“A wonderful omakase experience. First and foremost, the food was excellent! But everything else was amazing too. The staff, the ambiance, the sake - all great. Our evening was reminiscent of some of our favorite meals in small restaurants in Japan.“
“We have enjoyed their original location in Seattle and continue to go there. Eating at Takai last night was a wonderful experience and we were very impressed with the quality of the dishes we ordered. Service was fantastic! Walking distance from the Westin so we will go again for sure! The bonus was meeting Mr and Mrs Kashiba as well!“
“This place is one of the best sushi restaurants I have been to. The first time, I felt the need to wear fancy clothes. The luxury feeling of the atmosphere and the service. Food is amazing, and the portion matches the price you pay. The beef bowl was bigger than we thought it was. The pork tonkatsu and the chicken tonkatsu came with two slabs and little pasta and rice and salad.we got the crunch roll, and the Lion king roll and the Dragon roll those are worth trying. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I definitely must eat here if in the mood for sushi in Renton.“
“We came around 8 PM for a table of four. The employees greeted and seated us right away. Food was honestly very tasty. I'm a sucker for sushi and it was delicious. The ramen was so rich of flavor and creamy. Service was quick and ordering was easy. Staff is very friendly! Will be coming here again.“
“Stop in on a chance while I was towing cars in the neighbourhood. It was really really good, Wish I had more time to enjoy it. I was in a hurry with the food. It was made fast service was great definitely going to stop back in and check out some of the rest of the menue In the future. Thank “
“Very nice, cozy inviting and warm place. The staff was excellent as was their liquor selection and Sushi. Everything was Superlative. Sushi was amazing and although their Japanese selection is limited they have three very good ones ready to pour. Also very nicely surprised they had real Whiskey rocks. Above and beyond anything I was expecting.“
“I headed there for lunch. The place was crowded with folks taking advantage of the lunch special. Even though nearly every table was full; service was quick and food was delicious. There’s no wonder this place is so highly rated. Next time I’ll go for some primo sashimi.“
“Bamboo sushi is a staple for date nights and great place to enjoy both fresh sashimi snd prepared roles. We tell people to get the green machine and rainbow roles. The hoki poki box entree is amazing. The miso soup and the edamame are great starters. Last time we were in we tried the Chirashi bowl as well which was great. The service at the bar is really quick and although we haven’t indulged, I hear their cocktails are good as well.Vegetarian options: There are multiple tasty roles and other dishes served without meat or animal products.Dietary restrictions: They will ask at the beginning of the meal and they will accommodate as necessary.Parking: There are multiple free parking lots and parking garages in the area.Kid-friendliness: This is a kid friendly establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: University place and the surrounding restaurants are all wheelchair accessible.“
“This place is incredibly solid, especially for the price. The man who served us who I am assuming is also the owner was incredibly kind, friendly and kept up with a handful of tables while I think possibly cutting nigiri as well. He even hooked us up with a free gyoza and brought a little snack for our baby. Some of the reviews here need to chill on expectations for a small town sushi spot. We tried a bunch of different nigiri and rolls and all of the fish tasted super fresh. These prices are legit half of a typical similar spot with the same quality. We'll continue to drop in this neighborhood gem whenever possible.“
“As far as sushi options at this price point go in Bellevue this is a great spot. I prefer this to japonessa or kobe around the same price point. High quality rolls - ordered spider, unagi, and spicy hamachi, all very good and well rolled. Would order all 3 again. It's not top tier sushi and isn't priced like it, I found a lot of value at the price point.“
“Why did it take me so long to try this place??If you have good taste and know your way around good Japanese food AND like what a good bento box is like- this is the place for you. I have been eating Japanese food my whole life and ate my way across Japan, I have missed the amazing bento boxes you can get literally anywhere there. This is the answer to that. Literally everything it have tried is amazing. I especially appreciate ordering online and picking up. Very very impressed.“
