    This is my FAVORITE place. I always take people here and crave it but I love the concept of getting as much or as little sushi as you want and getting one piece of many different things. My favorite selection is actually the nigiri near the end of the line (especially the buttery seared salmon). One time, we were lucky enough to come when they had blue fin tuna nigiri that was very good. They always have a small line that moves very quickly and they replenish everything fresh and have such good foot-traffic that I'm never concerned. On the side, they have serve yourself spicy mayo, wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, etc. which makes it very convenient for both dine in and take out. Fast casual and really high quality for what it is. Such a gem.

    Great sushi for an even better price!! My whole tray was $15. The quality is great for the amount you pay, and there is a lot of rolls and nigiri to choose from. There's some seating areas inside and a table outside for when there's better weather. :)

    Such a unique and tasty spot to pick the sushi bites that you want! Grab a box and pay per pound! Plenty of sushi and nigiri options to choose from and some have fresh wasabi! Limited seating outside but easy to take box to-go!

    I'm extremely late to the FOB Sushi train, but it really is so solid. Fish is pretty fresh and the price for sushi is just unbeatable. My partner and I can stuff our faces with a large box here for just over 30 dollars. They are prone to have a line at dinner time and even off hours on the weekend though. Plus, there is no parking in the area so your best bet is to park by the H Mart or by Bellevue Square before walking over. Seating isn't the most plentiful and it's first come first serve where you bus your own items. Haven't been lucky enough to swing by while their miso soup machine was working, but they do offer complementary sauces (spicy mayo, unagi sauce, soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, and plastic gloves for those who prefer eating with their hands. Tip: all the rolls are placed at the front of the selection so make sure you save enough room for the salmon belly nigiri at the very end. Honestly, even though I know the rolls are a bit of a trap, their rolls are pretty tasty still and you really can't go wrong. Really strong 4 stars.

    This was a really fun place to visit with a really cool concept of building your own sushi box! The pricing is actually very fair, especially if you go for the nigiri. The boxes and bags and presentation is really nice as well. There was a wide variety of roll and sushi options. But our only gripe is the quality / flavor of the fish was so-so. There were definitely some misses on some of the pieces we ate.

    I love this concept! Being able to pick which sushi I wanted to try was great. Everything was fresh too and actually really tasty, even the ones I wouldn't normally get. Good service too, they're popular but handle the crowd well. They also kept the presentation nice and clean. It's $15 per pound of sushi for the rolls and nigiri, that's a great deal for the options and fresh selection they offer.

    What a cool concept. I always wanted to go to sushi bar where I could pick different rolls to try rather than risking buying 4-6 rolls of same type and not liking it. Rolls were definitely fresh, affordable and variety was great. Me and my daughter loved it. Will be back when in Seattle again. Service was friendly.

    FOB is da BOMB....woooW......Hype is real, worth the wait. Sushi selection was very eye pleasing and pallet satisfying....Quality was on point. Decent selection of rolls and Inari sushi. Nigiri tasted fresh. Was so good, had to revisit and stock up for our incredibly extensive journey home to the Golden State. -Tamago sushi was even better on the train. -Conclusion: Seattle is lucky to have a sushi spot with this kind of operational procedure. Will definitely be back nee t tome in town.

    This is my favorite affordable sushi place in Seattle! When you go in, you are given tongs, a box, and a large array of options to choose from. For a price point, the normal sized box should amount to $15 if fully filled to the brim. My tip to get your moneys worth is to go for sushi and sashimi where the emphasis is on the fish, not the rice! If you are trying to keep costs low, avoid the tofu skin rice pockets. The rice wrapped in tofu skin weighs a lot and will add up quickly! There is also free toppings for the sushi such as soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger available inside the store. Sometimes the line goes out the door but it always moves very quickly!

    Really cool concept of choosing your individual sushi pieces! Great service and the line moves quick. Great fish quality and generous portion sizes!

    This restaurant is hands down my favorite sushi place ever. I really enjoyed the experience of grabbing the size tray or box you wanted, picking up a pair of tongs, and serving yourself all the pieces of sushi you desire. The quality and freshness of the sushi is amazing and there are so many great options to choose from. I picked up some nigiri, sashimi, and different kinds of rolls to try. The seared salmon belly nigiri and the spicy tuna nigiri might have been my favorites, but I promise everything is delicious. I'm one of those people that can never decide on what I want and when ordering rolls you're stuck with 6-8 pieces of the same thing at a restaurant. However, with this concept of being able to mix and match I was in absolute heaven. Also, for the price of $15.99/lb you get a great price for the perfect amount of sushi. For the two trays in the picture I paid around $40, which is amazing considering the types of sushi I picked out. At a typical sushi restaurant I'll pay at least $40 just for two rolls... Service is quick since it's self-serve, and after picking out your sushi at end of the line you place your tray/box on the scale to weigh your amount of sushi (similar to a froyo spot) and pay with the cashier. To your left there's lots of sauces and utensils to choose from, but seating inside is limited. A lot of people were sitting on the steps outside or taking it to go. Honestly, had I not found a table outside (there's only two) I probably would have eaten standing up anywhere just because of how amazing it looked and how excited I was. Will definitely be visiting again!!

