You do have to put a $40/person deposit but it gets refunded once you pay for your meal. There is street parking available. The place is very small which makes sense since he only serve 1 group at a time. This might be my personal opinion but Because it's only one group, I hoped it would have been a little more interactive, like the chef could have explained his technique and skills while we were waiting or at least let us see what he was doing. We sat at the bar table but it was blocked by a counter so we couldn't see anything and he didn't talk and we had to wait around 15 minutes for our first dish. Foodwise: 10 piece nigiri --- love the different fishes that was available and all of them has their own distinct texture and flavor. My husband who loves nigiri said it was a fun experience. Scallop inari - scallop was cream and soft and smooth, I think the sweetness was a little overpowering though. Seabass crudo --- for how little there was of the fish itself, there was a lot of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. After finishing the fish, I was hoping to have some bread to eat more of the oil. Special maguro don--- I love this dish - the fish melts in your mouth, the rice went well with the fish and the wasabi was delicious. Price was also very reasonable for the quality of fish. Overall, it was a good experience, I definitely would recommend

Amazing sushi! The salmon nigiri is the best I've had in Washington. I'm no sushi aficionado, but I…read moreappreciate good fish as a fisherman. The eel was also amazing. The tuna tataki is so good as well...I ordered two. The buffet bar is a way for you to get full, be warned! Enjoy the sushi and its little robot waiters! Surprisingly, this buffet bar's desserts were short and sweet. I didn't expect much, but the coconut pudding was amazingly rich and not bland at all. Reminded me of authentic Haupia from Hawaii, but more rich and softer. Would highly recommend!!

Upon walking in, there's a drink station with Mango Juice and Thai Tea. They also have a buffet bar with sides and desserts. For the All You Can Eat option, there's silver and gold based on the options you want on the menu. You can order up to 15 items every 15 minutes with a 90 minute cap no matter how small or big your party is. Service comes with a mixture of a person bringing out the items alongside these robots that also deliver your order. With that being said, I've been here a few times ever since moving to the area the past year and the staff has always been very friendly and I appreciate the consistency of the items throughout each of the visits. Our go to are the Seared Salmon along with the Unagi Bowl. The way the sear the fish and add just the right amount of sauce makes those our go to. With more and more visits, we've come to know which items we want to select for our rounds. The decor is cool with the floating umbrellas and the lively music playing. At the end, you can help yourself to an ice cream bar or sandwich near the check in desk.

That's why this next part is insane to say... but these guys managed to blow past my expectations and made me call this my favorite food spot in all of Kent. Friday the 13th we got hit with a sudden snow drop after a recent strong storm just a few days prior. Power in the area was already pretty touch and go, and my wife and I had come in late from work and decided to eat out. I'd say we placed the order around 40 minutes before their usual closing time, so I knew I was pushing it. Shortly after placing the order, I get a call from the restaurant. I fully expected them to tell me they were closing early and were going to cancel my order. To my surprise, they actually were willing to make the order but just asked that I get there before 8:30 p.m. Easy, it was 8:13, and I lived 7 minutes away. Get there with plenty of time. When I arrive, I tip the staff and graciously thank them for taking my last-minute order. After waiting for a bit, Steve, the owner, tells me that they messed up on one of the items on my order and would need to remake it, but they would provide me with the mistake at no cost. Next, he let me know that he provided me with free wontons, just because. The food, as always, was amazing, even the "mistake" meal, which allowed me to explore the menu a bit more. Just wanted to get on here and provide a big shoutout to Steve and the team. Always a great experience. Also, my kids, thank you for the drinks!

My boyfriend was craving teriyaki on a Sunday which as many of you know that teriyaki places are…read moreusually closed on Sundays. However, we saw that this place opens on Sundays (they had several banners saying that they were open on Sundays too) after the original place we wanted to check out had a sudden kitchen maintenance. This restaurant is a lot bigger than other teriyaki restaurants with booth and chair seats, plenty of big or small tables, two TVs playing different sports, and it was the temperature was perfect. They have a big menu so it's easy to see the prices and their offerings, which consists of teriyaki, soups, Chinese food, sushi and bubble tea. Their prices are very reasonable and the upcharge on fried rice is the lowest I've seen but I think there's a reason for that (it's pretty bland). The cashier lady was efficient at her job but definitely could be friendlier and I wish she wasn't super snappy, there was no real rush and we were maybe their fourth order during that time. We opted to dine in and took our seat waiting for food. They have offer fountain drinks and bottled drinks, as well as water cups. We got our utensils and sauce cups first then our food arrived not too long afterwards. My boyfriend got their chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu combo with fried rice while I got their chicken teriyaki and California roll combo. I love that they have steamed veggies as I like to enjoy any remaining teriyaki sauce with them. The California rolls were decent, not the best but not the worst either. The teriyaki sauce is pretty good, it is a great mix of sweet and savory. They are also very generous with rice as there was a bed of under my teriyaki and two scoops. My boyfriend enjoyed the katsu and the sauce that came with it was very delicious! The only issue we had was that the fried rice had no seasoning or color, I almost thought it was white rice with some veggies at first. Other than that, a solid teriyaki joint that seemed to have a good amount of people coming in to pick up orders for the most part.

We both ordered the soba combo, which comes with miso soup and your choice of Katsu chicken tenderloins or pork chops.

The portions were generous and definitely enough to share, but we each cause our eyes were bigger than our tummy , and it was a lot of food in the best way. It also came with a tempura shrimp!! We also tried the curry and takoyaki on the side. The curry was flavorful and comforting, while the takoyaki impressed me with a good amount of octopus inside (not just all dough like some places). Overall, everything was delicious, filling, and such a great deal. Highly recommend checking this place out! The ambiance is like a cafeteria cause you are in a grocery store, but nice quick easy place to have lunch.

The restaurant is cute and underneath the new apartments there in Kent. There's lots of parking when we went, which was sometime after 5pm and there is some reserved parking for the restaurant as well.

I wouldn't normally order teriyaki at sushi but it was for my nephew so I had no choice, it was delicious but growing up in Seattle charging almost 25 dollars for teriyaki kinda blew my mind.

Both chickens were cut nicely and I liked that the fried chicken was not overly breaded to maintain the balance. The rice tasted as expected with the slight hits of umami. The dipping sauce was nice and I left no leftovers. The broth was extremely bland and felt watered down and had a strange taste to it.
