Fabulous sushi. We came for my sons 19th birthday on a Friday night. Got right in. Food was delicious and well paced. We ordered sashimi and specialty rolls and an appetizer. After our appetizer, the sashimi came out and our specialty rolls didn't come out until we had eaten all of the sashimi. I really appreciated the pacing of the meal so we could truly enjoy the meal and the company. Would absolutely come here again. read more

Was kind of taken off guard at how good the food is here, wow! I needed some dinner but it was starting to get late so choose this place as it closed at 10pm. I walked in at 8:30pm and only one other table of 2 dining in. It was pretty quiet and dimly lit and great soft jazzy music playing and service was prompt and nice. The decor in here is great and its a nice spot for an intimate dinner. I choose a sushi regular set which comes with miso soup and salad, 5 pieces of nigiri and 3 pieces of California roll and 3 pieces of spicy tuna roll. All of the food was fantastic and the fish was very fresh and I very much enjoyed my dinner. The place wasnt awkward at all and by 9pm, 3 other parties showed up to dine in with many solo diners. This being close to campus, I see how solo diners are welcomed and opening until 10pm definitely still brings in hungry students. Overall, a great dinner and would definitely return. Service was very kind and good. read more

Came here for a friends birthday dinner. I felt so bad because there were 10 of us but they were so good and nice about it! Since there were 10 of us we had quite a few rolls and I was sure that it was going to be a while before we would get them. I was pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to wait long at all! And the presentation of the rolls was very well done! The people serving us were very patient with our large group but still stayed attentive to us. The sushi tasted good and they had a lot of your favorite classics available. There were even non sushi options available as well which I always think is a good thing! The inside was well decorated with a variety of things. There were paintings, photos, sound system collections and more. It was a little interesting as a whole but I think they made it work well. I highly recommend this place for the overall experience I had! read more

I was in Seattle for a work trip and *had* to try some local sushi. Village sushi was the perfect place to do so! One of the best shrimp tempura rolls I've ever had, easily. The staff was incredibly kind, even at the late hour of 9pm. I had a fluke and needed a picture of my receipt and the following day Sang had no issue of helping me out. GREATLY appreciated, that meant more to me than any dish! The environment is very cozy and approachable as well, I highly recommend this spot and would love to return. read more

Village Sushi - 4 great rolls - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Delicious, reasonably priced sushi in a quaint, chill spot. Miso soup: not too salty with a light miso taste. Perfect temperature. Negi-toro roll: refreshing, strong tuna taste. Clean cuts and rolls. Salmon roll: my favorite! Nice balance of fatty delicious salmon with a melt in your mouth texture. Mango mochi: mango-flavored ice cream served with whip cream. A nice portion all for yourself or easily split. I wish I could have the option to sample all 3 flavors without needing to order each one individually. Service was very attentive, although my table was kind of awkwardly waiting for the check at the end for a little too long. It's a bit of a busy spot in the evening. Jazzy, relaxed atmosphere. Cool art & antique radios that add a lot to the fun vibes. It was quite chilly in the restaurant, so be advised to wear layers, lol. read more

I always thought this was maybe not the optimal place was a sushi place. I am surprised it's still there. But small, eclectic and interesting it is. I went here before a game and thought it was pretty decent. It is a place I said I would come back to, but just never made it. read more

Wonderful restaurant with an unexpected ambiance. Lots of pretty oil paintings mixed in with the traditional Japanese style decor. Jazz playing was a nice touch too. Sushi was very good and definitely had the most unique plating I've seen so far. The micro greens inside the spider roll was a cute touch. Definitely not cheap for the amount that you get (about $15 for both rolls, with the spider roll only having 5 pieces), but for an occasional nice outing it's worth it. I did not leave feeling full though, so keep that in mind. My boyfriend got the chicken katsu which was very good from the bite I had. About $16.30 if I recall. I will probably get that next time as the amount of food he got better suited the price tag. Overall a wonderful restaurant and I will be sure to come back again. read more

One of my favorite spots to grab some great sushi is Village Sushi in UW District. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. We waited about 15-20 minutes around a table. I've been here once before and couldn't wait to come back. The interior is so warm and cozy and truly a great date night spot. We ordered the V-Roll, Dragon Roll, Dynamite Roll, and Godzilla Roll. Everything was so delicious and fresh. There was an ample amount of fish within each roll especially the Dynamite roll. The hamachi (yellow tail) was so fresh and definitely a standout. Highly recommend village sushi for your next date night or dinner spot. read more

