“Small, basic, and clean sushi spot in Woodinville Wine country. Service was attentive on a weeknight and we walked in with no reservation. Food and drink served fairly quickly. There were some super creative rolls on the menu like a roll within a roll (the crazy roll) and even a roll that was battered and fried. Super worth going here, the fish was soft and melted in your mouth. We were sat at a table where one of us could watch TV images of Mediterranean vacation photos scroll by. The geography of the images was odd for a sushi spot, but the photographs were so enticing that we rolled with it! Will be back!“
“Very good omakase overall, but it wasn't the best that I've had. I would still absolutely recommend this place, but I think for the price point there could be a few more bites. I think the nigiri is where they shine. Rice was seasoned well and the fish was fresh and well prepared. The hot dishes and side dishes were what left a little to be desired. The service was amazing, chefs are great and the place is pretty neat!“
“I have been dying to come here and let me tell you the entire place does not disappoint!! The food was sooooooo tasty and look so good at the same time. The portion size is super generous. The inside of the this place is absolutely adorable. And the workers are super gentle. I had such a good time here. This is going to be on my " must come back " list“
“Good meal. Service was very good. I was hoping I could say “great”, but when compared to other experiences at places like Sawada, Kyubey, Yasuda, Nakazawa, etc, it’s just ok. Don’t get me wrong - we enjoyed ourselves but it was overpriced when compared to the greats.“
“Visiting my brother and he took me to his favorite casual sushi place. I can see why it’s his favorite!!!!! The service was outstanding and the servers were very attentive. It was a comforting place to be. The sushi was fresh and scrom-SHUS.“
“Another reels recommendation. Cash and Venmo onlyWe live in issaquah so this place is quite the trek. My partner was particularly drawn in by the oversized roll with a variety of fish.Maybe I picked the wrong menu items, but overall not sure what the hype is about. The oversized roll is 30$+ so it’s not like it’s cheaper on a per serving basis.The fish was also so cold to the point where it hurt my teeth to eat (I do have sensitive teeth, but I’ve never had trouble with sushi before). Having so many different fish in a roll meant I couldn’t actually taste the individual flavors very well. I’m also not a fan of raw green onions paired with sushi.The other rolls also weren’t anything special. We got a scallop nigiri which was good tho.Overall probably won’t be driving an hour to come here again.“
“Little loud. Great sushi for the price. Easy to seat 2 people quickly, small wait for a table if you have more people. Very friendly staff. Vegan and gluten free options. I visit every 2 weeks when I get my paycheck.Vegetarian options: Vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“Food was amazing. I had a sushi date with a couple friends and we came hungry, we ordered takoyaki, gyoza, 7 rolls, and some sake and it all was delicious.Service was really nice, place is clean, it is a bit small and seating is close together, it is what it is though.“
“We four had dinner and drinks; two among our party live nearby and are regulars. I really enjoyed the Bibimbap I ordered with beer!BEER/WINE: 4.0. Good selection of beers, and limited but decent wines. We were all satisfied with our choices of beers and wines.FOOD: 4.0.- Bibimbap: 4.5. A real standout and I will order again. I hadn't had Bibimbap this good since living in Hawaii and Guam. I chose to have with Tofu, though beef is also available. Especially good with a cold beer.- Sashimi: 3.5. The Japanese person in our group rated her DELUXE DINNER as quite good for previously-frozen fish, and says she would order it again. I ordered one tako sashimi and would rate it a 2.5; in future I won't order individual sashimi.SERVICE: 3.5. Enthusiastic and accurate.AMBIANCE: 4.0. Indoor and some outdoor seating. It became quite full by 6pm on the Friday we visited (with a full parking lot), but never got so noisy that we couldn't easily carry on a conversation.“
“Bamboo sushi is a staple for date nights and great place to enjoy both fresh sashimi snd prepared roles. We tell people to get the green machine and rainbow roles. The hoki poki box entree is amazing. The miso soup and the edamame are great starters. Last time we were in we tried the Chirashi bowl as well which was great. The service at the bar is really quick and although we haven’t indulged, I hear their cocktails are good as well.Vegetarian options: There are multiple tasty roles and other dishes served without meat or animal products.Dietary restrictions: They will ask at the beginning of the meal and they will accommodate as necessary.Parking: There are multiple free parking lots and parking garages in the area.Kid-friendliness: This is a kid friendly establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: University place and the surrounding restaurants are all wheelchair accessible.“
“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.“
“Almost hesitant to review this place as I want to keep it a secret, but there’s no doubt that this is one of the best sushi restaurants in the PNW. Had the chance to try their take out omakase and chirashi sets - both were amazing!! Can’t wait for my next chance to dine-in!“
“As far as sushi options at this price point go in Bellevue this is a great spot. I prefer this to japonessa or kobe around the same price point. High quality rolls - ordered spider, unagi, and spicy hamachi, all very good and well rolled. Would order all 3 again. It's not top tier sushi and isn't priced like it, I found a lot of value at the price point.“
“Wow. Just wow!!!! The Sashimi tastes so fresh, moist, and perfect. The Firecracker roll topped with spicy Tuna was amazing and well balanced. The atmosphere was quiet and serene when I went at 3:15 p.m which was perfect for me. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Lastly, the plating presentation was lovely <3Everything about this place is amazing! I absolutely love it! Hands down my new go-to spot for Sashimi and sushi!Parking: This is located at a strip mall close to a movie theatre so parking could get full depending on time of day.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to concrete leading to restaurant. Plenty of room inside to accommodate wheelchair accessibility“
