This review, unfortunately, is being submitted a little later and not as detailed as I usually do. A lot has happened recently in my life, and time wasn't there!
Hubby took me to dinner at Yamazaki Sushi and Steak for my birthday (9/27). This restaurant was recommended to me by an employee at our local hospital.
This restaurant is known for its large variety of sushi, hence the name, with few other options to choose from; although having minimal choice, there was enough selection for us to pick dinner.
As a starter, we had Fried Seafood Cream Cheese Gyoza. The only thing we regretted about this appetizer was the lack of not having a lot more of it! Cream cheese, crab meat, shrimp, corn, celery, and cheddar cheese fill these six yummy little gyozas; although six gyozas are included in this appetizer, I could have devoured many more!
Onward bound to our main dishes. I had Chicken Yakisoba, and hubby had Sukiyaki Steak. I enjoyed my Chicken Yakisoba with the veggies. There was a definite background taste of smoke that was a little hard to get past at times, but generally, the meal was good and overall tasty. But, my hubby's Sukiyaki Steak was so tasty; the teriyaki sauce I wouldn't say was spicy like they claim; nonetheless, the flavors were deep and flavorful and left us wanting more!
But for anyone interested or who wants sushi or sashimi, this may be a great place to try. They offer many choices, from a basic California roll to some of their more exotic-sounding rolls like an Amazing roll, Kurama roll, Eel Cucumber roll, or maybe a classic Maki combo. Their Kitsap Lake fried rolls, Volcano rolls, and Seattle rolls sound divine to me, and although being fried, which we try and avoid, at some point, I may have to try those, or at least one of those lol.
My qualm would be that there were no tables with chairs, only booths and counter seating were available. Although I didn't sink down as much while sitting in this booth as I do most, I did feel short trying to eat my food. My most significant complaint was that the music was so loud, almost unbearable. To hold a one-to-one conversation, both parties would have to raise their voice to an uncomfortable level of talking just so the other party could hear you. Luckily, halfway through our meal, the music was lowered to an acceptable level; I guess another patron said something.
The restaurant was clean, with no sticky floors, tables or menus. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall we would go back.
Anyone interested in trying Yamazaki Sushi and Steak can find them next to the Safeway in East Bremerton. 1405 Northeast McWilliams Road in Bremerton, Washington.
I hope you all have a remarkable Fall! Thank you for being so committed to supporting locally owned small businesses, and please remember, be kind to ALL...
Read moreOverall Rating: 4/5 (8.5 of 10) The auntie and uncle that run this spot are true gems. I've been here numerous times and havent thought to review them. We decided to dine in the other night and we ordered several dishes, as well as 3 sushi rolls. For apps we got the crunchy salmon skin, inari (4 pieces), miso soup, geso karrage and green tea. Let's start by saying, the service and atmosphere is always amazing here. Friendly, polite, and prompt staff. The salmon skin is one of our favorite apps, the geso is my boyfriends favorite, I'm not a huge fan of squid but I actually like this version of it. Miso soup is a easy staple. The inari was good our favorite was the seared salmon, and the king. We ordered two others but they were just kinda boring. Not bad, boring. As for the rest of the meal, our server accidentally served us the wrong three sushi rolls, but she of course said we could keep those and she brought us what we ordered! Top notch service. Our rolls were good, but again the seared salmon roll we got (Mr. Chen) was the best of the 3. We weren't big fans of the 3 rolls we accidentally got, but nothing to hold against the restaurant as we didn't order them lol. Last entree to talk about is the Beef Curry! Absolutely amazing flavor, huge protion, it was enough for 3. For dessert we ordered a strawberry taiyaki to share, but they accidentally brought us mochi. We were told to keep that while we waited for our taiyaki. Mochi was delicious, and so was the taiyaki. All in all, we ate too much, and basically rolled out of there. I'll always recommend this spot! Also this time they were trying dimsum as the owners want to open a dimsum location in town as we dont have one yet. We tried the soup dumplings, they had phenomenal flavor, just wish it had a...
Read moreThis sushi restaurant is a hidden gem in the West Bremerton area.
Located inside of a shopping center, Yamazaki is a little restaurant slot that is set to cure your sushi hankering. Their sushi is delicious and well accommodating, so much so that you can even ask the sushi chefs for an item not offered on the menu and they will try to make it for you. Yamazaki offers mainly sushi and/or Asian dishes but does offer some prime cut steaks. They also offer a healthy amount of Asian adult beverages for people of the correct age. Though they offer a bountiful amount of food, they do not charge an obsurd amount of money for their entrées. Is it cheap? That's subjective. However, it affordable? Yes.
The restaurant is a rectangle with the kitchen and sushi bar on one side and the other side is tables/booths for the customers to eat and enjoy their food. The service is polite, easy going, and knowledgeable. They waitresses are very efficient at collecting orders, delivering food, and cleaning up discarded dishes while you dine-in at the Yamazaki restaurant. In terms of dining, you cna obviously do dine-in and order out, however there are no opportunities for outdoor dining. The parking is shared with other businesses in the shopping center however there are plenty of parking and should not be a concern when trying to park.
Overall, if you are feeling adventurous and looking for a new'ish (opened in 2021) sushi restaurant in the Bremerton area do not hesitate to try out Yamazaki...
