    Phoenix Roll & Kiriba Roll
    Serena W.

    It was my first time here and decided to check out this place since I was in the area. I ordered the nigiri combination, phoenix roll, kiriba roll, and calamari. Compared to other sushi places, I thought the calamari portion size was small. It wasn't my favorite. I think the nigiri combo was alright. The octopus was too chewy to eat. I think my favorite were the rolls, especially Kiriba roll with seared salmon. It had the perfect seared salmon flavor. I would order the rolls again.

    I loved this quaint and charming spot. We got a couple nigiri combination platters, cucumber and avocado rolls, tempura takoyaki and futomaki. My absolute favorite was the seared salmon toro hand roll. Next time I will come just for their hand rolls!

    Parking is limited and can be a little hard to find, which is why I knocked off a star. Last time I came on the weekend and barely found a parallel parking spot in the dirt down the street. We showed up on a Wednesday night at 6pm with no wait. It didn't get busy until closer to 7pm. Sushi was great! Decent amount of different rolls to choose from. My friend got a 9pc nigiri set and after tax it was only $25 which is really good price! Spicy tuna was really yummy.

    Tako-ebi salad is gross. No seaweed in sight. Lame lettuce and cucumbers are mushy. Seriously, Kiriba?? Go elsewhere. Quality is so disappointing at $12 so not worth it at all. Do better.

    We were craving for some seared salmon and we were at Shoreline Community College for an event. Kiriba was within minutes and we were excited to try a new sushi joint (for us). Great inviting atmosphere with cozy and homey decor, it felt like stepping into a Japanese friend's house. We wanted to sample a variety so we ordered karaage, nigiri, gunkanmak, and a boat of sashimi with a glass of Asahi beer. Their nigiri and gunkan were pretty tasty and gunkanmaki were delicious. I think we are probably going to return for these. Sashimi, however, were borderline terrible. Some of the sashimi pieces were still frozen and we let our server know. I am not sure if this was a fluke but I have never had frozen sashimi before and it was weird. But we did enjoy most of what we ordered and we were happy with our meal.

    Since leaving downtown Seattle and moving to Greenwood, my wife and I were in a hunt to find a new sushi joint. With Kiriba Sushi literally down the street from us, we think we found our new go-to place. This place was on our bookmarks for so long, and it's a shame we didn't check out this place earlier. Two notes: parking is tight, but you can probably find some street parking. Second, probably best to make a reservation if you want to secure a seat. My wife and I ordered: The seared salmon toro roll Chirashi bowl Kiriba roll Pacific roll The seared salmon toro roll was a great appetizer. The roll was stuffed with the salmon goodness, and it was a great starter overall and I would recommend it to begin your meal. The rolls were really good. The winner probably was that Kiriba roll, as the unagi sauce paired with the seared salmon was so good. I was a tiny bit skeptical about the Pacific roll, as I don't recall having calamari ever in a sushi roll, but it actually worked! The smokiness of that salmon, wow. *chef's kiss* The chirashi bowl was also pretty generous, but I would say that this was actually the low-light of our meal. The rice wasn't very flavorful, as I do love the vinegary taste of sushi rice. But the rice served tasted more like normal rice, which was disappointing. Overall, what a surprising, well, surprise. You can easily drive by this place in Greenwood without knowing, but this is definitely a gem and place to check out if you're craving some sushi.

