    Got to try this spot during the CID night market and I thought the karaage chicken was pretty good. Food came out quickly and the vibe of the restaurant is pretty cool.

    All of the rolls and nigiri's have more rice than I would like I'm assuming so you can't eat as much, the rice is well seasoned and the fish is fresh and good we had 68 pieces some of the maki's and rolls had hard avocado that was not fully ripened the hamachi was good the service was quick we were there for around 55 min and we got 8 scoops of ice cream cookie ice cream and strawberries half half The music was loud and interesting choice we sat near the front near the speaker and the seating was comfortable mostly clean table and one note was the wasabi or ginger was not very good.

    Great experience meeting with friends in Seattle for lunch! Parking was a bit challenging but we found a spot around the corner from the restaurant. $6.00 + service fee for 2 hours versus street parking $5 per hour. Since we went during lunch at about 1pm, it wasn't very crowded at all which was great for us. All you can eat $25 per person or ala cart. Sushi was delicious! Fresh! Waiter was super fast and timely! They have a bar for drinks if interested. See attached pics for sushi rolls.

    We got here around 3:45pm and still qualified for lunch pricing! ($25.95) you order on a tablet and are able to order 15 items every 15mins. They also charge $14.99/lb for leftovers. Sushi was delicious & came in full sizes. The rolls didn't have too much rice and came with plenty of proteins & veggies. My favorite was the seared salmon, I wish I made more room in my tummy for those. Service was great and the decor is nice.

    Our daughter went here for the first time last night. I stopped by with her dad to drop something off, and she mentioned that if we were in the mood for sushi, this place was open -- so we decided to try it. Right away, I loved the vibe. The restaurant feels like you're in Asia, which I really enjoyed. We were lucky and got seated immediately -- it was the last open booth. The waiter brought water right away and explained the menu options (all-you-can-eat or à la carte). We chose à la carte. Once we ordered, the food took a bit of time to come out, and appetizers arrived as they were ready rather than all at once. So if you know what you want, I recommend ordering everything at the beginning. That said -- the food was amazing. The fish was very fresh and full of flavor. I'm gluten-free and didn't use any sauce at all, and everything still tasted incredible. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on top of their service, which really says a lot. They've been open for about a year now, and it's refreshing to see that both the food quality and service are still excellent. I've seen many small businesses start strong and then decline after the first year -- that's not the case here. And it's very reasonably priced. Between my husband and me, we ordered three rolls, a few nigiri and sashimi, soup, edamame, and two teas. With tip, it came to about $100. We'll definitely be back.

    food was okay. came for AYCE dinner. there was a weird smell in the restaurant, kind of ruined the vibe a Lil bit. fish to rice ratio was uneven, there was more rice than fish. rice was also overseasoned, they might have put too much rice vinegar.

    Such a great AYCE sushi spot in the international district. Service was quick and we definitely ordered more than we could eat but felt like they had a great selection of different rolls and other dishes. The seating was nice, you weren't too close to other tables and the servers were mindful of my friend's allergy when we notified them of it. Value for cost was great, come hungry.

    Fish was good. Especially the salmon belly. I also liked the avocado salad and seared salmon. My only real drawback was the rice portions were huge! I mean it was a crazy amount of rice. I came here for lunch I'm sure dinner has more options but be wary of the golfball sized rice balls with the nigiri lol

    Nut allergy friendly: Had no issues here and didn't have to flag anything. For a city with so much access to seafood, I'm shocked there aren't more AYCE sushi places. I guess Seattle thrives on higher end sushi experiences. I made the 40 minute trek from Capitol Hill (would suggest not walking and taking the light rail to the international district; I walked through some very questionable areas) to meet up with a friend at one of the only AYCE sushi places we could find. Seated easily around 2:40PM. The restaurant was at varying capacity while I was there, with some larger groups, a few solo people, etc. There's plenty of seating (more space in the back). The lunch special price does not include sashimi, so I did not have any sashimi. There was a persistent strange smell in the air.. almost musky or humid? Food came out relatively quickly, within 10 minutes of ordering on the iPad. - The Garlic edamame was fine - extremely garlic-sauce heavy. - Miso soup was also fine, relatively light. - We ordered several rolls (Rainbow, something else) and I found them INCREDIBLY rice-heavy. They're clearly trying to fill you up with rice here. - Nigiri tasted fine; also relatively dense on rice and the fish was okay. Maki, similar. - We got the Torched Tuna, which was even more dense rice but I think I preferred the texture a bit relative to the sushi. More like a crispy / chewy rice. - They did have a matcha ice cream that was not on the kiosk (normally dessert)? but were kind enough to give us a scoop. Overall, it scratches an itch but barely so. Wouldn't really recommend unless you're ready with an appetite, or upgrade to the sashimi. Even then, the fish quality is passable, nothing crazy being done here. The "torched" rolls were something unique but quite heavy on the rice overall. Honestly a little surprised that there are far better AYCE sushi options in the South than in Seattle.

