Aburi Bento
Kim D.

This is the cutest sushi gem right by Pike Place Market! Love how they have a nice blend of traditional and fusion sushi with unique bento and box plating. Aburi Nigiri is one of their specialty entrées that we ordered, which came with beautiful compartment wooden bamboo boxes holding 9pc of seared and fresh nigiri - presenting such unique plating style. Aburi Bento was the other dish we ordered which came with 4pc seared nigiri + 3pc salmon oshizushi, 2pc shrimp shumai and tofu. Both dishes came with a complimentary miso soup and house salad! All the fish and ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. The vibes here is cute & perfect for a first date or meet up with friends. The staff are very friendly and attentive!

(Overall: A) - Overall, the staff were quite accomodating and the service was pleasant. Their menu has lots of interesting and aesthetic items, so I'm honestly not sure why they don't have more business. They even have an AYCE on the weekdays that I'd definitely want to check back next time I'm in town. (Salmon Poke Bowl: A) - Their salmon poke bowl looks quite nice and was surprisingly filling. It had a fresh blend of vibrant flavors coming from the cucumber, salad, corn, daikon, crab, tomato, salmon, and seaweed salad mixed together on top a bed of rice and a heavy sweet soy. (Yuzu Tea: F) - To be fair, I wasn't sure what I was expecting with this, but it ended up being a yuzu syrup mixed in water, which is not great as normally people mix this at home with some tea for an easy hot honey lemon tea, but $6 for this was not it. -- Food: E Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: +1 Service: +1 Menu: +2 Overall: +4 A Insta/Beli: @amei_eats

Aburi Nigiri Box
Philip P.

Came here for lunch during the work day and it was fairly empty. The restaurant looked new still with a good amount of tables and seats for the size that it was. It felt pretty spacious too. I got the Aburi Bento Box and surprisingly, only 1 of the 9 nigiris were torched. When I go to a places named Aburiya, I would think majority of the sushi would be seared in some manner. I was very shocked to see that was not the case. But I was fine with it because it's hard for me to discriminate sushi. I did enjoy the pieces that I had and honestly could not remember what was what despite the waiter telling me what each piece were. Thats on me. The presentation was what attracted me the most. It's very much photogenic and would impress any one I would think. Price for it all was very much on the higher end of what I would've liked to paid, but it's what I get for wanting to try this restaurant out. For me, this place is okay in my book. It's good and pretty, but is overpriced. The only real issue I have is that the name of the restaurant did not reflect what was sold. If a place is named Aburiya which means flame seared store in Japanese, I'm going to expect to be sold seared fish. I got the Aburi nigiri box so I expect every piece to be seared. It's in the name, so that's what I should get, right? I'm. It bashing on the food, it's fine honestly. I'm just going to directly order seared stuff next time.

Nigiri Bento Lunch Special
Andy M.

Some friends and I went here for lunch during our visit to Seattle. There was a bit of a mix up with the order as I wanted the Aburi Nigiri Bento and was served just the Nigiri Bento. A little disappointed as I really wanted to try the Aburi Nigiri Bento but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe I misspoke since the names are so similar. The Nigiri Bento itself was a little underwhelming. The nigiri were definitely my favorite but nothing special, especially wishing there was more fish like tuna and yellowtail (instead of the tomago and shrimp). The Seattle roll is essentially a Philly roll, so I found the name change interesting. I wish there was an option to substitute it with spicy tuna or something else. Salad and tofu were solid, but the shumai was strange. It was more like a uniform dough ball rather than the traditional meat with wonton wrapper. The Toro with uni was nice but doesn't compare to the quality of the same fish but at other sushi spots. Overall nothing was terrible but I left a little underwhelmed and would probably choose another option out of the plethora of sushi places in Seattle.

Salmon tataki - IG @bougiefoodieboi
Kyle W.

