    It's been a really long time since I been back and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the fish. I ordered online and I wish it was a little clearer but I watched a chirashi bowl , instead I ended up with salmon only bowl with hotate upgrade and ikiro. I also got a couple of toro nigiri and hama rice dish. The fish was pretty good for the price. It was fresh, firm and taste good. The hama was dry and almost burned so I didn't care much. They didn't use sushi rice and just plain rice. I asked that my chirashi bowl comes with no rice but there was rice They were pretty busy when I was there so it's probably better if you order takeout. It was crowded and feels claustrophobic. Service was ok, they had my food ready earlier than expected and that was nice.

    Great local spot!! I got the chirashi bowl and subbed for all seared salmon which was really yummy. The food was great and the fish was great quality. The rolls were huge! You order on your phone at the table now instead of through a server. The food took a little longer than expected but was great!!

    Great spot for a decently priced chirashi bowl! I like that they allow substitutions of different fish. I also enjoy the hot tea that's provided. I asked for spicy mayo the last time I went and it was not like what I'm used to. It tasted kind of gingery? It wasn't bad, just not what I was wanting (literally just kewpie and sriracha!). Service is decent.

    I come back every week. The sushi was super fresh and you can really taste the quality, especially in the salmon, it just melts in your mouth. The rolls were simple but done really well. I also liked how straightforward everything was. It's mostly self-serve with the kiosk, which makes ordering quick and easy, but the staff are still around and super helpful if you need anything. The food does take a little time to come out, but it's clearly made fresh so it's worth the wait. The environment is clean, organized, and has a chill, no-frills vibe. It's not super fancy, but it's comfortable and perfect for a casual meal. It can get a bit busy and seating is somewhat limited during peak hours, but that just shows how popular it is. Overall, great spot if you want high-quality sushi without spending a ton. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

    Chirashi Bowl

    Chirashi Bowl: This had a great variety of fish and lots of food. The salmon, scallop, eel, and shrimp were great. However, the tuna, albacore, and yellow tail had a mushy texture. The rice was good. Fresh Salmon Roll (+ Avocado): Great rolls, good portion of food, especially for the price. The food portions were big and filling. You can sit down and then order via QR code, or order via the kiosk. There was complementary tea, which was lovely. The disposable chopsticks were not the greatest quality, but they sufficed. I would probably come back to have their salmon or cooked protein options.

    Amazing sushi place to try! I usually get their salmon rolls and they're always fresh and delicious. Their spicy mayo is pretty amazing as well. Definitely the best spicy mayo I've ever had. The service was good. It's self served though their kiosk but if you have any questions, the employee will help you. The sushi took a bit of time to make but it was definitely worth it! The ambiance was nice! It was clean and organized and I liked how they decorated the shop. The seating can be limited during rush hour though.

    This used to be where I would go to pick up super cheap (and decent quality) sushi about 10 years ago The prices have gone up significantly since then but this place still provides the best value when it comes to dining out for sushi. I chuckle though when I see reviews here saying this place offers "authentic" sushi. No disrespect but this is a typical Korean run Japanese restaurant. I don't mean that as negative because this place is quite good for that type do restaurant. I have been to most of their other locations as well and this Bellevue one used to be a bit different in that they did not accept credit card. Now They do. You can also order delivery using Uber Eats. Prices are a lot higher via delivery though (fyi). Their rolls are good but I recommend getting the chirashi bowl (best value). Their kama is also surprisingly good as well.

    My go to for fresh, not-splurging, sushi fix! Usually we have it to go but decided to eat in since they have renovated a while back. Like the self service kiosk as a secondary option to ordering at the counter with friendly staff. Though place is small, it is well designed for different party sizes- from single person counter to joint 2 or 4 tops over bench. Love they always have complimentary hot tea ready to go. Very efficient operation. Had the bento box, always a great value and most importantly tasty. The fatty tuna nigiri was delicious. Tried the grilled spring onions, simple, tasty and refreshing and my favorite of all time- grilled yellowtail collar Hamachi Kama. So satisfying and filling. The citrus soy sauce is perfect with rice.

    Chirashi Bowl
    Ingrid C.

    My first ever chirashi bowl and it was so satisfying! All the seafood paired so nicely together. I don't get sushi often, but when I do, I definitely am a salmon fan. This bowl's salmon was also my favorite, and I was so sad when it was over. Definitely more of a casual eatery- you place your order at the kiosk in the front and seat yourself. There is hot tea at each table and soy sauce. Worth a visit :3

    Chirashi!
    Dana T.

    I'm back. For probably the 500th time. Crazy to believe the last review I did for Musashi's was 9 years ago! The service is still stellar. Options are tried and true. There really is nothing more to say. I will be continually supporting this biz and am so happy to see they're doing well. Hands down best bang for buck sushi in Seattle.

    Salmon Chirashi Bowl
    Generous Y.

