Overall I had a decent experience at Trapper's. One good thing was that we did have nice service and the waitresses seemed attentive and kind. However, I am a bit concerned that the California roll came out looking like this; (some of them had avocado, but not all of them;) I understand that the rolls don't need to be perfect every time. I must say though it's a bit disappointing when a roll only has two ingredients (crab and avocado) and it's missing one of them in several pieces. The roll also just looked a bit sloppy. Another concern we had was about paying. When my partner went to go and pay for the meal, they automatically added a 25% gratuity. Unfortunately for these reasons I don't think our expectations were fully met at Trapper's. read more

Trapper's Sushi - California roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Covington, Washington

Jeez, where do I begin. Walked in and asked for a table. Was informed that it would be a 20 minute wait. Mind you, there were 9 open tables. Eventually got seated by our extremely unmotivated hostess. We then proceeded to wait for 10-15 minutes before someone caught attention and asked us if we would like a drink. By that time, my pregnant wife and I had already figured out what we wanted for a drink, appetizer, dinner, and dessert. As time passed, and the clock hit 10 minutes, my wife finally got a glass of water and her edamame's. I continued to sit and watch her quench her thirst while my beer took 20 more minutes to arrive. Shortly after the beer arrived, her food showed up. She enjoyed it. Tasted good, etc. she ate it all. I got the glorious experience of watching her eat the whole meal while I sat on my thumbs. Eventually she concluded her nice dinner. Shortly after (10 minutes), my cold deep fried roll came out. It was super enjoyable to eat dinner by myself after experiencing my wife eat her food. I guess I would say the kitchen was well staffed. They were pumping food out. What seemed to lack was the hospitality staff. Service was awful. Beyond awful actually. The bar was not staffed. Food sat, ready to be served for 5-10 minutes. At one point we did not see our server for 10 minutes. No one else came over and asked if we needed anything. To put a cherry on top, Trappers now charges a restaurant sit in fee. This establishment charges YOU, the paying customer, extra money to sit and eat their food. If you're a logical, smart person. Do not go to this location. If I ever decide to walk into the travesty of operation that this business runs, I will not be going here. Hands down, the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

I've eaten at this amazing restaurant since they opened the first one in Bonneylake. It's seriously my FAVORITE sushi restaurant I have ever tried. It's delicious, I love everything I have ever tried. read more

The sushi here wasn't bad at all! Great customer service. The building itself could use some remodeling and space is pretty tight and small. I would say it's an average place when it comes to quick sushi. read more

The staff at this location are always very friendly and attentive. Management is on point, and the food is always great. The chefs will put in that little bit of extra time to make sure your food tastes, and looks great. We have gone to Trappers for years, and since the Kent, WA location closed, this has been the best one. read more

The food was really good I had the Vader and my friend had the Samantha. Very tasty,service was fast and she was pleasant

I come here regularly with friends and family this restaurant had always served good food with great service! Definitely recommend

I'm going to give this sushi bar a two , service was very terrible at this location. The bar tender had a very poor attitude towards as well as the restaurant management, some staff members were not at that friendly either. My food ended on one the attendees I was with twice. Food was great but the the service was terrible. Need to get looked at by a professional critic. Do better read more

great customer service! and yummy food, a big group of us got 4 rolls to share and had a good amount left over! The restaurant was a bit warm but had good vibes read more

Sushi was much better this time but service was poor my server never served us water nor did she ask, you have to ask things from her like soy sauce, dipping dish and all. read more

I like the new booths at the Covington location and the good service! good music today too!

The food is great here! Always kind and super fun to bring your family. Service is quick and the atmosphere is worth the drive! :)

Great sushi but pretty slow service. I think they may just be understaffed. Still worth the sushi. They're by far my favorite in the Covington/Kent area. read more

Small portion. Tastes bad. Below expectation. AYCE is only available sitting at the bar. read more

We have been to quite a few Trapper locations and this is by far the worst. If I could give a no star review I would. We visited on a Friday not it wasn't busy at all (maybe 3-4 tables in all). My husband walked strait into the bar and was stopped and told it wasn't open seating. Ok fine we will wait. We were told by the host it would be a 5 minute wait. We waited the 5 mins and more people walked in and they were told 5 minute wait as well. We were ignored the whole time. I asked why are we waiting and the host stated the kitchen is backed up with orders. Mind you there was only 3-4 tables. So that means they were backed up because of online customer orders which I translated as they don't care about their in person paying customers which tend to spend more money. Won't be back to this location . If you are looking for a place with good customer service, they don't seem to know what that is. read more

Not good for Gluten Free. My wife and I have been here about a dozen times over the course of this restaurant being here. Each time we think, 'eh it can't be that bad again... let's give it another try.' And each time, it's very bad. This restaurant should not sell or label anything as gluten free, let alone charge more money for it. Almost every time we order gf food here, it arrives at the table with something blatantly full of gluten (tempura or roe), and we have to ask about getting real gluten free food - which then needs to be made again and we must wait another sitting to get food. Even after the second reminder - the food usually makes my wife and I feel terrible (we both have gluten issues). It's also insanely expensive for a small family if eating gluten free. Typically our fam of four spends upwards of $90 for the meager meals here. It's enough food I guess. But no one is really full after eating here. Usually hunger ensues after a couple hours. Needless to say, not worth $90 if you just have to eat again in 2 hours - especially if you're getting sick from it because of gluten contamination. Having said this, the tukwila location does much better - and does seem to train their employees on gluten free preparation. I don't know how the disparity between two locations could be so great - but it apparently is. read more

