Great sushi! The staff at the sushi bar were fast and friendly. Good variety. The salmon Nigiri was amazing, very fresh. For AYCE sushi, you definitely get your money's worth. The only negative was the hostess at the beginning. She didn't ask us if we wanted the AYCE when we came in, just sat us at a table. When we asked our server about the AYCE, she told us it was only at the bar and got us a spot right away. The place does look a little run down, but the sushi is still great quality.
Been going here on and off for years. They closed AYCE during Covid (understandably), so I just recently visited for the first time in a while. Good sushi, every time, hands down. The chefs are personable, quick, and more than happy to make adjustments as needed (different fish for texture, other sauce, etc). Extremely flexible, accomodating, and charming. Highly recommend, even for those new to the sushi experience - there's diversity on the menu without being overwhelming.I have noticed two things regarding my dislike for Trappers as a whole: extremely poor service when dining alone, and unusually pushy management regarding staff expectations. Dining solo at a regular table means little to no service (bussed my table when I went to the restroom!) unless you sit at the bar. The establishment also runs donation fundraisers every so often, and the waiters ask you if you want to participate. However, at this particular location, I discovered that if you declined, staff were scrutinized and actually punished if they didn't meet what management felt was 'enough' regarding sales per waiter per shift! Yikes.Overall, stop by. They have rotating Drinks Of The Month and Rolls Of The Month, so that's fun. Just sit at the bar, skip the tables, and try something new.
I've been to Trapper's several times and have not been disappointed. They have a wide variety of sushi and rolls on the menu, and a full bar with impressive cocktail list. I'd avoid the hot tea - it was not great. I stop here every time I'm in the area, and am always looking for reasons to be in Kent so I can stop in.
*This was the Federal Way restaurantI ordered the Sashimi plate which comes with 12 pieces of sashimi, salad and soup. I also ordered Unagi sushi. Was told 20-25min but it took almost an hour!I checked when I got out to my car and the salad and soup were missing.Went back and talked to Victor. As I showed him the unagi loose and rolling around in a large clam shell, he said it’s nigiri what to you expect? I agreed with him and he said why are you being rude. At this point I just wanted to get out of there!Super disappointed when I got to my hotel room to find only 9 pieces of sashimi.The sashimi was on the bottom and tasted like the seaweed salad/sesame oil.The manager was gone when I called back at 7:50.I asked why there wasn’t any eel sauce on the Unagi. The person I talk to you said they don’t have el sauce and the closest they have is teriyaki. That was a funny statement because I can see it on pictures of their rolls and other items!
Great service! The Chefs are AWESOME! Especially the little short one
I think I checked all Trappers places in King and Pierce county.They just have good sushi ?I just need more ginger ?
The food is delicious. Unfortunately, the service is trash. Every time I have come in for a to-go order, I have been treated disrespectfully. The servers are rude, cold, and unfriendly. Regardless of the time of day, my appearance, and my order I am treated as though I am less than a person. Today I was serviced by "Ana", and she could barely speak to me, make eye contact, or finish completing my order without a rude disposition. If you want good sushi, this is your place. If you want good service as a POC, its not.
I super love Trapper's Sushi <3 because of the variety of choices they have. Went here 2/14/2022 for the All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Dinner and it was packed (as expected)! because of Valentines Day. Overall, quality was above and beyond. Will come back for more!
Great ambiance the hostess was more then friendly our waitress made sure we had everything we need.. as a whole the customer service experience was incredible..If your going to trappers.. you know it's not the best sushi.. but they make up for it with drinks and great customer service. We had a delicious meal and will be back Thanks Trappers!
Very bad experience tonight. Manager and staff were downright rude. Wish we would have just left and gone elsewhere. Still can't believe the lack of service they provided.
