Soft opening July 24 - August 1 where the premium menu is being offered at the lunch price of $23.95 all day. Afterwards, dinner (premium menu) will be $31.95. Note that during this time hours may be inconsistent. While listed at 11 AM - 9 PM during soft opening, they had to close early at 7 PM on the second day and stopped taking names for the waitlist around 5 PM.
I managed to join the waitlist at 4:30 and waited about 90 minutes before checking in, granted I was walking around with friends. I think many people join the waitlist and no-show which is also causing inconsistency so try to stay close or wait inside. I was seated quickly after sitting inside even without receiving a text message.
Ultimately, happy to welcome Sushi% to Chinatown, nice to have an AYCE sushi spot closer to Seattle. At the current price point, value is hard to pass up and location is fair. Chinatown parking so mainly street or paid lots. I've been missing Bluefin for years so this is a great replacement. Service is a bit slow on the rolls but other items come out at a fair pace. Fish is a solid quality, I enjoyed the salmon offerings more than the tuna but for what it's worth, the tuna did sell out. By no means expect similar quality as other sushi spots but it is AYCE and a good experience.
For every adult, you can order 2 rolls per round. No listed limit on other items, but we did find that they didn't honor larger requests for sashimi. For the purposes of documenting and just sharing opinion, I'll call out my more memorable items. Lots of rolls here include tempura shrimp and the tempura can add up so I'd be alert on that.
Ichi Roll - there's crawfish on top which is unique but another interesting taste was the seaweed strips. Overall, a blend of flavors (savory, salty, and sweet from sauce) alongside balance of texture (crunchiness and softness). A unique roll that I'd recommend.
168 Roll - the better seared salmon roll. Avocado and crab inside is a standard combo that add fattiness while the seared salmon is smoky and rich. Combined, these complement each other.
Sear Salmon Roll - another roll with tempura shrimp inside which felt pretty heavy but the seared salmon was wonderful. I'd opt for the sister roll, the 168 Roll, that replaces the shrimp with avocado.
Salmon Belly Nigiri - love salmon belly for being fattier and more tender. Paired with cuts of salmon sashimi, there's a strong balance of flavor. Recommend ordering this on the nigiri side because salmon belly is not offered for sashimi cuts.
Surimi Crab Bomb - for starters, we had no idea that surimi crab was simply imitation crab. This is a simple inarizushi where imitation crab and rice are stuffed into an inari fried tofu pouch. The tofu was flavorful but I'd skip the large amount of crab salad.
Sashimi - all cuts tasted up to expectations. Fairly fresh and nice quality. They are cut smaller and each order is 3 pieces. Salmon and seared salmon are always wonderful. Tuna for those who can handle the fishy taste. Escolar mackerel is a fattier level up with more of a fishy taste.
Vanilla Ice Cream - pretty sure this is Costco's French Vanilla but it really hits the spot after being fairly bloated. There's always room for dessert, after all.
