Sushi alone is already the PERFECT meal, but torched sushi just takes it to a whole other level (which is dangerous because I can't be eating sushi every week!). Im so happy that my friend suggest Sushi Ave, a new hidden gem in ID with FREE and SAFE structure parking! Between the two of us, we shared two specialty rolls, one fatty salmon nigiri order (2 pieces), and 20 pieces of torched sushi. Total including tax and tip for us was $65... definitely not a cheap meal, but for the amazing taste and quality of fish, I'm not mad about it! The torched sushi is so special here - they layer rice-ingredient-rice-fish which makes each bite perfect. I hate when the fish to rice ratio is off. I also notice that the torching crispy texture was on all sides of each piece which just speaks to the care and quality of their food. I can't get enough of this place! It's an absolute gem on the Seattle sushi scene. read more

Amazing Sushi Spot! Quaint little restaurant but great items on the menu. The staff was very nice & we loved the food!

Got here right before 8pm. Party of 4. I got the salmon lover bento and it was $16 for 6pc nigiri, 3 salmon sashimi, and a salmon roll this would have been 5 stars but the salmon quality was at best 3/5 broken and older. They had loads of salmon in the fish display so I'm sure I got the back end of the fish. ( Which I should have expected but too good a price to pass up) All of the tuna they served was 5/5 not frozen! In the tuna roll and tuna nigiri! They didn't have hot sake or beer when I was there so that took away some from my enjoyment. Overall 4.2 I would definitely come back for other fish other than salmon read more

This sushi is phenomenal and definitely my new favorite restaurant. Located in the Pacific Rim building, there is free 2 hour parking on the 3rd and 4th floor so this place is already my cup of tea. All the torch sushi items were amazing. I love the effort they put into layering fish and rice so it's not 1:4 ratio with a mouthful of rice and 2% fish. The baked salmon and lobster rolls were good but not my favorite - I would recommend these for anyone who does not prefer raw fish sushi. This place has the best tuna I have ever had. I'm a salmon girl but I think I have officially converted. The Toro nigiri is literally melt in your mouth and I order the Tuna Tataki every single time I come here. The restaurant itself is a little small but the food is exceptionally good. read more

Had some friends visiting the Seattle area, so I wanted to come back and order the Lover Boat. Split between 4 of us, the Lover Boat was the perfect portion. You get to choose the 4 signature rolls, so we got the angry dragon roll, rainbow roll, seared salmon roll, and winter of Seattle roll. Would highly recommend if you have a group of 4 or 5 that all like sushi. read more

Solid choice budget friendly option for sushi in the International District. Torch sushi was a fun touch with surprise fish stuffed in the body of the rice. Also loving the lunch special ($11 for 2 rolls? Come on!). They also have some fun rolls on the menu with no traditional ingredients: pork sung, seared steak, crawfish, shredded coconut. Got take out from this place and appreciated the packaging with all rolls labels. Worth a visit if you're in the area. Would stray away from their drinks though. The sea salt jasmine green tea had so much crema that when mixed the drink was practically white in color. Free parking on the 3rd and 4th floor of the plaza. Restaurant is on the 2nd floor. read more

Hidden gem! Great prices for the quality. Top tier cuts with the perfect rice to fish ratio. Other places would charge twice as much, I was surprised how cheap it was when we got the bill. read more

Fair quality at a fair price. The menu has everything expected for a dedicated sushi restaurant. I ordered takoyaki (6 pcs.) as an appetizer, and the torch sushi box (8 pcs. Chef's choice + 2 hand rolls) as the main. Quality takoyaki is served hot, and I definitely left with burn scars. Each nigiri has its own flavor e.g. wasabi salmon, unagi, toro etc. and tasted fresh! Highly recommend the torch selection for the variety. read more

If you have not been here before, you absolutely must bite the bullet and go, immediately! The sushi here was maybe the freshest sushi I've had since moving to Seattle 6 years ago. I HIGHLY recommend the jade role. The ginger tea was delicious, the cucumber roll and miso were great! It's in north ID in the mall and they have security out front if your concerned with this part of town. But, trust me and give this place a shot! IT IS SOOOO GREAT. It is new so there's no wait yet, but the whole time we were there there was order after order being picked up for delivery. They are located in what used to be a cute ice cream shop that went out of business during Covid. It is clean and well decorated and the service was excellent. 10/10 I highly recommend making this your regular sushi spot!! read more

