    Prices were reasonable and the fish and other seafood things tasted fresh enough to eat. I normally dislike conveyer-belt type eateries but Sushi Land somehow pulls it off. So much so that it is frequently busy in there, even with a lot of seating options. Bathrooms were extremely dirty and borderline not passing health codes. If possible, use the alley down the street.

    Sorry people....not sure why there are so many good reviews here! Not trying to be a sushi snob, but the selection and quality is limited even when taking into account price. They have the same 10 items on the belt, nothing new or exciting. Worse of all, the place is dirty! all the laminated menus are sticky and filthy as if they are never cleaned. The lack of attention to simple details like that make you wonder about the rest.....

    They asked us to sit down at a table and then made us get up since they made a mistake and someone else was suppose to sit down before us. We had already gotten our food and they asked us to put it back on the conveyor belt after my nephew had already touched his gyoza (unsanitary). On top of that, the group that was in front of us was only three people and there is a four person minimum for tables.

    Belt sushi. The quality matches the prices, cheap ($1-$3). If you stick to the veggie options it's a great value. There are a lot of options and it's inexpensive. The staff isn't that attentive but they share nice.

    Decent sushi! I really like the price! It's not the best place for sushi but it's definitely still good. I haven't found any really problems with their sushi although some people are not quite as pleased... From what I know at least. My Personal Rating Key One star: the food was bad and I had a negative experience. Two star: I had a more negative experience and would not come here again but the food was good so I may. Three store: everything is good except one thing. Example-the food is good, the price is more reasonable but the atmosphere is lacking class. These are sometimes my go to more than four stars because I usually care about price more than I do about atmosphere. Four stars: Everything is great, food, experience but the price may be on the upper end. I would not recommend this first to Obama unless he didn't like my five stars. Five stars: I would recommend this to Obama. The price may be on he upper end.

    Far better than Pike Place Chowder if you are looking for Cheap Eats in near the Space Needle. Very vegan gluten free selections on the conveyor belt with creative items I haven't seen at other Sushi Lands. Try Mr. Bean: tempura string bean roll, or Mochi Brownies. The corn nigiri was so unique I had to try it. Huge variety of $1 and $1.50 small plates.

  • RONALD W.

    Best bang for your sushi buck. My favorites are the spider roll, calamari, and tempura udon which can be had for about $9. Seasonally they have wild salmon and other goodies. Other restaurant owners from around town eat here as well.

  • Steven R.

    This place is exactly what it purports to be: cheap, no-frills sushi on a conveyer belt. I am a frequent sushi eater and found the quality to be acceptable. They had a nice variety and the prices absolutely can't be beat. My only criticism is that it's not always easy to tell what's on the plates. If you're trying to avoid anything in particular this can pose a challenge. But I definitely didn't leave hungry and found this place to meet expectations.

  • Ivana S.

    Came here b/c I was feeling really hungry for sushi. This place is not home to the freshest raw fish, but it's definitely the cheapest conveyor belt sushi in Seattle. What to get: Besides the usual salmon and seared salmons; the baked mussels, masago, and creamy scallop taste pretty good. My boyfriend and I definitely know this place is at best "OK", but when it comes to just wanting a quick and cheap(ish) sushi fix. It'll do.

  • Bách T.

    There is no service here. Servers act like we own them million dollars and didnt pay it back. Remember 30%of your dining money go to server pocket. They should pay more attention for their job. Never come back here again.

    I haven't stepped into a Sushiland in years. I've been on a conveyor belt sushi kick lately but as my wallet isn't bottomless, I figured I'd pay a visit to this more wallet-friendly place! Sushiland has options starting at a dollar and ending at $3. The majority of their selection is at the $1.50 to $2 range. I've noticed that their selection has also grown. Besides sushi, they have lots of fried food offerings. They even have a variety of desserts like mochi brownie, ice cream and so forth. Service is friendlier even though they do appear a little flustered in being understaffed. Overall, while this cost half what is typically paid at my more preferred sushi place, I don't think I'm coming back any time soon. I just don't have the metabolism of a high schooler anymore. If I'm gonna eat sushi, I'd rather pay more to enjoy every bite of every calorie it brings to my body. Some of their stuff is decent but the sushi rice is a little too wet, the fish is a little too fishy. There were a couple of pieces I choked down. Their seared salmon and most of their nigiri pieces weren't bad. I'd stay away from any of the minced fish options though!

    Okay you have to understand, I don't like this place because of the quality of the food. This rating is strictly for the quantity of sushi you can get, especially if you want to get your fix. If you need your fix, kaiten sushi is your solution since it's instant gratification. What I recommend is ordering rolls if you don't want to get any on the conveyor belt, since you don't really know how long the plates have been on the conveyer belt. I usually get the Spicy Tuna Gunkan. Even though they "made it fresh", I probably wouldn't be surprised if they used old fish. I know it doesn't sound appealing but how else would they be able to sell sushi for so cheap right? I'm gonna say it now, don't come here for quality sushi. Come if you want a cheap sushi fix, because that's what I would do. And I'm a grad student and can't afford expensive sushi :(

    I went here knowing it was cheap sushi (and conveyor belt sushi at that) but even that can't justify the low quality and poor selection offered. Maybe I couldn't tell the difference between the 10 dishes that went pass but they looked all the same hidden under the same topping. Have watched those 10dishes circle 6 times and no one touching them, I am sure not going too. That is just one of many fails, such as hot dishes being cold and cold dishes being too warm, or the can tuna that should never be on sushi. The wait staff were the highlight, nice and helpful. Good sushi on a budget if you don't mind worrying for the next 2 hours about what you just ate.

  • Caleb M.

    They make good sushi and you'll leave without a major hit to your wallet. I was able to eat here with a friend for lunch for less than $20. While a number of decent options are available on the conveyor belt. I would recommend ordering the rolls you want. I, for example ordered a salmon, cucumber, and avocado roll. It was good and I've been back since.

    Solid. Solid conveyor belt sushi. Can be a hassle to find parking. Better prices than other conveyor belt sushi places, and tastier IMHO. Will return!!!

  • Terrance D.

    Small inside and there was a wait to be seated as usual with any sushiland. I only come here when I need decent sushi for an affordable price. I like eating sushi from a conveyer belt. I deducted 2 stars for the nonexisting service. After we get seated on a Sunday at 2pm, the place is understaffed and waiters won't come back again. My best advice is to place your order before the waiter leave.

  • Talia E.

    Preface: I LOVE sushi belt restaurants. Why? Because I love sushi, but I'm usually not enough of a sushi snoot to want to pay $10-$15+ for a roll at a nicer restaurant. So Sushi Land definitely gets the job done. Came here most recently for dinner on a Tuesday. Service is never really that exceptional (for example, they forgot my drink order TWICE) but there's a lot of bang for your buck and they have a pretty extensive menu (in case you want to order something that isn't going around the belt). Can't say I'd pick it for a romantic dinner or to impress any out-of-towners that want to try the local hot spots BUT I've been here at least half a dozen times and I've never really been "disappointed". I picked up the tab this time around and it was only $28 for two people... and I know we ate a good amount of sushi.

    The mexican dude working at the sushi bar was so progressive and rude. He ignored my orders and I had to ask the lady to check it. But the orders never came to my spot.. Rude and unprofessional staff....

    I don't give out 1 star reviews often, but this place is absolute shit. I've been to this Sushiland before and it's gone way downhill -Cold miso soup served with a plastic takeout spoon -"Sashimi" slices of fish that were super tiny. Less than 0.5 oz pieces. The slices on top the rotating nigiri were larger -Poor quality fish, small selection, and gross hygienic practices Avoid at all costs!

    Awesome place for a quick sushi lunch. The sushi keeps coming down the conveyor belt and tastes great. Sometimes they also try out experimental recipes, which is a nice touch.

  • Merrick N.

    I LOVE sushiland. FIrst off, it's affordable, and it's sushi. If you like sushi, you'll appreciate affordable. Is it the freshyest? Yes. It it the fastest? Yes. It's a conveyer belt, so you can eat when you immediately sit down. I also recommend ordering rolls- the queen anne roll (off the menu) is one of the best goddamn things I've ever put in my mouth. Really good seared salmon. Order the calamari. Sometimes the rolls on the belt aren't the freshest, but you have to know that might be the case walking into any conveyer belt sushi place. It's still amazing, and I will keep returning at least once a week because I'm addicted.

  • Brian H.

    DELICIOUS and CHEAP sushi! Great for lunch with the work crew! Accomodating sushi-san with lots of options. My favorite was the seared Tuna because it was cooked brilliantly while the middle remained ruby red! Check this place out as soon as possible!!!!!!

  • B J.

    Still my favorite go to place for quick good cheap sushi. So glad they had uni today. I guess it pays to come early when they first open.

  • James S.

    As others have said. I used to come here a lot. I moved and stopped going regularly. We went in last month and walked out after being seated. The place is just disgusting now. It looks as though they just stopped cleaning. You are serving raw fish. Keep the grime and bugs off the belt. I eat in no fashionable food trucks and have never walked from food. I just could not do it. This is on the owner. Pull it together.

  • Edgar S.

    Better selection than most of the other sushi land locations. The service is hit or miss, sometimes you get asked for refills or if you need to order anything ever few minutes by multiple waitress and other times you only see them twice; sitting you down and bringing you a drink at first. I come here a few times a week for a quick lunch and love the prices of sushi here, they cannot be beat!

  • Matt M.

    You get what you pay for at Sushi Land. Looking for a cheap sushi fix? This is the place for you! I've definitely had better sushi, but I still love going there. Why do I love Sushi Land? They haven't changed their prices since I started going to the Bellevue location in 2005. I'm talking to you, Genki! The california rolls are STILL $1.50 and the quality between stores is pretty consistent for the most part, which I truly appreciate. Don't expect any flashy rolls, just plain old nigiri and some basic rolls. What I always order: Seared salmon ($1.50) Creamy scallops ($1.50) Calimari ($1.50) Takoyaki ($1.50) Salmon skin roll ($1.00) Anything else I can't resist ($1.00-$3.00)

  • Anthony B.

    Cheap conveyor sushi. Actually really inexpensive. I'm bursting full at $11. Stick to the salmon and avoid the tuna. I love sushi and sometimes you just need to throw down $10 and get your fill of decent fish mixed with spicy sauce, and that is where sushi land comes in. I have seen them butchering very fresh salmon here which explains why it's typically fresh and cheap! Their Ahi (tuna) has always left a ton to be desired for me so I avoid it. $1 spicy salmon nigiri and $1.50 seared salmon(propane yummmm) are typically most of my meal. Their calamari is also really well seasoned and perfectly fried.

  • Daisuke Y.

    This place was ok. Not bad for the price but service is slow and food is simply average. If you want to get real good sushi, I would suggest somewhere else

    (3)

  • Kenny M.

    Always consistent, good quality for the price. The service is always good. For the price this place is definitely worth it. It's not gourmet, but it makes for a filling and tasty meal. They have good mackerel. Try their seared albacore and salmon! They have good texture with their rice, again not gourmet but good. Im half Japanese and honestly I come here all the time because it's good sushi!

  • Leah S.

    I love sushiland, but my recent experience here made me kind of umm... grossed out. I've always wanted to order Uni from here, not because I've never had uni before (I've tried uni from many places) but I was just curious (damn my curiosity!) I ordered not one, but two plates of uni. I didn't expect the uni to be as good or even near to the uni that I've had from other more exclusive restaurants, but boy.. I was in awe. The uni they gave me was VERY bitter and mushy. I was too grossed out to even touch the rest. I let the waitress know that their uni was not fresh and well, not edible. Instead of an apology, she gave me a defensive statement. She said 'you can't expect the uni to be that good... its only $3.' Oh gurl, at least make sure that it's edible????!!!! :/

  • Mojdeh S.

    How I heard of this place: Several years ago, my friend Sasha took me to Suhiland on a Tuesday for their tempura asparagus roll. I went back a couple of times (in Redmond), with my friend Paul, who has a very limited palate, yet not so with sushi. Type of cuisine: Conveyor belt sushi, sashimi dishes. Udon, miso and other menu items may also be ordered, sight unseen. Ambiance: Very casual. Bar seating can be found around the conveyor belt. Booths, also adjacent to the conveyor, for parties of up to eight can fit comfortably while watching their food circle the room on small, colorful plates. A perfect spot for children (of all ages) and for those with limited sushi palates. The flavors here are less intense than other sushi establishments and can be an easy introduction for sushi-virgins. What I ordered: The three of us dining here tonight were very hungry and needed something simple, quick and cheap! We ordered, from the sushi chef, four helpings of the smoked salmon rolls ($1 per plate of four). Off of the belt, we grabbed two plates of krab salad (shredded imitation crab with mayonnaise, gunkan style) for $1 each, one plate of the ebi (boiled shrimp, nigiri style) for $1.50 and the shrimp tempura ($1) with lettuce and mayonnaise (roll style). We also sampled a $1 plate of tuna salad, and two plates ($2 each) of the spicy tuna rolls. What I loved: Of all the plates sampled, my favorite were the fresh-made smoked salmon rolls. The spicy tuna had a kick, which placed it at second on my list of favorites from the evening. Why I loved it: The establishment met all of our requirements on this evening: walking distance from the theater, immediate food service and inexpensive. Cost: Low to average ($1-$4 per plate, with two to four pieces/rolls per plate)

    My 2nd time here, the last time being a few years ago... Food is good here and prices are reasonable, but the place is really starting to look tired and run down a bit. For as much as they deal with raw ingredients, the station by the booths where they put together the plates looked pretty dirty. With that said, I would come back here, but I think the place could use a more thorough cleaning. Wait staff was pleasant and helpful.

    (4)

  • Heather R.

    I got so much sushi for so little money. My girlfriend ate lunch for only $6, and I only payed $8.50 for mine (I got 6 plates, she got 5). I'll definitely be coming back here for lunch again soon!

    (5)

  • Melissa W.

    Yummy! Cheap sushi for on the go. They have a lot if different fishes to choose from. Service is just ok but it is a conveyer belt sushi restraunt. They had quite a few different desserts to choose from as well as special rolls. I liked their salmon. It was so fresh. I definitely will come here to this location again.

    (4)

  • Rishard B.

    Good price for belt sushi, but not the cleanest place. My favorite is the salmon skin roll which is nice cause it's a cheaper plate. You can fill up for about 5-10 bucks easy.

    (4)

  • Arial W.

    This place is good for what it is. It's definitely not a fancy restaurant but if you are looking for something cheap and quick, you might give it a try. I am pretty sure most of the fish is frozen and not fresh, which isn't usually what you would want when having sushi. The one great thing about this place....$1 plates.

    (3)

  • Dmitri P.

    I'd say we are regulars as Sushi Land whenever we are in Seattle. The food variety is nice, especially considering very reasonable prices. Our "standard" is to start with miso, and some of the favorites are California rolls, tuna rolls, and salmon sashimi. Although crowded at times, the crowd is light and moves fairly fast. We never had to wait more than 15 minutes. It's like many other reviewers said - not a "fancy" place, but fun to go to and totally the bang for the buck.

    (4)

  • Ryan S.

    Cheap but super value. I don't go for the sashimi, but the prepared rolls and tempura items are great, fresh and again CHEAP. Also, there is no wait. You sit, grab, eat. Sometimes I get out of there for $6 and stuffed.

    (5)

  • Taylor M.

    My favorite cheap conveyer belt sushi!!! Love this place!

    (5)

  • H S.

    Sushi snobs do not enter. But if you're looking for cheap ($1-3 dollar plates of 2-4 pieces each) conveyor belt sushi I have yet to find better. And it's in the middle of town! Makes no sense. Note during peak times you will be seated at the bar unless there are at least three in your party, and then you may have to wait quite a while, but the bar seating is actually fun and more convenient here as your are facing the belt and the sushi chefs (you can make requests if you don't see what you want) as opposed to sitting perpendicular, as you would be in the booths. Also, never gotten sick, so that's a plus.

  • Tram L.

    So I love sushi, especially cheap sushi. I am a regular at various Sushi Land locations, and I came here knowing my expectations. However, I was outright unpleased with my dinner experience last night. The first waitress who took our food order looked unfriendly, not smiling or anything, but that was the last thing I care about. The next waitress though, OH MY. So what happened was one of my friends politely asked the waitress for an Unagi Nigiri but slipped out "Unagi Roll" while pointing at the Unagi Nigiri picture on the menu. And this waitress gave us a funny look, then said: "Um that's not a Roll; it's a Nigiri!" in a demeaning way. Who does that? You can't expect everyone to be sushi experts, and while I think she totally can correct us, there are better ways to say it without making your customers feel stupid. Next!

  • Terri E.

    Had lunch there today--two of us ate for about $30 including beverages and desserts. The food was good--I had a couple pieces of fancy raw something and the quality was excellent. The servers are hard to flag down, even when they're not particularly busy.

    (3)

  • S. Alicia S.

    I wanted supermarket sushi for lunch. Then, I remembered.... Sushi Land! The Spider Roll seemed salty, but it tasted good dipped in wasabi-soy. All the other things I ate were good. The Mr. Bean Roll was super duper delicious. They had yummy creme brulee there for me. So I ate it. There were brownies on the belt too, but I can't eat everything. Good service. Good people. Good place to hangout at on a Saturday.

    (4)

  • Alana H.

    This place does something very well, and that is offer cheap sushi. And that means everything you'd expect... The rolls are far from art, the conveyor belt sometimes is super mixed up without any identifiers for the rolls, the service is lackluster, and the final bill is amazing. On our most recent trip my friend and I ate for under $25 and that included two drinks. As long as you aren't hoping for the sushi of your dreams, I highly recommend this place for a quick, no frills, fun sushi meal. It is also probably a great options for kiddos. And if you like spicy, I highly recommend the jalapeno roll!

    (3)

  • Melissa L.

    This one is their best restaurant. Southcenter is awful! Bellevue is decent but small and super crowded. My favs are the spicy scallop, spider roll, and beef udon. Everything is super cheap here. Can't say the quality is the best in town but it's mighty tasty when you need to fill your belly with sushi and have a not so stuffed wallet.

    (4)

  • Lynda P.

    Yes, their sushi is cheap but you literally get what you pay for here. I will never come back. We had some shrimp there and it was so slimy and gross. They didn't even have many sushi options either.

    (1)

  • Tim C.

    Conveyor belt sushi is always fun, right? You eye the belt to make sure the stuff you want doesn't get past you, and you can customize your own meal on the fly. Just don't be too quick to grab things, lest you grab the two-hour-old sushi dish that has been circulating the belt for the past 89 cycles. The sushi that I enjoyed here were the seared salmon, spicy salmon, and.. that was about it. The rest of the sushi wasn't terrible (I had eel, tuna, albacore, yellowtail), but at least was reasonably-priced. Oh, and I wouldn't recommend getting the deep-fried fish. Mine was not very crispy. Instead, it was mostly mushy. Once again, the downsides of choosing a dish that has been on the belt for longer than it should have been.

    (3)

  • Melody P.

    After my doctor appointment, I stopped by Sushi Land for lunch before work. It was a quick lunch by myself. I was able to find parking on the street. Since it was still so early, there wasn't a lot of fancy stuff. I had about 5 dishes and I paid $10 with tips. I thought it was a pretty good deal for lunch. Service was good. The server and the chef constantly asked me if I was ok. It's really not a fancy place. But, if you want to have fun and pick up want you want to eat on the conveyor belt, this is a place you can choose from.

  • C. C.

    Have lived in the neighborhood for ten years and have been here more times than I can count. Actually used to even go at least a couple times per week. Always was happy with things. But lately the cleanliness has suffered at this place. It's gotten pretty gross so we now avoid it. Which is a bummer because it was perfect for a quick cheap sushi fix. I wish they'd clean it up.

    (3)

  • Mark M.

    This place knows how to do cheap conveyor belt sushi! Most of the items were pretty good, and the service staff was pretty attentive. Hiwever, don't come here looking for high quality sushi; you get what you pay for.

    (3)

  • Melissa D.

    If you want good & cheap sushi, this is the place to go. I always get california rolls, shrimp tempura rolls, salmon sashimi and an order of calamari. Only downside is that there is almost always a wait, especially in the evening.

    (5)

  • Bet E.

    This place a has gone downhill since the manager changed a couple of months ago. Dirty, lights don't work, questionable food handling practices and terrible service. I am very disappointed as I have been eating here often for 8 years.

    (2)

  • Jamie E.

    Had such a horrible experience with this place. The wait staff took it upon themselves to huddle in a corner and gossip about my friend that I was dining with. "Is it a man?" "But like, the voice is so feminine!" Those were just a couple of gems we overheard them say as they were pointing at our table. The food was also pretty gross. Wouldn't go back. Ever.

    (1)

  • Jenna E.

    It is not the top of line sushi here and if you are expecting that then re-adjust your expectations. This is decent sushi for a decent price on a convenient conveyor belt that allows you to get a quick sushi fix without spending $30 for 2 rolls. I tried four different kinds and paid $7. I liked each thing I tried and I am very picky about my sushi. Their little menu card that is supposed to tell you what each price is and what is on a plate is kind of small so you can't always tell what is what on the belt, but just ask and the staff is more than happy to help you out. They do also have other things you can order but there are plenty of sushi options coming around on the conveyor belt. They will also sear it for you if you want. Sometimes it can get crowded but the wait is never that long because it's quick to eat with the conveyor belt going around.

  • Faith R.

    This place is great! Lots of variety, and lots of cheap plates. 3 of us ate our fill for $30. No complaints!

    (5)

  • Macaria D.

    It's not the best sushi I've had, and it's not the worst, but it is DEFINITELY the cheapest. I'm not going to complain when I'm getting Sake (salmon) nigiri for $1.50. Two of us eat all we want and it totals out to less than $20. Highly recommended for those wanting to save a dime.

    (3)

  • Alanna S.

    Say I have $10, I'm very hungry, and I want some sushi? Ta-da! Here's the place! Say I have $25, I'm not totally starving and I want some sushi? I go somewhere else. That about sums it up :) (That said, I have eaten here many times and will be back again!)

  • Da P.

    This is my first yelp review. First time at sushi land. Didn't like my first experience. I found a piece of plastic in my food. Told the waiter about and she didn't do anything beside walk pass us and then came back just to pick the plate up and said "oh, what roll did you find it in" I told her and she's didn't do anything about it . I was complaining the whole time. All she did was took it off the a bill and gave my friend a free ice cream. That was it. Not coming back ever. You get what you pay for

    Great prices. Decent sushi on a conveyor belt. We came twice in two days. More choices and variety if you go during prime time.

  • Mara W.

    I've been coming here for years and have always loved the food, service and low prices. Two weeks ago I went with my family. The sushi was almost as good as usual but I noticed the place is absolutely FILTHY. It used to be clean. If you eat here, don't go to the bathroom, don't look at the chairs and never look at the floor.

  • Matt J.

    Inexpensive belt sushi, so come with the right expectations. We eat here almost once a week and crave it when out of town. Great, friendly atmosphere. Love the vibes.

    (5)

  • Michael R.

    I seriously love this place. It is low end cheap sushi which I am totally fine with when I'm on a budget. If I have extra money to spend I would for sure go elsewhere. You have to know going in that it is low end so you don't have crazy expectations on your way in. Don't expect to be eating good sushi. That being said, this place does great low end conveyor belt sushi. I think the staff is great. If you don't want something off the belt they are always happy and ready to make you something to order.

  • Sarah H.

    Queen Anne Sushiland for years has been my go-to sushi joint. It was my first exposure to conveyor belt sushi back in middle school and even after a decade it hasn't lost it's appeal. I'm always mildly self concious in normal sushi restaurants as I am pretty picky with what I like/can eat (no seaweed, no egg, no roe, no shellfish of any type and being super sensitive to texture...) sp I get embarrassed by myself when I order large quantities of one or two things. With conveyor belt style, I don't have to silently judge myself! Its awesome. Not to mention the price here is definitely right, and makes for a super quick fix when on a time crunch. That all said, is it necessarily going to be the freshest or highest quality sushi out there especially in a sushi loving town like Seattle? No, of course not. But even low quality here is miles beyond other places in the country and I have never been unhappy with what I get here. Even the non-sushi items are solid and I always enjoy complimenting my meal with a nice warm bowl of miso or udon. Finally, I came in this past friday during a fairly busy lunch period with my service dog for the first time and the waitstaff didn't bat an eye. They were respectful and friendly and made what was a nervous situation for me very pleasant. Thanks Sushiland :)

    The food that is on the belt sits for awhile whenever I go so it is warm. As you probably know, sushi is not good warm. but when you order is off the menu, it is chilled and tastes good. The staff are robots, they do not smile. Fix that.

    Above average quality. Consistent. Fast. Basically all you need from an automated seafood mover. Several locations around the Seattle area make it a ubiquitous sushi refueling station. Don't expect to get miso black cod collar or anything terribly sophisticated.

    I was excited to find this place, thinking this was the only conveyor belt sushi place in the Seattle area (I was quickly mistaken... They are all over the place). I went late so I think that's why the sushi selection wasn't that great. I probably won't go back because I found a place closer to where I live in Cap Hill (Genki Sushi)

    This place is filthy!! Two stars because the prices are great, you can grab a quick bite & the staff is very nice too. However as I looked around, I became more & more grossed out at the level of grease, grime & black muck on the walls...the floors...EVERYWHERE!

    My bad experience may have something to do with the time that we were there. We had come in about 45 minutes before they closed. There weren't many options on the conveyer belt (I could have ordered what I wanted but was too lazy, that's my fault) and the rolls were extremely messy looking. They fell apart really easily and were just not good. In my opinion, Blue C was like the cheapest, most unimpressive sushi restaurant. But Sushiland takes the cake now. Blue C is actually better. I guess with sushi you just shouldn't ever go cheap. They get two stars for good service and prices. But that comes at a cost.

