What a find! We were 9th in line at AYCE down the street and didn't want to wait. Found Sushi Ave through yelp and so happy we found it!! Got seated immediately and the sushi was delicious, and price was super reasonable! We both got the salmon lovers sushi box. Beautifully presented and scrumptious. Service was excellent. The house salad was also a delicious surprise! We will absolutely be back!! What a find!! read more

Food was good. There was a bit of a wait but they acknowledged it. They also offered free ice cream at the end which was really really good. Turned out to be a very good dinner and everyone enjoyed it. read more

It was good! Ordered to my hotel via uber eats and it came pretty quickly. The chirashi bowl was average but good considering the price. The fish was fresh, pretty standard. The rainbow roll was good - good size as well. The karaage chicken came free but was kind of sticky and greasy. Didn't like it much. read more

I love ordering takeout from sushi ave! They have a lot of good BOGO deals on Ubereats. My favorite roll from here is the seared salmon roll. The fish tastes super fresh and there is a good ratio of filling to rice. Service is super friendly and quick. I've ordered takeout from there three times now and have been satisfied each time. If you're looking for affordable sushi in the ID area Sushi Ave is a solid option. The restaurant itself is pretty small and casual no frills. solid spot for sushi! read more

Came here because of the great reviews, but left pretty disappointed. We ordered tempura, torch sushi, and a BFF roll. The sushi (too much rice) was just okay, nothing special. It honestly reminded me of the kind you get at a Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet. Nothing really stood out in terms of freshness or flavor. The tempura was the biggest letdown. It tasted like frozen tempura that had been microwaved and served lukewarm. It came out just a few minutes after we ordered, and my husband immediately went, "Uh oh." That pretty much summed it up. I was curious and looked up Costco's frozen tempura and they looked the same especially the shrimp tails. If it weren't for the tempura, I probably would've given this place three stars for the service and price but it's unacceptable for a sushi restaurant to serve frozen tempura. Needless to say, we won't be coming back. read more

Solid takeout sushi place in international district! We ordered togo: the spicy killer roll, red dragon roll, salmon lover and hot volcano roll. Everything was pretty good and tasted fresh! The only thing we'd skip next time is the hot volcano roll. It's a little messy and I don't entirely understand what they were going for with that. In total this was around $67 which is not bad for Seattle prices and for at least being fresh! read more

Sushi Ave is one of my favorite spots to get sushi! It's located inside the Pacific Rim Center and there's complimentary 2-hour parking in the garage. I feel like this place is a "if you know you know" spot. I love how affordable their rolls are compared to other sushi spots I've been to and their seafood is high quality. The workers are friendly and service is quick. It's a smaller restaurant with a couple tables and it seems a lot of their business is takeout orders, but I felt like our food came out quickly despite them working on online orders at the same time. They start you off with the house salad tossed in a miso sesame dressing that I inhale. My boyfriend and I ordered the Creamy Scallop Roll, the Angry Dragon Roll (recommend!) and the 8-piece torch sushi box. For the torch sushi, we picked wasabi tuna, unagi, spicy salmon, and salmon. We loooved the wasabi tuna torched sushi and will definitely get again next time. When I was here last time, I got the Salmon Lover which comes with nigiri, rolls, and sashimi, I recommend that one too! See you again soon, Sushi Ave :) read more

This is my favorite casual sushi spot in all of Seattle. The portions and quality to price ratio is insane. I always get the Salmon Lover and Creamy Scallop roll. I've gotten them at least 5 times, and never has the quality been off or the consistency been different. The fish freshness continues to amaze me every time I order. The salmon lover comes with 3 sashimi slices, 8 maki pieces, and 6 nigiri pieces. The scallop roll also has a healthy portion of scallop! read more

Ordered take out from here through their website and it was easy to place the order. They only allow you to pay when you pick up, but I called and was able to pay through the phone. I ordered for a group of four so we got a bunch of sushi and it was all very good. Their torch sushi (sometimes also called aburi) is delicious. We tried their original salmon, unagi, and spicy salmon. They were all great, although the spicy was a touch too spicy for me. Their Winter of Seattle roll with crawfish, seared white tuna, and ponzu sauce (among other ingredients) was my absolute favorite. The quality of their raw salmon was excellent. The prices are fair, and the boxing and presentation for delivery are good. I'd definitely order take out from them again! read more

Located in one of the most run down areas of the ID, Sushi Ave is a diamond in the rough. There is a bit of street parking across the street and next to the building. After walking by mentally ill homeless and poo covered streets, you enter a small indoor mall. The resturant offers a sit down or take out option. Service is fast and friendly, and there are many choices from donburi, Latino rolls, and even kimchi rolls. My personal favorite is the $33 omakase. It is a dozen pieces of melt in your mouth, low fat, nigiri. The seared nigiri squares are the best value for flavor and calories. It is guaranteed to fill you up. I recommend all of the squares but the overly fishy saba. read more

Take out - really good sushi! I liked everything I got! The Inari was good and the caterpillar and futomaki were also very fresh. They prepared and packaged it well too.

