Tengu Sushi Japanese Restaurant - Conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Seattle - 311 NE Thornton Pl, USA

Acceptable for quality and price it's as you expect for a chain strip mall type vibe. Good for casual meetings or kids. The atmosphere feels tight and squished and they only have about 5 booths in the back. The service is good, they could be more focused when someone says something or tries for their attention but no complaints here.

Last time I was here was 3 years ago! Google let us know it would be a 30min late, so it was not surprising when that was true. We had a pleasure of looking at the menu as we waited and we ordered everything we wanted. Great prices, the $15 rolls section is to DIE for! The sushi tower was flipping incredible, beautifully designed. It was worth it. Never had I drunk the beer before but it did the trick! Treat ourselves!!!

Food is decent (when it's fresh. If they're slow it likely won't be) with tons of variety, though a little pricey for what you get. Biggest issue is the wait staff is very slow to unresponsive. Waited for like 10 minutes to even ask us what drinks we wanted and then only got the order for half of our party leaving the other half hanging until they could flag the server down again...

Sushi was alright, a bit on the pricey side for what you get. Service on the other hand was terrible. We got seated and didn’t have anyone check in on us for the first ten minutes. When we finally ordered, the waitress with short black hair and glasses interrupted us multiple times. Then, when we got our check, the same waitress rang us up and gave herself a 25% tip! We didn’t pick this option; she had charged us and gave us the screen to sign without showing us the screen with a tip option. We didn’t realize until we got the receipt, which showed she had given herself a $23 tip. We got it voided by another waitress (thank you!!) but just be warned to check how much you’re paying before you leave.

The sushi belt concept is neat, and pretty tough to beat! It's such fun to watch little portions of sushi rolls and desserts go round and round. Seating is bar-style, directly at the conveyer belt. Pricing is either by the plate, or per dish ordered from the full menu. Tengu has a HUGE list of vegetarian rolls, which is incredible! They're plated beautifully, too. We just found that each one could use a little more "punch" -- thus, the flavors were only a 4-star experience. It's still worth a try, though, even if only for the novelty of watching the sushi belt!

This is such a good place to get quick, fresh, good sushi. I’ve loved this place for years so I’m happy we had a chance to eat here during our recent visit to Seattle. When we lived in Seattle we would eat here regularly so I’m happy to see they are still around and the food is still tasty as ever. They have a wide selection on the belt and if you want more they have an excellent menu to order from.

Extremely good food. Some of the freshest fish I've had in a good long while. Reasonable prices for what you get. Will absolutely come back again.

Update; I still go here often and the service has really suffered lately. I go in, get seated, and then am completely ignored till I wave someone down, sometimes multiple times. There are never any vegetarian options on the belt anymore for some reason, I sat for 30 minutes and saw a single vegetarian plate. Not a single vegetarian OPTION, but a single plate with four pieces on it. It used to be a pretty good 75/25 split of seafood and vegetarian options. Ive now left here hungry twice, and I'm not sure if or when ill be back Old review, previously 5 stars: I went here for the first time about two weeks ago, and I've been three more times since. Absolutely amazingly fresh and tasty sushi, cheap prices, great service.
