Japonessa Sushi Cocina

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.

Mike, our server, was super attentive, friendly and made the whole experience even better. I ordered a lychee cocktail, calamari, and the Sasquatch sushi roll, and everything was excellent. The flavors were fresh and well balanced and the presentation was great. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

Happy hour here feels like you accidentally stumbled into a secret that Seattle forgot to gatekeep. The spread alone deserves applause. Generous rolls stacked with flavor, sashimi so fresh you slow down without realizing it, and plates that keep arriving like the kitchen is quietly rooting for you to have the best night possible. This is not a “light snack” happy hour. This is a commitment. The vibe lands perfectly between polished and relaxed. Low lighting, a lively room, and bar energy that makes you say “just one more roll” and then immediately order three more. Everything tastes intentional, balanced, and indulgent without being overdone. Come hungry. Sit at the bar if you can. Order boldly. And don’t be surprised if happy hour turns into the rest of your evening. Five stars, easy decision. 🍣✨

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.

The wife and I decided to stop here for happy hour and we are glad we did. The sushi rolls were divine and my wife said it was on the best miso soup she ever had; and she really enjoyed the hot green tea. Highly recommend for happy hour. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. The restaurant was very clean and nice. A great selection of gluten-free options.

I had the lucky 7, a chefs choice Nigiri and a Mexican ninja roll. Both were fresh and delicious. The only downside for me was one of the Nigiri was raw shrimp which I am not a fan of (strictly personal)The miso soup was piping hot and very tasty. I happen upon happy hour which is 9pm to close. 7 dollar glasses of wine and a whole menu of happy hour things to choose from. I would say not kid friendly because the ambiance is very low lit, nearly dark except for where the sushi is made. It was a short walk from my hotel. Parking didn't seem very good, it is downtown Seattle on a Friday night. Service was very good as well! If you like sushi 🍣 I say go for it!

Had a great experience at this sushi spot near the Seattle harbour. I ordered The Union roll — absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The ambience was cozy and modern, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Convenient location if you’re exploring the waterfront area. Would definitely come back!

Wonderful experience and delicious food! We had 3 adults and 1 older kid… we ordered 8 rolls and they were gone in no time! The super bad boy was a huge hit! So so good! I also had a lychee martini and it was very refreshing and tasty!

I first visited Japonessa over seven years ago and came back this weekend--still incredible. A daily happy hour from 11:30-5:30pm is unbeatable. We sat at a larger table this time (I loved the bar vibe on my last visit), and our server--whose name I can't remember--was great. We shared the Super Bad Boy, Mexican Ninja, spicy yellowtail hand roll, and Calamari Japonessa. Everything was fresh and delicious. If I lived closer, I'd be here every day for lunch... and happy hour, hello!

Japonessa is a Mexican Japanese fusion. Got it during lunch and the restaurant was huge. Lots of seating, menu items, and everything. We tried out all sorts of items including the nigiri mix, toro which was our favorite, and the calamari. All had a great flavor and jive to it. When I visit Seattle, def on the list again albeit being a bit pricey. Staff were nice.

Wasn't too impressed with the sushi we ordered -- overall, it was a bit bland. We tried the Mexican Ninja and The Legend. The Mexican Ninja was tastier thanks to the sauce, and the mix of fish and shrimp added some variety. For apps, the hamachi usu was fresh and had a good portion, but the sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. The chicken karaage tasted more like thin chicken tenders and was quite oily. Service was okay, though we were seated in the back, which felt plain and lacked atmosphere. The cocktails were great -- I really enjoyed my lychee martini. Maybe I came in with high expectations based on the reviews, but overall, it didn't quite live up to the hype.

Japonessa is a personal favorite in Seattle every single time. Whether I have a reservation or not, staff are super welcoming and it takes no more than 10m to get a table. Best seats in the house if you are wanting drinks is obviously the bar. Bartenders KNOW their stuff so if you are adventurous like me, you'll ask them to make you something like that Mango Mezcal margarita you see in the photo! It was soo good! The atmosphere is always lively with patrons and staff having a good time!

