Stumbled on this tiny hole-in-the-wall sushi place located inside a general store which supports the local campground here in Birch Bay state beach. Located with easy walking distance on what was a beautiful sunny day. I only had one roll, but its presentation with the flower and green fake leaf was a nice touch and shows a little more pride in his work. I'm really happy I dropped in and would certainly return. Definitely advise ordering online as that is a way to get ahead and have your order ready. I'll bet all his rolls are great. Wouldn't give it a 5 but certainly a solid 4. read more

We were just arriving to Birch Bay and wanted to have dinner. I was doing research and I called this restaurant for Sushi. Even though all the reviews said it was takeout only, it was still surprising to find this in the back of a grocery store. The owner was very pleasant and the food was ready shortly after we got there. Everything was delicious and the presentation was beautiful for takeout. We will definitely come back. read more

Skai Sushi - Escolar Nigiri, Salmon Nigiri, inferno roll and Birch Bay Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Blaine, Washington

We were in the area for a quiet weekend trip and came across this place on yelp. Honestly, I almost missed it because the icon for skai sushi is directly on top of the icon for the convenience store it is located inside. Wow this place blew me away! Reading the yelp reviews had me excited to check this place out, and I was very impressed. While it is inside of a convenience store, I would definitely recommend ordering ahead or being prepared to wait, as it probably not gonna be a quick bite. We came right when they opened for dinner and ended up waiting around 30 min for our food, but in our time ordering they had already received two large online orders, so we were lucky with the timing. These rolls were so big and very tasty. Just look at the filling in those california rolls!! I don't think I've ever seen so much. Overall, fish was fresh, rolls were beautiful, and our leftovers were enough for another meal. I think we spent around $75, so this was a pretty decent price for sushi (not cheap though). Truly a great find read more

We were up in Blaine for a Nexus interview and decided to try Skai Sushi when they opened on a Saturday. We didn't call or order ahead as others recommended and ordered at the counter - we were the only ones in at the time. It was about a 30 min wait. We ordered the poke bowl, avocado bomb, and monster roll - plenty of food for 2 hungry adults. A little on the pricier side. The presentation lived up to the hype and the portions were generous. The avocado bomb and monster roll were definitely decadent and filling. I had higher expectations for the poke bowl - the fish tasted fresh but the pieces of fish were not smooth in texture (if that makes sense?). Maybe because of the marinade but the texture of fish stood out rougher than I would prefer so this wasn't my favorite. All in all, worth a try if you haven't already. read more

I have wanted to go to this place for a very long time...It seems though that every time I wanted to go they were closed. Mostly I think I was just hitting it on their off peak hours. The Sushi Counter ( for that is all it is, there are tables out front to eat but nothing inside and they do a very brisk take out business. I can see why they encourage you to do a call in order. It takes about 15 min to get there from Downtown Blaine, where we are. It was a beautiful drive, through farmland and lovely little neighborhoods. When you do finally get there it is in the back of a convenience store, whose owners ( I assume, as they look to live out back) are super sweet and very helpful. The food in one word would be... Excellent. The Salmon Nigiri was tasty and fresh, a bit on the thin side but I understand how economics works. The Rainbow Roll was delicious. The sauce was a bit heavy but that was my fault for not asking to go light. The Skai roll was my favorite the crab salad was tasty and light the veg were crispy. The wasabi was perfection in its strength and smoothness. And Finally a Sushi restaurant that gives you enough Ginger when you ask for extra! Overall it was a delight! The owner and his wife are obviously doing what they are gifted at and the clientele know it! The bill came to about $60 with 20% tip, so about what it would be in a restaurant in the city... a bit pricy but well worth the convenience of having it right here in sleepy little Blaine. But sshhh Don't tell everyone... read more

Fantastic hidden gem! Check hours then order online (in advance) and they custom-make. it is well worth the wait (don't be impatient or attempt to insist/scold/bully to jump line--saw one tone-deaf, huffy human try to). Caring service. Accommodated a gluten free eater! Sake also sold in cooler to the right of counter. Tables in the back. Quaint and beachy! read more

Skai Sushi - Special roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Blaine, Washington

Exceptional! That's the word that perfectly describes Skai Sushi. Traveling seven hours from the East Coast for a three-hour meeting, I initially thought my trip might be wasteful. That was until I discovered Skai. The experience was worth every mile, thanks Yelp! Who would have thought you could find such a gem in a convenience store? The sushi was excellent, the portions were generous, and the presentation was remarkable. I highly recommend making the trip to experience it for yourself. The time and care they take to prepare each meal are well worth the wait. In all my dining experiences in Washington DC, nothing comes close to the quality at Skai Sushi. If I'm ever given 24 hours to travel to Bellingham, I won't complain--I'll see it as an opportunity to visit Saki again. I wish the owners continued success. read more

