The people there were super friendly, zero complaints there. I had a decent sampling of the menu: Edamame, Salmon Nigiri, Salmon Poki, Gyoza, Dynamite Roll. The edamame, nigiri and gyoza were quite good, standard sushi pricing I suppose. The people I went with also ordered a Spicy Tuna hand roll and more salmon nigiri. The Salmon Poki was honestly 25% Sriracha sauce, all of their spicy tuna was mixed with Sriracha... I ordered a roll with nothing spicy in it, but it was drizzled with Sriracha. If you really like Sriracha sauce and sushi, this is your place. I could barely eat any of the Salmon Poki because of all the sauce... and the person who did eat most of it has had heartburn and stomach pain for going on 12 hours since eating it. It's kind of silly, but honestly, they need to calm down a bit with the Sriracha. I think this is the first time I've had sushi that used it at all, and I'm just not a fan. As far as the aesthetics of the restaurant, I'm not really a fan of that either. It felt a little thrown together, like they kind of just wandered in and started making sushi one day. The chandeliers are outdated and the whole place is way too bright, but I guess if you're just getting take out, it doesn't much matter. It's a pretty small place, anyways. If it was closer to where I lived I'd most likely be an occasional customer since the prices were fair and like I said before, the taste of everything overall wasn't bad... but I won't be trekking over just to go there unless it's on someone else's wallet. read more

Wow, Finally a great place to satisfy my sushi cravings in the neighborhood. This place is truly a gem, and s great addition to west seattle. Cuts are very generous, and the sushi rice was just downright palatable to our taste. We ordered the island roll, and the sashimi combo and before we even had a bite, we were awe struck by the presentation! Everything was so artful, and not to mention delicious. We'll be back! Frequently! read more

Fresh and lovingly prepared. We had a hand roll, a couple of specialty rolls and a chirashi bowl, all of which were incredible. The flavors were well balanced in each dish, no overwhelming mayonnaise or sauces. read more

I ordered take out and the sushi and mussels were still delicious even after sitting in the box for a good 30 mins. The service was good and they were friendly. I'd definitely hit this spot up again for some sushi and good takeout. read more

Honestly we didn't feel like it was worth it. The tempura was really good, nice and light and crispy. The rice on all of our sushi rolls tastes stale and crispy in a bad way. The pieces of fish on our sushi were small and not memorable. When we were ready to leave our waitress was playing cards at another table and we had to get up to ask for our check. read more

My new favorite sushi spot in west seattle. Their fried oyster appetizer is amazing. Their rainbow roll is full of flavor, I could eat it everyday. You'd be hard pressed to find better chicken katsu. Also, they are great at takeout. Well packed and fast. Prices are great too. I'll be back soon and often! read more

If you have ever traveled, this sushi restaurant will taste like a souped-up fast food Korean place -- low-grade meat, day old sushi, stale rice, wilted lettuce. The only motivation for finishing the meal will be the thought of the money you wasted on this tripe. If everything on the menu costed half of what they charged, it could be somewhat reasonable. I'm not saying don't try it. But I hope you're rich and don't care. read more

I was meeting a friend here who needed a listening ear. What better thing to than eat some sushi. Now the bar is set pretty high in WS with Mashiko, but another friend gave a glowing review of this place, so I thought I'd give it a shot. My order was really different- I had hot sushi (grilled) and cold sushi. This at first was very different and new for me, but I actually the contrast between the hold and cold sushi rolls. There was also some sashimi on the plate too- which was very refreshing. The inside is smaller than you might expect from the outside, but the tiny tables are quaint. Unfortunately, our service wasn't that great- I get very rushed to get out of there...mostly because he bill was given to me before I finished eating and the waitress came back twice to check if I'd put the card in there yet (and i was still finishing up). Now, it's a new(ER) business...so, I can understand wanting to get business overturn so you can keep the customers coming. I'm willing to give it another try based on the food, which again was good- not great but pretty good. So, if you can't get a reservation at Mashiko this is an OK place to come. read more

Small space, good food. I was lucky to get a space for one tonight. Some tables were reserved so there started to be a line up of groups waiting to get a table. Decent prices, friendly service and fresh tasty rolls. read more