“Blown away! Tucked away, Nishino is a perfect little oasis for dining delicious, fresh sushi. Our waiter was so pleasant and delightful. He had a great attitude, sense of humor, and was so kind. Then there's the food - WOW. So fresh, so delicious. Had a previously bad experience with eel and with the trusted recommendations and preparation of the chefs, have been altered for the better. Everything was lovely. Such a spectacular place and already can't wait to go back!“
“Wonderful little hole in the wall restaurant with very well made and inexpensive sushi, teriyaki etc. The service is fast and very professional.Vegetarian options: There are some tasty vegetarian options.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp“
“Momoya is my favorite sushi restaurant. Fish is always so fresh, sushi is exquisite *chef's kiss*, service is always timely and friendly. I love coming here to celebrate and for the occasional dinner treat.Food is soo good I came here two days in a row!“
“At first I was a bit skeptical, given it is a sushi restaurant in the middle of the suburbs. It is a nice and clean restaurant. I will say when dining in, the experience was better than any other sushi restaurants I have been to. Right when you are seated, they offered complimentary hot towels (to wipe your hands) and miso soups (that are amazingly good). We're big fans of seared salmon nigiri and it is a typically what we order when eating sushi, I can say that they were spot on! Good size pieces of quality fish. With the right amount of sauces. And the presentation was great! The food was pretty quick as well. Their service was friendly. Apart from their dine in experience, I have also ordered a bulgogi and California rolls to go. Still exceeded expectations, and was delicious! 10/10 would highly recommend!“
“Had a great experience at Zushi Sushi in Issaquah. An intimate spot for great sushi. Plenty of choices for any sushi lover. I had the small sashimi which consisted of 6 generous pieces which included Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, White Tuna, and Albacore. Then I had the Crazy Horse which came loaded. You don't have to go into Seattle to have good sushi. And to end a great meal, I was served a fired Oreo that was fried to perfection! Zushi Sushi is definitely well worth a visit!“
“This is the ONLY Jae's review you will need to read: Tonight was my first night at Jae's. I called in to ask how long the wait was, and the staff let me know they were busy. They do not have an automated call system, so they took my number down and *called me personally* when a table opened up. We showed up at the ambiance was incredible. Jae is behind the counter slicing up beautiful pieces of Sashimi. There's a birthday party and we all do sake shots together. They all toast to Jae, an indication of how much his presence means to this place. Then we got our food. Each piece of sashimi and the Ootoro nigiri were INCREDIBLE. Melt in your mouth texture with bursting flavor. When we were halfway through our sashimi dinner, Jae poured us complimentary shots of sake. Safe to say I will be a regular here from now on. If you're looking for sushi, THIS IS THE PLACE!!“
“Very homely place for cozy but upscale sushi in Bellevue. Set right on the lake you can enjoy some views while you dine. The restaurant itself is cozy and quiet, great for talking. Sushi is moderately priced for their rolls but all ingredients are very fresh. Service is good too with nice hot tea. They have a couple sampler plates that are fun--the salmon sampler with 3 pieces was very fun as I am a salmon lover. They also have a variety of combos and bentos if you prefer that instead.“
“Our favorite Japanese restaurant on the east side. Some of our favorite items include the kabocha fried rice, chicken katsu dinner, mackerel / saba, albacore tataki salad, any of the sushi and tempura. It can get busy here for dinner on the weekend, so I suggest reservations.“
“Sushi cafe is a favorite among my family. I definitely recommend the momokawa pearl sake, and I don't think we've ever eaten something that we didn't like! Some of our regular rolls we order are the ichiro, the hella hot, rainbow roll, spider roll, sunset roll, fancy pants (the list goes on)!“
“We've been coming here for a few years and always enjoy the rolls. I'm sad they don't do the conveyor anymore, but the food is still good. The rolls are a bit on the bigger side (around, not length) so you can fill up fast.The place is nice inside, and there is usually plenty of seating. It's also not too loud so it's easy to have a conversation.Parking: Usually can find a spot, but occasionally gets busy and may have to drive around a bit.Kid-friendliness: Fine for kids. Nothing special but nothing to avoid for them.“