Legit sushi. You will be surprised because the convenience store it's in doesn't look like it should have high quality food anywhere near it. But the curtained off sushi kitchen has fit it going on. The food was ready almost to the minute from what they said. Excellent service. You can't eat there but I called in the under and it was perfectly prepared. I loved the spiciness and the flavor of the skai roll. If you're in the area, I highly recommend. read more

Skai Sushi is found inside a small convenience store. What a surprise that it offers some really GREAT fresh sushi. ONLY OPEN LIMITED HOURS so check out before you go. Better yet, place order online or by phone, so it will be ready by the time you get there. No seating available. My first experience eating Sushi was here, and I am hooked I could eat it every day. read more

What a fabulous hole in the wall place! It is located in a convenience store in a random road away from downtown Blaine. They were very busy but made time for us before they closed. We ordered Rainbow, TNT, Crunchy and Shrimp Tempura. They tasted fresh and delicious! They also have wonderful portions. Please note you need to order online which we were not aware of with being out of town. They were very nice and accommodating! Will definitely have again when we visit next. read more

We called to order ahead for takeout. Food was packed well and ready upon arrival. 2 rolls, teriyaki and gyoza were all delicious. Leftovers next day just as good! Definitely will go back. read more

Wonderful sushi in an unexpected setting! Place an order on line, with a scheduled "ready time", then pop in to pick it up. Yes, it is in a convenience store...No, it is not gas station sushi. This fish is so fresh, you will not need to dunk it in soy and Wasabi. Seriously wonderful Nigiri and rolls. We have been there twice already. The first time, we went down to Birch Bay and sat on a log and watch the sunset. The second time, we took it to Beach Cat Brewing and enjoyed it with delicious handcrafted beer, again at sunset. Highly recommend!!! read more

The sushi is amazing. And the owners are very friendly. I can't believe there is quality food in a convenience store/ market! They have a little space in the back with an order window.. must be word of mouth. So good. read more

Love their sushi and great taste! Always a good time to pick up and their ordering system is great when headed to the beach!

Located in the back of the small Birchwood Market outside of Birch Bay State Park, Skai Sushi is an unassuming (and not easy to find) little gem of a takeout window that's gained quite a local following. In fact, it was their eye-popping photos popping up on my friends' Yelp pages that drew me in for a visit on a recent summer day. I have to admit, I'm more of a traditional nigiri sushi lover and not the biggest fan of "avant garde" sushi rolls, which is mostly what Skai offers. Undaunted by the lack of my beloved nigiri, I ordered some jalapeno bombs and a spider roll. The bombs were sheer, hot, spicy amazingness. The large halved jalapenos were stuffed with crab and cream cheese, deep fried, and doused in a sweet soy sauce. The spider roll was also delicious, full of soft-shell crab and hot rice, and also topped with the sweet sauce. The portions were large and filling - I ate a few precious bites in my car then took the rest home to enjoy later. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely try another one of their amazing-sounding rolls. read more

Talk about a hidden gem. This place is tucked inside a mini mart but delivers high quality sushi rolls in an area that's desperately lacking in food options. I've tried the TNT roll and Dragon roll and both were delicious. They're large and quite saucy so even one roll is quite filling for lunch. It's easy to order online but it can be a long wait so get your order in right away. Love having this option! read more

Love their sushi! My all time favourite place to get sushi, they are a lovely family, and always make the best rolls. My favourite roll is the Rock n roll!!! It is super fun and good, it is topped with pop-rocks, sounds weird i know, but it is absolutely delicious! I always order a poke bowl if i dont know what to get, and it NEVER disappoints! The Avocado bombs are well the bomb! 1000/10 recommendations for this place read more

A truly hidden treasure was absolutely blown away by the quality and presentation and proportions from this small sushi pick up spot. I only with they had seating available to enjoy. I honestly would make a trip back up north for this sushi alone even with the lack of seating you are less than a mile from the shoreline/beach where there is plenty of space to enjoy your sushi with a spectacular view. read more

Everyone better know about this place! And if you don't, you are hangin with the wrong people or they are keeping a huge secret from you! This place ROCKS. Their selection is great, everything we have gotten is amazing! From the miso soup, the avocado bombs, to the Skai rolls, to the others, I can list them all or even remember all of them!!!! Go here! And as you pull up and think..... I can't order sushi here....... Go in and do it! Or if you can't, then it's ur loss and made the wait for someone else shorter read more

