  Went on Sun 3/29 and enjoyed it. Sashimi was rocking, tuna poke was awesome. The rolls were a bit odd, but still good. Go to Sam's for rolls and O'shan for sashimi...

  Wow! For the money and flavor, this place kicks Moshi Moshi in the butt. Service was excellent, not over priced for mediocre sushi like Moshi, nice atmosphere.
• oh, how sweet to be a cloud
  We just ate there and the food was excellent. We had tuna poke, the O'Shan roll, the spider roll and the hamachi nigiri. Everything was great. The server was really nice and funny. I'm always worried about trying new sushi restaurants, but trust me, it was fresh and good.

  Really enjoyed my first visit. Friendly folks and good Sushi/Sashimi. Will def make it a regular stop.

  Tasty.
  
  After trying all the new Ballard sushi places, I think the food at O'Shan was much better flavor-wise than moshi moshi or shiku, though the decor less striking.
  
  Still have a soft spot for Sam's, so between the two, I'll have plenty of options in the 'hood.

  We we first got to O'shan, they were super busy. Once we were seated the service was great and the sushi was yummy. We especially liked the White King Salmon and the Seaweed Salad is a must. This will definitely be our regular sushi place.
• These are the same owners who had Bento Sushi a few years ago. Great sushi!

  O'shan Sushi is great! Our family had a great time the service was excellent and the food was out of this world. Highly recommended by us all.

  Really not impressed with this place. I have a hard time understanding how reviewers are rating this over Shiku or Moshi Moshi. Those places are more expensive, but the sushi at those places is generally pretty good.
  
  I tried O'shan twice, and both times the sushi was way below average for Seattle (which overall is a town with pretty good, but not Great, sushi).
  
  I ordered Nigiri and some rolls. The quality of the fish was flat-out bad. The Salmon and the Yellowtail did not seem fresh. The Ikura was the worst Ive ever had. Nearly made me gag...
  
  The rolls had way too much rice, and were generally bland.
  
  I would put this place below Sam's, and that is not a good thing.
  
  To me, its worth it to spend the extra money on the other 2 places. Or if youre looking for more affordable sushi go to Musashi's in Wallingford, or Sushi Bay and Cherry Blossom Sushi in Southlake.

  Something you might like to know- the owners of O'shan are the owners of Sushi bay and also trained the head chef of Musashi's.
  
  Hmmmmmmmmm

  Well (assuming that's true), its definitely surprising to hear.
  
  But it still doesnt change the experiences I had at O'Shans. Im half-japanese, and have spent much time in Japan, and generally consider myself a decent judge of sushi. The sushi I had at O'Shans was not on par with the other two places mentioned. Maybe I was there on "off" days, but Im skeptical
  
  I have to admit, hearing that its the same owners as Sushi Bay (which I think has good sushi), Ill have to give it one more chance...

  Went there last night for dinner, it was AWESOME!! The sashimi plate was amazing, nice big pieces, super fresh, i can't say enough about the sashimi, one of the best in the city!! The rolls were good too, but i'm not big on rolls. The service was fantastic!! Everybody, the waitresses, the sushi chefs, were really nice and friendly, very timely service, stayed for 2 hours enjoying the experience (it also helped that the house sake was delicious.) Highly recommend!
