Consistently good food. Convenient spot in Admiral Junction. This is our go-to in close to home. Only critiques are: Sometimes service by the older gal(s) is not outstanding but Small, close quarters means no private conversations and sometimes seated too close to other diners. read more

Great place if you're feeling a special roll! Located in the middle of West Seattle, this is my go-to when I'm craving sushi and don't feel like crossing the bridge. There is free parking on the street and a few spots in the back of the building. My very good friend took me here on a whim because we were craving sushi one night, but didn't want to leave the area. The service is good, nothing over the top, but nothing that anyone should complain about. It has a intimate feel like the restaurants you would find in Japan, but individual tables. It's great for parties that are less than 4. For appetizers, I always get the seaweed salad, edamame, and karage, cant go wrong with these, they're hard to get wrong and will pop out pretty quickly. All delicious! For rolls, keep in mind that the specialty rolls are larger than your average. I recently tried the West Seattle Roll, mainly for the fact that we are in West Seattle and I was curious. It was good, very filling, I could only finish 4-5 pieces. Another roll, I would recommend is the spider roll, it's just what you would expect, but a larger than other places I've been to in the past. Overall, highly recommend, I would say call in ahead of time to see how busy it is because the limited seating, but well worth the wait and price. Kanpai! read more

My wife and I had a great date night here. I often find myself still hungry after sushi spots. And when you're spending $60-$100 +, you would hope to be full! Didn't have that problem here! The rolls are on the bigger side, fish is great quality, the sauces are on point, and we left beyond satisfied. The place itself is small though so on a busy weekend night, expect some wait time standing huddled around the servers because they don't really have a "waiting area" lol. Part of the experience I guess but I love this place read more

Small sushi spot. We tried the lobster roll and it came out with a fun tower! I would not recommend the Calamari though. Atmosphere is small and family oriented. Our rolls were pretty good, nothing crazy amazing though, especially for Seattle. read more

The VEGAN sushi here Fuxxs extra hard! 10 outta 10 chopsticks! Strange sweet wasabi sauce was absolutely fire like horsey sauce from arby's with msg. Made me almost cry it was so good!!! Bonus was the tomato based "spicey tuna" Might be the best vegan bite in all of west seattle read more

This is my second visit - it has been fresh and delicious both times. The inside is small and intimate. It is clean and the service is great! Last time the street parking proved to be difficult, this visit I found a spot just a few doors down. read more

Good sushi, nothing incredible. I've only gotten take out so no comments on ambiance.

A very delicious sushi shop located in west Seattle on California avenue. They had a variety of classics, sashimi, special rolls and even vegan rolls. We ordered some yellowtail sashimi, spicy tuna roll, vegan red roll and the ultra albacore roll. Everything was fresh and they provided us with lots of ginger and wasabi (which was requested when we ordered). The special rolls and vegan rolls were a bit pricey but worth it! Apparently it is also woman owned! read more

This small, local sushi restaurant is located in West Seattle (California x Admiral Way). There is a small, shared parking lot in the back of the restaurant. You are also able to enter through the back door from the parking lot to get inside of the restaurant instead of walking around to the front. It was a bit awkward doing that, but it seemed normal to have customers do that. Our group was a group of three and we were seated right away. I ordered the Sushi Omaskase Plate, which is served with a salad and miso soup. This comes with chef's choice of eight pieces of nigiri. Not the traditional way of how omaskase is done, but it was still a good presentation. I also ordered the Seared Salmon roll. I was surprised how full I got off of these two items. We also ordered two appetizers to share between the group, Oyster Tempura and Takoyaki. The Oyster Tempura was okay, not what I expected, but it was good. The Takoyaki was pretty standard. Pretty solid spot with fresh fish in West Seattle, which is convenient if you are in the area and don't want to go to the heart of Seattle! read more

Best sushi in West Seattle. Big portions, nirigi and the rolls were executed well, and all for a very reasonable price. - their Chu toro was excellent. Loved their seared sake. Melts in your mouth and super flavorful. The place is cozy but small- so there is often a line. But it is worth the wait. Favorite: Irashai roll Uni nigiri Sushi omakase. read more

The sushi was good and at a good price. The location is a bit small but service was unbelievably fast. Went there with my mom and she loved it so I guess that's an auto 5 stars! Rolls are big and the fish on the nigiri will surprise you. Get the jaw muscles ready! Will definitely go again and see if my opinion stands read more

This sushi spot has been my husband and I's favorite sushi spot for years, and everyone we have taken has LOVED it as well! We always receive great customer service from the hosts and servers, and the sushi is consistently amazing. I love the intimate setting and ambiance of this restaurant. It has beautiful Japanese art and a gorgeous chandelier! It's THE BEST SUSHI!!! Some of our favorites to order are the baked lobster roll (that's the one on the descending display), kiss of fire (the one with jalapeños), the Tiger roll, the west Seattle, and the Scallop Fantasia. This place will not disappoint you! Just make sure to check their open times and days before you go, because it's not open 7 days a week. read more

When you walk in, you could imagine you are in Japan, I love the inside decor with lanterns and faux cherry blossoms. The sushi was amazing as well. Must try the lobster roll! read more

I absolutely love it here, and I won't go anywhere else for sushi. The salmon toro is amazing, Annie is a delight and Chef Koo is my favorite. I feel like part of the family here! read more

As good as the rolls look and tasted, the rolls made my partner and myself stomach hurt afterwards unfortunately probably won't be visiting again read more

