    Came here recently with my husband for lunch and got the poke bowls. Very good lunch deals and fresh tasting poke with a good amount of toppings! The space was quiet and clean with great service. I would come back and have poke again or try their other menu items!

    Niku Udon Soup

    Came here on a Saturday with my mom and ordered the niku udon for me and the kitsune udon for her. We also shared a croquette. The girl at the front was super sweet and there was no one else in the store, which was a little surprising since we were there around peak dinner time (~7pm). No complaints about the niku udon--plenty of meat and pretty good soft boiled egg. I like my broth a little sweet and this hit the spot. I tried some of the kitsune udon tofu skin and that also had great flavor and texture! The only other udon I've had here was u:don in the u district and I preferred Beyond the Bowl. The croquette was also yummy.

    Poke Bowl with salmon, tuna, albacore

    Parallel parking in busy street.. Great atmosphere, order through iPad to select dish, sauce and toppings. Very efficient. They have a selection of different sauces you get to choose of about 7. Poke bowl with 3 meats: salmon, tuna, albacore. Great taste, not fishy tasting, very fresh and clean. Not a lot of meat given compared to other places, however. Overall experience, 9/10 due to the ordering style, freshly made, freshly taste, different variety of toppings and sauces.

    I can't believe I just found out about this place! LOCATION & PARKING // This place is HIDDEN. If you were driving past it, you'd have to look super hard and be careful not to blink to avoid missing it. It's hidden between some businesses and the signage isn't great. The restaurant itself is cozy and mid-sized. It is street parking but you're very likely to find parking somewhere along LCW without having to walk super far. FOOD // BEYOND THE BOWL POKE: Salmon, Tuna, and Yellowtail, masago, crab salad, seaweed salad, cucumbers, topped with tempura flakes, sesame seeds, and nori. Served with house shoyu sauce - This was really good! Everything tasted fresh and the combination of ingredients worked well together. There was a variety of textures with the fish, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, etc. I personally added some extra rice seasoning but that's my own preference. If you don't want one of their pre-set bowls, you can customize your own as well! SERVICE // I ordered in-person but got it as take-out. In general, the staff here were friendly and helpful. Nothing to complain about here! OVERALL // 4.5 stars Quite a nice place to have here on the north end of Seattle!

    Food was amazing!!! They try hard to provide good service, but it seemed like they're understaffed. Nevertheless, service was good! We arrived just after they're open for business, so it started with a few people. But over the time, it got busier. With that many people, it was still nice and not noisy! A joint in your neighborhood that you would frequently visit. Will definitely be back for more!

    We were in the area, and saw the good reviews on yelp so decided to try this place. I ordered the Beyond poke bowl, which has a mix of sashimi over rice, it has tempura pieces which gives it a nice texture and crunch. First few bites was pretty good, but as I ate more it kind of hurt my jaw, maybe my teeth is getting weak, who knows, haha. My husband tried their lunch special poke, it was decent. Bowl isn't the biggest on both, a decent amount. Probably won't fill you if you're a big eater. We also ordered the veggie croquettes and chicken wings, which I enjoyed more than the poke bowl. The wings were quite flavorful and packed with tons of garlic. The main con was it took a long time for the food to come out. We were the first ones there and first to order but it took a good 15 minutes or so before we even got our appetizers. But overall, service and food is good.

    This place was so delicious! I particularly recommend the Donburi sukiyaki. My friend who recommended the place almost always gets the Waikiki bowl. Everyone in the group loved their food.

    It's the shrimp raw or cooked?

    Hi there, the shrimp is cooked and preseasoned as well.

    Are they open at 11:30 am or 12 pm on Sundays? Yelp and Google say 11:30 but their website says 12 noon.

    Hi Pauline, thank you for your question. We need to update our website because it contains old information. For summer hours, we open 11:30-9 for Sunday but the operation hours may change as fall and winter comes. Thank you again!

    What's your policy on sustainability for your seafood?

    None really , they don't have any special consideration

    Is the korokke vegetarian?

    Yes, Korokke is deep fried potato with carrot and green peas inside :)

    Is there any vegan items on the menu? I'm thinking of trying this place out with friends, and wanted to check if we can eat here.

    Thanks for your question. Yes, we do have vegan options! Our tofu is vegan and veggie options for the bowl is plenty from avocado to edamame, corn, etc. all the sauces are vegan and some are also gluten free!… Read more

The chef was friendly and explains each piece. I liked this place because it was sushi omakase (other places are more kaiseki style). Fishes were fresh and flavorful. (Although some pieces it was a little too salty with the sauce) My favorite was otoro, uni, geoduck, abalone. I would come back here again!

Sushi Koushi is a tiny spot tucked inside the mall -- the place was pretty clean, nothing too fancy about it. We ordered Green Tea, Unagi Nigiri, Jalapeño Bombs, Dragon Roll, and the Koushi Roll. Let me start by saying -- everything we ordered was pretty amazing! A note: We are a pretty hard family to please when it comes to sushi. So far, we've only had one go-to sushi place for the past five years. This one? Even my daughter loved it. The flavors were beautifully balanced -- nothing was too overpowering. The quantity was more than sufficient for a family of three. Usually at other places, we end up ordering one more roll, but not here! I especially loved the Koushi Roll, which had seared salmon -- absolutely delicious. For the Jalapeño Bombs, we requested they replace the tuna with crab, and it was perfect for our taste buds. Needless to say, my daughter finished most of them! The service was really quick -- we were in and out within 40 minutes, which is impressive for the amount of food we ordered. Overall, a really nice and pleasant experience. Super glad we tried this one out -- highly recommend!

They are nice, friendly, and very efficient at their work. All of them, not just the servers but busers, janitor, cooks, everyone. The owner and managers must be very good at selecting the right staff and training them well. As an example, when I pulled out my credit card to pay, a server was there in literally 3 seconds to present me the bill. The restaurant is very cozy and not too loud.

I've tried the premium cuts like iberico and kurobuta, but honestly didn't find a huge difference in taste. What stands out is the texture--super crispy coating with juicy, tender pork inside. The sides and condiments are well thought out too. I'm a big fan of the tomato & cheese add-on. The curry add on, on the other hand, was too overpowering in flavor and masked the pork's natural flavor. Definitely a Seattle staple and worth checking out if you enjoy pork cutlet!

You can literally see the quality at the sushi bar, with beautifully cut fish displayed right in front of you. It immediately builds trust and anticipation. I ordered a mix of items, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. The crispy rolls we had were perfectly balanced, with a light crunch on the outside and very fresh, flavorful fish on top. The textures were just right, not greasy, not heavy, just clean and satisfying. The crab tempura roll was also excellent, with a nice crispiness and generous portions. One of my favorite parts was how vibrant everything looked. The colors, the plating, the little details like the garnish and sauce all showed care and attention. It did not feel like standard sushi you can get anywhere, it felt curated. The menu itself is also really interesting. There are classic options, but also more elevated dishes like uni, toro selections, and specialty items that make the experience feel a bit more premium without being intimidating. You can go simple or explore more refined flavors depending on your mood. Service was smooth and pleasant. Nothing felt rushed, and everything came at a good pace. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, this is definitely a spot I would come back to. It hits that perfect balance between quality, atmosphere, and price.