    I was craving sushi and wanted to grab something to go to share with my boyfriend. I found Kiriba Sushi via DoorDash which looked very promising! It's located next to Pagliacci Pizza on N 145th St. My boyfriend was the one who went to pick up the take out order, so no idea how the parking situation and the interior of the place is. But it seemed like he had an easy time grabbing the order! We ordered three rolls, one nigiri order, and one gunkanmaki order which all equaled to about $60 via DoorDash (the prices are probably cheaper through the restaurant themselves). We ordered the Kiriba Roll, Phoenix Roll, Dragon Roll, Hamachi (yellowtail) Nigiri, and Spicy Scallops Gunkanmaki. Our food looked relatively sad LOL. The rolls were tiny compared to what I was used to (peep at pic). But at least they were nicely cut into 8 small pieces! The nigiri and gunkanmaki looked promising! Starting with the nigiri! I was actually very disappointed by it. The fish was not as tender as I hope and had a semi-chewy texture which tasted not so fresh. My boyfriend loves hamachi and enjoyed it but me? Not so much (but more for him!). The gunkanmaki was actually the best thing of out everything. It had a really nice coat of spicy mayo which had a nice subtle kick. The scallops tasted fresh and was delicious! I wished I got another order of this LOL. Now for the rolls! My favorite would be the Kiriba Roll. The salmon and tempura went super well together and had a full amount of flavor. The Dragon Roll did too with all the unagi sauce. I think the unagi sauce spilled over in the container, giving the Kiriba Roll added flavor that complimented everything. The unagi was sweet with the drizzle. The Phoenix roll, on the other hand, wasn't as great as the two. The spicy mayo didn't have much flavor and the entire roll was practically tasteless. But the amount of seafood in it made up for the tastelessness as I had my concoction of soy sauce and wasabi. Loved how there was snow crab on top of it! Overall, not a bad place for sushi especially a little away from the Seattle area. The rolls looked small but luckily, the $60 worth of food had both me and my boyfriend full!

    At first you might not think it's a restaurant, as it looks like someone's house but inside it's a very homie feeling restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and authentic, which made the restaurant feel cozy. Once we ordered, the food came out really quickly. The fish tasted fresh and it was a good price for what I got. The beer even came with a chilled glass? Which always helps make the beer taste more crisp. Parking can be tough here. They only have a handful of stalls on the side, if not, you have to park further in the neighborhood. Overall, I would recommend this place, especially as there are not many Japanese restaurants in the area.

    Sashimi Combination
    Peter K.

    Never had worse sushi. Spicy tuna roll was very fishy, inedible, had to spit it out. The sashimi wasn't even cut through. This rough cut sashimi was just blobs, didn't even cut it. This was disrespectful of the fish. Horrible. Don't even get me started on how you are supposed to park and walk to the restaurant.

    Sea Lover's Salad, akin to a poke bowl without rice
    Sara V.

    The presentation of the sushi was lovely and staff is doing their best with the available (super charming) space and the line of people. The tables are close set, so at any moment you may hear quite a lot of your neighbors conversation- probably not the place for intimate/private conversations. We got the Sea Lovers Salad, Soft shell crab tempura, and a nigiri set. The tempura was good and the sauce had great flavor. The seaweed part of the salad was really good, unfortunately we got a tragic little dead lettuce bug in there. This concerned me about the food preparation. The nigiri was delayed but when it arrived looked gorgeous- hence all the pics lol. (They did give an extra piece after I mentioned the salad visitor). Unfortunately when I took a piece of salmon nigiri to my lips it was rather warmer than expected. I'm extra careful with raw fish and only go for ones that are noticeably cool (which in my mind connotes that it's safe and fresh). My bf didn't mind the temperature but I was already on high alert with the salad bug incident so I left him to it. He told me later that it was fine, but the flavor wasn't anything to write home about. This is a very cute restaurant that's been here for years with nice staff who are doing their best, but the facilities are showing wear/years of hand prints on the door frame etc and I can't really vouch for our food experience the other day. If you're like my bf and don't mind little food service things like this, and you're looking for a cozy, kind of retro/homey experience this would be a nice stop.

    Really good quality for meat for an ayce. Love the marbling of the wagyu…read more Service is great! We did come at an off time so there's that but I see that it can get busy at times. Servers were always checking up on us and refilling our drinks. Restaurant is inside the Asian Grocery market but the restaurant itself looks very modern. I gave it a 4 stars because I wish the appetizers and hot/ cold food bar is better. The selections are nice but tastes mid. If they can make it taste better then would rate it 5 stars.