I had heard that Japanese's had a really good happy hour deal so I stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday. There were not many people in the restaurant so my group was seated immediately. We were handed menus and had our waters filled up quickly. I'm glad that the table next to us was empty because it was quite close to us and it would have been quite difficult to get in and out if someone was there. We ordered the super bad boy roll, Mexican ninja, and two other rolls recommended by our waiter. They were all very good and different but my favorite by far was the Super bad boy. Overall everything was very solid but the price was phenomenal. Will definitely be back for happy hour!

Japonessa never disappoints! We usually go to the Bellevue location since it's closer, but we were in Seattle for the day and decided to give the Seattle location a shot. We started with the edamame (garlic + hot) and gyoza, and they were both perfectly seasoned and delicious. Then, we ordered 3 rolls: Happy Hour Sweet Seduction and California Crunch Rolls, as well as a seasonal Santa Claws roll which is a MUST try!! Our server was super attentive, and we got our food rather quickly. 10/10 would recommend!!

We were visiting Seattle on a weekend in early November and were looking for some good sushi. This place was pretty close to our hotel so we decided to give it a whirl. It is a small restaurant but has different levels so it feels bigger than it is. The staff were friendly and we were seated after about 15 minutes. The food was good, I enjoyed my salmon sushi platter. The service was good but a little slow. It smelled a little fishy.

I had an amazing solo experience here. I'm not huge on raw sushi but I've been slowly diving into it. (Yes, I ate all of this alone. I was in a treat myself, vacation mood). I ordered: - Super Bad Boy Roll 5/5 - Spicy Yellowtail Roll 2/5 - 7 course Omakase 5/5 - El diablo with tequila drink 4/5 The yellowtail roll didn't do anything for me. It was just ok. The super bad boy was really flavorful with a nice crunch. On to the omakase- wow! This completely changed my outlook on raw sushi. The pieces that really stood out to me were the scallops, shrimp, flounder, and fatty tuna. The squid piece was the only one I wasn't a fan of, raw- it was mushy and of strong scent. I enjoyed my meal here very much. The ambiance was welcoming, servers were attentive and friendly. It is modern, clean and spacious. If I'm ever in Washinton again, I would return.

We were lucky there was no wait during dinner time. Most of the first was fresh. You can't go wrong with salmon. I got the special that came with 4pc sashimi and a brut. It was a pretty good deal! Salmon belly nigiri was so good. Sadly, the Albacore and the light pink sashimi was kind of mushy and icy. It was our least favorite. The rolls were okay. Too many crazy creations to choose from. The Seattle roll was a safe choice. There was one that had a truffle aroma that the next table got. Hope yall try that one for me! Service was great. One of the staff gave us good recommendations and the staff that took over her shift was really attentive. Overall atmosphere was pretty nice. They had good music on throughout the night.

Some of the freshest sushi I've ever had! I highly recommend going here if you're in the area. I was in town for a few days and happened to be passing by with my friend, so we decided to stop in. We went early, around 2pm on a Monday which happened to be happy hour (until 5:30pm). There were so many choices, we ended up ordering the BBQ short ribs for appetizer, udon, salmon sampler, lucky 7 sushi, eel roll, Seattle crunch, Seattle roll, and Mexican Ninja. Everything was absolutely delicious. For dessert, we ended up trying the lychee sherbet and the coconut cake with raspberry sauce. The place itself was pretty empty at this time, there were a couple tables occupied throughout. The waiter kept coming over and checking in on us, and even another employee kept coming over to refill our water, even though we had the bottle at our table. It was a little excessive, I'm talking about every sip he would come and refill it. But it was probably all part of good service, in their eyes. The restaurant itself was clean and pretty quiet. I will definitely be back during my next visit!

Best sushi and miso soup I have had in a while. Ignore the scaffolding and try it out anyways!