    Great place to go regularly and not break the bank for some good sushi. Its not the best in town as many of the plates scrimp in comparison to other places but for the money you get a great deal. I have been going there since it opened and the Bellevue location for more than 10 years.

  • Shawn B.

    It's cheap conveyor belt sushi. Can't go wrong with that. There will hardly ever been anything on the belt that you will want to eat, so go ahead and just order up with the chefs behind the belt.

    I have been going to sushiland for years. It's probably my favorite kaiten sushi place in seattle. It is not fancy, but it is tasty, and insanely cheap. I don't think I've ever spent more than $15 there. Sometimes the sushi isn't fresh. So I always take it off the conveyer belt as soon as it's placed, or ask the sushi chef to make something for me. They also have a pretty large menu that doesn't go around, which you can ask for directly. Their seasonal items are also really fun. The last time I went there they had shaved ice. The waitresses tend to not be that helpful, and you often have to flag them down, but the sushi chefs are always very nice. I don't get them very often but their sushi platters are such a good deal, and they do a great job.

    I usually go to belltown for sushi but this place is closer to my apartment. Pleasantly surprised by the fresh taste and good selection. I wouldn't recommend any of the hot items (dumblings/fried spring rolls) as they were all cold on the inside. We asked for some rolls that we didn't see on the belt and they were quickly delivered and extremely good. I will definitely be saving my time going here and my trips to belltown sushi only for special occasions.

    The price is fine. The taste is ok. But when I thing about the price, I will be back to enjoy again. Not so much friendly chef. I wish they talk to us more to encourage customers to order more. I am a native Japanese.

    When to sushi land on 5ave. When in with a group of friends. Sat down and ate about 30 dishes. Compare the 32 dishes with TEN SUSHI. price was much much cheaper. $45 vs $180. The sushi was cheap stuff. The sushi was cheap thinly slice. Not a lot to write about . But price is cheap.. The choices is mostly, spicy tuna roll. California roll. Salmon sushi, French fries. Went there once . Would I go again? Maybe not..

    So I came here with my mom and sister two nights in a row for dinner and I have to say, it definitely filled us up greatly. Plates ranged from $1-$3 which is pretty cheap for sushi. The first night was a thrilling experience because I finally popped my conveyor belt sushi experience! I kept taking all the nigiri I saw and the different types of rolls making sure I didn't take the same ones again. Then as I was at my last bite before I was stuffed.. I saw it. The Space Needle! My mom asked the chef what is was made of and he said unagi, cream cheese and sirarcha sauce. I immediately grabbed it off the conveyor belt and happily munched on it. The bill that night was roughly $11 including tax and tip and we were morbidly stuffed. Not bad, not bad. Then the second night wasn't as OMG but we still stuffed ourselves and I decided to try the salmon skin udon for $3. It was good but small.. I guess it's worth what you pay for. Bill was roughly $10/person. Overall place has friendly staff and excellent service as my water was being filled up constantly and the guy making sushi was attentively listening to others around him asking for different types of rolls. Good multitasking skills B) oh and small tip, booths are reserved for parties of 3+ people. Luckily I got to sit both at the counter and in a booth when I went both nights. Like everyone says, the rolls are just average, but for the price it is pretty worth it. Definitely something to check out if you're in the area.

    This place totally kicks Blue C Sushi in the BUTT, and to think plates at Sushi Land cost a fraction of those at Blue C....INSANE. The food we tasted here on our visit was such good quality, I think they'd do spectacular business in Sydney, Australia, where I'm from. Even their raw salon roll was made fresh, as it was made with warm rice and cool piece of quality salmon. Also the only place I came across on our trip with cooked tuna roll. I couldn't get enough of them. I wanted to sit there all night so I could try everything. EVERYTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!! I love you Sushi Land. I miss you Sushi Land.

  • Samantha G.

    Sushi snobs, turn away! There are times where I want orgasmic sushi and then there are times where I just wanna stuff myself with sushi until I hurl. Sushi Land definitely caters to the glutton in me. Personally, I think this Sushi Land (Queen Anne) is the best conveyor belt restaurant in the Seattle area. The service here is good. If you want to order something that's not on the belt, its easy to ask the sushi chefs and they get it made right away. Also, you can't really beat the prices here. Plates typically range from $1-$3. I tend to order the salmon nigiri, seared salmon, chicken karaage, and saba nigiri. One thing you should avoid eating here is the Uni (sea urchin) because it tasted very fishy. So if you love uni like I do, avoid getting it here and save your craving for another place.

    if you go here i recommend wearing a swim suit and bringing a ice pack. my date had a heat stroke and died while eating dinner. also the only good roll is the one with bread crumbs on it.

  • Becca C.

    Cheap and basic, that's what you get. Edamame and shrimp pieces were very good. I was hoping for a spider roll to come around, but it never did. I dunno why I didn't just ask for one. Anyway, the rolls I had were sufficient, but there's no 'wow' factor here. Which it doesn't really need to be, based on the price. The service was ok, the ambiance left much to be desired (warehouse-like, no decor, sterile), and the value was pretty good. I had the sesame doughnuts for dessert, which were pretty yummy.

  • Star L.

    I have been coming to this location for years. It is by far the best out of the other locations I have been to. The staff is always friendly and the sushi is at a fantastic price. From a vegetarians' point of view, there are SO MANY options and combos to choose from. My guy isn't a vegetation and even he just fills up on the tofu roll (with scallions and sweet'n sour sauce), mr. bean roll, and the crispy asparagus roll (our fave). The veggie tempura is fantastic and the udon is always delish! Even with Sake and large stacks of plates, we always walk out satisfied and never paying over about $23 total. Though, about 10 minutes after we leave we always regret that one plate too many, just couldn't resist. Haha!

    (5)

  • Dan P.

    Wow, this is some seriously cheap sushi! I just sat at the bar, watched the revolving plates, and grabbed what I wanted. This is great for stuff like spicy tuna rolls, shrimp tempura rolls, seared salmon (the winner!), and stuff like that. I don't think this is the place to eat amaebi, uni, etc. I ate until I was stuffed and the total was $16.50! I mostly picked the $1 and $1.50 plate and a few $2 plates. Amazing...don't expect Shiro's quality but for what it is, it's good stuff!

  • Sarah D.

    Don't bother. The first time I went here, I thought it was less nice than Genki and much less nice than Blue C, but certainly was edible. The second visit convinced me to avoid at all costs. Cheap sushi can be fun, but sushi land is just bad. While it is certainly the least expensive conveyor belt sushi place, only a few of the items actually look edible. The boyfriend and I were planning on ordering a bottle of sake, but a waitress never came to take our order, for the entire hour we were there, despite us trying to waive one over, so we didn't even get water. When it came time to pay our bill, we waited about fifteen minutes before we could get someone over to tally us up. Our bill came out much higher than expected--because we'd been billed for 4 more plates than we ate. We waited another 15 minutes to get someone's attention to correct the mistake, but our waitress was none-to-polite about the mixup.

  • Noni W.

    I had been searching for a cheap conveyor belt sushi place and finally found this place. Love! They offer a wide variety of sushi and non-sushi items for really cheap prices. If there's something you want that's not on the conveyor belt, you can tell the chefs who are making the food right in front of you. I took off one star because their service is not the most attentive. You have to be proactive in asking for what you want. Luckily my boyfriend knew how to speak japanese so he was able to get their attention.

  • Erik M.

    What you've got here is straight up, no-frills conveyor belt sushi. Plates are color coded to indicate price. Eat what you want, grab the check, and get out. You're not going to find any top shelf or overly inventive/challenging options making the rounds, but you can order something specific if you'd like. The service can be a bit spotty once you're seated with your miso soup and beverage, but you don't really need someone hovering around your table, as you're helping yourself to food, what more do you need? And besides, spotty as the service might be, it's always friendly. It may not be fancy or even particularly memorable, but for a quick, satisfying, and inexpensive lunch, Sushi Land is worth a bit of a trek.

    This review is a few years overdue. I have a pretty strong stomach, but roughly 4 hours after eating here with a friend I had horrible stomach pain, nausea and indigestion. I felt fine the next morning, but perhaps something wasn't refrigerated or prepared properly. I love sushi, but haven't been back to this establishment since.

  • Ty R.

    This was really not very good. A couple of the things I tried were decent, but overall I think it was just too hit or miss to find out which dishes were okay. Dishes that should have been hot were cold and dishes that should stay cold were warm. Maybe if you spend a few visits finding out which dishes are decent, it would be a good value, but I'm not sure I'm willing to go back.

  • Lily C.

    Price: Cheapest sushi in town - 5 stars Service: There was a line when we arrived, but we were being seated faster than our expectation. The waitress was quick in asking for our drink order and quick in serving them too. The people inside the conveyor belt did not pay full attention to our orders so they ended up serving us less than what we wanted once and more than what we wanted once. - 4 stars Cleanliness: There was a white door behind where we sat which is for employee only, the bottom of the door was covered by mold. The utensils look pretty old. - 2 stars Food: Neither fancy nor extremely delicious. Personally, I love their Seared Salmon roll. We were a party of 5, and on average we spent about $16 per person, and each of us left with an extremely full stomach. - 3 stars Result: (5 + 4 + 2 + 3) / 4 = 3.5 rounding up to 4 because I will definitely visit again and I will also recommend this restaurant to my friends.

  • Paul W.

    Went here because Genki has closed down. Sushi was sub-par at best, the fish was luke warm and tasted as if it had sat out for at least an hour. This assumption was confirmed by the lack of new plates being added to the belt and the presence of the same nigiri and sushi rotating the restaurant from the beginning of our visit through the end. The place was packed so either everyone was just ordering plates, or someone paid them to sit there. Service was ok, but we had to tell the chefs we were done to get a check.

  • Vivian H.

    OK, it's official. I LOVE Sushi Land. I was very skeptical at first, because I was used to more upscale sushi boat restaurants, rather than conveyor belt sushi with super cheap prices. Seattle is amazing. San Francisco needs some Sushi Lands. The main reason why I like it here is the salmon nigiri. It's amazing, delicious, and it's much more fresh than you would ever believe. The cuts aren't as big, but it's only $1.50 for a plate of two. I have never even seen unnerving and bad nigiri here, and I have in SF where they charge almost triple. If I were to ever move back to SF, I don't think I can eat at another sushi boat restaurant ever again. I am full at about $10, which is about 6 plates. Amazing deal, and amazingly fresh salmon nigiri. That's pretty much all I eat here. I love coming here for a very quick a dinner.

    When it first opened this was the go to place for sushi. You had to wait hours and the lines were out the door. The staff and restaurant was great and the sushi freshly made by real Japanese Sushi Chefs. But over the years it's worn down and starting to show its age. The chefs are spanish descent now which I call Mexican Sushi. Anymore the sushi is hit or miss on any given day. The crowds are gone and the sushi is subpar. The restaurant interior is worn, dirty, and could really use new paint and cleaning.

  • Erin D.

    Very cheap sushi, which is reflected in the quality. Not awful good, but if you can afford to spend more than $10 on sushi your money will be better spent elsewhere. The service was decent. The guys in the middle are very attentive and will make you anything you request.

    Honestly been coming here for years. Service and wait is ok but food is consistently decent. Never bad but never terrible. Consistent neutral. Kind of a everyday spot for decent salmon decent pricing. Sear salmon and prime salmon are good

  • Heather H.

    Sometimes I just need me some quick cheap sushi, without having to bang it out on finding a happy hour, just some clean simple cuts and that perfect ratio of carbs n' protein. This place has to be the cheapest spot to grab some sushi dinner. I can find loads of options for mostly under $3.00. Though I usually stock up on the $1.00 plates - can't get enough of those! The rolls tend to be on the larger side, very fulling for just a few pieces. I'm not a picky girl so I tend to choose the simple cuts/rolls. My only quip is how hard it is just to get your water refilled. Theres usually minimal staff on hand, so grabbing the waitress attention to just get the bill added up can be a pain. Great place for saving $$$ for cheap simple rolls.

  • Kristian L.

    Oh Sushi Land, oh Sushi Land... I'm giving this 4 stars because I like the concept, service and prices! Like a lot other Yelpers, it's quick and easy. Come in, sit down, grab the food you want, order specials food you don't see on the belt, have them count up how much you ate, then get up and go pay...BAM, done! I wished they would stay open a little later though...for those late night craving.

  • Casey G.

    This Sushi Land is one of my new favorites! They have the conveyor belt sushi for dining in, but lately I've been ordering food to go. Its not the absolute best quality sushi, thats for sure. Places like Wasabi, or Umi are much more high end and a lot more expensive. It is pretty good food though, and such a good portion of food for your money! I eat a ton of sushi and leave there with more than I can eat for less than $20. The people who work there are really sweet, and the service is very fast even when they are busy. Give it a try!

    The food is mediocre at best and quite often, I find myself wondering why I came here in the first place. However, there's something about conveyor belt cheap fake sushi that I can't stop craving. Literally, I always say I'm never coming back and I end up doing so within a few months. The food is mediocre but for 7-10 dollars, it's a half decent lunch

  • Melissa M.

    My ultimate favorite sushi place! Inexpensive and very yummy! Yes items are on the conveyor for a bit but legally they have to toss foods after a certain time limit and I'm a chef myself so I pay close attention to things like that! I've seen them offer to customers foods that they will have to toss soon for free or I've seen then toss the foods out! So no, you won't get sick from "old food let out too long" you could get sick from eating sushi in general as it's raw fish! I always order what I want so I avoid some conveyor sushi and get fresh made to order sushi that's prepared right in front of me!! Staff is so cool as they always know what I like and start preparing sushi items before I even have to request them! Free hot tea is a nice touch and you can't beat seeing them fabricate the fresh fish right in front of you! Parking isn't great as it's such a popular restaurant and there's either paid parking or free parking on the street if you're lucky enough to get a spot on the street. Great place for kids or picky eaters as they have French fries, slushies, brownies, chicken, vegetable tempura, creme brûlée, etcetera. Price ranges from only $1 to $3 plates. Soft drinks are about $150 and free refills. Of course, ice tap water and hot tea is free!

    This is good CHEAP sushi. Do not come here thinking high end, it's not. For what it is though, it is perfect. This one is way better than the south center one by the way, if given the choice always come here, not there. Try asking for the crispy rice, deep fried rice cake with avocado, crab salad, and spicy tuna, its not always on the menu so you have to order it.

  • Tas H.

    So I have a new food crush and its name is Sushi Land! It's not a fancy, dim lit restaurant but it offers a fun and novel take on sushi with the rotating conveyor belt. I know they do it overseas but I had never seen it in the states until Sushi Land. Best of all, it offers fresh and delicious sushi/sides with great value. You can eat like a sushi goddess for $10-$15! Definitely a place to take out-of-towners too.

  • Sarah S.

    Liked being able to walk in and start eating, as we were getting a pretty late start on dinner. Service was great, food was well prepared. The fish didn't taste super flavorful, which is what you should expect when going to an inexpensive sushi joint. It would be nice if they had a bit more expansive menu with more options.

    (3)

  • Peequi P.

    Best sushi in terms of value. Would not take a date or business meeting here, but great for cheap sushi. Presentation is ugly(how the sushi is prepared and cut), but freshness and taste is on par with places that charge literally double the price! Trust me, I am a really sushi expert. Not like most of the wanna be posers on YELP who think they know sushi because they jump on the band wagon and go eat sushi on a Friday night at places like Blue C Sushi which is poser sushi. I bet most of you never even had REAL wasabi. I am not sure if Sushi Land is franchised or under the same management but I hear that this location is the best. I cannot speak for myself because it has been awhile since I been to the other locations.

    Sushi land is great for a quick sushi fix. Prices are amazing and rolls are always fresh! I also love the fact that you can order additional items off of the menu. Sometimes getting a seat is tough because its always packed, but its so delicious. I love all of their options..... So yummy!

    Hubby has been jonesing for sushi for months & we had a gift certificate for Sushiland so we braved traffic & rain to come here. We had been before years ago & it was just as we remembered it. When we got there approx. 6 pm there were plenty of seats to be had. about 15 minutes later the place was packed! We like to go sit on the backside away from the cold door. You are also close to the sushi chefs so you can shout out a special reuest hand roll or spider roll. Hubby and I each got a small hot Sake $3.50. Water's brought too which is good because the soy sauce made me thirsty. Had an assortment of nigiri plates including salmon, tuna, tobeko. Tried the Space Needle Roll. Unagi & cream cheese in a tempura roll stacked cutely. For $2.00 it was a deal. Got a couple of spider rolls. Only ate one thing that was sketchy; squid balls. I thought it was a shrimp ball because it had bonito flake on top. But upon biting into it you instantly taste & feel the chew of octopus. Hubby ate the first one & was turned off. I tried one & liked it. Hubby tried the 3rd one and decided the first one must have just been bad. Grand total for 16 plates & 2 sakes $41. Minus our $20 gift certficate, plus $5 tip for servers/sushi chefs $25 to stuff ourselves silly on sushi was a good deal!

    I always go here to get cheap and ok quality sushi. My very last visit, last Thursday, was ok. I was there around 2:30 pm. There were about 10 customers there, including me. They didn't have a lot of selections of sushis on the belt. I understand that it was a down time, but the staff should have constantly checking the belt and adding more sushis. I usually go there with a couple of friends. I was there by myself this time, so I spent my eating time observing the place and I could really see that this place is not all that clean. I'm all about cheap and good eats, but not so much about unclean restaurants. Anyhow, I had all the salmon to my heart's content, both raw and seared. 10 plates in total.

    I'll admit right now that I was very skeptical of this place. I mean really...sushi on a conveyor belt? That's crazy pants. But then I read the reviews and decided to put my guts on the line. I'm glad I did. Not only was the sushi delicious but it was also crazy affordable. As in dangerously so. I'm still not totally sure what I ate but I know it was awesome. The staff is incredibly attentive and if you don't see the food you want on the belt, you can ask and they'll make it right in front of you. Basically what I'm trying to say is that this place is great and you should come here. Often.

    Accidentally walked by here heading to a coffee shop in the morning while visiting Seattle with my mom and sis. Didn't think we would stop in here for dinner since living in the Bay Area, there are quite a few sushi restaurants to go to. Upon entering the restaurant, I can definitely tell that this place is catered toward tourists (and locals) for the cheap price, as well as the cute conveyor belt of sushi rolling by as you eat. The sushi was alright, not the best tasting but for $1.00-$3.00 a plate? You seriously cannot beat that! The only thing that bothered me about this restaurant was the freshness of the ingredients. I ordered shrimp tempura udon and saw a chef making it and took out a bag of frozen, already made tempura :( but I can't complain. I mean, who makes udon from scratch anyway? Quite impossible. Its like instant ramen. Service was okay, the waiters/waitresses hardly ever checked up on you but they constantly refilled our waters. One of the sushi chefs (I think he had a slight beard, a mustache and is one of the non-asian staff working there) was extremely nice and was super fast in taking custom sushi orders. This place will definitely leave you bloated and stuffed. We even ate dinner here the next day and tried some new rolls. On average you can spend about $10/person here--pretty cheap and better than McDonalds, which is a few blocks away. Will come here again if I am ever in town. Try the Space Needle roll or ask for it!

    Growing up in Hawaii, there are loads of Japanese restaurants. But aside from sushi takeout places or buffets, I never really had a "sushi meal". Kind of sad that Sushiland several years ago was my first real introduction to sushi at the ripe old age of 25. I have been here a couple of times since then, as well as tried several of the other locations. While the menu is the same, your experience will vary at each. And I have to say that I like this place less each time I visit. The Genki Sushi across the street gives me less reason to visit this place. My conclusion is that my sushi tastes have changed. What may have passed as good when I was a kiddie sushi eater will no longer do. I am a big boy now! I know that I should not expect much given the cheap prices here, but the quality is really so-so. The mackerel nigiri that once was my favorite here now seems incredibly fishy and unappetizing. I will say that the unagi while formulaic still is tasty. It does not help that the conveyor belt selection here is lacking. The same stuff seems to go around several times. I will say that there are more nigiri selections, but not many rolls and left me wanting more of these. And where was all of the fried options? Sometimes you just have to have a shrimp tempura roll, you know. I will say that Sushiland was and does serve as a good introduction to the world of sushi for novices. But I have overgrown this place. I can't imagine choosing this Sushiland over Genki given the same pricing unless I am feeling nostalgic.

    Would you like some super-cheap conveyor-belt sushi? Then this is one of the spots you could go to! The prices are great, the sushi is... well, you get what you pay for! It's sort of kind of alright, but definitely nothing fantastic. I've had their udon as well, and that's pretty good. Just beware of the beef one - even a meat lover ended up fishing that out of his bowl and setting it on a plate to be tossed! The one thing I wish they had was LABELS on their plates. I rather enjoy that feature at Blue C, because sometimes I like knowing what I'm going to be consuming. What else, what else? I was rather disturbed by the butane fuel can "cooking" of the cooked sushi. Also that fried prawn nigiri was a bit odd looking, but I guess some folks are into that kind of thing. Me? I like it fresh and I like it raw. I also like low prices, however, so sometimes I'll feed my sushi addiction at Sushi Land!

    this place is okay. I think that there are better sushi places than this one though. Maybe I'm just not a fan of conveyor belt sushi, but I want to think that this place has lots of fresh sushi They don't provide parking, but the streets are full of non metered free parking. I would recommend if you are desperate and hungry

  • Kevin T.

    Come here.. for the experience, nothing else. Prices vary from $1, $1.50, $2.00, and $3.00. You definitely get what you pay for here. $1.50 for two pieces of salmon nigiri is a crazy steal, but price represents quality, so don't expect fresh fish. The salmon is even pre-cut and ready for assembly in a plastic container. There was not really anything worth mentioning, just grab whatever looks decent and give it a go. Be wary though, some rolls are out there for a while, I even saw wasabi melt into a deep fried roll because of the time its been out. I had no problem with service, seated promptly, water was refilled, paid with no problems, and no problems in communication. Perfect for a quick snack, or really quick lunch. Return factor is unlikely, my total was $18 something, and coming from the land of buffets and AYCE sushi joints, I'll definitely drop a couple more bucks for a more satisfying meal.

    Learned that this was the first conveyor belt sushi place in Seattle. Tasty. Plates are $1, $1.50, $2, or $3. Quite the value. No frills decor. Fast service on the sushi orders we placed. Tons of traffic - so the fish on the belt was fresh and didn't sit there long at all. Bonus: No charge for the hot tea. Favorites we had were: seared salmon, spicy salmon, spicy scallop, queen anne roll, spider roll, seared shrimp, sockeye salmon and an amaebi, of course. My sushi belly was so happy today.

    This is the best cheap sushi-go-round in Seattle that I've found. I'm rating it 5 stars not because it's the most incredible sushi I've put in my mouth (it's not, that would be the much more expensive Umi Sake House), but because Marinepolis Sushi Land doesn't pretend to be anything but a cheaper sushi joint and for having cheaply priced sushi, the quality is awesome. My boyfriend and I eat plates and plates of all sorts of yummy nigiri and rolls and we're always pleasantly surprised at the total price. The salmon and tuna nigiri are especially delicious, as are the mussels, and the chefs will whip you up anything you want but don't see on the conveyor belt. Quick, friendly serving staff as well.

    This is my favorite Sushiland location. Unfortunately, I'm never usually around this area so I end up going to the Southcenter location. Whenever I come here, they always have some cool made up rolls. Last time I was there, they had a "Space needle roll" set up like the space needle. They have cool rolls like that often. I appreciate how FRESH everything taste here, unlike Southcenter. Also, the service here is good. They check on you a lot and get your orders out to you quickly.

    For conveyor belt Sushi this joint is alright. Better than Genki for sure (but how hard is that to manage?). You aren't going to be wowed by anything you put in your mouth here. Standard rolls, standard cuts, standard average eatings. Freshness is questionable depending on the time of day. But you wont spend a lot, and you'll leave full. I'd come here if I felt REALLY lazy, cuz when it comes to cheap sushi I do have Wasabi (and their happy hour) in my backyard, and they are much much much better. It is sometimes a pain to get your drinks refilled, but they are always quick to count your plates and get you cashed out.

    I went here on 3/16 and this place is pretty much a typical ok sushi place. I only came here because my friend likes cheap sushi (He never had great sushi so he can't differentiate good and bad sushi) and we were in the area. I've been to the sushiland in Tukiwila and I think the one in Tukiwila is better. What was not good about this place: - The rice was warm....WTF. I've had sushi in Japan and I've never come across sushi with warm rice.. - I asked for Ebi and the Japanese sushi chef looked at me like "I don't take orders" with a cold look. He was a sushi chef but he was wearing a black tshirt, sports pants, and slippers....Judging by the way his co-workers look at him he looks like a manager or the store owner? He's a bit big for a Japanese guy. - The sushi chef were speaking about things you shouldn't talk about when you're making food right in front of customers in Japanese. He probably assumed that just because majority of the customers were white, non-Japanese looking people he could speak in his native language about things he wouldn't say in English. Now this manager or owner looking guy was talking about a topic about women in a way people wouldn't be pleasant about hearing if they were speaking in English. I would have said something if I were a parent and had kids with me. The only thing good about this place was attentative servers that worked outside the kitchen....I'm Japanese and I'll never go back here for sushi. HELL NO.

    this place serves quite possibly the worst sushi i have ever had in my entire life. no, really. grocery store sushi ranks much higher than this place. restaurants in land locked states have better sushi than this. yes, this place is cheap, but it is still not worth it. i am usually a person who can not walk out of a sushi place without spending $100. i am a sushi whore. i eat a lot of sushi. i have eaten at a lot of various sushi places from the sustainable fish places to conveyor belt sushi to qfc and trader joe's sushi. i usually stack between 13 and 17 plates at my favorite conveyor belt places. this place, i spent less than $10, but that is mostly due to not being able to stomach trying another bite. the pieces i did try were either completely devoid of flavor or incredibly salty. everything else on the belt didn't even look appetizing. i love a good conveyor belt place just as much as the sustainable places, i am not a snob. this place is truly horrific. i left here hungry and having to find some place else for dinner.

