Mejari Fusion Sushi

I had the veggie sushi delivered through Peach. AWESOME. Sometimes veggie sushi is just a side dish and isn’t satisfying as a main course, but this was a complete meal. YUM.

Mejari is by far my favorite sushi place in Seattle! They have a «3 rolls for $ 20» menu that is full of amazing flavors. I highly recommend Mejari to everyone I know who likes sushi. Many of their menu items are similar to Japonessa but less expensive and way better!

I have to admit — hearing «Japanese-​Mexican fusion» really made me hesitate to come here. But this place exceeded all my expectations! The service is wonderful — I got takeout late in the afternoon at the start of rush hour. They were very fast at getting my food out and even offered me a drink as I waited. The girl who took my order was very sweet and helpful.
The 3 for $ 20 deal is really great, and all the food was delicious. I will definitely be coming back and sending my friends.

Japanese x Mexican sushi? Yes please!
My first experience at Mejari Fusion confirmed my interest in returning to this awesome restaurant. Sushi can get expensive, which is why Mejari offers 3 rolls for $ 20, including specialty rolls! Imagine ordering three rolls that are $ 14 each. Get all three for $ 20. Great, great, deal. Mejari also offers all-​you-​can-​eat for $ 18.95. Someone pinch me.
The staff here are friendly and stop by frequently to refill beverages or assist with other guests’ needs. The owner (I failed to remember his name) is so lively and very entertaining! He was very knowledgeable about the items on the menu.
Need to order to-​go? You totally can!
If you’d like to drink some beer and watch the football game in an environment that is not too congested, they play the sports channel here.
You can also walk to Hello Robin! and Dick’s from here for a milkshake after your meal.
MEJARI FUSION SUSHI. GET ON THIS. NOW.

My experience is almost identical to Unilocal Reviewer Jay Y. (¹²⁄₂₀).
On Sunday, January 10, a friend and I were looking forward to trying out the new sushi restaurant that opened on the ave, Sushi Town. We headed over there at 11am and were saddened that because it was still their soft opening, they weren’t open for that day. We searched for other sushi joints in the area and decided to try out Mejari’s. We’ve had their sushi delivered before, but we haven’t dined in their restaurant yet.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed it was empty, which normally isn’t a good sign, but at open time on a Sunday morning during a Seahawks game, I guess that’s not quite abnormal. As we entered, we were greeted by the server, who made us immediately feel very welcome.
My friend and I have heard of their 3 rolls for $ 20 deal, so that’s what we were planning on doing, until our server said the magic words: «All you can eat.» That was a game changer for us as we’re obsessed with sushi. Our server said that with the $ 20 deal you only get 3 rolls, but with the all you can eat, which costs less than $ 20, you could have so much more! We opted for the all you can eat, of course.
He took out a small notepad and pencil and proceeded to take our order. The all you can eat menu includes great rolls and even nigiri! «Order all you like!» he said to us. «Make him (points to sushi chef) work!» As we waited for our first round of sushi, we had a craving for some miso soup. Without mentioning it to our server, he brings us two bowls of miso soup, which he tells us is on the house!
When the sushi was brought to our table, we were salivating. When I put the first piece of sushi in my mouth, it was so good, I had to close my eyes and go «Mmmm.» Three rounds of exceptionally delicious, fresh sushi later, and a victory for the Seahawks (Mejari’s has several flat-​screen TV’s that showed the game) made for a perfect lunch.
Our server returned to our table and quickly whipped out his notepad and pencil, eager to take our next order. My friend and I laughed. «We’re done. We’re so full!»
After we paid our bill and before we headed out, I did something I never do. I shook our server’s hand. That’s how impressed I was with everything. He was extremely fun and genuinely kind. I regret that I never got this name. But on my next visit, I’ll be sure to get it.
After the mediocrity that was Japonessa (beautiful sushi restaurant in downtown with just sub-​par sushi), we were very delighted with Mejari’s. Don’t let the old interior and emptiness of the restaurant dissuade you from dining here. The sushi and service was TOP NOTCH!
It was kismet. If Sushi Town had been open that day, we probably wouldn’t have discovered the greatness that is the Mejari’s dine-​in experience. Mejari’s will definitely be a restaurant that we will gladly frequent.
Sorry, Sushi Town.

We just had a surprise 18^th birthday party for my daughter last night. I cant say enough how i love this place! Thank you to the sushi chef, and everyone who had a part in making her day special for all of us. Especially Karen our server — You were amazing! You made us feel welcomed, were thoughtful and attentive, helping set up and accommodate our crazy table decorations– black table cloths, All Time Low pictures, red rose petals, snowflakes and a whole bunch of candy scattered everywhere– Busting your hump for all 20 of us with everyone’s correct orders and drinks, didnt skip a beat.
After the previous customers finished dining we had a section all to ourselves so we had some privacy and our guests felt comfortable, relaxed, and we were all together in one area. The food was fantastic, service was swift. Everyone left full and happy. I know there will be a few repeat guests from our crowd.

