If you're looking for kaiten sushi (conveyor belt), this place no longer offers it. You'll place an order with the waitstaff. To me, the charm is gone. Although seeing Anthony is fun, we like going here for the fast service with the conveyor belt. I hope they restart it! read more

10/10!! food service was great!! they had our food come out very quick!! especially the people who helped us:)) very kind and was quick to assist! 9/10!! the sushi is very very good!! the prices are good, spent 40-50 dollars + tip and was very full (2 people) katsu was a little burnt, but still good!! read more

It's a quick and inexpensive way to get sushi. Restaurant is decent size with few booths and the bar area that used to have the sushi train (but has stopped since Covid). We are still able to get full at the cost around $50-ish (almost 60) for 2 before tips. Please don't come here expecting the freshest sashimi but it will do for rolls, nigiri, and appetizers. If you order wine they will pour a heavy cup so if you want to get a buzz on wine this is where you go. Service is simple and can be quick or slow depending on the day. Don't expect too much. Overall - can get full when craving sushi and doesn't want to leave the Juanita lake area. read more

|s u m m a r y| Rarely give out one star reviews... but got dinner here with my friend the other night & we both didn't feel well afterwards. We really wanted to like this restaurant as there aren't many conveyor belt sushi places on the east side. The service was so slow and the food took forever to come. The food was not good at all so it definitely wasn't worth the wait. Also, the conveyor belt was not on when we went so took away the fun of being at a conveyor belt restaurant! |t l d r| Would not recommend this place to anyone and won't be coming back. read more

We visited on a Friday night and got a seat at one of the bar tables. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Sadly, the conveyor belt wasn't on. Not sure if that is because of Covid or another reason but you ordered with a sheet of paper. So if you're expecting the conveyor belt experience, best to visit somewhere else. Every roll was delicious, and we also ordered the chicken teriyaki! The tea was piping hot and staff frequently checked on us for refills. Best to place an order quickly as the time between ordering and getting rolls is on the relaxed side. We had a great experience and left perfectly full. Looking forward to coming back, hopefully with the conveyor belt on! read more

So many options, a lot of variety and the food was fresh and yummy. Nice servers. Rolls are 4 pieces. Nigiri 2 pieces (uni is 1). We got the house special (ok), spicy albacore (ok, not huge fan of albacore), Tokyo roll (yummy, how can you go wrong with shrimp tampura), salmon avocado roll (salmon pieces a bit small compared to other places), and white tuna nigiri (always deliciously fatty), and uni! But for the total price of $26, it was pretty good value! read more

Came around 6pm on a Wednesday night. Wasn't a wait, but the place was just about at capacity. Sadly the conveyor belt wasn't working. :( So we had to order off the check sheet. I grabbed four rolls all around 4-5 bucks. They came with 2-4 pieces each. I thought they all tasted good. I wasn't blown away but I did enjoy them! The people were nice but I felt like we were a little neglected. It took a long time between different steps of the process. And between the belt not working and the slow service I left not very satisfied. If the belt is working I'll come back, otherwise it might just be to-go. read more

I love this place for a conveyor belt sushi. The staff is so friendly, and I'm always able to grab a seat. I like that If I don't see it on the belt, I can order it. Highly recommend the cream puffs! They're such a good little dessert. read more

Really good for the price. I was disappointed to find the conveyor belt was more of a decoration. You have to use the take out slips to pick your sushi, which would be ok if I knew portion sizes. Items come out like a conveyor belt in random order. It's also annoying when the appetizer items came out at the end. But they were super busy so I can understand. The sushi was really good. I left with leftovers which usually doesn't happen on the conveyor belt. The staff were great. No matter how busy it was the staff were there for you. Very friendly as well. They know the regulars as well which is always nice. read more

A solid place for good quality, reasonably priced sushi in an informal setting. Pre-covid, they used to be a Kaiten Sushi restaurant, but I don't think they will ever bring back the belt. That's okay because the service is very fast and friendly. I have never had any doubts about the freshness of the fish and the variety is excellent. read more

