It's been over a year since my last review. When available,…read morewhen a four seater is available, we invite other couples to experience Chef Sean's sushi. They all know it's strictly sushi, sashimi, nigiri, etc... You don't get ramen, teriyaki meat dishes, katsu like other establishments. Should be called Sean's Strictly Sushi hahaha. I've also invited my gal friends who love sushi when I can get a two seater. Hubby doesn't mind not having some just so my friends could experience chef Sean's sushi. Everyone we've invited to dine with us were so impressed, including a sushi chef from Palm Springs. Her father owned a popular place for our 50 years, but has since retired. She was very impressed by the quality, and craftsmanship, the love Chef Sean pours into his creations. All my friends know how difficult it is to get reservations, so they rely on me to make them. Chef Sean keeps his little place clean, with relaxing music playing at all times. Usually Japanese music. But last night he had jazz playing and we loved it. We've been visiting Sean, and my check ins say we've been here over 50 times wow!!! Not only does he create quality delicious sushi, sauces, and tea, but we got to know him so well, we call him friend. Even like family since we got to meet his little one also. When he had the time, Chef Sean and his little one had attend events that we put on. Thank you Chef Sean for giving us quality sushi in our little town of Kent. If you haven't been to sushi Kaunta, follow him on IG so you know when reservations are open, and you can enjoy even if you have to wait weeks to get in.

I always just get sashimi, so I can't speak to anything else. Since it is a one man operation it is reservation only and no take out. Very much worth it to take the effort and make a reservation. You will need to preorder with your reservation so he has exactly the right amount of product, I do like that aspect of it.

It's a great deal for all you can eat sushi, ramen, grilled meats, and more! My girlfriend and I…read moretried it out for the first time last night, and the interior was nice and clean. Our server explained how the ordering worked, and they had little robots bringing the food over. They had a great variety of sushi options including handrolls, specialty rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and more. The fish wasn't fishy for the sashimi or other items which is always a big relief. We ended up getting the gold option which included the sashimi and nigiri options. So if you're into raw fish, we highly recommend getting that dining option. They also had a mini salad and fruit bar, but because we came closer to closing they weren't as stocked up as I assume they would be during peak hours. Overall if you're hungry and looking for a good deal, highly recommend checking this place out. I believe they do reservations for future dates but not same day reservations. When we went in there was no wait time so it was good timing. They're also located in a shopping outlet area so there's plenty of parking.

Upon walking in, there's a drink station with Mango Juice and Thai Tea. They also have a buffet bar with sides and desserts. For the All You Can Eat option, there's silver and gold based on the options you want on the menu. You can order up to 15 items every 15 minutes with a 90 minute cap no matter how small or big your party is. Service comes with a mixture of a person bringing out the items alongside these robots that also deliver your order. With that being said, I've been here a few times ever since moving to the area the past year and the staff has always been very friendly and I appreciate the consistency of the items throughout each of the visits. Our go to are the Seared Salmon along with the Unagi Bowl. The way the sear the fish and add just the right amount of sauce makes those our go to. With more and more visits, we've come to know which items we want to select for our rounds. The decor is cool with the floating umbrellas and the lively music playing.

My boyfriend was craving teriyaki on a Sunday which as many of you know that teriyaki places are…read moreusually closed on Sundays. However, we saw that this place opens on Sundays (they had several banners saying that they were open on Sundays too) after the original place we wanted to check out had a sudden kitchen maintenance. This restaurant is a lot bigger than other teriyaki restaurants with booth and chair seats, plenty of big or small tables, two TVs playing different sports, and it was the temperature was perfect. They have a big menu so it's easy to see the prices and their offerings, which consists of teriyaki, soups, Chinese food, sushi and bubble tea. Their prices are very reasonable and the upcharge on fried rice is the lowest I've seen but I think there's a reason for that (it's pretty bland). The cashier lady was efficient at her job but definitely could be friendlier and I wish she wasn't super snappy, there was no real rush and we were maybe their fourth order during that time. We opted to dine in and took our seat waiting for food. They have offer fountain drinks and bottled drinks, as well as water cups. We got our utensils and sauce cups first then our food arrived not too long afterwards. My boyfriend got their chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu combo with fried rice while I got their chicken teriyaki and California roll combo. I love that they have steamed veggies as I like to enjoy any remaining teriyaki sauce with them. The California rolls were decent, not the best but not the worst either. The teriyaki sauce is pretty good, it is a great mix of sweet and savory. They are also very generous with rice as there was a bed of under my teriyaki and two scoops. My boyfriend enjoyed the katsu and the sauce that came with it was very delicious! The only issue we had was that the fried rice had no seasoning or color, I almost thought it was white rice with some veggies at first. Other than that, a solid teriyaki joint that seemed to have a good amount of people coming in to pick up orders for the most part.

I was a little confused when we ordered our sushi because when we sat down to dine in. The menu on the table was a bit different from the kiosk? Other than that, the seared salmon I ordered was good and the size of the salmon was a nice size too. The prices are for single nigiri and it's not bad. The restaurant is cute and underneath the new apartments there in Kent. There's lots of parking when we went, which was sometime after 5pm and there is some reserved parking for the restaurant as well.

The ambiance is always pretty chill and the music selection is great.

I wouldn't normally order teriyaki at sushi but it was for my nephew so I had no choice, it was delicious but growing up in Seattle charging almost 25 dollars for teriyaki kinda blew my mind. Besides that we had a great experience and will continue to come back.

She never asked if we needed more water, didn't clear our plates, and never checked to see how our food was. The food also took forever to come out. I do want to mention that a younger male employee came over at one point and asked if everything was okay. My husband said yes because that was genuinely his experience, but I personally did not feel the same way and wasn't happy with the service or overall experience. To make matters worse, within about 15 minutes of leaving the restaurant, I became extremely sick with symptoms that felt like food poisoning. I obviously can't say with certainty what caused it, but the timing was very concerning and made an already disappointing experience much worse. For the amount of money we spent, I expected much better service, attentiveness, and overall quality. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not return.

UPDATE: I received a response from someone who identified themselves as the owner/manager. This person took no accountability for the poor behavior of their staff. I was told (among other dissatisfied responses) that they spoke with the server. Not once did they ask where we were seated, so how could you know where we were seated, to know whom exactly of your staff to have that talk with? Very poor encounter from management, and I see why their employees are no different!!

I ordered The Combo Hainanese Chicken Rice which contained both the Steamed and Fried Chicken. Both chickens were cut nicely and I liked that the fried chicken was not overly breaded to maintain the balance. The rice tasted as expected with the slight hits of umami. The dipping sauce was nice and I left no leftovers. The broth was extremely bland and felt watered down and had a strange taste to it. Overall, would come back again when craving this dish but may stick to ordering to go due to the limited parking.

Worth the wait and we may return tomorrow.

Love their dine in specials on the rolls. We were waiting for a flight and the rolls took 40-45 minutes after ordering and the restaurant wasn't busy. We waited awhile to order. Lunch took over an hour. Would have ordered more if it wouldn't have taken so long. We left a little hungry. Definitely not fast service. Seemed like they had a lot of takeout orders, and that contributed to the wait time. Literally had to ask for the check bc we were worried about catching our flight. Definitely put a damper on the experience. Would go back if we weren't in a rush. 5/5 Seattle roll 5/5 protein roll. Decent amount of fish. Great flavors. No rice roll 4.5/5 in-n-out roll had a nice kick to spicy tuna. Wasn't super hot either. 3.5/5 albacore roll. Fried bits seemed stale and not great. Fish portions felt smaller for some reason.