Oh my the sushi I ordered on door dash and picked it up I tell you I had the worst sushi ever .The Bonney lake it says it has cream cheese in but I tell you it was not a single cream inside it .And the crab was put like so stingy barely and crab on top of the sushi. Service was not good food was not ready. I am not going there at all use to be my favorite place but you pay so much money u he a bad food what is wrong with all this restaurants. Ambience not my type of restaurant. Need to get better food and.appealing.no green onions on the sushi like they use to do .Wow I am so disappointed... with my order. read more

Treated myself to a online order...one of the items was salmon and tempura veggies...got home opened the bag. Soggy salmon in a cardboard clam shell and NO tempura veggies...boo read more

I love Trappers and they have great sushi! However this location continues to go down hill! The servers and management have no hustle and do not work as a team. They are often standing around and chatting instead of helping their customers. We waited 10+min before anyone came to greet us at the table. Our server didn't come to check on us with our food till it was almost gone. After being done eating for at least 15minutes we had to flag down our server to get our check. During this time the restaurant was not busy, only 3 tables and 4-5 servers/hosts plus the manager were just standing around. This has been my experience the last several times I've been. Go to another location or just do pick up. The kitchen is the only group who has it together. read more

Grub Hub SUCKS!!!! Trappers too. What was four rolls ended up being sushi slop. All the rolls broken and mixed together. Part of the problem was packaging and the rest probably just being thrown around in a car. At least the tempura was cold and flavorless. That's another no. Why do these restaurant owners think putting out a shite product is ok. Are people that clueless that they don't care and will settle for the most mediocre or poor food that comes out of these places? My GOD you are spending hard earned money for NOTHING! It is better to make a PB&J than support places that seem to think mediocrity is something to aspire too. read more

Service absolutely sucks. Took over an hour to get a table. Open bar entirely and I am alone? WTF. The hostess was absolutely annoyed by having to do her job. And did not even do that. I would recommend anywhere but here. This was a total waste of time and money. Definitely the worst seaweed salad ever. I had to spit it out. Was warm and tasted funny. The nigiri was warm and definitely not fresh. I would highly recommend anywhere else then here. I have to say worst sushi I have EVER had. read more

My family and I were regulars at Trapper's in Covington, but the quality and service have dropped so much that we're moving on. Most recently, I had extremely hot miso soup spilled on my leg by the server without even an apology. Time before, I ordered a cocktail and it was obviously made incorrectly, when I raised a complaint, the server told me the drink recipe and walked away. Food quality is a coin flip. Some times it's decent, sometimes it's absolute garbage. Rolls missing ingredients, rolls cut in random sizes and (my favorite) a roll they didn't even cut at all. (Literal sushi loaf.) I've never complained to a manager as as far as I can tell, there isn't one. Avoid. read more

If you want good sushi, avoid at all cost. If you want quantity, this is your spot. Rolls have way more rice than other ingredients. read more

Sushi was very good on most recent stop. Service was absolutely the worst. Had to physically get up and request plates and water from someone other than our server who would take our order for follow-up drinks or more water than go make drinks behind the bar for 15 minutes. I understand the affects of staffing shortages and all, but create a system where this does not happen again! Probably best to not sit in the bar section as I am guessing our server was also the bartender. read more

Considering there were no customers dining in, I would've expected better. Got an extra ingredient I'm picking out of my roll. Can't imagine they can't manage to remove it before assembling the food. Too bad the tip comes before you eat when getting takeout. read more

Trapper's Sushi - If you're lucky you'll get the plastic wrap in your food. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Covington, Washington

I always order too much and get way too full!! Trappers has a great selection, fresh and fast. There has to be something said for safety regarding the rugs throughout this restaurant. It's odd to me that a Manager hasn't stepped up and gotten a handful of non-slip rug liners. I have personally watched an older couple slip and almost fall, I've walked in and slid and we have watched several employees almost biff it a few times as well. The rugs just slide all over the place. Can someone please take the risk of someone getting really hurt and throw some money at securing your rugs/mats throughout you restaurant? It leaves a bad taste in my mouth knowing that this has been an ongoing issue since they took over this space and upper Management hasn't problem solved. Shame on you. read more

Fantastic service, even when the location is busy. We particularly like to sit at the bar for the all you can eat lunch - never had a bad sushi experience here! read more

Came for lunch and they offer all you can eat (totally forgot since its been a while coming here). So decided to go with that and it was totally worth it. I wish I could remember which sushi is which from the picture but all of it are just so delicious! The one that got the "Wow" by other guest was called the Bonney Lake (fourth picture, top one). It was an amazing experience, amazing food, amazing staff! The place is smaller than Tukwila and Federal Way, but since I came for lunch, there was no issue with anything. Definitely recommend coming here! read more

