I cannot give this fine restaurant enough stars. I've been frequenting Ryu Nakano's sushi…read morerestaurants for many years and it's some of the best sushi I've ever had. We reserve well in advance and mostly sit at the sushi bar. The space is on the smaller side but I've seen hopeful walk-ins be seated (I've also seen many turned away--I suggest reservations.) Service has always been stellar. We normally enjoy a salmon flight, a tuna flight, the kelp-cured scallops (must be ordered in advance) and whatever else strikes our fancy or Nakano-San recommends. It's always spectacular! I find the nigiri to be just about perfect--just enough rice to offset the fresh taste of the fish. There is plenty on the menu beyond sushi but we admit to coming here for one reason only so I can't speak to much else (although the green salad is very nice, as is dessert.) Plenty of wine, cocktail and sake options. I remember the many years we didn't have a sushi restaurant in downtown Edmonds so I never take an evening here for granted. We are fortunate to have Nakano-San as a part of our community. Check it out if you haven't yet, and enjoy!

3.5 stars! My partner and I wanted to try out a new sushi…read moreplace that wasn't in the Seattle area and decided on this one after looking at the many wonderful reviews. I would say that many parts lived up to the high praises while others did not unfortunately :( The service was amazing! The staff were very attentive and kind. We were seated quickly and were not left waiting long for any part of our dinning experience which was very nice. We both got 2 portions of the 11 piece omakase ($53) and the great pacific northwest roll ($20) to share. The omakase offered good variety and came with an explanation of each cut of fish which was nice. We both enjoyed everything just fine but were left a little disappointed with the quality. Because of all the great reviews and the price point, I think we just were expecting to enjoy our meal much more than we did. The fish quality was not poor by any means but just not that good. The roll also lacked a bit of flavor as well :( I don't know if we just went on an off night or not, and I am hopeful that might be true. The ambiance was nice and balanced, the tables were spaced apart well, making the hum of the restaurant nice but not too much. I don't think we would be back due to the overall quality of our meal but it think it is worth a stop if you are craving sushi in the area.

We had Sukiyaki Nabe which is a Japanese hotpot dish with beef, tofu, vermicelli, and bean sprouts. The sauce base is sweet as expected for sukiyaki. The tofu appetizer is fried with a crispy exterior, and it becomes soft once it soaks up all the sauce at the base. Both dishes were good, though nothing to be wowed. This is a good place to catch up with a friend with casual eating. It has a warm vibe, and the service was great!

It was light and fluffy and full of flavor. It came with a traditional cabbage salad which was very refreshing. The udon curry was right up my wife's alley, and I do like curry but I'm not the biggest udon noodle fan. It still was very full of flavor and delicious. Side note, the dressing or sauce that was in the table was let me say to die for. We put it on everything. If I had it on hand all the time it would probably be a condiment that I used on a very regular basis. The service was top notch and our server was very sweet and patient. We took awhile to look over the whole menu and there are so many things that I would come back for just to try. The only let down was the edamame as it is a staple that we usually order at any restaurant when available. They were very hot and cold and felt like it was a frozen edamame that was nuked in the microwave. The establishment itself was very modern looking with a very clean vibe. We will definitely be back. This is definitely a spot in lynnwood that needs more love from people. Then again, it could be packed all the time, but we were there very early on Mother's Day.

They no longer serve yellow tail (been 5 months or so ) if you raise your price and you start getting rid of sashimi and other choices thats not right. Also they put all the dinner silver menu to gold.. hot pot now is only available on dinner gold (where it used to be on silver menu) Their hand-roll is still good. I just hope it doesn't get any worse and .. Used to be my fav spot but now just disappointed :( Sat down ordered dinner silver dinner during lunch time ... wow took over 30 min for our hand roll to come out .. used to be faster ... you pay extra to get the hand-roll and it comes our over 35min after u order ( there's time limit so) Slower sevice, food quality down, price up (dont mind paying extra as long as quality food) menu selection down ... so sad ti see everything go down. Everything has gone down since opening... Used to like this place ... hope they step it up not just get worse and worse ....

Better than Santouka, honest review got the spicy tonkotsu ramen and that's it. The broth and…read morenoodles are the main focus, and they have got it so right. The noodles are tender, chewy and hold the broth to them very well. The broth is aromatic and herby, and looks very satisfying with the red chillies, green scallion and dark brown fried onions. The fatty broth is well-complemented by various add-ons like ginger, charsiu pork and soft-boiled gluey egg. Get an Asahi and that's an exquisite dinner right there. No picture, cause the ramen left no attention for other things, apparently.
