Amazing flavors! - Edit
I went here with non-veg friends and they wanted to come back the next day!! Their sushi is so delicious and the ingredients seem to be great quality. The staff is knowledgeable and kind, they are accommodating to a variety of allergens which is super nice.

New favorite restaurant in Seattle - Edit
This place is amazing. Go here now. We tried several rolls and nigiri and it was all so so good. I especially liked everything with the salmon. The scallop nigiri was also really good. My favorite roll was the tangy salmon with the dragon roll a close second.
Read moreEdit 5/6/2023: note to self, start with the red dragon (it’s our favorite)
Edit March 2024: Ring of Fire was 🔥🔥🔥 They told us it had Ghost Pepper sauce. Too hot for D but I loved it.
Update August 2024: The Tiger roll, PNW, and Queen Anne were some new favorites. We didn’t like the curry roll was much.

Wow what great food! - Edit
Food is delicious and fresh. Owners are proud to have changed the place to a vegan place a couple of years ago and it shows. The Queen Anne one was dope. You won’t regret coming here!

Delicious and varied sushi - Edit
Wow - this place had some of the nicest vegan sushi we had ever tried. The "samurai" and the "red dragon", both of which were recommended by the waiter, were by far the standouts. We also tried the salmon nigiri and the shrimp tempura roll, which were both nice, but simpler and not as impressive as the other two. I also ordered the strawberry cheesecake which was delicious if you have a sweet tooth.

Great Sushi - Edit
Everything we ordered was incredible - miso soup, seaweed salad, inari nigiri, and lots of rolls (green goddess, bliss, ring of fire, curry, and kimchi)! The presentation was beautiful and service was super friendly. We hope to be back soon to try the cheesecake!

So much good food -- even dessert - Edit
We don't have pics because we ate the 5 rolls and dessert we got so quickly. We couldn't help ourselves! It was all delicious 🤤 Do yourself a favor and eat here plus get the cheesecake to top it off. We loved roles: Queen Anne x2, Maui, Geisha and Ring of Fire (it's hot hot).

Average - Edit
I was SO excited to eat here because the reviews seemed incredible, but honestly the sushi was pretty average. There was a group of 4 of us who were all disappointed. The vibe was laid back and casual, and our server was super friendly which was great. Aesthetically the sushi looked beautiful, but it was just lacking flavour. They served the four of us our sushi on one plate (9 rolls but we weren’t sharing) which was a problem because one person had an avocado allergy and my roll with avocado was next to theirs. They also couldn’t split bills. The cheesecake was the best part of the meal

Amazing sushi! - Edit
A little more laid back of a location than I expected based solely on the photos of the food - I was surprised finding nemo was playing in the background haha. wasn't quite the right vibe/distracting. However, the sushi was incredible. Really great price, beautifully plated, tasted incredible. The waiter was also incredible. Gave great recommendations and very friendly. Would love to come back!

Looking for vegan sushi in Seattle?! Here ya go. - Edit
Now we're a bit biased because we've had some really incredible vegan sushi in SF. The vegan fish substitutes can be a bit strange for those not familiar with it. Sriracha was certainly used a lot as the "hot" component in a lot of the dishes. Vegan place trying to make non vegan sushi vers just trying to make great sushi. Over all had a great experience with friends. Strawberry cheesecake didn't last 30 seconds.
Read morePros: Location and vibes, Some tasty food
Cons: Leans heavily in fake fish substitutes

Delicious soup and sushi and great service! - Edit
It has been a long time since having any kind of sushi besides a basic veggie roll, and I am so happy to have gotten the chance to eat here! I ordered the miso soup, red dragon roll, and queen anne roll. The soup was very flavorful and unlike any other miso soup I've had before, and the rolls were very delicious and filling. I decided to have the specialty rolls this time around, but they also have options like your standard California roll, shrimp tempura, etc. which I look forward to trying. Today I ate alone, but this would be a great place to take friends and family. It has a very cozy feeling and great atmosphere. And, the service was great and very friendly. Can't wait to stop by again!

