Food was delicious. It is a small place but that made it cozy, comfortable and delightful. Overall 10/10 would recommend, a must visit.

Disappointed! We recently dined there and the sushi chef recommended sea urchin sushi, claiming it was very fresh. When the sea urchin sushi was served, we noticed it had a much darker color than what we had previously eaten, resembling a deep mustard color. We initially attributed this to the winter season, trusting the chef's assurance of freshness. However, upon tasting it, we detected a strong fishy odor, raising doubts about its freshness. When we questioned the chef, he insisted that was how sea urchin tasted. Despite our concerns, we paid for our meal and left a tip, only to later experience vomiting at home. This was an unpleasant dining experience. Businesses should refrain from selling stale sashimi to customers and instead be honest about the quality of their products.

To me, the food in Urara was just average. There weren't any memorable pieces of sushi in the chirashi dish. The presentation was beautiful, but the flavor was mostly bland. Same can be said about California roll.The udon was nice, I liked the broth, and I'd recommend it; but since this was the only dish that I liked, I probably won't be back.

The boss is a very kind Cantonese. The eel rice is delicious. It is close to the harbor. The sashimi is fresh and delicious. It is highly recommended! !

The udon and rolls were amazing. Also the miso was made perfectly. My little kids really liked it! It’s a little bit small place, but cozy. We will be back again :)

Urara had some of the freshest sushi we've ever had. It was delicious. The spicy tuna was not spicy, but tbh everything tasted so good i didn't care. The miso was made perfectly. We also had King Salmon nigiri and it was 10/10. Its a very small place, so i feel like everyone can hear your conversation. We will be back very soon??
They are very kind and very vegetarian friendly!! Food was delicious!

Quite surprised and delighted by the quality and price of sashimi so close to the tourist hub that is Pike Place. Urara has surreal sushi offerings at a great price.Got the chirashi. For those who don't know, imagine a gigantic bowl of sushi rice piled high with pieces of sashimi. The cuts of fish from the chef were gigantic and high quality. The salmon melted in my mouth. The albacore and yellowtail were delightful and lacked the fishy aftertaste you'd find from cheaper cuts.We went at the end of the day before they closed. Thankfully, we had the full attention of the chef and staff.It's not Michelin star grade sushi by any means, but it's close in quality. It's even better in price. If I could come back tomorrow I would. Don't let the other reviews fool you - if you want some absolutely delicious and generous sashimi, this is the place to go.Dietary restrictions: The chef has options for those with shellfish allergies

So far, it was the best food that we had in Seattle. Except for black curly hair is not the best seasoning for a $40 set of sashimi. We got a takeaway and by the time we got to our place, it was dark and we were starving, so we didn't make a fuss about that hair but I hope that the owners will read the reviews and pay attention to such things a bit more in the future.The starters were gluish. The sushi were large, fresh and delicious. They gave us one soup with 4 sets of rolls and a set of sashimi. You can get a 10% discount if you pick your meal up which is nice if you live close by.Overall, I think that it's a decent place with good food. I would recommend it for sushi and sashimi if - hopefully - they will make sure not to season their food with hair.

This place is small but amazing! The soups are 5 star as is the sushi. I love dragon rolls and this is the place with the best dragon roll I’ve
