Chu-toro is the absolute sweet spot of the bluefin tuna, taken from the upper belly and back area of the fish. It is highly prized because it sits perfectly between Akami (the deep red, lean, and meaty top loin) and O-toro (the intensely rich, marble-fat lower belly).

Wow! We weren't expecting to find such a fun delightful place in this tiny strip mall. The restaurant is very kid friendly, with fun legos and coloring sheets at the entrance and a great kids menu. We got take out but will definitely be bringing the kids in soon. The special scallop roll was also unique and amazing, will be coming back for that as well.

I’ve lived right nearby for a while and somehow had never tried this place, so we finally decided to check it out! The restaurant itself is really cute and cozy, with nice decorations and a welcoming atmosphere. There’s also plenty of parking and it’s super easy to get to, which is a big plus.
The service was okay, but unfortunately, the sushi was a little disappointing for the price. The rolls we ordered just didn’t taste as fresh or flavorful as I expected — honestly, some of it reminded me of grocery-store sushi. 😬
That being said, I’d definitely come back and give it another try, maybe ordering some different rolls next time. The atmosphere and convenience are great, so hopefully I just didn’t order their best dishes!

Extremely disappointing experience. We spent nearly $190 for two people, so we expected service that matched the price. Unfortunately, this was some of the worst service we’ve received at a sushi restaurant.
From the moment we were seated, we felt ignored. No one checked on our table throughout the meal, asked how the food was, or offered to refill drinks. Meanwhile, we watched the staff give warm, attentive service to other tables while we were consistently overlooked. It was hard not to feel like we were treated differently.
The sushi was good, but nowhere near good enough to justify the high prices or the lack of hospitality. Great sushi restaurants understand that service is part of the experience, and this restaurant completely missed the mark.
We left feeling disappointed and regretted spending so much money here. There are plenty of other sushi restaurants in the Seattle area that offer better value and treat every customer with respect. We won’t be coming back.