    Good sashimi and rolls, but a more difficult ordering method and some mediocre items. I thought most of the items here were quite good - the sashimi was all good, especially the escolar and salmon. The rolls were also good - they are all 8 pieces though so be careful how many you order. The eel in the hand roll was also great, and the tempura was fresh and hot. I didn't particularly like the "torch" items, which had a lot of rice and sugar on top - the sugar was a bit weird imo and the fish to rice ratio wasn't worth it. The hand roll also had more rice than I would like. The ordering system is odd - only 15 items per order, and 15 mins between each order. And orders take more than 15 minutes to fill. This meant that we felt like we had to fill the 15 each order and we over ordered since we didn't know portion sizes. Overall though, it was great - the important stuff (fish and rolls) were good, the fried sides were good, there were plenty of options, and we left having eaten our fill. I would definitely go back!

    Sashimi & Nigiri
    Jacques I.

    Every all-you-can-eat-sushi spot always seems too good to be true because why would something expensive like fish at endless amounts be sold at an affordable price? Yeah, it's never as good as it seems, and this is very much the case for Sushi%AYCE. We decided to check out Sushi%AYCE for dinner, which was an A-OK experience. We went around 4pm, so were able to be seated immediately. However, by the time we left, there was a line of people, waiting to get a table. I truly don't see why though after eating here. The menu does offer different sushi items, with some small plates. You have two hours to dine in, and they actually time you as soon as you sit down. You're given a tablet to place orders. You can place up to 15 items, but must wait 15 minutes to place the next order. When you try to order before 15 minutes, they will warn you that you have a certain amount of time until you can place your next order. We ordered mostly sashimi and nigiri, which did come out in a short time for our first and second rounds. However, everything started to slow down quickly. We would place an order for food and wouldn't get it for so long that it would be time for us to place another order. The issue is that we didn't want to order too much until our order before came and we'll be charged for any leftover food. We would wait up to 20-30 minutes for food to arrive. By the time our two-hour limit was up, they would hand us plates that were ordered half an hour ago. We told the staff this, so they were able to waive this for us. But the timing of all of this is ridiculous. And it's not like it's worth the wait. The cuts of the sashimi are smaller than what you'd expect. They were half the size of sashimi you'd order anywhere else, so of course you'll have to keep ordering more if you even get it on time. All you can eat actually means all you can wait here. I wouldn't recommend.

    I modified the firecracker and dynamite rolls
    Kim C.

    I have been trying to find some good baked sushi for months now. I drove from Renton on my lunch to get my to go order. I modified the firecracker roll to have a California roll base and asked for no salmon on the dynamite roll. I was nervous because this was my first time and I was expecting them not to modify my rolls. However, they did allow my modifications and everything was delicious. I definitely over ordered, their rolls are very large and filling. I will definitely be back and will bring my friends and family. My two rolls were about $30. They are an AYCE place, inside is small so I can imagine they get quite busy. I'm so glad I tried this place out. Parking is on the street or pay lots only and located in the middle of the international district.

    Sushi%Ayce is a solid All you can eat Sushi spot in the International district in Seattle. It's well priced considering the offerings. It's not a gourmet, omakase, type place, but it has a large selection of rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and appetizers. Everything tasted great and was fresh. The service was nice and we got our food quickly! Atmosphere was good! Nice seating selection. We'd happily return when we have a craving!

Our server was also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gluten allergies, which made ordering so easy. They were very accommodating and helped us feel confident about what I could safely eat. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Seattle! Plus they are open later than many restaurants, which accommodated our 9pm arrival in Seattle.

    Immediately upon entry of Umi you can tell that this is where all of the cool kids are hanging out…read morein Seattle. You should prepare your entire party ahead of time to stretch their vocal cords before your night out, otherwise you will not be able to hear each other. I'm not sure what is going on with the acoustics inside of Umi, but it is insanely loud (it might not be that way for everyone though, I do have a hearing problem). Umi is the Japanese word for ocean, which is very fitting since you can order any fish possible here. And somehow, my homie that I was with decided to order a steak. I can't fault him, he was ravenous at the time. Admittedly, the steak looked fantastic as well. My other homie is a vegetarian. And even though this is not the most vegetarian-friendly establishment, he was still able to have a nice meal. He explained to me that he is a tofu connoisseur, so we ordered the Agedashi tofu. I've never had tofu prepared this way, and it was some of the best I've ever had. It was bathing in a dashi broth, which was the perfect level of saltiness, almost like a miso soup. The tofu was fried, and when you let it sit in the broth for a bit, it creates a fantastic consistency to each bite. In order to test the true caliber of a sushi spot, you have to try a specialty roll. I was feeling a little spicy that day, so I elected for the Knockout. It didn't exactly knock me out, but I was impressed. First of all, this roll was a looooooong boy special. I always prefer sushi to be made this way, because if a roll is only 6 pieces, the experience is over far too quickly. The roll itself was very enjoyable, and I even convinced Mr Steak to have a bite (he seemed to like it too). A little bit of truffle oil took this thing to the next level, they're definitely innovating in the world of sushi over here. I'd love to come back and try more rolls from the extensive menu here. Maybe something like the Hottie Roll, which was my nickname in high school.

