Bonzi is response to dining here tonight... Craving some sushi and landed at KAI SUSHI in downtown Everett.... Quaint Little Japanese place with very nice waitstaff helped me on my voyage tonight. Ordered a Tempura Shrimp roll along with beef short rib special. Note the short rib special and was accompanied by soup , salad & rice... Ribs were done perfect tasting and came off the bone with minimal resistance... Look at the video and you'll see what an amazing meal I just had and should be jealous. Anyways I defiantly book marked this joint for another Japanese experience.. Come and GET SOME ! read more

We've now been to this place a couple times. Whenever we are out of a hockey game we try to check out new spots in North Everett. If you're going before a game get there early as this place fills up quick! Servers are nice but could be a bit more attentive. Food is definitely worth the wait. We had quite the variety. All of the sushi rolls are good. I always order the rainbow roll wherever I go, this one is decent but missing something. The sushi in general like I said was good, but also did not stand out to me. The chicken karange was like crispy pillows of chicken, did not need any sort of sauce in my opinion, but to each their own. The kalbi ribs were also cooked perfectly and were downright mouth watering. We also started off with the edamame which was salted well, most places just have it on the top and miss the mark throughout the rest of the dish. We will definitely be back as this has made our rotation before going to Tips games read more

Hidden gem in downtown Everett. Great dinner stop before a hockey game at AOTW Arena....within walking distance so you only park once. Dinner hours get busy, so arrive early. Service is very good especially for two servers. Interior is small with only 8-10 tables. Interesting that pizza place and Mexican restaurant on either side are almost empty on a Friday at 5:00 and Kai is packed! Rolls are freshly made so be patient. Presentation is very basic, but taste is amazing. Don't be fooled by lack of frilly stuff on rolls! The rolls pictured were $14.00 each. Basic rolls start at 8.00 each and custom built rolls are $16.00 to $18.00 each! read more

I didn't except to have such a great experience here! Looks like a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant attached in a strip of stores/restaurants but the food was So good! Service is relatively quick and decent prices for what you get. Definitely a place I'll be going back to and exploring more of the menu. read more

Another Friday night to go oder I haven't ordered from Kai Sushi in a while but remembered their Fried Calamari is good so I had that and a Salmon and Scallops roll. As far as the photo shows there was a little slide by the roll during transportation but that didn't affect the taste at all. The roll has a nice amount of scallops wrapped with rice and salmon slices overall not spicy so I added some wasabi for a hotter bite. The calamari are medium size rings batter fried and served with a spicy dipping sauce which had a nice little kick to it. Overall I will be back in the future they have a decent selection of rolls to choose from and if you dine in the have a nice Saki section also. Lastly the only issue is that finding parking can be a challenge. read more

Decent service. Our drinks were consistently refilled, timely delivery of all needed items and food. Some food was not prepared as requested and the food was just okay. All in all, we will not be returning. read more

So happy to have found this cozy sushi spot in Colby! I eat a lower carb diet, and am obsessed with this crab cucumber wrap! It's so refreshing. They have a great menu to choose from, fast and friendly service and a nice ambiance. read more

It a small sushi place in downtown Everett. No wait for dinner @ 530pm on Tuesday. The nigiri tasted okay - not the best flavor or quality. Nothing special about my salmon roll but it was presented nicely. My water cup had an odd smell, so that bothered me during dinner. But the staff were very attentive and kind. There wasn't anything extraordinary about this place. It did get busy an hour later. There is 90 min parking out front. I wouldn't come here again...I recommend Wild Wasabi in Lynnwood instead. read more

Sushi slightly better than other place nearby but service is horrendous. Restroom no soap or paper towels nor hand air dryer. Waited 25mins to be seated Waited 30mins and got one tako yaki After ordering 4 rolls, we decided to order more and before we can finish the waitress brought out a check before we even asked. Like they're kicking us out even tho we been super nice. She's been giving us bad attitude the whole time, just throwing foods on the table junda attitude When we asked to order more she said it's gonna be 30mins wait with that attitude of not wanting us to stay. World class customer service. And it's our dad birthday. Thanks Karen. Ps: regret tipping 18%. read more

