Sushi heaven found: Musashi's Sushi on 45th St in Wallingford. Just had dinner there Sat night, and the fairly long wait was well worth it - huge chunks of sashimi for under $1 a piece, and massive slabs of sushi (so big, they were cut into thirds) for under $2 each. The rolls were tasty, with a balance of fish and rice.
The restaurant serves delicious miso soup as well. The menu is short, simple and the fish is incredibly fresh and tasty.
I highly recommend Musashi for sushi in Seattle.

I'm curious as to why someplace like Todai is acceptable, but the boat places aren't?
My favorite sushi is Tuna House in Bellevue.
iSushi in Issaquah (near Costco) has pretty decent stuff...but its a boat place. I was skeptical my first trip, but was pleasantly surprised.

2) Benihana has there AYCE WEEKDAY lunch buffet that we mentioned. But here's a secret but promise not to spread it around, OK. From after Thanksgiving to around Christmas they will also have their yummy sushi buffet on Saturday for lunch. Quality is excellent but the seating space is very small.

1) For what you were spending on your buffet ($35 each) it really does not surprise me or anyone else on here.

Is this a buffet presentation, or a sit-down-and-order all you can eat? At the true Endless Sushi locations, you sit at the sushi bar and order from the sushi chef, so everything is made fresh on the spot, rather than picked up off a table.Truth be told, after discovering Masushi, I'm not sure I could ever consider AYCE again in the Seattle area. For less than $20, I can eat more sushi and sashimi in one sitting there than I could handle at a buffet for 50-70% more money....and the fish is so fresh, you can almost still hear the heartbeat.

Sorry, I did not see this until now. No, you do not sit at a sushi bar but yes it is fresh. The sushi is made by a true sushi chef and placed on a platter which is quickly depleted. I really thought it was an excellent value but it is nice you found something for $20.
