Don’t Miss Out on These 3 Sushi Restaurants in Burien

Sushi is a staple in the Pacific Northwest, and Burien has its fair share of sushi-lovers. But where do they go for the best sushi in Burien? At Burien Chevrolet, we love sushi as well and these are our top 3 sushi restaurants in town.

Sushi Maki

Sushi Maki is arguably the most popular sushi restaurant in Burien, but you wouldn’t know it from its outward appearance, or even at first glance when you walk in the door. This unassuming storefront hides a treasure-trove of delicious Japanese cuisine. Their specialty is rolls and you can find the traditional rolls, such as California and Rainbow, as well as their own unique sushi roll creations.

For those who love sushi, however, this is where Sushi Maki steps up their game. The maguro, nigiri, and hamachi are all fan favorites, made from the freshest ingredients possible. Even inexperienced sushi connoisseurs enjoy the buttery taste and texture of their salmon. Be sure to enjoy a cold, imported Japanese beer with your dinner at this affordable Burien sushi spot.

Oishi Sushi

While Sushi Maki focuses on the finer foods prepared for later meals, you’ll find lunchtime specialties at Oishi Sushi. With a unique blend of traditional with contemporary, much like Burien itself, you’ll find bento boxes and fresh ramen served alongside their delicious sushi. Oh, and you can’t forget the miso soup, a local favorite that has many customers coming back.

The restaurant space is small, so you’ll want to call ahead, especially if you have a large party. On busy nights, you may need to wait a bit for your food. However, once it gets to your table or you’ve gotten home with your to-go order, you’ll realize the wait was worth it. Oishi Sushi chefs take the presentation of your sushi order seriously and, in addition to a plate of sushi, you get a plate of artwork.

Wabi-Sabi

The name of this Burien sushi restaurant was inspired by a type of Japanese art that focuses on the elegance found in natural simplicity. The chefs here keep to that philosophy when preparing not only some of the best sushi in Burien but also their bento boxes and udon dishes.

The atmosphere in the dining room is intimate and cozy while still a prime example of the natural and simple elegance that Wabi-Sabi emulates in their food. For them, a meal isn’t just about nourishment of the body, but also the soul, and it’s evident as soon as you walk in the door.

Whether you have reservations at Sushi Maki as a date with your significant other or you just want to go somewhere unique and fun for a lunch-time meeting, arriving there in style is important. After all, sushi is an elegant food. Burien Chevrolet has a vast inventory of vehicles, so stop by and choose the one you’ll take to your favorite sushi bar next time. Then stop by after to let us know how great the sushi was, or better yet, bring some for us to try, too!
