SuBI Japanese Restaurant

Richard Ellis

A lot of 4-5 star ratings but really curious as to why. This place isn’t truly a “Japanese” restaurant with many Korean items on the menu. That’s usually an immediate indicator it’s not “Japanese!” Also, the head sushi chef wasn’t trained IAW traditional Japanese acceptable sushi standards, not to mention a few “amateurs” behind making nigiri and makis. The sushi was definitely not fresh and all the raw fish was room temperature - a bit concerning. They do have a few more variety of sushi so that’s a plus but the medium and full fatty toro was way below standards and hard to eat. For the two of us, it cost 190$ - not the most expensive but more then we would usually pay for subpar sushi. The customer service was FANTASTIC and definitely was the best part. We tried it because of the 4+ rating …. I have to honestly say, they get this rating as most Americans have little clue what “good and great sushi” is! Worst part, the quality of rice was of low grade. 3 stars and likely will never return!

Food was delicious and portions generous, fish was super fresh and the Gochujang had a nice kick to it.

A good size Japanese restaurant with plenty of seatings inside. Due to COVID restriction, it's take out only at the moment. The restaurant does not have outdoor seating as it's in the strip mall building complex but the complex itself has outdoor garden where you could eat your sushi if you don't want to eat it inside your car. Plenty of choices in the menu, my avocado and eel roll was good size and yummy. Plenty of parking available and it's a few blocks from most of the shops and a couple of miles from the ferry dock.

This was a destination restaurant for me and my coworkers, as we enjoy the night playing tourists in Seattle. We took the ferry over to Winslow, and it was a quick cab ride up the hill to Subi. We had a reservation, and since we were early we had to wait a few minutes for our table. Soon we were sitting near the front of the crowded dining room, it was definitely a busy Friday night. Our friendly waitress took the drink orders, and quickly returned with our selections. A group ordered everything from Sashimi to rolls to Ramen, with a couple of salads and of course miso soup as well. All was very good! Test the freshness you would expect at a good sushi place. The prices were a bit high, but then again Winslow is a little more upscale of a place and it is on an island. Enjoyed my hot sake, assorted tuna nigiri, Hamachi, and roll. If you go, get there early enough to give yourself time to explore the cute little town before you head back to the ferry.