    I went to this sushi land because i am a big fan of the redmond branch, but Oh was i wrong!!! The place could use some cleaning -this includes the dishes. The sushi is so not fresh and so not good! By the end of the meal, i had to rush home because i had food poisoning, my sister went through the same. I hope they are aware of these things!!

    I think Sushiland is the best bet for conveyer belt sushi. I would give the Bellevue location first place and this second. The selection is ok. Typical fast food sushi, but everything moves quickly and the quality is imho, better than Blue C sushi or Tengu. I come here when I want quick and cheap sushi (and its closer to home than Bellevue).

    (3)

  • Alisa C.

    Oh Sushiland.....How I LOVE thee!!!! Cheap sushi and you get to pluck it straight off of a conveyor belt! Or you always ask one of the sushi chefs to make it fresh for you (which is what I do right when I walk through the door). The BEST thing here is the Spicy Salmon....it's gunkan maki (basically chopped up salmon that is mixed with a spicy Sriracha-mayo blend that is over a bed of rice and had crispy nori wrapped around it). For every spicy salmon gunkanmaki....you get 2 per plate....AND it's $1!!! SOOOO GOOOODDD!! I always get at least 5 of these every time......sometimes when I want to mix it up a bit, I'll ask them to make it into a hand roll for $2. Another AMAZING thing here is the seared salmon...you can also get the seared yellowtail as well, but I prefer the salmon though. just imagine salmon nigiri that gets seared with a blow torch (YES, I said blow torch!!) so that the salmon is warm, but not cooked all the way through. It is pure heaven in your mouth because it literally just MELTS (and all for the low price of $1.50)! There is also fried calamari that is really really good too and it's also just $1.50. The uni is pretty tasty too......but for some reason....the consistency of uni reminds me of durian....I know...weird...I guess I just don't appreciate the finer things in life :P This Queen Anne location beats the Lynnwood location because the servers here are very attentive and I just enjoy how Queen Anne feels bigger inside. It feels more airy and not cramped at all. Pros: -You get to actually see the sushi, nigiri, and gunkan maki before you pick it up off the conveyor belt! -Cheap and Inexpensive for pretty decent sushi -The service is great and people are always both attentive and very friendly -SPICY SALMON!!! -SEARED SALMON!!!! Cons: -Sometimes it's hard to find parking at this location because you have to park on the street...and that means parallel parking :( Why I gave it a 5..... Great service and yummy sushi!! I just love being able to try new things that I see on the conveyor belts and I know the prices of the items too (because the plates are all color coded with the prices). It's also nice to know that I have the option to order things so then I know that it's super fresh and just for me or it is piping hot (like the calamari). Til we meet again Sushiland!!

    I love this place! For inexpensive sushi in a casual environment, with a variety to choose from, this is the spot! Conveyor belt sushi, but they will always make something to order if you don't find it revolving around the room. Bring a friend who's never had sushi before and treat them to some new flavors!

    Do you need a place to bring your bottomless-pit of a brother, who loves sushi, and whenever you have a meal with him at any other sushi place you wind up spending a million dollars? (Did I mention he is 10 years old?) TRY SUSHI LAND! Good for 10 year old boys and money-impaired sisters alike. Also, its tasty.

  • Veronica T.

    Pretty straightforward: cheap sushi. Was it great? No. Was it good? Yes. It was actually a lot better than I expected as well as much cheaper than I expected. I will be going back. A couple more notes to add: - They have small portions of noodles and appetizers for a couple bucks each which is sweet. - Service is questionable at best. One of the bowls of noodles slipped out of the servers hands and landed all up on me. However, the server merely handed me a towel and no one else came by to help. - Sushi boats, enough said. - And to reiterate, very inexpensive.

    The color of all the food didn't look quite right. Much cleaner inside than I expected from the dumpy looking store front. Not much service or attention. Strange items that were certainly not traditional Japanese sushi going around the belt. Verdict: SKIP IT!

    Writing this one very late, since I've been going to this location since I got to Seattle. It's conveyor sushi. There's a lot of variety and it's all pretty darn good. If you're a sushi snob, don't bother. If you like a lot of very nice food that's fresh, and CHEAP, go go go go! I definitely recommend the seared salmon, salmon skin hand roll, space needle roll, and the calamari (ask them to make you one so it comes out hot ) with their bang bang sauce. I've never been able to clear over 15 dollars a person here, and I always roll out stuffed like a goose. Best conveyor sushi in Seattle!

  • May C.

    It was conveniently located near our hotel, so we decided to give it a try. It was a bad decision: poor menu selection, the only fresh fish is salmon..., their house special roll is made out of canned tuna (yuck), and poor service (we asked 3x for water). Yep, I won't recommend this place to anyone.

    It's cheap sushi that tastes pretty darn good. Service is whatever, but the food is decent if you know what to get. You can also ask them to make you whatever is on the little menu. If you are expecting sashimi, go to a real sushi house and pay the requisite $50/person. Have fun!

    i had to up my review to a four-star, because i have to say that i am a fan. since my last review i have been to this place a dozen times! the sushi guys are super nice, and when they start to recognize you, they are a bit more attentive. i sometimes wish the servers there were just as attentive, but the sushi guys more than make up for that. as far as quality, it can be a bit hit or miss. but if you're like me and stick to your basic favorites, you can always know what to expect. any way you slice it, you can't beat a belly full of sushi for under $20 bucks, i say.

    Revolving sushi. Best I have had so far, and I am from Los Angeles, CA. I have been here twice within the past 2yrs. The quality of the sushi is ok, not the freshest, but still good. The apple cinnamon desert (looks like an egg roll w powdered sugar) is good! The "homemade" chocolate pudding was too watery. + : Salmon, Spicy Tuna Rolls, Masago, Toro are good! Service: Waitress was attentive and friendly. Price: Color coded plates ranging from $1-$3ea. Depends on how many plates you eat

    So some friends wanted to get sushi last night and picked Sushiland...Didn't have to wait this time and got a table really quickly. The sushi quality has definitely improved a bit since the last time I went there and the maguro was pretty darn good this time around. The california rolls could have been rolled tighter, but then again I am a sushi snob.... The staff still needs work...Our waitress took forever and a day to get our water/sodas. The sushi chefs took awhile to make the stuff we ordered... It's one saving grace is definitely its prices...

    (2)

  • Faith Y.

    It was the hardest decision I had to make, I demoted a star from Sushiland. Hai, you're the fast food of sushi. Hai, you have a conveyor belt but ex-nay, that's where the novelty ends. The freshness of the fish is essential, $1 hamburgers are at least frozen and cooked all the way, that limp looking, discolored salmon on your plate? All together now, can we say bacteriaaaa? The selections out on the belt are getting worse and worse. (Think california roll after california roll). It gets to the point where a group of us will sit there fiddling with our chopsticks until resigning and ordering everything straight from the chefs (that is, if you can get their attention). And that totally defeats the convenience of the conveyor belt! I've come away feeling full but unsatisfied and feeling a little sickish. If this and Blue-C are my only choices, I'm making my own dang sushi! *whips out sushi roller machine & puts on a chef's hat* What, you don't think I have a chef's hat? You'll never know ...

  • Eric R.

    Interesting little spot. They have the sushi belt that runs around the kitchen and brings you sushi enjoyment. Everything was super cheap and I was expecting sub-par sushi but it was definitely better then the price infers. Me and my insignificant other thought this was going to be a bust but it was tasty.

    (4)

  • Katie S.

    I know sushi snobs will look down on this place. But I am a fan of what you can get for the price. The sushi is sometimes hit or miss, but generally it is consistent. I usually go for the hamachi, spicy tuna rolls, spicy mussels and the ultimate thing to get here, in my HUMBLE opinion, is the salmon cheek. You have to ask for it and they only have it on occasion, but when they do I am one happy girl. My friends usually look at it, look at me eating it, and want to hurl. But its like chicken almost, only more oily and tasty. So good.

    Hey... I actually really enjoy this place. Service sucks, but food is good. I come in here expecting a lot of sushi at a fair price. Now I will say that I am by no means a sushi snob, but this stuff is very tasty! I came here last night with a group of friends because we were in the mood and my friend came in town and demanded to come here. Parking was ok, we found a spot up the street but I think we got lucky on that aspect. Right when we come in our party had already been there but refused to seat them until we arrived (weird). When we sat down and started to gorge on sushi, we didn't receive water/service/anything for about 5-7 minutes. Of course, I was stuffing myself and my mouth started to get very parched with all the salt/soy/wasabi goodness. After a while, we got the servers attention and she helped us out. Other than that, I had an enjoyable time. The rolls were tasty to me, they even had the squid in the small little box which was very tasty. All in all, good food, mediocre service. You get what you pay for though, I left very full and my girlfriend as well and we paid right around 20 bucks. You can't really beat that.

    I am totally anti-train/conveyor-belt sushi places, and this is no exception. I grew out of my mediocre, mindlessly-slapped-together-then-left-to-wander-­on-the-infinite-sushi-loop sushi phase YEARS ago. Yeah, it was a novelty when I was 22 and didn't know shit from shine-ola, but times have changed. I grew up. And just as I stopped liking McDonald's happy meals when I hit my teenage years, so did I learn to loathe crappy raw fish after many-a-gorge-fests a Takahashi train sushi in Portland. So fast forward to my Yelping days. Between Yelp, the Food Network, and being connected to the industry, let's just say that, call it what you will, I have developed my own, personal, subjective tastes. I like to think I have good taste. Some others may disagree. Some might call me pretentious (oh yeah? well f*ck you then). But seriously, I am DONE. I am DONE listening to my friends tell me "oh, this conveyor belt sushi place is different. This one is good." NO! The service here is abysmal. The restaurant is dirty. The prices are cheap and so is the fish. I saw plenty of dried out nigiri. The stuff is cut en-masse then put into cellophane wrapped styro-foam trays, only to be ripped apart, slapped on a nugget of poorly done "sushi rice", and left to rot on a pate stuck on endless loop. The teriyaki chicken looked fake. I will eat just about anything, anywhere, and I found myself seriously hesitating to eat just about everything that was put in front of me. Oh, and the seared items tasted like butane. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me for the sixty fifth time, shame on me. I won't eat American, Chinese, or Japanese buffets, why would I eat one that's just been gussied up with a conveyor belt. It's still mass-produced buffet food. If you like buffet food, if you don't mind that there's a decent chance that the sushi you are eating has been rotating for a while, if you don't mind fairly bland food dressed up with spicy mayo, then you'll love this place. If, however, you value yourself, you'll skip it and find a real sushi place.

  • Eunice K.

    I seriously don't know why I keep on coming here. I LOVE conveyor belt sushi places, but this place totally doesn't cut it. I went for lunch when it was just moderately busy and again (like before) I had to wait for at least 15 minutes before a waitress came to check us out. If I had cash I would've just put the money down and left because my boyfriend had to go back to work. The prices are a little bit cheaper than other conveyor belt sushi, but it's a trade off. A little bit cheaper pricing for CONSISTENTLY bad service and even worse quality fish? Meh. I'll go to the other conveyor belt sushi down the street.

  • R T.

    Never has depleting the ocean's resources tasted so yummy. You can't say anything bad about this place. It's just the best, cheapest, fastest, tastiest, nicest, tastiest, bestest of all sushi place I've ever been to in my whole entire life. I picture an orca whale sitting next to me and turning to say, "yeah, my friends and I come here all the time". Sushi Land, I love you.

  • Michelle W.

    After being a very loyal customer at Sushi Land for several years (3-5 times per month myself, plus introducing another 15-20 people to the establishment), I had an experience last night that will keep me from returning. It was around dinner time and there was a good sized crowd. I've experienced that before but decided that getting carryout was worth the wait because the food is always good. At 6:30, I gave my order to the waitress/hostess at the register. She took it and set it down as another customer was in line to pay their bill. No problem, I'll go take a seat in the window and wait. Wait. Wait some more. Keep waiting. The waitresses kept moving, walking past me several dozen times. Yes, the place was hopping. I have waited up to 40 minutes for a carry out order here, so no biggie. At the one hour mark I wanted to find out the status, I went up to the register and waited in line for a chance to inquire about my order. The waitress looked at me and said, "I took your order, right?" "Yes--that was an hour ago. How much longer?" I ask. She looks around the desk, picks up a piece of order paper, and says "Let me check." I turn around and watch her hand the paper to the sushi chef without saying a word and then returns to the register and says "About another 20 minutes." I inquire, "Was that my order?" and she replies "yes." Let's see if I understand this. She planned to simply submit the ticket and not accept any blame for the mistake. And she didn't even asked the chef to make it a rush order! Needless to say, I am furious. Yes, people make mistakes. I get that. I have certainly done it. But when you are in customer service, the last thing you do is ignore that you have made a mistake. You apologize. You admit the problem and you do something to fix it quickly. You offer a special compensation or perhaps even a glass of water to the patron that has been waiting patiently for the last hour. Slow service has not stopped me previously, but NO SERVICE is another matter. Teach your servers to be be respectful of patrons. Admit a mistake and you might not lose another customer.

    Didn't know this Sushiland even existed (thanks Yelp). They have a much larger menu than the other Sushilands. Not new and pretty like Puyallup but much larger and cleaner than Bellevue. Couldn't believe all the great specials that they had and the prices were right. Lunch for 2 with a large container of take out (got a little grab happy) was $26

    (4)

  • Jim R.

    YES, it's cheap! But they do a pretty good job of giving you all the main-stays. And if you call out your requests to the sushi chiefs, they do their best to oblige. Every city should have at least one of these in every entertainment district. NEXT, Capitol Hill, THEN Fremont, AFTER THAT SoDo. (by then they should be nationally franchised and be competing with Starbucks for $$$ foot traffic corners.)

  • Stacy Y.

    Okay sushi, dont expect this place to be great with fresh fish but we keep coming back to this place for sushi from time to time for one reason, it's cheap! And the fish are decent (much better than Genki in my opinion) for the price... so can't complain. If you want something you don't see on the belt, you can just order from the chef.

  • Peter L.

    Hella Cheap ASS sushi that won't kill ya EQUALS thumbs up! Came here for dinner because of it's proximity to our hotel. It was our 1st experience at a conveyor belt joint! I understand that some stuff are going to be on the conveyor for hours, not be the freshest and just to avoid those items will makes my experience better! Except that plan gets blown out of the water the second I'm seated as I proceed to grab stuff left and right like there's no tomorrow! LOL! The mainly Asian staff was friendly and efficent. We ordered a couple things from the sushi chef when we didn't see it. Seattle loves tourching their sushi as lot of the selection was done that way. Unlike at Genki, I didn't notice their specials on the belt (which was written on a chalk board near the register). Decent meal at cheap prices. We left stuffed!

    (3)

  • Ginny M.

    You cannot beat the prices for very good sushi! The dollar to dollar-and-a-half plates don't reflect any compromising on quality. (They have higher-priced items too, i.e. 2 dollars or even 3 but there are a lot within that lower range and even 2 and 3 dollars per dish is cheap compared with most sushi prices). As for the service - compared with the excellent and responsive sushi chefs, I would give the waitress service a minus 1. However, I don't let their indifferent shrugs in answer to my questions, or my having to chase down water, low-sodium soy, the check, etc. bother me. I come for the sushi and it has never disappointed.

  • Holly K.

    Honestly for the price, you can't beat it. I kind of hate saying that because then people who love Sushi- might not want to try it out. Everything I had tasted good, oh wait, except for the potstickers, they were cold because they sat out too long, but they have this magnetized system where the plates are timed and if they aren't taken by a customer within a certain time, they eject themselves from the conveyor belt and then are thrown directly into the trash. We thought that was a pretty big waste, but at least you know the conveyor belt sushi is fresh. Everyone in my party enjoyed the sushi we got, nothing was left uneaten. I spent $9 and was beyond stuffed afterwards and I can eat a good amount of food. Everyone in our party spent under $10 and was completely satisfied afterwards. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, for cheap, stop in... I'd be surprised if you regretted it.

    (4)

  • Mickey K.

    Definitely my style of dining. The food is instantly there for me to eat, waitresses don't bother me since they're probably busy with other things and it's good for the price. I like it. I mean, come on, who likes to make to make small talk when you could be eating? As for the other reviews talking about the American style sushi... Yeah it's probably true that it won't taste that good. I always order the raw nigiri straight from the chefs to insure they're freshly made. Oh and they have bonito tuna! My favorite! So yes, five stars from this happy customer here.

  • Rachel A.

    As a vegetarian, sushi is generally a safe proposition. Day-old asparagus never hurt anyone (unlike, perhaps, raw salmon). So, really cheap sushi? I'm there! For dinner one night, we fed five people for about $30. That's impressively cheap! Your best vegetarian options here are from the daily specials menu via the waiter, not from the conveyor belt. Non-belt service is slow, but worth it. We had some agedashi tofu (fried tofu floating in a little bath of broth), inari (sweet tofu pouches filled with rice), and eggplant "sashimi" that were pretty tasty, albeit non-traditional. For our fish-eating friends, the conveyor belt options were a little disappointing-- we accidentally picked up salmon skin rolls about 6 times, hoping for something else. Finally, the natto gunkan (fermented tofu "battleships") completely defeated me. I just could not get past the smell... and stringiness... and the smell. However, I respect Sushi Land for having natto on the menu! I just might have some Post-Natto Traumatic Syndrome going on, but that's all part of the experience. Getting a booth for a group is really slow, and for a date night or more traditional sushi I would go elsewhere. But sometimes you just need cheap Japanese eats, and Sushi Land is ready to provide them for you, along with a small plate of natto-induced nightmares.

    I really wish I could say better things. Went on a little date here last night and the food just didn't wow me flavor-wise. I had maybe 3 plates?

    This is my favorite conveyor belt sushi place! I've tried quite a few places and love this store the most! Convenient parking, great customer service, decent price, spacious, fresh food (at least comparing to the other sushi place at the the same price... The creamy scallop gunkan at the other place has this gross smell, whereas I never had the same experience at this Sushiland location), and last but not the least - they are very generous about the unagi sauce (eel sauce) :P I like to add some unagi sauce into my soy sauce, and at most store I have to ask for it and some places even charge $1 for it.

    In town on business, ate at Genki the night before and became fascinated by the converyer belt sushi - so decided to try another one. This place was much better! All the fish I had had a very good flavor, the pieces were decent sized and they had some unique options; sockeye salmon, toro, a couple local specialties I can't remember. Their sides of calamari looked good too, but I didn't realize what it was until I was too full to eat anymore. This isn't the greatest sushi, but it was good, there was a lot of choices, they kept it fresh and I was stuffed and spent $18. Can't beat that.

    I really like this place for a variety of reasons. I am not a sushi connoisseur but I love my sushi. If you're looking for another tedious poetic waxing about the quality of sashimi, I am not the reviewer for you. Because I am not adventurous when it comes to meat eating, I often tend for vegetarian items, and this place offers quiet a variety that satisfy both me and my more adventurous dining partners. Sure, it may not be super fancy sushi, but they also don't rip you off. Most of the items that I really enjoy are only $1 compared to similar places in the area which may be as high at $3+. I'm not a cheapskate but I'm also not a sucker, and I often get irritated elsewhere when I see the cost of a veggie roll. The rolls here are tasty and judging by how packed this place is on a regular basis, I'm not the only one who agrees with this statement. Prime dinner hour usually finds this medium sized dining establishment with only a couple empty seats. Luckily, seating opens up with a reasonable wait, and if you're ordering for take away, you will rarely wait more than 10 minutes. I have always had pleasant servers who have been attentive to refilling my drink or getting my check. The chefs also take their turn monitoring the guests and making sure everyone is getting the dish they want. I would say the only downside is that the menu, while it does have pictures, can be a bit ambiguous. When I first visited I wasn't sure what was what, but soon learned how to match images with plate costs and of course, just asking someone who works there. For a staunch vegetarian though I think this will be more of a problem than most because it's not always clear what is strictly veggie. Overall, I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is venturing in to the realm of sushi because it's so affordable and a good jumping off point without getting ripped off.

    Love, love, love Sushiland! If you're penny pinching and sick of mac and cheese and top ramen then you should go do sushiland. Everything is priced per plate with prices coordinating with color. Service is good, however, it's hard to get someone when it's super busy. Everything I've had there is great! It's best to go on the off hours, like after the lunch rush or dinner rush. If you don't you'll be waiting for a little while, especially if you have a group larger than two.

    Of all the conveyer belt sushi places I've been too this is by far the best bang for your buck. Most sushi places I leave still hungry, because I don't want to put a huge dent in my bank account. This is not the case with Sushi Land, where I always leave stuffed to the brim and only spending around $20. The plates range from a $1 to $3. I find myself mostly choosing from the $1.50 and $2.00 plates as those are the California rolls, salmon and tuna nigiri. My personal favorite actually doesn't come around on the belt, so you have to order it, which is the seared salmon. If your lucky enough to be in the know they have days where everything is $1, but be prepared to wait at least 45 min to an hour. On those days I blow this place up! My personal record is 23 plates.

    I agree with other reviewers when they say you get what you pay for. Don't come here expecting out of this world sushi that you can't find anywhere else but you will find some darn tasty rolls. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm a sushi expert but I've eaten my fair share and this place isn't so bad. I normally try to stay away from conveyor belt sushi joints because the rolls are usually pretty basic and nothing is very fresh. Sushi land on the hand tasted very fresh and had quite the variety. The place was cracking and seemed very popular so the food on the belt was constantly being replaced with fresh and tasty goodies. The staff was pretty nice, the prices are VERY cheap and the location is great. I will definitely come back when I'm in the neighborhood.

    Great food, really low prices and I have never felt sick or regretted going there like I have some other cheap sushi places. The boat is long and they will take specific requests if what you want isn't circling. A good place to take a small to moderate group of friends, everyone gets what they want and however much they want, no wait time to eat so it could potentially be a quick stop. The hardest part is flagging down a waitress at the end to tally up your plates!

    I absolutely LOVE this place. I probably visit here once every 1-2 weeks...I'm pretty sure the sushi chefs and servers all know me by now :) The sushi is incredibly cheap, and you definitely get the most bang for your bucks out of all of the sushi places around Seattle. But don't let the "cheapness" fool you--the quality of fish is great. It's not the BEST, but it's good, considering you're not spending $30-40 per person. I will say this--this is probably NOT the best place for you if you like the fu-fu American sushi--deep-fried whatevers with dynamite sauce and things piled mile high. This is more of your traditional "kaiten-style" sushi you see in Japan--just plain pieces of sushi to enjoy its simple flavors. They even have natto, which is a fermented soy beans that's very popular in Japan, which you don't see at other sushi locations. One of the perks of coming here for me is their free hot green tea (goes with sushi really well) and their "ama-dare" or the unagi/eel sauce. It's syrupy, sweet soy sauce that makes sushi taste x100 better (in my opinion). The only drawback to this place is parking--be sure to look out for street signs, especially for zone parking only. Cops frequent this area, and parking can be hard to find sometimes.

    The Kaiten competition is greatly increasing in Western Washington. After this meal I noticed a new Genki Sushi right up the street. This Marinepolis location was the first Kaiten place I would frequent in Seattle. Since then I've gone to Genki in Renton a few times. When I left this place I was remorseful that I didn't know about the new Genki location up the street. So while it's good - I don't think it's the best as far as Kaiten. Personally I prefer it over Blue C (even though Blue C is tops for atmosphere) but I have to give the edge to Genki Sushi as my favorite right now. Still, if your in the area this place is good! Prices are very reasonable. I noticed that their rice doesn't really have much flavor. I prefer my sushi rice with a touch a vinegary sweetness. Here it didn't really seem flavored at all. Anyway, fast food cheap fresh sushi is always a good thing.

    I really want to like Sushi Land. I really, really do! I've probably been about 6 times. The prices are unbeatable, but I guess it comes down to the ol' "you get what you pay for" deal. I think the first 5 times I came here I was rocking a wicked hangover and blamed that for feeling like garbage after dining at Sushi Land (one time a friend actually vommed after the meal, again, we were hungover). I wish I could still blame the hangover and just keep flogging my body with the cheap sushi and adorably goofy atmosphere. Alas, we went for dinner on a weeknight (not hungover), and it was still not that great. Yeah, it's super cheap, the service is perfectly fine, and they have some interesting offerings. But the fish seems, well, fishy.... I'm sure I will still return to Sushi Land, knowing full well what I'm getting myself into. But heck, I've also been known to buy 30 packs of Keystone Light - you get what you pay for!!

    What's not to love about this rotator sushi land? The fish is always fresh, delicious, and instant! Oh and cheap! My man and I stuff our faces here at least once a week and we've never had a bill over $30. The man who runs the joint is hardcore and scary about keeping everything behind the belt clean and sanitary. I've witnessed them breaking down the back for the night and it is thorough and very sudsy. The one negative is that they are always short staffed when it comes to waitstaff. Although very friendly, they are always running around like crazy and I have no shame now in flagging them down for orders and getting my bill. For the price, however, I am totally willing to be the less classy version of my normal self when dining there. Love it.

