Found this place on a whim and we very happy with our selection. If you are looking for Katsu, the…read morepossibilities are endless here. We went with the traditional Katsu. It was light and fluffy and full of flavor. It came with a traditional cabbage salad which was very refreshing. The udon curry was right up my wife's alley, and I do like curry but I'm not the biggest udon noodle fan. It still was very full of flavor and delicious. Side note, the dressing or sauce that was in the table was let me say to die for. We put it on everything. If I had it on hand all the time it would probably be a condiment that I used on a very regular basis. The service was top notch and our server was very sweet and patient. We took awhile to look over the whole menu and there are so many things that I would come back for just to try. The only let down was the edamame as it is a staple that we usually order at any restaurant when available. They were very hot and cold and felt like it was a frozen edamame that was nuked in the microwave. The establishment itself was very modern looking with a very clean vibe. We will definitely be back. This is definitely a spot in lynnwood that needs more love from people. Then again, it could be packed all the time, but we were there very early on Mother's Day.

I'm a regular customer here, so I evidently enjoy the experience enough to keep coming back, but I…read morealso have some pretty strong criticisms. I hope management will read this and be convinced to make some changes. The service is okay; the only issue is that sometimes it takes a while to get someone's attention to check out, even if you press the "call waitstaff" button on the menu webpage. The atmosphere is fine, though it's a pretty small dining space so it can feel a bit claustrophobic and get quite loud during its busiest hours. My main criticisms relate to the food itself: for one, the tuna is astoundingly horrible. It's hard to describe, but it looks and tastes practically artificial; it's flavorless and somehow... dry? The white tuna option is better, but still not what I would call good. I'm not entirely convinced that it isn't actually escolar (butterfish), which is often misrepresented as being white tuna. It's disappointing that both of the tuna options are so bad, especially since those are usually my favorites. Another issue is that when you order simple sushi rolls, like just tuna/salmon rolls or the ones with avocado, they often stick a gigantic piece of the fish in them, which makes them disproportionally large and difficult to eat multiple of. I assume that's by design, since they want you to fill up faster to save money, but it really detracts from the experience. Some of the fried rolls are also made way too big and are just obnoxious to consume, so I don't order them anymore. My last main complaint is that there's really just not a lot of variety when it comes to nigiri/sashimi. Since both of the tuna options suck, that limits the options even further. I haven't seen any yellowtail options (even for rolls) in a while. If they expanded the selections more and started using better quality tuna (at least for the nigiri), I would select the gold dinner menu much more frequently. Also, please put nigiri on the gold lunch menu. PS: That bbq pork stuff in the buffet is amazing, please don't get rid of it.

We were craving some something warm and since this one was the closest in the area and one of the only places that has ramen, we decided to give it a try. We ordered the Red Volcano Tonkotsu And Tonkotsu Ramen. The ramen noodle itself was good and chewy. Egg was perfectly cooked with yolk on the inside and well marinated on the outside. We thought the broth was okay, it needed more flavor and it didn't really taste like authentic Japanese ramen to us. The red volcano was very very spicy, I do not recommend if you cannot handle spice, I really thought it was just a kick of spice before ordering but it was actually very spicy that it was almost impossible to enjoy the broth. The regular tonkotsu was lighter in flavor. Both ramen dishes had this pickled vegetable and bok choy in there which is not like traditional Japanese ramen but we didn't mind the extra crunch. I wouldn't get the ramen again but I'm open to trying their sushi if I ever go again.

Good spot, large dining room so you don't feel cramped, service was great. A few parties that came after us were familiar with the servers and it was nice to see the restaurant had returning customers or had some sort of community.

The wooden partitions and traditional Japanese design elements create a cozy space that is both elegant and relaxed. It is the kind of place where you can take your time and actually enjoy the experience, not just the food. What really stood out to me was the freshness and presentation. 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. Whether you are going for a casual sushi night or something a bit more special, Kazoku delivers. Highly recommend. I felt like I was in Japan. I miss Japan .

The blue fin tuna was disappointing. It was 5 pieces that looked pretty at first but when you dig into it , I figured that the sushi chef put small pieces together to form a piece. It turned me off. It was nothing great after all. Disappointed! We normally enjoy this place but now I feel I'm not sure of this place anymore. Service was ok. Not sure if I will be back.

Returning dishes was made fun by a little "trap" door that you slide your empty dishes into. Kids had fun feeding the plates into the chute. If you sign up for it, you can get a little charm after so many plates returned. We left with a cute fridge magnet and a pin. The robot that delivers drinks was novel and another point of interest. lol It can get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but thankfully, the turnover is pretty quick too. The only downside is that it can be somewhat pricey. I believe each plate was around $4.50 or so. It's fine for more "elevated" dishes, but the California was also the same price for example, with only 4 pieces to a plate.. For our family of four, it came out to about $200 when it was all said and done. Overall, we would visit again for a quick sushi fix!

The worst sushi I've had in Seattle by far…read more The rice didn't taste seasoned to me. All of the nigiri tastes like there is a thin layer of oil on it. The knife work on the fish is replacement level and leads to bad cuts being served. The rolls that have mayo in it have way more mayo than is palettable. On my fourth and final visit I found a hair sticking out from one of my pieces of nigiri. I ordered a replacement and the next piece of nigiri that came out had something in the flesh that should have never been sent out, so I sent that back too and asked for my check immediately. The service is low-effort even for a revolving sushi place. Also the waiting area being outside only just feels disrespectful and detracts from the atmosphere/experience.
