Best sushi I've had in this area for sure is Sam's Sushi. No fancy name like 'Harusame' but good food and service.Sam's space isn't too big or too small which is nice, there is table and booth seating is available. Waitresses came right over with menus and water despite it being a pretty busy weeknight for this visit.In addition to eat in, take out seems to be quite popular here seeing bags and bags lined up on a table with customers and probably door dashers coming in often.To start I got the Yakitori - it's a pair of chicken skewers. Pretty good.How about the sushi? The Tiger roll - was very good and was kind of warm as I think it's prepared. Contains tempura salmon, shrimp, crab, avocado, cucumber, sprouts, drizzled with teriyaki sauceHad a few pieces of The King Kong roll - barbeque eel with crab meat, tempura shrimp, mixed green, with tobiko and eel sauceNegihama maki (yellowtail) was the only real let down here. Very inconsistent with actual bits of 'meat' in some of the rolls.Despite that, Sam's is good and ready to go back next sushi time.

Our first visit to Sam's & we'll definitely be back. Friendly service & our sushi came out so fast! Chose 4 rolls & they were all delicious. My only issue (possibly unique to me) is that per our Server, all the rolls with "mixed crab" contain imitation crab which I'm allergic to. I'm glad I asked because 3 of our 4 rolls in our original order would've ruined the rest of my night. Other than that we had a lovely experience, tasty food, nice display, clean restaurant, back again soon.

I was here for a take out order. The ambiance is okay nothing special really . The food though I think was good enough for the price. The order was very quick which was nice.

Great food, cilantro in many of the rolls is an interesting choice but works well. Try the Best Friend Roll!

My go-to sushi spot in Ballard! Reasonably priced, great quality, and reliable. My favorite roll I've tried so far is their Dynamite roll.

Have been here a handful of times for work lunches. The food is great and the service is always friendly and quick. I would definitely reccomend Sam's for anyone who enjoys a nice sushi lunch or dinner. The restaurant is quaint and in a great location. Defiantly try it if you are in the mood for sushi!

Had this sushi spot on my list to try for quite a while since it is very close to my place. Glad to say that it was enjoyable. I had heard their fish has improved over the years and while I can't comment on how it used to be, I though the quality this time was very good.The only downside I have is their appetizers and soups are a bit on the pricey side. Other sushi spots even give you free salad and miso soup to start, but not here.However, the highlight of the meal is the sushi so no disappointment there. I ordered the King Kong roll since I love anything with eel sauce on it. It was very filling and tasty. I also tried some of the other sushi ordered for the table and enjoyed it.Looking forward to a return visit here!

Great service, fresh and delicious sushi. Personal preference would be more roll options that aren't friend or with tempura...