This was for a visit back on 1/23/20 when kaiten sushi was most enjoyable preC19. I remember stopping in on a rainy weekday and welcomed warmly. I usually do kaiten sushi in the Northgate area, so this was a treat seeing what they offered at this Kirkland location. Staff were busy making all kinds of items at the start of the lunch rush. So literally I had a variety of fresh items placed in front of me. I did enjoy my lunch and recalling patting my full stomach heading back home. I'm happy to see that they have remained successful pivoting to takeout during the pandemic. read more

I got this through Uber eats. 6 rolls, very pretty for delivery. I thought it was tasty, but my guest thought the tempura wasn't crunchy enough and felt not as fresh. I think it's mainly cause it's delivery. If the delivery experience is this decent, I'm excited to know the dine-in quality. I'll probably stop by in person and have a rating for in person dining. I really loved the fried California roll and the Godzilla roll. read more

I never understood the appeal of conveyor belt type sushi. Today I do. Even though the conveyor belt wasn't working, I still enjoyed an incredibly varied, high quality sushi meal at a good price. All of the fish was high quality. Delicious fried yams, chicken, and mushrooms were delicate and crispy. read more

Love this place and drive out of the way to get our sushi here, have ordered take out a number of times and have yet to be disappointed! Always fresh and delicious with a friendly staff what could be better! We love to order and drive over to the park and eat by the water!! Parking can be a bit of a challenge but worth it sooo worth it!! read more

We discovered AA thru an Eastside foodie group, and it was probably during COVID when we first tried them out for takeout. Nice little shop, extremely clean, and massive variety on their menu. I think they were also conveyor prior to all of the imposed changes - and I haven't seen that return yet. What I have seen? These are the kindest people, so intently focused on quality and making sure your order meets expectations. You will always be greeted with a smile; they will always look you in the eye while you talk. Frequently with big orders these folks even throw in a bonus as a thank you. Try them out, you will be pleased you did. Bonus: grab Boba or slushes from Pochie around the corner when you come to pick up! read more

Solid sushi place! Prior to the pandemic we enjoyed coming here with their conveyer belt experience. IMO, they're better than Sushiland - in terms of quality and freshness of ingredients! Would recommend the Atlantic salmon for an affordable solid option for salmon nigiri. They also have fancier cuts of salmon, which I've tried once or twice but I personally couldn't tell the difference. Rolls are great! A little small in terms of portion for the price you're paying, but delicious. Calamari is addictive read more

This sushi is good, but not mind blowing. We walked in on a Sunday night and were seated right away. Customer service was friendly and helpful. We were bummed that they no longer use their conveyor belt as this is what we were looking for. But nonetheless, sushi was priced fair and tasted great! My person favorite was the seared salmon and Ichi roll! read more

So, turns out they have lite soy sauce (now). It was not available when I dined there last, maybe just out of coincidence. But anyways, we re-visited the restaurant recently. I even considered bringing my own soy sauce. But anyways figured I could always just not have the soy sauce. Luckily, their lite soy sauce is perfect. So yeah, gonna update the rating for this restaurant. Their sushi is great. Their other dishes are okay, just average. But sushi is great. Definitely recommended. read more

Recently just found out about this place & honestly wished I found it sooner lol. Many rolls to choose from & super cheap! Great customer service as well, they even gave us a free hot sake! Definitely coming back here & recommend everyone to check it out. Also get the Salmon Bomb! read more

+ very attentive staff + delicious variety of fresh fish and non-fish options + clean and warm atmosphere +Happy hour price is hard to beat! We somehow managed to eat 50+ dollars of food here, so that'll give you an idea of how tall our stack of plates were ...but so totally worth it! But I would avoid ordering the chicken karage as it is seemingly just fried chicken nugget-y type chicken from a pre-prepped frozen bag as opposed to freshly breaded chicken. But the calamari IS so good and freshly breaded ...so give that dish a try! Will come back here many times for sure! read more

