the interior is so cute!!! there's a big tree with lights, bar seating, booths and even a patio. i love how the restaurant is decorated. the restaurant was clean and spacious. the fish ratio to rice is great for the price! the fish and ingredients are all fresh! the salmon skin roll was perfectly crispy and the salmon nigiri was so good and nice and tender and fatty! the ramen was only $10 and was actually so good especially for the price! the noodles were thin, the pork in the soup was so tender and the broth was very flavorful. the service was really good! our waitress cleared a booth immediately for us. she was very thorough with our order and she was super friendly and sweet! they also serve korean fried chicken here but honestly, i was very surprised why this place isn't packed! i HIGHLY recommend trying this place out! we will definitely be back:) read more

Horrible service all around. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. The service was painfully slow, and after waiting a long time, I realized they had completely forgotten my order. What made it even worse was that no one apologized or acknowledged the mistake. I felt completely ignored the entire time. Mistakes happen, but a simple apology and some communication would have gone a long way. Instead, I was left waiting without any updates, and when my food finally came out (which I had to get to-go because it took so long), there was no recognition of the inconvenience. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I can't recommend this restaurant to anybody. read more

If this review was based on the fried chicken alone- it would be 5 stars. Dont skip on the chicken out here. The sushi and ramen are ok- they do the job and it's nice that you can get smaller portions of sushi for the ultimate girl dinner. But truly if you come here, get the Korean fried chicken. You won't regret it. read more

It pains me to give such a low score for this place. The people were very nice and attentive and the restaurant is spacious. Bonus points for K-pop fans because they blast their music videos on the TV. However, this might be one of the worst sushi restaurants in Seattle because the fish was just not fresh. We got a mixture of nigiri's and rolls and every bite, we wondered if food poisoning were to come later that night. Maybe they don't keep the raw fish at temperature safe when it's out on display, but the raw fish was as fishy as my dog's breath with his fish oil. For the rolls, it's mayo and eel sauce explosion to cover up whatever they are trying to hide. One of the rolls we got was the "monkey brains" and we could not tell what was inside. Never a good sign. Luckily, neither of us got sick, but also, we didn't finish any of the items. read more

Really loved their kindness for solo diners. Really loved the fact that their specialty rolls also have the option of coming in half servings or full servings. I was able to do half dragon roll and half red dragon roll so it was perfect! Their Korean fried chicken is also delicious and fried to perfection. Highly recommend read more

I was absolutely heartbroken when I learned that katsu Burger closed at this location, but I could not have asked for a better new business in its place. We had dinner here earlier this week and loved their extensive menu and affordable prices. This is the perfect spot to come with a group and try a handful of different items. Everything from their ramen to their sushi rolls to their their Korean fried Chicken was great and we loved being able to share and split items. Something that I've rarely seen at other restaurants is the ability to get a half roll size. It was really nice that they're also wasn't a large up charge to do this. While I'll always miss katsu Burger, there are a few other locations and I'm so happy to have this new sushi ramen and chicken spot in Ballard read more

Got a poke bowl and a roll. The fish unfortunately had a weird texture and didn't taste fresh. Food was mid. On a positive note, the restaurant ambience and decor was nice, and hostess was busy but efficient. read more

I would agree with another reviewer @SR T. The staff at this new sushi spot is very kind and helpful, and the décor is cute and simple. We went on a weeknight and were seated right away. We ordered the miso ramen, veggie roll, miso soup, and sesame balls for dessert. The ramen portion was generous for the price, though the flavor was a bit bland. The veggie roll lacked crunch, and the miso soup had an odd aftertaste. We were expecting the sesame balls to have the soft, mochi-like texture we've had at other sushi restaurants, but these were deep-fried and tasted mostly of the oil, possibly reused, rather than sesame. The prices are extremely budget-friendly, which helped balance out the experience. While the bathrooms might require some more upkeep. Since they're still new, they may just need more time to refine their dishes. read more

3.5. The staff was so lovely. Kind and helpful. Thus I really want to give it a higher rating. The red dragon roll was the best of what we had. The baked scallop was just really messy and didn't hold together. Flavors are lost. Rice needs more salt Fries Chicken was well breaded and an interesting addition to a sushi menu. Ambiance was simple but clean. read more

I passed by the restaurant and saw the grand opening sign on 8/13. I was in the mood for Korean fried chicken so I decided to try it for dinner. Staff told me they opened today! Their menu simply listed food items in black ink and the design was pretty minimal, but included a lot of sushi and Korean fried chicken (boneless or with bones/wings). I got the chicken with bones with gochujang garlic sauce that was around $9.5. While I waited, the staff kindly offered a few more pieces of chickens! The chicken came out crispy at the right temperature. I also liked how the sauce was not too garlicky as I've had ones that had way too strong of garlic flavor in other restaurants. Overall, I'm happy that there's a new establishment nearby where I could indulge in Korean fried chicken! read more

I didn't know what sushi i wanted so I got a variety to try. I got the Philadelphia, dragon, dynamite and the spider roll. I was a little taken back when I saw that the salmon was cooked but that mistake was mine. I think my fav out of all is the spider roll. I will be back to try other rolls and the ramen read more

I was shopping in Ballard and decided to try them since they were nearby. The Texas Sushi looked like an interesting choice with pieces that were a bit larger then ordinary. They had several other options I'd love to try in the future. My server also brought out a delicious sample of Crispy Korean Chicken with a spicy sauce. In the middle of the store is a tree that goes to the ceiling with lights that I thought was a fun touch. I'll keep them in mind next time I'm at nearby Push/Pull, going to a concert or at a game. They have a good variety of new things to try. read more

