There was some iffy planning on a Bellevue teriyaki restaurant's part when they locked my two…read morefoodie friends and me out of eating there an hour and a half before closing with no explanation, so we found this place instead. One of my friends and I have already had their location in Georgetown countless times so we were happy to recommend our choices for our other friend this Friday evening around 7pm. Welp, we came into very full seating inside an extremely tight yet cozy seating area if it weren't for all the noise from there being so many people inside. It was so full and more people kept lining up behind us that we decided to do takeout and eat our food on the hood of my car despite spaces opening up as we waited about 20 or so minutes for our food... did I mention the parking lot for this place was nearly full and spots were very unforgiving in elbow room? Also that it's peak dinner time? Anyway, you place your order on a lone kiosk up front which did contribute to the really long line forming near the outside entrance. Like their Georgetown location, they offer a ton of hearty donburi and some appetizers and soup. Staff were a little rushed with some orders and forgot to give me utensils when I requested them through the kiosk but this didn't affect my overall experience, as I went back and they were more than happy to give them to me. We got their unagi donburi, which consists of a ton of broiled freshwater eel with an umami seasoning and tender juiciness, all on top of a huge bed of rice and with some radish. One of my friends instead got their una-gyu donburi which is a mix of unagi and sukiyaki beef, though that means we all got their unagi. Eel wasn't too salty, and scales are very fine and small that you can just eat it as is. This was a warming, hearty meal that sat very well with me and my friends. For this location and the one in Georgetown, I am most certainly coming back for some more!

I thought it was another fast-casual spot but this place really stands out from the rest. I got the…read morechirashi bowl and the fish was fresh, the rice well flavored, and portion size satisfactory. Really enjoyed it. My family got the aburi sake and volcano donburis and enjoyed their food as well. They have a wide variety of donburi options - fish, meat, katsu, and tofu. Definitely look forward to coming back for more. Not a large restaurant so the tables can fill up quite fast. Order at counter or kiosk and they serve the bowls to your table. You bus your own table after.

I also treated myself to a milk tea with mango which was equally delicious. The dinning room is comparable to Chipotle's - a bit on the cloud side. A super friendly gal prepped my meal and drink.

You can choose from a variety of fishes as well. They were pretty fresh and yummy. The guy working there was really nice. He had a lot of advice and suggestions. The place is literally a fish market so not a dine in place. Parking is ample. Otherwise, it's pretty quiet and calm. The stuff is sometimes pricey but when they do deals like this, it's worth it. Will probably be back for their sushi and sashimi special as well.

When I arrived their supplier had not yet arrived with the product, so the owner coordinated free delivery same day so that I could be free to go home and prepare for the dinner party. Experiencing their dry-aged fish Omakase offering in person this week was a reminder of why I enjoy purchasing from Local Market whenever I'm on the East Side. The owner Mark is incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth and willing to answer any silly question you may have. His passion for his craft is obvious, and this company deserves nothing but the best!

The sashimi was beautifully served, fresh and delicious. I had one roll, salmon skin. I would like a touch less rice, but it tasted very good. The spicy scallop gankun was outstanding!

We ordered a few things from the happy hour menu as well as their regular menu: - tempura sampler 5/5 - still good as last time. -2x sashimi combo 4.5/5 - there was some variety and the fish was definitely fresh, but didn't really stand out -wagyu donburi 5/5 - steak was tender and good, the bowl was balanced. Everything went well together - salmon kama 5/5 - my favorite of the meal, juicy fish, flavorful Salmon sampler - 4/5 : pretty standard. They also gave us a complimentary fruit at the end which was nice. Definitely my go to place for sushi and Japanese food.

It warms my heart to see an excellent food safety rating from the local health department. That is how I knew this food was gonna be well served and ready to eat. The server was attentive and nailed the order right to my preference. It is right outside the hustle and bustle of Bellevue Square. That also helps make the experience pleasant. Seriously. Lemme enjoy my lunch in peace. As I did today. Highly recommend this!

My favorite sauce is the Maui Fire & Dynamite. I enjoy a kick of spice. You top off with toppings. The service is quick & accommodating. I will say depending on the server you can get a big place or smaller place. Some add more than others. The tables are up kept as they are cleaning them often. The location is soo convenient inside the mall.

Not sure if it's because they have a promotion today but it was quite busy. They were constantly making bowls. They have a nice seating area if you decided to dine in. I got the surf and surf and it was pretty good. Everything seems fresh and flavorful. Portion definitely is a lot smaller than what I remember but that's just inflation nowadays.

The sear really adds a nice smoky flavor, and the fish to rice ratio is very nice - each piece of fish is quite thick, and they are very fatty pieces of salmon. I do wish it was slightly *more* seared to intensify the flavor even more, but that's a personal preference. I've had this item a couple of times and it's great each time.

I did end up getting the attention of someone behind the counter to ask about gluten in a few of the rolls, but you can tell they prefer people to just use the iPad. She was able to do the seared salmon roll for me without the soy sauce on it, and then I had to pay to get gf soy sauce on the side. Wish it was an equal sub since I know they cost equal to the business. The roll was pretty good. Did not look like the picture. I think they were supposed to sear it and then add toppings, but they seared the toppings too which made it kind of odd. Tried to eat at the food court but ended up taking it to go. It was good that evening, but by the next AM the rice was super hard so I had to throw it out.
