This place is across the street from where I live and I don't know why I didn't go there sooner. We have ordered a few times in the past couple of months but I recently tried calling and couldn't get through. I'm not sure if they're still open but if they are, highly recommend! read more

It's located between Starbucks and Weldon Barber right in front of the Westin Hotel and across the BofA. There's currently some construction going on in front of the building so it might be hard to spot. I'm pleasantly surprised that this place was good. I called for a Chirashi Don to-go and picked it up 45 minutes later. I'm pretty sure this place is more of a takeout sushi than a dine-in restaurant. Anyways, the fish was fresh and delicious. The price was about $17 and I think I got some good value for what I paid and my expectations. It also came in a nice container that I'll probably use for when I bring food from home to work. Definitely call for your order because it takes time to prepare. Only thing lacking was soy sauce for my takeout. I couldn't enjoy the wasabi as much because I think the girl that took my order forgot to put it in my bag. All in all, if you work in the area, it's worth a look. read more

I work right upstairs from this place (I'm moving offices next month, though! Bummer!!) and love the quality of sushi they have here. I got the Salmon Lover's and the salmon cuts were huge! Thick, long, and fresh! Really delicious. I've also gotten the plain udon several times. I'm often craving just a plain soup and noodles, and this hits the spot. I've gotten the beef udon once, but the beef flavor interferes with the soup broth so I haven't gotten it again. I think this is just a personal preference. If you want a more beefy broth, get the beef udon, if not, then plain udon is just as good! I come here 30 minutes before rush hour to avoid the crowd, and 30 minutes after is pretty calm as well. You can also call in advance to pick up your order! They're really fast with to-go orders. Love this place! Sad I won't be able to come here whenever I want when I move offices. :( read more

Great place for a quick bite, came here twice today for lunch then a quick dinner. I would have given it a 5 star if they had a wider selection of sushi. But overall experience was good and the sushi was fresh. Definitely a place to check out, lunch time there may be lines but worth it and it's pretty fast. read more

Found this tiny bistro near Denny'a triangle and had lunch here on a Friday noon. It was crowded during the lunch rush hour, but not hard to find a seat 'cause most people ordered to-go. Menu near the door, and plenty time to decide what I wanted when waiting in line. I had Nigiri&Salad, which was served with miso soup. Free water, both hot and icy, was available near the wall. The Nigiri&Salad included five pieces of nigiri, and green salad. The nigiri included salmon, shrimp, yellow tail, all of which were fresh and yummy. The salad included a variety of green leaves, seemed healthy and light. Nice place to catch a quick bite. read more

This is a great lunch spot if you work downtown and are needing a quick meal. I've been here four times over the last couple weeks and have been pleased with the taste, service and value. I've ordered the California and Philly rolls which were about $6 for 8 rolls. I've also ordered the bulgogi beef as well as the beef ramen which I thought were just OK. The ramen had the bulgogi beef in it so the flavor seemed off since I'm used to ramen broth being salty and the bulgogi meat made it sweet. The bulgogi don was alright and generously portioned, but nothing stellar. Last off, the place is just super cute. It's a small space so you can see the whole kitchen which really just consists of a four-burner stove like you would see at home, a fridge, and counter space for making the rolls. I'm assuming it's a husband and wife run business (I could be totally wrong) and they both seem so happy with this business. I really hope they succeed! read more

Solid lunch spot! Consistently yummy sushi and the staff are very pleasant. Right across The Westin, next to Starbucks - very convenient for business travelers. I'm addicted - every day that I've been in the vicinity I've either eaten in (a few tables and some counter space) or gotten it to go. The udon is not great, but it's called Urban Sushi, not Urban Udon :) read more

Urban Sushi Kitchen - Seattle and Sunset rolls - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The lady was rude - ignore my coming in for like 3 mins then let me wait indefinitely.

