    Came here for late night hour around 9pm on a Wednesday night. For a small business, it has a very large menu ranging from appetizers, ramen, Korean food, sushi, and curry. Everything you'd love in one place! We ordered fried calamari, it had a sweet flavor to it. Very different from what we're used to but it was good! Only thing is it came out very greasy to the point it was soggy. For the happy hour menu, there are inari bombs, select apps, for $5 and regular rolls and hand rolls for $6! We ordered the spicy tuna, Takoyaki, and California roll which was good- but to be honest, nothing special or anything that really wow'd us.

    We were captured and held as hungry diners. No escaping. Chain-link fence refused to release us.

    Upon entering the restaurant we were captured by Sun-hee (Sunny), who was frantically running around to serve customers as she was the only wait staff. There were about a dozen patrons in the restaurant at the time (5:00PM), with one table having 8-10 people. Big welcoming smile and greeting. Inquired if we wanted a table or a booth, to which we took a booth. As can be seen by the fencing in the center photo, we were a captured audience. No sooner had we sat down, Sun-hee was there with a bowl of boiled peanuts (needed a tad more salt), ice-water in a small pitcher & stainless steel cups and a couple of cups of hot barley tea. Yum-Oh! It was a rainy, dreary evening so the tea warmed us up. The Miso soup was delicious, but was told my Miso Soup is better. First dish out was the Deep Fried Calamari with a small bowl of dipping sauce, which tastes like Sriracha mixed with mayonnaise. When ordering, we asked Sunhee how the Calamari was prepared. She said it's deep-fried then smothered with sauce. We asked that the sauce could be served in a separate dish on the side, to which she said "No problem". While awaiting for our orders, we noticed the restaurant was really quiet, with most noise coming from the table with the large number of guests. Nothing obnoxious, just people having a great dinner experience. The mask on the wall was part of the decorations of the restaurant and added to the ambiance. Somewhat dimly lit with Christmas music in the background. Back to the food. The Calamari was cooked to perfection. Not overcooked (fried) and the light breading didn't separate from the flesh of the squid. It was delicious. Crispy on the outside and tender Calamari on the inside. I tasted the sauce, but I'm not a sauce kind of eater, so just the Calamari for me. The taste reminded me of Salt 'n Pepper Squid served at Chinese restaurants. No sooner had we finished one dish, the Sashimi Omakase (Large) was presented to us. I love the Japanese touch in dishes as is often said, the eyes feast first. Every piece of fish (especially the salmon), was totally fresh and delicious. Small dollops of Tobiko (orange & black) topped the slices of sashimi, which adds just the right bit of salt and texture. The Sunomono (Japanese-style Pickled Cucumber) was so very tasty. The cucumbers are sliced nearly paper-thin and are soaked in a brine of sweet mirin vinegar. This was our first visit to Sushi Hiro, but it won't be our last. Highly recommended. If one is looking for a Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant in Federal Way, you need not look any further than Sushi Hiro. Where else can one get sushi, sashimi and Korean Kalbi in the same place?

    Got to enjoy Sushi Hero for the first time and the food was tasty. Like they say "eyes always eat first" and everything was a masterpiece. We had the following: -Korean chicken wings -fish & chip w/ madai -Chirashi Zushi (chef's choice assorted sashimi) -Tropical bomb - Hiro bento w/ salmon teriyaki - BTS roll Everything was delicious! Highly recommended. Service was fast and Chef & staff were super friendly and nice. Ambience is very inviting.