My friend and I tried this place out on Saturday early evening. It’s in our neighborhood but I had seen little blurb on the internet so suggested we try this place. It used to be a place for breakfast, then a Greek restaurant and others from what I’ve heard. The interior décor is old and worn and the room is huge. That said, we were there for the food and it did not disappoint. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They brought us free Edamame. We went for the Bento Box which you choose from different Rolls, pick a Sushi and then an entrée. I had the California Roll, Unagi (eel) and Chicken Teriyaki. This Miso soup was delicious, not overly salty and contained mushrooms. The Bento Box was delicious, simple (no rice with the chicken teriyaki for instance which I liked) and just the right amount. Plus, it was only $ 13.50.
We can’t wait to go back. I wish them continued success!

Well we came here after seeing such great reviews and photos, but really was somewhat disappointed. The interior looked really outdated, and the wait area booth seat was ripped and taped over (cheap owners). I’ve heard this was an Indian restaurant and boy does it look like one! Well we ordered quite a few sushi, but took forever to come out, didn’t mind because our server said their was a party of 50. Thanks for telling us, and appreciated him telling us too! Anyways the first dish came out was the teriyaki noodles. It Tasted like curry (I HATE INDIAN FOOD)!!! I couldn’t really dig it at all, only the chicken was good. The dishes came out and they were decent except one which was fried (I forgot what it was called). That was extremely tasty!!!
Over all this is a decent stop and go restaurant not too expensive, and decent food. Just fix the interior please!

Asian fusion as a cuisine is so misunderstood. It describes the combination of multiple cuisines, one of which being Asian, in a way that totally works. As of late it means trendy Asian restaurants that think they can charge whatever that want. Mejari GETS asian fusion. The restaurant is run by Mexicans and they incorporate their flavor into Japanese food when they can.
The name of this place describes it all: Me for Mexican, Ja for Japanese, and Ri for ameRIcan. They serve amazing sushi and bento boxes, and they also do sophisticated salads and appetizers.
They gave us some amazing miso soup on the house. We were impressed with how delicious it was, so full of mushrooms too. Then before the food came out they brought us my favorite sushi free of charge: seared salmon! The fusion in this case involved some Mexican tang. The salmon was placed on rice and then seared with the torch, then drizzled with lime and topped with pico de gallo. And it TOTALLY worked!!!
Our sushi rolls came and they were all delicious, having just enough rice to hold everything together. Most sushi places pile on the rice. We got the shrimp tempura roll, Seattle roll, and California roll. My wife hates sushi and she went crazy for them all, until she found out there was raw salmon in the Seattle roll of course.
We loved the private parking lot behind the restaurant. That’s hard to come by in Wallingford!

It is sushi with an Indian/​hispanic twist I guess. The interior is mundane. It is huge and mostly empty. The staff, though, are super helpful and polite.
Late at night, you can get three sushi rolls for $ 20.They brought us complimentary edamame and some cucumber rolls. The staff are super friendly and polite.
The cucumber roll was definitely not the best, but I loved the gesture.
The sushi was nicely wrapped, but something about it tasted a little bit off to me, cannot point my finger to anything, but there was something… Maybe it was the fish, it did not taste fresh. I did not finish what I ordered, which is quite a rarity for me at a sushi joint :).
Overall, it was okay, definitely good for late night cravings.

This place is just completely average. There’s nothing to elicit great complaint; you won’t lose at Monopoly over the prices, you won’t have to wait very long to be seated or served, and you won’t ever be cramped here. Nor will you be amazed, I’d venture to say. It just depends on how you want to live your life, and you know I would never mislead you.

This place absolutely still looks like an Indian restaurant, so the ambience is kind of interesting. We came in for dinner and the place was almost empty. I thought the 3 rolls for $ 20 was a great deal, so we decided to order three of the most expensive rolls, of course. :) While it was a pretty good deal at $ 20, I would definitely not order them at $ 12 each. The fish was SO skimpy. Maybe the purposely cheap out when people order the 3/​$ 20 deal. Some of it was paper thin — that is embarrassing. I liked that the rolls did not have a lot of rice, but the fish did not seem fresh at all and the spicy tuna mixture was oddly dark.
I also did not like the service. There was only one server and he took a LONG time to take our order. Also, when the appetizers from the kitchen were done (the cooks would ring a bell) he would just leave the dishes sitting there. We ordered two appetizers from the kitchen and he left one of them sitting for over 5 minutes while he set tables and shit. When the second dish was done, he brought both dishes over together. Our first dish was already cold. I’m not sure if this was intentional — this is not a fancy restaurant where all the dishes should come out together.
The one dish from the sushi bar — tuna takiros — was not good. The flavor of the asparagus totally overpowered everything else, even the fish. The fish was bland, tasteless, and had the same weird dark brownish color. The kitchen appetizers were OK, I enjoyed the calamari and the tempura brie.
I might come back to satisfy any cravings for fusion rolls, but the H-​Mart in Lynnwood has a sushi stand that also does 3/​$ 20, and they don’t skimp on anything!

