Sushi Niwa — Restaurant in Lakewood

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sushi Nawi in Lakewood, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is inviting and modern, creating a perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making sure every need is met promptly.

The sushi itself is absolutely top-notch. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the presentation is both artistic and appetizing. I highly recommend trying their signature rolls, especially the Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll—they are bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. The miso soup and tempura appetizers are also delightful and set the stage for the main course beautifully.

Overall, Sushi Nawi offers a dining experience that is both memorable and satisfying. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or new to the cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit for its quality, service,...

Show-stopping Chef Sam does it again!

I hadn't been to Sushi Niwa in ages. My busy life has only upped in the ante, but tonight, I decided to treat myself to some wonderful sushi.

The sashimi salad is GREAT! The slices were substantial and delicately draped over a bed of spring mix. And the fish was SO FRESH! I haven't had as fresh of fish anywhere else. The quality and very, very reasonable price can't be beat!

My family came here today soley based on the reviews here...we were all highly disappointed. If you are looking for high quality sushi ie: Sapporo(Fife), Tokyo(Federal Way) or TheKOI(Tacoma) then do not go here. If you are looking for food court quality sushi, then this is your place. Fish was pale and mushy and had an odd flavor...not enough wasabi to kill the taste. The miso on the other hand was really good(which was the only thing that elevated this to 2stars) The low price wasn't worth it(it was so bad we didn't finish the rolls we got, and my husband's gag reflex was kicking in, which was a first that I've seen in the 7 years we've been together)...we wish we would have gone somewhere else...anywhere else...and paid the extra 2-5 dollars more per roll. Still boggles my mind how this got such a...