    Musashi's has some of the finest, freshest fish around and is a top recommendation for sure. This location has better spicy mayo than the Wallingford one. Plus it's in a large plaza so there's ample parking. What makes each chirashi bowl so wonderful is the ability to customize and tailor to preferences. Regardless of how many fish you specify (or get the standard bowl), it's the same amount of protein. Skipping the chirashi feels like a mistake, but honestly you can't go wrong with any item here. Chirashi Bowl with Salmon, Seared Salmon, and Roe - I always get salmon and seared salmon, but usually include other fish. Just to err on the side of caution, I skipped the tuna due to mercury awareness having had poke a few times earlier. However, I think this puts into perspective how custom and beautiful each bowl can be. Salmon is so fatty and thick and the spicy mayo is magical.

    Musashi Roll and Chirashi Bowl
    Claire N.

    One of my all time local favorites! Been dining here for the last decade, and the quality and freshness never disappoints. I usually order the Chirashi bowl and the Musashi roll, which are a couple of the most popular items on the menu. The chirashi bowl comes with a variety of fish, and the quality always taste top notch. The Musashi roll is a california roll topped with spicy tuna and spicy mayo, which makes it so delicious and more filling. Both items have such good portions for the price. The service is quick and efficient. You just order up at the front and sit down at a table, so it's pretty straight forward. I enjoy the cozy ambience but there is very limited seating. I will continue dining here whenever I want to get a chirashi fix in!

    Serena W.

    Wow!! The salmon is SO good here. I was surprised to see how big the salmon is on the nigiri. It tasted really fresh and good. It's the perfect fish to rice ratio in my opinion. The chirashi bowl is also worth it. We ordered a side of noodle salad and beef skewer, those were good too. However the rolls were just ok, they were my least favorite so I wouldn't order the rolls. I would come here again just for the salmon nigiri!! The seating area is a bit small. I wish there was an area to grab utensils and napkins, as there were none on the table when food arrived.

My partner ordered the pico sushi tower and the fried calamari. Both were very impressive serving sizes! She was feeling ambitious and was going to order 3 tapas, but ended up not even being able to finish the two. I ordered the sake bento box and WOW. I had had my heart pretty set on trying it going in because I had looked at the menu ahead of time, and was sad when the menu didn't have it listed as gluten free BUT I mentioned it to our server and she was happy to accommodate.

Not a lot of people there for a random weekday lunch. Lots of different rolls and sushi on the menu, along with beverages. The happy hour menu is also valid during lunch time. We tried a bunch of appetizers. My favorite was the calamari. There isn't much batter but there is a sweetness from orange zest. The edamame and takoyaki were decent. The chicken kaarage was not particularly flavorful nor did it have much of a crispy skin. Also tried the Cos-no-politan mocktail which definitely had that grapefruit flavor. For mains, I got the bento and the Super Bad Boy roll off the happy hour menu. The bento box has good portions. The contents change day to day, but I got chicken teriyaki over rice, 3 pieces of a crab roll, 2 pieces of fish nigiri, seaweed salad with some small octopi. Everything in the box was decent except the teriyaki, which was a bit rubbery. As for the Super Bad Boy roll, it's one of their fried rolls, and the frying made the roll taste a bit dry. Should have ordered a non-fried roll. Overall, service was good, portions okay. Some items were good, some were not that great.

One of the reasons I'm a regular is because the staff is so great! Even though this is a revolving sushi restaurant, that even has robots serve the beverages, the presence and service of the staff is incredible. Not only are they friendly and welcoming, but they ensure each customer has a perfect dining experience. The beverages are always refilled before you even need it, and they are quick to help customers who might have trouble with the ordering system. Literally today I witnessed a server named Jenn take 10 minutes to help a table of elderly first-timers figure out the ordering process, and even placed their drink orders for them. The robot came by with the drinks literally while she was still assisting them with their order. My main man José Luis leads the service staff, and it's extremely apparent that they are all happy at Kura. The way they interact with customers makes it clear that they care. José Luis has passed his friendly and helpful service ethic onto the whole staff. I can go to several good sushi restaurants closer to my home, but I come to Kura because of the service. Even when José Luis isn't working, Chino, Ashley, Jenn, Nick, and many others always make me feel so welcome. They all know my drink order, two teas and a diet coke, and they personally deliver it to my table, as they do for many other customers. And they never forget that I like extra wasabi! I don't take time to write a lot of reviews. I typically reserve my comments for when I have a bad experience. But Kura in Bellevue keeps me coming back! Oh, and I love the featured specials that change every couple weeks! I guess I can't end the review without talking about the food. If it wasn't good, the service alone would not save it. This place is always packed! My advice is to make a reservation to ensure a prompt table seating.

