This is one of my favorite Seattle sushi spots. I usually keep it simple here. Rainbow roll and a bowl of miso soup, every time. The fish on the rainbow roll is always fresh and sliced thick enough that you actually taste it, not just rice. The balance is right too. Good ratio of fish to rice, clean cuts, and it's plated beautifully without feeling overworked. The miso comes out hot with just the right amount of tofu and seaweed, and it's consistent, which I appreciate. The space is modern and low key. Big windows, easy to slip in for lunch. I've come solo and with friends, and it works both ways. Service is fast,l and friendly. It's the kind of place I don't have to think about. When I'm craving sushi, this is where I go. read more

Cool little casual, but stylish place for sushi in Denny Triangle. Order at the counter and they'll bring your food to you. The green dragon roll was fantastic with a tasty blend of savory and spicy. The salmon roll was fresh and delicious as well. I'll have to try some of the cooked dishes next time. read more

I went here on while on a conference. My friends and I were looking for affordable late night spots. This was about a three minute walk from the hotel. The place is small, but the service is decent. There's not much in terms of seating but it's cozy and intimate. I ordered the salmon avalanche and it was a different kind of Philly roll. I liked the mix of fresh salmon, cream cheese, and the honey sauce was a nice sweet surprise to my taste buds. Just note that payment is up front at the counter. You can dine in or order to go. read more

I ordered through Grubhub to use my monthly $10 credits and this place has sushi burritos which I have not tried in a long time. I got the shrimp tempura one (Yummy Yummy Sushi Burrito) which was of decent size but close to $20 which is steep. It came with spicy mayo which makes for a varied flavor profile but I opted to not dip the spicy mayo for most of the burrito. I like the imitation crab in the burrito but I am not a fan of the lettuce which slightly ruined the whole flavor profile of the burrito read more

I learned that I had won an IG prize to Urban Sushi Kitchen. I had to make the effort to stop by during the weekdays since they are closed on weekends. I finally located Urban Sushi Kitchen in the Denny Triangle /South Lake Union area on 2/19/24. I was able to find free parking due to the Presidents Day holiday. It is located around the corner from the US Courthouse and across the street from a Seattle Police precinct. I liked the clean, modern streamlined interior with lots of natural light and ample onsite seating. I showed the helpful counter person screenshots to claim my IG prize. There was no gift card available, so I had to literally redeem and dine onsite. I ended up selecting chicken karaage, a custom roll, and a beef teriyaki bento box to claim the prize value. I paid extra to try their hotate and hamachi nigiri. The food was brought out shortly afterwards - nicely prepared, generous, and tasty. The menu prices reflect the location, but it was nice to end up with so much leftovers, that the contents filled an entire compartmentalized takeout container! I was pleasantly surprised with my first visit. Thank you for the generosity from @foodsbysachi and Urban Sushi Kitchen. read more

This is a great lunch spot if you need to get something to go, or want to do a quick lunch with friends. They have a few lunch specials that are really good value so I've had those a couple of times. The service is friendly and quick and I think the price is reasonable for the area. The sushi I've had so far has been good, so I'll keep coming back as long as they stay consistent. It's a bit small, but I've never had any trouble getting a spot or having to wait too long for my food. read more

Food was delicious and presentation made it even more enticing. The salmon poke had a good balance of texture and flavor. The rice was cooked well. The salmon nigiri melts in your mouth we kept ordering more. Thank you for the friendly and fast service. read more

Excellent sushi lunch and great service. Gets crowded around noon during weekdays, so I usually come earlier. Rolls are decently sized for Seattle prices. This is my preferred sushi/rolls place in SLU. read more

Nice atmosphere with a warm and welcoming vibe. The Salmon box was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared, offering great value for the price. Overall, a very satisfying and enjoyable dining experience that I'd happily recommend! read more

My go to spot for sushi in SLU. Spicy tuna platter is my favorite and the miso soup is warm and flavorful. Friendly staff!

Casual sushi spot located in downtown South Lake Union. Order at counter, get number, and have it brought to you (they are quick!) Spicy Tuna Sushi Burrito ($18) was not aesthetic at all, looked small, and was overpriced (perhaps the high prices are due to location). The filling looked like weird gray mush and I never like the look of pale iceberg lettuce anywhere near my sushi. However, all this aside, it tasted great and was pretty filling. BF got the chicken katsu bento ($22) which had lots of components and looked awesome. read more

It was ok. The sushi burrito was good but the edemame was a little slimy as well as the poke bowl.