Sushi Ave has delicious torched sushi options so I made the 15 min trek over from Lumen field just for these! 4 choices (8 torched pieces) for $16 total, not bad! 5 choices (10 pcs) is $18 and any 6 choices (12 pcs) is $20. When I got there there they were whipping out to go orders non stop. I dined in for my first time here and the crew is very friendly and attentive. I chose the salmon, spicy tuna, unagi, and wasabi tuna. The torched pieces held their form nicely while I was dipping them in soy sauce and I loved the flaky texture. Not crispy but not limp either. I do however think the mounds of rice were just a little big. It's not nigiri but the ratio was just slightly off for my liking. read more

Located in an unassuming complex with a bunch of eateries in I-District. The sushi was all fresh and well-made. I loved the rectangle sushi concept! The cube shape made the sushi REALLY heavy on the rice, but the rice was really delicious. The quality isn't of the highest caliber but it's priced well for the quality. Tried: -Two Torch Sushi Combos ($18 for a selection of 4 "torch sushi" pairs) - the pieces were HUGE and very filling. They were neat and the components they all tasted great. Again, very heavy on the rice. -Black Steak Roll ($17) - Loved the seared steak on top -Hawaiian Roll ($17) - Pretty sweet with the canned pineapple piece but pretty and yummy! It was empty when we went to eat in on a Sunday but it looked like there were tons of takeout orders being placed and picked up. read more

What an amazing find for sushi! This place serves high quality fish at reasonable prices. Compared to higher end options in the region, this place slings fish that's 80-90% as good as some of the higher end places at 1/3rd the price. Honestly it's actually priced more affordable than the hip conveyor belt sushi places as well. If you're in the area it's worth a trek to the Pacific Rim center; it's worth the trip. read more

I order from here on the occasional weekend and it's my fave sushi spot for delivery so far. I definitely need to check them out in person. Portions are great and they have the occasional deal on uber eats. I usually get the bff or seared salmon roll + nigiri/sashimi of choice (love the yellowtail) read more

The torched box is why you need to come here. The prices are affordable which makes you wonder, right? Since it's raw fish, etc. but my rationale is that even if it's not exactly the highest quality of fish, the fact that it's torched makes it worth it. You are tasting char and fish, not just fish. And char n fish is a great combo, the flavor and textures- totally worth it. We got the torch box, signature volcano roll (too saucy and just meh) and neggitoro (it's sauced before it's rolled and served, so it was a little wet). read more

Week 47/52 in my endeavor to try one new (to me) local spot per week! However, this time, this business IS actually new! They're still going through their grand opening currently and it's definitely worth the try. Note that they are closed on Wednesdays. Not only is Sushi Ave delicious, but they're rather affordable! They have specials too, such as their Lunch Special which is any two maki or classic rolls for $10.95, or three for $14.95. I'm a sucker for spicy tuna, so I went with the Red Dragon Roll which has spicy crunch tuna and avocado inside, and fresh tuna with spicy mayo on top. It was delicious! Tasted super fresh and had a great kick to it. I also got a Spicy California Roll which was also really good. Both rolls were paaacked too, they don't skimp on portions here! I also started with a miso soup which was decent. The damage was less than $30 which is pretty solid in my opinion! The restaurant is small but has seating, and the service is really great. Highly recommend checking them out - support this new business! read more

Definitely worth checking out. This is my first time trying out torched sushi. It did not disappoint. Fresh way of preparing sushi- it is a not a one bite piece but at least 2 bites 1.5" x 2.5" perfect rectangles. The flavors are layered into the rice. The presentation is beautiful and tasty. Tried the $16 for any 4 types (8 pieces). It was a perfect amount for me. The torch special has purple rice, shredded coconut and shrimp tempura. It is one of my favorite, especially since purple rice is very flavorful just by itself and nutritious too. The sea sushi and wasabi tuna and unagi was very good as well. Wished their menu provided some description/ingredients :). Ordered the mango smoothies and it was just ok. Not too sweet but the proportion of milk/dairy is too high compared to the mango or mango purée. This place is located on the 2nd of the Pacific Rim building with free 2 hours parking. It is a big plus to not hv to look for hard to come by parking spot in the international district. read more