In short These folks have a great menu and sake list. Service is warm and friendly and right on point. And sushi in Everett is a tougher racket all the time. In long There's a whole stretch of places worth checking out just along Colby here. I scored rock-star parking since it was slightly before dinnertime yet yesterday. You roll in to a pleasantly-dim space, walls are dark, lights are low. Booths to the right, banquette seating to the left. I got there just in time to have them pull one table off on its own--they had just cleared a 10-top that took half the banquette tables, and another 10-top was still going strong, talking, laughing, and eating. This place must get mobbed before Tips games. It was pretty crowded yesterday and it was barely 5. They have the usual hot appetizers, and a decent list of a few dozen cuts of fish. Classic rolls, modern rolls too. Basically everything everyone thinks of when they think of covering all the bases at a sushi spot, and that's it--and that's all I need pretty often. I got the Dassai "Otter Festival" sake, which had tons of character. Really nice one. The tako yaki were blazing steaming billowing hot, even after resting a few minutes. Tasty. Easily worth repeats but probably not the #1 version of this dish I've had. I'll say I'd be happy to drive back up there and get it again right now, though. The sashimi omakase was a nice mix of tunas, octopus, salmon, a couple other things, and a dab of uni. Plus plenty of shredded radish and sliced cukes. All good fish, and tasted great. I loved all 3 of the kids who stopped by the table, too. They kept the water full, and everything from the kitchen came out lickety split. They were friendly and warm without taking too long at the table--very charming staff here. I was out the door for under a hundred, after drinking their best sake and eating over a dozen pieces of sashimi. Excellent value. I've been hearing great things about this place for a couple years and it's awesome to have it in the rotation now. read more

My son and I were in town and he was craving sushi. He could eat sushi for every meal. Honestly, we picked Kai Sushi for two reasons...the star rating and my son's name is Kai. So we gave it a go. We weren't disappointed. Fresh sushi and the service was great. Enjoy your visit! read more

We had 3 people, We were waiting over 20 minutes, they could have seated us by putting 2 tables together. Instead they decide to put a 2 people seat in the middle so we couldn't sit at all. Totally horrible wait staff!!!! read more

Had lunch with co-workers. Service was on top of things. Food was great. Salmon sashimi was fresh. Going back for lunch soon.

Generally enjoy eating here even though it's overpriced for portions (you have to go out about 15 minutes for better value) but a recent visit turned me away completely. It was a busy Friday night and I was happy to wait 30+ minutes for a table as conveyed over the phone. But when I arrived I was never acknowledged after waiting for 20 minutes in the doorway. 3 servers at one point were all behind the counter not at tables just standing there, maybe still busy or waiting on food but never acknowledging me. Even a simple nod to acknowledge they saw me and would be with me when they could would've been enough for me to have confidence I should keep waiting. A table became available and I was the only person waiting. I understood they were busy so continued waiting for a sign they were going to signal to me or talk to me. Multiple times they walked past me but never a single greeting or look to acknowledge they saw me and that I should continue waiting or I would be seated next. So after awkwardly waiting and standing in the doorway for 20 minutes (since there's no space to wait without standing awkwardly next to diners), I left and ate elsewhere. Bummer that a simple nod or eye contact would've left me feeling a completely different way. read more

We've been going here for several years and have noticed a decline in service. Tonight, upon seating we were told we were on a timeline to order before last call. We then waited 7-8 minutes for the server to greet us. We ordered all our food at the same time. When it arrived a roll was missing and we informed them. Another representative came out and said the kitchen was closed and they lost the ticket and would not be able to make the order. That order was removed from the bill but nothing else was done to repair the service issue. This was a vegetarian roll and a person at the table did not get to eat. It is disappointing that the restaurant did not do more to accommodate. read more

Amazing dinner family out at Kai Sushi Fusion Started off with potstickers and calamari (my fav) We had Crab cucumber wrap (Super delicious), Monkey brain roll (least fav), Spicy tuna cucumber roll, Kappamaki roll, & Crunch roll! Friendly staff and warm atmosphere!!! read more

Pretty solid sushi joint to visit. Not a whole lot to say. It's a pretty small place in Everett. Staff is okay and the food is alright. The price vs quality of food is a tad off in my opinion. The bathroom is in a relatively odd spot of the restaurant. Overall everything is okay. read more

If you're looking for a sushi spot in Everett, this is it. The specialty rolls are where it's at! Baja roll was my favorite! I would actually recommend the specialty rolls over the sashimi or nigiri. The gyoza were probably some of the best I've ever had and the grilled short ribs were amazing. We licked clean our plates - amazing food, amazing staff! read more

It wasn't bad but also not great. If you have a sushi craving it's alright. Got a deep fried roll (Alaska and it was ok) got the potato croquets those were good and got shrimp tempura, they were okay. read more

Chicken karaage is the best I've ever had locally! Service is always great and quick! Poke bowl was great and fresh and rolls are delicious. Well priced. read more