“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.“
“High quality and tasty rolls! Had the Salmon Lemon, Shrip tempura, Spider rolls. Fresh ingredients and excellent portions. Also tried the spicy ramen which was delicious and very well presented in the bowl. Kids had the Katsu Don and gobbled it up. Servers were attentive and overall inviting. Will come again!“
“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.“
“Our experience at Jae's Asian Bistro and Sushi was elevated by the exceptional service provided by Kyle and Zack . From the moment we were seated, his warm welcome and genuine hospitality set the tone for the evening. Kyle displayed impressive menu knowledge, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring our dining experience was memorable. His attention to detail, seamless service, and friendly demeanor made our evening truly special. If you're dining at Jae's, I highly recommend requesting Kyle or Zack for an outstanding experience.“
“AA Sushi is a fantastic sushi place, it was my first time trying out this place, and I love the food. There is such a wide selection to choose from at AA Sushi. We placed a large order for take-out, and they had gotten everything right. The sushi is fresh, bright, and tastes fantastic. I also love the chicken katsu, the Miso soup, and one of my favorite rolls is the Caterpillar Roll; it has Eel, cucumber topped with avocado, and eel sauce! In addition, AA Sushi has terrific customer service.“
“A hidden gem - Nishino boasts excellent service and such kind chefs and owners! Definitely a little expensive compared to other sushi spots in the city but I can say I’ve never had fresher fish before. Omakase was a great deal as well. Great for a special occasion or date night.“
“After the first bite, we said “never again are we trying another place.” Consistently the best sushi of my life, we keep trying to find a place closer to where we live, but the hour drive for this art is worth it and makes anything else feel ridiculous In comparison. Mango Kiwi and Seahawks are our current favorites, but really it’s all amazing. Fish is incredibly consistently fresh, and it is so clear the sushi chef has put his life into this.“
“I love everything about this place! the owners, the food, the hospitality, the atmosphere! my partner and I stumbled upon this place a few years ago and now we go every chance we get! delicious sushi, amazing sauces, huge menu. love love love!“
“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!“
“Super fast - 10 minutes from sitting down to polishing off these delicious avocado and cucumber rolls! Absolutely divine, service was excellent. The German opera playing in the background was an unexpected surprise but I enjoyed it all the same. Will definitely be back.“
“The food was really good and you get large servings for leftovers and the customer service is excellent and the tables are always clean. I was a little cold, though, especially when people walk through the door. Everything else was amazing!“
“Quick and efficient service when ordering. I stopped over at QFC while I was waiting. I was putting my groceries in my car and the woman who was working behind the counter brought my order out to me. Above and beyond service and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness. Food was delicious with generous serving sizes.“
“Second time going to the restaurant because I was quite impressed on the first visit. On the second visit, we ordered sushi assortment. Everything tasted great except Uni; Uni tasted very bad and rotten with smell of toilet. I wish the chef checks on the freshness of the ingredients more carefully. Probably won't visit this place for a while.“
“Muto has a wide variety of Japanese food items, including sashimi, sushi, ramen, udon, curry, and even lunch specials.I got the lunch special #4 which comes with chicken katsu, 4 California rolls, and three pieces of nigiri. It also came with rice, salad with sesame dressing, and a little sweet egg omelette piece.My friend got the garlic ramen with pork and marinated soft egg. This is probably one of my favorite ramens on the menu. So yummy!We've been here twice, as it's a good spot to go to after spending some time at Olympus spa, just around the corner.“
“After many years of driving past this spot we decided to give it a shot. Great location, plenty of free parking, and decent food. We ordered two rolls I've never had before, 1) Golden Dragon and 2) Double Tuna Roll - both were delish. Our only complaint was the selection of music that was playing. Very very odd for an Asian restaurant.“
“Rolls, not bowls. Rolls, not bowls. Say it with me. The rolls are great -- fresh and cheap, with decent rice. The (teriyaki) bowls are not. [the chirashi bowl is pretty good too but that is 1/2 roll, 1/2 bowl]Specifically, our chicken teriyaki bowls had no flavor (or sauce). My in-laws (who generally like bland foods) said they would try it again after putting coconut aminos on it.The ~15% 'tax' is dubious, but the value is still good. Our order was ready for us promptly when we arrived. I would definitely order a party platter in the future for family dinners!“
“I can say last night in one word - magical! Magical interior, magical staff and service, magical food and cocktails, magical desserts! Thank you so much for the quality service! I've been to many restaurants in the world, but there are only a few such great restaurants!!!! By the way luxury steak is incredible!!!“
“*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!“
“We love going here to eat, it’s nice and fancy but not too pricey and has good sushi. We liked the Sweet Sensation, Mexican ninja, Seattle crunch and skin on skin (in that order). I think the value in a well made California roll is underestimated and oh did they make a mean spicy California roll. Edamame was good too. Not the biggest fan of the scorpion sting and Barcelona sunset.Note: happy hour EVERYDAY (even Saturday) after 9pm and some other midday time. Highly recommend Japonessa.“
