Sushi Maki 1633 Bellevue Avenue, Seattle, WA 98122

"TLDR: amazing quality sushi, kind staff, and good prices (compared to other sushi places). Highly recommend checking this cute hole-in-the-wall spot out if you are craving takeout sushi. 5 pieces sushi w/ roll ($17.50): 10/10 - this comes with salmon, shrimp, tuna, izumidai (tilapia), and albacore nigiri. Each nigiri was delicious, the rice of each was nicely seasoned. The fish itself tastes fresh and not overly fishy. You can choose the roll it comes with and the roll I chose was salmon cucumber which was also very tasty. The rice to fish ratio was perfect. Because it is a take out only restaurant, they give you the ginger and wasabi on the side (which I love since I hate when you bite into your roll not knowing there is a huge piece of wasabi underneath) and they give in my opinion the *best* soy sauce. It’s nicely salty and umami (not like those bad packs you usually get with takeout sushi). This small detail really elevated the experience for me! The staff working when I went were very helpful and kind. There was even a small waiting room so you didn’t have to wait in the cold. Will definitely be back and would 100% recommend to a friend!"

"Fantastic sushi here. I got the salmon avocado roll and the salmon nigiri, and both were incredible. Many sushi places in the area tend to skimp a bit on salmon, but not here. Good, hearty pieces of salmon that tasted fresh and delicious. They were also very friendly when I went to pick up my food. Great prices for caphill area sushi as well. Would strongly recommend."

"Tasty salmon sushi! I got the New York Roll and it was delicious. Miso Soup was very tasty as well. Slightly expensive but in line with Seattle prices. Would return!"

"SUSHI MAKI IS THE BEST !!! i have been coming here since 2015, and it’s easily become my favorite sushi spot in all of seattle. min and jin, the owners, are absolute sweeties and put so much hard work into their business. their small takeout-only shop is cozy and welcoming with a friendly atmosphere, and even friendlier service. food is ready quick, and never compromises on quality, the sushi is extremely consistent and delicious. i like to order the salmon lover’s combo, with a side of avocado roll - i don’t trust the nigiri at most sushi places but the cut of fish is always perfect at sushi maki. i could not recommend this place enough, and always tell out-of-town friends to stop by if they’re in the capitol hill area. i love you sushi maki ❤️"

"The best sushi on the hill is made by a 2 person, takeout only restaurant, who's philosophy is that only the best quality fish is worth using for the best sushi experience. Because of the small operation you're not paying for a large restaurant lease, big staff, alcohol license, etc . . . your money is going to the food quality and 15+ year experience of the lovely duo. This was the first sushi I had when I moved back to Seattle and after 2 years, I've yet to find a better spot."
