    Yellowtail Hamachi and Pear Salad (pears eaten!)
    Christine H.

    Cute place, twinkly lights, cozy booths, and fresh delicious sushi! The hamachi was SO fresh! there were juicy tomatoes on top with a thin slice of jalapeno. The pear salad was also great, I ate all the pears so you don't see them in this photo. The sushi chefs also accommodated by dietary request without hesitation, (thank you!), excited to go back!

    Stopped by on a weeknight for dinner for 2, waited around 5 minutes before getting seated. We enjoyed miso soup for appetizers and 3 rolls. The fish was pretty high quality and I really enjoyed the flavor profiles of their special rolls. I recommend trying one of the fried or baked rolls as well as a fresh one for a variety of flavors and textures. They also gave us edamame on the house which was nice! Cute, clean place I'd recommend for a date night.

    Staying in Capitol Hill, Star Sushi was a perfect spot to walk to for dinner. The sushi was very fresh as you could imagine for seattle. I ordered the mixed sashimi and himachi lover roll. Was too busy with the himachi lover to photograph the delicious sashimi i ordered . Very happy with both the food, and our server Miles. Who was phenomenal serving our group. Will return next time in town.

    I was craving for some good otoro since I experienced it in Japan and saw some recommendations for this place. The price for otoro sashimi is more or less similar to other places but their alaska roll was super expensive at $9. 5 piece shrimp tempura was $12. Otoro looked fantastic but it lacked the melt in your mouth feel I got from the otoro I had in Japan. The Alaska roll was decent - fish was fresh but overall the roll was on the smaller side. The prawn tempura was soggy when I got home. They did not cut holes in the paper box so it steamed in there. For these prices I expected more thought into that.

    Miso soup

    One of my go to places on Cap Hill! I am impressed with the high quality fish they always seem to have. They have a belly flight which i haven't seen at a lot of places. Three kinds of fatty fish belly? Yes please! In this case, tuna belly, hamachi belly and salmon belly. There is also a tuna flight with Maguro, chutoro and otoro i also consistently order. The chicken karaage is a bit unique with some green herbs mixed into the crispy batter. Its usually not an issue getting a table quickly without a wait. Convenient neighborhood joint!

    Seattle Roll
    Nilam P.

    The Seattle roll was fantastic! Unique and delicious, and the sushi was sliced small enough where it wasn't destroying my mouth. The ambiance was super cute and decorative. The only tiny thing was the service was a tad slow. Otherwise absolutely smashed that sushi!

    On a lively section of Broadway, Star Sushi offers booths inside and tables for two on their outdoor patio. Tuesday night happy hour extends to 9pm, so it's a good night to check out this place. That said, our service was spotty. I'm not sure if it's because they were understaffed or had new servers. We were greeted warmly and servers were courteous, but we waited a long time after being seated and once we were finished with our meal. I had to flag down servers for both our beverages and to order dessert, and then again to get our check. That said, the main event - the sushi - was delicious. We sampled their signature rolls, classic rolls, and some happy hour specials. We all agreed it was excellent. The fish was fresh, the rice warm, soft, and chewy, and overall, better than average for the price. A strong 3.5 stars, so rounding up to 4. It's a solid 4 once their service improves. Bring a date - or your out-of-town parents - with confidence.

    The food was amazing, I've been craving more since I've been there. Our server was so cool. He was very helpful with the menu and describing the food and had such an upbeat personality. It's a nice spot, nice vibe. Has a bar as well. Will definitely be back.

    Mango Margarita
    Jim H.

    We had a great dinner here. The service was fantastic! Many people checked on us and helped us during our meal, each incredibly friendly. They have really unique and delicious options on their menu. The setting was nice filled with a lot of fake pink flowers. Definitely will be coming back here!

    Asian Pear Cider (left), raspberry margarita (right)

    We went to Star Sushi & Bar for my birthday last weekend and we were very impressed! We made a 2 person reservation for 6:30 and they were able to squeeze us in ~20 min early even though it was a pretty full house. We got the Asian pear cider and raspberry marg, which came in cutely decorated glasses (very tasty, pictured). Food: we ordered the chicken katsu, mariners roll, fried California roll, avocado rolls, tamago, inari, agedashi tofu, and two miso soups. Portions were reasonable and prices were fair! Everything was really good, especially the agedashi tofu--it had a unique chewy wrapping and I highly recommend the bonito flakes on top (no picture :( we ate it too fast). The mariners roll was also a hit and my boyfriend, a serial katsu eater, said his chicken was "crispy and perfect." Service: We never brought up that we were celebrating my birthday, and the manager still came out and brought us a free plate of avocado rolls because they made extra. Our waitress Sarah was also very attentive and polite! We thought everyone we encountered did a fantastic job. Overall, this is the type of place you can arrive in jeans or a nice dress. We liked it a lot for our first time!

    Been here many many times this was all time best most flavorful Ramen broth in Seattle! Service is always great. Food is fresh and tasty! Outside patio area, weather permitting, dogs allowed. Great menu options

    Sashimi Belly Flight
    Lori C.