There’s nothing really «fusion» about this place. Just your standard Americanized sushi rolls with too many ingredients, prepared by Hispanic chefs. And… it’s pretty good! I liked the «Yummy roll» a lot, just because I love the taste when they use the torch to sear the fish. 20 bucks for 3 rolls gives you a lot of food, compare to other places. And there are a lot of other sushi places in Wallingford (what’s up with that?), so I hope this place can compete.
The restaurant space is gigantic and mostly empty. If the owners are reading this, I would suggest they open up the front of it to rent to other shops. A juice bar and a dessert /​bakery would go well with the Wallingford crowd.

We paid about $ 18 per person and for how much we paid, portions weren’t all that bad! I think the king salmon was the best out of all of them. Spicy Cali Roll was like 7 – 8 dollars but I noticed that it tasted like a mix of real crab and imitation crab, hence «the crab mix». And it threw me off a bit…
The 3 for $ 20 deal isnt worth relative to their original price unless you buy the more expensive option ($ 10+). Otherwise you’re only saving as little as 30 cents and as much as couple bucks per roll.
Service was alright, the food was just okay… This was the epitome of an average sushi place. I usually prefer smaller portions for better sushi so it’s not for me but for bigger eaters I think it’s AWESOME!

I attended for lunch on Tuesday, November 3^rd.
I did not enjoy the food at all. Basic details of the meal, such as soy sauce, green tea, and miso soup, were of poor quality. We ordered the King Salmon roll, Spider roll, and Tuna roll. Each had problems in assembly, quality of fish, and overall experience. I’d like to think that they were just having a bad day, but my experience was very poor. If you must go, I suggest you order one dish and see if you like it before ordering more.

Yay! I’m a fan! I love their special $ 20 for three choices of sushi. Food were fresh and warm which I love! The best sushi I ever tasted in Seattle considering I already went to Umi Sake, well it still depends on the person’s preference. The place is not very well known but I’m glad they opened up this place! A must try! Good for the pocket and tummy!

Don’t be fooled by a menu that serves a chicken sandwich alongside a daily sushi special! This was the last stop on our vacation and damn was it good! Service was ok but within the hour, the place was packed. Unbelievably packed! All their rolls are unique. Their Tempura udon is equally amazing! Come here for sushi or if you have a group of indecisive friends. This is the place to be! It’s like the menu has ADHD or something but all the food is good! Love this place and will be on our list next time we roll through town!

There are some pros and cons to consider:
Pros: Everything is SO fresh. The staff are very friendly. Happy hour is 3 – 7 DAILY, and features $ 5 calamari $ 6 tempura shrimp roll and $ 6 salmon roll… You can’t go wrong with fresh ingredients that don’t break your wallet.
The dishes are UNIQUE! Imagine a calamari salad with a tangy creamy sauce and crispy lettuce. Or garlic fries sprinkles with cilantro and minced garlic.
The interior decorating is lively and I feel energetic about being there. A little bit of orange and brown with a splash of sea green. My boyfriend just added he believes the interior is unremarkable. We disagree.
Cons: Small portions! My boyfriend loves ordering chicken teriyaki, and everywhere but this place gives heaps of rice. In fact, this place probably gives ¼ cup of rice. And if it’s happy hour, you just get chicken…
Greasy tempura rolls… They’re delicious, but kind of leak oil, which is strange.
I decided to let you know what to expect upfront to prevent disappointment. Try this during happy hour. You’ll at least try something new without having to wait until the following pay day to have a night out!

Really quirky restaurant with good food, good drinks, and great prices. Their 3 for $ 20 roll deal and happy hour menu (until 7pm) will keep me coming back every time.
Hadassah is also an amazing server! Friendly, funny, and attentive. We’ll be back!

This place is awesome. Overall the rolls were generous in size, full in flavor, fresh in quality, and cheap in price. We ordered four rolls off the Happy Hour menu which came to about $ 24. They also have a deal outside of Happy Hour where you can get three rolls for $ 20 or all-​you-​can-​eat at the sushi bar for $ 19 per person. To top it off customer service was spectacular!
This place would be a great spot for big groups as they have a large space with many tables. I’ve also heard the breakfast is amazing. Hoping to try it out myself one of these days.
