Just got takeout but it was AMAZING! Soft shell crab was incredible, I honestly might have to go again tomorrow. Finally a great sushi place!

Service, food quality, and atmosphere at Sam’s was 10x better than the other Ballard sushi option down the street.

It’s not bad, but not great. Price feels a bit high for the quality of food; I did get delivery so maybe that impacted things. Sushi portion was generous. One piece of fish was still partially frozen. Octopus was so chewy it was inedible.

One of the best sushi spots around. They offer fresh and jam packed filled sushi rolls as evidenced in my accompanying pictures. I love the balance of their sushi rolls because they aren’t overly or under-sauced. Just perfect!

Small, sushi restaurant squished between a coffee shop and cobbler. I wouldn’t have thought to try it if I didn’t see people constantly eating here. We arrive around 7 PM on a Saturday and it was busy, but we were still seated immediately. The staff was polite and brought our rolls out in about 10 minutes. The rolls were decent – we ordered the Crunch Roll, Seattle Roll, and Unakyu Maki. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed to have forgot the Crunch Roll, so it never arrived. The rolls were both large and tasty. The Unakyu didn’t hold together very well and was difficult to eat. The flavor was OK, the barbecue eel tasted strange. The Seattle Roll was good. Good sushi spot, but there are cheaper and better tasting options closeby.

The sushi and noodles were some of the best – so fresh! Plus the price can’t be beat (we had 4 rolls, 2 apps, 1 noodle, and 2 alcoholic drinks for under $115).

The fish was fantastic and reasonably priced, chef hooked up something not listed, service was great, and it was very quick though it was empty when I was in (mid afternoon weekday).
