    Any 4 Torch

    Back again! Like I said I would LOL. This time, I tried the scallop citrus bowl, which was... interesting haha. It comes with kiwi and lime slices. I tried having a bite of scallop rice and kiwi altogether, and it wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't like a "oh yea I understand this combo". The kiwi was sweet, rice was nicely flavored. The scallops were a liiiittle disappointing because they weren't consistently fresh. Some were more fresh than others. Weirdly. Maybe I'll stick with the torched sushi lol

    Was staying at a hotel nearby and decided to order delivery. The quality of the fish is so fresh and has a clean taste. I was impressed by the salmon lover box as it was fresh, good variety, rolls were made lovely and price was nice. I also got the crunch roll and I also loved it! The soft rice with the crunch of the shrimp tempura and tempura flakes along with the sauce was perfection. I asked for extra ginger and they came through. The thai tea was refreshing and helped cleanse the taste buds after a couple bites. Definitely will be visiting again. Would love to try their other menu items.

    Craving sushi while in town and it was a quick walk from our hotel. Very unassuming little place but the food was delish! We just ordered to go since we were tired from our flight and they were quick and efficient too! Loved the flavors of how it melded together. So hungry, I didn't take pics except the first package from the bag but highly recommend.

    My boyfriend and I have been here a couple times. The place is on the ground floor of an office building and very much so has cafeteria vibes, the servers are always nice, but the food overall is pretty meh. We're tried probably 5-6 different types of rolls here and they tend to be hit-or-miss. Some of them taste fresh and flavorful, will others taste odd and like they're a bare step above supermarket sushi. Overall not bad prices, but you definitely get what you pay for

    Great sushi at such a good price! We ordered takeout from here, but there are plenty of tables inside for you to dine inside as well. Their menu is quite extensive with a bunch of different rolls and combos. I opted for the torch sushi box which came with 8 giant pieces of torched sushi, as well as 2 hand rolls and a side of seaweed salad and edamame. Altogether this was under $25 which was such a steal! The fish tasted fresh, and the rice was well seasoned too. I will definitely be back for more sushi!

    My daughter and I wanted some sushi while visiting Seattle after riding on our lime scooters and came across sushi Ave. The staff was super friendly and helpful during are whole time there. The sushi was really good, ams fresh. This is a place I will definitely go back when in the seattle area.

    Saw a new sushi place in the area and we finally got around to trying it. Went on a Saturday night and there were a few people, but we were able to be seated right away. It's a cute little small café type feel. We first had a salmon skin salad that was kind of like an appetizer and on the house, which was ridiculously tasty. I don't know how they get that salmon so crispy. The Hawaiian roll was very unique from other sushi rolls that I've had before, but I really enjoyed the flavor combination! I also had some simple cucumber maki and a Philly roll. They brought us to Japanese cream puffs because they wanted to apologize for the long wait for food, however, it wasn't a long wait at all! Even though there was only one person I think in the back making sushi, we both thought service was relatively quick. I of course, had to end the night with Taiyaki and I got it with strawberry ice cream--it came with popping strawberry boba too Prices were decent and they have a lunch special we'll definitely come back for too, in addition to dinner again!

    Seared Salmon Roll

    Easy and cheap. Their menu is fun and their own. Everything about this place is what it is. You'll have to go in person to understand. From the off beat interior design to their choice of ingredients, even their portions and service. The I'm being generous with 4 stars, the food is 3 stars, but when you factor in the fact that their food is so darn affordable, I think people in the area will seriously appreciate having this spot in this location. All the other restaurants that have opened in this exact location have failed pretty bad, but in my opinion, this place just feels right. Gives me that, I'm on lunch break at my outskirts downtown water over looking job. Takes me back to those days. Let's get to the serious talk. Their interior is very boring, inconsistent, and probably left over from the last restaurant. I'm fine with that, seeing how they aren't presenting themselves as some fancy luxury sushi spot with high prices. To be honest I'd rather them focus on improving their offerings before investing time into looks. To be further honest, I hope find that sweet spot to get to a point where they do update the place. It will for sure attract more customers. Their menu selection was adequate. Nothing over the top, but for sure not boring. They have a many of the classics as well as their own signatures. One of their signatures is their torch sushi which wasn't anything like I imagined it would be based on the name. It's actually pretty cool and unique and not just regularly old seared nigiri. I ended up ordering a baked roll with pineapples and melted cheese on top. Very unique for Seattle, but I've had fun rolls like this in other states. I will add, there are a few other sushi spots in the area that also offer some sort of niche sushi so I can't say they have gone above and beyond. Their service is above average, but not over the top. Our server greeted us with kindness and check on us regularly. Their kitchen is not walled off so you can see the employees hard at work. Zero wondering, what's taking so long. They brought out each dish as it was completed. They even did something kind and fairly genius. They used the left over salmon from our order to prepare us a salmon skin salad as an appetizer for free. Even though they warned us the specific items we ordered would take a bit longer to took, they still took care of us. Huge bonus in my opinion. I could feel their concern for our well being and happiness. For the price point I was impressed in a few areas, yet still let down in areas that I feel like could have easily boost their food rating. For one, their wasabi was real and fresh. Most cheap spot have unacceptable wasabi that creeps me out, but they are not one of em. The fish they used was fresh and tender in a way I could eat all day. Their presentation was very beautiful and their sauces had great flavor. One thing that I personally think they could do to help would be to use more rice for their nigiri, like double or triple since rice is cheap. I also wished the seared salmon had sauce on it. There were other things my heart desired for 5 star sushi but at this price point they exceeded or met my expectations.