    What a wonderful way to kick off 2026. We found this "Star" of the sushi scene while looking for a sushi spot near the Paramount Theater, it was only a very short Uber ride away. It looked so cute as we drove up and even more festive inside. Fun cocktail menu for young, old and sober. (Non alcoholic) Our waiter was awesome! Patient, informative and present. We were near the door but never cold and noticed they had a nice bar area, too. Even better, we were able to keep an eye on the Seahawk game, as well. I saved the best for last, the food was AMAZING! So fresh, so melt in your mouth delicious, everything we look for in our sushi. We began with the Hamachi Carpaccio. Do not skip this! Delicious, not too spicy and that sauce is to die for. Next we had the Sashimi Belly Flight with Bluefin Tuna, Salmon and Hamachi. This alone was enough for a Happy New Year and proved to us we had found a new all time favorite sushi spot in Seattle. We had the waiter recommended Charizard Roll and he did not lead us astray. Very dramatic, it came flaming and this heated the roll. Once flames died out our waiter came over and opened it up, but more importantly than all of that it was yummy and the three of us fought over the last couple of pieces. My only notes are that our two bake rolls (Lion King and Scallop) were good, but they had a flavor that was odd, not bad just odd. Instead of using mayonnaise as we are accustomed to, they use a white cheese sauce. We so look forward to returning and thank Star Sushi and Bar for being five stars in our book!

However, we arrived just before 10p on a Monday night and the line was down the street. We waited an hour and ended up not getting in due to seating ending at 10:45p. The hostess would check in periodically, and up to the last 15 mins said we had a 50/50 shot of getting seated. The alternative was to get take-out. There were a couple other groups also in the same boat. Overall, the wait time after submitting our take-out order was around 15 mins for 2 ramen. We ordered the classic ramen, extra spicy, and I added an egg to mine. On the card you use to select your order, you can choose the type of noodle, richness of broth, spice level, add-ins, and beverages. There is a separate vegan menu with lots of options to choose from. The ramen was delicious. The broth was rich and full of flavor and the noodles were cooked just right. The meat was tender and egg was perfectly jammy. I get the hype, but I wouldn't go after 9p again for my own sanity and time.

The kids got to pick out a Pokémon card at the bar (huge win), and our waitress went above and beyond--she was so warm and attentive.

Personally, I'd prefer the pieces to be a bit smaller, but that's just a minor preference, As well as a real utensils would be nice over plastic. Overall, such a great experience with amazing food, kind service, and thoughtful details. We will definitely be back!

    My boyfriend and I were craving ramen, but the day was too hot to want to sip on broth, so we…read moredecided to try Kajiken, which is known for its "dry ramen" concept. Upon entering the restaurant, all the tables were occupied, and we were told to wait a few minutes before being seated. We only ended up waiting about 5 minutes. The menu was very informative and provided a definition of what aburasoba is. There were also directions at the bottom of the menu explaining how to eat your ramen. Since it was our first time here, we started off with a peach lemonade soda. My boyfriend chose the No. 1, Homura, and I chose the No. 2, Pot Roast. We both ordered a raw egg on top and a side of chashu pork. We wanted to order the onigiri, but unfortunately, they were all out. After about 5 minutes, our food arrived! The presentation was lovely. We took our chopsticks and mixed everything together, just as instructed, then took our first bites, and our minds were blown. The texture was creamy, and the flavors were packed with richness. The portions were perfect, especially for the price. I absolutely loved the experience here and would totally come back to try their other aburasobas. It was so good that I wouldn't even mind sitting through traffic during a World Cup game just to get it again. Until next time!

The waiter might not understand English which is fine (he was also not Japanese or Korean so I couldn't use those as a fallback languages). As when we ordered the Yuzu Karaage, the Kinoko Aburasoba, Homura Aburasoba and the Peach Lemonade. He acknowledged the Homura Aburasoba order as he vocally said "okay" after each item; including the lemonade, was ordered. But apparently never actually put it on the PDA. It wasn't until waiting around for about 15 minutes *after* all of the other food had been delivered, that I could finally flag down a different waiter as the one who had taken my order was taking an interesting path that would never cross ours -- we were seated next to the front desk -- and ask when my Homura Aburasoba was coming in, mentioned it was never ordered, the second waiter who placed the late order was prompt and I see hear him mention that the Homura Aburasoba needed to be made, as it was an order that was missing from my table. When it did come, it was delicious. The Yuzu karaage was delicious, however the taste of yuzu was absent. It was just daikon and green onion and lemon (I did not squeeze the lemon in so I could experience the yuzu -- which was missing). I just mixed it directly into my Homura Aburasoba instead and coated it with the tantan. I think the place might need to work on communication/consistency, with how they are delivering/relaying orders. Don't get me wrong, the food was still delicious, but inconsistent with the service and delivery. It was also not busy at all, as we were seated immediately, so the staff was not overworked, and it was not during a lunch/dinner rush. Service, mistakes, and inconsistency of delivery of the full items rounded it down to a 3-star. tl;dr delicious food, service and delivery need improvement.
