The humble maki roll is the star of this tiny takeout spot in Capitol Hill (don't let the street name fool you; it's not in Bellevue!!) Fully customized to your design, you select your fish type (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, you name it..) and toppings (2-3 depending on size) and Jin will make it fresh for you on the spot. If you prefer not to wait, you can order online first and it'll send you a lovely email when it's ready for pickup. The maki are filled nicely with a good ratio of fish to toppings to rice. I did an order of salmon + masago + avocado and a yellowtail + green onions + pickled red onions (on the side). No matter what combination you choose, the standard roll is $10. If you want something heftier, they have a big maki roll for $16 and you can put 2 proteins in! They also have hand rolls if you're just looking for a little snack. I dipped my sushi in some of the provided soy sauce and it was perfect. Next thing I knew, there wasn't any left and I wished I ordered more. read more

Sushi Maki - Salmon Sushi Maki Special with You Choice of Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sushi Maki is such a great neighborhood spot! It wasn't super busy when I went so it took about 15 minutes to make my large maki. The waiting area is a bit small so I recommend waiting outside if the weather is manageable! Doing the double albacore instead of 2 different proteins was a good move, the fish and veggies were super fresh and the large maki was the perfect amount for 1 dinner. Will be coming back again soon! It was about $19 after tax and tip :) read more

--Location/Parking-- I stumbled on this place walking along a side street looking for a coffee shop to get out of the rain. There is only street parking, which I can see people coming and going wasn't an issue. --Ambiance-- Small only two people standing room to place an order from the door. Most people waited outside like I did. There is no seating or restroom. This is strictly a to-go place. --Service/Staff-- The cashier which I want to say is the owner was friendly and prompt getting my order started right away. --Food/Products-- I can see why this place started to have a crowd there were a lot of people placing to-go orders and the sushi quality speaks for itself. Great sushi rolls. I will be back to try other things on the menu. --Capacity-- No seating or restroom. Strictly a to-go place. --Overall-- Highly recommended for the quality of sushi you are getting. The freshness can be tasted with each individual bite. I recommend it again and again. read more

The food was fine. The service wasn't. I walked in and said I had a pickup, and instead of a simple "What's the name?" I got "I need more than that" -- unnecessarily condescending. Basic courtesy isn't hard. A little professionalism goes a long way. I feel like most of the Korean owned places, the staffs are inherently rude for no reason. I even found the guy's hair in my chirashi. read more

Tasty, fresh sushi takeout on the Hill! Cute takeout counter in Capitol Hill near Knee High Stocking, Melrose Market area. Menu comprises largely sushi rolls, fish is fresh and rolls are beautifully made. Recommend the seared salmon roll, spider roll with fried soft shell crab, Geisha roll (salmon with bay shrimp mayo, topped with unagi and avocado). Speedy service, online ordering available. This is strictly takeout (tiny counter). Prices are very reasonable - a good find on the Hill! read more

Sushi Maki - Delicious rolls - get the Seared salmon! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Just went by at 6:15pm on Thursday, right in the middle of their dinner open hours, but the lights were off, the door was locked, and no one was there. I was pretty bummed because I checked the hours and their online ordering was on. It seems as though this spot has changed their hours but it isn't reflected on the door or online. read more

I love this place. Affordable simple rolls and sushi and always perfect since it's right in the neighborhood. I do wish they were more consistent when they are open. I almost never can get them on the phone to order and when I go it's hot or miss if they are open during their listed open hours. Still love the place and it's definitely worth checking out. read more

This is a super hole-in-the-wall joint in Cap Hill that is very much suited for take out orders as there is very little space in the actual restaurant itself. I ordered online via Yelp and then walked over to pick up my food, and everything was super easy. Ordered a total of 4 rolls for dinner -- geisha roll, bay special roll, nori nori roll, and Seattle special roll. The geisha and bay special rolls were delicious, and everything tasted very fresh. However, when it came to the nori nori and Seattle special rolls, we were a bit disappointed in the quality of the avocado used as there were many black dots in the avocado itself. Not sure how big of an issue this is but I have never seen this in any other sushi rolls I have had before. We ended up not eating a few pieces of the nori nori and Seattle special rolls for this reason. Hope this is just a one-time issue as this was our first time trying Sushi Maki... read more

SUSHI MAKI IS THE BEST !!! i have been coming here since 2015, and it's easily become my favorite sushi spot in all of seattle. min and jin, the owners, are absolute sweeties and put so much hard work into their business. their small takeout-only shop is cozy and welcoming with a friendly atmosphere, and even friendlier service. food is ready quick, and never compromises on quality, the sushi is extremely consistent and delicious. i like to order the salmon lover's combo, with a side of avocado roll - i don't trust the nigiri at most sushi places but the cut of fish is always perfect at sushi maki. i could not recommend this place enough, and always tell out-of-town friends to stop by if they're in the capitol hill area. i love you sushi maki read more

Sushi Maki - Salmon Lover with You Choice of Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I used to go here a lot. But now, Sushi Maki is rarely open during their listed business hours.