LOVED japonessa, we went during happy hour unknowingly and it was great. Sushi is fresh and came out fast, inside was clean, service was great, location was central. The Brie bites were good but extremely rich and didn't really fit the vibe but that's on us. Highly would recommend and would come back in if the area again!

I was craving sushi on a trip and browsing Yelp for nearby restaurants when I found this place. The high number of reviews and decent rating gave me hope, but this sushi was the worst I've ever had. Not sure if I just went on a bad day, but if this is the sushi standard for people in Seattle for this place to have an average of 4/5 stars, I feel sorry for them. Of the 12 piece omakase set, nearly every single nigiri was mushy, fishy, and disgusting. I don't love the taste of every fish, so as long as it doesn't taste bad it's fine, but I was struggling to swallow after 5 pieces and gagging at each bite trying to convince myself that it wasn't that bad because I chose this restaurant of my own free will. Finishing this set was harder than walking uphill in downtown all day. Can't deny that it is a beautiful set though, but that's all that it's good for. I did not try any rolls, but I can only imagine if they are made of the same fish that the nigiri is made from that the sauce, rice, seaweed, and other additions mask the disgusting flavor and texture. The ceviche and sukiyaki tacos were good though, and it almost tempted me to give this restaurant 2 stars. However, it will remain at 1 because the name of the restaurant literally has the word "sushi" in it and is listed as a Sushi Bar on Yelp. If you're gonna emphasize the sushi, make it edible. TLDR: disgusting, literally so bad. do NOT come here!! you'd have better raw fish if it was delivered by a non-refrigerated truck to the middle of Kansas.

Had a fabulous experience at Japonessa this past weekend! The sushi is so delicious and service was so friendly. I loved my experience there and would definitely go back. We went to happy hour at 9pm and it was really affordable for all the food we got! I got agedashi tofu, spicy salmon roll, Seattle roll, spicy yellowtail :)

We decided we didn't want to wait for Matt's across the street so we pounced on a bar seat here instead. We are so happy we did! It was entertaining watching the sushi chefs toil away at their craft as we sat and watched the whirlwind of activity. We ordered the spicy garlic edamame, salmon roe sushi, belly sushi sampler, spicy tuna roll, mexican ninja roll, and Seattle roll. The bill came out to around $110 with tip and felt well worth it. The belly sampler was probably the star of the show. It came with 4 pieces and each melted in your mouth. My wife loved her generous portion of salmon roe with a quail egg added to the top. The Seattle roll (salmon), spicy tuna roll, and edamame all tasted great. The Mexican Ninja roll came with an assortment of fish on top and a delicious yet light sauce drizzle. You can sit in an ample dining room, along the cocktail bar, at the sushi bar, and even outside.

Visited Japonessa Sushi to celebrate a birthday. Our experience was amazing. Ambiance is mellow and family friendly. Our server was really nice and offered us some recommendations, for food and activities in the city. The calamari was delicious, the best one we've ever had. The sauce and salad elevates it. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. We loved this place so much we returned for dinner our last night in Seattle.

We ordered the edamame with garlic to start, which cost an extra dollar for some garlic. It came out looking good and smelled soo tempting. It was such a disappointment at first bite. It was overcooked and mushy and lacked any flavor besides garlic. We had to ask for salt which helped the flavor but not the texture. I ordered the chirashi bowl. Again it came up looking amazing, very pretty and elegant presentation. Again it was a disappointment. 80% of the fish was mushy and flavorless, as if it was soaked in water. The octopus was good as well as one of the fish but since it was chef's choice, I didn't know what kind of fish it was as I was not told when the food came out. The sauce on the rice was good though. I gave two stars because my friend ordered the belly sampler sushi and she liked her meal.