    Came here with family for a late birthday celebration and was glad I finally made the trip. Takai…read morehas been on my "to try" list ever since hearing that Chef Shiro co-partnered opening a restaurant on the Eastside a couple of years ago. Reservations were made ~3 weeks in advance for a reasonable dinner time slot on a weekend. We opted for the A La Carte Menu option which gave us the ability to order individual menu items while still offering omakase options. Our party of 4 ordered 2 omakase's (nigiri choice), a nigiri set, a salmon moriawase, and seasonal tempura. I personally ordered the omakase and the experience was well worth it with the sushi quality being extremely high. There were ~7 to 8 courses served throughout the omakase experience including 3 courses involving nigiri and the remaining courses involving a blend of small bites (egg, fish cake, tempura, sashimi, miso soup, dessert egg, hojicha ice cream to name a few). What especially stood out to me was the outstanding service that was displayed throughout the course of the meal. Our server was notably attentive and even went as far as switching the presentation of my nigiri courses after noticing I was left-handed so that I could eat from left to right while normally advising guests to eat from right to left. Every time one of us went to the restroom, our tablecloths were folded by our server and placed back onto the table. Tableware was immediately cleared upon finishing a course and every course in the omakase set came with a detailed description of the food you were about to eat and where in the world it was coming from. In all, the great food makes me want to be back soon, but the high level of service for the night completely made the experience that much more memorable.

    Overall: If you value fish aging, quiet technical execution (he's efficient but mostly quiet), and…read morea variety of fish, this place is worth a visit. Nothing stands out though, so you may not walk away "wowed". I think if this was half the price it'd be 4 or 5 stars, but for what you pay, I don't know if it'd crack the top in the greater Seattle area. Missus says it's on the same level as I love sushi - there's nothing special about this place. The booking and setup: One of the missus' acquaintances scored an OpenTable reservation for three. Getting prime dinner spots here usually requires deliberate timing or alert tracking, so having someone else handle the booking logistics was a welcome relief. The restaurant operates on strict seatings (roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes), situated on the ground floor of the One88 building at 180 Bellevue Way NE. We parked at the pickleball / orange theory parking lot - just steps away from the front door. Parking cost was $6.62 for 2 hours. Arrival & room vibe: We were seated promptly after arriving at 725pm. The background vibe is some kind of jazz track (that has gone on the whole time). Bathrooms are individual gender neutral - two at the back. There's 7 seats at the sushi bar, probably 6 at the drinking bar, and a smattering of sit-down tables. Drinks: just still water. I ordered a Mikan ale for $12. The meal (Omakase progression): 23 courses total. Starters / Cooked courses: right to left - persimmon with shimeji mushroom, tuna belly, some kind of snail. The sashimi: akami from Spain, amberjack, yellowtail / blue snapper. Missus liked the amberjack. One more course before the Nigiri! Chawanmushi - with freshwater eel, shrimp, and shimeji mushrooms. Nigiri highlights: 18 pieces of sushi! - 1st: knifejaw bream from Chiba - chewy, - 2nd: chutoro from Mexico (medium fatty tuna): as expected. - 3rd: shima aji - jack mackerel: missus liked this piece. - 4th: shiroi - squid from Japan. Chewy. Definitely squid. - 5th: iwashi - sardine - from Chiba Japan (missus likes the saltiness). - 6th: king salmon belly with onion on top - fatty and nice. - 7th: hotate (scallop) with Yuzu zest and lemon juice - colder than I expected. - 8th: Nodoguro from Akita Japan - missus favourite Tempura break! Fish, shishito pepper, mushroom. Dip into the salt! The shishito is mega spicy - missus is unfazed, but my mouth is on fire. OK back to sashimi (he's cutting more as we eat tempura) - 9th: akamizuke, marinated in special soy sauce, from Mexico. - 10th: kinmedai - golden eye snapper from Chiba Japan - - 11th: amaebi - sweet shrimp - 3 days aged - chewy and silky? - we also got a tempura version of the head, which was crunchy. - 12th: otoro (fatty tuna) - I'm a sucker for this kind of piece. - 13th: kohada (gizzard shad) - the texture and depth of flavour was good in this one. - 14th: Kisu (Japanese Whiting) - 15th: Katsuo (Skipjack Tuna / Bonito) with scallions on top, - 16th: handroll - Hokkaido uni, ikura, shiso leaf, tuna. Dang uni is good. Miso soup break! It was decent. - 17th: anago (saltwater sea eel) - grilled - 18th: tamago - egg - dessert - with hojicha ice cream Service & pacing: decently fast. It's 8:05pm and we're already into sushi. Jun asks if the sushi is rightsized (rice wise). Overall service is good but I'm sitting in the corner so it's kinda awks for the wait staff to refill water, etc. Jun will wait until you finish your current piece before moving on. We fully finished the last course and paid by 9:10pm. The damage: normally $195/person for the omakase, before drinks (I ordered the ale), tax, and tips. They don't auto add tips. We ended up Venmo'ing the person who got the reservation $290 for us two, so that's $145/person? I guess not the worst. Final verdict: variety but less size? Nothing stood out to either myself or the missus. The upside is that we were all full, though.