Sushi Ave - Torched sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sushi ave God how I wish sushi wasn't so expensive sometimes. My bank account actually cries every time but I LOVE SUSHI anyways. Here's a somewhat affordable place called Sushi Ave located in the Pacific Rim Center in ID/Chinatown. Upon coming in, the space in there isn't too big or special and their service is just the same as any of their place so I really am just their for sushi. I do think it's clean, cozy, and feels kinda hidden. A good spot to go with a couple friends or on a casual date as well. Their salmon is so fresh so I usually order that the most. They are also known for their torched sushi which is also really good! You can actually get full here without going broke. Prices are reasonable for the amount you get compared to other sushi restaurants in the area. What I order: * Salmon Lover: 6 pieces salmon nigiri, 8 pieces salmon avocado maki, 3 pieces of fatty salmon sashimi ($17) * Torched sushi (I usually opt for the any 4 torch sushi combo which comes in 2 of each kind) * Unagi, salmon, spicy salmon, wasabi tuna, saba torch, torch special are some of the ones I get * Last samurai roll * Jalapeño hamachi Definitely try the first two! I can't wait to try some of the other things on their menu. I do wanna mention that they have 2 hour free parking in the garage which is awesome since it can be pretty hard to find parking these days. (Someone take me here again please) read more

I'm speechless. Blown away. This is a new favorite and I'm so glad I came. This place replaced Hi B3AR at the Pacific Rim Center, but the signs haven't been completely changed. You'll see pictures of sushi on the exterior, however. If you're not sure, you can also just walk in and ask. The service was also 6/5, you get asked if it's your first time and then the menu is explained to you among everything else that was exceptional. Every item was also presented aesthetically (see photos) which helped set the mood. Indoor seating is a little limited, but it's a new location that not many know about so it shouldn't be a problem for now. #1-3 under signature rolls are the best sellers (seared salmon roll, bake king salmon, bake lobster roll). I'll comment on #1 and #3 later. The Torch Sushi stole the show. Best thing on the menu by far. These torched pieces of nigiri actually have two layers that vary depending on which piece is ordered. Essentially the bottom is a layer of rice, on top of that is a layer of either fish, avocado, etc, with another layer of rice and then the main fish. We got the original salmon, spicy salmon, torch special (white tuna on our visit), zesty shrimp, spicy tuna, and unagi. I'd rank them respectively with the salmons being my favorite items, definitely suggesting those. We were also told that for their bundles, you can order multiple of the same, so that's an option if anyone is interested. We wanted to try a little of everything, though, so we got one of each minus the wasabi tuna and sea sushi. Seared salmon roll was solid, my second favorite item ordered. I'm a big salmon guy, however, so there may be some bias. The shrimp tempura inside was a nice supplement to the salmon. Bake lobster roll was also really good! However, it's a bit heavy as the rolls have imitation crab meat and lobster tagged on top. Super filling, so worth keeping in mind depending on your appetite. Lastly, the Sushi Ave Special was interesting. I enjoy how the outer wrap is salmon, but I think there's too much mayo for my liking. Aesthetically pleasing, but from a consumer perspective it's questionable to me (your mileage may vary). I took some mayo off myself and it tasted good, but it is inconvenient to do so). Looking forward to coming back and planning on getting more torch sushi and potentially just one new item a visit to test them out. The torch sushi is more than enough reason to revisit. read more

Heard of a new sushi place in Chinatown - ID so decided to check them out. We ordered a few rolls: California roll - pretty standard Torched salmon sushi - needs to be more torched but decent. I like that there's 2 layers of salmon so each piece is like 2 pieces. Mt. Fuji - such an interesting combination. Avocado, shrimp tempura, coconut shreds and sauce. The coconut flavor definitely dominated but also love the balance. Baked lobster roll - this is a bang for your buck in my opinion. They give a lot of meat on top that it's hard to see where each pieces are. Not sharing - friendly and a little messy but still really good and flavorful Jade roll - light and refreshing and I love the cucumber giving a cooling effect of the sashimi inside. Price is reasonable for what you get, service is good as well as they were fast. They also have ice cream which is what I want next. read more

