The exception was our vegan friend, who had a vegan version of midori, their vegetable omakase. The menu said the omakase would take about two hours, but it ended up taking three hours since there was a lot of waiting between items. The quality of the fish varied--the shrimp was good, but the uni and salmon did not seem as fresh. The cooked dishes were good though, and I appreciated the interesting combinations like pickles + geoduck and ice cream + furikake popcorn. The cooked salmon was nice and soft, just barely cooked through. It was great that this omakase place is vegan-friendly, but unfortunately, my friend was not a fan of most of her food. But we all liked the soup that came before dessert! I actually really enjoyed the black cod miso soup they served; it was very rich in umami. I appreciate that this restaurant uses sustainably-sourced seafood, which contributes to the higher price, but I unfortunately still didn't find the meal to be worth the high price tag, especially given the slow service. The server was nice and filled our water pretty frequently, but the estimate of how long dinner would take was too inaccurate. We were also confused about how we got six pieces of each type of oshizushi (the cube-like sushi) to split among four people

The chicken katsu was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not greasy at all, just the way it should be. The hamachi kama was perfectly grilled, super flavorful with just the right amount of char, and came with a ponzu dipping sauce that complemented it really well. Now the rolls... the Fandango roll was a standout, fresh, creative, and full of flavor without being overly saucy or heavy. The Azuma Sushi Maki roll was another winner, a solid choice if you're craving something classic with high quality fish. Service was friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is relaxed and casual. This spot definitely exceeded expectations, I'll absolutely be back!

There's lots to choose from on the menu! Since I don't eat pork there's less ramen options for me. I enjoy the Chicken Rich Ramen, or Veggie ramen. Also the Potato Croquette and Ten Don is something I'll get if I'm not in the mood for noodles. I like to ask for spicy Mayo, the combo of tempura + rice + spicy mayo takes the flavors to another level. I really like their yuzu soda so much flavor it kind of reminds me a flavored San Pellegrino. So glad there's comforting ramen in West Seattle!

There is not much space inside to eat, but you can take it to go and enjoy it seated in the nearby plaza. I took one star away because this place could do exactly what it is doing for the next 20 years, and people would still go. It's not reinventing anything, but it's also not a meal you'd regret if you like teriyaki.

Cucumber salad and edamame were delicious. The first time I went I got the spicy chicken on top of cabbage but I did not love that as the cabbage got too soggy under all the sauce (and it was too spicy for me lol). I would definitely come again. They also do rewards: for every $50 you spend you get $3.50. Theres nowhere to sit and eat though so be aware this is takeout only. Service is very minimal and you can order from a screen. Very excited to come back. This is a great lunch option

Chirashi bowl (5/5) For the price, you just can't beat it anywhere else. It's totally worth it with 5 different kinds of sushi, shrimp and eel and roe. The fish tastes fresh and the wasabi is strong. Amazing price, generous portion, excellent quality. Unagyu don (4/5) This bowl has a mix of tender beef and eel and it's quite heavy on the sauce. I wouldn't say it's very salty but it is saucy and you need to mix it with the rice properly to balance it out. The portion is generous and it is very filling. Not bad but I'd go for the chirashi every time.