Sushi Maki located somewhat hidden. You gotta pay attention to the door. It is a very tiny sushi store. We went on 12/30/22 and was raining outside. The lady was very nice and welcoming us. She has been making sushi with her coworker for 11 years. It is a hidden gem. The price is very fair. They only do take out! The sushi rolls were well wrapped and fish was fresh. Boyfriend ordered two vegetarian rolls and I ordered ones with eels and ny rolls. All of them are tasty. Def would go again if we are in the area! read more

I was so impressed by how fresh the fish here is! I ordered the Chef's Special and Geisha Roll. As folks here have mentioned, this is meant to be a pick-up and go spot (no seating). Definitely place your order online in advance to avoid waiting. The Chef's Special is definitely very worth it value-wise, with all the food you get. But for me, was a bit difficult to eat (the rolls themselves are pretty large!). read more

Sushi Maki - Salmon avocado delicious - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow some of the best/freshest sushi I've had in a while. Will definitely be coming back. Food: Geisha roll (11.75): Salmon avocado with shrimp and Mayo, topped with eel and more avocado. This is a flavor combo I didn't know I needed but I'm so glad I got. I tried the eel and salmon separately as well and both were really high quality. The salmon was flavorful, buttery, fresh and not too fishy and they didn't skimp on the size of the salmon pieces! Yellowtail nigiri (2.50): thick fresh piece of fish, so flavorful. Sushi rice was great quality and complimented the fish perfectly Albacore nigiri (2.50): large and fresh as well *side note: I really appreciated that the ginger and wasabi were provided in a separate cup since I don't like either and I hate when it's squeezed into the same box/transfers ginger flavor to half of the sushi Inside/service: This is truly a hole in the wall place with just enough space to stand inside and order but they do a good job with wearing masks and spraying/sanitizing the payment station. Cashier was really nice/sweet and service was pretty quick. Came for lunch around 11:30 and waited ~15 minutes read more

Very friendly staff, food was great, ambience was great. I had 3 to go orders packed very nicely and neat. I really wanted to post a pic but we dug in so quick and it was gone! We had the steak and chicken teriyaki. Will definitely go again! read more

I've had Sushi Maki bookmarked for years and years, and today I finally found myself hungry for some sushi and about a block away. The cashier/server was very nice and I enjoyed my interactions with her. She was very... calm. That was really nice. I love nigiri and like leaving most of the decisions to the chef, so I was happy to discover that they have a combination option that includes five pieces of nigiri, a spicy tuna roll, and miso soup. The sushi was simple and it wasn't outstanding, but it was good. I enjoyed it. The spicy tuna roll was much bigger than I thought it would be, which was a pretty pleasant surprise. Mindblowing sushi? No. Lovely in a very simple way? Yes... that sounds about right. I like this spot. read more

Sushi Maki - Sushi Combination! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here having heard that this place has good sushi for the price. I ordered spicy tuna, new York, and spicy salmon for take out = $24 Not a great deal, especially since they were bad. Rice on the rolls were sticky and salty. It made the rolls really dense and the salty flavor ruined the balance of fish & rice. I took off all the rice and ate it with rice my husband made at home. Neither of the spicy rolls were even remotely spicy. The sushi chef was stingy with wasabi. I only got 2 little dabs for 3 rolls. I had to ask twice for her to reluctantly give me another pinch. This is minor, but menu is all over the place. There are So many rolls and are divided into unnecessary categories There are sushi restaurants all over Seattle, and there is absolutely no reason to ever visit this place again. read more

Good maki rolls, and literally the biggest pieces of sashimi I've ever seen in my life. Quiet little neighborhood spot. If the weather is nice, they have a couple small tables on the sidewalk you can eat at. No booze sold here. read more

Someone mentioned that it is just grocery store sushi, which I completely agreed. Nothing really special.

Not only is the sushi amazing, but the service is so quick, and the owners are always so kind and welcoming when you come to pick up your order. Just two people run this whole business and they deserve every bit of support they receive :) read more

Discovering this little spot near my apartment has changed my LIFE. I know that's dramatic, but this is genuinely my favorite place to get food in all of Seattle. It's my weekly treat!! It's ready quickly, the people running it are incredibly sweet, and the portions are large considering the quality and the price. If you live in the neighborhood, this should be a regular spot. I don't know if I've ever had better and more consistent sushi! read more

Highly recommend you try Chef Special Sushi Bomb ! It's definitely a bomb Me and my friends did know it was that big, so after we received our order, the bomb roll and other rolls were too much for dinner with only 3 of us by accident lol but anw, it's worth !!!!!!! read more

Pretty good for a lil window. Convenient and cool lil spot to grab sushi really quick. Can put in phone orders and show up for pickup.