Urban Sushi Kitchen is phenomenal - their sushi rice is nice, fish is delicious and great overall value. The ordering for take out and pickup is super easy. For my wife and I, it's the perfect lunch place or simple good weeknight dinner place. Def a spot to add to your short list of take out places. Hands down one of the best Sushi spots near downtown and worth a few extra blocks of walking if you're debating. read more

Four star review because of price and location. This is not your fancy sushi spot with intricate rolls. Its a simple adorable hole in the wall type of place right next door to Starbucks. The chairs and tables are cheap but who cares? This place is great. The staff is friendly and the menu is straight to the point. I had the eel roll and udon. I was disappointed to see that they were no longer serving the kimchi bulgogi ramen. That sounds like it would have been tasty. The udon is very basic and comes with no meat but its got a good flavor. My eel roll was better than I thought it would taste. I came early so i was quiet but the crows started to fall in as I was finishing up lunch. Come here for a quick and budget friendly bite. I dont think you will be disappointed. read more

Urban Sushi Kitchen - Udon and eel roll for $12.27. - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Unbelievable prices for downtown Seattle! Seriously, my wife and I order from here way more than we should! It's so good, too! Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Below is the owner's racist & chauvinistic excerpt response to my review regarding 25-min wait time, and unfresh fish. Yelpers@, you sure you want to support this business? "Hello, I am the sushi dude(normally, people call me "Sushi Chef") - "You were keep complaining with your very rude behaviour and ugly tone, accent  like 13 years old girl or boy who had a bad day." - "You better get your hearing test ASAP and there are always possibilities that you could have shorter hands than you have rigth now." - "I agree [my wife] is not good at english with rude and ugly accent." read more

Sashimi-grade fish in their poke bowl is A+... rolls are also great. Take out packaging done well, too. Gem.

45-min WAIT TIME. Food with the slow creep of unfreshness. Such is the slowness that I briefly wondered if the failure to get a meal under 45-mins could have been intentional? Missed cues and gentle feedback only brought out unfounded hostility in an petite lady guarding the register. When the food finally arrived, it was run-of-the-mill or unappealing sushi. Hmm, as many previous Yelp reviews (10+) have noted, not worth the wait-time. read more

since quarantine started it feels like their fish quality has gotten even better - specifically their salmon and yellowtail. good value and you can call ahead before you pick up! read more

The prices went up significantly. I ordered twice. First time, the roll that I ordered had two of the four ingredients in the roll. The second time That I ordered, the sashimi was lukewarm and smelled and tasted extremely fishy and off. I had to spit out and throw away the entire meal. The service at the counter is very dismissive as well. read more

Really, really slow. We waited a long time for our order, despite the place being mostly empty (we arrived at around 2:00pm, past the lunch time rush). When the food arrived, it was only so-so, and compared to what we're used to at home, overpriced. We had stopped here for lunch here while travelling from Vancouver to Portland. Maybe we'll try another place next time... read more

Conveniently located on 8th avenue and Virginia, the food is fresh and comes out quickly, but isn't memorable. We all got poke bowls with various sauce. I got the Korean chili but it tastes like it's just gochujjang and that's it. For a quick to go lunch with coworkers it works. read more

The cashier seems to have self-esteem issue, and slams checks/menu at customers out of no reason. He is creating an extremely bad environment for dining and relaxing. If you do take away, maybe. If you do sit down or bring any families and friends, HORRIBLE choice read more

Good vibe and atmosphere however the quality did not match the price. $9 for a shrimp tempura roll and the shrimp was incredibly over cooked. Definitely could have gone somewhere else to get the same thing cheaper and tastier read more

Oh man, wow! This place knows how to run a business and man is their sushi amazing! The gf & I came here all the time till we moved recently and they never once let us down! Their prices are right, the husband and wife duo kick some major butt with him as the mastermind chef while she helms the customer service (she's so nice, she also always remembered our order when we'd call it in via phone!), their food is to die for, and the little interior seating area is modern, clean, and inviting! This is one place we miss having nearby! Try them if you haven't been yet and diss your other downtown sushi spot. Keep up the awesome work USK!!!! read more

