    Seared Tuna & Salmon NIgiri and Salmon Nigiri
    Jacques I.

    I had no idea Ten Sushi #35 existed until we saw it as a participating business for the International District Happy Hour Food Walk. I must've never noticed it when in the area, as it's located in Little Saigon in a shopping complex. But after checking it out, I can't say I'd willingly go back. When we first arrived, we weren't sure if it was open because it was dark inside, and when we tried to open the door, it wouldn't budge. We soon learned that it was just a heavy door; as we saw that once we did pull it open, the employee was standing in front of the door watching us the entire time, trying to pull open the door. It was as if they didn't want us to visit. How odd. My boyfriend and I shared the salmon nigiri and seared tuna and salmon nigiri, which were both on the happy hour food walk menu. Although the nigiri pieces were cheap, they weren't the best. The salmon nigiri was fine, but the seared pieces were unfortunately, too seared. Because of so, we couldn't taste the freshness and quality of the fish. The sear adds a little something extra, which is why I normally order seared nigiri pieces, but the sear was too much. Also, they drizzled a spicy sauce on top of the sear, which also added to the fact that we couldn't taste a lot of the fish. Bummer. I most likely would not visit Ten Sushi #35 again, especially for when I crave sushi. The food was mediocre and the space didn't feel inviting.

    Chicken Karaage Salmon chips Spicy Scallop Gunkan

    I almost don't want to share this, but they have a Tuesday $1 sushi deal which makes me wish everyday is Tuesday... The quality is pretty decent for $ value, there are 15 kinds to choose from and my personal favorites are the spicy scallops and unagi nigiri. Another thing that I always order is their karaage; it's always fresh and juicy, unlike other strong flavored ones their karaage is mild and thus perfect for eating w sushi. Really friendly staff and always get unexpected treat from them - cream puffs, ice creams, etc. They also provide free salmon skin chips w spicy Mayo, super yummy! It's also clear that they care about covid and concern about the safety for both their staff and customers. There's hand sanitizer at eh front, the dine-in area is closed and all staffs are wearing masks.

    Chirashi bowl and sashimi
    Janet N.

    I had ten sushi delivered to me through door dash. I ended up having the chirashi bowl and the chef's choice sashimi. While I enjoyed the presentation of the dishes, the quality of the fish was subpar compared to the plethora of sushi restaurants in the Seattle area. The fish had somewhat of a strong pungent odor to it and didn't taste too pleasant, probably indicating that the fish was old. The rice in the chirashi bowl was mushy and not to my liking. I just feel like if you're a sushi establishment you should really take pride in your products, especially the fish, but that didn't seem like the case here. I don't know, maybe I had food from here on an off day, but I would potentially give this place another shot on a Tuesday since they offer $1 nigiri pieces.

    Decided to try this place out due to all the hype I've heard about their $1 Sushi on Tuesdays. The Nigiri was pretty decent for what it's worth. This place right now is still take out only. Will come back next time to try the rolls.

    Hamachi platter
    Huong L.

    We were deciding on a place for dinner and happen to walk by this place so decided to check it out. The inside is decorated with Pokemon figures. We got the hamachi platter, an order of the chicken karage and the spicy salmon roll. The hamachi platter was nice because you can definitely taste the different ways it was prepared. The karage was ok, I wish it was a little crunchier and the flavor is on the lighter side. The spicy roll was probably my least favorite, it wasn't spicy at all and I didn't really like the texture of the salmon. Price was standard. Service was good. The waitress was really nice. I like that they have this promotion where for every $25 dollars you spend you get to grab a raffle that can get you a freebie. I was able to grab a free green tea ice cream so decided to stay for dessert. The presentation was very cute and the ice cream tasted good. Overall, I would come back to check out other food and their daily special looks really good.

    Salmon skin roll (not good)
    Marie C.

    Got 4 rolls and a gyoza at this place for takeout. The rolls had too much rice and didn't taste good. The gtoza was ok. Rating Salmon skin roll - 1/5 Spick salmon roll - 2.5/5 Avocado roll - 2.5/5 Gyoza - 3.5/5 Price - 1.5/5 Not impressed!

    Seared Salmon Roll
    David H.

