Koharu Japanese - Federal Way

Best sushi I had offered in very long time, maybe even ever. nice selection of rolls. everything was fresh and well done. roll are on the great size so they are a good value for the price. service was amazing, very friendly and attentive staff. fast in and out while I'm never rushed. beautiful, clean, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

Delicious food, reasonable prices, and excellent service. All around a better experience than I have ever had at the big-name chain Sushi restaurant across the 99. So if you find yourself trying to decide between the two, pick this one.

This place is always the best most authentic place for sushi in my humble opinion! The fish is fresh which is the most important the place is clean the servers are super sweet very tentative to all your needs. Try this like place out, it’s hidden back in the corner so you might miss it!

Decently maintained establishment with quick service, excellent hospitality, and large entrees which complimented the pricing.Opinion:Initially, I was skeptical about the establishment due to the higher prices for simple dishes. My sentiment didn't get much better after I left to wash my hands and noticed that a portion of the men's restroom was used as a storage or closet space. Also that the lighting appeared dim giving it an odd vibe.Returning to the table, we decided to over order since we were unsure of the portions and were afraid that food would be grossly overpriced, but to our shock, the food arrived extremely fast and the portions were well worth the pricing.Everything that we ordered tasted great, my only qualms were that (1) my poke bowl had too much lettuce and onions which I couldn't help but to think was to simply fill the bowl, (2) that the poke bowl probably should've come with a side of seaweed salad instead of lettuce salad since it already came with a healthy portion of it, and (3) that most menu items came with krab meat, or imitation crab, which is a bit of a turn off since it seems to lack authenticity.The breakdown of each category is as follows...Atmosphere:Excellent design and layout. The artwork, music, and aesthetics made for a very welcoming environment and complemented the style very nicely. Though, I do feel like the restrooms are due for an upgrade in lighting and style.Service:The staff was friendly, warm, and very aware of the needs of the customer. If we ever finished an item then they were there to clear the table of empty dishes without disrupting our meal.Food:Though the food may appear pricey, it's actually reasonable given the large quantity of meat that you are given in each roll. Don't be offset by the words 2 pieces in reference to the quantity of meat in each roll their two pieces are large, trust me on that one. To reiterate, we over ordered due to not understanding that the prices are high because they are double the portions that you would get anywhere else.I do feel like they tried to fluff up the poke bowl with lettuce, which was a bummer, but it did still have quite a bit of salmon in it, so I wasn't too upset.Also, I must note the food arrives extremely fast which is a huge bonus.Overall:It's a nice establishment, but the menu items aren't something that I will want to revisit often. I'll give it 4 stars since the food and service made up for the price, but I would like to see the few adjustments mentioned in my review before I ever think about a 5 star. But, with that said, I would still recommend Koharu to anyone who asks for a solid Japanese restaurant in the area.

Found them through reviews on google and by far the best service, experience and quality of sushi I’ve ever had! Not the most extravagant restaurant but very authentic and natural Japanese vibes. Loved my combo poke bowl. One thing I like the most is that they separated the rice from the rest of the ingredients which ensures me they give fair portions. Spicy tuna roll and the Seattle Roll was just as good!