I came here for dinner on a weekday, and it was not busy. Upon entering, I was greeted by the chef and server, and they allowed me to sit anywhere in the restaurant. The restaurant is small, with dimmed lighting and lots of art. Service is excellent, as the server periodically checks in on me. I ordered the Spicy Salmon roll, Negi-Hama handroll, and Paradise roll. The food took less time to come out; it took roughly about 10 minutes. My favorite roll has to be the Spicy Salmon roll. Sounds basic, but I loved how spicy the salmon roll was. Usually, it tends not to be spicy when I order a spicy salmon roll at other sushi restaurants. However, the spiciness level exceeded my expectations at Village Sushi. Overall, the fish's freshness and the rolls' presentation were top-notch. The meal was close to $40 for three rolls, and I was very satisfied with the results. If you love eating salmon and want a kick to it, I highly recommend the Spicy Salmon roll. read more

I prefer to leave reviews over 3 stars but unfortunately while we were here I overheard a food inspection, and the owner may have made a joke that did not sit well (I could have heard wrong, so I won't repeat the joke.) I got the udon and California roll to be safe, but the California roll had a wad of compressed plastic inside of it! Udon was cold and tempura soggy but nothing bad inside of it like the California roll. The servers here are very nice, and I hope this place can turn itself around. Sometimes read more

A relatively fancy place compared to other sushi places in the area. I got a few rolls to share with a friend and they were all pretty good (although I think their eel sauce is too sweet and it really threw me off). We also got vegetable tempura as an appetizer which was pretty good. I liked that they had so many different vegetables (sweet potato, zucchini, pumpkin, onion, etc.) to try! Overall, I had a good experience at this restaurant. The restaurant is pretty dimly lit and gives off romantic vibes, so I think it'd be a great place to go on a date! However it is also a little more expensive than most other places on the Ave. read more

We used to love this restaurant, but on our last three visits the fish was not fresh. I've given up. The visits were widely spaced so this seems to be an ongoing problem. read more

I'll just say that this place was pretty disappointing. The biggest issue was the wait time. We waited very very long for our food to come out, and so did everyone else, as the people next to us were complaining about the wait time as well. Plus, the price was not worth the amount of food you get. The fried chicken was sub par, and you could definitely get something better at a near by chicken stand. We were still hungry at the end, and decided to leave as it was not worth waiting another hour to order another sushi roll. Plus, the waiters did not check up on us even once which was unfortunate. Overall, I highly recommend trying another nearby sushi place if you ever consider coming here. read more

The sushi was so so yummy! I love the dark ambience of the restaurant, feels very romantic date night vibes. The service was also great!

The sushi here was pretty good! The service seems a bit variable though. When we came, the server could barely understand my friend and I (she kept asking us to repeat or responding incorrectly) and we weren't sure she was hearing us right either. We didn't get 100% accurate what was ordered either, so that kind of confirmed the issue. It's a small spot and seating is pretty tight. I'd probably opt for take out here next time to make sure I got what I ordered, but the food was good. read more

I really hope I had just an off day. My partner and I came in here after a show at the Neptune due to the high reviews. Upon entering there is a pretty strong fishy smell. I know it's a sushi restaurant, duh, but it was fishier than other sushi restaurants I go to, so I was kind of nervous maybe the fish wasn't as fresh. We ordered a tempura roll, tempura udon, beef yakisoba, gyoza, and salmon and tobiko nigiri. The gyoza and tempura was good. However, my partner noted that the yakisoba had no flavor. I thought he was being picky because the yakisoba was pretty brown, but he gave me a piece to try and it legit didn't even have that much salt on it. My udon tasted watered down compared to other places as well. After trying the sushi, it left a pretty fishy taste in my mouth that I didn't like (and yes, I eat a lot of sushi, I'm not overreacting). Overall, we agreed that we won't be returning here. The service was great, the artwork had an interesting look, the place was a little old, but most importantly the food wasn't good in my opinion. If you go, I'd say stick to the rolls, they're most likely your best bet. read more

Good was flawless, salmon nigiri literally melted in my mouth. Service was perfect. Just enough attention to not be interrupted and yet we were very taken care of. The ambience, stop with that question. This place is dripping with it. read more

My go-to chirashi bowl spot. They always give you a wide selection of sashimi and the food is delicious. We love the vibe there as well. It is never super loud and they have great artwork all over their walls. The servers are very nice and give a generous wine pour. We also never had much of an issue of getting a table. read more

Impeccable vibes with audiophile vinyl, oil paintings, model cars, and other idiosyncratic obsessions of the chef all over the place.

