Service, food quality, and atmosphere at Sam’s was 10x better than the other Ballard sushi option down the street.
My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night 30 min before closing. We were immediately sat and brought waters and menus. They striked a nice balance of being attentive / wanting to take our order without making us feel rushed since it was so close to closing.
The food was very very good. My boyfriend got the nigiri plate and I got a bento box.
The service and atmosphere were wonderful. It feels like a local mom and pop spot with great quality fish. Looking forward to visiting again.
The best sushi place in the neighborhood so far. Everything is fresh, delicious and cooked fast. Service is great.
Enjoyed an hour by the window with my book, good rolls, super flavorful yakitori and complimentary green tea 😌
Staff welcomed us in and provided great service the rest of the time. The food smelled and tasted great.
Great place with amazingly fresh fish! The sushi is delicious and very reasonably priced. Family owned business. Very friendly. Must try!
Have eaten here several times, just wanted to say it is a decent spot for sushi. Calamari is excellent in my opinion. Sorry i didn’t do any photos
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!
Atmosphere sucks but the food is great, would definitely recommend take-out. Not sure why you need to play sad movie soundtracks, would definitely go more if the music wasn't so depressing
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!
Fast service, good prices, and tasty foods. A staple for sushi & Japanese cuisine in Ballard. Friendly staff as well!
Order the Chef plate dinner combo which comes with 2 nigiris each of salmon, tuna, albacore, and hamachi. It also comes with the dragon roll and a bowl of miso soup. The roll was amazing, the ingredients really compliment each other. The nigiris were good although I could taste some frozenly taste and texture from it. My partner ordered her usual Yam roll but instead they had used carrot in the “Yam” roll in substitution for Yam without informing that they ran out of yam (if that was the case for substitution). She still enjoyed the roll although we agreed that the yam version was way better. All in all I had a nice experience and a very friendly service!
