Often praised
- foodThe food quality was also good, rated a 4
- sushiAs a visitor from Canada, I stumbled upon this sushi place during my trip to the Seattle area. It was hands down the best thing I ate all trip, and I couldn't recommend it more. Every single dish was absolutely amazing.
- fried chickenfried chicken was juicy on the inside, and light and crispy on the outside
- ramenThe food itself was fantastic. The ramen was perfect for a cold fall day, and the fried chicken was incredibly juicy inside with a light and crispy exterior. The garlic soy, spicy garlic soy, and honey sauces were all delicious.
- Korean fried chickenThis place has the juiciest Korean fried chicken.
- FoodFood was great
- appetizersa couple appetizers. They were all pretty good
- cherry blossom rollI particularly loved the half roll options, which provided a great variety. I enjoyed the Seared Salmon roll, the Stuffed Jalapeños, and the cherry blossom roll. The food was very flavorful, and the overall experience was excellent, with high ratings for food, service, and atmosphere.
- chickenRamen, sushi, and chicken were all great.
- delicious foodSuch delicious food
Frequently criticized
- Hawaiian rollThe Hawaiian roll was weird as it was mounded up the drizzled with straight mayonnaise
- Spider rollthe cut on Spider roll was too thin which fell apart when picked up
- miso ramen brothThe cut on the Spider roll was too thin, causing it to fall apart when picked up. The miso ramen broth was lacking in flavor. However, the fried chicken was tasty and plentiful, and the prices are good.
- one rollThe bill at the end was around $400 with the included gratuity, so each person spent around $27. They could not separate the check, which is understandable, and out of all the orders, only one roll seemed to be missing. Ballard has a few sushi options within blocks of one another and while I like Sam’s Sushi which is down the street, I would likely never be able to bring a group of this size (16) to all sit close to one another there.
- ricethe rice was noticeably dry and tasted stale
- small portionsThe small portions mean you end up having to order a lot
Overall, the food here is a definite highlight. If youre craving top-notch Korean fried chicken, fresh sushi, or satisfying ramen, youll likely leave very happy. Just be mindful of specific sushi rolls or the miso ramen broth, but these seem to be isolated incidents in an otherwise excellent culinary experience.

Frequently criticized
- serviceThe rice was noticeably dry and tasted stale. Regarding service, we found ourselves needing to repeatedly request essential items such as water, plates, chopsticks, and soy sauce, indicating a significant lapse in attentiveness. The atmosphere resembled a food court rather than a restaurant.

Great Tempura Chicken, Mom's Style!
My experience at the restaurant was great, especially with the tempura fried chicken. It reminded me of the style my mom makes, which is a nice change from the typical KFC style. I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size, as it was much bigger than I expected for the price.
The atmosphere was fantastic, rated a 5, and it was quiet enough to have an easy conversation. The food quality was also good, rated a 4, and the service received a 4 as well. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.

Good Food, But Better Sushi Elsewhere
I stopped by after shopping at the Farmers Market to get some sushi. The quality of the food was great and the staff was really quick. Despite this, I'm not sure if I would come here for just the sushi again; I think there are other places in the area who could do just as good of a job if not better.
I would come here again to try some of their other food.
