A friend invited me here to share with me this hidden late night sushi spot in Kirkland. We stopped in and the service was slow as molasses. We finally ordered our usual whole table of food to try and wished the staff was a bit more attentive with us needing more ginger, utensils, water & additional food order items. The ambiance is still very much dive bar inside but with a sushi menu. The sushi was all very delicious and the mochi for dessert hit the spot. I'll be back in hopes that the wait for late night sushi isn't too long.

Just for my experience having a beer at the bar: this is a great spot! We were waiting for dinner at Cafe 79 and decided to stop by for a beer. I was thrilled to see they had one of my favorite beers on draft (Duchesse de Bourgogne, a lovely Belgian sour) and my partner had a local Gingerbread stout. Service was quick and nice and the atmosphere was cozy for a brewery. Noticed they serve sushi and it looked pretty good honestly. Will have to stop by again to try the food!

Our friends suggested meeting up at The Thirsty Hop, and though a hop shop with sushi seemed like a strange mix, it turned out to be a great combination! As you walk in, the cozy vibe is immediately inviting, especially on a cold, rainy day with an inviting fireplace to sit next to. They even have games to play! The beer selection was decent with plenty of choices, and the sushi was surprisingly delicious! We ordered quite a bit, with the Hawaiian tuna being a standout favorite--we liked it so much, we ordered it twice. We also tried a variety of other dishes, including wings, gyoza, and rolls, and everything was excellent. The staff were friendly and had a great sense of humor, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere. As we left, the place was getting busy. We wish them the best of luck and hope they continue to stay busy!

Food- amazing. Some of the freshest, and greatest sushi, and apps in the area! The presentation is great, as well as the sushi rice is cooked perfect. (I've had lousy sushi rice)... Service- is attentive, and always doing their best, on top of being all in one bartender/server... super kind, as well as a family ran business. So their hearts are in it. Ambiance- modern almost industrial feel inside, with a small fire place inside, as well as a good place to watch a game without over crowding. I really recommend this place.

My partner and I dropped in to try Thirsty Hop on Saturday right at opening. Parking was easy to find and the service was very friendly and prompt! The interior is cozy and there's board games if you want to come grab a beer and chill. They offer a decent variety of local craft beers and some sake and wine too. We ordered the Matryoshka imperial stouts which were amazing! If you love stouts you'll probably like this. Not too sweet, smooth mouthfeel, and easy to drink. For food we had the God Father roll, Salmon Skin roll, Amazing roll, Happiness roll, and Mountain roll. Each roll was delicious! If you're looking for savory rolls: definitely the Happiness and God Father rolls. If you want something light, slightly sweet, and refreshing: Mountain roll! The Awesome roll and Salmon Skin rolls are classic flavors and taste great too.

We four had dinner and drinks; two among our party live nearby and are regulars. I really enjoyed the Bibimbap I ordered with beer! BEER/WINE: 4.0. Good selection of beers, and limited but decent wines. We were all satisfied with our choices of beers and wines. FOOD: 4.0. - Bibimbap: 4.5. A real standout and I will order again. I hadn't had Bibimbap this good since living in Hawaii and Guam. I chose to have with Tofu, though beef is also available. Especially good with a cold beer. - Sashimi: 3.5. The Japanese person in our group rated her DELUXE DINNER as quite good for previously-frozen fish, and says she would order it again. I ordered one tako sashimi and would rate it a 2.5; in future I won't order individual sashimi. SERVICE: 3.5. Enthusiastic and accurate. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Indoor and some outdoor seating. It became quite full by 6pm on the Friday we visited (with a full parking lot), but never got so noisy that we couldn't easily carry on a conversation.

Great beer and fantastic sushi. What a unique combination! I had the pilsner, dragon roll, and the crispy rice with spicy tuna. The crispy rice roll is very unique and definitely a standout. The servers were very nice and the orders came out quickly. Highly recommend this place!

Unassuming sushi restaurant that looks like a little sports pub. The sushi was fresh and the saki was warm. They had a nice beer list too. Parking is easy here. The service was great. If you prefer fresh sushi to pub fare for a game day, this is your ticket.

New owners took over in the summer of 2023 and added sushi to their extensive beer menu. Bartender checked the order from the kitchen before serving it, which is a great way to ensure you get what you ordered. Cocktails are prepared with care, so it takes Bit longer to get them but they are very high quality. I didn't finish one item and one of the servers asked me about it. This means they definitely pay attention and are interested in feedback. The tempura appetizer has a tempura mint leaf which I've never had believe but is awesome, as is most of the food here.
