Came back to FOB Sushi and I can confidently say it was even better than when I first went back in August. For a super casual, pay-by-weight sushi spot, the quality honestly surprised me this time around.
The setup is grab-a-tray and choose whatever looks good, which I love because you're not stuck committing to a whole roll. They had a solid variety of nigiri, baked pieces, spicy mixes, and even some torched options. The salmon looked vibrant and fresh, and the specialty pieces had way more flavor than I remembered. Nothing tasted dry or old -- everything was well-seasoned and satisfying. Definitely better than your typical quick-grab sushi.
Ambience-wise, it's pretty lowkey and no-frills. It's not a sit-down date night vibe -- more of a casual, quick lunch or grab-and-go type of spot. But it's clean, organized, and the display is visually appealing (you'll definitely end up grabbing more than you planned).
Service is straightforward and efficient. Staff keeps the line moving and restocks consistently. It can get busy, but it never felt chaotic.
Best part? It's very affordable for Seattle. You can load up a tray with solid quality sushi and not feel like you just paid omakase prices. For the value alone, it's hard to beat.
If you're looking for fancy sushi, this isn't it. But if you want good quality, customizable, affordable sushi in downtown Seattle -- FOB hits.
