In Short – The ultramodern furniture, deep plum walls and rock music in the background give this sushi spot a hip edge popular with trendy downtown workers and pretheater diners. The coolest roll on sushi-heavy menu is the flamin' fire variety--tuna wrapped in albacore, drizzled with rum and set aflame--but others also satisfy. Also featured are traditional favorites like yaki soba and udon, as well as dressed-up classics like miso soup with lobster.

Best in Seattle!
by SushiRoxx at Citysearch
I am puzzled by the bad reviews as this place has been better all the way around than any other places I've gone (Umi, Wasabi Bistro, I Love Sushi). I've never had slow service and one thing I LOVE about this place is that they ALWAYS have items that other places only get occasionally or run out of (certain types of tuna like Toro, etc). The quality is top notch! It is inexpensive compared with over-rated places like Umi (talk about BAD service), and the rolls are done RIGHT...rolled like they do in Japan...narrow and long so they are bite size and don't fall apart. I'm guessing some of the reviewers on here either work at other competing sushi places or they have never experienced REAL sushi like you get in Japan. I have many years of experience dining on sushi and this place is my favorite! BTW...if you just want to enjoy some DJ music, have a drink and maybe a roll or two, the bar is fun on weekends.
- Pros: Rolls are rolled long and bite size so don't fall apart
- Cons: Sometimes crowded

unacceptable
by pantagruelian at Citysearch
using one simple word: CARELESS.
Food was mediocre (for Seattle) and customer service non existent!!!
I read a few bad reviews before I went but since I work in the industry, I know that only bitter people actually take the time to write nasty reviews... not the case. This place will truly ruin your night!!!
- Pros: good location

Great Happy Hour selection!
by SearchingforGreatSandwich at Citysearch
We went for a Friday happy hour, between 4-6, and we would certainly go back.
-Friendly service
-Limited selection of happy hour sushi choices, but a full and impressive selection of rolls are generally available
--Roll qualities were very good- not outstanding- but very good!
No complaints whatsoever.
- Pros: Wide selection of Asian and American choices
- Cons: Smaller size area

Best Service Good Food
by stejben at Citysearch
Nijo has a great enviroment with welcoming wait staff, I have my favorite and you will too. The indoor decor is great for a date or a business meeting, always clean with a modern feel to the interior finishes. Outside sitting is in an alley, not the greatest setting although they have made up for it with a water feature and other planters. The sushi cuts are adequate and the chosen chef items are usually a good pick. Great cooked menu items for those not into sushi. Happy hour is awesome with great apps and drink specials and an awesome selection of sake's. Haven't been there yet? You need to check it out, great place in pioneer square/western ave area.

Not a great Lunch Spot
by jenniferap at Citysearch
Waited 10 minutes to have our order taken, then waited another 40 minutes to ask how much longer it will be, to find out it had been sitting in the Kitchen we were do back to Work so asked to have it Boxed up, 10 minutes later NO Boxed Lunch. As we were sitting waiting for our Lunch we notices SIX orders sitting at the Counter and after numerous walks around the Orders FINALLY a Waitress comes and takes them to a Table. I saw one Customer come and Sit down and left after waiting 5 Miuntes to get Served. Not a recommended Place for Lunch Hours. Very Slow and dissappointing SERVICE!
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Slow Service

Our vast and diverse ranges of Sake are some of the finest chilled on ice. If sushi is not your forte there is an abundance of other choices on the menu such as Wild Mushroom Saute, Filet Mignon Tartare or Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail combination. Nijo's chef delighted the most discriminating tastes for years while employed at Cutters, Nikko, Ototo and Mikado. The ambience is hip and the restaurant offers a live DJ on Friday and Saturday nights.
