My fiance and I have been coming here every couple months for a few years and it is fantastic every time. It’s our favorite restaurant in Seattle. I look forward to coming here every time, and it never disappoints. I only wish I lived next doors so I can come more frequently. The salmon nigiris here are the best I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of nigiris across Korea / Japan / US. The rice is perfectly made and fish is fresh & always at the right temperature. The rolls also always have the perfect rice to fish ratio. The atmosphere is super cozy and fun - the walls are full of interesting arts and music related decors. The music in the background is also always great taste. The sushi chef seems like such a sweet person.

The food was absolutely fantastic! Fatty tuna was amazing.

We've been eating here for years and it is consistently very high quality sushi and sashimi, truly in the top 3 of the city. Additionally, the side dishes are terrific - the tempura is crisp, light, and never greasy, the scallop appetizer is a bit of heaven - make sure to order rice with it to pair with the leftover sauce, and the agedashi tofu, which is my standard by which I test new places, is the best! All of this at remarkably reasonable prices.
Village Sushi is in a modest spot on the north end of University Way. Joe always has jazz playing, the lights a bit dimmed and you are surrounded by paintings he has done offering an interesting peak into his life away from the restaurant. A bit different from your typical Japanese restaurant, but it doesn't change how good the food is!

I LOVE this place! The food is incredible, the vibes are cozy, and the staff incredibly kind! The owner made my sushi rolls and he's just the sweetest. Second time coming here and will most certainly be back!

The food here is absolutely phenomenal. I came here on a random evening with my girlfriend looking for a sushi place on the ave and I was deeply impressed. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Their salmon teriyaki is quite frankly the best salmon I’ve had in my life. I now go here at least once a week. A bit expensive, but that’s to be expected at a sushi restaurant. The chef is incredibly kind and talented as well.

It is September 2025 and I just ate the best tonkatsu I've ever had in my life.

The rainbow roll and California roll were really good too!! Looking forward to having sashimi next time~

Every neighborhood deserves a fabulous sushi bar like Village Sushi, but few get one. Wonderful, attentive service, a chill setting with vinyl jazz playing on the hifi, and astoundingly fresh and lovingly prepared sushi, all at a reasonable price. The toro, salmon and tamago were excellent, washed down with a generous glass of Kikkoman plumb wine. A+!

Nice sushi place! Fresh and delicious sushi! The one thing that surprised me is that they don’t serve tea! Most sushi places serve you tea without even asking but they said they just don’t have it!