Excellent Plant Based Sushi! - Edit
I am so grateful to have this vegan sushi place in Seattle and glad to have been able to dine here! We will be back!
Read moreThe experience was absolutely amazing. Everything from the customer service to the sushi was excellent! The atmosphere is very casual and laid back. I loved the vibe!
I had the crunchy shrimp sushi and it was delicious. My wife and I also had other types of sushi as well. I am vegetarian, but I am also allergic to shellfish, so so glad I found this place so I can have a plant based shellfish taste. The sushi did not appear vegan or taste vegan, and the taste was awesome!
I highly recommend Sushi Samurai! We also loved Mio the robot who assists the servers. She is so cute!
Pros: Excellent Taste, Great customer service
Cons: Tight dining space

Best Sushi - Edit
I've had a lot of amazing sushi in the past, but Sushi Samurai takes the cake. I took some non-vegan family here and they loved it.
Read moreI don't know why people get so weirded out by the idea of vegan sushi. While dining here, I saw people turn away when they realized this was a vegan restaurant. You could serve this sushi to any meat eater and they wouldn't know the difference.

Incredible ✨100% vegan✨ sushi! - Edit
We loved our dinner at The Sushi Samurai! The vegan sushi was absolutely amazing- so flavorful and unique. Obviously, the chefs here are experts and put a lot of care in presentation and quality. The restaurant is small and I would recommend making reservations. We are so excited to come back!

Lives up to the hype - Edit
All I can say is this - everyone loves this place for very good reason. It's just awesome!!
Read moreWe ordered the Ring of Fire and the California roll. Ring of fire was 🔥🔥🔥 hot as heck and I loved it.
Both use imitation fish. My partner and I haven't had fish in years, lack experience with it, so can't comment on how close imitation is to the real thing. But we enjoyed it! The fish portion of these seemed more subtle and complementary and not distracting to the taste of the dish.

Unmissable - Edit
It’s quite a hike to get to this top-of-the-hill Queen Anne spot, but not to be missed. Semi-casual dining (no reservations needed) and not packed on a Thursday night. Whatever the faux salmon is is a treat! Altogether it may not be the best vegan sushi I’ve had but the overall experience is somewhere north of outstanding.

THE BEST vegan sushi - Edit
The sushi here blew my mind! We had the crispy shrimp roll, the red dragon roll, the green goddess roll, and the Seattle tempura roll (the entire roll was tempura, so decadent!). We had vegan and omni members of our party, and the omnis said they would not have known that the sushi was vegan. It tasted just like the real thing. Incredible! It felt so luxurious to be able to order anything off the menu and know that it is all vegan. The prices were very reasonable for Seattle. They have a fantastic enclosed and heated outdoor space that is dog-friendly, so our little dog was able to join us. On top of all that, the people who work there are super nice and friendly. We will definitely be back. This is a great place to take vegans and non-vegans. I can't wait to bring more people here! UPDATE: Have since returned and loved everything else we tried, including an excellent cheesecake from Burns Vegan Bakery.

Truly unique - Edit
I had been wanting to try vegan sashimi and I was pleased by my first experience. We started with seaweed salad, followed by an order of tempura rolls and Seattle roll. The seaweed salad was perfectly seasoned, a good balance of sweet and savory. The tempura rolls were crispy and delicious. The Seattle roll's vegan sashimi had me fooled. It tasted like salmon! The flavor on its own was a bit understated but paired beautifully with wasabi and soy sauce. For dessert, we ordered the pecan cheesecake which was so lovely in its presentation. The orchids were edible! We enjoyed munching on a few once we learned they were more than just a garnish.
Read moreOur server was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind.The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming and the bathroom was spotless. I would love to return to try some of the other menu offerings as they have such a great selection of fresh sushi.
Pros: Amazing selection, Kind and attentive staff, Cool ambiance