The sushi was good, the servers were very nice. I wish they took reservations because it can be very hard to guess what the wait time is and you can't sit before the whole table is there. I recommend calling in to ask. The paintings on the walls are so cool! read more

This was good sushi, not the most amazing I've ever had but tasty and well made. I want to rate the service 5 stars but yelp is about food first. The server and chef were amazing and deserve all five stars that I'm not giving out here. I would totally eat here again. My only negative was that the under the mountain roll lacked some flavor. It need some spice or something to help it out. The spicy tuna roll was perfect, I loved it. I tried uni for the first time and it was well made. So yes, give this a shot. read more

My daughter and I have been working are way around a variety of Seattle sushi places and this was our favorite so far. Excellent quality rolls of all kinds just the right balance between elements. Service was good and offered a cozy, old school vibe. Would skip the hand rolls next time in favors of specialty rolls however as seemed like better value and more interesting. Loved the chill guitar music and high quality sound system often lacking in even nicer places it seems. read more

Decided at the very last minute to come to this restaurant which has good ratings on Yelp and Google. Reservation was not required, they had a table for two right away. Menu is expansive - drinks and food both. We ordered : Fire on the mountain roll - too good, so fresh and great flavors Spicy tuna roll - it's good by itself but the above one stole the show for us so spicy tuna roll felt average. Veg yakisoba - very good flavors, not too oily Food and ambience (though simple ) is 5/5 , the only itch hence overall 4/5 is coz food took a long time to get to us , could possibly be an anomaly. read more

Just ordered 140 dollar order and could have gotten the same food for 50 easily. Mediocre quality and bad cuts of fish. Pass on this one!

This place looks like a dive inside and out but they sling some very nice food here. They served me the best seaweed salad I've ever had while the sushi and soup were also very nice. The service was fast and efficient although the seating was a bit cramped. Overall the vibe, food and service combined to make for a pleasant dining experience and I would certainly make a repeat visit. read more

Decided to try out a different sushi place and he found this place. The place inside has an eclectic feel to it. When we stepped in, there were 4 empty tables but we were told by the female server to wait 15-20 minutes, which I found super baffling. We were just standing there at the door while she walked back to her counter doing stuff. A guy came out from the kitchen area, saw us standing, and approached the female server, seemingly telling her to tend to us and seat us (he was pointing at us while talking). But she shook her head. After 15 minutes wait, the female server came back and seated us at the table right in front of our eyes that had been empty for the past 15 minutes. We were off to not so-good start. Husband was starving, confused, and pissed thinking we could have sat down and were given an extra time to look at the menu while waiting instead of just standing there. We ordered Salmon Sashimi, Eel Roll, Goma Steak, Saba Shioyaki, Rainbow Roll, and Supersonic Roll. The Salmon Sashimi was amazing and fresh. Goma Steak was also really good. My Saba Shioyaki was too salty and a little dry. For the Eel Roll, I didn't really enjoy but I have always been really particular about eels. The other sushi rolls that we ordered were just okay. They weren't bad but not mind-blowing either. So our first visit wasn't the greatest and wasn't too memorable. But considering the salmon sashimi was indeed very fresh, I do feel compelled to try out their omakase one day. read more

The interior of this space is very dark, a little crowded, and for that reason noisy (my friend and I overheard many conversations of the people seated around us). The server was very polite and kind. She took her time to explain the menu items and clarify what came with each item. The miso soup and side salad were brought our first. The salad had a little too much dressing for the small portion, my bowl had a good amount left in it after I finished and the last few pieces of lettuce were soaked. I ordered the 5pc Sashimi. It was beautifully presented and very fresh- no overly fishy smell or taste. It came with daikon and shiso leaf as well which added to the beauty of it. Even without an order of rice, this was filling for me. My friend ordered the teriyaki chicken and had enough to take leftovers for the next day. She enjoyed this dish. read more

It's been awhile since I've dined here. I used to go often when they first opened & were located near the Audi dealership. Several years later...the sushi is still great and the price is reasonable for good sushi too. I appreciate that the place is casual and not stuffy. I recommend that people check this place out! Note- the spicy tuna is different, in a good way. It isn't mixed with spicy mayo, but mixed with spices & possibly chili oil. It def has a kick...be warned if you can't handle spice! read more
