Back again and right before a hockey game, go Kraken! Beautifully prepared, delicious rolls that hit the spot! Love their creativity!!!

Deanna Troy Travels has vegan sushi and non-alcoholic wine at The Sushi Samurai
Deanna H.

This eatery has an all-vegan jam-packed menu! The owners were very nice and told us that they hand make their own vegan tuna, salmon and other fish substitutes with carrots, soy and a rue of spices and sauces. What was even more fun was that they had a cat robot that served your meal! See the cat robot and my review of other vegan restaurants in Seattle in this blog article: https://www.deannatroytravels.com/post/vegan-food-in-seattle-washington

Dragon roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Crispy Shrimp, Crunchy salmon, Green Goddess, Cucumber roll

This place is 100% vegan and was the best sushi I've ever had. The crispy shrimp roll and dragon roll were my favorites. My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday and had a great time! The staff were really sweet. I recommend x1000.

Sushi!

LOVE THIS PLACE Vegetarian who lives in Seattle here and let me tell you this place is worth the visit. There are so many sushi shops around but if you have any restrictions with meat or are pregnant and not wanting to eat any or just looking for amazing vegetable based sushi this is for you. Everything is fantastic I recommend going for their special rolls or whatever your server recommends. It can be busy but is never too loud and they I do have a vendetta against the wobbly uncomfy furniture outside I still cannot take this down a star it is too good. Recommend the green goodness, habanero roll, red dragon, and the crusty crab!

I've never had Vegan sushi before. We've walked past this place a lot but never bothered to check it out until today. We were missing out. The inside has soft lighting with plenty of seating. They serve the food with a little robot. Service was phenomenal, they were so kind, checked up on us a lot and also had personalized conversations with multiple people dining in the restaurant. The sushi was so delicious. Great / similar texture of non vegan sushi. We ordered the geisha, spicy tuna, veggie and Queen Anne roll. 14 pieces total between two people. Queen Anne and geisha were definitely a table favorite. The roles were fairly large considering they didn't have a piece of fish in it. 10000% will be returning asap

Spring roll

Glad to have found a vegan sushi spot in Seattle. Never really enjoyed sushi being a vegetarian until today and now have the entire menu to pick from! Food was really good, service was also quick as not too busy on a weekday. We tried spring rolls, mango sake, Mr.Crabs - tempura roll, Maui and strawberry cheesecake . Everything was delicious and exceeded expectations! Will definitely revisit.

Sake

Excellent place. It's a small place so booking a reservation is not a bad idea. I went with a friend and we tried all the gluten free rolls. By the way this place is fully vegan. Everything is mocked fish. My favourites were Spicy Tuna, Seattle Roll and Yoga. All are gluten-free. I wouldn't recommend Mango Tango. The service was excellent. Very nice host and really passionate about the restaurant and its menu.

Vegan sushi. Looks like fish but it isn't! Incredible!
Michelle M.

This sushi is delicious, very satisfying and I didn't miss the fish. Complex flavors, wonderful miso soup too. Great place for a birthday.

Love to see a 100% plant based sushi restaurant in Seattle! We know the city certainly could use the diversity. 5 stars for the creativity of making quality sushi without fish! That's true talent. Service was great. Restaurant is quaint. Fun casual vibe. Food was good but I think we ordered incorrectly for our likings. Everything had the vegan mayo which we quickly realized we do not like. We would love to come back and try all the other rolls with no mayo. As the sushi rolls were good!

Always love coming to vegan sushi places when we travel! The tempura fried one was the best but they have so many options! There is indoor and outdoor seating so perfect for the summer time! Food came quickly and in a nice area! Staff was friendly!

Srinidhi N.

The food here is always a hit! Me and my family were introduced to this restaurant through one of my sisters' friends and i can say without a doubt that it is the best vegan sushi i've had in my life. All the flavors are well balanced and you can tell that quality ingredients went into the food. Additionally, i love the cozy nature of the restaurant itself and the service is phenomenal. The folks who work there are so kind, open and will give the best suggestions! If you're ever in the Queen Anne area or Seattle in general i sincerely highly recommend you check this place out!