    Went during happy hour which I feel like are standard pricing for the rolls (~8-9 per roll). Nigiri was on the pricier side. The fish was good but not the highest quality which I don't expect, but it satisfied my sushi craving. Mango tango roll: 10/10 surprisingly good combo with the sweet mango Crunch Seattle: 10/10 loved the crunch and it had more flavor?? Maybe it was the oil lol Seattle roll: 6/10 tasted like a Cali roll Spider roll: 6/10 hard to eat since the roll was so comically big but it didn't really have that much flavor either Rainbow roll: 8/10 liked the variety of fish

    We came by a few weeks ago and it looks like they have a new updated menu! They still have some favorites but added a bunch of new items and dessert too! But do not worry as everyone and the decor of the restaurant is the same. My boyfriend and I still love their happy hour options as it just offers so many of our favorites and we don't eat much so it's the right portion size for us. We did try a new roll (we can't remember the name) and tried their new dessert which was interesting! They did check in on us to see how we enjoyed the new offerings which I thought was sweet as it shows that they are always trying to improve. The employees here are so sweet and remember us as well as our dogs. Each employee we had the honor of meeting have been so accommodating and treat us with such care that no other restaurant in Federal Way. They truly care and want each of their customers to be happy and satisfied. They even offer little treats for our dogs from tofu pieces and boiled eggs. We look forward to what Sushi Hiro has in store!

    Went with a group of friends, one who already wrote a review here that describes most of how I felt. Came during happy hour and we got a few different items, but the main one we were looking at is the sausage set. But the set wasn't anything exciting after eating it. I also got a sushi roll, which was also just okay. I would like to give them another try though since one of the friends in my group said it was a favourite of his, so I'm willing to give it another chance Plus, the server that we had was very friendly and gave us a welcoming environment. A nice atmosphere overall with a modern-rustic interior.

    Decided to try this place since I saw they were dog friendly and the sushi was so good! They have a huge menu with lots of japanese/korean options. They sat us in the back away from everyone else since we had a dog and the owner even came by to say hi to our dog. The waitress offered a water bowl too. Super friendly staff and the food was great. We asked for a tea refill and they brought a whole tea pot out. Large portions and quality fish. Interior was clean and spacious. Would come back if im in the area again!

    Decided to make a little stop and so glad we did! So fresh and tasty! Clean and tidy with friendly staff! Will definitely make the drive to come back . And the cucumber refresher at the end... life changing. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. Hidden gem in the city for sure!

    It's a Thursday night There wasn't anyone when we came in so we were quick to be seated. Music is not too noisy where we can speak without screaming. Food came out piping hot. Spider roll and dragon roll is delicious. California roll is kinda tasteless. Crispy Rangoon is not bad. The blueberry mochi is mochi ball with blueberry sauce on it. Not bad. Price is ranging from $9-$20 per items.

    Russell R.

    Plenty of parking to choose from. Walked right in, was greeted and sat at a table right away. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There is plenty to choose from the menu and was surprised to arrive during happy hour. The atmosphere was bright and cheerful. The food was delicious at a decent price.

    Sushi Hiro is hands down my personal favorite sushi spot in Federal Way. I've tried just about all the sushi in the area, and Sushi Hiro is by far the best when it comes to price to quality. The customer service is consistently great, and Sunny, the manager, is wonderful. The team is welcoming, attentive, and always makes you feel taken care of. The chefs and staff are extremely accommodating when it comes to preferences, which I really appreciate. Their hours are super flexible, the happy hour is excellent, and the complimentary peanuts are a nice touch. Everything here is always consistent, which is why I keep coming back. I truly cannot recommend Sushi Hiro enough.

    Enjoyed happy hour with the kids at Sushi Hiro after a long day house hunting. We entered into Very pristine quiet restaurant and had our choice of seating. We were happy to be told we subbed at happy hour so I got a signature old fashioned and we ordered the specials. My kids LOVE takoyaki so I'm glad they had some on the menu as well. They each got their own order but probably could've shared- they're a decent size! Everything was quite delicious and pretty. They had postings of karaoke nights too so check them out if that's your vibe!