  • Laura M.

    This review is short because Sushi Land is simply a good place to eat lots of (cheap) sushi. I really like Sushi Land! It is a good place to go to for a quick lunch, when parking is free and reasonable. My favorite rolls here are tempura shrimp, spicy tofu, and california. No fuss, no frills. Service and miso soup are good here too!

  • Nio S.

    I am really convinced that all the Sushi Land restaurants around the northwest just don't give a crap about quality and forgetting about traditional japanese sushi and so caught up in the fusion aspect of the art of making good sushi. Don't get me wrong, I love the fusion stuff but there needs to be a balance between both ends of the sushi roll. At least this place was somewhat inviting unlike the Lynnwood Sushi Land just felt like you were just there to eat and leave. I will not be coming back to this establishment...or lack there of.

    Sushi Land is my kind of place! It is a bit small, the walls are a bit scuffed up and the food is a bargain. The Wife and I stopped for dinner on the way to SIFF and the first thing I notice is that the clientele is mostly Asian. This is a very good sign! We are greeted right away and get two seats on the belt. Our drink order is taken immediately and we start grabbing plates. There were not many misses. The tempura asparagus with cream cheese roll was not a favorite of mine. The hamachi nigiri was a bit bland but the fried squid was tasty, especially with the spicy mayo squirted on. I also liked the spicy tuna roll, the fried red bean balls and the potstickers. We stuffed ourselves silly and the bill was only $32 with two beers! Amazing. Yes, service can be a bit slow. They only had three waitpeople taking care of the whole place but if you wave your hand, someone will come. I will be back. These days you need a bargain and this is it!

    Keeping it short and simple, I love this place and they're very quick to serve you a table. I went here with my aunt and it was my first time trying out sushi. It was a very nice experience :) I loved the variety it had and usually I can't eat raw food but I was able to here. I loved the prices there and it was super inexpensive (to me). Waiters were nice too and asked if you needed any help or any type of sauce you wanted.

    i love sushi, and reading through some of these reviews I was a little worried (average sushi? I don't come to Seattle for average sushi!), but I really wanted to experience the conveyor belt. I was immediately concerned that I would not be able to enjoy Columbus sushi after this experience, because apparently average sushi in Seattle would be much above average sushi in Columbus. Shocker. I second the many reviews who suggest snagging the sushi you see being prepared. This is doubly important for any of the warm foods -- the hot calamari is excellent, and some of their hot rolls are to DIE for. We had one, I don't remember it's name, that was an unagi hot roll with a spicy sauce, and it was delicious. I enjoyed everything, but I wasn't a huge fan of the tuna-salad rolls (one with a big stack of tuna salad on top of it, and one with tuna salad in the roll). An added advantage of this sort of place is that it's cheap (~8$ a person to fill UP worked for my group of 3), and it would be a nice, non-awkward place to come eat by yourself. There were several single people eating around the belt, and they didn't look out of place, which is something I always appreciate. I was in Seattle for a week, and we went twice. I enjoy "fun" food, and this certainly counts.

  • Sonia Y.

    Sushi! I looooove sushi! I'm having a hard time debating whether this is a 3 or a 4 so let's say its a 3.5! The sushi is cheap, and that's wonderful, but it's cheap because obviously the quality is just so-so. And i'm alright with that because hey, it's hard times people and sometimes we just need some cheap quick food to eat! I love the conveyour belt because it allows me to look at all the yummy pieces of sushi while i'm already eating some yummy pieces of sushi-- which makes me eat more because I like to frantically pull down all the good looking ones. The service is... a hit or a miss. Sometimes it's spot on, and I'll be able to get my check right when I want it. But sometime's i'm sitting there searching for the waitress for 10 minutes before someone looks my way. Don't ever expect a refill though unless you ask for it. ** I do have to say the calamari is my absolute favorite calamari in town (yes that includes genki). Don't know why but $1.50 calamari in a small (yet big) box is very filling and delicious.

    It's a kaiten sushi bar. You don't go to these places for high-end, quality sushi. You go to these places for a quick, easy meal. Stop complaining about not getting top-of-the-line fish because everybody who comes in here should already know what to expect. That being said, it's hard to beat $1 plates, fast service, adorable servers, and friendly sushi chefs. No frills sake nigiri on a time crunch: love.

    Oh gosh sorry but the food is awful, rice not well done and fish sometimes a bit suspicious. I am not talking about the american type sushi that gross me out with sauce and cheese and the fact that they forget stuff when ordering to take out. I went there yesterday for the last time, bad music, gross food, it does not even excuse the rather cheap price. Please do something

  • Gary W.

    Here's a place where you can eat in $1.50 increments until you can't eat any more. I have to say I'm not a sushi expert nor know what the best sushi would taste. But, there's something about sitting down and watching the sushi roll by on that conveyor belt that I like. But, really it's my addiction to the 'seared salmon'. You have to special order, but they take the salmon and then sear it with the gas torch and the taste is wonderful! Now, you have to figure out if the taste comes from the salmon or the butane! Be noted that you should go between 2-4pm because the street parking is a real pain and you'll be driving in circles looking for parking if you come at peak hours.

    My first trip at around 6pm on 04/11/10: Pros: The Wendy's of Sushi. Reasonable Variety. Reasonable Price (many $1 and $1.50 items). Service is better than McDonald's. Cons: The Wendy's of Sushi. Why, you may wonder, have I given the same statement as a Pro and a Con? Well, it's a Pro because Wendy's is consistent, inexpensive and fast; so I found Sushi Land to be. Yet it's a Con due to the Sushi -- it isn't terrible but it's also not above average to excellent. So, if you have a sushi Craving but limited time, this place is A-OK. On this trip, I had about $20 in Sushi (6 $1, 5 $1.50 and 2 $2 items). Not Notable: The tempura shrimp was the only one I regret getting. Notable: I had a plate with 3 fried balls with what I think was octopus in it surrounded by what seemed like seasoned potato that were pretty good.

    I would give it five stars if they had more variety, but this place is a gem nonetheless. I've been at least five times by now because it's within walking distance of my home and because it's the best value when eating out. The most expensive thing on the menu (to my knowledge) is $3, but most of my favorites are $1-$1.50. For $15, I leave full and happy. I can't remember eating anything here that I didn't like. The salmon nigiri is the best I can remember having anywhere, and at $1.50 for two pieces, it can't be beat. The service is generally good. They are attentive, but don't hover and don't rush you out the door, even when the place is crowded (which tends to be often). You can order anything from the sushi chefs behind the conveyor belt or from any of the servers if you don't see it on the belt or would prefer a fresh one be prepared for you. This is a great place to dine alone, as I often do. Booths are reserved for parties of 3 or more, but I'd much rather sit at the conveyor belt anyway, since it's easier to reach for what items I'd like. I love this place and heartily recommend it if you're in the area and need a quick and/or cheap bite to eat. My only complaint is that they close too early at 9pm-- I wish they were open until 10 or 11pm, especially in the summer when I tend to eat dinner later. Otherwise, this place is easily in my top five favorites in Seattle.

    5 stars. Cheap sushi = you can eat A LOT. And I'm American, so that means it's going down when I'm going out. I need to say this; all of these low starred ratings are because of ridiculous expectations. If I'm paying $1.50 for a maguro, it's obviously not going to be 5 star quality. With that said, it's still awesome. Stop being unrealistic. If you want world class sushi DON'T COME HERE. Go spend $8 for 2 pieces of sushi else where. I will enjoy eating plates upon plates of sushi here!

    Let's be clear right from the get go, Marinepolis Sushi Land is a value, kaiten style (conveyor belt) sushi restaurant, therefor it is not comparable to Maneki, Shiro or even Blue C which is also kaiten style but is seriously scrubbed up and Americanized, and for that matter good in its own right. With a restaurant in this category, it is fitting to establish a context as to how this review is based. I ate at Sushi Land for the first time last night with my son and upon entering, we were immediately and politely greeted in customary Japanese fashion with "irasshaimase" (Come In/Welcome), from the entire staff. Sadly, this is now more the exception than the rule with the influx of all of the slick, new sushi joints serving up exceedingly creative, over-sauced "newshi" rolls which may taste delicious but are far from traditional Japanese fare. Nevertheless, the greeting was refreshing! The decor is simple and understated without all the bells and whistles of some of the other conveyor belt sushi restaurants, with the exception of the belt itself. It's immediately evident that the strategy was to strip-down on unnecessary overhead in favor of the food and keeping prices minimized - fine by me. After being seated, we were promptly greeted by our server, ordering green tea (no charge), and Miso soup which was served in a slightly larger bowl than typical and was balanced and delicious with plenty of fresh tofu & seaweed, and was not overly salty. The offerings on the belt ranged from $1.00 - $3.00 per plate with a healthy selection in every plate's price point. I have to admit, the kaiten style gets a little extra love from me for the immediate gratification of the parade of colorful small-plates constantly passing before my eyes. The rolls we tried were definitely the low point of the meal but were still fairly good for the most part. The Tempura Shrimp roll was soggy and bland in flavor and would be skipped the next time around. However, the Spicy Tuna and California rolls were tasty if a bit ordinary. Surprisingly enough, the nigiri exceeded expectation. I had the Sake (Salmon - they offer both the cheaper farmed and the wild Sockeye which is .$50 more but always worth it given the choice), Hamachi (Yellowtail), Albacore tuna and the Unagi (fresh water Eel). The fish was fresh, tender, and delicious. I was not expecting that "melt in your mouth" experience from a value sushi restaurant. Lastly, I still had a tad bit of room left so I grabbed a couple of muscles in the half-shell which were warmly prepared and seasoned with a light "Kewpie mayo" style sauce on top. Again, surprisingly delicious. Sushi Land is not going to be every sushi diner's cup of tea and as much as I prefer and enjoy top-shelf quality Japanese food, I was pleasantly surprised with their commitment to excellence in service and ingredients for their particular niche. Here's the real kicker though - After eating until reasonably full, we amassed a tower of empty small-plates awaiting to be tallied for our final bill... UNDER $25 OUT THE DOOR with a smile!!! (20% tip included) We will return again! Arigato Sushi Land!

    This is pretty much the best conveyor belt sushi you're gonna find anywhere. It's even better than the Blue C and Sushiland in Tukwila. The plates are better constructed, more diverse, and the overall quality just seems better. My coworkers and I have been going here about once a week and service and food has never faltered. Sometimes the line to pay gets a little long but it always moves fast. It's one of the best options for lunch in the walking distance area it occupies along with the Thai place to the west. Best part is after you eat you can go pick up some new jams at Silver Platters right across the way!

  • Shayne P.

    My meal: an array of creamy scallops, unagi, salmon nigiri, salmon skin rolls, ahi poke, spicy tuna, and crispy calamari. "Irasshaimase" (standard greeting at any sushi restaurant, "please come in") is the first thing we hear once we step through the doors. We had a party of 4 and seated immediately in a booth (request it, because our server was going to put is right on the bar) -- I would recommend going around 11:30 or lunch time during the weekend, as the wait time is next to nothing versus 30 minutes or more for dinner. Growing up in Hawaii, I know what good sushi should taste like, and Sushi Land is close to it. Whenever you don't see a sushi you want on the conveyor belt, let the chefs know and they will make it for you then and there. The wait staff could be a little better -- our server didn't come to refill our drinks until near the end of our meal and when it came time to pay, she was a little confused as to how to ring up our orders (Why? I have no idea). I finally got my sushi fix with easily 5 or 6 plates to myself (maybe 6 or 7, but who is counting? lol), which was easy because the plates range between $1.00 to $3.00.

    CHEAP!!!!!! Granted it's not fancy rolls or the highest quality fish - but it is way better than what you can get at QFC down the street for a lot less money. I love going to nice sushi places, but when I don't have $30 to spend on dinner and I just want some basic california rolls, Sushi Land does the job. I once had 7 plates for $10.50!

    I've eaten on several occasions since I have friends who live nearby. Depending on the time of day, this place can be a hit or miss. Do not go right before closing, since this is when all the leftovers from the day are still hanging out. Eek. Big mistake on my part. However, during normal dinner hours, this place is a gem for budget sushi aficionados. It is usually pretty busy and most likely you'll have to wait for a table to open up. The sushi is not fancy by any means, you get what you pay for. My recommendation? Ask for the seared salmon. It literally melts in your mouth.

  • Rudina S.

    Sushi Land is awesome, especially this location. I've been to the ones in Bellevue, Lynnwood, and Southcenter...and by far this is the best location. The atmosphere is pleasant and open, the service is for the most part prompt (unless its super busy or you're seated in the back), and the food is great considering the price. The best things there are the tako yaki (fried octopus balls/dumplings), calamari, seared salmon, and the crunchy crab roll. For $1-3 a plate, you can definitely leave stuffed for $10. It a great place to bring a small group of friends or have a quick bite by yourself. I love sushi in general, and despite trying other places..I always come back to Sushi Land.

    Cheap and unique experience for some. Yummy calamari. And the fact that even though most people in yelp said they hated it, on Oct 09,2010 I saw a long line for Sushi Land. People were lining up even before the store open. Amazing. lol And I always see people eating at this joint. If people hated it so much, why do they still coming to this place? Give sushiland some love lol. $1 Green plate $1.50 Orange plate $2 Light Blue plate $3 Dark Blue/Purple plate + Their specials which I believe $3.50 I forgot But hey its cheappp!! and be honest. You're not eating that much anyway. :D

    This place is too much fun..one could get carried away here! It's like a Disneyland for sushi..with its colorful plates and decor. I believe the prices are $1 to $4...so cheap! Each colored plate signified the price. I They have all your typical sushi rolls and sashimi. We even ordered directly from the sushi chef when we didn't see it on the revolving belt. By the end of the meal, we each had a tower of colored plates. It was perfect for split payment. Overall, fun concept, decent quality sushi, and great prices! Check it out ;)

    This place has one thing going for it, it's cheap. It's not even that fast and this place was kind of grungy. You sit at these uncomfortable seats in front of a conveyor with small plates on it. It's packed with people and you watch the staff make the sushi, assembly line style in front of you. Depending on what time you go, only certain items are available. Maguro and hamachi weren't out at all when we were there and we had to ask for it. Taste wise, it was okay. You could tell some of the fish were of a lesser grade, but it was okay. I can't believe there were some people dressed up and on dates at this place! I guess I'm a snob, I'm not a fan of these conveyor places.

  • Lisa T.

    I always know what to expect when I go here. Low quality sushi at a great price. If you're looking for a place to have rolls at a decent price then this is the place for you. I went here with a friend to snack on some sushi at around 9 pm. It was great because I only spent $5 on a tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, and calamari. Definitely enough to make me full for the time being. This is not the place to go to throughly enjoy your meal because the quality is just not there, but you are getting what you paid for. The only problem can be parking!

    Sushi Land is mediocre Sushi. However hop a state over and you're looking at a 3 star Sushi restaurant... With that said, us coast dwellers are of the spoiled variety. Were blessed with some of the worlds best fresh fish and we bark at anything that dosent flop on our plate while we eat it. However, I have on many occasion see them slice up a fresh fish right infront of me. I love Sushi Land for what it is. inexpensive, fast, fun and filling. My favs are seared shrimp, tapo yaki , spicy asparagus, salmon with mayo and onions and the house special... Order this whole meal and you're looking at a 9 bucks meal and be stuffed to the brim!

  • Jennifer C.

    Two stars on Yelp means, "I've experienced better" and in the case of SushiLand I've experienced better a stone's throw away. I wish I could review SushiLand solely on its own merits, but I can't overlook the fact that it is one of two inexpensive kaiten conveyor belt sushi places located in a two-block radius in Lower Queen Anne, Genki being the competition. For me, SushiLand just doesn't rise up to Genki's level. The quality seems slightly lower, the ambience is definitely nothing special, and with Genki's plates priced at $2 SushiLand proves slightly more expensive for me (though admittedly, we're talking a $2 per meal difference...when you get down to it, both places are CHEAP!). To be clear, SushiLand isn't bad, it just isn't my favorite of the two nearby options. I wouldn't steer anyone away, I'd just encourage them to first consider Genki for kaiten sushi needs.

    Please refer to my review on Genki Sushi and strip out "Clean" and "Japanese Themed". And then add "Awe, hell no . . . not even if I was dirt poor". I know it may sound harsh, and you may love to eat sushi this way, and that is fine. No judgement here. And hey, I know people love eating here because it is packed all the time. This is very personal to me and I'm sorry . . . I just can't do it like this.

    Service is always great because you get seated and serve yourself or even if you order from the chef, it's always fast and they never forget your order.. There's really nothing impressive about their sushi, it's just cheap, great, quick sushi and this is the true sushi experience you get in Asia.. Sushi is not supposed to be fussy, but an everyday experience for most.. They are ALWAYS out of their chocolate cream puffs, SIGH!! They're my favorite dessert.. And the deep fried octopus or squid or whatever those tentacles are in that little box is delicious.. I don't know what they are but I'm not dead yet so it's great, right? I've watched the chefs slice up whole salmon and mackerels, so I definitely know the fish is fresh.. Absolutely enjoyable experience for the price..

    Two of three times I've eaten at Sushi Land, someone has gotten sick. The first time we ate there was their re-opening (after a fire, I believe). It was fine - low price and similar to grocery-store sushi. Second time, my husband threw up as we were getting home from the restaurant. Nothing tasted weird to me so we wrote it off as something else. Last time we ate there my son got sick immediately after. That was the last time we'll ever go there. Go to Blue C in Fremont - they have delicious sushi, a large selection on the cool conveyor belt, a nicer restaurant, nicer staff, similar pricing and nobody in my family has ever barfed after eating there!

    First time with conveyer belt sushi, first time at Sushiland. If you take it for what it is; Sushi style fast food, its pretty decent but if you compare it to a real sushi restaurant,, it gets smoked. Sushi was decent tasting and very reasonably priced. I asked the waitress for Salmon Skin roll 3 different times but it never happened so you have to believe only in the conveyer belt. One big tip,,, don't let them seat you at the end of the conveyer belt. You get to choose what no one else wants.

    Sushiland is my cheap sushi fix. The sushi is fresher and the establishment less pretentious than Blue C. BUT! Still has a conveyor belt if you're into that kind of thing. I think it's fun to watch the munchies float by and pluck out what I want. But what do I want? Three pieces of a california roll? Two salmon nigiri? Tako balls? Tobiko battleship roll? How about all of them since they are $1.50 each! The place is clean, the service is fine, the nomming prep goes on in full view right in the middle of the conveyor belt, and the prices just can't be beat. Sure, I wouldn't eat everything that goes by (a roll with canned tuna salad? Heresy) but all the typical stuff like bbq eel, spicy tuna roll, shrimp nigiri is here and in good shape.

    I have only been to Sushi Land once, but it was a very positive experience. This is a MUCH cheaper option than going to Blue C Sushi in Seattle and the quality is just as good. My favorite item was the salmon skin rolls. They were salty and crunchy; perfect in taste and texture. I went around 6pm on a Friday night and it was pretty busy, so I would suggest calling ahead and making reservations.

    I come here almost every weekend, and the sushi is consistently wonderful! This has been my favorite kaiten sushi restaurant for a long time now. I've tried other kaiten sushi bars and this place blows all of the others away. Lots of seating, friendly faces, great service and plenty of it! I recommend the $1.50 calamari (very filling), $1 house special rolls (3 per plate!) $1 miso soup (hot and pleasing), takoyaki (squid dumplings), seared salmon nigiri (my favorite) and their $1 crab sticks! But really, it's hard to find anything unsatisfying there, and you can't beat the price! Plenty of variety. Most dishes cost only $1-2, with only a few at $3. It tastes just as good as a lot of fancier, overpriced sushi restaurants I've been to. You'll leave with your belly stuffed and happy for about $8-12. I love the free parking! *** TIPS: If you're with a group of 4+ people, call ahead and ask for a booth. If they're super busy, don't order everything off of the specials menu. You don't have to wait for your favorite dishes to come around on the belt, just grab any waitress and she'll take your orders fast! Instead of ordering the $2 spicy tuna rolls, order the $1.50 (regular) tuna rolls and ask them to put some of their orange-colored spicy sauce on the side. Try the sweet sauce on some of your rolls. Mix some wasabi and/or ginger into your soy sauce for a little added flavor (they don't add it to the nigiri themselves). There is almost always a free parking spot on the side of the road, and on Sundays, underground parking is free at the QFC just down the road (the Genki Sushi bar in the QFC building is terrible and overpriced, don't bother trying it).

    Nothing amazing. Mexicans making your sushi, and they do a decent job of it. I've had fresher sushi, but if I'm desperate for cheap sushi and I'm in Queen Anne, this is where to go.

  • Vicky J.

    Not the best sushi I've had, and not even close to the worst sushi I've had. I like it because it's within walking distance to me, it's priced well (except if I had my way, all the plates would be $1.50), and the sushi itself is pretty good. I always feel awkward when chefs are standing right in front of me, making their food, but these guys won't talk to you unless you talk to them first. But don't take that the wrong way, they are all really friendly, and so are the waiters. If something isn't coming out on the belt, you can always ask for it to be made, and they'll get it to you rather quickly. I suggest going after 2 p.m., or at least not right when it opens up. There's a better selection later in the day.

    Pretty decent robot sushi. The cuts are as thick as you'd expect with robot sushi. It's clean, cheap, and usually pretty fresh. When you're looking for decent fast-food sushi, this is a pretty good pick for it.

    Since its been reviews exhaustively lets bullet point: PROS: - Cheap - Free street parking right next to the building - not bad sushi -attentive staff - large menu CONS: - Ambiance isn't as cool as it could be; lost potential especially by comparison to similar style restaurants. - Not the best sushi either - Conveyor belt is placed a bit high - Number of items from the menu actually on the belt at any particular time is limited* NICE TOUCH: - Prices of plates are silkscreened on the plates themselves, making for easy tracking. * you can request specific items, but still.

    First of all, as many other reviewers have already noted, this is NOT the place for the most amazing gourmet sushi this side of Tokyo. However, for the price (I'm talking $1-4 per plate), it gets the sushi-craving-satiation job done. I get sushi cravings, and I get them a lot, so trips to Benihana or even Blue C aren't always an option for my starving art student self. I also like the fact that it's one of the few conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Seattle, because conveyor belts are fun and I would definitely be willing to put up with merely good quality. Besides, where else can you gorge yourself on cheap sushi to the sounds of the cheesiest Top 40 you could imagine?

  • Florencia K.

    This is definely the place to eat when I don't have any idea what should I eat for dinner. Oh ya one more,I will definetly go there when my pocket is drying. You can get 5 plates of sushi only for 10 dollar or even less. I love the seared salmon. Definetly the best seared salmon in town. Don't forget to ask for the spici mayo. One bad thing is they may don't have enough variation if you go there at 9 pm and above.

  • Olga P.

    HORRIFIC sushi. It is so low quality that I literally had two plates that I didnt even finish and left. The tuna looked like it had been eaten and spat back out and they made a roll out of it. Tasted absolutely atrocious. I have never been to such an awful sushi restaurant and have never been so disgusted in my life. If you truly like sushi and prefer quality over quantity there are other cheap sushi places much, much better than this. Sushi is raw fish and has to be reasonably fresh for eating and this place either uses very, very old fish or freezes it to death before serving. It tasted like garbage and looked even worse.

  • Tillotson G.

    Admittedly; I eat here about once a week. I will never forget my first time in here, upon entry you are greeted like a slap in the face the smell of - well fish. And not good fish. Which is almost enough to make you turn around. But you don't cause you just worked out and your really freaking hungry. My first time ever at a 'conveyor belt' sushi, which I thought would kill me from bacteria. Thoughts of how many people have sneezed on the edemame I was eating crossed my mind at least 6 times. But no - I am fully alive and go back weekly. This is not a place to take a date, or your parents who just flew in from Texas. This is not a place to take kids or your boss. This is a place to drag your friend's to cause you are broke and want sushi, or you just got done working out and sweaty and need to eat carbs and protein. This is a place to come hungry with little expectations. Then and only then you will be pleasantly surprised.

    It is what it is... simple, goes around, you pick up and then eat. It's cheap, it's packed with people - why are there so many people - who cares what the hell Yelp says. Some busy ass places have shitty reviews but are quite busy. This place is cheap and good. What more is there to say? Simple, fast and quick and cheap - did I say cheap???

  • Sarah B.

    Zoom, zoom, zoom goes the sushi! How perfectly ghetto. Truly there is great beauty watching pieces of raw fish wander around the dining room on a little belt. It's mesmerizing. The novelty probably wears off for normal people. But for me, I could be there all day smiling like an idiot. "Food goes round belt, huc huc huc" *drool* You take a dish off the belt, eat it, wonder exactly what that was you just ate and repeat. The quality isn't there. If you want your fancy sushi, look elsewhere. Needless to say, I wasn't sure I would eat anything raw here. But there were plenty of other choices to choose from. The variety was great when we went. Crunchy, creamy, sweet and tangy were all there. Even little dessert eclairs and tarts wandered around. It's definitely a hedonist playland.

    I love Sushiland! Although it isn't the best sushi around, it is definitely one of the restaurants I go to time and time again. My out of state visitors love it and one friend who visits me every year insists we go to it every time he's here. It's just reliable and comfortable and unique.

  • steve c.

    As Mitzie says, it's conveyor belt sushi, what do you expect? Well, let me tell you what I expect. I expect food that tastes decent and fresh. I expect them to serve sushi pieces that are on the placard. I think you know where this review is going, don't you? It's not that I hate this place; I just won't go back here again. It felt like a high school cafeteria and the sushi tasted like something I might get at a H.S. cafeteria? Why? I'm not sure; it wasn't that the sushi chefs were sloppy, although one dude was torching the hell out of the fish and it made the rice taste burned. Service wise, there's not much of it-sure the chefs will make what you want, but aside from them, I found the service to be fairly nonexistent (in a not so good way). To be fair, Sushiland deserves about 2.6 stars........I just have to round down, though. Sorry, Charlie!

