Got take out recently. There were so many great reviews, that I approached the meal with high hopes. My wife opened the containers and immediately got a fishy odor. The "crab" in the California rolls was a bit old or something. The rolls did not have that fresh sweet crabby flavor that many sushi restaurants get right. We also tried the spider roll, not bad, but unremarkable. The tempura, also was not bad, but really, not good. Very oily, which is a sign of poor frying technique, oil at the wrong temperature. Gyoza were clearly made with manufactured wrappers, and the filling had an unpleasant sourness. The dipping sauce had so much vinegar in it that it dominated the taste. Finally, there was a hair in the California rolls. The food is not cheap. Nothing wrong with the service, food was ready for pickup at the promised time. We must have hit the restaurant on an off night, but it's too expensive and there are too many really good sushi restaurants in Seattle to give it another shot. It really pains me to write a bad review, but there are so many good reviews of this place that I felt like I had to share our experience for balance.