Wow if I could rate this 6 stars I would. First off, I just want to say we got lucky, the place was busy around 5:30pm on a Sunday, but we were seated immediately by the bar. However you should look into getting a reservation if you can. Service - what amazing service!! The server and staff were very attentive, filling up my water every chance they could get and they were super friendly. Food - They asked if we wanted any appetizers and I opted for miso soup. Delicious by the way but it includes mushrooms for those of you allergic to the fungi. We ordered the Belly Sampler sashimi and it was so buttery, fresh, and light. It comes with atlantic salmon, yellowtail, albacore and bluefin toro. Next we ordered 4 rolls: Matador - 11/10 my favorite, after all it has seared filet mignon. You have to get this if you come here. Heat Stroke - 11/10 the lime on top was a refreshing and tangy touch. Not quite spicy but that's ok because my stomach didn't need it anyways. (It's still recovering from mala soup at Hai Di Lao) Super Bad Boy and Spicy Crunch - 8/10 Good and the reason why I grouped them together was because they tasted very similar. Granted Bad Boy has the eel inside and spicy crab mix on top, but honestly if you get a Crunch Roll, just get 1. I will definitely recommend this to my family and friends who are visiting Seattle and for sure will come back.

Very disappointing given the Yelp rating. The edamame had no salt so it lacked any real flavor. The Chirashi bowl was one star at best. And my friends ordered two of them. Worst sashimi I've ever had in a restaurant. The fish was mushy and tasted like it had been soaked in water for a long time. I would say grocery store sashimi tasted better than this. Complete disappointment. The Belly Sushi Sampler was good which is why I'm willing to give them place a 3 star review. Probably worth more of a 2 star review since my two friends left disappointed with their chirashi bowls.

Thursday 5:30 walk in, majority tables are taken, there are about 5 ppl waiting. Fortunately this restaurant has lots of open bar seatings, inside and outside. The crowd tells the popularity. The waitress is friendly and showed me the way to the bar seating. Ordered the salmon tartar and agidashi tofu. Served in 5 minutes, the salmon is not that fresh meanwhile the sauce on it on the very sweet and vinaigrette side. And the Agidashi tofu sauce is also disappointing, tasted like heavy soy sauce, lack of the traditional delicate taste. Price is reasonable and menu has lots of options. Suitable for Family and friends gathering near pike palace.

Had an incredible omakase sashimi dinner every cut was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. Honestly couldn't pick a favorite because everything was phenomenal. Easily a 10/10 experience. Service was prompt and professional, and our server was impressively knowledgeable about each sashimi cut. The ambiance was relaxed yet refined perfect for a special occasion or just a fun night out. Would definitely recommend

They have happy hour daily until 5:30 pm. Food is delicious. I love the variety of HH kitchen items, as well as the sushi selection. There's more to choose from on their main menu. Reservations are recommended. Location is on 1st & Union downtown, a block away from the Market. They also have a Bellevue location that has parking.

Amazing experience, I went for happy hour and everything that I tried it was delicious, service was amazing and location is great. I'd love to come back!!

First time trying out this sushi spot. Arrived for HH, the parking situation is a mess as you can't street park until after 7pm. The happy hour options are pretty good but the prices kind of reflect normal prices at other sushi spots. The staff were all kind and helpful with our order. We ordered the sashimi assortment and Mexican roll. The roll was so fresh and not overwhelmed by sauce. There were some cuts of the sashimi assortment (ie raw octopus) that I didn't love. Overall good experience!

Still my go to place when I'm in Seattle! Food is still the best, service is still superb, restaurant is still clean and inviting! You need to try this place whether you're here for Happy Hour or the Regular Menu!

Booked a table for two on a Friday night, ambiance was relaxing yet almost high end feeling. Service was great for it being a busy Friday night, not once did I have to wave the waiter down for anything; he was very attentive. We started off with the scallop ceviche (10/10), spicy garlic edamame (9/10), and the chicken karage (8/10) star of the appetizers was definitely the scallop ceviche! We then got the salmon sampler and the belly sampler, all cuts melted in your mouth and was the best fresh fish we've gotten in Washington so far! For me my favorite was the white king salmon, and my husbands was the tuna belly. We ended with specialty rolls, the Scorpio Sting and the Mexican Ninja. Both surprisingly weren't as spicy as they were described to be but very delicious!! We will definitely be back! Or try the Bellevue location next.

