37 Best Sushi Bars near University Place

“We had so much fun! It was our first time there! It was so good and the waiters and waitresses are super friendly! The food was so good! Thank you for a great birthday 🥳“

“I have been coming here for years and the food is awesome!“

“Great food! We tried the Godzilla Roll (it was so huge), Spicy Chicken Karaage, and Eel Nigiri and everything was super fresh and delicious. Portions were huge and we were able to take some home for leftovers.“

“We had dinner at Nari last night with my three kids (ages 5-10) and my husband and my self. My son ate EVERYTHING and said it was the best dinner he’s had. He ordered the kids California sushi order. Each kids order comes with more than expected. They get the entree, side of rice, miso soup, yogurt, fruit snacks and a juice (and of course a fortune cookie at the end). I ordered the Korean Dumpling Soup. The broth was delicious, as well as the dumplings and vegetables in the soup. We were all extremely happy with our orders and also appreciated the very kind and attentive service! This will definitely be a place we will return as a family regularly.“

“We came in one night on a whim because we had errands nearby. The space is clean and chill, and the staff were super pleasant and welcoming without being overbearing. The food though, oh my god. 11/10, so good. We got it to go since it was only half an hour until closing time, and even with the travel time it was some of the most delicious ramen, sushi, and fried rice we’ve ever had. We had gotten enough to have leftovers the next day but it was so good that we finished all of it. Absolutely will be back.“

“I can’t believe I’ve never stopped here before, this place serves some of the best sushi I’ve had in a while. Meals are a very reasonable price, most being around $15 or less. The two servers we had were very sweet, me and my friends will definitely be coming back.“

“First time coming here last Friday. Came here with my cousin, we ordered the karaage chicken, tempura, sashimi rolls & spicy tuna roll. iIt was pretty good, I can tell everything was freshly made. I'd definitely come back“

“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.“

“Food were delicious, beautifully prepared and service is over beyond!!! 100%“

“Our favorite place now! My order: Unagi (nigiri), Vegetable Tempura, Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special. Dad's oder: Teriyaki Chicken Lunch Special and 5 order of maguro to go. The unagi was the best i have had in over 10 years. The tempura was light, crunchy and flavorful. My Dad is very particular about food and I am known to order the same item over and over. I have been trying different things and pleased with each one here. Everything was as good as it could possibly be. So happy!“

“The food is so delicious!!!“

“I've been to many sushi places in the Tacoma/Seattle area and Fujiya certainly stands out as one the best. I can really only speak to the nigiri, but it is always fresh, melt in your mouth tender and generous slices of fish. So good! I want to go back just talking about it!“

“Kura is always a fun experience! The revolving sushi makes trying different rolls and small plates easy, and everything we had was fresh and tasty. The touchscreen ordering system is simple to use, and the service was quick and friendly.

The best part is the interactive experience. Watching the plates go by, trying new things, and earning prizes by returning your plates makes dinner a little more fun than your average sushi spot.

The atmosphere can get a little busy and loud, especially during peak hours, but that’s part of the energy of the place. If you’re looking for good sushi at a reasonable price and a fun dining experience, Kura is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back!“

“Last night was our first dining experience at Domo Sushi, and we definitely plan to return! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful night out.“

“We had Destiny as our server and she was the best I’ve had in a very long time. She was accommodating, friendly, personable.. honestly the best server that I’ve had maybe ever. She made me so excited to come back. we were blown away with her service.“

“The best sushi 🍣 I’ve ever eaten“

“Beef teriyaki, sushi, and calamari are amazing!“

“Great service from staff and food always is delicious. Big, generous portions too!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite. We had the vegetable tempora as a starter. Husband had the Phoenix and I had a order of California rolls. Excellent food“

“I’ve been here several times for both dine-in and takeout, and it’s always been a great experience. The service is consistently friendly, and the food is amazing. The rolls are flavorful with plenty of great options to choose from. The chef’s choice nigiri always includes excellent selections, and the teriyaki dishes are delicious as well. Highly recommend!“

“Recently moved back home after 10 years living on the east coast. This was, hands down, the BEST sushi I have had since leaving Washington. The food is so fresh! I’m normally a tuna person but the Salmon Ladder was UNBELIEVABLY TASTY. Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top! Miso soup was perfect, and the spicy rainbow was so yummy! Even ordering this for delivery was perfect.“

“Your restaurant has some of Asia's best cuisine! Your atmosphere there is outstanding as it feels like a restaurant from Korea and Japan! I highly recommend this restaurant to everybody who likes Asian cuisine!“

