Amazing!!!!! Hands down the best sushi we have ever had. Not only is the sushi incredible, the fish the freshest you’ve ever had but the chef is a wizard behind the bar. To sit and pick his brain with all of his experience, watch him craft his rolls, making the sauces from scratch; it was the greatest overall experience we have ever had at a sushi establishment. There’s history, love and passion behind this restaurant that you can clearly see upon entering and throughout the dining experience.

Really phenomenal quality and the chef has the touch! Do yourself a favor and do chef’s choice. Went there for a quick lunch and will definitely be back!

In my opinion this is the one of the best sushi restaurants north of Clearview. TIP: The menu is limited but the chef is very talented. I posted pictures of what I have tried so far. I don't recall ordering much if anything from the menu. I asked for chefs choice and told him I like spicy rolls. If you want the best experience sit at the bar and order the rolls I have listed or ask for the chefs specials. Jay is the sushi chef he has a interesting history ask him to tell you about it. The only negative thing I have to say is the second time I was there the table top was sticky. I'm not going too knock points off this as it is still a far better experience than the belt located about a mile from here. Plus I told his crew to clean it and the problem was solved. Worth a try if you are in the area. UPDATE: Weekends are busy, Jay is the only chef so if you go during rush hour I suggest you order everything you want all at once. Otherwise you could end up waiting a long time between rolls.

Fantastic sushi!! High quality and the freshest fish! I asked the chef to make me whatever he wanted and he presented us with this gorgeous roll that had some exceptional sauce on top with salmon and such Umami!! Also can't go wrong with their other dishes but their sushi is exceptional! Been here several times and there are consistent

We're OBSESSED with Tokyo House! You wouldn't know it from the whole in the wall location, but Jae is an absolute sushi master. We've tried all the spots, truly the best place for sushi in Snohomish County. Our favorites are the 911 Roll, Rainbow , Blondie, Chef's Choice and Alligator roll. Worth the extra money and wait.

My first impression walking in is the soothing and relaxing environment. I ordered the beef teriyaki with fried rice, and it was extremely fresh and delicious! I will be back and bring my daughters to enjoy this amazing food.

No other sushi is good in snohomish county north of Bellevue except this place. Expect somewhat slow service, it is him and his wife only. Exceptional food and if you sit at the bar or even at a table close they are very friendly. I come here often and love this couple. Great people and awesome service. ...

Very clean and friendly. The Beef wasn’t the best quality (very thin & tough from being overcooked). The sushi was amazing though! We had 3 types of rolls but especially loved the alligator roll (eel) yum! Great service & atmosphere.
