Oh man J Sushi is so good! They play terrible music though! The first time I was there I was like, hey they already played this Coldplay song already. I realized the mix they were playing was on a loop, featuring Dave Matthews, Train, Coldplay, bleh. I didn't let it ruin the experience but the second time I went THE EXACT SAME MIX WAS PLAYING. Now I get my sushi to go.

Dave is Seattle's new king of sushi. His following is devoted and well-earned.

conversate!

Fujiya (Dave's uncle's place in Tacoma) is off the hook good. They have a number of non menu items like the 69 roll that are awesome (roll with tempura shrimp covered with raw scallop and finally flying fish roe). If Dave's from this clan I am soooo going to get my ass in here pronto!

Very tasty, reasonably-priced food, and Dave really knows how to chat up the customers.

Had a pretty bad experience when I went there recently, but the fish was obviously super high quality so I'm willing to give them another chance. Could have been an off night. Also anyone know how to delete a restaurant review once you've posted it? I accidentally posted one twice for this place.

@4: Second that -- Fujiya is great! I'm definitely going to have to check out Super Dave's place now.

I just have to share because I'm so traumatized. WARNING: it has nothing to do with this article.
But the last time I had sushi at an UNNAMED place because I love these people and shit happens, there was a GIANT black,wiry hair in under and sticking up one of the pieces. It was the sweet egg one. I am having a hard time thinking about sushi now but I might check out SuperDave

@6: The webpersons will get your duplicate reader-review deleted. Sorry to hear about the disappointment—I'm guessing it might take Super Dave and the J-Sushiers a little while to adjust to having the sushi bar full plus tables to deal with, as the place was quite underpopulated every time I went in the course of writing this article. Go early and sit at the bar next time!

Sad to hear Shiro is getting out of the game. I sat at the bar with him working back in 2007 while visiting Seattle. He hooked it up and brought out the tastiest treats. Might have to checkout this new guy next time I'm in town.

Super-Dave is unbeatable... In all my worldly travels tasting sushi, nothing comes close to Dave.

Love to hear everyone is raving about "super-dave" but he is a thief! I have worked in the industry with him. The stranger should do more research on a featured chef! This article really disappointed me. The only reason I knew about this article is because other ex-coworkers/ex-friends were upset to see him. Honestly, I am suprised to see any restuarant wanting to work with him since he has burned so many bridges in this industry. Dave has questionable ethics. Don't let his aloha style deceive you!

Try I love sushi on lake Bellevue you'll forget about super Dave. I had his sushi at seastar restaurant before and I thought some beginner amigo made it...he might be better now, but there are plenty of other great sushi chef in Wa.