“This place is absolutely gorgeous!!! 10/10 would recommend. Everything is so fresh, I highly recommend getting their sashmi, itis so incredibly delicious. The service is also phenomenal! Everyone is so sweet and makes you feel you welcomed ☆“

“Went here when I was in town for a comedy show. Wasn't really impressed with the amount of food for the cost. We got a teriyaki plate and Gyoza. You get one scope of rice and a bunch of teriyaki strips and a big pile of cabbage. For me I am not a cabbage fan. If it was the normal salad that would have been good, but it was steamed cabbage. The chicken was good, but the ratio of rice and chicken was a letdown. The Gyozas we got were crunchy and seemed over cooked or like they were cooked from being over frozen. They didn't taste very fresh. Overall, the chicken was good, but my rating is based on the price vs what you get.“

“What can I say, I love this place!! I recommend the sushi made with tempura shrimp & the deep-fried, crispy gyoza. I odered the bulgogi that came with rice & salad... delicious! So much gogi, I needed to take it to go.

As someone who cares about the atmosphere & dining experience at restaurants, I would say that this place is extremely underrated. I give it 5/5. Don't let the outside location fool you. Dining in is a good idea if you're looking for a place to relax (maybe it's just me, but I feel like I'm at a spa when I'm here). I wish I knew about this place sooner. It would make for a good place to wait for traffic to clear up -- and maybe read a book or something, hehe.

If you're looking for a cozy place for a small family birthday lunch or dinner, this place is the type of place that can become a traditional spot. In fact, when I went, a family of seven held their son's birthday here.

FYI, there is parking & entrances on both sides of the building.“

“Your restaurant has some of Asia's best cuisine! Your atmosphere there is outstanding as it feels like a restaurant from Korea and Japan! I highly recommend this restaurant to everybody who likes Asian cuisine!“

“As someone from Hawaii who’s accustomed to Michelin-rated Japanese cuisine, I have high standards when it comes to sushi—and Sake Sushi & Grill absolutely delivered! I ordered the Chirashi (Sashimi Salad), and my husband had the Sushi Bento. Both dishes were outstanding. The sushi rice was a standout—perfectly cooked and seasoned, which is rare to find even at well-known spots. The selection of sashimi was exceptionally fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. You could taste the care and quality in every bite. My husband couldn’t stop raving about his Sushi Bento dinner, and we both agreed: Sake Sushi & Grill has officially become our new favorite. If I could give it a Michelin rating, I would—hands down. We can’t wait to return!“

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.“

“Ordered the Chicken Teriyaki comes with rice & lettuce salad. The Beef Yakisoba was delicious comes with (1) scoop of rice. Overall the cost is affordable compared to other places. The service was friendly & fast too. I will definitely go back.“

“The Zen has the best food and great workers! We will be back soon❤️“

“Fresh & great portions. Something for everyone which was a must when ordering because of my kids (ramen was a hit). Will definitely do takeout from here again.“

“Loved the food! On our first trip, we had one of the suchi options, Chulichi shrimp, the ceviche trio, and mango margaritas. All of them were excellent, subtly spiced, and simply delicious. Yes, the music was a bit loud but it was manageable and did not prevent discussion at the table. Our waitress Clarita and bus-person David provided excellent recommendations and great service. We will definitely go back and bring more friends this time!“

“Located in the entrance to Dupont. The Good_ Really good terioki and yakisobi. Other yakisobi places only give you like 3,4 or possibly 5 pieces of shrimp in your meal. I was pleasantly surprised to find i had at LEAST 10. a plus!
The negative. _Quite expensive! We got 1 dish of Terioki, 1 dish of Yakisobi plus 2 orders (4) egg rolls, NO drinks, NO other extras and our bill was nearly $50. Yes_it was delicious but I question the price tag.“

“This was so good that I forgot to take pictures before starting to eat. It's unfortunate this is a place we'll end up hitting when we're in town, as opposed to being local to us.

If you happen to be staying in one of the hotels that's a walking distance from here, I would absolutely recommend you go in and grab something. You will probably be able to get two or maybe even three meals out of each order, so it would be great to take back with you.“

“Okay Teryaki, but too much sauce on my teriyaki,sauce is a bit too strong and way too sweet,and salad sauce container on top of the food ,kinda unsanitary :/ , this place use to be better, so I may come back next year to see if any improvement.“