    I wanted to go out for sushi with my parents, so i settled on this place. great gem in cap hill…read more loved the little japanese tea garden in the middle of the restaurant. lots of seating, and there were still people waiting on a Wednesday night. the servers were attentive and speedy. they brought some edamame over. delicious. No notes or critiques I love edamame. To drink, I had one of their specialty cocktails. It was their take on a spicy Marg. It was honestly a stellar drink. It was a perfect balance of citrus and spice. I would order this drink again without a doubt good presentation too. We had the toro sampler which came with three different types of Toro with three different toppings. It was cool to get to try the different types of Toro, and I enjoyed tasting them side-by-side to see the differences. The toppings were one of their house, sauces, fried garlic, and chives. I enjoyed the house sauce the best. I was also looking forward to the Crispy Rice which came with crispy rice w/ salmon roe, wasabi aioli, & aonori with spicy tuna. You could choose what type of fish went on it, but obviously we got tuna. This was a yummy bite. Came out piping hot. Beautiful presentation. The tuna was perfectly prepared. The salmon roll was an interesting touch but actually worked well. I think it's sacrilegious to go out for sushi and not get miso soup, so We also added a miso soup to our order. Solid miso soup. No critiques. Came out piping hot. Because I felt like we needed a vegetable, we had the House Spring Mix which came with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes & cucumber w/ spicy garlic ponzu. I enjoy the salad dressings at Japanese restaurants because I feel like they're very distinct. I don't think this one was as distinct, but it was still good. The cherry tomatoes weren't mushy at all, which I appreciated. I do enjoy a spring mix, but Romain or arugula will always have my heart. Moving onto rolls. We started with the Capitol Hill Roll which came with snow crab mix, avocado & cucumber topped w/ seared salmon, scallions, tobiko, sweet aioli, sweet chili & soy glaze. This was my favorite roll of the night, but I would love to go back and try some of their other rolls. They have a huge menu. I love a sushi that has seared salmon, but IDK if that still makes it sushi. My dad loves asparagus, so we got the El Diablo shrimp tempura, shibazuke & asparagus topped w/ seared snow crab legs, pico de gallo & chipotle. It wasn't the most traditional roll, but I did enjoy it. I probably wouldn't order it again when there's so many other good things to try on their menu, but Im glad that I got to try two rolls. Because we're celebrating my mom's birthday, they brought ice cream. It was a solid ice cream, even though we just got vanilla. It had good flavoring, even for vanilla.

We ordered quite a few things to share but these were my favorites: - Uni Seafood Creamy Maze-Udon: best item here imo. Creamy, rich, and topped with a variety of fresh seafood. Definitely the most memorable dish of the meal. - Tokyo Shoyu Ramen: Yummy! The broth was light but flavorful and the noodles had a nice chew and grabbed onto the soup really well. The veggies added a nice crunch. - Bara-Chirashi Donburi: Super fresh with a nice variety of high quality fish and perfectly seasoned. No additional soy sauce needed but I did ask for extra wasabi. We also tried a couple other items. All were good but nothing that particularly stood out. Glad I checked this place out while I was in Seattle! I enjoyed the meal but with so many places to eat in the city, it probably wouldn't be on my must-visit-again list.

    If you love sushi, this is now on your food bucket list. Don't question me…read more We came about 45 minutes before it closed. Had two boxes made for 18 pieces. They weight your sushi to calculate the cost so you can go as much or as little as you'll like. When in line, you should go to the front to quickly to see what's available so you can mentally figure out which ones you want then go back to your spot. The line moves very quickly so think fast! After picking your box, you go down the bar and fill your box as you go. Then when you reach at the end of the bar they weigh your sushi. Our boxes was ~$48 total. Then against the wall, you get your utensils, Ginger, wasabi , soy sauce , or eel sauce. There are some seats inside and outside.. but it is so busy , most people take their boxes to go. We sat against the windows and the table was slightly dirty but that's because we took the seats as soon as someone left them. There wasn't much seating left. They spoil you soooo much with their sushi. They had a great ratio of sushi:nonsushi and sometimes more so in your favor. Near the end I was so full I ended up eating the nonsushi bits off the rice and, surprisingly , it was still a heavily amount per sushi. When we left, it was closing time and there was still a huge line outside!