Purely on reviews I tried this little spot out for lunch. It's in a somewhat empty multi use building and is not very assuming. But WOW was it worth it. I have tried most of the hot sushi spots in Seattle, an this place ROCKS. I dont say things like this often. Specialty roll portions are really large, and we over ordered. Is that even possible. We had to take sushi home! taste, quality are spot on. Don't expect much in ambiance but I have a new GO-TO sushi spot. Ate so fast I forgot to take pics. Sorry! read more

Came here because of the 5star reviews. Man what where people thinking? The food was ok. We ordered some torch sushi and a few nigiri. The nigiri does not taste fresh at all. The torch sushi looks fun, taste wise was so so. Probably won't be back. One good thing is that there's free parking! read more

I ordered sushi from here from doordash and I was so amazed at the price and quality I decided to go bring some friends who were visiting Seattle here! The prices are even cheaper if you're dining in and the quality is absolutely the best. This is probably the best affordable sushi place you'll find in all of the West Coast! I honestly rate everything we ordered 11/10! The chirashi bowl was 15 pieces of sashimi for $18. Every single fish was delicious and fresh! And it came with actual sushi rice. Salmon lover special is $16 and worth it! The nigiri were pretty big and if you love salmon it's a must! If you're looking for a refreshing roll, I would highly recommend the ocean roll! It came packed with salmon, hamachi and tuna and the jalapeño just gave it such a fresh taste! If you're looking for something unique to try than this is it! The restaurant is pretty small but they still have arranged it to have a lot of seating! The restaurant is very clean and the service is friendly and fast! read more

This is a 3.5 star review Verdict: spent $65 b/w 2 people; still left hungry; thank goodness lan hue was in the same plaza Verdict: this is more a take out place and would not frequent if you are expecting a high class sushi place. More hole in the wall but value is not hole in the wall Verdict: skimpy on the fish. Skinniest slice of fish on nigiri out of a lot places I've tried in the Seattle area Verdict: fish frequently fall off the nigiri rice. Problem I have not had at other places End note- pass read more

This Place!!! Super friendly, clean, wonderful presentation, good food! So many choices to pick from, even if you do not like raw fish (pick from their seared option plates). Tried several rolls, and definitely loved all of them, but the Winter of Seattle was definitely a favorite. Prices are very reasonable! read more

I was very excited to try this place since I live nearby and my favorite sushi place is Miku in Vancouver which has similar torch sushi options. We got the salmon lover and the torch sushi box for takeout, which were both pretty good! They have a bunch of torch sushi options which were all decent. I liked the spicy salmon one the most personally, which is most similar to the salmon aburi sushi from Miku, but it's unfortunately not quite as good as Miku's. All and all, a pretty good new sushi spot in ID/Little Saigon and they also have some rolled ice cream and drinks which I am interested to try. read more

I like the sushi a lot.... fish is fresh and the price is good. However, front of house is a little spiky and a little disorganized. I've gone here a handful of times (multiple online orders and dined-in once), but at what cost? The one and only time we dined in, the meal was great, until we got a little attitude from front of house when we ordered some rolls to-go near the end of our meal. They have lots of to-go orders and i totally understand the stress of juggling multiple tables and to-go orders, but serving us seemed like an inconvenience. The price, quality, convenience, and parking are all positive points for Sushi Ave, but the negative vibes I'm left with sadly outweighs everything else... Sincerely, sensitive sushi fan read more

I'm disappointed with all these reviews on how good it is. The torch sushi were good, BUT why are there so many rice and not a lot of protein?? We also got their Avenue special roll, nothing special about it. Quality was so terrible, I can go to Hmart and get the same quality and make it at home. First time to ever be disappointed with a sushi restaurant, but it makes sense with the location and atmosphere etc. not very authentic. We also got one of their rolls and the terrible tuna quality made me want to puke it all. It was covered in chili oil, shallots, and just super greasy. Definitely the worst sushi place to try. We didn't even finish all of the order because it was so bad we just wanted to hurry and leave. Be aware if you want to try to save your $ for sushi, you really do pay what you get. I rather spend $100 at Momiji or Wasabi Izakaya than $20 here. read more