The 777 I ordered through eat 24, with shrimp tempura and cream cheese, was definitely above average, but I was pretty shocked at how little I got (6 pieces) for almost $11. The avocado roll was even smaller, though somewhat reasonably priced at about $5. I couldn't really justify eating it again for the price. read more

Best classic sushi I've ever had. Nothing fancy or crazy but everything was so delicious and fresh.

So as everyone else has already mentioned, this is NOT a sit down place. There is only a small table inside for two people. Came here to try it out since this place had pretty good reviews. I checked out the menu on Yelp first and the prices seemed reasonable. But don't be fooled because the Yelp pictures are VERY old and the prices are not the same at all anymore. My total order included 6 sushis and 12 relatively small maki pieces and it was 25$ WITH the 10% Yelp discount. That's like going to Momiji during happy hour, tips included. The taste itself was really average. Something in the rolls was so salty that you really don't want to add any more soy sauce. They're maybe just slightly fresher than what you'd get at a supermarket. The sushis had pretty generous slices of fish on them though so at least that's that. There was a lunch menu that had more reasonable prices. I MIGHT go back for that one day but definitely not getting dinner there again. read more

Very fast and easy online ordering! (Due to Covid). When I arrived to pick up my order they were very cautious on social distancing and were very thankful for my business. The sushi was just what I needed. The spicy tuna was delicious! Better than most for spicy tuna. The 777 was very creamy but I enjoyed it. I will order from them again! read more

Have been going to this place for over a decade now. Food is amazing and their quality is consistent. Sushi places have come and gone, but Sushi Maki is the benchmark for good sushi in Seattle for me. It's a great takeout spot. If you live in Capitol Hill this is a great spot to pick up dinner on your way home after work. Would recommend calling ahead to place your order. Some days the wait can be about 30-40 minutes during 6 - 8 pm peak. Typical wait time is about 15-20 minutes. They have Hawaiian style Pokè bowls as well. It's called Donbury bowls. It's better than Pokè bowls from most dedicated pokè joints. read more

Ensure you place your order online, they refused to take my order at the store and had no space to wait there. Also, there are very limited Vegetarian friendly options and they don't do any substitutions !! read more

Sushi Maki had good sushi and a great deal for their lunch special: 3 rolls for $20. Salmon & Avocado, Tuna & Avocado & 777. There more selections but these ones are my fave for lunch special. Nice and hearty. There is no place to sit inside- it's very tiny. There is a table outside. It's just a take out sushi. Their hours are different opens for lunch from 11-2pm and then closes but opens for dinner at 5-10pm. They are closed on Saturday and Sunday. But they will close earlier before 2pm!! So get there before 1:30pm!! I learned my lesson twice! Pretty reasonable sushi. They give you free hot tea while you wait. Friendly and nice. It's nice to have a take out sushi. Great little sushi place for good deals. What a rare treat on Capitol Hill. read more

I like this little joint. Don't plan on sitting down to eat unless you are only a single person as your group. There are maybe seats for 4 inside but the restaurant resembles a large closet to me. However, sushi was made very well. Lunch special 3 rolls (of 6 pieces) for $20. That's a steal! Fish was super fresh and flavors were well balanced and simple. I like that Sushi Maki has more of an authentic feel compared to these over-priced fusion hot spots that are all over Seattle. Service was excellent! With only room for two workers behind the counter, we did have to wait for 30 min, but we placed a big order of the 3 specials and she made it right there on the spot. I could see her making the rolls. Staff was very polite in asking if we would be okay waiting and offered delicious tea and candies while we wait. So we walked around the neighborhood a bit & came back to get our sushi. it was very Yummy! I'll be back here for sure! :) read more

Zero stars if I could, absolutely horrible customer service ( other restaurants deserve your time, don't waste it on this place, people are awful and unkind and know nothing of how to treat customers ) also the food is barely sub par ( coming from someone who used to really like this place but boy have they gone downhill and no not because of the pandemic, overall awful ) truly one of the worst experiences I've ever had, it's unfortunate the rudeness that led me to write this. Don't waist your time here :( read more

There's something slightly charming about eating sushi outside on the sidewalk next to an idle car, but at the same time I'm not too crazy about petroleum-garnished sushi. This is definitely a take out only location. We came by for lunch and I ordered their Shrimp Tempura Roll + California Roll + Inari Combo set. For $12, the lunch special contained really big rolls with a lot of food (soup and lots of rice!) -- alas it was bland. read more