We have always loved trappers, but the quality and quantity have gone downhill. I hope they get it together again so we can come back. As of right now, we will wait to see updated reviews and any improvement in the future. :( read more

Trapper's Sushi - Trappers dinner (comes with the roll of the week) and a sashimi plate. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Covington, Washington

Awful sushi rolls. The rolls consist mostly of rice. The pieces of fish and shrimp are microscopical. The rolls tasted like you eat just rice. We didn't finish our rolls, they were not eatable. And we paid an average of $15 per roll. What a joke. Not ordering from this place anymore. read more

First time I've been to a Trapper's. Don't like sushi, went with friends. There were 3 of us, we grabbed a table that seats 6. The manager came over and told us that it was OK this time. But they like to save the tables that seat 6 for parties of 6. We were the only ones in the restaurant. Then my friend asked to change something on her order. He then came over and told her they did it this time but couldn't do it again in the future. They were out of edamame so my friend ordered the squid salad. The server brought out seaweed salad. The miso soup was extremely salty. Had to ask 3 times for a to go container. Not impressed with my first visit. read more

Service needs some work! It wasn't busy but our server kept forgetting items requested! Food was good! Perfect food portions! read more

Trapper's Sushi - Sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Covington, Washington

I just had their Trapper combo dinner. Consisted of a roll and 5 pieces of nigiri sushi. I had the Andromeda roll. It tasted like rice mixed with some deep fried batter and cream cheese. I wouldn't want to eat it again. The nigiri sushi were like meh. The fish was not that fresh. The conveyor belt sushi I had was much better this. I'd say the quality is in par with supermarket sushi. I don't know why the needed to charge 2% service fee on top of tips. Won't visit again. If you like redneck sushi, this is the place for you. read more

This place is doing amazing fast and accurate to-go orders. Order through Uber Eats or Door Dash. You will be pleasantly surprised. They add all the extras you will need to enjoy your sushi. The tempura and gyoza has always been hot when it arrived at my door. That's how I know how fast they are. They are well organized and friendly. You can even call in your order for pick up. The hosts make sure you know exactly what is coming on your roll. This is a local family run business and I just love giving them my money. The sushi speaks for itself. Each roll is fresh and unique. read more

Service was good and ambiance was not bad, but it was loud. However, the food was terrible. Have you ever seen dry sushi before? The fish was not fresh and there was absolutely too much wasabi in the rolls. Wasabi is intended to enhance the flavor, not take over. The rice was hard and I would be surprised if they used any sushi vinegar. Thumbs down from me. read more

This place had really great music playing while we were here, so the ambiance was great! The service was really nice, but it did take the kitchen quite a while to get our food out. I wish I could say better things about the food though. The sushi was noticeably not the best quality, but the presentation was nice. read more

Very dirty inside, there was a lot of napkins and straw wrappers on the floor. A lot of the tables that were empty still had dirty plates and spilled drinks on the table when we arrived. There was at least 80% of the tables in their dining room that were empty / dirty, which leads me too believe that they are extremely understaffed. That being said I felt as though the staff there needs a lot more training, the young girl that told us there was a wait, forgot to put us on the waiting list so we were sitting there after several groups arriving after us we're getting seated. Once we asked about the wait list, she asked if we are waiting for an order. No, we were waiting to be seated. She then starts to make an excuse that another waitress forgot to put us on the list, which is hard to believe because she was the one that we talked to in the beginning. Lots of training and customer service needs to be had because it was very disappointing. read more

Trapper's isn't actually a place you go to for quality, authentic sushi. More of a restaurant you visit out of convenience, because you're desperately craving something that resembles sushi or ignorance. My visit a cocktail of the 3. My party of 4 , all craving sushi but not wanting to drive more than a mile decided on Trapper's sushi located in the Kohl's parking lot. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, the staff was attentive and accommodating. (We moved tables to take advantage of Happy Hour in the Bar.) Off the HH menu we ordered combo tempura, 3 for 25 rolls, and a puyallup roll. Tempura was crispy and you could tell the oil was not dirty. But the syrupy overly sweet tempura sauce completely overpowered the light, crispy fried vegetables. Sushi platter came out and the first impression was that there was a whole lot of rice and not much more. Avocado was paper thin and the crab meat was sparse. We did have a good amount of scallops on one of the rolls but we will get into that later. This was like get a sandwich with one slice of ham but 2 giant slabs of bread bad. But we tried it. The rice was gummy, again, overly sweet and warm. Still desperate to like this place we tried the rest of the rolls. All mediocre at best but what ruined the experience for us was the scallops. Not exactly cooked but definitely not fresh. Served lukewarm on top of what looks to resemble a California roll. Being the pushovers that we are, we finished the meal and each headed home pretty disappointed and the quality of the meal. 2 days later, all four of us have been spending half of our day with the toilet and the other half of our dehydrated and exhausted. I will not say that this establishment gave us food poisoning but the coincidence of all 4 of us being sick with the same symptoms after eating here makes me suspect. read more