    Love this concept Was here for a few days fo a training and this was in the building You self serve roll and nigiri (further down the assembly line) and you are charged by weight Unfortunately no sashimi options and the fish to rice ratio isn't the best but decent quality and for the price, it's great! My favorites were the salmon, fatty tuna and scallop Yellowtail and surf clam (love both usually) were a bit underwhelming Update: it was so good I went twice! Go at noon because I went at 12:20 and the line was insanely long (luckily it moved pretty quickly)

    Cora F.

    Line moves by quickly. I thought this place had an interesting concept. Sushi by the pound seems like a decent deal! I will say they load each roll/sushi piece up with plenty of topping so the weight adds up quickly. Most of the rolls were delicious but I thought the nigiri was not that good. The fish didn't feel fresh. I highly recommend the lobster roll with the tempura shrimp in it Other drawbacks, because everyone is moving in a line, you have to be quite decisive with your sushi pieces. I didn't like that I had a few seconds to scan through what each sushi piece was. It felt a little pressuring in the way the lined up the queue. Also, limited seating indoors and outdoors. I enjoyed the concept and the Maki rolls. I'd come back next time I'm in town.

    How accessible is this place? I have a group of 6 w/ 1 person using a wheelchair or at least a walker and stairs are tough. Looks like seating is limited (2 top tables). Feasible to request making a 6 top table or is there somewhere nearby to go?

    I would not recommend this spot for your group. There's steps to navigate and I'm sure there's a ramp. Parking can be challenging and seating is counter space only. Have you been to Ti22 which is further north on 4th Ave.?

    Are there any vegetarian options like avocado rolls, veggie rolls, etc?

    It's random.They make their own kind of rolls. It wasn't noticeable if they had vegetarian options.

    Can anyone tell me if they offer rolls such as asparagus rolls, cucumber rolls, or avocado rolls?

    They do not. The rolls here are more like their specialty rolls and nigiri.

    Do you take reservations?

    No, they do not.

    How much is one lb?

    As of June 2024, 14.99 per pound

    What are the hours there? Haven’t been able to find info, was wondering if they were open on weekends too, and how late?

    Sunday-Friday 11AM-8PM, closed on Saturdays

Hit: Garlic short ribs (my partner said these were tender and a good portion for happy hour), Poke sushi roll (good fish quality and taste) Misses: First Ave Roll (sauce was just walloped on top, weak flavors), veggie and shrimp tempura (heavy and soggy batter), pink lychee cooler (artificially sweet with no strong lychee flavor), green tea tiramisu (photo speaks for itself). For all the rave reviews, I was pretty let down. Thankfully, we went during happy hour so we didn't pay full price. I would not visit here again.

Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. 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!

Ambiance was nothing spectacular nor would set it apart from other sushi restaurants. It looked and felt like most sushi restaurants that offer omakase in the area. The service is where our dining experience, surprisingly, fell the most flat. Our waitress was a timid young woman who seemed very overwhelmed, speaking very quietly and quickly which caused us to ask her to repeat herself a few times. She had a script and if she stuck to the script she was fine but if we asked any question she wasn't prepared for, like asking about sake, she locked up. She also didn't appear to be receiving much support either. Questions regarding the sake were funneled through her to someone else who would relay the questions through her. The back and forth was enough I questioned why this person didn't come with our waitress to assist her. The explanations on the omakase dishes were given quietly or not given at all. It was just a bit atypical for omakase style restaurants in the area.

But clearly the deal was too good because they were all out! Compared to other hand roll bars, I like Sugo much more because they serve the rolls open faced, so you can clearly see the quality of everything you're eating, and it looks really nice. Further, these are full size handrolls compared where the ratio of fish dominated the seaweed and rice so that is the primary mouth feel. King Salmon - We topped up with ikura since caviar wasn't available, and the portion size was generous; the ikura adds a delicious salinity and texture profile to balance the naturally sweet salmon. Fresh wasabi gives this piece such a nice bright freshness. Ebi Nuoc Mam - Smaller shrimp seasoned with that classic Vietnamese palette of savory fish sauce that can give the shellfish flavor to hold its own. Tempura Shrimp - This roll gives a classic tempura shrimp roll with all the fix ins from spicy mayo to a sweeter saline glaze. The cucumber adds freshness and the piece eats very well with a balanced serving of rice. Spicy Tuna - Classic spicy tuna handroll with the added pairing of the sweet pickled radish, which gives a bright sweetness to contrast the bold spice coming from the tuna mixture. Kanpachi - Another piece that works brilliantly with ikura; we have that firm white fish powered by the lime, and the saline forward nature of the salmon roe really helps to add another dimension to the amberjack. Torched Eel - Very generous cut of eel that will be sure to satisfy for the final rolls I like the added toppings of cucumber and optional wasabi, which help alleviate some of the richness of that seasoned eel.

The yellowtail had some citrus on it, but it was not too overwhelming. Their salmon's was perfect and topped off with sesame seeds. The service was okay and the place itself was a bit vacant.