The ramen tasted great but not impressive or memorable enough for me to drive all the way back to Federal Way. I dined in solo and actually didn't finish the ramen or even remember exactly what I ordered. I'm guessing it's the spicy negi. The broth was spicy and enjoyable but definitely didn't taste any different compared to other ramen places I've been to. I tend to eat slow to savor my food, but I felt like the staff was overattentive and frequently stopped by my table to ask if everything was okay. Gave me the vibe that they needed to keep themselves busy or I was taking up a table. Might be great for other customers but it affected my experience with dining in; I usually finish my meals at restaurants but I felt rushed so I just ended up bringing the ramen home for my son, after the second or third time of them asking me if I wanted a takeout box. I'm still giving 4 stars just because the ramen tasted better than mediocre, less than spectacular. I just have high expectations for ramen and prefer more broth/topping variety (I was raised in Cali with options i dearly miss). Plus, I do like that they added a full egg for the ramen (instead of half an egg, like other restaurants I've been to) and the chasu portions were fair. I haven't tried any other ramen places in Federal Way (if there are any), but I guess if this is one of the better options (according to Yelp), it might be worth a shot to try out?

The order included the Hwae-dupbop (which is sorta similar to bibimbop, but instead of meat its cubed sushi pieces ,usually salmon, tuna, and a white fish with roe and hellllaa chopped fresh veggies). I felt like the portion is huge, so I'd recommend eating it out of a separate bowl and mixing it there instead of the big now they give you. Especially since its fresh veggies and no one likes soggy veggies! The fish and veggies were fresh too so it def made it better! The Happy Hour Bento is pretty legit since youre able to get a variety of things, but they all come with chicken teriyaki and then you can choose one more protein from the list. We got the grilled salmon which was decent. Also ordered the Happy Hour 6 pidce sashimi combo with the spicy tuna roll. The sashimi here is thickkk cut.

    Tokyo Japanese Steak House was my first teppanyaki experience. They have been around for over 20…read moreyears (originally as Tokyo Japanese Steak and Sushi house), but not sure if there was change in management or if they just got rid of sushi on their menu and rebranded. The interior is HUGE and can easily fit a couple of hundred people if not more. They have a bar in the front and a small resting area, which needs to be bigger to accommodate the people standing around waiting for a table. Despite the size of the restaurant, they only use a quarter of their restaurant at a time, likely because they lack workers. On a weekday evening at around 7pm, we waited over 40 minutes for a table even though there was plenty of seating to be had. Tokyo serves a variety of different meat and combo options including filet mignon, chicken, scallops, ribeye, shrimp, calamari, etc.. Each combo comes with miso soup, side salad (iceberg lettuce with tomato and shredded carrot with ranch) , and a bowl of white rice with the option to upgrade your rice to fried rice for $6 more. They also have complimentary piña colada sherbet for dessert. For my meal, I chose the CALAMARI + SCALLOP combo. For those who have never had teppanyaki before, it's as much about the show as it is about the meal. It's an interesting setup as you and your party sit with other parties around a large grill- it's social dining. After you get your soup and salad, the teppanyaki chef brings his cart over to the table and lights up the grill with alcohol and oil for a fiery opening. He then starts grilling food and puts the food directly on your plate depending on what people ordered. For the first course, the teppanyaki chef grills mushrooms and onions for all. He then flips eggs and makes fried rice. Afterwards, he starts grilling the meat and then grills another round of veggies (bean sprouts and cabbage) for everyone. There are two dipping sauces: A1 Sauce and A2 Sauce. A1 (soy-based) is used for beef and chicken and A2 (mayonnaise-based) is used for seafood. I personally preferred A1 much more than A2 as it was sweeter and less watery. Then again, both sauces fell flat in my opinion. It would have been better if they had provided teriyaki sauce instead. Unlike the usual CALAMARI rings that you get at most restaurants, they grilled a steak of it and cut it up into small pieces. It was moist but kind of rubbery with little taste. The SCALLOPS were better than the calamari, but I can honestly say they weren't super sweet or flavorful either. I tried a bite of my companion's FILET MIGNON and I regret not getting that instead. It was moist, juicy, and tender. Now I know to order steak when I go to another steak house. Portions are generous and I was stuffed by the end of the meal. With that said, prices are between $20-$30 per person and other than the piña colada sherbet, I can't say that I was impressed by the quality of the food; the food was just bland. Our chef, Sonny, was extremely nice, personable, and attentive, putting on a fantastic show for our party. However, as aforementioned, the general service was on the slower side and I definitely wouldn't wait 40 minutes again for a meal. The atmosphere is dark and the music is loud and so you can't really have a conversation with the people around you. The interior is also worn and dated and in much need of a refresh. Overall: 3/5 for food, 2.5/5 for service, 2.5/5 for atmosphere

    It's such a fun place to go and watch them cook in front of you. They're comedians and social…read moreentertainers all in 1. This place is definitely expensive.So plan on that.

