    Lobster Roll
    Madeline D.

    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.

    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.

    Janice R.

    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!

    Sushi Omakase Plate
    Belldandy O.

    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!

    Irashai rolls
    Nancy Z.

    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.

    Kiss of fire
    Mamie L.

    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.

    Chef selection sushi set - highly recommend!

    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.

The exception was our vegan friend, who had a vegan version of midori, their vegetable omakase. The menu said the omakase would take about two hours, but it ended up taking three hours since there was a lot of waiting between items. The quality of the fish varied--the shrimp was good, but the uni and salmon did not seem as fresh. The cooked dishes were good though, and I appreciated the interesting combinations like pickles + geoduck and ice cream + furikake popcorn. The cooked salmon was nice and soft, just barely cooked through. It was great that this omakase place is vegan-friendly, but unfortunately, my friend was not a fan of most of her food. But we all liked the soup that came before dessert! I actually really enjoyed the black cod miso soup they served; it was very rich in umami. I appreciate that this restaurant uses sustainably-sourced seafood, which contributes to the higher price, but I unfortunately still didn't find the meal to be worth the high price tag, especially given the slow service. The server was nice and filled our water pretty frequently, but the estimate of how long dinner would take was too inaccurate. We were also confused about how we got six pieces of each type of oshizushi (the cube-like sushi) to split among four people

I wouldn't say it's very salty but it is saucy and you need to mix it with the rice properly to balance it out. The portion is generous and it is very filling.

If you're a fan of Red Bowl in Financial District, this place has a similar vibe with its approach to rice bowls. Having been here twice on different weeks, I think this will become one of my go-to places in the area when I'm craving fresh seafood on a weekend south of downtown. LOGISTICS Parking is convenient for Georgetown area, given they have a dedicated lot for customers of businesses in the area. Entering in, you order through the kiosk and if you're dining in, you can seat yourself and they'll bring the order to you. The space is small for larger groups but if you're 4 people or less, generally there are tables available on off peak hours (at least what we observed Sat/Sun). Ordering happens at the kiosk, which you can choose for takeout or to dine in. Keep in mind there are some items available for dine-in only (ex. udon or seared salmon bowls), but if you plan on doing takeout anyways you can order online or call ahead for pickup. Note - they do close at 2:30 pm but re-open at 4:30 pm. So long as you get your order in by 2:30 pm they'll still service you... which was nice since the last two times we came in around 2:00 PM. FOOD First off, they have nice nice presentation both in how the food is arranged and the bowls they use when dining in. From the ceramic/decorative bowls to the trays they use... it's the little things that add to the dining experience and make you think a business cares about its food. (Note: there was one time we had initially ordered togo but decided to eat in person; so they kept the food in plastic bowls for one of my photos.) In every bowl we had during our two visits, the rice was excellent! We've had some terrible rice at other donburi places before where it can be too overcooked or too mushy. Fortunately their seasoned rice was a good texture and tasty to eat on its own. The seafood was also excellent for the price / quality - fresh tasting with a melt-in-your mouth texture. Volcano Bowl: Spicy salmon + spicy crab salad w/ masago - despite the description it wasn't too spicy (siracha mayo) but it went really well with the rice, like a deconstructed sushi roll. I liked mixing in some wasabi to give it a stronger kick. Aburi Sake Bowl (seared salmon bowl): This is only available to order for dine-in; if you love salmon... I would recommend this one. Seared salmon is delicious seafood umami. I liked how the salmon had the right amount of fattiness too. Chirashi Bowl: If you like variety, then this is an excellent bowl to try a little bit of everything. I was amused that they also included unagi (I don't think I see that in most chirashi bowls). Even the shrimp, which is usually my least favorite part of chirashi bowls, tasted good with a slight sweetness. OVERALL Awesome place and a good location for the area given there's parking available. Price was just right for the quality (I'm amused how much cheaper good seafood is here in Seattle compared to the Bay Area) and the staff were really friendly. There are also two excellent bouldering gyms nearby (Castle Climbing Club and Momentum)... so if you're looking to recharge after a climbing session, I would highly recommend coming here!

As a native New Mexican, I have a high spice tolerance, but two of these rolls were "stupid spicy" to the point of being inedible. Having had these exact rolls here before, it was clear the spice level was intentionally altered after I inquired about the long delay. The waitress was pleasant and offered to comp a roll, but the issue isn't the money--it's the lack of professionalism from the chef. Tampering with a customer's food because they asked for an ETA is unacceptable. We will not be returning.

The sushi chefs are well trained and talented. Definitely recommend sampling their selections of sushi. You won't be disappointed. Five stars for this. Now for the grill part. Yakisoba is usually a grill item, as it's a stir-fried noodle dish, with it's distinctive Japanese flavor profile, and ingredients. Unfortunately, this was a miss. Though the soy-sauce coloring was correct, the flavor profile was not. The amount of beef in it was acceptable, but the other components were a miss. The only vegetable component was shaved-like slices of small zucchini which I could count with one hand. That seemed to treated more like a garnish, than a component of the dish. Had the grill-cook finished it with a drizzle of tonkatsu-sauce, it would've been closer to what was suggested on the menu. They should rename it "pan-fried beef-noodles" instead. Sure wasn't Beef Yakisoba. Other than that, table-side service was excellent, and the sushi was first rate. Just not the "yakisoba", cuz it wasn't. I will upgrade and edit this review if a few things are fixed.

I usually go to the Issaquah location, but this time we visited West Seattle. The old space had a cozy charm, while the new one feels much more modern. The happy hour menu has changed a bit, but we still enjoyed a glass of house red, mac & cheese, and a Caesar salad before sharing a 14oz ribeye. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium‑rare, and the bartender was genuinely friendly. Even the house red was better than expected. Issaquah still wins for me but we still had a great night eating, laughing, and catching up. Happy hour runs 4-6pm at the bar only, and our ribeye came with one side for $68. And if you haven't tried their brunch yet, it's surprisingly good.
