Pretty good sashimi and rolls all around, with nothing spectacular and nothing terribly negative. I think if one wants to look for a quick bite while craving sushi instead of looking for anything exquisite or amazingly delicious, which was what my friends and I did, then this establishment would be a good option.

Great place to eat and the waitress was absolutely wonderful! The poke bowl was too spicy for me (on me, it said chili) and she offered to make me another dish free of charge. Wonderful place, will be back!

Awesome sushi chef Gio and Carlos were serving us at sushi bar. Good little neighborhood sushi restaurant in Mercer island. Fried oysters were good. Bento, chirashi and my sashimi omakase was all fresh and yummy. Fatty tuna was very good that night. Melts in your mouth 🙂 next time you are at Mercer island and crave for some sushi, go try sushi Joa

I have seen some Facebook or IG ads about place and looked good. So, I tried it out. The service was fine. The staff was courteous and food came out in a reasonable time. The restaurant looked clean. I ordered Chirashi sushi and my friend ordered a bento box. First of all, the amount of sashimi was much less and the quality was not that good compared to other restaurants that had similar price. Second of all, tamago ( egg) tasted once frozen. That was not acceptable to me. Chirashi is definitely over priced. I don’t recommend it. I have had much better Chirashi at less than half of this price.

Used to love eating here. Things were great until I was leaving the restaurant and saw the “Okay” food safety rating poster hidden in the bottom-right corner of the storefront window (this was in June 2023, and “Okay” is the 2nd lowest of 4 possible ratings). I didn’t think much of it. And then had food poisoning the following day.

Sushi Joa is a local Mercer Island Japanese restaurant that has tons of options at a great price, surprisingly for Mercer Island. The staff here is always friendly and everything is made fresh to order. They put a lot of time and effort into the food as well, so its delicious, although you should always call ahead and order since the wait can be 30 minutes (since they are quite popular as well). Would highly recommend the bento box as it’s a mix of everything for a great price.

Great place for lunch or dinner. Sushi was fresh, good portions, friendly service. I’ve ordered their bentos many times and would go back again.

I ordered the O-Toro, which is worth 36 dollars, and the quality turned out to be so bad . I reacted to the waiter that one piece of O-Toro sashimi was separated into four pieces and the quality was very poor, but her answer was “O-Toro is like this”. I can not believe it! It is highly recommended not to order O-Toro.

A neighborhood sushi with good quality ingredients and friendly staff. Wednesday are my favorite day to visit it. I like the cut of the fish and the quality of their rice
