticed it had a much darker color than what we had previously eaten, resembling a deep mustard color. We initially attributed this to the winter season, trusting the chef's assurance of freshness. However, upon tasting it, we detected a strong fishy odor, raising doubts about its freshness. When we questioned the chef, he insisted that was how sea urchin tasted. Despite our concerns, we paid for our meal and left a tip, only to later experience vomiting at home. This was an unpleasant dining experience. Businesses should refrain from selling stale sashimi to customers and instead be honest about the quality of their products.

To me, the food in Urara was just average. There weren't any memorable pieces of sushi in the chirashi dish. The presentation was beautiful, but the flavor was mostly bland. Same can be said about California roll.The udon was nice, I liked the broth, and I'd recommend it; but since this was the only dish that I liked, I probably won't be back.

Urara is a cute Japanese restaurant located within walking distance of Pike's Place. It has minimal space with seating in front of the sushi chef, at the bar, and 4 small tables (for 2) against the window/wall. It seemed to be only two people working there, the chef and a lady who was serving. Both did not interact as much with us but they were kind when entering and leaving. As far as the menu, they have a small menu so there aren't many choices but that allows them to focus more on the quality of their food. My husband ordered a shrimp tempura roll, I ordered a spicy tuna roll, and we shared an order of gyoza. The gyoza had a nice flavor and a light crispness to it. The sauce was also good that we had to double dip, sorry. Everything was sooooo fresh and delicious. It was the freshest sushi I've ever had, so of course we finished it. You pay for the freshness, so it might be pricey for some but it's good for a quick bite.
The boss is a very kind Cantonese. The eel rice is delicious. It is close to the harbor. The sashimi is fresh and delicious. It is highly recommended! !

Urara had some of the freshest sushi we've ever had. It was delicious. The spicy tuna was not spicy, but tbh everything tasted so good i didn't care. The miso was made perfectly. We also had King Salmon nigiri and it was 10/10. Its a very small place, so i feel like everyone can hear your conversation. We will be back very soon??
