One of the best sushi spots in the area! It is hard to find good sushi in the Mill Creek and…read moreEverett area, but this place definitely delivers. We ordered the Crunch roll, Sunrise roll, seared salmon roll, and bluefin tuna, and everything was incredibly fresh, with perfectly cooked rice. Ordering four rolls for two people was super filling, and our food came out in a quick fifteen minutes. Prices are standard for the area, ranging from $11 to $15 per roll, but they also offer a fantastic happy hour from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Sunday, and all day on Wednesdays (excluding holidays). Located right in the Mill Creek Town Center, the service was excellent, and I would absolutely come back again.

In short The vibe is all friendly neighborhood joint, but…read morethe fish (especially the sashimi) is excellent. Hard to beat this place. In long We've been meaning to try it forever and finally dragged our carcasses in here when we were coming back from an afternoon up north. Quiet Sunday night on Thanksgiving weekend, and we scored perfect parking and got a table instantly. So we're already in a great mood, right? It's a shoebox-shaped room with a few extra tables in one corner. Newish strip mall construction. You can come in from either end, which I would not have guessed. It's sparkling clean and well lit with some nice warmth to the lighting. Big flatscreens behind the sushi bar, probably tuned to the ballgame or the news or something. The menu feels comfortingly familiar. The usual apps, solid list of sashimi, lots of classic rolls and then a couple full pages of specialty rolls. Matcha for later. So far you don't feel like you're in crazy territory, though they do list hamachi collar as an all-the-time hot dish, which is cool. So many places run out of it right away and list it only as a special, but not here. The sake list is just enough--a couple of each type, some solid and reasonably-priced house options, a couple really nice picks. You get your sake right away and the miso doesn't take much longer. The takoyaki was delicious and beautiful. Lots of garnish, boiling hot, great flavor. Nice tako bits in there, lots of creamy filling. They garnish the seaweed salad with daikon and load it with cucumber. More places should do both of these things. The cucumber in particular enhanced the flavor a ton. Once the rolls showed up, things got better and better. The Love Hunter and the Amazing were both fantastic. Great combinations of flavors and textures, generously portioned and topped. We got some classic taki too, and that was a great contrast. I love it so much when places nail the classics and the modern. I got the deluxe sashimi dinner. For $36 this is such a value. The hamachi and the other tuna were both super buttery, the salmon had tons of flavor, and there were a couple other nice fish on the plate as well. It's great when you find a place you're super happy you tried, but this immediately goes into the rotation as an any-night sushi spot. Affordable enough you don't have to wait for a special occasion! Dig this place hard.

We used to frequent sushi zen and it was always pretty good, a solid 4 for sushi rolls…read more The last time we ordered two rolls to go which both had avocado inside. When we got home we found both rolls filled with black avocado, these avocados were way over ripe and if I had opened an avocado that color it would have gone in the trash. Instead it went in two sushi rolls totaling $28. I called sushi zen and they did say I could drive back during their dinner window and pick up free replacement. But I'm a busy person and at this point I'm not sure what quality controls this restaurant has on their ingredients, which I think is important when I'm eating raw fish. Unfortunately sushi zen will no longer be a place we visit.

We went all in and ordered the Love Boat plus a few extra nigiri, and everything looked SO good when it came out. Super fresh, nice variety, and honestly just fun to eat. The presentation alone made it feel like a whole experience. Also ordered the Lamborghini roll... and yeah, no picture because we were too hungry and devoured it immediately but it was really good. Only thing, service was kinda slow. Not terrible, just noticeable (it wasn't packed on Friday night and however they did have a lot of Togo orders). Once the food came out though, it made up for it. Overall: good sushi, solid portions, and a chill spot if you're not in a rush. I'd come back!

If you're anywhere near Mill Creek and love sushi, do yourself a favor and go to Wasabi Bay…read more I genuinely can't say enough good things about this place. The sashimi is exceptional--always incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and the cuts are so generous. Every bite tastes clean, rich, and high-quality... exactly what you hope for but rarely find this consistently. My personal favorites? The Chirashi bowl is absolutely incredible, and I'm obsessed with their shrimp & veggie tempura and fried calamari appetizers--perfectly cooked, crispy, and seriously addictive. What really sets Wasabi Bay apart, though, is the experience. The staff is warm, attentive, and you can tell they truly care. On multiple visits, they've surprised me with a complimentary side dish--such a small gesture, but it says everything about how they treat their customers. This is the kind of spot you end up craving and recommending to everyone you know. Whether you're a sushi regular or just getting into it, Wasabi Bay is a must-visit. Easily one of my favorite restaurants--Mill Creek is lucky to have them.

High hopes, but left underwhelmed…read more I visited Akane Ramen in Mill Creek for the first time during peak lunch hours and was surprised to find only one other party dining there. We were seated quickly and service was prompt throughout the meal. 1) We started with the Garlic Beef Chahan (fried rice). It came in a generous portion and had decent flavor, but it was a bit oilier than I would have liked. I also didn't notice any green onions, which could have helped brighten up both the flavor and presentation. Visually, it was pretty much just brown on brown. It wasn't bad, but it's probably something I'd skip on a return visit. 2) For my entrée, I ordered the Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen with an extra side of noodles. The ramen arrived piping hot and fairly quickly. Unfortunately, despite specifically asking for the extra noodles on the side, they were added directly into the bowl. Not a huge issue, but a little disappointing. The noodles themselves had a nice texture, and the pork was decent. The biggest letdown was the broth. I found it surprisingly bland and lacking the depth and richness that I look for in a good bowl of ramen. It needed more seasoning and overall flavor to bring everything together. It made me think of dirty dish water. Oh yeah, they also cheated me by not adding in the egg. Just noticed that as I am writing my review and looking at the picture. Overall, I had high hopes for a ramen spot so close to home, but I left feeling underwhelmed. Maybe it was just an off day, but for now, I'm willing to drive a little farther for a truly memorable bowl of ramen. There are better options out there for those looking to satisfy a ramen craving.

The place was absolutely empty when we got there around 6:30 on a Friday. This made us feel a bit uneasy but maybe it was just a slow night. There was only one other table that came in during the time we were there. The place is in a strip mall and doesn't feel like the best area. It was a bit dingy inside but seemed clean. The waitress was nice and quickly came over to get our drink order. The menu is online via a QR code so make sure you have your phone handy. We ordered a few special rolls and some regular rolls. The food took a little while to come out despite the place being empty. The sushi was fine but nothing special. The El Diablo roll was probably my favorite and packed a decent amount of heat. The rest of the rolls tasted pretty good but I didn't love the bigger pieces of cucumber in them. On the plus side, the prices were pretty reasonable.