“A true five star place. Had the spicy miso ramen, so much flavor and such high quality for 20 bucks in an age when jack in the box costs 16, will definitely be back!Wheelchair accessibility: All one room with no steps and there is a bar where wheelchairs could be placed allowing you to sit alongside friends“
“We had the Katsu Don and the Odun and spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The restaurant had a very sleek clean look. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend this fine dining experience.“
“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 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.“
“Haven't been in here for a while since we moved out of town but came back and really enjoyed that I could go out for some Japanese food. This is really spectacularService was absolutely stellar. I had lots and lots of questions and I think all of the weight staff stopped by to answer my questions for me and I ended up getting the pokeball and I am really delighted with it. They explained to me they've got several different kind of sesame bowls and I like the pokey bowl. It has a really nice sauce to it and there were just tons of food in here just and very delightfully presented. I did ask for the lettuce instead of rice and they said it would be an upcharge of $2 which I didn't want to go for. But that would have been a nice addition if they would have been that the atmosphere was a lively there all lots of tables were full. There's a sports bar football game on right now. Music playing in the background. The chefs are busy at the sushi bar. The tea is really great. I definitely know this is one of the places I like to go to. So sorry my husband doesn't want to eat Japanese anymore. This is a real treatWe live up in Mount Baker now and it's 100 mi trip to get down to Everett but I was down here today and thankful to come out of my way a little bit to be able to eat here.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility spots are at the end of the walkways so you have to walk past a couple of storefronts to get here. Not too far.“
“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 wanted to get some lunch and bento box sounded like a great idea. After searching around Bellevue and Redmond area, we decided to try here. Honestly, we were debating between Joy box and here, and tempura on this menu convinced us. We ordered two bento boxes: 1) spicy teriyaki chicken and tempura combo A; 2) spicy beef teriyaki and tempura combo A (vegetable and shrimp tempuras). The chicken was great, but the beef was not spicy at all. We loved the tempuras, so light, crispy and tasty! Highly recommend it. We came around 12:30pm on a Saturday and the place was not busy at all, only a couple of tables were occupied. We will order take out from here again for sure. Love their tempuras. Maybe next time, we will try their rolls.“
“I wish I could give more stars. I just finished lunch with a good friend who has frequented Hanami for decades. The service is exceptionally warm and inviting, and the sushi is unbelievably tasty and beautifully presented. If you dine here, tell them you know Joe!“
“My wife and I are big fans of I love bentos, a teriyaki restaurant in Kirkland. We go there at least twice a month, and we are always satisfied with the food and the service. The food is fresh, tasty, and generous. We usually order to go, and the food is always enough for two meals. My go to plate is the spicy chicken and spicy beef teriyaki plate, which comes with rice and a salad. The meat is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is just the right amount of spicy. The salad is my favorite part, because of the dressing they use. It is creamy and tangy, and goes well with the greens.When we eat in, I like to get the bento boxes, because they have sushi as well. The sushi is made with quality ingredients, and the fish is fresh and delicious. The bento boxes also come with tempura, gyoza, and miso soup. They are a great deal for the price and the variety.The owners of I love bentos are really nice and friendly, and they always greet us with a smile. They make us feel welcome and appreciated. They also run the restaurant efficiently and cleanly. We never have to wait long for our food, and the place is always spotless.Pro tip: take in your own bag to save some money when ordering take out. They charge a small fee for their paper bags, but they are happy to pack your food in your own bag if you bring one.I love bentos is one of our favorite places to eat in Kirkland. We highly recommend it to anyone who loves teriyaki or Japanese food. It is a hidden gem that you will not regret trying.“
“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“
“We’ve coming here since Big fish open. It is a hidden gem. Very fresh sushi & reasonable price! I love some of the unique creative rolls like White tower, Lolipop. They also have kid friendly chopsticks, and my kid love the hand rolls.“
“I love Musashi's. Delicious food, decent serving sizes for the price (especially the onigiri), quick service, and complimentary tea at each table! I can always find a spot to sit. My one complaint is that the seating is not very comfortable.I've also ordered takeout from them using DoorDash and everything comes just as I ordered it and very quickly, too!“
“Great service, food was delicious (bento box & sushi), came out fast and tasted fresh. Someone ordered the teriyaki and it looked and smelled really good (I will order this next time). I also ordered a customized roll and they did a perfect job, and the price was very reasonable. I will say there was Spanish music playing in the restaurant, that was weird.“
“I've been here twice now. I ordered the combo with spicy chicken teriyaki, noodles and egg rolls. The spicy chicken teriyaki was really good, the noodles also good. Complimentary soup was good. You can also get Complimentary Jasmine green tea ?. Good service, nice and clean bathroom. Overall great and it will be my new go to teriyaki place in Woodinville.“
