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

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

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

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

More hole in the wall but value is not hole in the wall Verdict: skimpy on the fish.

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

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

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

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!

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

The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, which was quick and easy. I tried the iced Biscoff coffee and really enjoyed it! It wasn't overly sweet and had just the right hint of Biscoff flavor. Definitely one of the more unique coffee drinks I've had. The only downside was the wait it took about 20 minutes to get my drink. It was a little longer than expected, but overall I didn't mind. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a cozy coffee break.

We got two chicken sandwiches - original and southern bird (a bit spicy). Both delicious and generous servings, but also be warned they're messy to eat! They cut them in half for us so they were easy to share. Much appreciated. Also got strips (comes with curly fries and your choice of two sauces). And an extra order of curly fries that def wasn't necessary for our fam of 4 (2 adults, 4 yr old, and 2 yr old). I got a white peach sangria slushie, too. Not the biggest serving, but tasty! All that ran me just over $70 including tax and small tip as of July 2026. Not a bad deal, and we came home with leftovers!

The space is cute, staff were nice, and portions are pretty large. Parking is a bit annoying. It does seem a little pricey, though. Only downside is the shaved ice isn't super consistent.

I honestly didn't realize this was a window shop. We walked into the neighboring restaurant thinking it was attached. Once we figured out it was outside and a window it was easy to navigate. There was a small line but we were helped pretty quickly. The menu didn't have a lot of options. A few flavors add-ons. I went with the Hokkaido milk flavor because I wanted to see if i could taste the difference. First bite it was really milky tasting but the smoothest creamiest ice cream ive ever eaten. The more you eat the more you start to notice a subtle difference. To me it was unique and very enjoyable. I would definitely want to stop by and try other flavors next time im in town. Being they only have a few locations across the US makes this even more special. Thank you for bringing this one of a kind ice cream to the US for us to experience here.

Sushi Ave provides an exceptional dining experience with quick service and an inviting atmosphere. The food arrived promptly, and our waitress stood out with her friendly demeanor, regularly checking in on us and offering excellent recommendations. We began our meal with the Crunch Otoro Roll and the Seared Salmon Belly from the chef's specials. The Salmon Belly was a highlight, perfectly soft and melting in your mouth. We also enjoyed the Hokkaido Scallop Nigiri and the Tuna Nigiri. The scallop was incredibly soft, and the tuna had a pristine, clean taste and texture. However, our favorites were the Torch Sushi selections: Spicy Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and Shrimp. Each piece delivered the perfect level of spice and flavor in a single bite. Overall, Sushi Ave is a must-visit for sushi lovers, with its yummy offerings and top-notch service making for a memorable meal. read more

However the quality is lacking for the premium they are charging. $21.99 reg price for this barely few pieces of roll that had tiny slices of salmon and imitation crab....

The first time I tried Mikan was at Camp Yelp event where they had decent sushi (and seems to be…read morepopular as they were the first to run out of food). From that, I saw they had a deal for the shrimp tempura udon via online ordering (BOGO) so I decided to give this place a try as a paying customer. The place is located in Fairview Market Hall, across Bleuwiches and seems to share facilities with them. I placed an order and they quoted 35-45 min for pickup. Sounds long for just udon but sure. I went close to the 45 min mark and realized the person didn't even start the order. I waited an additional 20 minutes for the order to be prepared. Can they add more staff to reduce such dreadful wait times? I can't imagine how bad it is during lunch, when it takes over one hour for just an order of udon and there was only one order ahead of me. Might as well just place an order and come back for the next meal... The shrimp tempura udon is solid. For regular pricing I wouldn't find it worthwhile, so I would only order from here for just items in BOGO. It took 2 bowls for me to be satisfactorily full so on paper, maybe it is 2 small bowls that make up just a bit over 1 regular order from another place. The shrimp tempura is placed directly inside the soupy udon so if you don't eat it immediately, it won't be good. Service and handling could be improved.

This place has changed ownership several times and with mixed results. It's could be a place to…read moreconsider for quick sushi or poke takeout. I find the dine-in experience to be pretty underwhelming. Sumo has large monitors that show ceramic bento-boxes full of sushi meat and rolls. It's not what you get. We were served in plastic takeout containers and provided with condiment cups of sauces. I ordered a Sumo Poke Box (spicy tuna) and upgraded to add an appetizer (yellowtail jalapeno). The yellowtail advertised a "special sauce." Spoiler alert: its a splatter of ponzu and a hefty drizzle of sriracha. These are straight-from-the-bottle. The yellowtail was okay, I suspect it was previously frozen. The poke was also just "okay." I wish it was actual tuna cuts and not mashed/minced tuna filling, like you would find in cheap roll. Again, there were condiments, but all were straight-from -the-bottle. I'd recommend other poke places (e.g., FOB) over this as they have more options for customizing your bowls and your saucing.

Overall the food was good and we've eaten here before but we tried different orders this time and I thought it was a bit of the miss. The poke bowl had broccoli and other ingredients I thought were odd and didn't go well together, the fish pieces were good though. The sauce was also just alright, maybe bc we ordered to go and it was on the side so tasted more odd. I feel like the yellowtail sushi didn't have a sharp taste and kind of tasted mellow? Overall is good though, I would maybe just avoid the poke.

However I decided to check it out since it's a lot closer to where I live and was craving some sushi. Their selection isn't as big as FOB's but it's still very generous.

They all tasted really fresh, and I like how they aren't as enormous and one-note tasting as FOB's. Everything tasted unique! This should do the job to satisfy the sushi cravings :)

The smoked salmon roll was disappointing since only one piece actually tasted smoked and the rest was flavorless. You do get complimentary self serve miso soup, very simple with no seaweed or tofu and hot tea, although the kettle was not plugged in so it was cold. This establishment is very small but definitely a mom and pop. I highly recommend the pork katsu meal.
