Fore Gras Tofu- this is my favorite thing here. I've been here twice and I had it both times. Melts in your mouth and you absolutely must try this. Duck Soba- this is their specialty and I remember loving it the first time but it was not as the first but still delicious Cream of mushroom soba- my friend had this and I ended up dipping my soba in her noodles it was absolutely delicious I would recommend coming here. I always forget about it but it never disappoints! read more

It's between a 4 and a 5 for me, but I'll lean 5 because the dishes are pretty unique! The dishes we ordered were the anago, uni shiso bomb, kamo-nanban, and cream of morel. They also give a complimentary amuse bouche! The anago was lightly fried and I love the curry salt that it came with. The uni shiso bomb was probably our fav! Uni + ikura, what's not to love? A little salty imo, but packed with flavor. I got the kamo-nanban and I thought it was good, but the highlight was the cream of morel. Super leek-y, creamy, and so delicious. Their soba is flat, whereas I'm used to round soba, but it's good nonetheless! read more

Came in for our 5:45 reservation. We started with the chawanmushi and smoked hamachi kama, and both were warm, comforting, and nicely done. Unfortunately the soba didn't live up to the same level. I ordered the tempura kake and while the tempura itself was crispy, the broth and noodles had very little depth or flavor and tasted pretty flat. We also tried the chestnut coffee custard for dessert. The crust was hard and stale, and it was paired with some orange ice cream that didn't really complement the custard, so the dish felt a little disjointed. Service was fine for most of the night, but the pacing toward the end felt rushed. When we were still deciding on dessert, we were told there was another seating after us, and once we finished we were quickly prompted with the check. I understand timed reservations and table turns, but it did take away from what could have been a more relaxed experience. Overall not a bad meal but the soba and the rushed ending made it less memorable than I expected. read more

Ordered a few items 1. Duck soba noodle. Warm broth is good. A lot of soba noodle but not a lot of duck pieces 2. Hamachi Kama. Pretty good and Smokey 3. Coffee chestnut custard. Oh my this is a flop. The mandarin sorbet doesn't go with this dessert at all. The coffee crisp is soggy and hard. Feels like it has been living in the fridge for a while. The service is good but there is a 20% tip added automatically regardless of the group size. read more

Kamonegi - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We came here around 8 pm on Friday without a reservation and had to wait about an hour. We didn't mind and decided to check out a nearby bar while we waited. I highly recommend making a reservation since it's a small restaurant. Their specialty is handmade soba noodles, and our server recommended ordering one dipping-style dish. My husband got the Matsutake Beef Sukiyaki, and I got the Birria Curry Nanban. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful, and we're already looking forward to coming back. read more

Kamonegi - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cute place in Wallingford with a relaxing atmosphere and great service. Went there for seattle restaurant week and ordered the restaurant week menu. Since we were a party of 2, we were able to try almost everything. The soba was excellent and the dashi for all the dishes was very good. The reason for my 3 star is my disappointment with the tempura dishes. The tempura was very heavy. No lightness to either the deep fry technique or the batter. I was very surprised or maybe my expectations were set too high given past reviews. I might try again. read more

Kamonegi is a true gem. I believe we have experienced more "perfect bites" here than any other places combined. Beyond the flawless execution of their dishes, they come up with very innovative and unique flavor combinations. One of our absolute favorites is the Foie Gras Tofu. I still have trouble believing that it is actually just tofu! Beyond that, their Coffee Salmon Tartare, and Black Cod Chawanmushi are also excellent. Finally their tempura is also prepared perfectly. All in all, you cannot go wrong here. We have tried almost everything, and would recommend any of it depending on your mood. Lastly, the service is always top notch. We have always been treated well, and the staff are always very helpful! Highly recommend! read more

Was able to get a reservation for two. Small restaurant that I've actually been to when it was Art of the Table a longggg time ago. Service was excellent. We got a little free appetizer bite which was super nice. I got the signature duck noodles. Nice umami tasting broth. The kabocha app was very much like Korean wings. I'd def come back to try other things next time! Easy street parking as well. read more