  • Jesse H.

    I probably come here at least 2x a week to get my sushi fix. Can't beat their prices, with the most expensive plate being only $4. My favorite dishes are the seared salmon, spicy tuna, and philadelphia rolls. Dip, or better yet, immerse the roll in their spicy sauce for a tasty combination. Also, the house special roll is a great filler. Don't forget to get a fresh order of calamari to complete your entire meal. One thing I don't like is the amount of bleach they use to wipe down the tables. Sometimes it's so over-powering that you get light headed. Overall, out of all the Sushi Lands I've been in Washington (Redmond, Bellevue, & Alderwood), the chefs cut the rolls in generous portions and I believe it's much tastier too.

    This location of the Marinepolis chain is pretty similar to the others. The food isn't terribly delicious, and the staff are generally clueless. I find myself trying to think of reasons NOT to go to Marinepolis when my friends and I are in the area. The parking situation isn't that great, since you have to find your own street parking. Did you know that if you order the food to go, they charge you per container in which they pack the items? Yes. Seriously. They charge you for the little plastic containers which hold the sushi. I felt pretty offended that they did this, so I asked them if they would just put the sushi in one of their free plastic bags. They said no. I stopped eating at this location. Frankly, I believe that its the first time a restaurant has charged me for the container. They charge the same price for the fish/rice as if you were sitting there occupying restaurant space, and then they charge for the container on top of the charge for the fish/rice. The nerve.

    After exploring some of the cheaper Sushi selections in Seattle, I've found that Sushi Land just doesn't stack up to the rest of the crowd. As noted by the other reviewers, although the food is cheap, chances are you will get sick from eating here. Besides food poisoning, the service was friendly and rather quick. If your looking for a quick Sushi fix I would suggest going to "Blue C " or "I Love Sushi" instead. Keep in mind though ILS isn't conveyor style.

  • AJ R.

    Me and my girlfriend are big sushi fans, but love coming somewhere with decent prices. Sushiland gives you an easy sushi solution that's pretty easy on the wallet. pros: - Free hot tea with your dinner -$1-$3 plates (cheap dinner for the most part) - Yummy calimari - Chefs are quick to make special orders of sushi. (Requesting the order is the best there, and you know your getting fresh stuff!) - Love the seared tuna, and seared salmon dishes! cons: - Not many options, on the conveyor belt you might see maybe 7 different sushi items max go by. - Many items have been raised to the $3 dollar menu few months ago. This is very apparent when you look at the menu at every seat, and see all these delicious $2 sushi, and you order them, and they all come on $3 plates. - Taste wise, not the best, but still good enough to keep me coming back. - Waitress forgot to bring me tea like 3 times, but I don't really judge harsh on that, she could have been new or overwhelmed at that moment. - always busy at late lunch/dinner time. But the wait isn't that bad. Sushi land isn't the best sushi, but it is good, and was the cheapest. I rate it a 3 star, not because the sushi, but for the raise in prices. If they were serving the same sushi at the original prices, it would a 4....mayyyyybe a 5 just because of the value. But with popularity the prices slowly go up to $3 for all the good dishes, and I feel I can get a little better sushi for about equal or tiny bit more cost now. So the value is not quite the same. Much better value than blue c sushi, but nothing special since its not the best valued sushi in town anymore.

    I love this place because it is what it is - a great place to sit down, grab some well-priced sushi and nosh to your heart's content! It's like the Denny's of sushi; you don't go for the ambiance, plating or artful presentation, you go for some seriously good grub in large quantities for a price that really can't be beat. That reminds me, it's been too long since I've been back! See you there...

    I love conveyor belt sushi, but this is not my favorite. I have a hard time choosing as a vegetarian as nothing is labeled. I do enjoy their cheap prices though, I think my whole meal usually comes to 6$ pretax. My friend gets away even cheaper. I enjoy the miso, I love the edamame, all you can eat ginger and wasabi always make me happy. However having to ask for the items you need since they never come along the conveyor belt can be difficult especially with the servers running all over the place helping other customers. I dont seek it out, but go there with friends as asked, I prefer the other chain conveyor belt sushi.

  • Aaron E.

    What does one conceivably eat for a late dinner after spending all day drinking? SUSHI! Duh. Sushi that goes around on a conveyor belt nonetheless. Does sushi get motion sick going around in circles? I know if I were a piece of sushi on a conveyor belt I would feel way nauseous. And if I were a nauseous piece of sushi and I were eaten would I make the eater nauseous too? Yes, I do think of things like this. Sad, I know. It was an epic day of barhopping at Seattle's finest and most expensive bars, eating an excessive amount of appetizers at every single establishment, sneaking in underagers (shh) and being excessively happy and loud and as the night wound down and we decided staying in and drinking was a good idea, but not before a quick, cheap, sushi dinner. Sushi Land was definitely cheap and sushi, but not so much quick. The wait was pretty heinous.... After waiting for a table for what seemed like hours we were finally seated. Woot. Where's the menu? What? You don't have one? Where's the cocktail list? What? You don't have one. Over the course of the night our "server" said "We don't have that" to everything I asked. Me: "Where's the restroom?" Her: "We don't have one?" Me: "Do you have a full bar?" Her: "We don't have one" Me: "Do I have anything stuck in my teeth?" Her: "We don't have one" Towards the end of the night I was beginning to think that either she didn't speak English, or equally likely that I was slurring my words so much I made negative sense. Either way, I got by without having any sort of assistance from our server. I sat at the end of the booth, farthest away from the conveyor belt. What I ate remains a mystery to me, but I know it was all decent, lukewarm, moderately crispy and fried. There was some Vegetable Tempura of some kind, fish of some kind and rice. I received pretty much what my friends gave me... scary that I put so much faith into them. Hehehe. Seriously though, the food was all just okay. All of the fish tasted the exact same as did all of the veggie dishes. I have to say I've never had such generic tasting food. The food had flavor, it just all tasted the same. On the plus side, my bill was $8. Bwahahaha. I ate enough sushi to soak up some of the booze and I left full and happy. I can't say I'll be suggesting this place anytime soon, but if some friends feel like hitting up this joint I'll probably tag along. I've had better, but I've had worse... but for $8 I ain't complaining.

    This is the first Sushiland I've ever been to, I've been going to this one off and on for about 6 years, and so far, this is the best one as far as service and good sushi. Tukwila has been my destination simply because we're in the area more often, but Tukwila's service makes me RAGE. After ordering what you want if you don't see it on the kaiten, it comes out pretty fast. Drinks are refilled faster, overall just a better experience compared to the other Sushilands that I've been to. Calamari was well seasoned too, it wasn't overly salty or had too much batter, like other Sushilands I've been to, either. Some rolls are a bit smaller, but who cares really? It's cheap.

  • Janet J.

    Yes, Sushi snobs, do turn away. You will be sorely disappointed with this place. It is everything fine sushi isn't. If you are used to eating sushi in San Francisco or Hawaii cross the street, walk a block and land at Genki Sushi. Sushi Land's main strength is that it serves $1 plates of sushi that is on the same level as Costco or Safeway. In other words, it's disgusting. The pieces are large so northwesterners love that. The presentation is sloppy, the ingredients not so fresh and the flavors are overbearing and uncomplimentary. The plate covers on the conveyor belt are broken and look dirty. This is a restaurant for people who don't know what real sushi is supposed to taste like. Real foodies know that good sushi is not an "acquired taste." Places like Sushi Land are the reason why some people think they don't like sushi. Another issue about Sushi Land is the bright hospital style flood lights and McDonald's type table seating and awkward bar seating with its bird's eye view of the grease vats behind the curtains. It's the worst place to go on a date. However, if you think Dick's makes the best hamburger and shakes in the city, you'll love Sushi Land.

  • Thyda S.

    I remember this place a loooong time ago, probably 7 years ago when I first discovered it. I finally went back the other day and was simply disappointed. There was a sign saying that they reduced the prices (YAY)... but the selection wasn't as big as I remember it to be. (I don't know if it makes a different, but I did go during lunch time rather than dinner) The rolls seem a lot smaller than before and smaller than the Sushiland in Tukwila. My friend and I looked forward to the baked mussel and you would think that they'd taste fresh since we were there only 45 minutes after they opened for the day, but nope. The cheese/sauce thing that they had over it was sort of sour and the mussel was dry and seemed a bit... old. If you want cheap sushi, this would be it. If you want GOOD sushi, I don't recommend.

    Look, it's cheap sushi. If that's what you're looking for, this is as good a place as any, but don't come in thinking you're going to find anything of particularly good quality. Still, it's hard to argue with the prices, when you hardly ever see a plate that costs more than $2, and often they're either $1 or $1.50 (just to be clear, a plate tends to have 2 pieces of nigiri or four pieces of a roll). You can actually fill yourself up pretty effectively for between $10-$12. There's also your generic Ozeki-brand sake which is pretty cheap as well if you want to add that to your meal. The selection was pretty decent, although they tended to make their food in batches - for example, I saw them putting together about twenty plates of unagi (eel) at once. It's not really a problem, though, because if you don't see what you're looking for, you're welcome to just ask someone, and you'll have it brought to you in a couple of minutes. Overall, I can't really go beyond three stars because again, the food is just mediocre, but still, I'll be back the next time I want sushi on the cheap.

    Very mediocre. Setting is rundown, sushi is not great quality. Most of the guys making the sushi are speaking spanish. Seats are too low, or belt is too high, it's tough to tell what's under the cover. Ok in a lunch pinch I guess, but I won't be going back.

    Me: What do you want for diner? He: Sushi And this is what we'd eat every night if he had his druthers. So, we don't go every night. BUT, we do eat sushi fairly often and the Queen Anne Marinepolis is one of our most often stops. Why? It's cheap. It's convenient . And, most of the time, it's quick. Is it the greatest sushi in the world/? No. But, it's far from the worst. And, for the price you're paying, it's quite the deal. I disagree with the reviewers who totally dissed the service. My experience has been they make the best of a not so great deal. Service is not always as quick as it might be. But that is because at any given moment, the servers are being pulled in five different directions. Overall, I have found service to be friendly and polite and efficient. I had to laugh because, according to Yelp, at the time of this writing, 34 people have rated this place as being "good for groups," but, unless your group is four people or less, it really is not. There are a few booths, but if you don't manage to snag one of them, it's all counter seating which is not really conducive to large group outings. BUT, the last time we were in there, there was a group of 34 people who totally took over the place. [So, I'm thinking it was these exact 34 people who went up and rated it as being good for groups.] So, that night we did have to wait. BUT, the clearly overwhelmed staff did their best to keep thing moving forward and running as smoothly as possible that night. My only gripes: For reasons that can only mean they are playing a cruel trick on me, they have stopped serving red wine. And, the single stall bathrooms mean a longer wait than my bladder would sometimes like. BUT, these are minor. We are still fans. We will be back. [Note to Marinepolis: But, we'd be even bigger fans if you brought back the wine.]

    This place is a total dive and the one time I went in there I had a Spider Roll that was so fishy tasting I couldn't even swallow it. I had to spit it into my napkin right there in front of everyone which was pretty embarrassing. Yes its cheap and fast but at what point do you sacrifice your health and dignity? BAD SUSHI!

    I love this place! It's perfect for your basic sushi needs, full of variety that is fresh and delicious. The fish is cut nicely, the staff is ready to custom make any requests and the prices are more than reasonable.

    The prices really can't be beat, but other then that it doesn't have a lot going for it. The quality of the sushi is average to below average, but the amount of choices is nice. It can be a little difficult at times to know what your getting and the sushi maps are not very helpful. The service is OK but not very friendly. It took a lot of waving to get our servers attention in order to get our bill. I've been twice. Once at night and once in the middle of the day and both times I've had to wait for a seat at the conveyor belt. To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about this place. Part of my loves the cheap food, but I'm not sure if it makes up for all the other deficits.

  • Kelli D.

    I'm not really a sushi fanatic so I will not rate the quality of sushi but for the most part, I've had good experiences with customer service, getting something if I requested it (though it does take longer than it use too). The prices are nice. Good, convenient, cheap, and fulfilling.

    This place is a must-go for anyone who loves sushi. If you're looking for the highest quality and spotless, sterile quarters, you're not going to find it here. This is a working-man's (and woman) place. With plates ranging from $1 to $3, you can decide just how much you're going to eat and how much you're going to pay. What I love is that they have takoyaki, or octopus dumplings, that few restaurants outside of Japan have. These are only $1.50. I think the key to getting the best out of this restaurant is knowing that if you don't see it on the conveyor belt, ask the waiter to order it for you and the chef will bring it to your place. My main complaint is their desserts (or lack thereof). Not only are they expensive, but they are limited in choices. If you have saved room for dessert, I suggest you go somewhere else. In the end, it all comes down to great selection, great food, and cheap prices, which to me is a big 5. Make sure you go! You won't be disappointed!!! Oh, and a side note, they also make cheap and delicious party platters. A platter with 40 pieces of sushi is only $30.

  • Courtnee P.

    What can I say, this place is a staple in my life. The decor resembles a laundromat or perhaps an upscale 99c store. The food is sorta scary looking but I've never once had a problem digesting it. The selection is somewhat sparse and they have some weird ass stuff featured on the belt every time I go, like that damn corn salad stuff drenched in mayo. Who EATS that? It's mid-grade sushi I am generally full on $10 of and I've never died from eating here. In short? Thanks, sushiland. *heart* yoooou.

    Oh Marinepolis.... Thou art so cheap but thine fruits bear only sickness and nostalgia that takes me back to my first school cafeteria experience... But then what can you expect when someone stands with a blowtorch firing the hell out of your sushi? If you do decide to come here, stick with the california rolls & the spicy tuna rolls as well as other specialty items. Do NOT get the sashimi though as you will be sick within seconds and there will be no one in sight to offer you water... T_T

    One of my favorite quick eats around Seattle. Everything is freshly made, there is a lot of customer flow, so food stays warm. Noisy, crowded, and not very pretty, but fast, cheap, and delicious, such a great place to go when I don't feel like cooking.

    This place used to be a favorite lunch spot of mine. Usually found street parking with no problem. Staff was always friendly and the food was good, so good it was easy to over eat and leave beyond full.

    I ordered ikura (salmon roe) in Japanese and the waitress had to ask what that was. Then when it came I got a salmon roll. You'd think at a sushi bar they'd know the Japanese names for the food they're selling

    Cheap, fast, Sushi. Feel like your getting a steal the first time, but there is a catch. Long lines, hard to find parking, sushi made by inconsistent Mexican. Don't get me wrong i love my Chulupas, and I'm a firm believer that you can teach an old dog new tricks. But consistency is key. Service = OK to bad Ambiance = extincted Food = OK to good at times for the price Crowd = Usually younger Personal Favorite = cheap miso and sake! Worst = inconsistency Meal for two = 30 Final Say = If it takes you more then 10 min to find parking to elsewhere!

    The WORST sushi anywhere, ever. Just because it's conveyor belt sushi doesn't mean you can't have any expectations. It's just not good, period, regardless of the price. Oftentimes in life, you get what you pay for, and that is clearly the case here. The price is the only thing this place has going for it, but that isn't nearly enough to convince me to waste my time with this place. I don't speak Spanish either, so it's nearly impossible to ask any questions about what a certain plate contains, or to place any kind of special order. To be quite frank, I'd rather get the sushi you find in the refrigerated cases at the grocery store, than eat here again.

    Sushi on a conveyor belt you say? Cheap prices you say? Well... nothing TOO special, I say. Don't get me wrong-- if you're really hungry and just want a sushi fix, this place does it for sure. But it gets docked down for quality. And there are lots of places similarly priced in LA with better quality sushi, so I really expected more from Sushiland. It was fresh enough, and I'd probably go back. But I guess you need to shell out more money for better sushi around here. Do you have to put mayo on everything? Wish I could give an extra half-star for one of the cute servers. But that would be wrong.

    Five stars for pure cheapness. Unprecedented Seattle sushi cheapness. They have some seriously nasty food here, but the price can not be beat. I had some salmon and tuna nigiri and some fried octopus, like five plates of it, for under $9. Insanity. Some tips to avoid dying here: * Watch what they're making, and eat that. * Avoid the $1 plates. I don't think if room temperature tuna whipped up with mayo and put in a seaweed wrapper is something I want to eat. * Ask them to make something special for you. It'll still be cheap. Tea is also complementary, so drink up. This is sushi paradise if you can navigate the old stuff correctly. Instead of the deadly pufferfish, it's the weapons of gastro destruction in the form of a 5 hour old tuna roll.

  • Chris B.

    Well I'm not gonna do what SOME others here did (Dave C., Jeremy C.) and give Sushiland a ridiculous 5 stars while panning the new guy on the block down the street -- Genki Sushi, with a mere 1 star. One of you even wrote a review for SOMEONE ELSE? Please. These, and other reviews at Genki Sushi sound suspiciously like plugs for Sushiland by their friends while plastering the newbie, which is so uncool to me, especially when clearly the sushi (not necessarily the service) at Genki is a step up from Sushiland. But whatever, I guess if you have to have your friends stoop so low as to try to kick down the new competitor because the ratings at Sushiland are not exactly... um stellar, well, we regular people do see through that bullshit, my friends. Matt R. rated Sushiland 4 stars, and Genki Sushi 1 star because he had a legitimately bad experience -- so Matt, you are not who I am talking to here. Shame on you others who will lie just because you want Sushiland on top. Anyway, Genki has some problems, no doubt, especially when it comes to coordinating service. But their sushi is definitely a step up from Sushiland. Sushiland is a great place -- I really do like going here. It fills me up with decent sushi for cheap. It is the McDonald's of sushi. And Genki Sushi is a little more expensive, with higher quality plates -- it is, say the Denny's of sushi. Neither are Metropolitan Grille's of sushi by ANY stretch. Sometimes Sushiland service also leaves a lot to be desired (because it is so darned busy most of the time, and the girls who work there really do as well as they can). But if you need anything when it's busy, it takes a while to get someone's attention there. At least at Genki, you have 5 people at your call. True, they are not coordinating that service well (maybe just ONE server per customer?), but they ARE new, so give it a chance. I guess I just don't like the ethic behind panning a place just because you prefer your favorite. That's all. Unlike you, I am being honest and unbiased in my reviews. If I can't be, I won't write a review at all. Just my two bites, for what it's worth. But still, if you are considering Sushiland, walk one block up to the Genki Sushi in the QFC building, and I think you will find a more grown-up version of sushi at just a little bit higher of a price. For the finer surroundings and better sushi, it's well worth it. PROS: Fun, easy place to eat lots of ok sushi for cheap. CONS: Sushiland fans panned the new Genki sushi a block away at the QFC building, even though Genki has higher quality sushi.

    The salmon nigiri is so fatty it tastes like butter. Who doesn't like butter? They're $1.50, so load up. If there aren't any on the belt, ask for one. And for god's sake, be a purist. Don't sear it and put mayo on it. Keep it simple: raw, beautiful, fatty salmon on rice. The yellowtail is clean and fresh, and tastes delicious. Sushi land is my version of heaven. Simple tastes, done right, and at a great price. Who's hungry?

  • Teresa C.

    Decent sushi that goes around on a conveyor belt, so you pick up the plates you want. Prices are low and service is minimal, so it's a good place to go if you are craving quick sushi and don't want to spend a lot of money.

  • Rachid G.

    It is what it is. Cheap conveyor belt sushi. They had some pretty good rolls. Fish itself was pretty mediocre, but also cheap ($1-3 a plate), so you should know what to expect. The rice also wasn't the best...kinda plastic-y.

    I work near the Sushiland in Redmond and have always had a great experience there. I was hoping the one in Queen Anne would be the same. No such luck. When you walk in the first thing you notice is the light. This place is terribly lit with an overwhelming amount of florescent lights. You feel like you are in some cold war era Russian administrative building. Once you get past the retina burning, ear-ringing hum of the lights you may actually get some service. The staff didn't seem too bad, just a little incoherent. I did have one really strange thing happen though. After we were seated the waitress crept up behind me ninja like and damn near whispered in my ear "would you like some water?". I was a little creeped but resisted the temptation the bust out my own ninja moves and wreck the place. She got lucky. The sushi was all warm, which I had never experienced before. It's sort of like soggy cereal; sure it's still Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but it just doesn't taste the same. Most of the sushi that was out had actually wilted. I did not know this was even possible. I got tired of the stuff on the conveyor belts so I ordered some tuna sashimi that was cold and actually tasted fresh. It was too little too late though. Unless this place becomes the first nude sushi bar in my neighborhood I will never return.

    Cheap, Quick, Easy, and they serve Beer. 4 Stars. I've eaten here quite a few times over the last 12 months, and always enjoyed it. Yea, its cheap! I had dinner one time for $6 and was FULL! I get basic stuff and have never had a problem. I'm not looking for anything amazing, but dinner, on the go, on a budget. As compared to Genki, its more causal, but also cheaper. I don't think Genki has found its niche yet. They tried to be a "step up" from Sushiland (Denny's compared to McD) but I'm not sure they can afford to do that with their prices so cheap. Sushiland has that corner kicked.

  • Michael F.

    Moderately priced, reasonably good sushi. Know what you want and don't see it? Place an order and it's yours. This is NOT a big night out type place. It is perfect for a lunch, a quick bite for dinner. Their deep fried calamari is the best in town. I think the Space Needle Roll is a big mess. The salmon nigri is really good. A couple of the sushi chefs (most especially the raw fish chef) have personalities. Minimal service, minimal pricing. You get just exactly what you pay for and it is worth every penny.

  • Rossana Y.

    Good place to eat sushi if you're on a budget. It's probably not the best sushi, but it's good when you're hungry. I used to think this place was really good when I was in high school, but now I think it's just ok...or perhaps my taste has become more refined. It's fun to eat here because you get to pick out the different plates of sushi from the conveyor belt, and each plate has a certain price on it depending the type of sushi you're getting. It ranges from $1-3 per plate. You can also make custom orders from the people who are making the sushi right in front of you. (I like to order the seared salmon.) The place is clean and the service is ok. One thing's for sure is that it's wayyyy better than Todai where I'm not paying $25 for a sushi dinner. I tend to eat a lot and I'm usually satisfied after $10-11 worth of sushi from eating here.

    Went to sushi land today after dreaming about it last night. I was so in the mood for sushi, so I knew that I had to try something affordable and good to satisfy my stomach. I don't get why Sushi Land does not have a higher rating?? Men ! it is delish and cheap. I paid around $40 for 2 people. I have tried I LOVE SUSHI in Bellevue and Blue C in Alderwood. QUALITY? I would give 5/10 for BLUE C, 7/10 for SUSHI LAND and 8/10 for I LOVE SUSHI. Talk about the price? SUSHI LAND is the best....and people need to appreciate this more. So anyone who have not tried SUSHI LAND? Give it a try, you may like it, you may not, but the important thing is you don't have to pay a fortune at the end of your satisfied stomach. I was so happy afterward, I can't even tell you.

    I'm a fan of the Sushiland chain in general. For conveyor belt sushi, the price cannot be beat. This location is good for a cheap sushi experience and I felt safe consuming the food. I can't say the same about some sushi places, or even the Sushiland in Redmond. Beyond that, the service was fast and the food tasted good. Even the hot items coming along the belt were still hot, which was nice.

  • Jac J.

    My friends and I were craving some sushi during this heat wave and we find ourself at Sushi land in Queenanne. Prices are comparable to other conveyer belt sushi joints, however with sushi, we need a cool area where our cold fish can swim into our bellies. Negatives: Lack of air conditions, service slow and inconsistent. Had to ask three times for low sodium soy sauce.... :( Positives: Must try the Hamachi and deep fried eel roe.

    If U like Sushi, then U will think that U are in SUSHI HEAVEN if U come here. I don't know any other restaurants were U sit down at a table and food just keeps coming to U on a CONVEYOR BELT. BEST sushi prices I have ever seen in my life ! The plates are different colors so U will know if the plate is $1-$4. On your table is a lamenated sheet that shows U what cost what by the color of the plate and theres another sheet that list all the seafood that will be strollin by your table so U will know what it is (thanks 4 that...whew). A PRETTY COOL EXPERIENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just think this place is so much fun. It's all about the conveyor belt. Have I had better sushi? Yes. The food itself isn't all that great or inventive, but it's always a fun time. All these little plates of sushi rolling by you, temping you to try things you never would have otherwise, and why not? Even if it's bad, you're only our a buck or two, but it's rare we've gone wrong. It's fun to watch people making sushi and see what other people are ordering. This is how we discovered seared salmon, which is about as much fun to eat as it is to watch them make as they take an industrial-sided blowtorch to a tray of sushi. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can even watch them cut up a whole fish. This is one of the reasons I like coming here more than blue C (the other conveyor belt place in town), plus, it's less than 1/2 the price, we usually spend about $10 a person. And although it's nice every once in a while to go to a nice place for good sushi and order a roll or two, this give you more variety in your dinner for less money so you can have sushi any night of the week. You should try to go when the place is busy though, then they make more different types of sushi and you know it's fresh because nothing stays on the conveyor belt long. Good bets: Spider roll, seared salmon, baked green-lip mussels, California roll, yellowfin, fried squid. Their tea is also surprisingly good.

  • yin y.

