Hands down the best sushi restaurant in the area! The food is incredibly fresh and tasty. Wait times were super fast, which made the whole experience even better. Our server, a little older lady with butterfly frame glasses, was absolutely exceptional. I only have one simple requirement from any server: refill my water glass when it's empty. She nailed it without me having to ask, and the service overall was incredibly fast. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE!!! Everything about this place was absolutely exquisite! Me and my father went here just for some sushi and it was the only one within walking distance and let's be real just for a moment, it was reasonably priced. This was probably the first time I went to a place and LOVED everything I ate. The dishes were fanomanal and three portion sizes were pretty big. And the server was absolutely on top of it and the bus boy to! 10/10 No doubt in my mind!

Great and varied sushi rolls available at this convenient location. Atmosphere and service were nothing extraordinary, but fine. Sushi portions are good (we got 3 rolls and edamame for the 4 of us). Flavors are excellent. Rolls are well made/rolled/cut. Nothing falling apart when you pick it up. Fish is fresh and like I said, lots of interesting choices of rolls.

We went here while walking around near Pike Place Market. Great option if you’re dining with both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. As a vegetarian, I had plenty to choose from. We ordered the tempura sushi roll (fried asparagus inside), seaweed salad, tomato-based tofu dish, and edamame. Everything was very good. The tempura sushi was especially good — we liked it enough to order a second roll. It’s not cheap (around $20 for the roll), but the quality was there. Others in our group ordered seafood sushi and enjoyed their dishes as well. If you’re vegetarian and eating with a mixed group, this place works well.

I visited on Tuesday and was seated quickly in front of the rolling sushi area. I ordered the mango sake, the Seattle Crunchy Roll, and one Emperor's rolls. For dessert, I had the mochi sampler with four flavors—mango was my favorite. Overall, everything was delicious. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely come back to this restaurant again.
