Been a Seattle Area Sushi enthusiast for years. Been to them all. This place was a much better value years ago before he went high-end with his new digs. Boy talk about black and white on those last two posts. (The positive one sounds like someone pumping the restaurant on purpose.) Here's the skinny. As far as decor and service, there aren't many places places on the Eastside that match or beat this place. (Obviously any restaurant the service may take a a little dive if it is extremely busy.) The quality of the fish here is as good as it gets. (All the good sushi restaurants basically get their fish from the same supplier(s).) The attention to detail is excellent. There's a more casual side with TV usually playing sports or Sumo and a little more elegant side devoid of children. If you are not price conscious, this is a good pick if you are East of Bellevue, pretty much the only pick in my mind. It ranks up their with the best of them. Unfortunately as far as value, it ranks down in the lower half of the pack. Everything is more expensive than it should be for what you get. The size of the cuts of fish on the sushi are pretty average if not maybe a little below average. It is a joke this restaurant has one $ on CitySearch. Play on shelling out at least $60 for two adults that want some variety and want to leave with a full stomach, and that's not including drinks. You can easily reach the $100 mark and beyond at this place if you have a few drinks and eat some of the more exotic stuff. I Love Sushi in Bellevue is not as nice of a decor but you get the same quality and bit more for your money. Recommended for those that are not price conscious when eating out.
Pros: Top Quality. Great Decor/Ambiance.
Cons: Pricey for what you get.
