    The Craft Cola is so nice and fresh. All are made from real ingredients. Amazake series are unique. The smoothie's sweetness is from natural no added! The owners are kind and nice. They patiently explain what each items are. Very cute shop. They sold out their bento daily pretty quick. It means to me it must be great. I'll come early next time.

    This small and lovely shop is the type of authenticity that is very hard to find. The owners were so kind and the food was phenomenal! Please try this place if you're in the area and want home cooked and delicious Japanese food that will leave you feeling great all day. I cannot recommend enough and I will be back asap!

    Got a salmon bento and it hit all the right notes! Great rice, tender salmon, tasty mixed pickles, and soft tamago. The kind of meal I'd eat every day.

    Great addition to Chop House Row! Very sweet owners and beautifully and lovingly prepared food. Love all the descriptions for the items they serve. The bento box is a perfect size for lunch, and the enzyme rice is delicious. Looking foward to returning and seeing what they add to the menu!

    The bentos here remind us of bentos back in Japan! Fumiyo (the owner) carefully explained every item. You can tell she has put alot of care into her food. The miso marinated egg, lotus root kimpira were two of our favorite items in the bento. Everything tasted very healthy and delicious. We look forward to visiting again!

    We were there late and the bento was sold out (great reason to return!) so we had onigiri.

    My local friends recommended we come here for some authentic Japanese food while we were visiting…read more We texted ahead to reserve a table for 5 since it is a popular place. They don't take phone calls or reservations online - very old school. Which I think makes it more desirable. We ended up getting a special room with a "chabudai" style table! I was super excited because I've never experienced it before. What I did find pleasant was that although it was a lower table, there was an opening beneath the table that allowed your legs to hang rather than having to sit Indian style. Tyson was an amazing server. Was attentive, accommodated our allergies and was thoughtful with us having a young child. He was so pleasant and polite! We enjoyed the following: Baked miso glazed eggplant - YUM and melts in your mouth. Black Miso Cod Collar - this was pleasantly surprising and so delicious. Eat bite was tender and flavorful. Simple yet so appetizing. Sushi rolls were both fresh and well prepared. The nigiri was also great and fresh- not fishy. We additionally ordered takoyaki - which I normally don't love but this one was very tasty and I enjoyed the texture. Lastly karage chicken which came with a creamy slaw. Overall it was such a pleasant experience and we look forward to coming back!

    Seattle's oldest Japanese restaurant, Maneki is awash in history and tradition, from the Beckoning…read moreCat decor that greets you at the entry, to the private Tatami rooms where you can eat at an authentic, low-slung chabudai table, seated on cushions on the floor. Established in 1904 in the heart of Japantown, the restaurant relocated to the ground floor of the NP Hotel after its original structure was ransacked during World War II, when Seattle's Japanese community was relocated to internment camps outside the city. The hotel where Maneki now resides served as repository for family heirlooms that were left behind during that embarrassing and tragic period of American history. The joy of dining at Maneki goes well beyond the restaurant's incomparable history. The traditional Japanese menu has something for every taste, from delicious Nigiri and Maki Sushi to noodle dishes and local seafood. Pair your meal with a classic Japanese cocktail or a cold bottle of Sake, and you'll understand why this is one of Seattle's best culinary experiences. Highly recommended.

    A lively atmosphere in SLU to grab sushi, sashimi, and more. The service is prompt and attentive…read more There is a lot of seating and even good for groups. I sat at the sushi bar as it was just myself. For lunch, I opted in for the Power Lunch and it was fantastic. Served with 5 pieces of nigiri, seared salmon, miso soup, salad, edamame and more. The salad is great with the ginger dressing and the miso soup was flavorful with tofu. The nigiri was fresh and flavorful. Also got a shrimp tempura roll which was great with tempura shrimp and fresh avacado. Overall no complaints here. There are so many dishes I want to try and will be back soon for more.

    **Thursday evening around 5:00 p.m., party of 2. No wait.**…read more Unfortunately, I'm going to have to echo several of the recent reviews about the slow service. When we were seated, there were only about three other occupied tables, all with couples. Two of those tables were already being served their food. We placed our order, but our food didn't arrive for about an hour despite the restaurant appearing to be fully staffed. To make matters worse, multiple tables that were seated after us received their food before we did. The long wait might have been easier to overlook if the food had been worth it, but it wasn't. I ordered the seven-piece sushi assortment with a baked crab roll, and more than four pieces of the fish were still partially frozen. The fish did not taste fresh, which was especially disappointing after such a long wait. An hour to assemble seven pieces of sushi seemed excessive. Seeing that more than half of the fish was still partially frozen made the hour-long wait make a lot more sense. Maybe they were waiting for it to defrost before serving it. My sister ordered a baked crab roll and two pieces of seared snow crab. The seared snow crab was completely forgotten until I had already finished my meal. We had to remind the staff before they rushed to prepare it. The baked crab roll itself was decent, but the combination of the extremely slow service, disorganized order handling, partially frozen fish, and forgetting an entire dish until we asked about it means we won't be returning.
