Wow. New owners in the last 6 months and you can tell they care! Fresh fish deliveries 3 times a week. Massive improvement from the last owners/flavors. Great lunch special rolls - 7 days a week!!! We did 4 rolls for $60 (2 for $30 + miso). Mountain, Maple Leaf, Kiss Me Mucho & Red Dragon - AMAZING. Super impressed with the service, atmosphere, fresh fish & great roll selection/variety. Will be a regular here!!! read more

We've been here a few times, and I can't believe I haven't written a review yet. This spot truly feels like a hidden gem in Maple Valley. The quality of the fish rivals what you'd expect to pay for in Seattle or Bellevue--but without the long drive. It's an unassuming place, which honestly adds to its charm. I really appreciate the authenticity they aim to bring to the experience. It's become one of our go-to spots for great sushi close to home, and we're so glad to have it nearby. read more

Stopped by for a work lunch with my crew and was instantly impressed! The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and seemed newly remodeled--such a great vibe for a midday break. Our server was really sweet, helpful, and attentive. We all decided on their fantastic lunch special: ANY RAMEN + HOSOMAKI-MONO. You choose any ramen from their menu plus your favorite hosomaki roll. I went with the Tonkotsu Chashu (pork broth), which was packed with seared pork belly, green onion, bamboo, a hard-boiled egg, bean sprouts, and bok choy, paired with an albacore hosomaki. Since there were three of us, we tried all three Tonkotsu dishes. Every single bowl was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The broth was rich, and the ingredients tasted high-quality. We left happy, full, and ready to recommend this place to everyone! read more

I've tried both this and the federal way location. In comparison, this restaurant is more spacious. Our server was very nice. Lunch charashi and Hwe Dup Bap (think Korea style poke) are both good deals, rolls are good choices - fish taste fresh. read more

Ordered to go from this place. Waited an hour and 30 minutes, then they cancelled my order. If I could give negative stars, I would. Absolutely ridiculous and horrible customer service. read more

I was celebrating a birthday recently and had seen this place when I went to Frankie's pizza. It's right next-door and it looked like a pretty cool spot. After reading the reviews, I decided to come in on a Monday evening. Not very crowded that evening, we were able to get a nice both and take our time ordering. We enjoyed delicious miso soup before the meal. We ordered three rolls and a salad with crab meat. The salad was a very generous size and everything was delicious.The rolls featured fresh fish and were delicious. For dessert we enjoyed their Yuzu sherbet. Overall, a great experience and a very friendly waiter. Highly recommend to our friends. read more

The sushi here is GOOD! We found our new sushi spot in the area and cannot be happier. We did a to go order and got greeted immediately as I entered. Ambiance looks super cute in there, with a cherry blossom. We ordered the sushi deluxe, emerald wave roll, and a creamy scallop hand roll. This was for 2 people and it was more than enough. Fish tasted fresh, hand roll had a good amount of scallops and not overly stuffed with rice. I enjoyed the emerald roll very much! & the spicy tuna is a tiny bit more on the spicy side if you're sensitive to spice levels. Overall, would definitely come back! read more

Food: 4/5 - We only tried the sushi and a fried oyster appetizer, but they were all excellent and tasty! Dinner came with miso soup. Service: 5/5 - Attentive, friendly, and nice! Ambiance: 3/5 - Decor is pretty simple and functional. Nice colors, but seems unfinished. Dinnertime had J-rock music playing. I'd describe this environment as casual. read more

Super cute restaurant. Located in a very busy strip mall parking was limited, but there are a few spots reserved for the restaurant right in front. We ordered take-away through their website. The interior is very nice if you plan to eat here. Their safety rating with King County at the time of this review is Excellent. I did not have a chance to eat any of the food we purchased. Others got to it and didn't share. (No worries, we had two large pizzas too) There was one comment about the gyoza usually being boiled or pan fried while here they are deep fried. The staff were super sweet. Everyone enjoyed their sushi and gyoza. read more