I have not been this disappointed in a place in a long time. 1. I chose this place cause of the good reviews and I wanted conveyor belt sushi, but they had it off and were just taking orders by paper. No biggie though. 2. The wait wasn't too long to sit down on a weeknight dinner hour. 3. After ordering our food, it took 40 minutes to receive our first dish !! To make it worse, the first dish we got was miso soup!! It should not have taken that long to get miso soup which I assume is already premade and just needs to be scooped into a bowl. It was frustrating because we were watching two tables in front of us getting constantly served new dishes. The restaurant wasn't even busy it just seems like they forget about us. After we got our first round of food, we wanted to order more but we waited so long for our food that their kitchen has closed already and the waiter told us that we could not order more. One of the chefs did come out later and said we could order if we wanted something but we decided not to since we were already getting the bill. 4. To make everything worse, me and my friend both got food poisoning that night and the morning after :)))))))). Really wanted to like this place, but definitely will not be coming back. read more

Since the stay at home order started, I joined a facebook group about eastside eats and I noticed a few people posting about aa Sushi and figured I'd give it a shot. I ordered ahead via chownow and picked it up. Something I was pleasantly surprised with, is the freshness of the fish considering this is normally a conveyor belt sushi restaurant and those aren't normally known for great sushi. I did get some nigiri but the main reason I decided to come here is so I could get multiple smaller rolls. The descriptions for each roll I took off of Chownow. Salmon & Crab: Cooked salmon, cucumber, crab salad wrap with pink soy wrap. This ended up having 2 pieces. It was the cheapest roll and I think a part of me expected it to be similar to rolls that I've had that were riceless at all you can eat locations in California. I'm not too sure if it was actually cooked salmon because it tasted a lot like spicy tuna to me. Not the best choice I could have made and I probably won't try it again since it felt like I was mostly eating crab salad + spicy tuna. This was likely only 2 pieces because each piece was larger than the others. Beast Roll: Spicy tuna, cucumber topped with spicy seared salmon, ikura. Something that isn't mentioned in the ChowNow description is that there is a layer of sauce well. Of the rolls I ordered, this was my favorite but that's probably because I'm sometimes just a sucker for heavier rolls with sauce on them. Tango Roll: Spicy tuna, mango topped with salmon, tobiko. As I write this, I have to note that I didn't notice the mango at all. It's fine by me as someone who doesn't actually enjoy mango but that is something to note. Besides that, I recall this roll being a lot spicier than expected. Pineapple Roll: Shrimp tempura, cucumber, topped with avocado, pineapple salsa. This roll disappointed me the most. I was hoping to get a greater pineapple flavor from it. It's a solid roll but there isn't much of a pineapple taste which rendered the main reason I chose it mute. Overall, I'll go back one day when I'm down to make the drive. read more

Can't believe I have lived here this long and just found this place! I got the Olympia roll, fresh tuna nigiri, and mango Mochi.. their portion sizes really are spot on for their prices especially for people who like to try a few different rolls instead of just one giant roll! This sushi restaurant will get you more variety for less money. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've done takeout three times and eaten in the restaurant once. The food here is great. Having smaller plates lets you order a greater variety. They also have a good lunch special. read more

We stopped by since we were craving sushi and live close by. It's like dimsum where you order on a piece of paper (no conveyer belt) and they bring it out on colorful plates. The sushi rolls are decent, nigiri is so-so, but the service is outstanding which will make us come back. The entire staff are so smiley and seem to really enjoy working there. We brought our 2 year old daughter, and they gave her a small toy slinky and a light up fidget spinner bracelet which totally made her day (we also saw toys being given to another family's toddler). I doubt handing out toys to kids is the daily norm, but we really appreciated the staff being so playful with the kids. Wish we caught our server's name, and the other server giving out toys, but we left an extra tip. My only critique is the wasabi is sitting out on the table and I don't know how often it gets changed (most sushi places I go to, the wasabi is served on your sushi plate). But overall, we'll be here again read more

Doesn't look much when you pass by, but the place is AMAZING! The food is fresh and great! Fast and very pleasant service. Definitely recommend this sushi place! read more

Won't be back. It's been a while since I'd been here. We were looking for a conveyor belt sushi spot, it still came up, but we show up wondering what's going on. The belt is off, the waiter brings menus and walks away. We wait, nothing. I finally ask what's up and he says they do menu only. Ok, so be it. We figure out what we want to order and have to flag the waiter down. Apparently there was something more interesting than customers on the tv. He takes our order and we wait again. A part comes out. We finish and ask where is the rest? He checks and it's in the way... sure it was. Now you'd think well maybe they were busy? Nope, like 3 of us in there. Sushi was good, but nothing is worth the experience. Won't be back. read more