    I've tried the Seattle location and this one?!?? Yummy…read more Alright we start with parking, I'll be honest, we parked at an offsite parking and walked to the location. Easy walk and less stress, that's for sure. We tried to locate it and missed it a couple times. It's around the corner of the bldg or if your in the bldg that gps tells you, go downstairs. Lol So we found it and it's also half poke bar. Easy to navigate the line. You pick what you want and place them in the size of box of choice. So much variety and amazing quality. This pieces are ginormous!! We thought we got just a good amount but we had LEFTOVERS. It's a nice spot, casual and great amount of seating. The pricing is so good!! Especially for delicious sushi. It may not be your authentic traditional simple nigiri but just know, your tastebuds will be very happy. Mine were. Now to take the hubby since it was me and my daughter's date

    Cozy place for a special occasion. Small restaurant. Appears family run…read more Price point for the quality of fish and thickness of cut is reasonable. The popular sashimi plate had sockeye salmon, scallops, king salmon, yellowtail, snapper, and shima aji. 3-4 slices per fish so total about 20ish pieces for $ 75 dollars. Also included salmon roe. Ask which fish is in the plate since it seems to change. Service was good. They serve distilled water which is appropriate for eating raw dish so you actually taste the fish and not the tap water. The star of the night was the miso black cod. Soft buttery and flavorful. Just enough miso to bring out the sweetness of the fish. Some may find it not flavorful enough. It depends on if you are looking for fish flavor or seasoning flavor in my opinion. The only down side is that it's a fatty cut of fish so by the third piece it can be a bit heavy. Ended up cutting the fat with a bit of lemon toward the end and using the shredded pink diakon. For the price of $ 17 dollars, it is quite a good deal as other spots in the area would charge more or give less.

    I found out about the oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle 20 minutes before I ate there for the…read morefirst time. I was around the corner (literally) at a cafe, learning about the history of Seattle's Japantown, when I decided to look up recommendations of restaurants in the district to eat at. Maneki came up, and right after I read about how difficult it is to eat there as a walk-in without a reservation, I looked at the time and realized they were about to open for the evening. So I thought, "challenge accepted," and was in front of their doors in about 30 seconds. There was no one waiting and I was pretty shocked; it wasn't until 5:00 on the nose that other people walked up and got in line behind me, most without reservations. So if you're trying to do a walk-up, don't wait until 5:00 to get in line. Get there early. The owner was nice when I told her I didn't have a reservation and she said while all her tables were full, she had bar seating open if I was interested. I said yes, so I was seated in the Hannya Room (and happened to be wearing my Yakuza Majima sukajan with a hannya on the back) with a handful of other people (bar seating is very limited, maybe 12 seats tops, and the room is very narrow). The bartender was cool and offered to take our phones and take photos of the specials on the wall in the foyer so we all didn't have to walk back over there. I actually ended up getting one of the specials, the chicken katsu cutlet with beef curry. From the regular menu, I got a yaki onigiri and some gyoza (which are described as grandma's recipe and handmade), and from the bar I ordered the reggae punch cocktail (Iichiko saiten shochu, peach schnapps, and cold brew oolong tea). The regular menu is extensive, with a lot of comfort dishes and signature dishes I haven't seen elsewhere. Whether you want meat or seafood, there's something for everyone here. The meal was absolutely delicious. The only thing I didn't care for, unfortunately, was the yaki onigiri, because I felt the shoyu they used was just way too sweet. Yaki onigiri is one of my most favorite things on the planet, and Ippuku in Berkeley makes them perfectly. I was expecting the one at Maneki to be on that level, but I was disappointed. But other than that, the curry had great flavor and bit of a kick of heat, and wasn't skimpy on the beef. Lots of potato, too. The katsu was breaded and fried perfectly and the cutlet was pretty generously sized. The gyoza were great, not oily, each one stuffed with meat. I enjoyed the reggae punch and would order it again. I also ordered a glass of iced oolong, so I was feeling pretty refreshed on this warm afternoon with my two drinks. The bartender, who was handling both drinks and food service, was a nice guy with a good sense of humor. The owner also chatted with me on my way out and gave me a little history about why they decided to name the bar the Hannya Room, and some background on all the hannya masks on the wall in the bar. I'd love to come back here the next time I'm in Seattle, but especially to be able to dine in one of the tatami rooms. This was a great meal and it was awesome being able to support this important part of the local history of Seattle's Japantown.