ATTENTION SUSHI CONSPIRACY THEORISTS! Let me tell you about Nori Sushi, where the staff will IMMEDIATELY assure you that any similarity to Sumo Sushi's steady decline in business since they opened is "purely coincidental" and they're "definitely not running a calculated campaign of wasabi-based warfare." Upon entering (while watching a host hastily remove what is DEFINITELY NOT a voodoo doll of Sumo Sushi's mascot), you'll be greeted with "Welcome to Nori Sushi - and no, we didn't INTENTIONALLY price our dragon roll 50 cents cheaper than Sumo's." Their name tags include the suspicious disclaimer "Not Plotting Against Anyone, Especially Not Sumo Sushi™." The menu (which they swear wasn't designed to make Sumo's look outdated) comes with a manifesto about how they "just happened" to open across town with "coincidentally" better parking. Their signature "Totally Not Better Than Sumo Roll" was apparently conceived through divine inspiration and not three months of corporate espionage. The walls are plastered with signs reading "We Support Local Sushi Competition!" next to newspaper clippings about Sumo's health inspection scores. The staff regularly attends "Competitive Harmony" seminars where they practice saying "There's room in this town for everyone!" while crossing their fingers behind their backs. Their wasabi comes with a small note: "Any rumors that we hired Sumo's former wasabi supplier are completely unfounded." The soy sauce bottles have tiny labels reading "Not Responsible for Sumo's Mysterious Soy Sauce Shortage of 2023." Five stars? Yes, but we're not keeping track of how many stars Sumo has (it's three). P.S. If you mention Sumo, the chef will loudly drop his knife and shout "WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT OPERATION CALIFORNIA ROLL?!" P.P.S. Their loyalty program disclaimer reads: "Points valid only at Nori Sushi. Any similarity to Sumo's recently discontinued points system is purely coincidental." P.P.P.S. Their website includes a section titled "Why We're Different (But Not Deliberately Better Than) Sumo Sushi" followed by 27 bullet points. P.P.P.P.S. Each table has a small placard reading: "We didn't hire their entire staff, they just collectively decided to work here on the same day." Warning: Do NOT ask about the mysterious figure in dark sunglasses who counts customers entering Sumo Sushi. That's just their "market research intern." Double Warning: The management would like to remind you that their "Buy One, Get One Free If You Show A Sumo Receipt" promotion is "standard industry practice." Triple Warning: Yes, their parking lot is bigger. No, they didn't intentionally buy all the land around Sumo. That was just... investment opportunity. Final Warning: Their slogan "The Only Sushi You'll Ever Need" is not a threat to other establishments. It's just... optimistic marketing. P.S. The chef wants you to know that any rumors about him teaching Sumo's secret recipes are false. He "just happened" to learn them through "sushi osmosis." read more

Update!! Y'all they got vegan sushi now. California roll, but Vegan?!?!?!? Y'all it was so good and exceeded my expectations. I always love when a restaurant has options for those who do not eat meat. read more

Really unsure why this place is so highly rated.... This sushi is not good and we will not be returning. We both feel sick after eating here. The service was great. Miso soup was hot and free. But everything else is a no. Bummer. read more

Not many people know that this sushi place is under new ownership here in Maple Valley. I decided to try it out and I was impressed! Their sushi was very fresh and delicious! Their rolls have the perfect amount of rice, not too much. I really enjoyed the tiger eye appetizer. It was crunchy and full of flavor. I recommend the mountain roll. My friend enjoyed the rainbow roll and shrimp tempura roll. They also served us complimentary miso soup! The service is very attentive and the place was super clean. I will definitely be back! Try it out! read more

Want some sushi to redeem our last very disappointing experience from another Japanese restaurant. Normally I would go to Sumo but heard about this place. Walking in this place, the decoration is looking high end. Many selection on the menu, price is not bad. I decided to order their Chirashi. I was really happy with the quality of the sashimi. The plate was setup pretty. Thick sliced, good quality. We also ordered the bento box with fried salmon, nice thick cut of salmons deep fried and chicken katsu. Katsu is a little dried but still very crispy. Plenty of food. It also comes with a few pieces of tempuras. The service was great. The waitress checked on us several times and refilled tea for us. I know Sumo is popular in this area, but I like the atmosphere in this restaurant. It is not as noisy. I would definitely come back again. read more
