Koibito Sushi and Teriyaki — Restaurant in Seattle

I don't know if Koibito is a franchise or not, but I've been to two other Koibitos and they were so much better than this location. Normally, if I ask for a special roll, any other sushi place I've ever been to has no problem making it. They had a shrimp & veggie tempura roll. I asked nicely if I could get it with just veggies and no shrimp. The server very rudely said no before I even finished my sentence. Even if he had said, "Sorry, we can't do that." I would have understood, but just a gruff NO was really off putting. Not only that, but we waited an HOUR for cucumber rolls. Basically the simplest thing you could order. No apologies for the wait or anything. Just tossed our food in front of us, and that was it. I will stick with the Koibito in Olympia. They are extremely friendly there, and will make whatever you want with no problem. Even when it's been busy there, they've been super nice about it, and always say goodbye and thank you...

The items are very well packaged, as we often order lunch to go, and the service is excellent. The reception is always warm and the owners are very generous. This is one of the neighborhood spots we frequent once a week because it is reliably good and we appreciate the...

This business seems now to only be open on weekdays serving the SoLkUnion tech crowd. Their website is incorrect in the posted hours. Do not trust everything you read on the Internet. Their non-open hours are their loss as they were not able to experience my gratitude and thereby platitudes. Their loss. Do not be fooled, if they are not open how is one able to experience their food and service to be able to write a review? Do not go.... Addendum, 22 March 2025: It seems that Google, or the community, has corrected the opening hours of this venue. 11:00 to 21:00 weekdays only. Open for the SoLkUn M-F weekday tech bros, women need not expect any service (or status) in this Musk/Trump/Vance world. Bros,...
