If you are in a bind, this place is totally fine for a low-fi sushi experience. It's nothing better than you would get from a Safeway grocery counter . Service is good , ambiance is kid friendly casual

Locally owned, conveyor belt sushi restaurant, serving up a variety of Japanese inspired dishes including a decent selection of different seafood, including toro. Located in Bellevue, WA, Sushi Me is a medium size restaurant where the sushi chefs are in the middle of the oval-shaped conveyor belt, constantly making sushi while hungry diners grab what they want as different colored plates rotate around. My daughter and I came for a NYE lunch and the inside was about half full. Comparing it to Kura Sushi, there are similarities and differences: Similarities: -- Sushi that goes around a conveyor -- various different rolls were the majority, most very colorful, and coming in either sets of two to four slices. -- you can order things not on the conveyor like hand rolls and hot noodle soups. I ordered the hot seafood udon soup ($10), which had plenty of seafood...it was excellent, though small (makes sense considering the price) -- The total price adds up quick. Differences: -- the chefs are at the center and visible here, unlike at Kura where they are in the back. -- All seating is bar-type. There were no booth type seating, which would have allowed more people to dine concurrently. - custom sushi with unique names: "Bellevue Roll", "Seahawks Roll", "Seattle Roll". -- special orders must be placed with the server when they can come around. And it did seem short-staffed, so it was infrequent. At Kura, everything is done through a kiosk at every table, and -- delivered by conveyor belt. All custom was delivered to you directly by the chef or server. -- unlike Kura where every plate is the same color, here it is different prices: ranging from $3, all the way to $9 per plate, with the vast majority being $5.50. -- one dish I loved was the deep fried calamari...very reasonable for $5.50, and one option was a dish just of deep fried squid tenacles, which I thought was awesome. -- the hand rolls were not as good (or as big), here, even for a higher price. I tried the kimchi handroll for $5.50, and it was just sushi rice with sour kimchi wrapped in nori. disappointingly overpriced, and not worth getting again. The salmon handroll had a lot of salmon, but so-so quality. I thought the sushi tasted better than what I've had at Kura, and the noodle soup was definitely better. But it's also quite a bit more expensive, and while we both filled up, the total was over $80 for the two of us, including tip.

The food was delicious! Every plate we had. The Salmon was my favorite! Everyone was really kind & checking in on us. Fantastic service! Very well kept place. Clean & spacious. We loved their music selection!

I have eaten here 17 times in the last 4 mo according to my credit card so you would think at some point the waitstaff would act like they recognize me or that my order is familiar since I order the exact thing every time. So that is odd, especially since I am super friendly. So kudos to Sam who finally proactively brought me an item that I literally ask for every single time. I have also noticed that he is the only person who consistently is hustling and working quickly, yet thoroughly, to help customers and clean up different areas. Most of the servers there seem to be moving rather slowly and many times not available when we need them and not even visible. I'm not sure where they are or what they're doing. Strangely, the most difficult thing to do there is actually pay the bill. If they happen to be in the area, it's extremely hard to get their attention. None of them seem to really ever be looking around at people in general to see if anyone has a need or to see if anyone is looking around for waitstaff. So I would say service is my biggest pet peeve about the place. They are pleasant but have the issues I said. The food is always consistently good whether you like sushi or soup. It is conveyor style but you can also order whatever you want if you prefer to do that. There is at least one chicken dish and maybe two that are teriyaki. They do have avocado rolls and cucumber rolls if you don't like fish. They do have tamari sauce if you are gluten-free and cannot have soy sauce. So as long as you are fine with a service experience I explained above, you will enjoy the food. in terms of sushi for the entire Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland area, it's some of the best you can get and the price point is just right. My sushi-loving friends would agree When you arrive, if there is a wait, you sign yourself in on the waitlist using their iPad. The waiting area inside is very small and seats about four adults. There is a large waiting area outside but it is not covered. Overall, I would recommend it and I am sure others would as well based on how busy it gets around eating times .

Food: the sushi here is really good! The filling/rice ratio is great! My fave here is the tofu, seared salmon, and literally all the ngiri. My husband likes the beer. The sushi is also priced good, especially for Bellevue area! Service: the staff here is so nice! They're so attentive. My water is always filled and it's rare that I have to wait to order even on busy days! Ambiance: it's casual. Great place to watch up with friends or date night with the hubby. This is also my daughter favorite mommy and daughter dinner place. She'll order at least 5 plates of salmon ngiri which is her go to!

We went to Sushi Me on a Tuesday evening around 6pm and waited about 25 minutes for a party of 2. I thought the food was pretty good for conveyor belt sushi. Portions are typical and prices are fine. Not the most affordable option for sushi, but with costs rising everywhere, it's to be expected. We spent about $40 per person. As the restaurant was full, the food on the belt was decently fresh which was nice. We ordered some nigiri with the server and my favorites were the salmon belly and seared scallop. Overall, a good spot to satisfy a sushi craving!
