“The food and service is absolutely amazing here. Always fresh and delicious. I’ve never eaten in before, but today I decided to sit in, and they brought it to me on a sizzling plate. Floored me, and I’ll be coming back time and time again. The quiet atmosphere and tucked away nature makes it a great quiet spot for a meal.“
“All I have to say is the Salmon Tornado is amazing! And so is everything I have tried, the Pork Raman the broth almost had a creamy texture with big slices of pork and it was very filling, I ordered the Tofu salad and it had tons of avocado and a delicious dressing, Met the owner and he definitely has the pride of ownership, One thing to note this place is very small but worth the wait.“
“We ate at Katana for my husband’s birthday dinner. It was a busy weeknight. We were greeted by a lovely hostess who immediately made us feel welcome. Our server, Kingsley, was absolutely phenomenal- definitely one of the top servers we have ever encountered anywhere! She was tending to multiple tables, bar customers, and also making drinks. She was easily one of the busiest employees there, yet she kept a big smile on her face and a kind, positive spirit throughout our entire service. The sushi was delicious, as always. Katana is consistently reliable to serve good food, but this time we had especially amazing service as well. I highly recommend katana for a family celebrating a special occasion!“
“The workers greeted us very warmly & they were all working hard & skillfully like a well oiled machine...you could tell the servers & sushi chefs were well seasoned. It was a very warm day and we were seated by the front windows, which even with the thick curtains, was still acting like a radiant heated wall! Not a big deal for me as I run cold, but if you are a hot person...this might have bothered you. I was actually wearing a tank top so I was perfect...it was double date night. The fish on sushi & sashimi platters was buttery & fresh. Lots of roll varieties too just how I like it. We started with some appetizers, nice sized shareable portions of tempura calamari & chicken karage. We also ordered agedashi tofu & veggie & shrimp temp, perfect portion sizes for a party of 4 for appetizers. No one ordered any entrees or bentos...although they look really good, we stuck to sushi. They give you a sushi list and a pen and you mark down what you want yourself...I like that too, more control on server making mistakes! I love trying ikura(salmon roe) at different restaurants to see if the chefs marinate the delicate eggs or not. I was pleasantly surprised to find this order of ikura marinated. It was slightly sweet with a hint of sake and not too salty as some restaurants will make it. This order was rich & creamy with the addition of quail egg. We ordered a small sashimi combo with salmon, yellowtail, toro & another white fish...I don't know if it was bonito or what, they didn't go over the items when they dropped the dish...but it was the one in the front on the left. They have an extensive roll list which has a ton of California based rolls topped with numerous options. All really good, but California roll base is kind of boring...maybe they could switch up the centers a little. We got Las Vegas roll...completely deep fried, yummy if you like that type of roll, Polar Bear roll, Cali roll topped with white tuna & seared salmon...YUM, a lemon salmon roll, Cali roll topped with salmon & lemon segments...they go so well together!!!! We also had a Firecracker roll which is a spicy tuna roll topped with more spicy tuna & fried minced garlic...really good with a little extra heat, maybe some jalapeños minced up in there but so tasty. We also ordered a White Christmas roll which is a shrimp tempura roll topped with white tuna, Avacado & a wasabi cream sauce...super tasty. Can't have sushi without a Spider roll & I always have an ume shiso roll...this one had lots of julienned cucumbers in it & a negihama roll to appease my clean, raw fish craving. Excellent sushi & the wait for our food was good. We had reservations & I definitely recommend taking the time to make one if you want guaranteed seating, I saw a lot of walk ins turned away or told they'd have an ample wait. If you're up north, I'd highly recommend Sushi Zen.“
“I believe 9 rolls fill up a boat if that is what you are looking for. I wouldn't say this is the best quality sushi, but some were better than others. the rice quality isn't that good or something, some rolls were kind of hard and wondered if there was any rice at all, but pretty good still. don't even know what I got as I came with 3 other people and we each ordered 2 rolls each. everyone was a able to try a little of each other's order and we were full after that.it did take a while to get our order but that's 72 pieces they had to make.“
“Note: We attempted to talk with the managers/staff before posting this, but we were told the fish was supposed to be this way. I didn’t think to take photos because we assumed after talking with the staff the issue would be fixed so we brought them the leftovers. We have been eating sushi for several decades and have never had fish that smelled and or looked like this. Normally we eat here in restaurant, but this last week we ordered and picked up. The tuna handrolls looked like it had been in a meat grinder and tasted bitter. The sashimi special we normally order had all kinds of connective tissue and fat clumps we had to try to tear off the meat because we could not chew through it. Instead of being soft the hamachi (yellowtail tuna) was hard chewy. I eventually spit it out in to my napkin. We gave up when it came to the salmon portion because it didn’t smell right.“