I was craving some sushi and Kai was on my list, so I stopped in yesterday for lunch and it did NOT disappoint. Just to keep things simple, I ordered their 6-pc nigiri lunch special, which also came with a spicy tuna roll and a steaming hot bowl of miso soup. It was the perfect lunch, and quite the bargain at just $19.99! The sushi was super fresh, and the proportion of rice to fish was perfection. The service was quick and my food came out fast. There weren't many people in there for lunch when I was there, but it looks like they do a huge takeout business. I really liked the ambiance, too - it was dark with soft lighting. Perfect spot for date night! Parking was easy, too, as there was plenty of free 90-minute street parking within steps of the restaurant. I will definitely be back here to satisfy a future sushi craving! Can't wait to try some of their more innovative rolls, too. read more

Please do not waste a dollar at Kai. Why can't downtown Everett get a decent Japanese restaurant. After being disappointed by the quality to price ratio of sushi. I decided to give Beef Sukiyaki a try. I frequently order this at Japanese restaurants and is always the same ingredients, not at Kai, was at best a 12$ grocery store lunch. Do not waste your money! read more

Unfortunately the few times I come here, i'm soooo hungry that I don't take the time for pictures. The rolls are just sooo delicious. One of these days im going to dine in and take my time. My favorites are spicy tuna on crunchy rice, baked salmon roll and Washington roll. Really looking forward to try more! This place is fantastic read more

This is one of two of my favorite sushi places. Sometimes the seaweed salad doesn't always turn out how I like it. But I am always wanting to go there for sushi because I know they have several items I love. read more

Decent sushi at a moderate price. No real crab so it's really difficult to get any of the rolls here if you are gluten free. Staff is kind and attentive but unless you just want nigiri there's not much for someone with a gluten allergy. read more

Hands down the best sushi spot in Everett. Tiny restaurant and very limited seatings, so be prepared to wait. I will say though that they get you in pretty quick. We ordered, apps, beer, and sushi! The service was excellent and our food came out fairly quickly. I was pleased that we didn't have to wait long. The spicy tuna crispy rice was by far my favorite small plate. It was sooo good! The calamari reminded me to burger kings onion rings. They are Panko battered versus tempura battered rings. They were extra crispy served with spicy Mayo. We got the tempura yam roll, California, crunch roll, and spicy tuna tempura. Everything we got was sooo good. I didn't get a lot of fresh fish sushi because I don't on my first attempt at a sushi spot, so I can't review that. But boy was everything so delicious and yummy!!! read more

Came here for lunch today to peruse the lunch special. Lots of good options available to suit a variety of sushi cravings in. I got the chefs choice four piece, with the spicy tuna roll. All of which was served at the correct temperature and was very fresh with good flavors. Miso soup to start, comes with the dish and had a nice mix of tofu, seaweed and a rich miso broth. If you're in the neighborhood and are craving some sushi I would recommend Kai sushi, especially for the lunch specials! read more

This is the second time I came here. The first time it was around 8:48 pm and they told me they were closed. But the schedule says they closed at 9:00 pm. Not a big deal but wanted folks to know so you come at 8:50 and expect to get seated/served. Second time I was here. Sushi is Subpar. The rice was mushier than normal. The shrimp is smaller than Sushi places that are more high end though this place does have a high end pricing. They made a mistake on my order but quickly remedied it. The place is clean. Service was quick but they seem to be in a rush to get you out. read more

Best sushi around always fresh and employees are very nice. And they are always willing to take a specific ingredient out, if not wanted read more

The sushi was amazing and very fresh! Great little place in Everett and we will go back.

Decided to try this Sushi place instead of our go-to. We are not hardcore sushi peeps, more like California roll lightweights. We ordered California, Crunch, and Miami Heat. First impressions are: interior is pretty plain but nice and seems decently clean. Exterior does not look real inviting... lots of papers/notices on windows which haven't been cleaned in a long time. Most importantly, the service was good, fast, and the sushi was fresh and awesome. Very little wasabi included on the plates. :-( prices were reasonable. We will be back. read more

Delicious sushi, good service, and cool vibes. No complaints here! My go to when in town

Best custom rolls I've ever had. This restaurant was packed the whole time I was there - the locals seem to know that this is THE place to get sushi in Everett and within a 30-mile radius. We were seated quickly (arrived by 5:30 mid-week), but there were groups waiting to be seated outside by 6pm. The wait staff was quick and polite. The food came out fast and fresh. Miso soup was good, as was the Pork/Chicken Gyoza. But the rolls.. 10/10. read more
