"Like so many other great sushi spots in this town, Hummingbird Sushi in Queen Anne serves pristine fish in a quiet, wood-paneled room. But what makes this restaurant stand out is that it’s easy-breezy to book a reservation and you can order all of the sushi from the $150 omakase menu for a la carte service. The nigiri, illuminated by tap-to-power library lamps, are petite in size and mighty in quality. Hits from a recent visit include buttery Canadian salmon, toro zuke, and hirame engawa that disintegrates like a Claritin Reditab. We’ll be back to try the omakase. But for now, the mix-and-match set-up makes this a freeing experience improved by starters like red miso soup and panko-breaded lobster balls topped with kiwi salsa and cream sauce." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