The food was amazing and the perfect temperature. The unagi was savory, phenomenal presentation of each dish. The staff was incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed. The environment was welcoming and it was a great place to eat dinner with friends read more

Excellent Sushi! Took my 12 yo son here for his first real sushi experience and he enjoyed it. The Heartbreaker Roll was our favorite. The spicy tuna has a nice little kick and the California roll wasn't skimpy on the meat. Cool place to chill out and excellent service. read more

Food - sushi was pretty good! I liked my caterpillar roll and it tasted fresh. The Inari was my favorite - very well formed and flavored, and the tamago was just ok. They have several bottled drinks, including Ito En green tea which I love. They have several options including bentos, rolls, maki, sashimi and nigiri, sushi burritos, and a few more sides. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options! Service - they were very kind and greeted me when I arrived and thanked me when I left. They brought items out to me as ready and took my empty plates in between. They were very polite and attentive. Ambiance - I liked this spot for a quick lunch or snack. It was well lit and clean, and I enjoyed the little window bar seating facing the street. Great cozy spot for a light meal on a rainy day. read more

This is an amazing place for sushi! The restaurant is a modern design and very clean. The employees are very friendly with spot on service. The sashimi has vibrant colors, very fresh tasting, with every bite perfect! I chose the Rainer box for its variety of sashimi and sushi which made a well balanced meal. The miso served with it had a delicious flavor. Also, the warm sake paired well with the meal. Overall, no complaints here and I cannot wait to come back and try more dishes soon! read more

TLDR: Ooh yum this is pretty good, oh wait it's all gone now and I'm still hungry and I'm broke now. Sadge. I came to Urban Sushi Kitchen for lunch one day eager to try some of Seattle's famous seafood in a hopefully close-to-work and affordable location. Boy was a disappointed - while Urban Sushi Kitchen could totally be a home run if just a few things were different, they missed out on a few really crucial pieces to be an outstanding lunch spot. Walking in, the restaurant was about half full (plenty of prime seating!), and there was no line. So far, great! The customer service was fine overall, and I ended up ordering a salmon sushirito. For those of you who don't know what a sushirito is, let me enlighten you. Imagine a huge sushi roll. That's it. The pinnacle of combining the expensive sushi with the value that burritos offer typically results in a filling meal that hits a craving for sushi without breaking the bank. Instead, when I received my sushirito I was heartbroken. The sushirito was TINY. I kid you not, I could have eaten the sushirito in 3 bites had I tried. In reality it probably took around 5 bites, which is not much better. I was not full at all, my sushi craving was not fulfilled, and worst of all, it was FREAKING EXPENSIVE. I paid ~$22 for something that LITERALLY left me just as hungry as I was walking in. Perhaps if it was priced according to the size, I would've just ordered another one and walked away happy, but I was absolutely not willing to shell out ~$50 on a mediocre lunch just to be full. I ended up going back to work and my hunger drove me to eat 4 fruit bars. Yes, I was very hungry afterwards. Now, will admit that I am being fairly harsh here due to my hunger practically typing for me. I will concede one thing, the quality of the food was actually pretty solid - if only I had more of it to eat. The salmon tasted pretty fresh, and I really liked the edamame sprinkled into the sushirito. The avocado was also perfectly ripe. Overall, if I blew my nose with $100 dollar bills, I would probably love this place and come back quite often for lunch. Unfortunately, I blow my nose with tissue paper and I can't justify coming back here due to the miniscule portion sizes and correspondingly overblown prices. read more

great food! The ultimate sushi roll was phenomenal !! Customer service was amazing !!

delicious sushi very enjoyable.The workers are very kind. I had a good experience and I recommend it.

Great spot for lunch, but it does get busy so there's often a wait to get food. quality is fantastic and the fish is always fresh. Some of my favorite and go to rolls are at this spot. Expensive for a lunch during work, but sometimes worth the splurge. Small seating area fills up quickly and is noisy so may want to do takeout. read more

service was quick and food was good! their speciality rolls are what you should focus on. regular rolls were great as well, but not their signature read more

Hi Craig, Good place to go for fast service. You order at the counter. Some of the salmon tasted better than others. The salmon and avocado roll was delicious but the nigiri was not as good. Pricing was fair. Salad was large and fresh. I liked the toasted onion on the salad. Jack read more

The staff is nice and attentative. You order at the counter, grab a seat and they bring your food over to you. I have mixed reviews on the food. The salmon was excellent, sush and sashimi salmon is 5* and order again. The rolls with shrimp tempura I would stay away from, it's not freshly battered and fried so it tastes old. I would go there again but I would only order sashimi or nigiri. read more

I arrived at 8:15pm and asked to eat there, from which the response was " we close 8:45. no time". I smiled politely and said I eat fast. That is where things got interesting. An enormous argument started between the lady and a food delivery person- he was trying to get them to speak to the customer on the phone, either his phone or for them to provide a number for the customer to call- to explain the order that the order they received was missing things- she kept yelling "no not possible" and he kept yelling that he has never seen a business treat a customer like this in his six years of delivering. Awwwwwkward ambience/environment to dine in. Long story short, I was shorted an order of avacado roll AND an order of Inari, but I just wanted to eat and leave so I didnt want to have to go through an ordeal. Then I got my chicken karage... from which I found two shrimp tails in it... needless to say I didnt eat it. In general, the sushi was decent tasting but I only got the avocado roll, california roll, and inari because they were out of both maguro and salmon (possibly I was lucky now that I see that they have two critical health violations). read more

Love this place! It is a small place that is easily missed. The food & service are always excellent! The sushi quality is excellent & there's never a long wait to get the food after ordering! This is my go to lunch spot for sushi in Seattle. read more