    4.5 stars (5 for the price point). We tried the happy hour omakase (the 19 course, at a table/not…read moreat the counter) which is a great deal (their regular omakase is very affordable too, as compared to a lot of places especially NYC). It seems great for special occasions (we saw them coming by with a polaroid for those celebrating such as birthdays or anniversaries. I enjoyed how relaxed the vibes are at this place. I wish they had more cold tea options for the summer and more non-alcoholic drinks in general, but still had a great experience. The fish selection is fresh and the pieces are very manageable. It feels like there is a local touch with the salmon course/pieces. My husband is left handed and I was very impressed our waiter noticed and adjusted accordingly. I especially loved their soy sauce (which they said was house made). Fun little date night out and we really did enjoy it. Highly recommend making a reservation as that is what we did.

Reservations during off peak dinner hours aren't too difficult to get on a weeknight and street parking was fairly easy to find. The omakase / tasting menu is 19 bites, which is a decent amount of food, but overall the fish quality was really disappointing. There were only about 4-5 pieces of nigiri that tasted fresh and clean; the white fish that you start with in particular were just not a fun texture or flavor. The shellfish course and sweet shrimp were solid though. Unfortunately, besides the fish, the rice was a total flop too. It just felt dried out as if they had been pre portioned well ahead of time and under seasoned. Part of the joy of a course menu, if you want slightly warm / room temperature rice against the cool fish, but you get zero of that contrast here.

Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!

Since my birthday fell on a Wednesday, we were lucky enough to have Chef Shiro Kashiba himself behind the counter preparing and serving our meal. The entire experience was incredible. The service was organized, attentive, and made the evening feel truly special. Chef Shiro Kashiba is knowledgeable, entertaining, and incredibly passionate about his craft. With every course, from salmon and tuna to white fish, mackerel, shellfish, and eel, he explained how each piece should be eaten, where the fish was sourced, and even shared personal stories from his career. It felt like he was telling a story through every piece of sushi he prepared, making the experience both captivating and unforgettable. Chef Shiro Kashiba is truly inspiring. It was also wonderful to see that everyone seated at our counter had traveled from out of state just to experience his omakase, which speaks volumes about his reputation. This was, without a doubt, the best sushi omakase experience I've ever had. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and every bite was thoughtfully prepared. The flavors were unlike any sushi I've had before and gave me a whole new appreciation for how extraordinary sushi can be when it's crafted by a chef with such deep knowledge and experience. I would absolutely love to come back again. I left feeling completely satisfied and fulfilled, yet hungry for more of this amazing sushi experience. Thank you, Chef Shiro Kashiba, for making my birthday so memorable!

Our food tour was very intimate, just the two of us plus the guide. One of the restaurants we visited was called Shiro. We arrived mid-afternoon, while the restaurant was closed to the public. We were each served two pieces of Nigiri and told the story about Shiro. The two pieces that we were served were phenomenal and the story fascinating. We found out when Chef Shiro would be working next and cancelled another dinner reservation so we could try more of his food. When we arrived before opening time, there was already a woman waiting at the door. After us, a Seattle software engineer and three of his Canadian co-workers arrived. We had all arrived early because sitting at the bar in front of Shiro was on a first come, first served basis, reservations were not taken for that privilege. The year after we dined, we read that Shiro had retired. We were so disappointed that we would not get to eat his food again. Then we learned that Shiro opened a new restaurant and we planned on making a trip up to Seattle. Twelve years later, we finally made it. Reservations were made through opentable.com two months in advance. We wanted the Omakase, sitting at the bar, in front of the Master. Well, when we arrived, we found that Shiro only works on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. (sigh) Still, we had a great meal prepared by an amazing chef who hailed from Laos, whose name escapes me now. We had a pretty good conversation despite the background noise from the rest of the restaurant. The presentation was beautiful as you can see from my pictures. We asked for and received a menu list that detailed what we were being served. If you take the time to look at the photo captions, you can follow along with the menu list to see what each fish looked like. And then, on our way out, there was Shiro! We greeted him, thanked him and his Sushi Chef for a great meal. We asked for a photo and he had a staff member take the picture for us. Yes, Shiro is a slight man but not quite as small as the picture makes him look. The staffer changed my camera setting from 1x to .5x and because he was standing one step behind us, we look huge! At any rate, it was a meal that will remain with us to the end of our days. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu Shiro Kashiba & Staff!

I've been fortunate to enjoy several omakase meals over the years, and while many simply let the chef choose your sushi, Sugo takes the concept to another level. Every course is thoughtfully orchestrated, with each piece expertly prepared and presented right in front of you. Watching the chefs work is part of what makes the evening so memorable. The seafood was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and every course reflected genuine craftsmanship and attention to detail. It was clear that the chefs take great pride in what they create. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to explain the dishes and answer questions without ever making the experience feel rushed. The cocktails were excellent and complemented the meal perfectly. One of the biggest surprises was Happy Hour. If you're looking for exceptional hand rolls and high-quality Japanese cuisine at a very reasonable price, Sugo offers one of the best values I've found in Seattle. Whether you're new to omakase or already a fan, Sugo is a restaurant I'd enthusiastically recommend. Outstanding food, exceptional service, a beautiful atmosphere, and a dining experience that I'll definitely be returning to.