“Just went with my partner for our Valentine's Day date, and it was amazing! We had the kitchen bento and the sushi bento as well as the special Sea Dragon roll- it was a perfect lunch date! The sea dragon roll was the highlight, it was balanced and beautiful, I'm struggling to express how perfect this roll is. I'm so happy we went the atmosphere was so relaxing truly 10/10 I can't wait to go back!“
“Super fast - 10 minutes from sitting down to polishing off these delicious avocado and cucumber rolls! Absolutely divine, service was excellent. The German opera playing in the background was an unexpected surprise but I enjoyed it all the same. Will definitely be back.“
“Food here are amazing!! All the sushi rolls and udon we had were outstanding! Highly recommend fried oysters appetizer! Hiyashi Wakame seaweed salad was great too. Service was great, friendly staff and they have a really nice atmosphere. I'm excited to go again with our friends this week. This place is not an average sushi restaurant. If you want good quality sushi, I highly recommend!“
“An Elevated Experience at Ascend RestaurantAscend Restaurant is not just an upscale dining destination; it’s a venue with the most stunning view in the area. Celebrating my wife’s birthday here was made extraordinary by the impeccable service of Brian and Carlos. Their recommendations and attentiveness added a personal touch to our evening.The cuisine was exceptional, each dish a testament to the culinary artistry of the chefs. But it was the warmth and professionalism of our hosts that truly set Ascend apart, ensuring our special occasion was as beautiful as the view.Thank you, Ascend, for an evening we’ll always treasure.“
“Amazing drinks and selection. The tempera'd brie was soft on the tempura and melty, a refreshing take on wonderful cheese. We had one of the Seattle Cocktail Week options, Paper Wings, which was citrusy and bright without being acidic or bitter, but very well balanced.“
“A true five star place. Had the spicy miso ramen, so much flavor and such high quality for 20 bucks in an age when jack in the box costs 16, will definitely be back!Wheelchair accessibility: All one room with no steps and there is a bar where wheelchairs could be placed allowing you to sit alongside friends“
“I love Musashi's. Delicious food, decent serving sizes for the price (especially the onigiri), quick service, and complimentary tea at each table! I can always find a spot to sit. My one complaint is that the seating is not very comfortable.I've also ordered takeout from them using DoorDash and everything comes just as I ordered it and very quickly, too!“
“We liked this place overall. The sushi was pretty good quality, we got 6 rolls. Our favorite was the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. They did mess up and give us a vegetable roll instead of a California roll but they gave us the right roll for free. The place is a bit small and cramped but for the price and quality of sushi it is definitely worth it!“
“I had a great Bento box here today. Took me forever to decide what to eat. Their menu is huge for me! I'll be back soon so I can try something else. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because I lived in Japan for many years. Nothing compares to the food in Japan! But it sure was nice finding this restaurant today. I'll definitely be coming back!“
“I'm new to the Renton area still exploring great Asian cuisine in the area. This is by far the best Japanese restaurant I have been to. The family is so nice, the food, atmosphere, and feng shui to this place is comfortable and cozy. If you need to destress during lunch or dinner in Renton, go to them! You also get to learn more Japanese words and they encourage you to communicate in Japanese with them (on the menu there is a list of common phrases). They are a small and wonderful operation. The woman at the front who hosts/serves/cooks not only does it all but she does so quickly. I love them, I will see them again with friends soon!“
“We wanted to get some lunch and bento box sounded like a great idea. After searching around Bellevue and Redmond area, we decided to try here. Honestly, we were debating between Joy box and here, and tempura on this menu convinced us. We ordered two bento boxes: 1) spicy teriyaki chicken and tempura combo A; 2) spicy beef teriyaki and tempura combo A (vegetable and shrimp tempuras). The chicken was great, but the beef was not spicy at all. We loved the tempuras, so light, crispy and tasty! Highly recommend it. We came around 12:30pm on a Saturday and the place was not busy at all, only a couple of tables were occupied. We will order take out from here again for sure. Love their tempuras. Maybe next time, we will try their rolls.“
“Sushi chef made polite conversation and the servers checked in on me often in a friendly polite manner.At first I hesitated to get the rice with my chirashi bowl. But so glad I did, it was just as delicious as all of the raw plump fishes. Sooo yummy and delicious.“