This was a local sushi restaurant that was nearby when I was visiting the West Seattle area and I decided to try out some of their advertised sets (highlighted in pictures on their menu). I enjoyed the sashimi set the most as the fish was incredibly fresh and tender. The service was quick, fast, and the waitress was incredibly kind as she helped us get all of our food. The restaurant itself was quiet, clean, and it seemed like a place where many small groups or people on dates tend to go. I'd come back here again for the sashimi set and for the sushi set. read more

Korean owned sushi restaurant. The "spicy" hand rolls are oddly sugar-sweet, not much of a fan. While the presentation of the food is absolutely lovely, the quality of both the sushi/sashimi and cooked dishes offered was very mid. Service could use a jump, the dismissive server ended up putting a damper on the dine-in experience. The decor is a crude mix- Korean flags with Japanese decor like sakura blossom, geisha dolls, and booth lanterns- aaaand a random Christmas tree. Unsanitary practices: they reuse the temporary hand roll "holders" instead of tossing and using new ones for different orders. Overall, a disappointing experience very very mediocre sushi. I hope that they change things up for the better! read more

Mediocre at best I'll start off by saying I did DoorDash, I didn't dine in. But still... I ordered the soft shell crab, which is what I really had my mouth set on, and a 10 piece sashimi omakase with a side of sushi rice... I didn't receive my soft shell crab, so I'm pretty upset about that. And the sashimi, albeit very big pieces, were really lacking. And the sushi rice was made too sweet with too much rice vinegar so it overpowered the sashimi with every bite. At least it added a bit of flavor to the otherwise lacking fish. But it just wasn't that great. Can't speak on service obviously, but a 3 star rating based solely on food I think is fair read more

YAY for their vegan menu options! We had the tempura udon, tempura roll, and yakisoba (miso soup included, not pictured). All yummy. Restaurant seating is somewhat limited so be prepared to stroll California Ave while you wait. This place is popular. read more

This is a hole in the wall spot. It is a small restaurant on the strip. There is only street parking available but definitely can find parking on the street or in the neighborhood. Food, it was great. We ordered 3 rolls ans all 3 was amazing!! Will definitely be coming back! The service was pretty good as well. read more

Any small restaurant that's busy but doesn't take reservations just doesn't care about your time.

Favorite place for sushi in Seattle! Brought my picky mom here and let's just say she now recommends it to others as well ;) limited seating and limited parking but I always do takeout so not much of a worry for me. read more

horrible service, ordered takeout and the order wasn't ready for an hour longer than they initially told us. When we kept asking them for a time they would say "only ten more minutes" and then it was another 40 beyond that. read more

Great food and quick service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good Asian food in the area.

The mouthfeel of the fried vegan California roll is incredible and the vegan dragon roll with the eggplant based unagi is just incredible! read more

My wife and I recently moved to the North Admiral neighborhood and finally tried Irashai Sushi last night. It was great. The sushi was fresh and glistening. The sushi chef threw us an on the house baked salmon with crispy onion on top which was mouthwatering. The servers were engaging, made helpful suggestions and the service was fast. The Asahi was icy cold and served with a chilled glass. The bill was reasonable as well. We'll be back often! read more

My first experience with this cafe was very disappointing. I ordered three items for pick-up, but they didn't look anything like the photos on the menu. I waited outside for my order for 30 minutes. There were two empty tables, and I wanted to stay and eat right away, especially since my order was brought out 10 minutes later than expected -- 40 minutes in total. The waitress was not polite and told me I had to sign up for the waitlist before I could sit down to eat. I left upset and hungry. I do not recommend Irashai Sushi. read more

Awesome! This is a great sushi restaurant in Seattle. The food tastes like you're in Japan. I would recommend it!

4 stars for service and cooked items on the menu the raw fish was beautifully presented but just OK.

Service n ambiance was good, but d fried calamari was so little in portion n chewy. I wish they wud bring back their good desserts from two years ago. read more

I tried their sushi today with my friend. She had recommended this spot and I am so glad she did. The sushi and staff were great. It's a cozy little spot and I love the menu options. There's just enough options without the menu being overwhelming. I got the tempura shrimp and the Las Vegas roll without the eel. The roll was a good size and had a lot of filling- they were not skimpy like some places. The batter on the shrimp tempura was light and perfectly crunchy and the sauce added the perfect touch. All of the food is very fresh. The staff was very good at being attentive and making sure we did not need anything else without being a bother to us. I will definitely be returning and recommending Irashai to my friends. read more

First time going here. Pleasant place , nice people. ordered 2 bento box dinners. Unfortunately nothing tasted fresh, very disappointing.

All three times I have tried to go here they have said they are closed before 8:30. They would not take my online order right now and It is 7:30. Their website says they close at 8:30. I would suggest they update their website to reflect the fact their kitchen ALWAYS "closes" at 7:30. read more

I'm no sushi expert and I usually don't like it that much unless it's very fresh or expensive. This place is delicious with every plate served as an art piece. It all tasted very fresh as well.

A friend recommended Irashai in West Seattle and it did not disappoint! Fantastic and FRESH nigiri and sushi rolls. Their take out presentation was gorgeous and their Otoro Nigiri was even embellished with edible gold. Sushi restaurants are typically pricey, and this wasn't an exception, but for the quality and quantity we received it was worth the price. I will definitely go here next time I have a craving for top shelf Japanese cuisine. read more