“Celebrating my birthday at 16Eleven was a delightful new experience for me. The cuisine and service were exceptional and genuinely stood out. We prefer to dine on shared plates to sample a wider array of flavors, and the Steak Tartare Crostini was our starting choice. Crafted from top-notch ingredients, it was truly palatable. After that, we indulged in two servings of the Seared Ahi Tuna, which presented a refreshing twist from the usual and did not fail to satisfy with its generous portion.Our culinary adventure continued with a unique request: we asked the chef to surprise us with an appetizer featuring Foie Gras from their menu. The result was nothing short of remarkable, combining fresh mushrooms, black trumpet varieties, a sublime Foie Gras oil and crostini, if memory serves me correctly. Our final plate was the Cauliflower Tempura, which boasted a sharp spiciness that I enjoyed, though it proved a bit too bold for my spouse.The evening was topped off with an unexpected act of kindness from 16Eleven, as they presented us with a complimentary Sticky Toffee pudding that was absolutely divine. Overall, my birthday dinner at this remarkable establishment in the heart of downtown Everett was nothing short of splendid. I see a promising return visit in the future.“
“You owe it to yourself to try this sushi restaurant. The quality is the best I have had in Seattle, and it is the farthest thing you can get from the conveyor belt sushi restaurant. If you want a traditional, homey, sushi atmosphere this is it. Miso soup is the best I have had in the area, and the garlic edamame is also great. The entire staff was so warm and welcoming. Great sushi, great value, great restaurant.“
“Recently moved to the area and I'll admit I started coming here first off because of its vicinity to me but wow I have become a loyal customer for a lot more then that! Always speedy, very fair portion sizes, delicious food! I mean look at that poke bowl! It's beautiful and it is BIG, very proportionate (nothing worse then wanting POKE and it's all sides with a piece of sashimi sized tuna) not the case here! Tons of rice and lettuce underneath as well, she's a hefty gal trust me. Looking forward to my next bowl and trying a new entree!“
“We moved to Everett about a year and a half ago. We've been looking, I'm betting this is now going to be our sushi restaurant. The food was delicious and you should give the innocent a try. It was wonderful and very refreshing. Thank you!“
“This is a great spot for lunch or dinner! The older couple owning this place are the sweetest and the food is fantastic. This is a true mom and pop establishment and every time I eat here it tastes like a homemade meal. The the spicy teriyaki is my favorite.“
“*UberEats Delivery Review*Packaging: 5/5 Everything was packed nice and secure, no spillage! Utensils were provided upon request. Preparation time didn't take too long either.Food: 5/5So good! Only snapped a photo of the Chicken Breast Teriyaki. A great alternative if you are trying to watch your calorie intake somewhat and want something more high protein. Was slightly dry but they did a good job considering it's chicken breast.Spicy chicken was also good. Our favorite though, was the chicken katsu. It was so juicy, and the portions were huge. I think they use dark meat for the katsu, which I prefer because white meat is just way too try. I'll definitely order from here again!“
“I just got door dash from this restaurant. I was CRAVING tempura and they didn't disappoint. The tempura was still a bit crispy despite the transport to my home. It came with miso soup which I didn't know. I can't report on the look of the restaurant since I wasn't there. My food seemed to be made quickly based on the tracker on DoorDash. Give these people a try!“
“We had minimal time to grab food, but everyone wanted something healthier than traditional fast food so we stopped here. Two of us for poke bowls, one of us got a giant sushi burrito, and one got fried dumplings.All the bowl and burrito ingredients were fresh and delicious. You get to customize based on whatever your tastes are so everybody got exactly what they wanted... and we all left feeling full and happy.The portions were big enough that two people could share, especially the bowls.“
“We came in 10 minutes before closing time and were able to be seated and served delicious food. The kind chef had made 2 more rolls for us even tho they were closed. We are really thankful for really great service and really really good food.“
“Service is always good here. Everyone is always friendly. We get seated quickly and we don't have to wait too long for food. Plenty of seating inside. They have a pretty standard menu for a sushi restaurant. Prices are pretty standard too. Food is good. I like their specialty rolls.“
“I am blown away by the sushi at this restaurant! Every piece is a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The fish is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth, while the rice is perfectly seasoned and holds everything together flawlessly. From classic rolls to creative specials, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere is inviting, and the service is top-notch, making each dining experience memorable. If you're a sushi lover like me, you won't be disappointed!“
“We ALWAYS get take out from here of chicken katsu - not only is it delicious, it's a great value for the amount of food! We tried going somewhere else on a day they were closed and it was disappointing all around. Will not go anywhere else for chicken katsu!“
“Delicious food. I was impressed by how big this place is. The menu is also huge. This felt like Mazatlan and Oaxaca partnered because of the seafood selection (that I'm planning on trying next time) and the Oaxacan traditional food. Tlayuda was very good, molotes were good, but it's hard to even find molotes in WA in the first place.Service was spot on. The lady who helped me was so sweet.The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the loud (laoouuuud) music. It was 11 a.m., and it felt like a bar environment and, well, not my vibe. Other than that, I love to find authentic places to eat ? give it a try!Parking: Free in front of the business“
“I know nothing about sushi, I can't stand fish. This place has the best spicy chicken teriyaki I've found. Rich sauce, nothing at all like kikkoman, spicy with red and jalapeño peppers, and moist tender chicken. Comes with rice, soup and small salad. Everything is very good. Great service every time I've been here.“
