"The absolute best local sushi/Japanese restaurant in issaquah/sammamish. We're here once a week and the team never disappoints.Service: even when it's busy, we're greeted by a friendly hostess and the sushi chefs. The drinks and food orders are quick and precise.Presentation: is exceptional. The sushi rolls are well presented and salmon combo (our favorite always looks delicious.Now onto the best part: the food.The tempura is always light and crispy, gyoza is crunchy and filling is tasty.Our mains consist of a sushi roll, salmon combo, sashimi and kids bento. All of it is well portioned (we don't leave hungry! And fresh fresh fresh! My picky 6yo learned to eat sushi here and will only accept zushi salmon roll! That's the best testament to how well done the plates are here.The specials, like the sashimi ball or crispy butterflied shrimp, are a great balance of flavors. I'm particular about too much sauce and it's never an issue here.We love coming here and highly recommend it to all our friends Kid-friendliness: My kids love it here. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The team welcomes the whole family when we arrive, not just the adults. It makes my kids feel welcomed and they're relaxed throughout the meal, leaving the parents to enjoy dinner too"