I've come here a few times and have had amazing experiences! Prices are affordable, staff is super friendly, and the food is delicious. It's also really cute inside. Love that you can order half portions of the sushi! read more

We will be back. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. You can buy 1/2 rolls which is really nice read more

Went in with a group. The server almost didn't ask two of the people at the table what they wanted. When he was about to leave my girlfriend had to yell out her order to him because she was ignored while having orders taken.. she ordered one avacado roll, appetizers came to the table, then entrees. Everyone's but her avacado roll. Servers did not come by to ask us if our food was okay. I had to flag one down after we all basically were done eating to ask about it and all the server said was "oh I'll take it off the bill" read more

I love this place! I eat here all the time now since their recent opening. Good rolls, good ramen, good Korean fried chicken. It's fast and cheap for the area and a full portion Cherry Blossom is more than enough for dinner, out the door in under $20. Worth a shot even compared to more expensive options nearby! read more

First time trying Sushilicious and although I ordered take out, the service and ambiance was friendly and welcoming. Seems like a family run business which I am more than happy to support. As for the food, while I was waiting I was graciously given some fried chicken with 2 types of sweet and tangy sauces (so yummy!!!) I ordered the salmon nigiri and spider roll, as expecting it was fresh and delicious! Great portions. I definitely would come back again and dine in this time! read more

Great service, we were surprised it was so empty. We had a few rolls since they let you do half rolls which is great. Highly recommend the half moon roll and scuba roll, very unique and fresh. Great ambiance and decoration as well, would highly recommend eating here! read more

Such yummy food! The service was quick but it also wasn't packed when we went. Had edamame, popcorn shrimp, sake, shrimp tempura roll, spicy California roll, and fried California roll! The option of half or full rolls was nice too. read more

The food took a while to arrive, but the family said that it was worth the wait. We loved the poke. The kids enjoyed the cucumber roll.

Yummy sushi rolls but my favorite is their Korean Fried Chicken. Don't take my word for it. Try it for yourself. My son Reno is addicted.

I was really excited to see a choice for Korean fried chicken in Ballard. We got the boneless wings and the cucumber salad. Service was friendly and the food was delicious. The chicken's batter was crispy and crunchy. We tried the soy garlic, honey, and spicy garlic and texted friends in the neighborhood to recommend it before we'd even got through the meal. The daikon and the cucumber salad were a refreshing light change from the richness of the chicken. As of August 2025, the prices are incredibly reasonable for Ballard. I'm excited to try other parts of the menu, so I'll definitely be back! read more

Sushi is very fresh and delicious. You can get half size or full size. Chicken is very crunch and Korean style marinate sauce is very delicious. I've already visited this place several times. I will visit soon. read more

So great the staff were so nice and sweet. Great prices and portions Check it out!!! I believe family owned too read more

Great sushi and warm, attentive staff. Please check it out. It's a great asset in Ballard and deserves to succeed. And...right next door is a wonderful pie shop. read more

Great food and friendly service with very reasonable prices! Highly recommend. Definitely would go back.

My wife and I just happened to be here on their second day open. The food was delicious and SO reasonably priced - cheaper and higher quality than the average restaurant in Ballard. We had some boneless chicken, a friend sushi roll, gyoza, and miso soup and everything was delicious. The fried Oreo dessert was super tasty as well. It was clearly a family owned business and the waiters were super attentive and friendly - even asking us for feedback on how they could improve. Overall it was a great meal at a killer price and we will be back really soon! We are really hoping this place becomes a staple in Ballard as I could see us putting it in our regular dine-out rotation. Thanks Sushi Licious! read more

Highly recommend the orange blossom roll and seared salmon roll! We also got the fried chicken with the spicy garlic sauce, it was super crispy and delicious. The staff there was super nice to us as well. 10/10 read more

Three of us went for a small dinner last week and really liked the space, decor and service. We had red dragon and cherry blossom rolls, and also a salmon skin roll with burdock root which was new for me and enjoyable. The fried banana, mochi ice cream and crab rangoon desserts were all a perfect size and price, and attractively presented - a good treat at the end! read more

This spot was once a Katsu burger joint but has reopened as a modern Japanese restaurant. The staff is super friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Where else can you find ramen under $15 in Seattle? Since they just opened, there were a few minor hiccups, but that's totally understandable. If you're after a casual sushi place that's also your wallet friendly, do check out this place! read more

Our first visit of hopefully many! Food was great, service was excellent and the prices are unbeatable in Ballard. The first thing we noticed was how affordable everything was. There's a lot of variety on the menu so we ordered a few dishes and the quality didn't disappoint. On top of this the servers were super friendly and seemed genuinely interested in hearing feedback and making sure customers had a good experience. read more

service is polite and friendly :) the food is very good, clean & small portioned at very fair prices. the decor and ambiance in the restaurant is very artistic and cool. we were looking for a ramen spot that also serves sushi, so this gem was a standout. give it a try! read more

Lovely spot, staff, and reasonably priced. The bowls came to us warm, not hot at all. The ramen didn't taste fresh. Pasta, rice, various noodles have an unmistakeable texture after refrigeration. Noodles didn't have the stretchy pull, but rather broke easily. Also the slice of pork belly in broth didn't seem fresh either. Thought it was a mushroom slice. Ordered the 6 pc. chicken which was wingettes and they were as huge as drumsticks. The fried batter was crunchy but oily, and chicken skin underneath was gummy. The sushi at table near us looked AMAZING but ramen is my thing. Disappointed. I'm sure fresh it's amazing, flavors were good. Great ambiance went in at 3pm only three tables of customers, likely cutting corners for overhead and save/keep noodles/broth premade and refrigerated. Savvy ramen heads will know instantly. I've saved leftover ramen to eat next day and it's just not the same. read more
