This place is damn good. Full stop. I'm so tired of sushi restaurants feeling like I've walked into the same spot wearing a different font. Dragon roll? Yep. Rainbow roll? Sure, love her. Fresh and delicious is table stakes at this point. What I'm actually looking for is creativity--something inventive, exciting, new. Not papier-mâché. Not arts and crafts. Just... something I haven't already eaten a hundred times. Sushi Konami absolutely gets it. The appetizers alone deserve their own standing ovation. The breaded oysters are fantastic, especially drizzled in the chili sauce on the side. And then there are the "monkey brains"- basically a large mushroom stuffed with cream cheese and crab, battered and fried into a tempura ball of joy. Does it sound like it could stop your heart after one bite? Possibly. Will you regret eating it? Absolutely not. Just bring a defibrillator and a positive attitude. The rolls are consistently unique and interesting, the kind where you read the description and think, Okay, I trust you. It honestly feels hard to go wrong here. And if you're more of a traditionalist, no worries, you can still get your dragon roll or rainbow roll and be perfectly happy. Highly recommended. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Our go-to sushi spot, and honestly only one after trying so many different ones within the area because you can't beat their combined food, service, and cost. We always get the three set combo because it's a steal and quality is always great! We go at least once a month and the host/server always remembers us :') Super sweet and every time we are there, there are visible regulars there just based on interactions we can see/hear amongst the guest and employees. Go early otherwise you'll run into their dinner rush! Even pick up orders are always flowing. I think all that tells what a great establishment Konami is! read more

Sushi Konami is awesome! I took my husband here for lunch and didn't know they also offered happy hour menu, too. Their HH is from 11 am to 5 pm for everyday (I believe). The sushi rolls are fresh and super delicious. If you also can't dine-in for sushi, you should consider the Konami Set (set of 3 rolls for $35 excluding tax / tips - you can order as many sets of 3 rolls as you wish). I always do Konami Sets (2 Konami sets = 6 rolls). The waitresses are super friendly, too. The restaurant interior is fine, so bringing someone as your date wouldn't be a bad idea. Every time I eat Konami Sushi, I sincerely appreciate the chefs for making these sushi rolls because I still refuse to roll one myself. read more

Service, food was ok, we came in on happy hour paid more then ever, and we got charged gratuity , me my wife two kids and 3yo , Didn't find it fair that they did that, I pointed it out they said they go by 5 people head count. read more

Everytime I come to this place, the servers always have the best smile. They won't rush you to order when we had to wait for friends to arrive. I got the chirashi bowl and I'm glad they let you customize it. I subbed the red tuna to seared salmon. They gave me very thick pieces and it's a great portion. The fish were very fresh and tasty! The whole place was very good, the bathroom was clean. read more

Great portions, get the Konami platter for a good deal, lots of options, so fresh you can barely taste the fish

I really liked this place. It has a cozy feel, and the food makes it obvious why people keep coming back. It feels a little more like an actual night out and a little less like you panic-ordered sushi from a strip mall because everyone was too tired to decide. Go when you want something nice without it becoming a whole event. read more

Konami is consistently a hit, and I've been coming here for years. The fish is super fresh and delicious (definitely try the sashimi sampler!) and the Konami set is a totally worthwhile deal for their fancy-but-not-top-of-the-line rolls (as opposed to the "special" rolls that run a little more). The staff are always efficient and friendly, and they'll even play the Seahawks game on TV! read more

The sushi to go was amazing and had everything I needed to enjoy a meal at home with others. Arrives fresh and delicious!

I've only ever ordered takeout from here and never had a problem! Their service has been friendly and the food is yummy. All the rolls that I've tried so far have not disappointed. I like trying atleast one new roll each time. Cant wait to order from here again! read more

Went here for a late lunch. Ordered the Best Friend, Ruby and Firecracker. Each roll was delicious! Good flavors that complimented each other. Ordered their house tea (green + brown rice) and had it over ice with lemon... so refreshing! Super cute and clean space, good music and friendly staff. Can't wait to go back! read more

I used to love sushi, Konami, but I came in tonight alone, and something strange happened. My bill was $37 and change. I paid with a $100 bill. They shortchanged me $21. I caught it. I don't think they expected me to and it almost seems like they knew. "Oh so sorry." How terribly terribly disappointing. This place was always a 5 Star place for me before and we always tipped at least 25-30%. It's going to be a while before I come back and I'm going to watch my change like a hawk. You should too. read more

Overall experience was outstanding. The fish was fresh and delicious. I had unagi and spicy tuna, 10/10. Food came out quick and the staff was great. Shout out Madelene. Great local spot, will be coming back read more

Update #3 ! So i stopped ordering the miso soup since the tofu looked awfully disintegrated everytime i ordered it and so i ordered the seaweed salad instead. It was very slimy, an indication it was soaked too long. I also ordered the Seahawks roll and was super crunchy with a bit of spice. Overall, still will continue to order my sushi here. Unfortunately, appetizers arent that great here. Will probably just order two rolls next time and save some for later. read more

Was really hoping this place would impress based on ratings and it did. Went for noon lunch on a Thursday, seated promptly in the small dining area of 7 tables for 4 plus about 6 seats at sushi bar. Just one server and 4-5 sushi chefs/cooks. Server quick but spoke so quiet we couldn't hear her but managed to get everything right. We ordered one of the lunch bento boxes $20 that included 2 protein choices and came with/ miso soup, nice mixed green salad, CA sushi roll, scoop rice and we chose teriyaki steak & chicken. Couple minutes later we ordered the 3/$35 house rolls which has many options. Oddly we got the sushi rolls before the bento box which was ok. We'll order differently next time as our meats went vary warm after eating just one of the rolls. We prefer them sizzling. Bento was impressive visually and portion wise. Nice to see salad not just basic iceberg. All great but was a bit surprised the meats weren't more tender. Usually teriyaki especially chicken nearly melts in your mouth this was tad bit dry. Maybe they don't marinate the meats. Steak good flavor and perfect pink in middle but again a bit chewy. The 3 sushi rolls were all fresh and delicious. We ordered two different spicy tuna rolls although different they were both spicier than expected so may do just one spicy next time. But again each were very good and rice to filling ratio nice. Living in Puyallup we don't have many sushi options and are just so-so. It was worth the 15-20 min. drive to go here. We will be back! Perk too is delicious doughnut shop next door. read more