Stopped by here last Friday for dinner. I was excited because of all the great reviews of this place, but unfortunately I do not agree with them. We ordered the edamame. They looked old, were undercooked, had no salt on them and just tasted stale. Was not a good first impression. We ordered 2 rolls (I can't remember which ones... though one was a baked roll). Oh man, they came on separate plates because they were just smothered in sauce and had a crazy amount of tobiko on them. They were not good. The fish on the baked roll did not taste fresh at all and was a little gross to eat, but the mass amounts of sauce and Tobiko made this roll kind of inedible. The other roll was OK, as it had krab on it, but it didn't really have any flavor/seasoning to it and just was pretty boring. The rice on the sushi was not the correct texture at all. read more

OMG, the flavor, presentatuon, and selecti9n was awesome. I eat a lot of sushi and this by far was the best I have had in the Northwest! Sashimi slices were huge and so flavorful! read more

It's nice to have a new sushi option in West Seattle. The place is small with about 7 tables in total. The service is friendly and the food presentation is quite good. There are a couple items missing that most sushi restaurants have like fresh ginger and sashimi specials such as fresh toro or sockeye salmon. The rolls were good and very generously portioned, but I found the sashimi was not as good. The tuna came seared on the sashimi order, which I am not accustomed to. Overall this is a good place and I'm sure as they get established, some of the knit picky things will be worked through. read more

Very friendly and good service at this restaurant. The Korean beef bulgogi with rice was great quality and delicious!! The spicy teriyaki chicken was good too. Portion size was great! We will be back - wish it was located in the Junction as parking can be difficult to find in Admiral. read more

Irashai Sushi - Korean Beef Bulgogi with rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sitting here waiting for 20 minutes - we were waved to seat ourselves. We had to get up to ask for menus - no apologies. no one has come to even offer us water or to take a drink order. Apparently they are just answering the phone for takeout and not bothering with their in restaurant diners. Very disappointed. read more

Don't bother. Just don't bother. Seriously. This place has bad food and worse service. We came here based on the yelp pics and rating and were extremely disappointed in the lack of care put into the presentation of the rolls (nothing like the yelp pics), extremely long wait times and inattentive wait staff. It seems the kitchen and wait staff were prioritizing take-out orders over the guests dining in. The waitress was extremely heads down focused on whatever task she was doing and didn't look up at us at all. I would never recommend this place nor come here ever again. read more

Had a pleasant experience. Sushi was good. Prices from their website is not accurate to their dine in menu though. A bit surprised that they didn't have fresh wasabi that goes with your sushi... instead it came in a single serve tiny little packet that's on the table. Definitely putting this on the list of rotating places to eat north of the Junction (Admiral area). read more

When I walked in to this "Japanese" restaurant and looked at the menu, one of the first things on it was Bibimpop - a Korean food. Given probably over 90% of "Japanese" restaurants in Seattle are not owned by Japanese people, but some of them *can* be okay....I decided to order a dinner bento box. It came with California rolls. They were gross - I mean how do you screw up California rolls??? Chicken teriyaki was dry, edamame was overcooked, service was slow... I am not going back. read more

I waited for over an hour for takeout. It never came and I left upset and hungry. Plan to wait a long long long time if you think about coming here. It's a shame because I have been coming here for years and the new management is terrible. read more

Good food, large sushi rolls. Wait staff was very friendly. Prices are reasonable and they have a lot more variety sushi rolls than some of the other sushi places in the Junction. read more

The pictures are totally deceiving. The food was bland and tasted old/funky. The only good thing was the deep fried roll I got but I think that's because it was covered in sauces and it was super spicy. I dont know how this place has that many good reviews it was just awful. read more

Stopped in on day two and it was flawless. Sashimi pieces were generous and everything was artfully plated. Service was great - both the manager and server were very attentive and friendly. Extensive menu and the chefs were very creative. Appears to be a very experienced team - clearly not their first rodeo! read more

Ordered twice and so far loved all of it. Fresh and delicious. Get the chicken katsu bento, so worth it.