Food was solid. Wish they had more variety in their sashimi. Disappointed that they didn't have green tea ice cream though. I did like their processs in 15 min intervals for ordering. This isn't you typical AYCE. It's made to order so it's fresh not sitting on a conveyor belt or big ala carte. read more

The service was very good, and the ambiance is appropriate for a traditional sushi bar. Now that I got the simple things out of the way, please allow me to gush about the freshness of the fish. We orders a Sashimi Deluxe Box, which at $48 was a deal. It consisted of 20 pieces of ultra fresh sushi. Each piece was delicious, with the toro (fatty tuna) and escolar (butterfish) as the stars. The escolar also comes in the Winter of Seattle roll, which my wife and I ordered after learning about this "new to us" fish. Everything was delicious, and I highly recommend others to support this woman owned business. read more

When I am craving some yummy sushi, I tend to order delivery from them recently. I have never gotten a bad meal from them. I really enjoy their torch Sushi. if you are looking for a consistent place to get some good sushi, I recommend them highly read more

Came here off of a recommendation of someone. 4 star for the service but the sushi I tried here was just okay. After running around Seattle all day we stopped in here for some food. My sister ordered jalapeño hamachi to share. And we all ordered the torched sushi box. I should have just gotten nigiri because I felt like the torched pieces all taste the same and there was a sweetness from either the sauce or the rice we didn't like. I ate a few pieces before packing it up for tomorrow work lunch. It's a decent price for the portion size. I've heard a lot of great things about this place and will have to come back to try other things. I just don't think the torch set was my personal favorite. The lady working was really nice and friendly and it's locate conveniently inside the Pacific Rim Center. Parking is free for the first 2 hrs but be careful pulling into the weirdly angled lot because if your car is a bit closer to the ground. You definitely will scrape the bottom of it hahaha read more

Ordered the chirashi bowl from Uber Eats. I was very impressed with the quality of the fish - definitely fresh, good portion for the price, the rice was lightly seasoned, and overall presentation was good! Small nitpick, not enough ginger, but that's minor. I wish I lived a little closer as I would order from here more often. read more

I tried Sushi Ave for the first time via delivery because I was craving sushi rolls and wanted to order some for a mini dinner party. We tried the torched sushi - chef's special and unagi, seared salmon roll, crunch roll, and dragon roll. The prices are fair at around $8-$15 per roll and $7-8 for the 2 sushi piece nigiris. The torched rolls were my favorite out of everything - such a great option that is not regularly available at sushi restaurants. Plus, everything was really well packaged! I will definitely be back! read more

Nice little sushi place in Pacific Rim Center. I came here with a friend and we ordered three items to share - Salmon Lovers, Torch Combo, and Baked Lobster Roll. Of the three items I liked the Salmon Lovers the best, which included salmon nigiri, salmon sashimi, and a salmon and avocado maki roll. I wasn't a big fan of the torched items - there's a little bit of a sweet glaze on top of the sushi which I wasn't a fan of and there seems to be too much rice to fish. I also wasn't a huge fan of the baked lobster roll as there was just too much Kani crab. Overall, I'd come back because prices are not bad and still tasty, but probably get the Salmon Lovers entree again or try another item. read more

Located in the Pacific rim center on the 2nd floor, the outside still has the name of the previous store - hi b3ear. DONT BE FOOLED - totally worth a stop. Rocking out to the Sonos top hits list, you're really here to get the torched sushi. These little rectangles are like treasure chests. Not only is there something on top, which is torched - giving that lovely smokey flavor, but inside the rice you might find some cucumbers, avocado, or shrimp tempura! Of the ones I tried, my ranking: - original salmon - escolar / white tuna (weekly special) - zesty shrimp - wasabi tuna - not spicy at all but a nice mellow flavor - spicy tuna - spicy salmon - great for people who like , was a bit too spicy for me - unagi (only really on the bottom as it was a bit sweet and basic) Highlight was the girl working front of house who was so passionate about the food, definitely ask for recommendations! read more

I got the salmon lover and two torched salmon, all were so good! I'm glad there wasn't as much rice as other places.