    I was really disappointed with my experience at Niku this time…read more The restaurant wasn't overwhelmingly busy, but two servers were very disrespectful to our table - and on top of that, we were even overcharged by about $60. One of them walked over and very casually threw out a "last call," without explaining how many minutes were left or checking whether we wanted to order anything else. Everyone at our table was caught off guard. It felt like we were being rushed to finish and pushed out, which made things really awkward and gave us a sense of being treated differently from other guests. If the goal was to manage the floor or control timing, the very least they could've done was explain it clearly: something like "You have X minutes left for last orders" or "We close at X time," instead of dropping one vague line and walking away, leaving guests to guess what's going on. When guests feel respected and in a good mood, we naturally order more and tip better. But when the attitude is poor and we feel rushed, it doesn't matter that the extra money isn't going directly into those servers' pockets - it just makes people not want to come back at all. 这次在 Niku 的用餐体验真的非常失望。 整晚不是店里忙不过来,而是有两位服务生对我们非常不尊重,甚至多charge了我们$60刀。 他们走到我们桌前,语气很敷衍地丢下一句"last call",完全没有说明还剩几分钟、也没有确认我们是不是还需要再点。整桌人都被说愣了,只觉得好像是被"赶单""赶人",气氛非常尴尬,也让我们感到被区别对待的感觉。 如果你们真的是为了控场或时间安排,最基本也要说明清楚:"还有 X 分钟可以最后点单""我们几点关店"之类,而不是轻飘飘一句话就走人,让客人自己去猜。 客人心情好、感受到被尊重,大家自然愿意多点一些、给更好的小费;态度差、让客人觉得被赶,钱也不是进那两个服务生自己口袋,最后只会让大家不想再来。

    My favorite pho in Seattle, and really, anywhere!…read more This place is amazing! They treat their guests like regulars, and they treat their regulars like family. I have not had a bad meal here, and neither has my friends. This is honestly my favorite place for pho, and in my humble opinion, the best pho I've ever had. It tastes like your Vietnamese aunties are cooking in the kitchen, because they are! I crave this place, and usually eat here once a week if I can. My regular order is a large pho tai chin nam bo vien, (no white onions), which is rare steak, brisket, flank, and beef meatballs. Their pho broth is clear, yet rich and beefy and filled with authentic spices - you can really taste the bones being lovingly simmered for hours. Their Bun Bo Hue is also very good, with outstanding homemade pork meatballs. I tried my friend's Bun Rieu and it was seafoody and delicious as well. Also, don't miss out on their Goi Cuon (spring rolls). It's not on the menu but they do offer a shrimp & pork spring roll. They are absolutely delicious and very fresh. As I said, not a bad meal to be had here! Pro tip: For extra rich, beefy tasting pho, order some nuoc beo, (pronounced "nook bay-o") to add to your broth. You can thank me later. I cannot recommend this place enough!

All the staff were pretty chill and nice. Love all their smiles. I got my favorite, Beef Stew. I ordered this often in Lynnwood site, especially when I was sick. Regarless, it's on different location, the taste is the same! So, I'm happy about it. The vibe is completely different than Lynnwood one. This restaurant is darker and guests are way louder. Mostly, university students, I think. I like dim light atmosphere, unfortunately, I can't enjoy it much here. Too loud? Too dark? Or it's just not the right light bulbs, it got me dizzy. It was at night, it made the room even gloomy. Upon returning to the parking lot, the atmosphere is somewhat unsettling. This is particularly true for a woman walking alone. To access the parking lot, I had to walk through the darkness to the back of the building. Unfortunately, due to the narrow parking lot, one car was parked in a manner that blocked the exit way, requiring me to reverse all the way out. Overall fantastic staff, fantastic food, but I may not comeback because the vibe just doesn't suit me. This restaurant will most likely be very busy in the better location and fresh look.
