Sushi Kaunta | A Hidden Gem for Affordable Sushi in South Seattle
Our recent visit to Sushi Kaunta in Kent, WA offered a refreshing take on Seattle's sushi scene. Here's our honest review of this reservation-only Japanese eatery: 📍 Location & Ambiance: • Cozy, clean space in Kent (perfect for intimate meals) • Entirely reservation-based (check Instagram for opening slots） • We nearly had the place to ourselves on a weekday afternoon！ 💫 The Dining Experience: 📝 Pre-Visit Notes: • $35 deposit required per person when booking • Must pre-order entire meal in advance • Chose this spot for its promising online photos and reasonable prices 🍱 Our Sushi Journey: 1️⃣ Premium Kaisen Don ($65) • Half-size portion still generous • Medium and fatty tuna slices were sweet and fresh • Scallops and salmon roe were solid choices • Some fish lacked expected sweetness, slightly over-salted 2️⃣ Chef's Choice Sashimi Small ($39) • Similar to the donburi experience • Again, some pieces showed excessive sauce masking freshness 3️⃣ Ama Ebi Nigiri ($5/piece) • Sweetness matched its price point • Not the most premium uni, but not disappointing 4️⃣ Ika Nigiri ($4.5/piece) • Chewy texture (personal preference varies） • Citrus-yuzu pepper seasoning added uniqueness 5️⃣ Uni Gunkan ($12/piece) • Hokkaido uni delivered true sweetness • Still detected some sauce saltiness 6️⃣ Kani Gunkan ($7/piece) • Real crab meat with honest flavor • Good value for the price #SeattleSushi #SushiKauntaReview #AffordableSushi #JapaneseFoodSeattle #SouthSeattleEats #SushiLovers #HiddenGem #DateNightIdeas #FoodieAdventures #AsianCuisine
