Phenomenal meal and the prices were super fair. We got out the door feeding 3 people for ~ $135 after tax and tip (this included appetizers, soup, 3 rolls, udon & tempura, sashimi, and four bottles of sake). I would recommend the protein roll and udon without a second thought. Sashimi was excellent quality, as was everything found in our rolls. My one complaint is the gentleman serving us first seemed a bit disorganized. We didn't have soy sauce or sharing dishes at first, I think he forgot to bring our food, and he never cleared our dishes. The super nice waitress who helped us out the second half of our meal was outstanding and made up for that! All in all I would definitely recommend Ikina and will be back in the future. Oishii!

The caterpillar roll was delicious !! They were super kind, service a touch slow, but I think they were short on people the night went went. They were able to accommodate a last minute party of 10 reservation! Food was delicious, it's a smaller location, so cozy/homey feel. Had a wonderful time !

I was visiting from Vegas and found this spot with my friend. The fish tasted so fresh and was sliced beautifully. Everything was so tender it basically melted in my mouth. I miss this quality of sushi. The chef really knows his stuff! 👏👏 Couldn't have asked for a better lunch.

Love the food here. Atmosphere is like rock punk meets legit Japan sushi restaurant? Not necessarily the fanciest place but I don't come here for fancy. Consistently good sushi at a good value within quick walking distance of cap hill. And they didn't annoy me as I ate my lunch and listened to podcasts! 6 stars for that.

Wonderful homey neighbourhood spot for sushi and drinks. Relatively small with seating and sushi bar. We always sit at the sushi bar and order omakase from the sushi chef (if your sushi is getting made by a man with a Mickey Mouse watch then you’re set!). Fish is generally fresh and high quality (we had a slightly iffy fishy smelling uni once, but other than that it’s been great). Besides sushi they have various grilled and fried warm dishes (the grilled mackerel is a favourite) and also have sake, draft beer and other spirits.

This place is the best sushi on cap hill bar none. It is better, less expensive, and less crowded than momiji. The chefs are very knowledgeable and personable. I chatted with Jason who recommended my new favorite sashimi (kanpachi). From the rest of the menu I've only had the takoyaki but it was the best I've had in Seattle so if that is any indication it isnt only sushi and sashimi they do well. If you're looking for sushi on the hill this is where you need to go.

Really enjoyed ikina sushi for lunch Eaten dishes: pumpkin dumplings, karaage, chirashi bowl, crispy tofu. Of the 4, pumpkin dumplings were my favorite dish. Chirashi was a bit small at the price point but overall a good experience.

Sushi was okay. Wasn't mind blowing but not bad either. The Strawberry Mochi was awesome and I loved the presentation. I had the Momo and wasn't impressed with the California Rolls included. Gets an extra star for very attentive wait staff.

Super friendly staff! So polite and welcoming. They didn’t have sushi on the day I went, due to a staff emergency, but they did have handmade kabocha squash mascarpone dumplings that were to die for. I’m a vegetarian, so I went for the veggie udon soup. The broth was VERY flavorful (sometimes a problem for non-meat options). Umami was woven into every dish in delicate, thoughtful ways— from the sautéed mushrooms atop the dumplings to the udon broth to the dipping sauce for the tempura... everything was thoughtful and even elegant. Yum!!!