Really surprised by the quality of the sushi here. I've been wanting a good sushi place in West Seattle and this is my new haunt. I had the spicy tuna roll w/ salmon on top. The fish was fresh and flavorful, the white rice perfectly cooked and sticky and the 6 piece gyoza was super tasty too! I'm hooked! read more

waited 15 minutes for them to take my order last when the other customers walked in after me. they definitely thought I was a bum so don't go here if you're a person of color they'll assume the worst of you. their food is also way over priced for the same quality of food I can get at any other run of the mill food spots for Japanese meals. read more

We went here again the other night and, as usual, the service was great. The kitchen staff was friendly and inviting and engaging. The food was fantastic. Thank you for making us feel welcome. read more

Server has a great sense of humor. Cracking jokes everytime he comes by. Food came fast, but we were the only ones in there. The presentation of the food was extremely beautiful. So many different type of sushi to choose from. The price is bit high, but it's worth the taste and presentation. I recommend this place for a date, dinner, or overall sushi experience. read more

I come here at least once every few weeks; I absolutely love this joint. The fish has always been an amazing quality and the baked mussels are way too easy to eat. I've had their bulgogi, a little on the sweet side dip it in some soy sauce your golden, and their tempura veggies? I'm drooling thinking about them. I honestly have no complaint other then the prices are a little high but with the quality of service and quality of food! It's what keeps us coming back. read more

This restaurant has great friendly service and great sushi. I will be coming back and I highly recommend it!

Mediocre sushi and horrible service! Had to ask for napkins twice and it never occurred to waitress that I might also need chopsticks. Tea order never arrived; when asked, waitress just shrugged and walked away. read more

I am not one to leave bad reviews. But want to save people some time & money. Food was allright, miso soup was luke warm, slow and poor service, floors were filthy. The atmosphere is that of a fast food teriyaki restaraunt with bright florescent lighting. A disappointing $65 meal. read more

We visited this place for the first time last week, its pretty small so if its busy you'll have a bit of a wait. I ordered the Hollywood roll which was delicious! The portions are big, so you get your money's worth. I think its a great addition to west seattle, and im looking forward to coming back! read more

By far some of the best sushi I have ever had the pleasure of eating, I'm not joking. I've had a lot sushi in my life. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was simple yet nice and clean. Do not judge the black windows from the outside, they serve a purpose blocking out excessive light etc. The place is an absolute hit, I'll be happy to dine here again. I would highly recommend!!! Well priced Small space, great food, and many options. read more

My family went here tonight, and loved the place. I wasn't able to join them, but they brought chirashi back for me. (One of my favorite sashimi dishes, a few random cuts over a rice bowl.) I've been so bummed recently over the quality and portions of fish that I've found at various spots I used to frequent, but this place exceeded my expectations. And that's even for a "Togo" order! Can't wait to check it out in person. Happy girl!! read more

HUGE American style rolls. Didn't need much more than two rolls. We had four. Good for lunch. You will definitely get your moneys worth.

Awesome place the sushi is very very good! I think all the rolls are fantastic my favorite was the Shrimp California Roll and the baked Salmon roll! Get the mani salad too yum! This place is very clean and the staff are super nice and they were so happy to accommodate my special requests as I am pregnant they helped me choose the ones I can have. There's parking in the back I would definitely recommend this place read more

Would go with 2.5 if an option, the food was pretty good, but not at all consistent with menu descriptions. No seaweed salad as described in the Chirashi Bowl I ordered, although they did bring me some when I mentioned it. My husband's bento came MUCH later than my meal, I was almost done, and was also not as described. The service was very weak, not at all attentive for a restaurant that was not at all busy. There are several better sushi places in the West Seattle Junction, I wouldn't recommend or return to Irashai. read more

Im visiting seattle from oregon and we are staying near the japanese restaurant and decided to go! We went in, got seated right away. I like the way they serve their soda (most restaurants water their soda down with tap) but this restaurant doesnt at all they give you the can and a cup to put it in. I got teriyaki and rice and a little salad on the side and it tasted great! I also do not like sushi but i went to try a California roll and it tasted great! Highly recommend to sushi lovers or just craving some good teriyaki!! read more