I have been here I believe three times now. I really enjoy the wide variety on their menu and options for just about anyone. Their sashimi is fresh and quite delicious for the price-point. Everything taste fresh and their customer service is good. The environment is casual, which is a plus. read more

Great quality sushi at a very reasonable price. We ordered the sashimi platter, a few rolls and a couple of pieces of nigiri for takeout. The sashimi tasted very fresh and tender. The Lion King roll, Tokyo roll and seared salmon roll were all mouthwatering with flavorful combinations of fish and just the right amount of sauce. I also have a soft spot for white tuna, and the white tuna on the nigiri and in the sashimi platter was the best I've ever had from a mid-price sushi place in the Seattle area. Can't beat the price for this quality of sushi on the eastside. Friendly and attentive service too. read more

Hands down my favorite sushi spot! I love that they offer smaller rolls so that you can try different ones, rather than only ordering one or two larger rolls. I don't live super close but it's still a weekly staple for me. The staff is all very kind as well. The Fuji roll is always my go-to! read more

AA Sushi has great, fantastic-tasting sushi!. I wish I had taken pictures because they were very appealing & creative. AA Sushi is a five-star restaurant, and it is so worth the drive to Kirkland, as that everything just tasted amazing. AA Sushi is a highly recommended place for sushi lovers like me; I loved the dumplings. My favorites were the Seattle roll, the sesame balls, chicken katsu, and the gyoza. The atmosphere at AA Sushi is nicely upbeat, affordable, with helpful and friendly customer service. read more

Service was not that good. Though the employees I encountered were extremely friendly, I had to request a menu, when to order, and my bill. They were practicing social distancing through the restaurant so it wasn't busy. There were plenty of staff to accommodate all of the customers. As for the food, I'm not much of a sushi connoisseur but I was satisfied with what I got. Not sure if the portions are typically smaller with Sushi but would recommend ordering two or three rolls. I will return one day. I would give it a 4 1/2 star for the food. read more

FOOD 2/5 SERVICE 5/5 AMBIANCE 1/5 I have had a chance to try this restaurant a few times now and feel ready to leave a review! As previous reviews mention, this was once a sushi conveyor spot but the belt has been out of service since covid and has yet to be turned back on following the end of the pandemic. You are still able to order everything they server prior to covid as well as some new additions to the menu but the liveliness and fun of dining in here has been sucked out as all the tables/bar seating are positioned around a broken/disabled piece of machinery. That being said, the waiters are attentive and professional. They serve a wide variety of Rolls, Nigiri, and Rice Bowls: The rolls are 3-4 pieces each and priced $4-$5 so that you can enjoy a few different items from their selection. Their roll size and portion of their fish are below average but all the seafood tastes fresh. Nigiri and Sashimi options are displayed beautifully and taste fresh, but again super thin. The thinnest I have seen across a dozen sushi spots on the Eastside. Like grocery store smoked salmon level thin or a piece of paper, it is see through. Their rice bowls are a proportional nightmare as they are composed of 95% rice. Using my handy digital scale, the amount of fish in a Salmon Don bowl came out to 2.4 oz's for a $15 bowl. Highly unsatisfying level of protein and you are left over with so much plain sushi rice with absolutely no fish or accompaniement to enjoy it with that just ends up going to waste. Unless you're into eating a pound of plain rice with a few thin pieces of fish sprinkled onto the top layer, I'd steer clear from their bowls. read more

Sushi was pretty good for being a conveyor belt place. The prices were average, about what you would expect for a conveyor belt sushi spot, even though it's in Kirkland. The sushi belt stays full, and lots of choices to choose from on the menu of you don't see it on the belt. Of course, trying a little bit of everything tends to add up, but we left full and satisfied. Would come again, especially because the service was excellent. All the staff were so friendly, and made us feel welcomed. read more

We got the Lion King roll, Hawaiian roll, V8 roll and Lampion roll along with a miso soup. Everything was worth it and fresh.

Tasty, fresh sushi. They come super small so ordered a lot of rolls. We've never been disappointed.