    Here's a secret... They purchase their fish from the same place as I Love Sushi and most of Seattle sushi restaurants. So what you are paying for are the same quality as other "high-end" restaurants. That said.. I don't usually eat from the conveyor belts, I prefer them fresh made. Here's my menu of what I typically order: Tobiko, ikura, amaebi, calamari, spider roll, takoyaki, sheared tuna & salmon, udon Five stars because Sushi Land is misunderstood and needs some lovin'.

  • Nerick M.

    Sushiland is one of my favorite conveyor-belt sushi joints in town, and I come here a lot when I'm in a rush but still want good "fast food". It's quick, cheap, and delicious. It's great that the $1 and $1.50 plates just happen to be my favorites, like California roll, salmon, tuna, etc. You definitely can't beat the price. Also, if they don't have what you're looking for on the belt, just ask them to make it for you at no additional charge (I usually ask them to make smoked salmon). OK, now I'm hungry.

  • Maureen K.

    Eat at Sushi Land. It will make you smarter. Analytical skills - sharpens critical thinking and decision making ability by having to simultaneously examine all similar plates in order to determine which one has the largest pieces before picking it up, while weighing the risk of another customer taking it before it comes back around. Psychomotor ability - increases coordination and balance required to remove closely lined plates off the conveyor belt without disrupting the plastic lids off the adjacent plates. Mathematical aptitude - (my favorite) enhances your math skills by requiring various types of mathematics operation, such as addition...and if you're feeling like a genius, percentages! Overall, this place has decent service, good food and cheap cheap prices. Don't be a cheap skate like me and try to eat only the $1 plates because you're afraid of doing too much damage. No matter what color plates you eat, your bill will still be on the low side! TIP: I don't recommend their "house special" roll that is wrapped in a yellow (presumably egg) shell. It is simply a roll made with canned tuna and (in my opinion) a waste of stomach space! Try the sesame balls, takoyaki (octopus balls), and unagi (eel).

    Kudos to Lawrence for taking me here, great pre-show food. Especially if you're planning on being one of the musicians playing the show, and don't want to be loaded down by grease, fried potatoes, or meat. The wait was crazy... I think we were there about 8:30pm on a Saturday so that's what we get. However, I counted at least three empty single chairs between people that, had the waiters forced people to sit next to each other, would have wound up with at least one more party fitting in somewhere. Grumble. "Waaah I don't want to touch the elbow of someone I don't know by accident waaaaah." The sushi was pretty good for the most part, though there were a couple dishes I was worried were going to make me... um... gastronomically uncomfortable later. (My fears were unfounded, I was fine) But that's why I carry Pepto in my bass case. It's been my general impression that people come to hear us play music, not watch me puke all over the front row.

    I recently was in Seattle to photograph a wedding and had to stop for sushi. Not knowing many people there, I didn't get much of any recommendations but on my way to Kerry Park in order to capture some Seattle skyline photos, I ran across Sushi Land and boy was it worth the stop. LOVE the sushi and the price as well!

    Solid price-point conveyor belt sushi. They will make anything you want, if you ask. Green Tea, gratis! I love, love, love that they play VERY bad pop top 40 music to appeal to the young'ins....

  • Erin B.

    This is the worst "sushi" place I have ever seen. There are better conveyor-belt places, there are better "cheap sushi" places, there is no place more ghastly than Sushi Land; it's almost fraudulent. The sushi selection was fairly limited, and from what we could choose from, nothing looked appetizing at all. There were gunkan rolls with just corn and mayonaise! The eel tasted like it had come from a plastic bubble from a toy vending machine, everything looked old and withered and awful. Please, for the sake of sushi quality, stop going here! Even Blue C sushi is better (and the cost:quality ratio is actually reasonable there)!

    (1)

  • Alexander Z.

    Before they opened the Seattle Center location, I had to go all the way to Bellevue for this. Our favorite kaiten sushi restaurant... Sorry, Blue C - you're prices are just too high otherwise you'd have a slight edge with offering hot foods in addition to sushi. Yes, there will be a wait. This place is small and popular. But you know what? When it comes to sushi (especially kaiten) you want it FRESH. If there aren't any other customers, nothing will be fresh. The more customers in the restaurant, the fresher your sushi is going to be. Somehow, though, Marinepolis manages to keep the sushi fairly fresh even on slow days. Why oh why can't you expand some locations in New England? :)

    (4)

  • Amanda K.

    This is an interesting concept, and I had a good time here. The wait to sit down was very long. Also, I am more into specialty rolls, and it was hard to tell what each plate was sometimes. I asked for a tuna and avacado roll, and the sushi chef said he would give me one, but I never got my roll. Otherwise, it is extremely affordable, and an interesting experience, but I probably would not go back. Edit: Changed my review, went back again, this was so gross worst sushi I have ever had, and I don't care if it's cheap, not worth it.

    (1)

  • Betsey S.

    That conveyor belt delivering sushi to my hatch in 3/4 time just never gets old. Counting up the dollar amount of my empty plate stack never gets old either because it's always less than my guess! I think, 'If that huge stack is only gonna set me back 7 bones I better eat some more,' and snag some edamame or a house special roll as it nearly sneaks past. So yeah, it's not the best sushi ever, but it's pretty freakin' good for the price. I've taken several sushi virgins here and it must be a very accessible sushi format because they felt the love right away. If it's your turn to treat and the treatee suggests the usually expensive sushi dinner (very sneaky, treatee!), foil their opportunistic plan and roll up to Sushiland. Ha.

  • Alice L.

    I love this place, one of my favorite places to eat in Seattle. Sounds silly to say when I've eaten at Crush before, but for the price, it is amazing. First off, my favorite thing, the price! I stick to the $1 and $1.50 plates mostly, so for $5 I can have a tasty lunch, for $10, I can walk out feeling sick from stuffing my face at dinner. The sushi quality isn't horrible, as long as you grab the right plates. Like I wouldn't recommend their calamari and the corn and mayo just sounds wrong.. Also, this is fast food, so poor quality is expected (not always given) and it is fast if you want it to be. It's great if I've been doing errands for half the day and just want to eat and go home, I've been in and out in 10min before and been completely satisfied. Only reason it doesn't get a 5 is because it's not the best quality.

    (4)

  • Tzippi D.

    This was a really fun place. Had never been to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. For someone who doesn't care for sushi, I still found lots to eat...edamame, veggie rolls, some sweet rice balls, etc. We must have come at the right time because there was no wait, but just a few minutes later there was quite a line.

    (4)

  • Ashley F.

    I've been to a few conveyor belt sushi places but this is the first one I've been to on the mainland that didn't scare me. They were super busy and I had to wait 15 minutes or so for 2 chairs in the Thursday dinner rush. You belly up to the conveyor belt in mainly bar style seating although they do have some tables for groups of 4+. My partner in food had a better eye than I and told me what some of the mysterious looking items were. If you are overly concerned with what exactly it is you are eating you should be better educated than I or go someplace else. Because they were so busy everything was super fresh. The fish wasn't dried out and you could watch the sushi chefs make everything in front of you. It certainly wasn't the best sushi I've had but for $10 per person it was much much better than expected. Miso soup (and I awesome certain other items) can only be ordered from the cute Asian girls that work here so don't bother waiting just ask when you get seated and order your drinks.

    (4)

  • Ane P.

    This is the fastest place to get your sushi and get out, in terms of conveyor belt sushi houses. The only thing that can be a bit annoying, is when there's a long wait to even sit down. However, once you're seated (depending on how quickly you eat), you can be up and out within minutes. I like the calamari, but in general, the variety isn't very wide.

    (2)

  • Christina B.

    mmm...Salmon Avocado hand rolls. Just give a shout to the guy behind the conveyor belt. Follow it up with some seared salmon. Amazing! Happy belly, under ten dollars. It's instant gratification, except for the waiting part, don't go during peak hours. You can special order, or just have it paraded in front of you for you to choose. Always fresh, good, and quick. Really, they get their sushi from the same place as all the fancier restaurants like Ototo and I love Sushi (we see the truck in the morning, when we get coffee in Fremont, delivering the fish and in the back there are boxes with the names of the restauarants they all go to. It's kind of fun) I even requested it for my birthday, and valentine's day, and when my husband got a promotion we went there as well. Okay, maybe we're a bit ghetto, but we know good sushi without the frills.

    (5)

  • Frank M.

    I lived in Tokyo a number of years and was schooled by Japanese friends on what constitutes good kaitanzushi - I like to think I can recognize it when I see it. For the price I haven't found anything that comes close to Sushi Land in Seattle. Great value.

    (4)

  • Betsy H.

    My only beef about this place (pardon the pun) is that they don't offer some of my favorite types of sushi, but for what they do offer, they're very consistent w/ a half dozen or so choices that fill me up nicely. Plus, Edamame is only a dollar per serving - where can you find that?! PS, the 3 stars is also for the dinnertime waiting - there always seems to be a line! :o) Plus, they're only open til 9pm, which is unfortunate!

    (3)

  • J K.

    Cheap, below-average, Japanese-esque grub served on a conveyor belt. I'll go back if I'm in the mood for that sort of thing. Don't come here expecting "good Japanese food" in the same way you don't go to Taco Del Mar expecting "good Mexican food". This is the best $1 sushi you can find -- that could be a good or a bad thing, depending on your preference, mood and expectation. The service is pretty bad in that they rarely ask how you're doing. The atmosphere is like that of a cafeteria. I dig the conveyor belt because you don't have to wait -- you just sit down and start eating. Plus, the conveyor style ends up causing me to eat stuff I wouldn't normally order.

    (3)

  • Janelle Q.

    The sushi is not top notch, that's for sure. And it's always crowded/busy, the food isn't always as fresh as it should be and when you order, it takes a while. But if there's one word that best describes Sushi Land, it'd be: Cheap. Cheap in taste, cheap in service, cheap in price! But I always come back because it's fast, it's food and it's.... cheap!

    (3)

  • Jeremy C.

    I've never failed to have a good time here. The place is always busy so the food is always fresh. I think of this place as a perfect regular hangout spot vs. a more expensive, occasional spot. Totally recommend the house special (super tastey super cheap). Be sure to order anything thats on the menu but not out on the belt at the time. I have yet to see california roll go down the line vs. special order. Tastey, Fresh, Cheap. Thats why this place rocks!

    (5)

  • Maria B.

    You can say what you want but this place rocks. They might not have the exotic and funky rolls like the other places but if you just want to get down and grub on some sushi, and do it cheap, go to Sushi Land. Check out the specials board and feel free to ask for things you see on it. One thing I would warn against though is any fried stuff make sure you see them put it on the belt because it is so long that stuff can sit on it for awhile and nobody like cold calimari. Service could be better but if they keep they're prices the same I dont care. Try it for yourself.

  • Kevin P.

    First-timers always enjoy eating at this place. The conveyor belt concept is new to most people (and newbie sushi-eaters) so they usually enjoy the freedom of being able to look at what their about to eat.. ask questions and make decisions. The overall quality of the sushi isn't great, but it is fast and cheap. You can expect to get a seat pretty quickly with the exception of maybe Fri/Sat nights (with larger parties). They also serve non-sushi items like miso soup, calamari, etc. Don't come here looking for grade-A quality sushi, but it's a great place to bring friends and eat some cheap sushi :)

    (4)

  • Mandy R.

    Can get LOTS of sooshi for NOT LOTS of money. That's GREAT! Good miso soup, too. However: Sometimes they are so busy that i end up having to raise my hand for a few minutes just to get a waitress to come over and assist. If only they had the blue buttons like Blue C sooshi... but alas, you get what you pay for!

    (4)

  • Ivy L.

    I absolutely love this place. You can get California Roll, or Crab roll for $1.50. It's strange, but they do serve string beans. The Squid here is only $2 or 1.50 for a plate, really worth it's money. The only overpriced thing, is when you get 2 tiny biscuits for 2 dollars, they're as short as your finger. I recommend sushiland, where else would I find red bean ice cream?

    The tampura was good, the green tea ice cream was good but the sushi wasn't. It looked to me that the salmon was kinda dry and a lot of the rolls were smaller here than at other resturants I have been to and for the same price. I stuck to only cooked things here because of this and managed to get a stomach ache that night so I really don't think I want to go back.

  • Haru K.

    This is my favorite place for cheap, authentic and fast sushi in Seattle. The best salmon nigiri, 2 pieces for only $1.50! You can order fresh natto nigiri and occasionally get hamachi toro. The staff is really nice, especially the manager. This place gets packed pretty much any day during peak meal times so come late or early to avoid the crowds and a wait. I'm serious about them having the best salmon nigiri for the price!!

    3 star.. food was ok..nothing is special. the only good in here is cheap sushi $1-$3. if u want eat something special sushi. u'll not find it. 4pcs roll, 2 pcs sushi in a plate. good things sushi can move around the bar.. bad thing is not fresh enough coz they make it first before u order or come..

    This place is definitely better than the one they just open in South center, Tukwila area. The sushi should at least stay intact and be the same size...Well anyway if you're looking for cheap sushi this place's pretty good. There's not a big variety of sushi however it tastes pretty ok with prices like $1, $1.5, $2, $3 plates it's very affordable. There's even udon bowl, miso soup, and desserts.

    I'm a sushi-snob keep in mind... While it's fun to see sushi go round and round, and people watching is entertaining that was about the only thing that appealed to me about this place. The rice was not consistent (dry), the fish low quality, the wasabi weak, the list goes on... Overall, you could give me a free meal here and I wouldn't take the bite. Sorry Sushiland.

    The dirtiest restaurant in Seattle! Seriously, do the sushi 'chefs' think that plastic gloves keeps the food clean or their hands clean. It's a big difference and they act like it keeps their hands clean! When they touch the visibly dirty walls, carts, food containers, wipe counters, wipe their pants, touch their face, etc. and then touch your food! Come on, it's common sense to not touch anything but food and if you touch something dirty then please, oh please, change your gloves. And since when was it OK to wipe a dirty counter and then wipe a plate with the same rag? (A plate they put someones food on) Gross, disgusting, and down right dirty. One word: Cross-contamination. The place is visibly filthy, front and back. They should shut it down for a week for an overhaul just to bleach it clean. Staff really need food safety and protection training. If they were properly trained they would not be making these types of mistakes that can lead to someone getting very sick. Take some pride in your restaurant and work, you have a good product and good market value.

    We decided to try Sushi Land on the way home from Seattle Center. It's a great place for a quick meal of okay sushi that's priced right. Since it's within walking distance for us, I think we'll be back.

    Possibly the worst service in all of Seattle. The servers and even the manager are rude and preoccupied. The sushi is cheap, but it's not worth enduring the snotty attitudes from the staff.

    Who doesn't love conveyor belt sushi?! Its definitely not high quality but then again you get what you pay for. I recommend it for a cheap, fast, and easy sushi dinner with friend or two, not with anyone you want to impress.

    People are just unsure about Sushi that is on a conveyor belt. Some feel that it's not personal enough. I personally think conveyor belt Sushi kinda feels unnatural. BUT, I have to give Sushi Land four stars because they have pretty good Sushi at a VERY AFFORDABLE price. Two things that hate each other are together at Sushi Land: good Sushi and very affordable. Not only do you have a decent selection going in circles but you can always custom order what you want here. I am an extremely risky(I was gonna say "adventurous" but I think I am a bit more than that) eater. No American Sushi restaurants usually have what I want or will give me the weirdest look when I ask for certain combinations, so I stick to the usual Nigiris and Rolls. For example: "Can I get the Salmon fish roe with raw quail egg cracked on top?"= weird look. If you stick with your good ol' favorites here, you are guranteed to be more than satisfied. My favorite roll is Salmon Skin roll and Creamy Hotate(scallops). On side note, they make good rice for their Sushi there. Fish must be fresh but the next important thing in a good Sushi is the consistency of the rice. They somehow get the rice right. Unlike Blue C, their rice is dry and hard. Also, as my good friend would say, "It's ASSpensive!". But, that is for another review... On the weekends there is quite a wait so I suggest getting there early. Parking is also kinda hard around here if there are things going on in Seattle Center.

    Sushi Land always hits the spot for me. The presentation may not be so well maintained, but its clean and presentable. The services can be halt at times of crowd (which is quite often). But since we are at Sushi Land, let's consider sushi. Of the zillions of times I have been there, I have seen in many occasions that the chef cuts up fresh salmon to be made into salmon rolls. And talking about salmon roll, all who have gone should have tried their seared salmon roll. Its practically just half-cooked salmon, but its taste just do it for me. One of the advantage of Sushi Land against other convoy belt sushi will be its price. Ranging between $1 to $3, you can get pretty full with about $10 in. And miso soup and green-tea ice cream should finish the job at $1 and $1.50 respectively. Sushi land is probably a place you want to go for some good chit chat before a movie.

    Alright, I'm not a sushi snob. I don't dream of the Ootoro slices on a perfectly formed rice ball. I usually get a kick out of most places, but here's my take on this place: 1. + for being the cheapest eat-in sushi joint around. 2. + for being the cheapest eat-in sushi joint around. 3. - for an awful, awful wait staff. 4. - Did I say, a really bad wait staff? 5. - for just bad vibes. The place is alright for the $, but you can do just as well from a prepackaged Safeway bento box. Go down to Shiro's, or up to Ototo for a much better selection. But if you want to check out a bunch of cheap, decent sushi on a conveyor belt, then stop by for a quick meal at your own risk! (Not a good group restaurant for parties larger than.. 2?)

  • crystal y.

    This sushiland is decidely all right for the most part. Off course everyone knows it's economic sushi here so you pay for what you get. My only real problem is that I've ordered items on a few occasions that just get forgotten. Especially the Tempura Eggplant Roll - when it's not already on the conveyor belt, you could end up waiting 15-20 minutes and still not get your order. Otherwise, if you're ok with the more common items, it's usually pretty good.

  • H K.

    Everytime I go here, I come back with a achy stomach. Can't pinpoint what exactly it is but handling sushi in bulk, pre-chopped, served on stained dishes might have something to do with it. Needless to say, I don't go here anymore. The southcenter one is new, clean and never have had the stomach problem after 15 or so visits. On the other hand it's the cheapest sushi in town.

  • Tanya S.

    I love you Sushiland! What better dream than to have sushi perpetually moving on a conveyor belt from the moment I sit down to the moment I leave? Make that a fantasy. Move into my house please land o' sushi. Not the "best" sushi in Seattle but who can complain when you look at the prices? I've always received good service and requests can be made. I recently took my parents here and they loved it, especially the calamari although I myself am not a calamari fan. Seared salmon is delish and I usually request a few. Cheap and easy! Just the way I like it. Perfect place for a date... we like to play games and bet which dish will stay on the belt the longest... The giant cream puffs are usually a sure bet :)

  • Midge C.

    I feel like this place has gone downhill. I'm a big fan of kaiten sushi, but this doesn't really do it for me any more. There is not much variety and when we ordered calamari, it came out soggy and gross. That's saying a lot from me, because I'll eat pretty much anything!

    (2)

  • Tamra G.

    Love it. Easy, low maintenance meal. Come here for a quick in and out bite to eat! Better quality than Genki Sushi nearby. California rolls are decent. Spicy tuna is awesome. Sockeye nigiri is a staple and their house roll is pretty good too.

    (4)

  • Sione P.

    Seriously... What hasn't already been said about this place? It's cheap sushi. It's cheap and it's pretty good! Cheap sushi in (basically) downtown Seattle is a prize! It's like finding one of those parking spots on the street right across from Pacific Place before you go catch a movie! You're pretty sure it's never gonna happen, then... BAM! What a break! Really, I like this Sushi Land. I like it better than the one in Redmond near that Bella Botega movie theatre, as this one has a better selection and I NEVER see desserts (like eclairs) at Redmond. The selection is typically pretty good and it's cheap. That's a good combo. If you want really good sushi, you're gonna have to pay for higher quality, but if you want a good meal with decent sushi, come here.

    Look, here's the thing - you don't go to Red Robin for a kobe burger with fancy toppings, so you don't go to a sushi place where the cucumber rolls are a buck for an omakase type meal. In the land of "you get what you paid for", the sushi is surprisingly good - the sashimi tends to be good sized cuts, the rice of decent texture and flavor, and the selection isn't bad. This is the place that I take sushi novices because if they don't like something, you're only out a buck or two. Plus, I've been going for several years now (introduced to the Bellevue one by my Japanese father, who went there for lunch back in the day when he worked nearby) and I've never gotten sick. Service can be hit or miss and the wait can be a nightmare, so if you live nearby your best bet is to order to go. You fill out an order form and either park yourself in the waiting area with the rest of the world or you give the harried gal behind the counter your cell phone number and she'll give you a call when it's done. Then you can wander around the neighborhood if the weather's decent (or take a jaunt a few blocks away to the QFC or the Metropolitan Market to grab some drinks to go with said sushi) until you receive a call letting you know the sushi is ready to go. This is the best way to guarantee you get what you want (in my case, my weight in seared salmon) without the hassle of watching everyone else grab it off the conveyor belt before you do.

  • Iki T.

    Their Sushi is inexpensive, yeah that's true. If you have $10 in your pocket, that could be enough to make you full there. However, it doesn't mean their Sushi is reasonable. Since it's cheap, I don't mind that they use packed ells and mackerels for their sushi. Also, I don't care that they use a "Sushi rice Machine", so workers don't have to be trained. Plus their sushi easily break down. Well, I can still live with it. One thing I really don't like about is their bad service. When I and my friend went their, they just kept forgetting our ordered sushi (like 4times), so my friend had to ask them again and again. It was so tiring. Were they busy? No, it was like 3pm. Moreover, their service is getting worse at least since I came to Seattle almost 3 years ago. They really need some competitors..... By the way, If you go to Sushi Land, I recommend Seared Salmon.

  • Shirin S.

    Well, it didn't make me puke. I found my sushi to be pretty tasteless and half the time couldn't tell what was in front of me (labeling would have been very nice). That's important to me because I don't eat any red meat and didn't want any surprise pork or beef in my mouth. Two stars because the plates are so freakin' ridonkulously cheap (main reason why we sat down in the first place otherwise, I probably wouldn't have eaten here). My waitress was also nice and attentive. But alas, I won't return. If I want conveyor belt sushi, I'd rather go to Blue C.

    (2)

  • Quinn R.

    Wow after reading all the reviews I feel I maybe need to go back and give this place another shot. Sushi on a track passing your table...brilliant. Sushi overloaded with mayo...gross. Cheap yes but to be honest when you are looking for sushi cheap should come far down the list of important things. None of the sushi felt fresh and all the rolls were so loaded with mayo I couldnt tell where the mayo ended and the fish began. sushiland i'll pass for now.

    (2)

  • Edward C.

    I live 3 floors above this place, and I am amazed by the number of people every evening who are willing to wait up to an hour to eat here! (many Asian teenagers, was I ever that bored?) I know sushi is usually expensive, so this place is kinda a bargain, and I haven't gotten sick the few times I've eaten there, which can't be said for some cheap sushi places. The food is average though. (you get what you pay for) Some of the rolls have way too much mayo. However, beer is cheap at $3.50 for a pint of Kirin! The staff is friendly. Anyway, if you want sushi cheap, this is a decent place. NB:DON'T TRY TO PARK AT SILVER PLATTER'S LOT ACROSS THE STREET, YOU'LL BE TOWED!!

  • Josh L.

    Good 'ol Sushi Land! For a college kid, on a budget this is the place to be! Cheap eats for decent sushi. Yes it is not the fanciest. And yes it is not always the freshest. But when hunger kicks in and you realize you only have $20 in your pocket, swing on over to sushi land! They get 5 stars because IMHO the sushi makers and the waitresses are all pleasent and helpful and the atmosphere is kickback. -1 stars for not having the best of the best sushi =) If you looking for fresh sashimi go looking somewhere else. I only eat cooked sushi. Peace up A -town!

    I don't know why there's so much hate for Sushi Land, USA, on this site. If you're looking for an "authentic Japanese experience" then you're looking in the wrong place and you should have known that by the name of this restaurant. Here, dirt-cheap sushi is delivered practically to your mouth by a conveyor belt. A cursory mathematical approach, combined with a mere ten minutes of observation, should alleviate the worries of those who think any nigiri sitting on the conveyor belt has experienced more than two full circumnavigations. People are eating that food! That's why they came to the restaurant! Why do you think those cooks are working so furiously? It's to get more food onto that conveyor belt, because it keeps disappearing! Seriously, this place is great, especially and always their salmon. The staff (besides the cooks) are slow, and definitely don't like being asked several times when your special order is coming. Don't worry, everyone, it will show up, and it will be delicious. *Also, their desserts are great, and the little cream puffs, I'm told, are good for anger management (if you're the type to palm-smash a cream puff on a bad day).*

  • Robin N.

    Sushiland is more fun for the experience of getting "fast food sushi" on a revolving belt, than it is for eating high-quality sushi. I know it's not the best sushi, but it's good for the value. The service is pretty crappy though, the waitresses aren't great, and EVERY time I go I swear I ask especially for an order of Inari, but they never bring it to me because they forget. It's a great and fun little place though if you want the fast food feel, but don't go there hoping for something serious. I like it for what it is though. :)

  • Sendy K.

    It's cheap. Went here a lot, cause it's only 2 blocks away from where I live. Food was okay. I always get their $1 happy roll, or whatever it's called, and tempura roll. I can't eat raw food, but some of my friends said that the seared salmons were great (half cooked). Bf loved this place, he said they don't have kaiten sushi in philadelphia. Servers and chefs were friendly. Overall, if you craving for good sushi, I don't recommend going here. But if you want it cheap and fast, then this is the place that you definitely wanna go.

  • Jennifer L.

