KAMINO SUSHI AND MORE — Restaurant in Seattle

The plug from the air conditioner pulled loose when I opened the door. So my first impression of this restaurant was getting smacked in the face by a super heavy plug swinging down into my cheek. Luckily it was the flat side. If it had been the prong end, I probably would have needed stitches. Or worse, if it had hit my eye. The person working spoke so little English that he didn't even respond beyond nodding when I told him he needed to tape the plug up so it wouldn't fall on people.

The Burmese curry was OK, but I'm suspicious they dumbed it way down for me. It was very mild, both in spice and spiciness. Really unique, though. It was like a cross between a haystack and Tsukemen (Japanese dipping noodles). It's just a shame that they skimped on the flavor.

Oh, and the assaulting my face thing. Not a great first impression, unfortunately. It's a real shame. The last place (Vietnamese) also had reasonable food, but atrocious service. I was really hoping the change of hands would turn things around. No such luck,...

The selections were geared towards more mixed Asian cuisine than just sushi, and there were a couple problems with our food: my driving partners' miso soup was not warm when it came out, and there was seaweed salad (made with sesame seeds and oil) with my sashimi platter order even though I had told the server I was allergic to sesame. They remade the soups and the sashimi platter, and the second time around everything was quite good. The service was friendly, at least, but I wouldn't necessarily go there looking for robust...

Did only tried the sushi and it was definitely fresh, but it seems like the knives used on it were also used in the kitchen? The salmon and avocado in it had a strong onion flavor (the roll did not have any); the flavors and quality are good to medium. I would like to recommend to be more strict with separating the areas and avoiding cross “contamination” of the ingredients. The place is a little old but lovingly decorate and kept. Will return in the future...