Honestly I think Sushi Ave is quite understated for tasty rolls. Located at the Pacific Rim Center building, this area tends to get lost in the shuffle of all yummy things the Chinatown International District has to offer. There's free 1-2 hour parking in the garage, and the restaurant is located on the second floor. They are one of the rare spots that offers torched sushi, and I want to go back and give them a try. I ordered the baked lobster roll, seared salmon roll, and the dragon king, which is tempura and unagi roll. They make the rolls on the spot so I had to wait a little while, but the taste was so worth it. The baked lobster was tasty, but the base is just a California roll, so unless you love lobster, i might skip that one. But the seared salmon and unagi was amazing. As far as flavor goes, at one point in the meal, the rolls all started to blend with each other and taste like the same thing. Between two hungry people, these three rolls were definitely enough. Tea is an extra $2.50 I believe, and our total rounded out to just about $50 after tax & tips. Service was attentive, and there was no one else dining in when we visited, so it's pretty lowkey. I will definitely be back to try the lunch promo & torched sushi! read more

I really enjoyed this place and their courteous service! There weren't many people on a Sunday afternoon but a friend recommended their torched sushi and I had to try it. One thing I didn't think was clear enough from the menu is that their torched sushi box is chefs choice so even though I wanted to try the unagi, I couldn't make that request. In any case, I'm glad at how it all turned out because every piece was delicious - my favs though were the spicy tuna and the saba (mackerel). All of the pieces had this slight smokyness to them, coupled with fatty fish, a sauce and a layer of crunch, you really cannot go wrong with any option chosen in my opinion. For what it's worth: I've seen other reviews talk about the rice cube being quite thick, but what I failed to notice was the fact they get stuffed with something like tempura or more veggies, hence the side angle for my pic so you can get a nice full view (it's not all just 1 block of rice and a slice of fish!). The edamame was well salted and the seaweed salad was standard but the whole table enjoyed them. The hand rolls were good but I felt like they were a bit hard to bite a piece from without looking savage. The flavor on the lobster hand roll made me forget about that mild annoyance though. All in all, I would come again & would rate this place closer to a 4.5 in my book. read more

The sushi here is always really good and very reasonable pricing. I always go for salmon lover and the torched sushi box.

This is the place if you wanna spend less on decent sushi. Their signature seared sushis(2.5/5) tasted ok and they have A LOT of rice. My friend (a guy) had 5 and was full already. I don't recommend the seared sushi unless you are sharing with someone. On the other side their Nigiri(4/5)was pretty good with very genuine price. Their price for 2 nigiris is about half from other places I went. I didn't have a high expectation, but it turned out fresh and tasty. They also have a ton of sushi rows.

Sushi Ave, I love you so much and wish you to stay open forever!!! They just introduced their new concept - sushi by the lb! (the same as FOB sushi bar's). The price for theirs is $14.99/lb as of now. I honestly think it's 100x better than fob. Just their sushi rice and quality of fish is superior. They don't have as many options but the options they have ALL TASTES DIFFERENT and are all delicious with consistent quality in fish. I want sushi ave to stay a hidden gem forever but wish for their continued growth and success! I'm wondering if the owners changs with this concept as the store has changed layout as well and not offering as much seating as before. Owners, if you're reading this... i hope you keep your original menu as well, this is my go to spot and love the seared salmon roll. Please don't ever change! read more

There are not really any places like this that offer torched sushi, and not only is the quality up there, but also it is of very great value! Most of the business is takeout / delivery, but for sushi, I am a firm believer of immediately consuming it for the maximum freshness, so I opted to dine in. Although it was a bit weird to be the only customer dining in, it was well worthwhile. A jug of water is placed on my table, along with a menu and an interesting jug that contains soy sauce. I ordered the $20 for 6 kinds (x2 pieces per type) with spicy tuna, original salmon, unagi, zesty shrimp, spicy salmon, and torch special (which they say it was white tuna with tempura shrimp). All the fish were fresh, despite the general assumption that having a lot of sauce on top of something is used mask staleness. Although aesthetically, they only place a small amount of seafood in a large bed of rice, they actually have a mix of the respective fish inside the rice hidden, and/or some cucumber and avocado depending on the piece. I personally liked the torch special due to the uniqueness, the shrimp for the texture, and the spicy salmon for the taste as I always love salmon. The only minor flaws I had were the tempura was not particularly crunchy, and some pieces were slightly overtorched, but it fortunately only brought the smoky flavor even more than tasting the bitterness of burnt food. I was pretty satisfied at the end of the meal, and it is definitely worth a visit because this is one of very few torched sushi places I have heard of, and they actually do it pretty well. They are located in the Pacific Rim Center close by Joyale! read more

My favorite sushi place in the international district. Food was fresh, delicious, reasonable priced. Our server was fast, friendly, attentive and checked on us to see if we needed anything else after we got our foods. We ordered the salmon lover, and shared the lunch special; lunch special comes with miso soup or salad also. My friend and I especially love this place because they don't pack a ton of rice in their rolls, and the extra perk is the free parking garage which makes choosing this place to eat a no brainer. read more