    ...How I miss the calamari.......... Although it was always packed, and often I had to wait and watch people gorge on sushi...It was worth it. Their service is quick, and if there is something you want that isn't on the belt it comes out promptly! The sushi is good, not excellent, but the convenience was what kept me coming back!

    (4)

  • Sara L.

    It's true, this is not the best sushi I have ever had. However, as a person who is relatively strapped for money, and often gets sushi cravings, this place is ideal. I have never once been sick from the sushi, and I've never complained about the taste, either. It's not fancy, it's not perfect....but for the price, it's exactly what it one should expect it to be. The one real complaint I have is that the waitresses aren't great. I know they're busy, but if I order something special, there's about a 50/50 chance that I'll actually end up getting it. Go during more busy times -- there's usually a wait, but there's also usually more sushi to choose from. Basically, this place is Blue C, but way more affordable, and less trendy.

    Sushi Land! The name alone conjures up visions of some magical place where sushi dreams come true. I mean, they've got a conveyor belt, which kinda reminds me of the monorail, and who doesn't love a monorail? Well, maybe Seattleites, but that's neither here nor there. Five seconds in to our visit to Sushi Land, I realized that we were not in fact at the happiest place on earth, and that if there were ever a place to produce a strong foreshadowing of a sushi-enduced bout with food poisoning, this is indeed that place. I was absolutely disgusted the second I sat down at the bar and saw their laminated menus. They were covered in lord knows what, and there were crusty crumbs and greasy smears all over the plastic conveyor belt sneeze guard. I tried to look through the filth at the sushi whirring by, and I just couldn't see the forest for the trees. Or rather, all I could see was this one particular roll that, I kid you not, looked like regurgitated cat food wrapped in seaweed. I promptly realized that it was canned tuna. Again, I'm not a sushi expert, but canned tuna? Huh? The thing that utterly kills me is that one of my husband's Japanese colleagues actually recommended this place because of its supposed authenticity. If authentic sushi means eating canned tuna and nigiri that more closely resembles fishbait, then I don't want to be authentic. Upon some research, I learned that this particular style of sushi service, kaiten-zushi, is in fact akin to American fast food in that it's quick and inexpensive. See, that's the thing. I don't eat American fast food, so why eat the Japanese equivalent? When you're dealing with uncooked fish, call me crazy, I want the highest quality experience I can get. No McMaki for me, thank you very much. After a few minutes of discussing the dire situation under our breaths, we decided we had to leave, and so we did. In all fairness, I can't actually tell you about the sushi, but let's just say, the look of it alone was enough to make me vomit, and not in that fun, I-just-went-on-the-teacups kind of way.

    I LOVE Sushiland. The first time I went there for lunch with a co-worker, went home after work and grabbed my GF and we back there for dinner. Is it the best sushi I've had? Nope. Is it fun and cool to eat off of a very tiny people mover? Yep. Their $2 salmon is so friggin' good, it haunts me in my sleep. Expect a wait if you don't get there b/f 6:30 pm (or 11:30 am for lunch).

  • K A.

    There are some things I will and some things I won't order here, but what I do order, I absolutely LOVE. This is a place to go for a quick and affordable lunch/dinner. I love their rolls: salmon skin, asparagus, tofu....and for $1.50, you can't beat their little box of calamari. I usually steer clear of the tuna and mackarel nigiri, but after 2 plates of rolls, calamari and creamy scallops, I'm usually full anyway. It's conveyor belt sushi at it's best. An excellent alternative to Combo #4 with the supersize option.

    Sushi Land is great. Indeed, if you're a 'sushi snob' GTFO quick. Kaiten-zushi (conveyor belt style) is quick and cheap. Contrary to popular belief, they've got a pretty good selection, you just have to ask for it if you don't see it passing you by on the conveyor belt. They've even got a handful of new dishes that aren't on the menu too, I think I saw some Niku Sushi (steak) recently. For Kaiten style, their sushi rice is obviously consistent, nice and fluffy, not gooey or dry like Chinoise, Wasabi Bistro and the like. Wait staff always makes sure your drink is topped off and the gents making the sushi fill your request fast -tip these guys. Expect to wait up to 30 minutes when busy, especially Friday and Saturday nights. Parking is a pain in Queen Anne too.

    (4)

  • Allison S.

    This is the perfect place to go if you've got 20 minutes to eat and you don't want to hassle with wait service, or waiting of any kind. The sushi is not top grade, but it's pretty good, and there's always an interesting selection. They also have tasty standbys like edename, pot stickers, and a lovely variety of deep fried goodies that are made with octopus and/or squid. The staff is nice, the food is cheap, and again....no waiting. Here's the qualification to the "no waiting" mantra- don't go between 6:00 pm-8:00 pm- particularly on the weekends..you'll wait to get a seat, and you'll probably not be able to find parking.

    (4)

  • BlueMoon X.

    They don't have enough varieties. But the service is quicker than I expected, mainly because you can eat and leave within 15 minutes. Sometimes the line could be long, but the waiting time is shorter than other non conveyor belt place. The price is cheaper than blue sushi. You can order stuff if you see a particular one you like from the menu, but cannot find it on the belt.

    perfect place to go to grab some decent sushi at a decent price. con: the wait to be seated can be a bit long at times around dinnertime (10-15 min) if you have 3 or more people, but you make up for it with the sushi conveyor belt :)

  • Greg K.

    About 6 months ago, I would have given this a 4-STAR, but recently something at this location isn't the same. Nonetheless, this is a GO TO place if you are craving sushi on a budget. REMEMBER, try the SEARED SALMON if you have not tried it before. The best dish they have, and you'll be surprise to see it on an orange plate. And if you're feel REAL brave, try the Nattou, my friend swears by it, but I have yet to try it. If you're going in a big group, try waiting for a booth... just expect a long wait. In my experience, best to come in a small group of 2-4.

  • dean c.

    This place is cool because it's cheap and Blue C Sushi is dumb. I haven't really messed with the raw fish here but the fried seafood dishes are good. Eating from a conveyor belt is pretty fun. Does anyone remember the Iron Horse in Pioneer Square from way back when?

    (4)

  • Me H.

    It's conveyor belt sushi what do you expect? The sushi I had here was better than expected. Plus the chefs were accommodating to my pickiness of no cucumbers and willingly made me special rolls minus the cucumbers. The tuna tasted fresh as well as the eel, albacore and shrimp. And you can't really beat the prices.

    (4)

  • Aaron M.

    What can I say, it is not mind-blowing but it is great for the price. The sushi will do if you need a fix but not something to drool over later. It is fun though picking the sushi of your tummies dreams. But it can also be frustrating if you are at the end of the line and all the good stuff gets picked before you get to it. I believe Blue-C Sushi is more "upscale" in decor. But Sushi Land is a great place to chat with a couple friends while filling up on sushi.

  • Chanda I.

    want sushi on a budget and instantly? this is your place. they had daily specials with a a lot of stuff that were more western style rolls. for example, a lot of stuff that i ate was fried. but i do love fried stuff. also got popular western style sushi like california rolls, spicy tuna, and crunch rolls. you kinda have to take a gamble when picking stuff off that conveyer belt. which is fun for the adventurous but not so fun for the picky or highly allergic eater. i think i had some artificial crab fried over rice with cabbage and mayo on it. i thought is was delicious. with plates rangin from $1-$4 is sweet and helps keep track of how much u are spending and eating. try to get some of that special sauce in the Saracha bottle. i think it's a mixture of siracha sauce and mayo. also if they don't have something you're looking for or u see on the menu, don't be afraid to ask them to make it. it seems they rotate with different dishes since the chefs make a bunch of one roll at one time and then switch to something later.

  • Ugly Betty X.

    More bang for your buck in this great conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Always packed, so get there early. Be ready for the bright lights and being shoulder to shoulder with your neighbor/contender for the dishes of goodies. It's almost a fun game to see who can grab the goods before the other guy, and who can pile up the most plates. There are daily specials if you check the board or ask, as well as attentive servers. If you want sashimi only or a dish that's you don't see, or is not out on the conveyor yet, simply ask the sushi chefs. They are happy to help you out. The sake is cheap and hot, and the food is worth every cent. Extremely affordable and fun dinner date place. Parking is difficult. Try the bus!

  • S C.

    I would say more like 3.5 stars than 3 stars, but oh well. It's cheap conveyor belt sushi, CHEAP being the key word here. Service sucks whenever you go. The place doesn't even have to be full to get crappy service. Food quality is consistent at the conveyor belt sushi level. I come here for the rolls like their $3 spider roll!! Or other things like edamame salad sushi (didn't look very appetizing, but tasted a lot better than they looked!) or fried calamari. I usually don't eat the real (fish) sushi here though.

  • Heather H.

    We discovered Sushi Land our first weekend in Seattle and fell in love. It is perfect when you need a cheap sushi fix quick. The wait can seem forever but it goes pretty quick. We've also tried the location in Redmond but it doesn't have the same vibe as the Queen Anne location.

  • Katherine M.

    "Yummy! This place is overall a great place to go. The best thing about it is the price (and the tempura roll). Usually sushi can be really expensive, but you can get away with lots of sushi for $12 or so bucks (my usual check). They have lots of sushi choices (although I'm not terribly adventurous and tend to stick to my faves). I recommend the California Roll and the Tempura Roll the most. Especially when dipped in the orange hot sauce, which you can ask the sushi chefs for. Since it's a great place, there can be a wait - but they usually get through people relatively quickly."

  • Chris C.

    My new FAVORITE!! Sit down grab some sushi and go. I was skeptical about the conveyor belt idea at first but this place completely changed my mind. most plates (two pieces) are $1.50, which is great! The salmon is delicious, and so is most everything else! Always busy but the wait has never been to bad. If your in a rush you can be in, full and out in 5 minutes! AND if your up to the challenge of eating 30 plates in 90 minutes, you'll become a "Plate Champion" and get a T-shirt, Gift certificates, etc! A great atmosphere and wonderful selection too!

    the food sits on the conveyor belt for long periods of time, its warm, the staff is often rude and snotty (if u don't like your job quit) and the cooks never seem to look over if you want something else. i do not like this place.

  • Derrick D.

    If you're going here, you're not going for quality. Certainly not to say it's bad, it's just plentiful and decent. After getting annoyed with the recent Bill Simmons signing at Sport Bar, a friend and I headed here in hopes of killing time before heading back. Kill time we did. 15 plates and some sake later, contentment was achieved. After sampling a majority of their selections, the seared salmon was the best. The fish and seafood could have tasted a little bit more fresh; I'll attribute that to the late evening arrival and perhaps tastes better in the morning. So in that regard, consistency does lack. By the way, we never made it back to the signing due to The Great Nabob. It's a fun bar to hit up right on the same black.

  • Sam C.

    Sushiland is ten times better than their competitor. Sure, the competitors place is beautifully designed, and plays anime and Japanese game shows on the big screen, but the food at Sushiland is fresher, less expensive and there is a much larger selection. A great place for kids, casual dinner with friends, or a quick lunch. It is what is is - which is to say it is not Shiro's, so ignore the snob revues here. Honest food, honest prices. And Kirin on tap. 'nuff said.

    seared salmon please!!!!!! shrimp tempura, edamame.. and that's it!!!! there is a waiting list at dinner time.. but go during kind of noonish... because it's worth the mass production!!! and it's CHEAP!! holler.. hehehe but quality is ok.. but hey it's cheap.. who cares.. hahah

    I went to Sushiland for the first time about a year and a half ago with my boyfriend and it was pretty good. However, we recently went again one saturday night when we were feeling sushi and it was not so great. The service was terrrrible. I would almost classify it as the worst I've received. First, my boyfriend ordered a beer and I ordered some wine. The beer was brought to us, but not the wine. I let it go for the moment and started eating sushi. The waiter never came back to check on us. Then I saw him walk out the front door with his jacket on and a to-go box. He just up and left!!! I could not believe it. It was difficult to flag another waiter down. I don't think anyone even took over his section (because we were the only ones in it) when he left. We found the waiter from the nearest section and he finally brought my wine and took our order for the specialty sushi. That too took forever to get to us (it was just cucumber and pickle rolls, not that hard to make). I thought the food was average. Prices are decent, but I'd rather pay a few dollars more for good sushi and service. This was the first time we did not leave a tip at a restaurant. If the waiter walks out the door, then he obviously doesn't want one. I don't think I'll be back.

    Stopped over here for lunch today. After watching two back-to-back episodes in Japan on the Travel channel, I needed some sushi. We were seated right away during the lunch rush. Plenty of fresh sushi. Watched the salmon come right out of the package and on to the rice. I had a spicy tuna roll, salmon, and a egg + tuna combo that is my 2 year olds favorite. The salmon had a great color, melted in my mouth, and a really good flavor. No fishy taste at all. Our iced tea never dipped below 1/2. I used a soy/wasabi dipping sauce for some of the rolls, but not for the nigiri. For a quick, cheap dinner or lunch this is an excellent choice.

    Other reviews pretty much covered the situation in Sushi Land. The first time I stepped into the place, I was pretty worried about the freshness of the fish and whether I'm eating bacteria-flavored chum. However, I emerged from the place unscathed, no gastrointestinal problems to report of, and even a couple of tasty dishes I found there. The trick is to know what to order with the sushi chef. You can only find standard sushi dishes on the belt. Try ordering seafood spring roll, or seared salmon (call the sushi chef directly). Service is pretty bad. As soon as you get the attention of the waitress, get all your drink/soup order in. That's probably the only time you'll talk to her again until the check comes. But the sushi is okay.. Good value for the price. I'll definitely come again.

    It's passable sushi at best, the fact that you have to pay by plate is something of turnoff for me, but I've come to realize that for most places I'd probably have to pay a lot for sushi. Standard run-of-the-mill conveyor belt place, the quality of the cuts is decent, the saba is really dry, but it's also on the cheapest plate. If you want general sushi expect to pay $1.50 per plate (such as for sake and maguro). Most of the stuff that you'd go out of your way for is at least $1.50, saba would be the only $1.00 sushi. It's fairly obviously mass-produced sushi and rolls, with some fried squid and random stuff here and there. They have that 30 plates in 90 minutes challenge, which isn't really worth it, since you don't get it for free, just a t-shirt and your name on a thing. You'll have to find out how much the current record holder has because the highest record holder gets coupons or something. If I'm going to spend $20 on sushi I might as well go to an all-you-can-eat place. Could be worse though, but not really worth it in my book.

    Ah, Sushiland! I was so thrilled when I discovered its existance in Bellevue, and then, when one opened in between my house and my place of work.....happy dance! Yes, it's not refined or fancy sushi, but it's fresh, tasty, and the price can't be beat. I was a very-low-paid worker in Japan for a year, and my friends and I would go to conveyer belt sushi places every payday - they're cheaper than regular sushi places there too. I stop here for a plate or three as a snack on the way home on a regular basis, and for the occasional pig out. Lots of cooked options for the non-adventerous, too. And entertaining to listen to the multi-national staff try to talk to each other in the others' languages.

    I love sushiland!! Unlike my friend S*** I don't know thing one about about the quality of sushi, or what goes into making a good roll. They could give me canned tuna wrapped in a fruit-roll-up and sprinkled with NERDS, and I'd be happy! You get to watch all the little fishes go around on a conveyor belt, and pick which dish you want. All the dishes are priced from about $1.00 to about $5.00, and you can have the chiefs custom make you stuff, or pick stuff off the menu, or whatever. I don't have the money to go to one of those places in Belltown where they make rolls that look like dongs or whatnot, but for my price range, this place is pretty bomb! Oh, and you can get drunk there as well!!

    Queen Anne location closer to Seattle Center so you can stop by here while checking out the Space Needle or Tower Records - concept is similar to sush boats except this is a conveyer belt. My partner and i came here shortly after they opened around lunch time so the sushi was pretty fresh - i'm not really sure about how fresh the sushi is later in the day. Prices are pretty reasonable between 1-3$ a plate... 3$ for special rolls and nigiri. The seared salmon was great and yummy and the staff behind the belt was very quick to make any special requests. They also have Kirin draft! Service here was pretty prompt.

    FYI, it's also called Sushi Land. Good place for fast, cheap sushi. Average selection on the conveyor belt. Wished parking was better.

  • Margaretta L.

    Sushi Land is for sushi addicts, not sushi snobs. Straightforward and gimmick free, you can get a filling meal here for less than $10. The staff won't dote on you, but they will make any sushi you don't see coming down the belt quickly and with a smile. If you've already paid $50 to see a show at Seattle Center, why not make out like a bandit on dinner and beer? (Also a hit with the office crowd for lunch.)

    This place can be pretty hit and miss. Sometimes the guy cutting the fish is stingy, other times generous. Usually won't find anything outstanding here but when they actually have it you'll get the best priced toro in town. This is also the cheapest place I know to get uni. Again, not the best quality by any measure but you can pay a lot more for the same thing elsewhere. In the past, the Bellevue location was slightly better with regards to quality but I haven't been there in awhile. I eat at the Q.A. location about twice a month.

  • Yana K.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I go to the Bellevue location all the time so on a shopping trip to Seattle a month back I decided to try out this place. It's within walking distance of the space needle and the parking was quick to find, it probably helped that I came on a Sunday afternoon. The place is immaculate: very clean, bright, and open; different from the Bellevue location, which has the bit out of the way hidden gem thing going for it. I was seated promptly and was taken care of by the welcoming staff. The fish was very fresh and everything was yummy and very up to par. I have to say that they way they prepare the spicy tuna roll here is not the same as at the Bellevue location and I actually prefer the Seattle version better. Instead of putting the spicy sauce on top, this place incorporates it inside the fish. The sushi chefs made everything that I asked for quickly and were truly glad to be there. I know that this isn't the Marimoto style sushi of Japanese proportions, but the kaiten thing works for me.

    cheap. but the fish tastes like plastic. if you want kaiten, go to blue c in fremont.

  • L S.

    Mmmmm, sushi! We decided to check this place out after seeing some favorable reviews here on Yelp. It's so close to work, but not close enough that I could walk here, eat, and walk back. That is sad, because I really liked the sushi here. Of all the kaiten-style sushi places I've been to (lol, counting both Blue C's, this would be the THIRD), I think this is the best. I enjoy the sushi at Blue C, but not only is the sushi quite tasty here, it's also super CHEAP! Like Margaretta L said in her first review of this place, Sushi Land is for sushi addicts, not sushi snobs. When we came here, it was probably right before 5pm. Considering the time, not lunch and a little early for dinner, the selection on the belt was quite good and I didn't feel the need to ask the staff for any special requests, such as my obligatory Philly roll. My appetite was satisfied with a two (or three) plates of salmon nigiri, a spicy tuna roll, a California roll, a salmon roll, and a shrimp tempura roll. OMG, the shrimp tempura was so good, too! I'm usually not a big fan of shrimp tempura, but I wanted more and more of this! They had some Copper River salmon nigiri, I think at $3 it was the most expensive thing I saw go by on the belt. And it really wasn't all that great. I like Copper River salmon, but I didn't like it like this. We very much enjoyed our first visit to Sushi Land, especially since we were well fed and it was only $20, before tax and tip.

    I am a fan for the cheap prices.... Nothing special, the miso soup seems too salted last time I went there. I always have to ask for a straw for my water (which I do at every restaurant) but who wants to kiss a stranger cup? Anyways, cheap sushi, fast, waitresses always seemed air headed, same kind of sushi annnnnd they got weird creations going on on that belt. Four star because sushi land is a very predictable place, and the prices fit the economy!

  • Jeffrey G.

    When eating Sushi, I look for volume, volume, volume. I want to know that the Tuna is just flying out the fridge and the Salmon is circa today. I can't stand seeing those little wood trays filled with fish wrapped in plastic in those little Sushi Coolers, Ask the chef how long they've been there, I dare you. Here you can almost always spy a chef breaking down a nice fresh Tuna or Salmon. Pretense - No, Atmosphere - None, Fluorescent Lighting, bad music, Burger King like ambiance - yes. Good, Fresh, Cheap Sushi - Always Not a place to swoon a date, but if you've got a Sushi-Jones, A hamachi habit, Maguro shakes or Ika-itis - meet me there One problem - given the number of daily / weekly specials (A good thing) sometimes it's a little hard to figure out what's on that plate scrolling by before it's too late. I wish they would identify the selections with little cards or something. Tech heads - check out the RFID chips on the bottom of all the plates to insure that nothing sits out more then 45 minutes.

  • Lisha L.

    This place is actually really good. And for the price it really can't be beat. There are quite a few items I had that were a "miss": tamago nigiri was gross; shrimp tempura roll , spicy tuna, negitoro, seared salmon, and even the unagi (how?!) were tasteless and forgettable. But everything else I had was really quite good. (I had a lot, okay? D:) The trick is not to take anything off the actual conveyor belt and just order off the menu from the friendly people making sushi behind the counter. There's really a very good selection of nigiri sushi and the quality is surprisingly good for the dirt-cheap price. It's nice that their website lists all of their menu items and prices! I just wish they would open one in like SF or Boston so I could actually eat here again.. D: It's pretty hard to get seated with a group, I'd imagine it'd be a lot easier to just come with one other person. Also wish it were open later!

  • Jessica Y.

    Sushi Land is awesome! Triple awesome, really. Great eats, even better prices. They loose one star because of the fact that I do think that the "fancy" rolls can be somewhat lacking...and I'm not hyped on their beer, wine, and Saki selection. Overall hard to beat. Best of all always the most amazing/horrible pop music playing, which when I am eating sushi is a big plus.

  • Michelle B.

    Sterile atmosphere, too bad I can't say the same for the sushi. Granted we stopped by here after 8:00 so perhaps it wasn't the freshest sushi, but there really wasn't anything on the conveyor belt that looked too appealing. The staff did make us our "special" requests - edamame beans and a spicy tuna rolls, so who can really complain? I got what I wanted. Yep, it's cheap, but you really are getting what you pay for here. I would recommend spending a couple of extra dollars and going elsewhere for quality sushi. When it comes to raw fish it may be something you want to invest in to mitigate any unpleasantness the next day.

  • Brett W.

    Great lunch spot!!! Blows Blue-C out of the water!!! Decent conveyor belt sushi that you can really fill up on for cheap. Just don't eat the salmon as it is farm raised! The mackerel is cheap and fresh! Don't be a sushi snob! If you are looking for a master samurai sushi chef to create a slice of paradise just for you than this place isn't your cup of tea. If you are on your lunch break and want to eat fast and cheap decent sushi than this is your place!

  • Josh F.

    If you're looking for top-notch sushi then this is not the place for you; however, if you just want a quick sushi fix for not much money then this is perfect. I would say the food is on par with Blue C Sushi but cheaper. Complaining about the quality of the sushi at this place is like going to Dick's and complaining the beef isn't prime. Duh. You get what you pay for and this place, I think, definitely has value. The place is brightly lit and has the ambiance of a school cafeteria. Again, it's not an ideal place and, to be honest, I probably wouldn't drive too far out of my way for this. Thankfully, I live within blocks and enjoy stopping in for a cheap sushi meal.

  • Liz A.

    Love it! This is such a FUN place to eat! If you like fun (and sushi), go here. The restaurant is just one huge sushi bar, with about 5 - 8 chefs in the middle rolling like mad. The plates are in 1$, 2$, 3$ and 4$ increments. You decide what you want and how much you want to spend. If you don't see what you are craving, grab a chef and make a special order. Be prepared to wait if you come in on a Friday or Saturday night. And remember this.. the sushi's cheap, the drinks ain't.

    Cheap sushi! Not the best sushi, but good and cheap... for 2 people we spend under 25 dollars.... yay! It's better than Blue C... but you really can't compare this to the expensive places (I love Sushi, Umi or Kisaku). Think of this place like fast food sushi. I love coming here before an Opera... its within walking distance and after spending so much on my Opera tickets, it's nice to get something so cheap.

  • Mike M.

    This Sushi land was cool...much better than the one up north. I visited with my Boss on a Tuesday night. We had great service, yummy cheap sushi that was not in any way outstanding. The tuna sushi-mi was the same frozen brand that I use in my restaurants: tasty, expensive, not outstanding, but affordable. I like the cafeteria feel..I have fun, spend less , eat more. A conveyer belt travels the entire lenght of the joint, letting you pick what you want, as it sails past you. The price is $1 $2 $3 $4...etc. You can tell what the cost of each little plate of sushi by the the color of the plate rim. Charts are also posted on the walls of the restaurant to help you. As you eat, you stack these plates. At the end of your sushi orgry, the staff just counts up the plates by price (color), and hands you a bill. Just like Dim Sum really This is blue collar sushi..people eating, laughing, tasting and loving the experience and people watching! Many times I have ben unable to get a seat on a weekend night. the place is usally crowded by Japanese people ( who know a bargain) Contrast this with the Yelp reviews of " excellant Sushi" My freinds- Real is real. My grandma made some awsome fresh hand made pasta. On our kitchen table . for about 25 cents. It tasted like strarcy velevet...with hot homemade marinara sauce on top. In Seattle, in the right district, with the right name on he dish, I could become a hipster fav, and a rich man. Just trying to kill off peoples ideas of "exclusive" ..try this place foodies! I think we racked up about $50 in sushi for the day ( including 2 beers each). We ate and chatted for a few hours. We were stuffed. If you are a Sushi " yelp foodie" person , who speaks all the items in Japanese, and says "they don't call this XXX in Japan- because I lived, worked slept,visited, studied, read a novel about, knew someone who once visited, watched a food channel special about, just heard about, might believe there is a county named: Japan, you should not ever eat here - go away...please stay away, it will kill our cheaper-than -shit sushi orgasmic BUZZ ZZZ!!!!!!!!!