This place is one of the best Sushi's I've ever had. It is a hole in the wall (literally) inside of a general store. DEFINITELY would recommend to anybody. Cheers! read more

Excellent quality, and I'm a bit of a sushi snob! Don't be turned off by the location (inside a convenience store), they take their time to make great sushi rolls and it was worth the wait. We called on a rainy Thursday night and placed our order for pickup, and they said it was a 40 minute wait time. When I arrived it was ready to go and the staff were all very friendly and nice (and masked!). We ordered the miso soup (4/5), Birch Bay Roll (5/5), the Seattle Roll (4.5/5), and the 12pc nigiri (4/5). Everything was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We will definitely be coming here again, I can't believe this place exists in Birch Bay! read more

Great food! Very kindly service. No ambience since it is take out at the back of a convenience store.

Hidden gem! This family owned, tucked away place is soooo good. It's not for dining in, strictly takeaway but you will have no regrets no matter what you order on the menu. The portions are generous and the flavor is phenomenal. read more

Simply stellar! Every bite is masterfully made. It's wonderful to be awaken by delightful morsels that still WOW the palette. The House roll is a new favorite! Thank you Skai Sushi! read more

It must be a local secret but this is a little sushi take out in the back of the Beechwood General Store, called Skai Sushi. We've lived in Birch Bay for 2 years, and just found this place. It is not a sit down restaurant. It's a take out window! Better than any grocery store sushi, I would say. I must say however, that the gyoza was chewy, and hard to eat. Their gyoza appeared to be deep fried, not steamed and pan fried. That was the only disappointment. Order and pick up in an hour. (online ordering is temperamental. Best to email or call in your order for now) www.skaisushi.com. Tap on the Order Now button to scan the menu. ("For now we are accepting orders via phone or in person. We are working on taking orders online (mobile and desktop) in the near future.") read more

My wife and I visited the place 4 times to get sushi. It was before normal hours once, the website said they open at 11 but in person they said 3pm, we went after 3 pm and they were not open for sushi. Can you say lousy ? read more

Hidden gem for sushi in the local area. They not only have quality sushi, but also a good selection of poke bowls.

I'm no one to discredit sushi. They're a great business and quick pick up. Show up early, you can grab beer

We made the trek from Bellingham to this tiny sushi counter in a mini mart in Birch Bay and it was worth the adventure! The fish was fresh and the rolls were beautiful, if not pricier than I'm used to. It was very convenient to be able to order online, even though it wasn't quite ready in time. But we just wandered around the market until it was time! It was a great little car picnic. read more

Pretty darn good sushi for a quick market grocery store or any sushi restaurant for that matter. It's convenient as a takeout. A called in order is required which is not a problem when the place is in the neighborhood as this in Birch Bay. I'll reiterate that the sushi is well prepared and tasty plus you get to eat it in the comfort of your home. read more

Skai Sushi - Sushi at the State park! Heck yeah! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Blaine, Washington

Do not sleep on this place. Yes it is in a mini-mart, yes it takes a long time to get your food and yes it is a little pricier than the tired old teriyaki place you get California Roll from for the last ten years. You will not find better sushi in Western Washington than you do right here. I have eaten sushi all over the world including Japan and this is right up there with the best ever. I am not joking. They prepare everything with love, they even put an orchid on each dish they prepare! It is truly amazing food and anyone who knows good sushi will be thrilled to find this place. There is one negative review of this place and all the others are 5's. The one has to be a competitor who could not badmouth the food, they could only complain it wasn't open when they wanted it to be! What does that tell you? The one downside, if you can find one, is there is no sit-down table service restaurant - it's take-out only. So get a beach mat, a bottle of wine, or Sake, and order your sushi before you leave the house. When you pick it up you go down to the beach and enjoy the view or sit at a picnic bench at the state park and enjoy the view - it's heaven! Try Skai for yourself. You won't be disappointed. You would never expect o find this place where it is but when you do you will feel like you found someplace truly exceptional. read more

So far this is our absolutely favorite place to eat every time we visit Birch Bay. A totally unexpected gem in a convenience store for the Camp Grounds. Were a family with kids who love Sushi so we've been to a lot of places.. My teen feels this is the best Sushi thus far in WA & I have to agree. They are super popular so you do need to order online for pickup. Since it's just the husband wife team making everything up fresh they can't step away to take walk up orders. read more
