Japonessa Sushi Cocina - Bellevue

Had delicious food and a wonderful visit with a friend over delicious food and drinks. Would have appreciated server asking/offering/explaining there were different sizes of items. We didn't know he didn't ask, just assumed upside so we ended up with more food and higher bill than expected.Food: 5/5

Best Sushi I ever had. I ordered Laughing Budha roll. The taste and presentation were beyond expectations. The cocktail The Sundress was refreshing and good. There are some vegetarian/vegan options that you can enjoy. Will definitely go again.Food: 5/5

Incredible sushi, sashimi, and rolls. A unique take on traditional ingredients with the inclusion of some non-traditional ones. Great place for a delicious meal when you're in the mood for sushi!Food: 5/5

My wife and I arrived for an early lunch Saturday, June 3rd. She had seafood sushi and I had sukiyaki beef with veggies and clear noodles in soup. First we had mixed tempura and after we had soufflé cheesecake with blueberry sauce.The food and service were both excellent. My soup was really a comfort food with tasty beef. The broth of her seafood udon was something special, really a culinary creation. YUM!That describes the super-light cheesecake as well, something unique!I am not a huge fan of tempura, but this dish was a learn-to-love experience. The light, crunchy breaded coating was delicious and the mysteries it hid were too, okra, sweet potato, mushroom, shrimp, etc.The servers were cordial, personable and quick.The atmosphere was too noisy for me, music was too loud. At least there was not a roaring crowd as in the downtown location. We were seated in the bar with a big-enough table and plenty of space for comfort and privacy.We were surprised to have such a treat of a luncheon with dessert for only $58.00.Parking in the basement of Lincoln Square was free all day. What a gift!This experience will draw us back from our home in the Admiral District. We habitually go to Southcenter, but this is actually closer and much, much nicer.Thank you, Japonessa.Parking: Plentiful and free indoor parking