    I lived a block away from this place for 4 years. It's fantastic. I don't care about it being the McDonald's of sushi. Sure, it's a little cheaper and a little less high quality, but it's tasty. If you want fancy rolls go somewhere else, like Blue C. But, if you want to go out for cheap with friends, this is it.

  • Denis G.

    Wow - this place has gone downhill. We used to come here once a month when we lived in the neighborhood, but the last few times the food has been really average and fishy and the service worse than usual. We ordered udon waited for 20 minutes, ordered again, waited another 20 minutes and finally just left. There's a reason it's so cheap - it sucks!

    (1)

  • Ian N.

    I believe that this is a place for everyday sushi, much much better than any of your counter and to go options, and dare I say better than the other belt delivered sushi options in Seattle. Sure the chefs can be a little surely, but what you ask for you get, and they don't really mind making it. If you are looking to wow your guests, or expect hand and foot service it is the wrong place. Enjoy it for what it is, a quick, and relatively healthy eatery, where one can get exactly what they came for. I can walk out of this place with my stomach full of honest nigiri... Maguro, Hotate, and Uni, all at totally edible levels of freshness and a coke for like 12 bucks. Can't knock that.

  • Mindy H.

    I come here a lot simply because: They're cheap. They're clean. And once in a while, some of them are even cute. Service: They seem to get new employees every time my friends and I go. And most of the time, service just sucks. The waiters aren't usually very friendly. We've only run into two that we all actually wanted to tip (which is why, well, we've never tipped them more than the coins in our change.) and I'll tell you why: Friendly Waitress--Very rare. I've only seen her once. Sadly, she doesn't work there anymore. Every other waitress I've ever seen there? They're just downright rude, don't want to help you, or ignore you when you need something. And I have never seen any of them smile since that single friendly chick the first time I ever ate here. Passive Waiter--My sister decided to pay in all coins one day, because she wanted to get rid of them instead of breaking her bills. You can imagine the look on my face when she told me, and the look on the guy's face when he realized she wasn't kidding. But he just laughed and joked throughout the entire time, and counted with her. He didn't complain, he didn't scowl--he just cracked about it lightly. Now there's a guy I wouldn't mind paying some extra cash. Every other waiter? They mug. Or are just really mediocre. Cooks/Chefs/Whatever You Wanna Call Them--it varies. Once, we had to order something five times before we even got it. Sometimes, they're really fast about it. So I guess it just depends on the luck of the draw who's working the day you go. Food: It's okay. What can you really expect from such a cheap place? Sometimes it's super bomb. Sometimes it's super not. The sushi usually doesn't look so great when it comes to presentation, but loordy, I've eaten some good sushi there. And their seafood rolls are coool. But they don't make them very much. Some of their stuff is ridiculously overpriced though. Never, ever touch those ... sweets stuff that they have rolling around. Sometimes you'll see the same exact dishes of sushi rolling past you half an hour later. Point is, I still come here for the prices and for the decent enough food. I prefer the one in Tukwila though.

  • Bridget L.

    I just went for the first time this week for lunch and got there just before the rush. Whew! Yes, it's not the finest quality--on par w/ Blue C, but the selection is much better here. There's only so many spicy tuna rolls one can eat at Blue C. I would like labels, but the photos on the sushi menu can be matched up to what's on the plates. There are some dishes that I had no clue about but tried anyway and were super good. Unpretentious, super cheap, and yummy! What more could you ask for?

    What to say about Sushi Land? When you want fast cheap sushi-esque food, this place is decent. The food prep area could use a good cleansing, which is surprising since everyone sits in a big ring staring into the space. In the evenings this place is crammed full of kids, like some sort of part-time employee sushi mecca. So I suggest swinging by for a light lunch. I did that today and ate my fill for about 8 dollars including tax and tip. Although the set up discourages it, don't be afraid to request exactly what you want from the cooks in the center. It beats eating 3 hour old sushi off the belt. They'll also make a number of things that are not on the menu or the belt. The wrap up. The food is passable, the wait staff is never around, the kitchen is frightening and it's always crowded. The price is right, freshly made items are pretty good and the to-go-boxes are fresh and tasty. So check it out, but don't expect a lot.

  • Enna C.

    I used to love this place - good food and service. But I have been noticing a trend on paying with credit cards at this restaurant. They charge you more than what you write down on the credit card receipt! This has happened to me twice already, and despite the amount of difference is small, this is a very shady practice that should have less than 1 star. So bring cash if you plan on eating here, or keep your credit card receipt so you can dispute it if the amount is different than what you write down!

    I would love to live in said "Sushi Land". I imagine it to be a place where I could find good sushi at the 7-eleven, alongside the month old rotating hot dog. I guess if I were to live in such a glorious land(read:Japan), I couldn't expect sushi at much better quality than what is served at Sushi Land USA in Seattle. I didn't mind the sketchiness of the conveyor-belt sushi (age is just as questionable as the 7-11 hot dog), only because the price was so extremely low. It was odd that the cheapest plate was the least desired (every other plate ib the conveyor belt was the innexpensive Sushi Land special roll). It was also odd that you couldn't ID the fish going by. Call this place the "Pick N' Save" of Sushi. Call it a place I likely will never return. I'm a bit of a sushi snob.

  • Lei W.

    Oh, Sushi Land. Let's dissect, shall we? Sushi Land was my first experience at conveyor belt sushi. Being that it was a 45 minute wait, I was hoping for something a little beyond grocery-store style nigiri. With questionable freshness I stuck to California rolls for the most part, which were satisfactory, nothing more than satisfactory. The service is terrible, by the time I got my beverage of choice I was almost done with my meal. On the brighter side, I enjoyed the conveyor-belt anticipation, just waiting to snatch the plate that catches your eye, so, I went a few more times, until I was introduced to conveyor belt sushi that was actually worth eating. Thank you Blue Island Sushi. Adding onto the poor quality and sluggish service, parking is unpleasant. Be prepared to add $5-$10 onto your bill for parking. Anyone who can appreciate Sushi Land has clearly not done any sushi conveyor belt shopping.

  • Way S.

    This isn't the best sushi and it's not the best service... but you get what you pay for. I'm guilty, I go there after work a lot because it's cheap and fills me up (no pun). Don't be afraid to tell the sushi chefs what you want. If you don't, you're gonna be lookin at some nasty sh$# roll by your eyes every 5 minutes. The chefs are real nice and give you better service than the wait staff.

  • Z O.

    This business is great for what it is - a place to get a lot of sushi for a reasonable price. No, it's not the most amazing or freshest ever, but the quality is not bad (in my opinion the same or higher than Blue C Sushi's, which is twice as expensive). Good place to grab a beer, then stuff your face.

  • Kelly Z.

    Conveyer belt sushi! What's not to love? Prices are indicated by the color of the plate (Green - $1.00, Orange- $1.50, Blue - $2.00, Purple - $3.00) just grab what looks good, if you crave something and don't see it flag down a chef and ask for a special order. Also Don't worry about it being "old" because on the bottom of each plate is an electric barcode. Each item is on a timer and when the plate "expires" a bell rings and the dish is automatically pulled off the main line to be dumped. No worries about human error - it's technology and sushi at it's best.

  • Paige K.

    We decided to try this place one more time because some friends were so enthusiastic about it and it was just as bad. It was busy but it took the guy so long to get our sodas I thought he had forgotten. Seriously, we were almost done eating by then and I eat fairly slowly. And he didn't come back around with the bill until we had been finished for about 15 minutes. I had to send back the veggie tempura I had taken off of the conveyor belt as well because it was no longer warm and tasted bad. The sweet potato was like jerky. I won't listen to those friends anymore!

    I go here a lot lately. It is close to the house, my wife love Sushi, you get to watch people, there is a conveyer belt to keep your interest. if you don't see it ask for it, there is a bunch of stuff that they don't tell you exists but if you ask for it chances are they will make it for you...don't forget their udon. Blue C is better

  • Rowena D.

    I came here recently on a Saturday evening and luckily the place wasn't packed. We were seated promptly after about a 15 minute wait. Because sushi is presented on a conveyor belt, it's really efficient to eat here. I like that you can grab sushi right off a conveyor belt in front of you. The sushi comes on different colored plates and each plate denotes a different price starting as low as $1. The sushi here is really cheap and the quality does reflects that. So, don't have high expectations. One nice thing about Sushi Land is if you don't see something you want, you can request one of the sushi chefs to make it for you possibly using blow torch like they did for my salmon skin roll.

    I'm demoting Marinepolis to three stars. Don't worry little Marinepolis, I'll still come to you for sweet fishy succor every once in a while. But last night when I rolled up with four of my nearest and dearest girlfriends, things did not go so well. First of all, the large selection that I touted in my last review was absent. California roll, shrimp salad, crab salad, special, california roll, repeat! There wasn't a scrap of unagi on that whole belt I swear. We had to order everything specially and even then we had at least two orders for seared tuna (the one serving we had was deeelicious) which went missing. To top that off, the service was horrrrrrrrrendous. We had to scuttle for our own straws, flag down a waitress we'd never seen before in order to get diet coke refills and ask THREE times for our check before another new waitress made it out for us. I think our original waitress was beamed up by aliens. The same aliens that stole our seared tuna!! Damn aliens!! (The food is still pretty dece, and for the love of all that is holy, have the mango ice cream.)

    back in the day where i still live in seattle, this is probably the only sushi place that i go. not that i fond of it, but my networks somewhat limited my sushi option to this place. the sushi was okay and it's nothing more than just an ordinary rotating sushi restaurant which is kinda unique in seattle because as far as i could remember, there is no other rotating sushi restaurant in seattle. my only recommendation for this place is the seared salmon. that's it

    i LOVE sushi. so much that I would marry it. But it can get pretty expensive. Enter Sushi land; i can get my sushi grub on, and not feel too much pressure on the wallet. The only thing I'm not a fan of is their selection; there's not much to choose from. but it;s good food for the price!

    not much to add that hasn't already been said. it's cheap sushi. it's decent...sometimes mediocre...sometimes sliced completely awkward. the cream puffs are fabulous and i've had nothing but good service the few times i've been here. this is by far my cheap sushi fix...if i have the money, it goes elsewhere.

    I have come here twice now. At first I thought it was okay and then the second time around I realized that I have had much better and it was at home in San Francisco. Coming the second time around made me realize that there isn't much variety offered on the conveyor belt here. I was waiting for something new to come on the belt but nothing eye-catching. Plus the unagi is served cold and not warm which I found odd and i can feel the bones in the unagi. It is good to come here when you are looking for something fast and cheap. Plus I think it might be better to order things in addition to the conveyor belt. I would only return if you were a party of 2 or less b/c the line and wait can be out the door.

    I had been meaning to check this place out for a long time. I heard it was cheap and had great sushi. Maybe I just had a bad experience but the day I went the restaurant seemed very muggy and hot and my sushi was warm which grossed me out. I left after two bites, something about warm sushi just doesn't sit well with me.

    CHEAP SUSHI!!! I love the seared salmon. Parking is pretty crazy during busy hours because there is no private lot. =) For the price I can't complain. I love how they mass produce thing because waiting when you're hungry is no fun. Definitely a place for Sushi fan on a budget!

    We've dined here before for a quick bite but today was a total miss. A friend walked out before we even sat down because he said the air was just too fishy. The service was inconsistent as we had to flag down the staff every time we ran out of tea. We arrived early so we had to wait for dishes to land on the belt. We decided to order items that were not on the belt and it took them a long time to arrive. As it had been probably over a year since I last came, I noticed that the place had aged and could use a bit of upkeep. I do have to say that if I want Kaiten-sushi again, I'll head to Blue C at the University village.

    Don't expect anything crazy here-they do have a spider roll, california roll and tuna, but rolls here are simple and sweet. You're not going to find a Rainbow Roll, a Lion King Roll etc. It's simplicity at it's best-the sashimi was good and surprisingly fresh, while the rice was actually the right consistency (even with the best of sushi houses this is often difficult to manage). If you don't see it on the conveyor, just ask. They are more than willing to make it for you asap. Good cheap sushi. Friendly service. 'Nuff said.

    AWFUL! Been going to this place for a nearly a year. Last few months, I watch this place slide into something you would see on "Kitchen Nightmares". They sit you down, don't do good on refilling beverages, taking special orders, and worst if you do a special order. I request ordered 2 different dishes; Kappamaki and some Tako. The Kappamaki roll came back with warm/hot rice (out of temp food), and the Tako was spoiled. I ran to restroom sick to the stomach just by the thought I ate rotten octopus (I know to get ill on food it takes hours, maybe days, but the thought turned me inside out!). Then no one seem to care when I brought up that the octopus was spoiled (when you flipped it over you could clearly see it was greenish/yellowish shade). I'm really sorry this place had gone down hill the way it did, I know not to long ago it had a health Code Shut Down..... just had thought it would of not sank as low as it did. It will surprise me if its doors remain open for much longer!

    I love Sushi Land. It may not have the top notch sushi a lot may be looking for, but it's quick and cheap and I've made it a second home. The staff are always friendly, yet a bit slow to helping customers. I'd recommend Sushi Land for someone looking for okay sushi at a quick pace and for little money. Overall, love the place.

    Of all the Sushi Lands I've been to, this is the yuckiest. The food is not fresh, the place is a little dingy, and parking is hard to find.

  • Cris S.

    Okay. I am a sushi addit and while I can honestly say I am a sushi snob and been to places like Morimoto's in New York, something about this place somehow finds me coming back. Let's start with the food first: Quality is a step above "QFC"que style sushi through at least a tad fresher. The joint orders their fish from the same company as some of the other "high caliber" places in the area, so the caliber is there, but I think this place gets the "leftovers" of those more chicky places. Selection is a hit and miss. Usually you will find the usual tuna (meh, okay), salmon (surprizing buttery :), house roll (I would mostly call it a canned tuna roll with egg), eel (can be dry at times), california (average), sometimes some soybeans here and there and randomness from there. I gotten calamari here and there ( not too shabby), and some better tuna (my wife likes the spendy stuff). Spider rolls are not too bad, uni is okay (for 3 bucks it is a steal vs. 10 bucks average downtown). I am not a fan of fried food, so I have not eaten some of the fried goodness there. My wife says the cream puffs during the dinner hour are happy, and the mussels are not too bad. Scallops tend to have this "chlorine" like taste to them. The battleship roe things are not too bad, through can get stuck in your gums for a few hours of toothpicking. The other battleship things (crab and tuna salad scare me, so I tired one once and it was okay, but not a keeper) The spicy rolls are not the best, the fried potato things are okay my wife says. etc. Sushi rice is modest, can be dry at times, but 80% chance of being fine. So overall, you are looking at food quality in the 3.5 range with 5 being fresh off the boat and 1 being 10 day old poo off of Safeway. Selection is modest, but do not expect to always get what you want and it is a hit and miss and custom orders are not always processed. (more on this later.) So let's go to service. Service is mid to below average. People usually greet you and seat you, but if you hit it during a peak hour, expect to be ignored or looked at blankly unless you be assertive and mark your coming. (loud drums and color guard are optional) After that the seating is not too big; the place holds about 50 people tops, so you can either be stuck waiting like a monkey or if you are smart, you will go during off peak hours and usually get served. The servers are cute and that is about it. They tend to forget about you and might not remember your order and such, BUT they are cute and if you like college aged Asian girls, you are at the right place for eye candy, through they will not really pay much attention to you. If you want something, I suggest reminding them every three minutes or so until you get it or they will forget you exist until the bill is ready. The chefs are more or less nice. Very few speak good english, but they do a good job keeping the line going and selection modest. Plus, if you want something custom ordered, they are willing to do it; but like the servers the 3 minute reminders are needed or they will blow you off and make more california rolls or something. So, the service is better then McDonalds, but not Wolfgang Puck caliber. I rate it a 2.5 with 1 being the Hilton and 5 being high school lunch lady service. Now to decor. Honestly, besides the random "happy cats" and some second hand "Asian" brac, the place more reminds me of "Dick's" if "Dick's" served sushi and had cute Asian girls serve food rather then cute not Asian girls. yeah....that made sense. ANYWAY, the tables remind me of those college tables we had at the UW, and the bar reminded me of a brighter "Iron Horse" like design (that place near the train station that served your food on a mini train....dang, I miss that place. Was great when I was a kid...."Get your sandwich on a train," that was a hoot. But, back to reality. The place is functional. The restroom clean enough, and overall atmosphere happy and clean. I give it a 3 for decor. With 5 being Buckingham Palace and 1 being cardboard box on Hilltop in Tacoma. We then go to location and mood: Location is around 400-500 Mercer up a block past Roy near a 7-11 and a hip record store. Parking is non-existant, but a good way to get free parking is to go to the record store, by a CD and then hit the parlor. You then meet the requirement of going to the record store and get FREE parking without legally doing anything wrong. You can do the same trick at the QFC down a block and buy a $1 iced tea and get 90 minutes of free parking in their garage...or $1 dollar parking, however you look at it. Since I work a block away, I take Metro and just walk a block there. It is on the 3-4-16 bus line. Overall effect of the place is like a hole in the wall mid-level sushi block that has mild service and decent food. Not really a first date place, maybe a fun lunch dig or someplace to take your wife/husbend for a mea

    Stuff your face with the best inexpensive sushi in all of Seattle here. I am always happy with the carousel and the selections that pass my by my seat. The help is always great, but the place is always busy. Note that if you tip well, the staff will remember you and in my experience they will assist you more quickly.

  • Laura B.

    OK, so I've eaten sushi as a lot of places in Seattle. A lot. I've also been taught a lot about fish. A lot. (Including fish in the form of sushi)... My friend wanted to take me to Genki Sushi... they had, literally 2 minute prior as the man said, closed because they were having a grand opening patron party of some kind when we arrived... so yeah, my friend called this passable, I resisted, he asked me to get past my bad feelings about a chain sushi spot that was that inexpensive, and ... yeah. Here's the story. Read on if you dare. To debunk a little myth here, getting fish from the same vendor does NOT equal getting fish of the same grade/quality or even from the same COUNTRY. Having worked a while on the managing side of some upscale restaurants, I've seen the things that are just repackaged same stuff and the things that truly are worlds apart. Sushiland is a world apart from, say, Ototo... and theirs is the 3rd world, with Ototo, Nishino, etc. being first. Without going into a lot of detail about what I got, most of it was made by them fresh... I only grabbed one thing from the conveyor belt, and that... was something cooked... in any case, the tempura I got... not bad, not great. The udon noodle soup and miso I had to forego because they have MSG in both (which some people may want to know since udon almost never does in places I have gone on the east coast and in California in particular)... I had some fried eggplant... ok enough flavor, kind of hard to chew, not cooked through all the way... but not "awful" for $2... wait, that's the price of a double cheeseburger with tax? OK, so yep, it was awful. Now for the sushi. Oh the sushi. I wanted, in short, a sort of rainbow roll... so I had to essentially order a cali roll and separate (fresh, not conveyor belt) pieces of fish... salmon, mackerel, ahi, and yellowtail I believe... and some extra avocado... My nori was not really working out--it was impossible to chew through, so I basically had to just let my roll fall apart (my mouth is small, but if the nori is prepared right, this is not an issue) and swallow in gulps. Mmm seaweed that is like recycled tires... yumm-o. Then the really bad thing that turned into a nightmare. MY FISH STANK. OK, if fish SMELLS, it is NOT fresh. Period. The salmon was clearly treated with some acid to try reducing amines... it didn't work, and the fishy funky smell was made even worse by the cover up (their salmon is very heavily dyed; ototo's is not--the most done to Ototo's is the carroty extract that makes it peacher, not red food coloring or beet juice extract to make it pop like it's wild, not Atlantic [I ordered both]... so they do NOT get the same stuff, kids! not to mention that sockeye and coho salmon... are easy to tell apart if you've actually gone out and caught some fish in your day, which this particular girl-not-from-this-urban-paradise has! Guess which one Sushiland uses, or do the sushi-is-sushi people on here even know there are 3 distinct grades of wild salmon commonly sold (and 5 total grades)?)... OK, I whined on the salmon for educational purposes. I'll be quicker with the others. The ahi tuna had the remains of freezer burn (tuna almost always has to be frozen to be sushi... in NC, that wasn't always the case because we literally cut the fish straight from the dock, but they did have a way to quickly rid it of the possible baddies with a crazy brine that hit way under zero degrees and flash "froze" stuff without deterioration). The yellowtail was fine, no real complaints except for everything it came with (including old ginger... I really prefer young ginger, the pink stuff that is pink because of the age of it, nottttt because of a dye... well, at least they didn't serve some old ginger that was dyed pink, I guess, to their credit!)... The mackeral... this one took the cake... how do I put this gently? I can't... it smelled like pubes. There. I said it. My fish... smelled like an unbathed filthy person who had come in contact with some really funky, genital-happy bacteria or yeast. Yeah. May as well have served it up with cottage cheese. Well, I didn't eat that one aside from a very tiny curious nibble that I spit out (didn't even try the salmon, though they charged me for everything!) Anyone want to take a guess what happened when I quickly retreated to the restroom? Yeah... Sushiland stayed in that part of Queen Anne. It never made it back with me. Too bad... the complimentary tea wasn't half bad (just bland, nothing to write home about)... Word to the wise: Save Sushiland for the strong-stomached, and do NOT go, I repeat do NOT go at any odd hour (we went just AFTER the lunch rush... I have a sad feeling someone took what I ate out, it didn't get eaten, and they put it back in the fridge... sanitation wasn't high there. I wanted to like it--hell, for under $10, who wouldn't??? Still, despite having a really awesome young girl for a waitress... I'll NEVER go back there.

    I am a HUGE fan of Sushiland. I am a vegetarian and do not eat fish but for a cheap filling meal Sushiland is my number one choice hands down! Edemame is amazing. And the Udon soup? DELICIOUS! Make sure to try it next time you're there!

    Once again, this restaurant has yet to completely deter me from being a repeat customer. Going to Marinepolis Sushi Land means that you are basically sacrificing some quality for quantity, but even then it seems that you would be spending over ten dollars per a person for every visit anyhow. Our group went during lunch on a weekday and there was not a wait to be seated, but that also meant that a lot of the dishes on the conveyor belt had been circling for quite some time prior to our arrival. The salmon and seared salmon nigiri is always a safe bet, but it seems that the eel nigiri has gone down in quality compared to our last visit. It seems that the pieces are cut quite thin and are rather dry though that may be the reason that they give you eel sauce at the table. In any case, it looked unappetizing even for a huge fan of eel such as myself. In addition to that, after about ten plates each, we realized that our waiter never came by to refill our water. Service seemed lacking overall and the quality has become mediocre, but the price would probably convince me to come back again though probably at another location.

    as much as people think it's just "meh" here. i extremely like this place. fun for groups, dates, families, etc. it's not so overbearing and scary... plus, it's a wonderful occasion to bring all your VIRGIN-SUSHI friends along. why? - they can pick and choose which dish they think is edible for them - you have a viewing pleasure, which many people like "seeing" something before consuming. - they have vegetarian-friendly dishes, custom-made dishes, cream puffs - they can just drink beer instead of eating something scary. it's great fun and a cool atmosphere. you'll often see your friends randomly in there and join them at the table. you don't need a wait-staff... just good company. i honestly would recommend this place to people who don't want the posh-ness of Blue C sushi or something- but still want the conveyor-belt experience. cheap sushi + good friends= a good 'ol time for you and your wallet.

    When I want cheap but good sushi, I usually go to Genki (which is amazing). But in this case, Genki Sushi was packed from there 1$ day and I thought, hmmm why not try Sushi Land? It had the conveyor belt like Genki so my boyfriend and I decided to try it. We had to wait 30 minutes to sit, which was okay but I was starving by the time we were seated. I was so excited to start eating but nothing appealing was coming my way. To keep an open mind, I kept trying many things hoping for something I would enjoy. After 20$ worth of food (both my boyfriend and I) I couldn't stand it anymore. It felt like the Dennys of sushi. It was all stale looking and tasting and the service was terrible. The plates even had the washed over price tags on them still. On the walk to the car, my boyfriend threw up on the sidewalk. True story. Disgusting. Guess I will stick to what I know: good, cheap, fast sushi at Genki.

    The sushi here isn't particularly special, but it isn't trying to be. For the most part, the people who work there are generally nice, greeting you as you enter and as you leave in Japanese. Sometimes when you order something not on the belt, it can take a while and few reminders, but it's not that big a deal considering this place can get really packed. It's a fun place to go hang with friends and you can choose what you want and how much you want. And the best part, is it's cheap sushi that tastes pretty decent!

  • Sara G.

    I'd give this place 3 stars for the actual food - they get an extra star for the conveyor belt and cheap prices. The food is not the same quality as you would get at a nicer/more expensive sushi place and the portions are noticeably smaller. On the flip side, you are paying a LOT less. But, if you want to eat an absurd amount of sushi for little money, this is the place to go. The service isn't attentive or fawning, but again, you get what you pay for. On the flip side, they're not bugging you to leave so they can turn over your section of the counter -- it's a good place to go with friends to actually have some conversation with your sushi. I particularly like conveyor belt sushi for the spontanaity -- you're not left wishing you ordered what the people at the next table are having, because if you want it, it'll come around in a minute. You can order specific items off a menu, but if I wanted to do that, I'd go to a higher quality sushi restaurant. If you want quality sushi nearby and are willing to pay for it, there's Blue C in Fremont, or a lovely lovely place on 1st a few blocks south of Denny on the west side of the street whose name I can't remember....

  • Stephanie H.

    I love Sushi Land! You really can't find cheaper sushi anywhere else. However, you get what you pay for. This isn't fancy sushi, but it still tastes delicious. There's often a long wait during weekends, so be prepared. My only complaint is that service is kind of slow and not very attentive.