One of the best meals I had in Seattle! It is a must and was great for a rainy night like the one we had. The space is very small but well worth the wait. Our total wait time was over 2 hours because we were 4 adults and one child with no reservations. We ended up checking out the brewery up the street during our wait and wrapped back around. The staff are all extremely nice and welcoming. Everything was flavorful and the noodles had the perfect bounce to them. We ordered a sake that we tried sharing with staff to no success, but instead, they came around with a shot of their spicy tequila! It was definitely a memorable last night in Seattle and i would definitely go again. MAKE A RESERVATION. PERIOD. read more

This place is wonderful. I went on an unusually hot day (90F), and although they definitely wernt built for the heat, they accommodated well with little personal fans for everyone. Wait staff is super friendly and the place is very cozy. They are known for their soba noodles and the one named "ship" or something adjacent was amazing. True fried nostalgic mochi and salmon roe with very good soba and broth. You can definitely tell the freshness of the soba in house. Fried pumpkin was my favorite side dish and my top pick, it was fantastic, although I really did enjoy the pickled and miso assortment as well. I would love to come back. read more

Kamonegi - Ship soba - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Fancy Japanese nook serving made to order soba and seasonal apps. The foie gras tofu was STELLAR!!! Make sure to properly mix the wasabi paste into the soy sauce before eating. The sharpness from the wasabi really cuts the fattiness and the foie gras is enhanced by the saltiness of the soy sauce. Burst of flavor. There is not much shrimp that comes with it though. Their soba is very fresh, they make it per order and don't pre-make / freeze the batches! It is more on the fully cooked side, but it is nice for the dipping soup because it's softer, almost like you're drinking the noodle. The Kamonegi seiro (duck + yuzu zest) was nice in flavor and adds a "darker" richness to the dipping broth. There wasn't much duck meat itself but the one duck meatball was nice and savory and the duck breasts weren't overcooked. Tastes best when warm so eat it while it's hot! Their menu is seasonal which keeps it quite interesting :) The service was really great the staff are well informed on the dishes and are very friendly. There is limited seating so I recommend reserving. The ambiance is also nice, great for dates and dim lighting. read more

Kamonegi - Duck + tempura noodles - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We made a Friday 4:30p reservation as a group of 4. The vibes are very cozy tucked into a relatively quiet street. Servers were all nice and introduced the menu well. Overall the apps were unique and tasty and we really enjoyed them. The soba unfortunately was little underwhelming, so if the goal is just soba probably overhyped. Our favorite actually ended up being the dango tempura with black sesame ice cream. The ice cream has crunchy bits in it and pairs well with the hot dango. Other standouts were (1) uni shiso bomb which had crispy tempura and a smooth sweeter uni on top (2) foie gras tofu which was extremely creamy and unique in flavor. Apps - uni shiso bomb $13 - foie gras tofu $14 - kabocha squash wings $15 - duck meatball $18 Soba - kamonegi seiro $26 - kamo nanban $26 - nira beef $27 - salmon bukkake $29 Dessert - dango tempura $12 read more

Small quaint Japanese restaurant that specializes in soba noodles. Overall, it was okay. I'd give them 3.5 stars, because the food was good but nothing spectacular. (I'm an Asian food snob - my hubs is Japanese and he makes Japanese food for me, including soba, so it's a hard comparison.) - Foie gras tofu was unique. A little heavier of a flavor than expected, but something I've never had before. - Coffee salmon tartare was a crowd favorite. Though I didn't care for the chive sour cream on the side. - Duck meatballs was mid. But always love a good sous vide egg. - Kabocha squash 'wings' was also a bit heavy, but a well made tempura. - Soba was ok. Sukiyaki was pretty sweet. Preferred the seiro dipping broth. But overall, underwhelmed. I guess I didn't know what I was expecting, something more umami? The noodle to have more texture? Not sure. Just recall it being ok. We enjoyed our meal, but don't think I'd seek this place out again. If someone else wanted to go, then sure, I'd be down. read more

