    Fatty Roller! so good
    Courtney Y.

    I've been coming here for quite a while now, I essentially only get blue fin tuna and this place does it well. The renovation was a surprise but it definitely improves the flow of the restaurant. The service is quick - though fridays are busiest and often full. The servers are sweethearts, which is uncommon nowadays. I love coming here during work the most, it's quiet and calm. The fatty roller is delish, and their miso is hot - that's all you need!

    Citrus salmon roll in front, spicy tuna roll in back.

    Best sushi in town, and at reasonable prices. Fresh, melt in your mouth sushi. Excellent miso soup. The citrus salmon roll is out of this world. Excellent, friendly service. They get busy, but I've always been able to sit at the bar or on a high top.

    Great sushi rolls and food. Service was abit slow but the food and environment made up for this spot. Some how I lost the roll pics but this place is good.

    I'm so glad I came back and dined in this time. Service was one of the best I've ever had. Our server Kevin was incredibly kind to us. The menu is pretty big and everything we ordered was a 10/10! The sashimi we had was a huge cut of fish. The specialty rolls they had were my favorite and usually I'm not a fan of them because they are too over powering with the sauce. They load up the rolls with a lot of fish so you get a good balance of everything. The tempura was fried to perfection and super crispy! I am totally coming back here to try other things on the menu! Restaurant fills up on a friday night. Would recommend to all for a reservation if you have a big group but if it's just 1-2 people, they have a bar seating option available!

    Service: 9/10. Chef comes to confirm your order and wait staff comes around regularly, even when it's busy, to check in. The sushi does take awhile to come out (our omakase platters took 25+ minutes) but I like the ambiance and it was really busy when we arrived The sushi: 9/10. Some of the freshest cuts I've had in all of Seattle and I've been to a bunch! Some really unique items too. We only did sushi and nigiri, I'm excited to come back and try the rolls which looked amazing. Presentation overall is awesome. Great veg options as well! Portions are excellently sized. I live in Ballard but I have family down south, which means I get many excuses to eat here!

    My husband and I love coming to Tori's Bar & Grill the sushi never disappoints! This was a return visit, and once again everything hit. The service is always great, and although the restaurant can get pretty busy, we were lucky this time and were seated quickly. The atmosphere is always good, and the quality of the sushi is consistent every visit. The uni is a standout super fresh and melts in your mouth. Just thinking about it makes me want to come back again. Highly recommend if you're in the Burien area and craving good sushi.

    Ordered takeout via phone. Order was ready after 15 mins. I got the lion king and hamachi sashimi. Both were delicious! Fresh tasting and satisfied the cravings. I love that the hamachi came with beet salad! The sear on lion king was chef's kiss.

    Rendezvous des amore. So good and such generous cuts!
    Jennifer N.

    Really enjoyed our dinner here! Came with a party of 4 on a busy Friday night. The server Kevin was really kind and attentive. He made our visit really great! We ordered the Rendezvous des amoure, a tempura udon, a few hand-rolls, smoked out and the fatty roller. It was more than enough food to share. Was shocked by how generous the pieces of fish were and all tasted really delicious and fresh. The presentation was beautiful and the food came out quickly, even for being so busy! Our waters were often refilled and hot sake was pouring. Had a wonderful girls night. Kevin even introduced us to other employees as they were closing up, this is such a sweet family establishment. Excited to return and bring others to experience it. The hi-chews at the end were perfect. Had a lovely time here. Definitely recommend trying it out! Such a hidden gem in DT Burien.

    The food is amazing and for the price you get a lot. Fish is fresh and delicious and they have endless different combinations and rolls to choose from. Workers are always in a good mood and it's just a great time every time we go. Absolutely recommend if you're craving sushi and you're in the area.

    Sea Seasalt Edamame
    Stephani M.

    Wow! What a place--all the stars for Tori Sushi. The minute you step inside you are greeted by the friendliest staff ever. We were served top notch by Jeanette--FABULOUS!!! They take such pleasant and attentive care of you, your order and anything you might need. We had the sea salt edamame to start with some hot sake. The attention to detail is amazing--they even placed a napkin holder tightly around the hot sake so it's easy to handle. We then had TNT and Hamachi Hooray--both fantastic. And then we added hamachi nigiri and tuna nigiri. Yummy! Needless to say we will be back before our trip to Seattle is over.