The hubby and I ate here because I was so desperately hungry after work. The call of sushi was strong and I had find some place to eat sushi asap. We walked in maybe 15 mins before they closed, ordered, and waited a reasonable amount of time for the food to come out even though they had a rush of people. The rolls looked great and I imagined would have tasted ok too but there was just way too much unagi sauce on them. It drowned out all other flavor profile of the rolls and the fish. I much prefer sushi maki on the hill for this kind of hole in the wall sushi joint. I might give it another try next time when the stars align, but will for sure to ask for the sauce to be on the side. read more

So fresh and so affordable! Most of the menu is less than $10, but one roll won't fill you up (less than the size of a standard roll at a sit-down sushi place). I haven't been disappointed with any of the sushi I've ordered here - the freshness is ON POINT. Even though this is a downtown takeaway spot, I'd definitely enjoy coming here for a sit-down meal. Their menu has great selection, food is yummy, and service is good. read more

This is so close to my work it seems like it is way too good to be true. Everytime I come here, their fish is always very fresh for a very reasonable price. I usually get the seared scallop roll as well as a Chirashi bowl. The flavour of the scallop roll is savoury, fresh and delicious. The chirashi bowl has a large selection of seafood with a generous two slices of each fish. The rice is also plentiful which helps fill you up. I highly recommend this place to anyone within the south lake union area. It can get busy during the lunch rush but it is worth it! read more

Perfect lunch spot. I go here a few times a month often after the rush hour lunch crowd thins out and the food and service has been consistently good. I normally get the Sake Don (salmon), Maguro Don (tuna), Sake & Maguro Don (both!), and Unagi Don (broiled eel). I don't usually go for Poke bowls in general but after having tried the one here with some extra avocado, I might get that more often. As for service, the people who work here say hello and goodbye, the lady who takes the orders is very nice to everyone, and the food comes out quickly. What more could you really want from a lunch spot? It's also a great place to dine solo in since there is counter seating available and many of the patrons I've seen here often do. Lastly, I think this particular place is quite literally a mom and pop shop and I'm more than happy to support a local business in the neighborhood. The only thing that puzzles me is that one of the pictures on Yelp for this place features a Bulgogi Kimchi ramen that I'm pretty sure isn't on the menu. If this is actually an option, I'd be here a lot more often. read more

Quick, priced well. I've had the poke plate a couple of times, different but good. Both times here, weird loudish music playing . . .maybe they don't want people eating slow read more

The fish was very fresh and good but the kid ringing the register was grumpy and had a crappy attitude

I went her for lunch today and am excited to be the first to review! #1 thing you need to know - it is hard to find. There is no outside sign for this place, you have to be looking for it. To find it, go into the door to the building to the left of the Starbucks. They said they are working on a sign - hopefully that will be up soon! For lunch, I got the sunrise roll and the ebi don rice bowl to go. The sunrise roll was FANTASTIC. Seriously - it was extremely good and I will definitely be getting it whenever i go back. I found the rice bowl to be very plain. It was sushi shrimp and rice. I asked for a side of their house sauce which made it a little more interesting, but it still seemed unexciting. I do not frequently eat rice bowls unless they involve teriyaki though, so it might just be my inexperience! Overall - I will definitely be back to this place for more sushi and I highly recommend you do too! A friend of mine also went for lunch today and she is raving about the Udon soup and also loved her sushi roll (california). read more

This sushi here is so good! The salmon nigiri is probably the best I've had in Seattle. The price point is worth the quality. Not super fast if you're in a hurry for lunch takeaway, but if you have the time to stand in line and wait for about 15 mins, it is well worth it. read more