We came here on a whim looking for dinner in downtown and so glad we did!! I did make a last minute reservation online but tbh I don't think we needed it. Such a cute place on the insight and our waiter was immediately super friendly in trying to provide recommendations. We of course got some edamame and sake to start. I've never really been a sake fan but have to admit this one was delicious. We also got the tempura sampler platter but the main show was the sushi. 4 different roll and I've never had sushi that tasted this fresh. It was unbelievable every single piece. My favorite thing tho was the sashimi - I've never had it but decided we had to try the salmon sampler (when in Washington ofc!) and holy cow. That salmon just melted like butter. What a stunning flavor. Excellent food and service and definite go again!!

Customer service was fabulous. Wait time was amazing Seating arrangements, decor and music was upbeat The food however was terrible. Rice tasted old and hard, fish was not fresh. And the baked rolls were bland. Wasn't impressed and I ended getting food poison afterwards. So unfortunately not a place I would revisit.

I was skeptical about a Latin sushi mall restaurant and with pretty good reason. While Japonessa was a reasonable spot for a quick, late lunch, the sushi menu was weird. Their sushi rolls tended toward spicy and/or drenched in a sweet glaze. The classic Japanese menu was solid enough and we enjoyed several pieces of nice fish. The worst aspect of all of it was the crabby attitude of many of the staff, who seemed like they hated being there. We overhead more than one bickering, snippy exchange between staff members, suggesting that the work environment here is dysfunctional. Considering that the typical check at a restaurant like this easily exceeds $100, it's hard to fathom that servers aren't making a pretty good living.

An amazing sushi place! They have free validated parking, service is amazing and the food came pretty quickly for a busy Valentine's Day evening. We ordered a lychee martini, Takoyaki, eel roll, ultimate dragon and a Cassanova. My favorites were the ultimate dragon and lychee martini. I liked how the rolls had generous amounts of fish and filling and not too much rice. The music was nice, bathrooms are clean and booths are clean too. My only complaint is we were sat at a corner with a narrow space between tables, so my partner kept having to scoot/lean forward when people passed by.

Stopped by Japonessa Sushi Cocina on a weekday around 5:30pm, and wow--it was already packed! The place definitely has a lively vibe: music is loud, energy is high, and it feels more like a party spot than a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant. If that's the atmosphere you're looking for, you'll love it. I sat at the bar and ordered the $150 Omakase. The bartender and servers were super friendly, but you could tell how busy they were--he was juggling a lot of guests at once. Service was still solid, just not as personal as I hoped for given the price point. As for the food: some of the fish was good, but not all pieces were super fresh, which was a letdown at this level. The quality overall was decent, but for $150, I was expecting something a bit more refined and consistent. Overall, it's a fun spot with good energy and friendly staff. I really wanted to give it 5 stars, but the food and details just didn't quite match the hype (or the price) this time.

The experience today was really odd, I had made a reservation for 7:30 for 3 and had gotten there a little early and had checked in and we didn't get seated until 7:52 and had asked what was the status at 7:40 and 7:50 what was going on and they just simply said that the table before us was apparently refusing to leave. I felt like the hostess were annoyed with us that we were asking for our table, it seemed that people who came after us were seated before us and all overall was not really happy with that. They didn't seem apologetic or understanding and seemed annoyed with us if anything, and I was trying to be polite and patient even though you really shouldn't have to wait over 20 minutes for a reservation. The server though wss very very nice throughout the whole service, we did get 3 complimentary miso soups which was very nice and that he surprised us with. The food was very hit or miss today. The miso soup was good, had mushrooms which u liked. The tacos were flavorful and a bit messy and sauce to eat, I liked them though. The hamachi usu was really good and refreshing and I enjoyed that. The spicy tuna was really bad and def tasted strong fishy flavor and we all agreed it was the worst dish of the night (we've def been here before and tried the same dish so idk but it's usually not so bad). The shrimp tempura was my favorite dish, and we ordered a Barcelona roll which was good but i felt like it was a very soft roll and needed a crunch and that the roll was falling over a bit. We did also order a Mexican ninja but we never got charged or brought it but honestly with the experience we had so far we didn't care so much to ask about it. So not really sure what happened there. The server was so nice though and apologized again for our wait and gave us free dessert on the house. The place is nice and in downtown but the waiting area was pretty packed and cramped. Overall the service and experience was very up and down today, the food as well. I've been here before and enjoyed it so don't know what was up today but service and food were inconsistent today