    Took my brother to Sushi and he loved it!! We will return for sure :)

    Tori Sake Grill is the bomb!! You need to try it. Best Sushi I had eaten. I have taken 3 people there because I rave about it so much. Kevin is a great guy. Very cool to chat with as he serves us. And the music they put on is fire. Very fun atmosphere to eat yummy sushi. 202 Southwest 153rd St Burien, WA 98166

    Can you taste this mouthwatering presentation!

    Ok, so it's been a while since I have posted anything new to Yelp..... Well, I went to a new to me, Sushi restraint in Burien. It was suggested I come and try it with my daughter and son in law.. So I did!! Now I am by no means a Sushi Snob in anyway, but holy crud... It was AWESOME!!!! Tori Sake & Grill is a small establishment, very clean and tidy. The staff is very warm and welcoming as well. Four of us came and ate and ate and ate some more until we could do no more. It was AWESOME! The freshness and the flavors were incredible. The presentation was, for me, out of this world! I truly enjoyed every single bite, so did the rest of us! While we chose what we wanted to eat the presentation is what made it all come together. Even the serving of the pickled ginger and wasabi was perfectly presented! We will be back, and I sincerely hope you will give them a try!

    My husband and I recently came here for a sushi lunch date on a Saturday. The restaurant was cozy and we were immediately welcomed in by a very friendly guy who took us to our booth. He served us water with lemon in it, and it was really refreshing. We ordered appetizers some drinks and an amazing sushi platter with a few extra rolls on the side. The food was amazing, the best sushi I had in a long time....and we go to a lot of sushi places! Between the awesome service, delicious food, and cozy atmosphere, this will be a new go to for us!!!

Started off strong with the uni shot, which was really good, and the sashimi fresh, clean, and exactly what you want from a sushi spot. We also ordered the mushroom and pumpkin salad with spinach, which tasted great, but at $20, it felt a bit overpriced for what it was. The rolls, unfortunately, didn't live up to how they looked. Presentation was definitely there, but the flavor just didn't hit. On top of that, they were falling apart pretty easily when picked up with chopsticks, which made them a little frustrating to eat. Service was solid overall staff was attentive despite how busy it was but they did miss our hamachi kama, which was a bit of a letdown. A couple things to note: this place is cash only, and it gets very busy, so expect a bit of a wait. That said, the vibe is nice, and the design of the space is something I actually liked. Would I come back? Probably for sashimi and appetizers but I might skip the rolls next time.

However, expect slow or inconsistent service and just an okay environment. //CONTEXT// Came here on a Friday evening as a party of two. Found a seat immediately //ENVIRONMENT// Honestly the environment felt a bit sad. There was no music, it was super quiet and just not a typical restaurant environment. Even when I ordered I went up and had to write down my order on their receipt lol. //SERVICE// The service was really slow. I understand that rolls take a while to make and they have a lot of takeout orders but I would hope they'd improve based on what they're seeing. Here are some examples: - When we got there, there was another couple who already ordered and was waiting for their food. Three other parties came in and we all got their food before them. This couple never got their food, had to check and then waited more and then just left. We were there for 45 mins before we got there so they were waiting even longer. - Another party got their food before we did and we ordered before them. Also it was interesting in that this person got their order placed with the owner but we had to write our order down - As mentioned it took us about 45 minutes for 3 rolls. I thought this was kind of long. //FOOD// Food was amazing! If you can get past the wait the rolls are so good! They're fresh, tasty and not too large or too small! I got the Akron, Newport, and the Juneau! These were all so good! The tempura and fried soft shell crab was perfectly crispy and not soggy at all. The fish tasted so fresh! The Newport did lack a bit of ponzu. Aside from that these were great rolls Overall, the rolls were good but the service and wait does make me hesitant to come back.

Been going here for several years now - poke has always been solid and the Hawaiian dishes were good not great. But today it was all different - everything was outstanding! Wife got a 2 salmon scoop poke : fish was great as always, but the seasoned potatoes (gamja jorim) she chose as 1 of 3 sides was very good. Dad had the hwae-dupbap (think of it as Korean bibimbap but with poke instead of meat) and the Cho-gochujang sauce was excellent. I had the loco moco and it was better than in the past. Also the banchan with that were fire (seasoned japchae noodles, spicy shredded radish) both better than in the past They sell most of the side dishes as banchan and as a Korean I fully endorse them. I am a huge Korean banchan snob and I will absolutely countersign their cooking I don't know what's going on but like I said - everything tastes better than before. The ajumma who runs the place said business is getting slower as the economy is imploding so let's support this awesome local business so we can keep this place around.
