“ Great sushi spot with great service! This place is near the newly renovated Nippon Kan Theatre - convenient if you're needing a quick bite before a show. I also enjoyed the sake selection last time I went. ”

“ This is a great little restaurant off the beaten path of Seattle's International District. The Chicken Katsu Curry was cooked to perfection. Light and crispy on the outside, and most and tender on the inside. The chef also sends a complimentary appetizer plate, which contains a variety of items and a little side dish of marinated fresh fish. Excellent overall and I highly recommend this restaurant! ”

“ Ended up here because of the wait at another restaurant and I am so glad we did. Portions were large, the price was right! It was a cold night and warm inside the restaurant. It's simply decorated, it looks very nice. It's somewhat elegant. Another Yelper mentioned the bathroom. I thought it was perfectly clean, no smell lol Staff was incredible. Service A+ Really looking forward to coming again soon. ”

“ Solid place. This is the spot to set a basic benchmark if you're trying to figure out the Seattle sushi or overall Japanese restaurant scene. This isn't a place usually mentioned when it comes to hip or trendy or hipster sushi. It's just good quality, authentic Japanese. Give this place a shot and then set your sights higher or lower depending on your credit card limit. King salmon, ikura and uni nigiri plus an order of chicken karaage came to $62.90 before tax. And I stuck to just water for a beverage. ouch. with tax and 20% tip...just over $75. that's just for me a single person. I must admit, I am still not used to the cost of dining out in Seattle. The sit-down restaurant tax really stings. Take advantage of making online reservations if you go during peak hours. If not, I recommend going off peak. (nice light from the south during these winter months in the early afternoon). And if you want to get better bang for your buck, check out the happy hour menu. lastly, the service was friendly and attentive without smothering. And beware the speakers in a couple corners of the dining room. If you're seated below them they can be a little loud. ”

“ One of my favorite places to get sushi at! This was on a Sunday at around 7pm, and the place was packed with every seat filled. There was a half-hour wait for my party of 3 in this case, so come early. They do have parking validation if you don't want to deal with rough Chinatown parking. The inside feels like a modernized Japanese restaurant with a bar, tons of seating that was still packed, and several tatami rooms open for reservation. It's pretty bright inside here too. Their menu consists of various kinds of sushi and rolls, bento boxes, udon and even some Korean dishes, so my group and I had a lot to choose from. We got the killer salmon roll, the Godzilla roll and the volcano lobster roll (not pictured) as our main stuff, and added in some takoyaki as an appetizer. Takoyaki was hot and fresh, and was nicely arranged. The killer salmon roll was essentially a California roll with salmon but with the added effect of being set on fire prior to being served to our table. Same with the volcano lobster roll, which was my absolute favorite especially when I get to take video of it burning for the first time! The lobster roll was VERY filling, which I loved a lot despite the portion sizes for the sushi already being pretty huge and also proportional to their prices. The Godzilla roll was the only one not set on fire but it was tasty with the soy and aioli nonetheless. ”

“ A friend highly recommended this spot so I had to check it out. We each ordered the bento box for a whopping $28 each but the portion size absolutely makes up for it. You can pick two different or the same entrees to go in your box. The chicken katsu was perfection, crunchiest and juiciest katsu ive had in the city. The salmon teriyaki was okay, it was nice and crispy but couldn't taste any of the teriyaki sauce. We also ordered the spicy calamari, which was a 4/5 spice level for me, so a bit too spicy, and the spicy tuna crispy rice was good. Next time i go I plan to order a couple rolls and check out their lunch specials. The servers were super kind and boxed everything up for us, and the interior was very cute, it felt like the 90s, in a good way. It was pretty packed on a Sunday night at 6:30. ”

“ Stumbled across this restaurant cos our original plans for the restaurant across the street fell through But this was a happy accident! They absolutely packed our bentos! I opted for the katsu and saba while my friend got the katsu and sashimi! Soooo good. Staff was incredibly friendly to us and we loved everything. I would definitely come back for the tempura arrangement and saba! ”

“ Food was great. Staff is great. Not too busy on a Tuesday afternoon. Nice, open restaurant, altho a little small- but since it's not busy it's perfect. Prices are as you'd expect. Brother in law says they're known for their bento boxes. (He also says California roll is actually really good here.) Lunch bentos are like $21 Samurai roll $20 Spider roll $16 Chicken katsu a little dry. Tempura is superrr crispy so loved it! There are some Korean things on the menu (bibimbap and bulgogi, etc.) but we didn't try them. ”

“ We had a party of 6 and came in on a Sat evening without reservations. It was good that they could sit although the tatami room was not available. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, and I ordered Uni, Sake Kani, and A5 Fillet Mignon Wagyu Steak off the Today's Recommendations menu. Later they told me they were out of Wagyu Steak, so that was a bummer for me. Other than that, everyone enjoyed the drinks, the food, and the free dessert that was given as it was my friend's bday. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The prices were fair for a Japanese restaurant. ”
