A spontaneous visit to a Japanese restaurant in Lynnwood. If I see Tonkatsu in the menu, I gotta…read morehave it. Their Tonkatsu was delicious, flaky panko, and not oily at all. Side dishes were good too, and always gotta chug it down with an Asahi Dry. Service is quick and such a clean place. Highly recommend coming here for a lunch date.

We came around 11:30 AM on a Tuesday. We really enjoyed our Kurobuta Katsu and Katsu Nabe--the…read morekatsu was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich and authentic flavor. I especially loved that we got to grind the toasted sesame seeds ourselves, which added a fresh, nutty aroma and made the experience feel even more traditional. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the interior was nicely decorated with a great vibe. It was also nice to come during lunchtime when it wasn't too crowded. Parking was easy with free retail garage parking. Overall, a great experience!

Service was attentive as usual, small restaurant but well lit and more than enough room to be comfortable. The omakase set is such great value here. Super fresh seafood. The sake flight was an added pleasure that accompanied the dinner so well. Don't remember all the names of each piece :) but left very satisfied and anticipating our next visit soon!

Nakagawa was our go-to place for great Japanese food. We would literally drive 35-40 min to dine…read morehere whenever we had the craving for sushi and bento boxes. Yet, it's disappointing to say that we've been sourly disappointed the last 2-3 times we came here. Not sure if it's management change or something happened, but Nakagawa lost its magic with us. 1. The service has been terribly slow and just not inviting anymore. After ordering, we waited easily 35-40 min for the food. I know it takes time to meticulously prep rolls, but after 30 min of just sitting and waiting, you can't help but start feeling hangry. And this isn't just a one-time occurrence - this happened multiple times for us. 2. The bento box quality. I LOVE bento boxes - it was such a treat to dine on so many different Japanese options, like a sampler box of goodness. Ranging from nigiri to sushi, from tempura to the soup, bento boxes have a special place in my heart. Yet, I feel like Nakagawa's bento boxes have sadly missed that mark. The protein (chicken teriyaki/katsu) tastes old and oddly mushy, and the portions are quite small, just leaving me wanting more. Don't get me wrong - the fish is still good. Solid place for seafood, paired with a lengthy wait. But Nakagawa just lost its touch with us, and driving that 30-35 min trek is not worth it for us anymore.

In short The vibe is all friendly neighborhood joint, but…read morethe fish (especially the sashimi) is excellent. Hard to beat this place. In long We've been meaning to try it forever and finally dragged our carcasses in here when we were coming back from an afternoon up north. Quiet Sunday night on Thanksgiving weekend, and we scored perfect parking and got a table instantly. So we're already in a great mood, right? It's a shoebox-shaped room with a few extra tables in one corner. Newish strip mall construction. You can come in from either end, which I would not have guessed. It's sparkling clean and well lit with some nice warmth to the lighting. Big flatscreens behind the sushi bar, probably tuned to the ballgame or the news or something. The menu feels comfortingly familiar. The usual apps, solid list of sashimi, lots of classic rolls and then a couple full pages of specialty rolls. Matcha for later. So far you don't feel like you're in crazy territory, though they do list hamachi collar as an all-the-time hot dish, which is cool. So many places run out of it right away and list it only as a special, but not here. The sake list is just enough--a couple of each type, some solid and reasonably-priced house options, a couple really nice picks. You get your sake right away and the miso doesn't take much longer. The takoyaki was delicious and beautiful. Lots of garnish, boiling hot, great flavor. Nice tako bits in there, lots of creamy filling. They garnish the seaweed salad with daikon and load it with cucumber. More places should do both of these things. The cucumber in particular enhanced the flavor a ton. Once the rolls showed up, things got better and better. The Love Hunter and the Amazing were both fantastic. Great combinations of flavors and textures, generously portioned and topped. We got some classic taki too, and that was a great contrast. I love it so much when places nail the classics and the modern. I got the deluxe sashimi dinner. For $36 this is such a value. The hamachi and the other tuna were both super buttery, the salmon had tons of flavor, and there were a couple other nice fish on the plate as well. It's great when you find a place you're super happy you tried, but this immediately goes into the rotation as an any-night sushi spot. Affordable enough you don't have to wait for a special occasion! Dig this place hard.

Highly quality sushi and great roll options :)…read more This spot is located very centrally within the Mill Creek Town Center so it is a good spot for a little day out in the area. It is a smaller restaurant so it may be a good idea to call before going in for the dinner rush. I went on a solo outing here for lunch and was surprised that they have an all day happy hour for most of their operating days (excluding holidays). The happy hour offered a great selection of apps and a good selection of rolls! I opted to try the smokey roll which was on the happy hour menu. This roll featured smoked salmon on top which was very tasty. I also ordered the deluxe salmon roll which was also very good! I recommend requesting a side of spicy mayo for the smokey roll. Overall, I was super happy for both of my rolls and the price was not too bad for high quality sushi!

We really enjoyed their more simple rolls-- the spicy tuna was outstanding. The suicide roll was also a surprise favorite, and actually had some decent spice! The firecracker roll was a bit of a letdown, it just wasn't anything special compared to some of their low-cost rolls. Not worth the upgrade in my opinion. Overall, Sushi zen is a really solid spot in the mill creek area. We will definitely be back to check out their dine-in experience!

We went all in and ordered the Love Boat plus a few extra nigiri, and everything looked SO good when it came out. Super fresh, nice variety, and honestly just fun to eat. The presentation alone made it feel like a whole experience. Also ordered the Lamborghini roll... and yeah, no picture because we were too hungry and devoured it immediately but it was really good. Only thing, service was kinda slow. Not terrible, just noticeable (it wasn't packed on Friday night and however they did have a lot of Togo orders). Once the food came out though, it made up for it. Overall: good sushi, solid portions, and a chill spot if you're not in a rush. I'd come back!

Returning dishes was made fun by a little "trap" door that you slide your empty dishes into. Kids had fun feeding the plates into the chute. If you sign up for it, you can get a little charm after so many plates returned. We left with a cute fridge magnet and a pin. The robot that delivers drinks was novel and another point of interest. lol It can get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but thankfully, the turnover is pretty quick too. The only downside is that it can be somewhat pricey. I believe each plate was around $4.50 or so. It's fine for more "elevated" dishes, but the California was also the same price for example, with only 4 pieces to a plate.. For our family of four, it came out to about $200 when it was all said and done. Overall, we would visit again for a quick sushi fix!

The worst sushi I've had in Seattle by far…read more The rice didn't taste seasoned to me. All of the nigiri tastes like there is a thin layer of oil on it. The knife work on the fish is replacement level and leads to bad cuts being served. The rolls that have mayo in it have way more mayo than is palettable. On my fourth and final visit I found a hair sticking out from one of my pieces of nigiri. I ordered a replacement and the next piece of nigiri that came out had something in the flesh that should have never been sent out, so I sent that back too and asked for my check immediately. The service is low-effort even for a revolving sushi place. Also the waiting area being outside only just feels disrespectful and detracts from the atmosphere/experience.