    When you first enter Ten Sushi, there's this weird off-smell in the air. It's not necessarily stinky, but when combined with the awfully sketchy parking garage underneath, it's weird enough to make you question your choice of dining here. Fortunately, it's not all bad, as the food here is decent and the staff are super friendly! We ordered quite a few things: spicy tuna roll, tuna nigiri, seared salmon roll, chicken kaarage and the chirashi bowl. The fish in general just tasted kind of weird here. It had a real fishy taste to it, and not in a good way. The nigiri was awful, and the spicy tuna roll just felt really cheap. The chirashi bowl was WAY overpriced ($19) and the quality of the fish was not great. I did still enjoy it though and I actually really really liked the seared salmon roll! Probably my favorite thing I ordered. As before mentioned, the service here was awesome. Friendly lady who was very attentive and quick. Another positive would be their menu, it's HUGE. Besides sushi, they also serve ramen, udon, chirashi bowls, and even a small happy hour menu from 3-close! Overall, it's an average place for sushi. Nice service with decent sushi, but I just wish the restaurant smelled better...

    Stopped by on Tuesday to try their $1 nigiri special. I wasn't expecting the greatest quality of fish and got what I was expecting - average. I would say it's similar to what you expect at sushi buffets. The cut of the fish was pretty sloppy and the nigiri was overpacked with rice, which was also subpar. They do have a good variety of sushi on their $1 special, ranging from tuna to squid to unagi. I would not recommend it at their regular prices.

    One of my favorite sushi places in town! I love ten sushi! The sushi is great and reasonably priced, the service is decent and I can walk here from CD (yea it's a bit of a walk but I have so much sushi and sake here that I need a stroll to digest all that good stuff!

    Open sign at the door front at 11:05AM but once got in, the sushi man said they not open.  Waste my time there
    Kevin V.

    We went there at 11:05AM on Thursday. There was an "Open" sign at the front door. When we walked in, the Sushi man said "sorry, we not open yet." Well, if they were not ready why they flipped the sign "Open"??? 11AM was the open time for dine in as posted on Yelp and there was another Open sign below to take Togo order as well. I saw his advertisement a few days ago. I set my plan not to eat breakfast and waited till their open time. Besides, I not lived close by and need to drive there to eat specifically. That sushi man responded was a big let down. I was so disappointed to waste my morning there. Integrity and do best in work is what makes Japanese people so unique from others. The way they operated business totally not represents the value of Japanese culture at all. I don't know what their sushi tastes like but this is the place I already cross out from my list.

    Chaeji K.

    Thank you for 1$ sushi tuesdays!!! Honestly wasnt expecting much because it was so cheap, but it was very decent and well worth the price! I love that they are offering these deals during the pandemic. It really makes me want to support small businesses like Ten Sushi more. Parking is a little hard to find even for pick up however.

    Hot Tea.. yeah u c the steam?
    Johnny L.

    original plan was going 2 Fuji Sushi, but they were closed w/ no reason y they weren't open when they r supposed 2 b open, so I had 2 find a place n there's not that many sushi places around Chinatown/Japantown that r opened 4 lunch.. so let's do this place again like 3 months later + my mouth was set on something Fuji had n such disapointment got here again n no they didn't have wat I wanted 2 order, so I ended up w/ 2 nasty rolls.. well 1 nasty roll n 1 that was a bit off n different; specifically, their Rainbow Roll had some kind of sweet citrus yellow thing on most of the roll that threw it off, but kudos 4 them 4 using real crab n not fake krab in their California base.. but mess job number 2; most of the pieces fell apart n the real nasty roll please stand up! It's called the We Are the Wild Roll, just nasty no flavor, ingredients did not go w/ each other.. just tasted like a bad marriage.. BUT this is nowhere regarding the waiter's fault b/c he did an EXCELLENT job n asked if I thought the food was ok.. it is more of me ordering n trying new things; as well as, trying 2 get back 2 work so wat's the point of making them do another roll when also I am down 2 the last 2 pieces of that yucky roll STILL the prices r as expensive as ever 4 rolls that tastes like they should b eight or nine dollars but tea was good!

Not great, but good. For the $25 price tag a bit underwhelming. The chicken thigh skewer with green onion was ok. Got the sauce with it and it was ok. I don't think the rice here is sushi or Japanese rice - it didnt have that stickiness and texture was more American rice - this was disappointing. So overall it's a-ok experience here. Had the Wagyu Rice Bowl been better we would be at 4 stars but that thing cost me $25 and it was underwhelming.

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.

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.

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.

    Loved our dinner at Umi Sake House! The food and service were both amazing. We had the crispy rice…read morespecial and three rolls, including the Casino Royale and a couple from the daily fresh list, and everything was delicious. 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.