Small sushi spot in our neighborhood. Easy for a quick lunch or dinner. My wife is the sushi fan, and really likes the sushi rolls here, but there are plenty of options for the non-raw fish eaters out there. Their Teriyaki Chicken is solid w a nice presentation. Quick service if you are in a hurry. Small Asian beer selection (would be nice w a few more local beers, even in cans or bottles). Service was friendly. Full restaurant on a Thursday night at 6pm so that's always a great sign. read more

This is one of the very best sushi restaurants around! The sashimi is excellent, hand rolls are perfect and the service is always friendly!

First time here yesterday and it was good! Service was quick and to the point! -the sushi chefs were friendlier than the servers which I loved! The sushi was good but the ama ebi and salmon wasn't the freshest and had a weird after taste. The ambiance was cozy. - we thought it was interesting that the server area was right when you walk in the front door... we thought we walked in the wrong door at first but that was the only door. Will be back if in the area again:) read more

Sushi cuts are fresh and big slices cuts. Their service is courtesy and fast. The bento serving is a lot. In addition to dine in, we also order pick up during happy hour and regular dinner time because their menu is Ono(delicious) and fresh! My 'ohana(family) and I will always return when we can and highly recommend. Do not eat haggens sushi. Price is just about the same, but haggens rice is hard and sushi Konami is fresh, awesome and yum yum for your tum tum! Sadly they do not have uni. read more

I mean it's OK place. If you are looking for authentic Japanese food, this place is not it. Cold sake was served with a bottle for warm sake and sake was overflowing. - Japanese restaurant would not do that. I know I am a hard grader for Japanese food. read more

The HH choices were a decent sized menu with plenty of choices, and of course the fish was fresh! The quality of fish and the structure of rolls were great! If anyone knows sushi, it's that rolling can sometimes take a while, but the wait wasn't that bad! Servers were efficient and kind! We ordered: Fried Oysters, edamame, salmon poke dome, Tokyo, and heaven of tuna rolls! I do wanna say the Hawaiian word "poke" meaning snack, should be spelt with an E not an I :) not a big deal tho! Excited to try more of the menu next time! read more

20 years ago, when I decided to leave Bellevue, several people suggested Lakeland Hills to me. I wasn't a fan of the general area and after visiting, I'll just say, this did not appear to be a place that embraced diversity. I chose to remain on the eastside, but have met more and more people from this area over the years and understand their joy in living here. I am not a sushi fan, but restaurant quality teriyaki is a meal I crave on occasion. This place currently has a score of 4.3 on Yelp, so I decided to make a lunch trip to check it out. I was a bit concerned, the Yelp page links to a website, but it's not online. Also, menu photos are years old and these days, you never know how prices have changed. That said, the menu appeared to be the same as it was years ago with very small price changes. I was hoping to do a Bento with Teriyaki, salad, rice, soup and Gyoza, it wasn't an option here. Their bento included sushi and I don't like sushi. I was tempted to ask if they would sub Gyoza making it the perfect meal, but I've found, if it's not offered, don't ask. Some people get offended when you question their menu. In this case, I decided to roll the dice and go with the Gyoza meal. It was 10 pieces, rice and soup. I was nervous when the server asked me if I wanted them deep fried. No self-respecting restaurant deep fries gyoza, but then I remembered where I was and suspect the deep frying started because someone that is not used to real Japanese food requested it and it stuck. You know, the same kind of person that would put butter on their rice. The gyoza were small, but they were also the best gyoza I've had in a long time, possibly a decade or more. Flavorful, juicy and delicious. The miso soup was also served at a completely unsafe heat, but I loved it. Food should be served hot and soup should sizzle, If I don't have to slurp my soup, or blow on it, you haven't done your job! The soy sauce was also made in house, it had that savory, salty liquor taste that you can't get out of a bottle. This place had 5-star potential, but I have some knocks. The portions were small; however, they were in line for the price paid. My lunch was $12 I would have happily paid $15 for the same meal with 2 more gyoza and a small salad, or $17 for the same with two scoops of rice. I left hungry because the portion wasn't hearty enough, but not so hungry that an additional side made sense. Personally, two scoops of rice or a bigger scoop is a must, that was the smallest portion of rice I've seen anywhere. If I were closer, this would be a weekly spot, unfortunately this is just out of the way for me. Better combo/bento options would make this place 5-star in my book and probably draw a bigger crowd. read more

The best Sushi place around, and we've tried them all. The value and quality are awesome!

One of our favorite local sushi places so close to home! Service is always quick and friendly. Even though it's not a very large place, we usually can get seated pretty quickly. Noise level still allows for intimate conversation without feeling like we have to raise our voice. Mostly see smaller parties and families/couple Their 3 rolls for $35 is a great deal. We always try to get a new/different roll each time. The raw fish has always been fresh, no complaints from any of our party afterwards, which with some sushi places , you never know. We enjoy getting to see them prepare the dishes when we're seated at the bar. Some of our favorites: Chicken karrage with spicy Mayo (we've had this at other places and this is our favorite spot to get it) Edamame Gyoza Golden Cali Vegas roll Sashimi Ensemble (raw bar) Anything with salmon! read more