Every day I decide I want sushi, I'm so grateful that these guys are here! There aren't very many good quick sushi options (or good sushi options, period) in the immediate couple blocks of my office. There's that one place in Century Square but I vowed not to return when the pieces of Tuna were dry as hell. I've had several different rolls here but my favorite (as it is at a lot of sushi places) is the tekka don. The tuna is always really soft, fresh, and tasty. A husband and wife team runs it, and for just the husband making the sushi, he goes surprisingly quickly. During lunch time it gets really cozy in here, as the space only has room for one bar along a wall and two, two person tables against another. Luckily if you get a little claustrophobic you can step out in the covered lobby area that's attached to Starbucks in this same building. In addition to sushi they have ramen, udon soup and salads; and I think I heard they open up early for breakfast! Great little spot, but it's best to order to-go! read more

Pretty great sushi! Came here craving something fresh after a weekend of drinking. I got the chirashi bowl and a miso soup and my friend got a spicy Hawaiian roll. The fresh fish was delicious! Everything was fresh, especially the salmon and yellowtail. The unagi was pretty decent as well. The sushi rice was well seasoned and flavorful. Miso was pretty typical. My friend enjoyed her roll as well. read more

$16 for a huge poki don with a generous amount of fish (mix of salmon, tuna, and albacore or hamachi I'm not sure). Pretty pricey for a lunch, but, the ingredients are high quality and the quantity was there (1.5-2 meals worth, depending on how much you eat). Barely any seating (a few small tables to sit 2-4) and counter seating. More for take-out. read more

Not so good. If you're starving and desperate... then I would still go to one of the many other eateries in the area. Having said that, I could see how some people like its humble, quick, simple charm. read more

On my lunch break I decided to get a postmates delivery from this place due to the good reviews. The prices are very good so I will say that. But the sushi is disappointing and I don't know how this place has so many stellar reviews. I ordered a Seattle roll, a tuna roll and some salmon sashimi. The sashimi was actually tasty and I did enjoy that part of the meal. But the other two rolls were just not that great. read more

Cute, small restaurant but I ordered a tuna and unagi roll and the fish was just not fresh. Super disappointing considering the high reviews. read more

An interesting way to eat sushi... But super fresh fish, scallops & shrimp. Pretty quick service and reasonably priced for a filling lunch. Good classy music, but otherwise about as much vibe as a Taco Bell. Close to Amazon offices, so pretty convenient for lots of people. read more

Came to Urban Sushi Kitchen for the first time today cute little place and very popular. I will say the unagi Donburi I had was not bad but the miso soup was very salty and not very good. The level of Japanese sushi culture is very low to medium unfortunately. Good for simple lunch for work though. read more

I have visited this place a couple of times as this is the closest sushi place around my residence, and so far I had spicy tuna, poki tuna, unagi, and shirump tempura roll. Typical American Sushi, with reasonable price considering buying sushi at Wholefoods or order from nearby sushi place. Not bad taste. read more

This is my new LUNCH spot! After taking a sushi making class at Chiso, I've been particular about my sushi rice. The rice here is WARM but it's well seasoned with rice vinegar and sugar. I am content! I ordered a chirashi and sashimi salad. The portions were LARGE enough that my boyfriend and I split the dish and we were both beyond stuffed. The sushi slices were decent sized (not as thick as Maneki or Wasabi). We also had two miso soups. Our bill totaled $31 bucks. That is NOT bad for downtown dining. The dining area is tiny, so I package my food to-go and eat at Starbucks with a nice tall glass of iced tea. The two employees/owners were a man and woman. The woman is adorable. I shall get her name next time (which means tomorrow) I dine here. Definitely coming back here as long as I work right down the street! They're only open until 4PM and around the holiday season, ALWAYS call before you dine here - they were not open on Jan 2nd! read more

Terrible customer service. They prepared the wrong dish but refused to remake it because they didn't want to throw away the food. I had to just eat it because they didnt give me a refund either, but I hate tuna, so i threw away half the dish anyway. read more