Georgetown has some nice hidden gems and I would consider this one of them... just good,…read moreno-nonsense Japanese rice bowls of comfort. If you're a fan of Red Bowl in Financial District, this place has a similar vibe with its approach to rice bowls. Having been here twice on different weeks, I think this will become one of my go-to places in the area when I'm craving fresh seafood on a weekend south of downtown. LOGISTICS Parking is convenient for Georgetown area, given they have a dedicated lot for customers of businesses in the area. Entering in, you order through the kiosk and if you're dining in, you can seat yourself and they'll bring the order to you. The space is small for larger groups but if you're 4 people or less, generally there are tables available on off peak hours (at least what we observed Sat/Sun). Ordering happens at the kiosk, which you can choose for takeout or to dine in. Keep in mind there are some items available for dine-in only (ex. udon or seared salmon bowls), but if you plan on doing takeout anyways you can order online or call ahead for pickup. Note - they do close at 2:30 pm but re-open at 4:30 pm. So long as you get your order in by 2:30 pm they'll still service you... which was nice since the last two times we came in around 2:00 PM. FOOD First off, they have nice nice presentation both in how the food is arranged and the bowls they use when dining in. From the ceramic/decorative bowls to the trays they use... it's the little things that add to the dining experience and make you think a business cares about its food. (Note: there was one time we had initially ordered togo but decided to eat in person; so they kept the food in plastic bowls for one of my photos.) In every bowl we had during our two visits, the rice was excellent! We've had some terrible rice at other donburi places before where it can be too overcooked or too mushy. Fortunately their seasoned rice was a good texture and tasty to eat on its own. The seafood was also excellent for the price / quality - fresh tasting with a melt-in-your mouth texture. Volcano Bowl: Spicy salmon + spicy crab salad w/ masago - despite the description it wasn't too spicy (siracha mayo) but it went really well with the rice, like a deconstructed sushi roll. I liked mixing in some wasabi to give it a stronger kick. Aburi Sake Bowl (seared salmon bowl): This is only available to order for dine-in; if you love salmon... I would recommend this one. Seared salmon is delicious seafood umami. I liked how the salmon had the right amount of fattiness too. Chirashi Bowl: If you like variety, then this is an excellent bowl to try a little bit of everything. I was amused that they also included unagi (I don't think I see that in most chirashi bowls). Even the shrimp, which is usually my least favorite part of chirashi bowls, tasted good with a slight sweetness. OVERALL Awesome place and a good location for the area given there's parking available. Price was just right for the quality (I'm amused how much cheaper good seafood is here in Seattle compared to the Bay Area) and the staff were really friendly. There are also two excellent bouldering gyms nearby (Castle Climbing Club and Momentum)... so if you're looking to recharge after a climbing session, I would highly recommend coming here!

Tonight, my partner's Chirashi bowl arrived promptly, but I waited nearly 30 minutes for three basic rolls, despite the restaurant being nearly empty (only two other tables). The most concerning part, however, was the food quality. I ordered three rolls--none of which were meant to be spicy. As a native New Mexican, I have a high spice tolerance, but two of these rolls were "stupid spicy" to the point of being inedible. Having had these exact rolls here before, it was clear the spice level was intentionally altered after I inquired about the long delay. The waitress was pleasant and offered to comp a roll, but the issue isn't the money--it's the lack of professionalism from the chef. Tampering with a customer's food because they asked for an ETA is unacceptable. We will not be returning.

The table wait was minimal and totally acceptable. The room was simple (a good thing), and the restaurant's popularity made for a busy but relaxed atmosphere. Our greeter/server was efficient and polite. The sushi was surprising good! Perfectly cooked sushi-rice, and well proportioned topping of fish and other ingredients made for enjoyable bites. The sushi chefs are well trained and talented. Definitely recommend sampling their selections of sushi. You won't be disappointed. Five stars for this. Now for the grill part. Yakisoba is usually a grill item, as it's a stir-fried noodle dish, with it's distinctive Japanese flavor profile, and ingredients. Unfortunately, this was a miss. Though the soy-sauce coloring was correct, the flavor profile was not. The amount of beef in it was acceptable, but the other components were a miss. The only vegetable component was shaved-like slices of small zucchini which I could count with one hand. That seemed to treated more like a garnish, than a component of the dish. Had the grill-cook finished it with a drizzle of tonkatsu-sauce, it would've been closer to what was suggested on the menu. They should rename it "pan-fried beef-noodles" instead. Sure wasn't Beef Yakisoba. Other than that, table-side service was excellent, and the sushi was first rate. Just not the "yakisoba", cuz it wasn't. I will upgrade and edit this review if a few things are fixed.

I've tried the big names like Metropolitan, Capital Grille, John Howie, and The Butcher's Table, but this place remains my favorite for a true American steakhouse experience. We actually drove to the old location first, saw the sign, and then headed over to the new spot just a short distance away. I usually go to the Issaquah location, but this time we visited West Seattle. The old space had a cozy charm, while the new one feels much more modern. The happy hour menu has changed a bit, but we still enjoyed a glass of house red, mac & cheese, and a Caesar salad before sharing a 14oz ribeye. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium‑rare, and the bartender was genuinely friendly. Even the house red was better than expected. Issaquah still wins for me but we still had a great night eating, laughing, and catching up. Happy hour runs 4-6pm at the bar only, and our ribeye came with one side for $68. And if you haven't tried their brunch yet, it's surprisingly good.