    Akasaka is a family-owned Japanese restaurant in Federal Way that genuinely feels like stepping…read moreinto a time capsule. Open since 1987, it has a charm and character that you just don't find in many restaurants anymore. I walked in on a Friday night and was honestly shocked to see this huge, beautiful restaurant completely empty. I was the only customer there. But the moment I walked in, the owners greeted me with huge smiles and such warm energy. Even though I was only ordering food to go, they treated me with an incredible amount of kindness and hospitality. The restaurant itself is amazing. They have a live amaebi tank, traditional private dining rooms where you take your shoes off, and an interior that feels like it has been preserved from another era. It doesn't feel manufactured or designed to be trendy--it feels authentic, lived-in, and full of history. It's the kind of restaurant we just don't see much anymore. I ordered the sashimi moriawase, Matsu sushi, and beef yakisoba. When my food was ready, the owners surprised me by throwing in a huge miso soup and thanked me so sincerely for coming in. I'll admit, leaving actually made me a little sad. These were complete strangers who had treated me with so much warmth, and I couldn't stop thinking about how the restaurant would be empty again after I left. Thankfully, the food gave me another reason to write this review because it was absolutely delicious. The sashimi and sushi were incredibly fresh and clean tasting, with excellent cuts and quality. They even included otoro with the sashimi. Otoro! How often do you get that included in a sashimi assortment? It was fantastic. The beef yakisoba was also cooked perfectly--savory, well seasoned, and exactly the kind of comforting Japanese food I was hoping for. The food here isn't about fancy plating, trendy ingredients, or trying to impress you with presentation. It feels like honest, old-school neighborhood Japanese food made with genuinely high-quality ingredients. And personally, I love that. I really hope more people discover Akasaka and support this place. A family-owned restaurant that has been serving its community since 1987 deserves to keep going for many more years. Restaurants like this--and owners who treat complete strangers with this much kindness--are what give a neighborhood its character. Highly, highly recommend Akasaka. Please give this place a try.

    It's been over a year since my last review. When available,…read morewhen a four seater is available, we invite other couples to experience Chef Sean's sushi. They all know it's strictly sushi, sashimi, nigiri, etc... You don't get ramen, teriyaki meat dishes, katsu like other establishments. Should be called Sean's Strictly Sushi hahaha. I've also invited my gal friends who love sushi when I can get a two seater. Hubby doesn't mind not having some just so my friends could experience chef Sean's sushi. Everyone we've invited to dine with us were so impressed, including a sushi chef from Palm Springs. Her father owned a popular place for our 50 years, but has since retired. She was very impressed by the quality, and craftsmanship, the love Chef Sean pours into his creations. All my friends know how difficult it is to get reservations, so they rely on me to make them. Chef Sean keeps his little place clean, with relaxing music playing at all times. Usually Japanese music. But last night he had jazz playing and we loved it. We've been visiting Sean, and my check ins say we've been here over 50 times wow!!! Not only does he create quality delicious sushi, sauces, and tea, but we got to know him so well, we call him friend. Even like family since we got to meet his little one also. When he had the time, Chef Sean and his little one had attend events that we put on. Thank you Chef Sean for giving us quality sushi in our little town of Kent. If you haven't been to sushi Kaunta, follow him on IG so you know when reservations are open, and you can enjoy even if you have to wait weeks to get in.

    I almost don't want to leave a review, space is already limited. :)…read more The fish is so fresh, the chef tells you exactly where everything is from, and freshly grated wasabi. I always just get sashimi, so I can't speak to anything else. Since it is a one man operation it is reservation only and no take out. Very much worth it to take the effort and make a reservation. You will need to preorder with your reservation so he has exactly the right amount of product, I do like that aspect of it.