Came around 8pm on a weekend. Parking was really easy with free street parking. The shop is pretty small so it was completely packed. We waited about 5min for a table as it was getting late. Menu is very extensive so we did take a bit to order after being seated. Served wasand food came after 20min from ordering. 7/10 Ring of Fire $10.24 6pc - just meh, little below real sushi compared to grocery store sushi. 9/10 Katana $15.99 8pc - very solid! Texture and taste both were excellent and quite comparable to good real sushi 7/10 Crunchy Salmon $11.99 6pc - similar sentiment as ring of fire. Nothing really stood out in a good or bad way. 10/10 Dragon $16.99 8pc - amazing! The top replicated seared salmon/fish taste and the sauce is the same as the unagi sauce which was so good!! Must get! Overall expensive but good spot considering it is vegan. QR Menu: https://www.foodbooking.com/ordering/restaurant/menu?restaurant_uid=c50e807b-eaed-479a-b270-64953afe4598&dine_in=true

We went to Sushi Samurai on a Friday evening. Their full menu is vegan. All the sushi we ordered were flavorful. The service was friendly. It is small restaurant in queen anne neighborhood. Please make a reservation before you go.

The best part is the complimentary edamame with flaky salt. I'd come back for this detail alone. The setting inside is nice and bright, and the servers are very friendly.

Momiji was one of those and it was extremely close to the movie theater we were walking out of. Sushi sounded great so we strolled over to get some. The sushi didn't disappoint... not in the slightest! We got some specialty rolls off of that portion of the menu and they were so very good! Fresh and extremely flavorful! Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!

Everything we ordered tasted phenomenal. From the spicy tuna to the softshell crab. ALL of it was delicious. If we had time to go back a 2nd time before we left, I would have def gone again. I also had a couple of drinks which were also quite tasty. Only thing I would say is that at it did take time for each of our orders to finish but I believe this was due to inly having 1 sushi chef and a handful of customers Service: I would say this would be that service was good but slow. It did take some time to receive our orders and it also took time to receive the check. Ambiance: Its a nice communal type of ambiance. Its def a louder type of restaurant as you are all seated around the sushi chefs, exactly like a bar (hence the name). We loved the vibe and the folks eating there all seemed to be enjoying the food and ambiance as well. Overall: I would rate this establishment a 4 to 4.5.

My favorite selection is actually the nigiri near the end of the line (especially the buttery seared salmon). One time, we were lucky enough to come when they had blue fin tuna nigiri that was very good. They always have a small line that moves very quickly and they replenish everything fresh and have such good foot-traffic that I'm never concerned. On the side, they have serve yourself spicy mayo, wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, etc. which makes it very convenient for both dine in and take out. Fast casual and really high quality for what it is.

My partner and I can stuff our faces with a large box here for just over 30 dollars. They are prone to have a line at dinner time and even off hours on the weekend though. Plus, there is no parking in the area so your best bet is to park by the H Mart or by Bellevue Square before walking over. Seating isn't the most plentiful and it's first come first serve where you bus your own items. Haven't been lucky enough to swing by while their miso soup machine was working, but they do offer complementary sauces (spicy mayo, unagi sauce, soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, and plastic gloves for those who prefer eating with their hands. Tip: all the rolls are placed at the front of the selection so make sure you save enough room for the salmon belly nigiri at the very end. Honestly, even though I know the rolls are a bit of a trap, their rolls are pretty tasty still and you really can't go wrong. Really strong 4 stars.

My local friends recommended we come here for some authentic Japanese food while we were visiting…read more We texted ahead to reserve a table for 5 since it is a popular place. They don't take phone calls or reservations online - very old school. Which I think makes it more desirable. We ended up getting a special room with a "chabudai" style table! I was super excited because I've never experienced it before. What I did find pleasant was that although it was a lower table, there was an opening beneath the table that allowed your legs to hang rather than having to sit Indian style. Tyson was an amazing server. Was attentive, accommodated our allergies and was thoughtful with us having a young child. He was so pleasant and polite! We enjoyed the following: Baked miso glazed eggplant - YUM and melts in your mouth. Black Miso Cod Collar - this was pleasantly surprising and so delicious. Eat bite was tender and flavorful. Simple yet so appetizing. Sushi rolls were both fresh and well prepared. The nigiri was also great and fresh- not fishy. We additionally ordered takoyaki - which I normally don't love but this one was very tasty and I enjoyed the texture. Lastly karage chicken which came with a creamy slaw. Overall it was such a pleasant experience and we look forward to coming back!