We had a short wait for a table as we'd come in late in the evening and they were busy, which can often be a great sign! We ordered several items on the menu. One of them had a sweet habanero sauce with the sushi roll, we thought we'd enjoy it but the sweetness really threw us off. We also ordered the Heat Stroke roll and that was absolutely incredible. We were amazed and quickly found our new favorite sushi roll, in fact we raved about it the whole weekend. The kimchi hot pot was delicious as well. Service was great, our waiter was timely and efficient, kind, and attentive. Overall, we will definitely be going back to try new things.

We came here with my sister and brother in law a nice sushi dinner night out. We had both tried them before but it had been a while. We had reservations so we didn't have to wait long. I ordered the strawberry nigori, the unfiltered sake. My favorite way to enjoy sake. The calamari was light and flavorful. I really enjoyed the sweet chili dressing. Not too heavy. The hamachi appetizer was cleansing and fresh. The jalapeños were not too spicy. A good kick. The omakase sashimi was fresh and plentiful. I loved the eel roll, I forgot what it was called but it had grilled eel on top. I had been craving eel and it hit the spot. There were a few other rolls we order too and they were all very god, even the one with seared steak on top. A different approach to seafood sushi. The chicken yakisoba was okay. The seasoning tasted like the microwaveable yakisoba noodle bowls. But surprisingly it was better the next day. We loved all of the food and were so full after. My sister also ordered their coconut cake and that was also very good. I don't typically like shredded coconut, but it has really grown on me. The cake did seem like it was refrigerated because it wasn't as soft.

This our favorite sushi spot in Seattle. We always make it a point to stop by when we are in town. (IIYKY) If you can make during happy hour, even better. But if not, the food is delicious no matter what. We absolutely love the food here and on our first visit years ago, we found our favorite sake (Junmai Ginjo - Silver) On this visit, we ordered: 1. Hamachi Usu 2. Chicken Karaage 3. Salmon Sampler 4. Belly Sampler 5. Ikura Nigiri 6. Unagi Nigiri 7. Barcelona Sunset Roll 8. Cheesecake Souffle EVERYTHING was fresh and absolutely delicious! We are salmon and hamachi lovers and as you can see in my photos, everything looks sooo good and indeed it was. Yum, Yum, Yum! The restaurant can be very busy and their restaurant is actually a decent size. I would say reservations are a must!

Japonessa is a go-to when we are near Pike's Place. We always manage to get something terrific. I would recommend reserving a seat through Open Table as there can be some wait. The staff are friendly and very helpful and it's a well lit place. I didn't realize that I went when ComicCon was going on one year and in walks Nathan Fillion. I was absolutely geeking out but one of the coolest moments of my life. If celebrities are going there then you know it's a happenin' place!

It's getting harder and harder to find a place that serves quality sushi at a good value. Fortunately, the happy hour here still fits the bill. Came by today with some friends. I got the happy hour chirashi, along with a 5 piece sushi set. The fish tasted fresh price was more than fair. It's easy to get good sushi in Seattle if you're willing to pay for it but sometimes, you don't want to pay a couple hundred dollars for a meal.

Stopped at this restaurant after checking out pike place market. Great pick!! Sushi was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't stop talking about it all trip. The service on top of the fantastic food, was phenomenal. Would love to visit there again if we ever were to return to the city.