Drawn by the aesthetic 9 pc nigiri box from many months back, I finally got to try this place because of the appeal of value from Seattle restaurant week special. For $35 during lunch, I got salmon tataki, 9 pc nigiri box (which is almost $35 normally), and caramelized banana for dessert. The salmon tataki starter was fairly good - it was fresh and served along a soy sauce that is fairly tangy. Everything went downhill after. The 9 pc nigiri box has a combination of fresh and seared nigiri, each of which are fairly large so 9 pcs of nigiri is actually a satisfying meal. This time, they served sea bream, yellowtail, seared escolar, shrimp, tamago, tuna, shrimp, amberjack, and albacore, from left to right top to bottom of the 3x3 box. It is not just plain nigiri - for example, they topped the tuna with rosemary and the yellowtail with jalapeño. My favorite was the seared escolar as it had a nice smoky flavor. The rice was not too cooked so it felt a bit hard and so easy to fall apart. The dessert was fairly decent. My friend happened to come after so we sat next to each other at the bar and he got a different dessert, the green tea mochi ice cream. The caramelized banana is slightly buttery and not too sweet, and I personally preferred that dessert over the mochi ice cream, as the mochi ice cream is just taken out of the freezer so it wasn't all that special. What docked another star was how excruciatingly slow service is. I personally do not mind normally as I can just talk to friends, but first, it is lunch, so it is supposed to be quick as the restaurant is not busy at all, and second, they force you to pay 18% gratuity for SRW menu, so they can just get away with poor service yet you cannot really do much else. That is not okay - if you are mandating gratuity, at least show to customers that they deserve it. Our lunch lasted almost 2 hours, but the amount of food served can easily be consumed for a fraction of that time, even if the food must be made to order (which I prefer nonetheless).

9pc Nigiri Bento
Linda W.

I went here with a friend and got their 9c Nigiri Bento! Service was fast and we were seated quickly. The place was also clean. The fish was fresh but the rice felt kind of dry. Overall it wasn't amazing but it was good. The presentation of the bento box was beautiful!

Seattle restaurant week Nigiri Bento
Stephanie C.

From the food presentation and price, I expected much more from this place and I'm glad I did not end up booking this place for my special events. I was a bit decieved upon walking into the resturant that looked like a standard modern sushi place, though I find their variety of window, bar, and table seating very comfortable. The salmon quality is fantastic - but can you find bad salmon in Seattle? - everything else was basic. Nothing stood out to me in their standard jewel box set. I'm sure they have much high quality fish that doesn't come in their set meals. The way they stick an imitation crab stick and tamago in a nigiri set felt ripped off. Overall, the vibes was like... a tourist trap? Also, automatic 18% gratuity for a small party is not enticing. I would love to give it another try, as the staffs are extremely welcoming and professional, and there are a lot of options on their menu. AYCE for $65 runs from Nov - Jan and I'd like to see where there will go with this.

Aburi Nigiri Box
Diana C.

The boxes are really cute and high quality, though admittedly not a ton of food. We felt everything we ordered was tasty. I enjoyed my sushi rolls. Their drink selection is a bit limited with respect to bottled beer only and cocktails, but if you like sake, they have a whole sake menu and several flight options. The service was highly attentive and timely. I'd definitely recommend. The only down side is that there's virtually nothing for vegetarians here (I'm pescatarian so I had many choices).

Tekka Maki Roll
Alysha W.

This was such a cute little spot in Seattle. We were saying the night before leaving on a cruise and this was within walking distance of our hotel so we decided to try it out. We went for lunch so we both go a two roll lunch special. I got a cucumber avocado roll and avocado maki and my mom got a spicy Tuna roll and tuna maki. We both really enjoyed our lunch. We also got hot tea which came in single glasses with a tea bag but you could just ask for more hot water. The waiter was nice and we enjoyed the experience. My mom said the sushi was good quality tuna but the best we've ever had was in California.

Beware of the inflated reviews! They offer big discounts / free food during dinner if you write a review. I got the sashimi bento lunch special which came out to $30 after tax and tip. The fish was not flavorful. I saw the shumai get prepped from frozen too and sitting at the bar, I even saw some of the fish come pre-sliced lol. The staff were very nice but I would not come back :(

Box Tekka & Sake Box
Celeste N.

The fish quality here is amazing. When I came into the restaurant we were seated immediately and the waitress was so kind to help us figure out our order. I ended up getting the box and it was really good especially for the price. After eating this ALL, I was super fully. The fish was thick cut and super tender, like butter. We also got the carpaccio which was good, but not the best I've had.

Ambiance: a very Japanese/modern vibe at this restaurant. Service: Per usual. Greeted with friendly smile and was inviting. Good: the sashimi quality was quite good here! I especially enjoyed the salmon and unagi! I got the 16 piece sashimi bento box and a feel special sashimi. Presentation was wonderful. Definitely a must return for their daily specials!

Nigiri Bento
Ed D.

I wanted sushi and this was one of the closest places to my hotel. It didn't disappoint. I got there and there was no customers which is totally fine by me. I asked what most people ordered and the waiter mentioned the nine piece bento box. I ordered that and it came with miso soup and salad. There were nine different types of nigiri and they were all really fresh and tasty. The salad had a sweeter tangy sauce. I needed the miso soup since it was pretty cold outside. The decor of the restaurant is modern. The waiter was nice. The price of the box was about $36 so not bad. All in all a good meal.

If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!