Since my last post about this place 8 years ago, Japonessa has become our go to place to celebrate our group's bday parties or for happy hour! We enjoy all our servers and we love the spicy sauces they have to complement our meals! I am only giving a 4 star due to a hair in my food... I am one of those people that cannot handle that and I had to throw my ginger chicken out. So disappointing but I am sure I will be going back. Not anytime soon, but eventually!

Fantastic food, fantastic service! We had pre-concert dinner reservations and had a great experience. The sushi is fresh, the rolls are imaginative, the restaurant is spotless (including the restrooms), and the service is expert, knowledgeable, and professional. They totally nailed everything about our dinner experience...we loved it!

This very cool sushi restaurant came highly recommended and I was blown away by the whole experience. Just walked in and even without reservations, and in the thick of dinner, hostess, without hesitation, offered seating looking out at the patio and into the street. Definitely a win since it was obvious we were in a hot sushi spot! The rolls were some of the best I've ever had. When you don't have to dip in soy sauce and wasabi because it's that legit, you know you're not getting a basic roll;) Besides fantastic service, the decor was sleek & classy, & definitely giving party and/or date vibes. I must come back sooner than later on another future trip!

My husband and I have three kids and don't get out much. We had a downtown Seattle trip planned for our anniversary and decided to have our late lunch/early dinner which turned out to be happy hour, here and we were so into it! Loved the tempura Brie--had never heard of it or seen it on a menu before but as big fans of soft cheeses, we ordered it and it was amazing. Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside with some jam to dip it in. We could have left after that and been satisfied. The beef and salmon tacos were delicious. I wouldn't stop talking about how perfect the salmon was for the next couple days. We were almost too full for the Seattle crunch roll but it was great too. The wait staff was also very friendly which I noticed because it seems like everywhere else we go these days everyone is so burnt out on autopilot so I guess it was refreshing to see people who seem nice and enjoy their job.

My favorite sushi spot in Seattle. The quality if phenomenal and they have a great happy hour. The customer service is always top notch as the waiters make sure you are never waiting long and come check on you quick often. The location is near Pikes Place and many other downtown sightseeing spots which makes it convenient if you are a tourist. However locals also love this place. My favorite roll was the Legend and I loved it so much I ended up getting two. Same with the salmon sashimi. The quality was fantastic that I decided to get a second order.

We went for happy hour and they have a pretty decent HH menu with lots of options! Prices were still pretty high, even for HH. We got the Seattle roll, which was overall good. The tobiko was larger than what I'm typically used to. So it was also a lot stronger flavor than the tiny ones. We also got the Eel roll which was delicious! Good chunks of eel Lastly for sushi the chefs choice. I do appreciate how they use uncommon options so you're not spending $30 for salmon and tuna. It doesn't list what they gave us, but it tasted fresh and was nicely plated. Chicken things and beef tacos were decent, but spending for HH

The fish was solid, beverage menu was legit specially the "forgive me, father". I give the Omakase a four out of five stars only because three pieces of the fish were Guidolin and octopus, which aren't my jam because of their texture, but otherwise everything was great quality and solid.

This place was a short walk from our hotel. We were seated right at our reservation time. Portions were large and the food was delicious, fresh and pretty to look at. Prices weren't bad either. Ambience was really nice - very stylish inside.

I came in on a Saturday night, no reservation was needed and was sat right away. The service was quick and attentive. The sushi was good but a bit expensive for a roll. I figured I would try the rolls to get a bit more of the fusion experience but maybe I would've been better off with the nigiri or sashimi. The sake sangria was really good as well! Overall, happy I checked it out but probably won't be my go to for sushi in the area.

I really enjoyed the sushi here!! We ordered a little bit of everything. Food was very fresh and cocktails were great too. Service was good and friendly. The atmosphere was a little cramped but nonetheless I would return again.

The sushi rolls were very yummy and so fresh. Quantity is huge. The margarita was soar and had good balance of flavors. Not at all sweet. Service was amazin. Will definitely come back