My husband and I went to Kamonegi on a Tuesday at 5 PM- we did not have a reservation, but were able to grab seats at their back bar (they have 9 or so seats at their two bars available on a first-come, first-serve basis for those without reservations). At the time we arrived it wasn't too crowded but was starting to fill up by the time we left. The back bar experience was kind of nice because it feels like an izakaya where it's just you and the waiter. Our waiter was prompt to take our drink order, as well as our food order- he was very attentive and always seemed to know when we were ready to order! The pacing of the food was great- first an amuse bouche of pickled watermelon bites, then we ordered the uni shiso bomb appetizer and our main courses. The uni shiso bomb came first and was absolutely delicious- their tempura batter is great and it was my first time trying roe! Soon after, they brought our entrees of the Kamonegi seiro (cold noodles with hot duck breast and meatball broth) and for my husband, the fish curry seiro (cold noodles with hot fish curry broth). I greatly enjoyed the contrast of hot and cold, and we both ate every bite! They do bring hot water towards the end of your meal in case you want to drink the remaining broth as a digestivo which was a nice touch. For dessert, we ordered the Oreo tempura which was hot and fabulous- definitely gives state fair vibes as our waiter pointed out! We will definitely be back the next time we want to celebrate a life win- at $125 for two people it's a bit on the expensive side, but they do include a service charge so any additional tip is purely optional. read more

Despite how much I wish this wasn't the case, we just did not find this restaurant worth the value. We ordered the salty eel tempura, eggplant tempura, and 2 Kamonegi seiro dipping broth. The salty eel tempura was probably our favorite dish, but did not stand out besides that the eel is thick. Eggplant tempura was a disappointment. The broth was good but flavor doesn't complement the tempura. Eggplant itself lacked flavor. Aside from the crunchiness of the tempura, I did not enjoy the dish. Kamonegi seiro was our least favorite. The soba itself had a nice texture, but broth did not stand out. In the broth, there were only 3 pieces of duck and 1 duck meatball. The duck slices were absolutely non-chewable; I could not even separate the meat and ended up not eating any. Duck meatball was chewable but tasted okay. All in all, it did not meet the hype and given the price, it was very, very disappointing. read more

Here for a bday dinner - a lot was good, and some weren't as much to my taste. I really liked the apps we got. The corn dashi broth to start was great, the uni shiso bomb was too albeit pricy, the foie gras tofu was REALLY rich and i think it'd be so good if foie gras didn't make me nervous. The kabocha wings were an ok tempura-esque thing, and the actual soba itself was...ok. I mostly didn't get the broth. I did get something unconventional - the cream of morel, but I did like the morel. It was just so so so salty. And not that creamy actually. People hype the soba here up so much but maybe partially because of lack of other options it's good, but maybe I'm just not the target demographic to REALLY appreciate it. I did like the actual noodles themselves though! Super fresh tasting with great bite. Dessert was really yummy too. read more

It's a quaint, little restaurant with very limited seating so reservations in advance are highly recommended. Additionally, the prices are high so for that I think I just didn't feel the value was worth the price. Honestly the stand out dish was the squash wings as they were lightly fried, and tossed in a sweet and salty sauce. I also enjoyed their cold noodles quite a bit for a hot day here in Seattle! Overall the flavors are well developed, the handmade soba has great texture, but I didn't feel the price was justified by the portion sizes. read more

First time at kamonegi anddd i mean, it was ok hahaha. We ended up going with the tasting menu + sake pairing, since we figured we might as well try as much as possible. While nothing was bad about it, tbh, nothing stood out. The sake paired well with each dish, but it kinda just felt like another place that advertised an overpriced tasting menu/x course meals (we may have gone to get more food afterwards hahaha). Service was great though and the place itself was packed so highly recommend making a rezzie. I guess we were both confused as to why the hype was so big for this place. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for YEARS. The reservations book out often. I went here on a whim Friday evening as a party of 2 with no reservation. We got super lucky and snagged a table right away. It's a bit of a tight dining set up and the first thing I noticed was they do not have AC. It was fine at first but towards the end of the meal I was definitely in need of fresh air. The food is worth it though. The menu is pretty expansive which normally may lead to a customer feeling overwhelmed, but the servers did a great job at leading us towards some easy decisions. Given it was our first time- the tasting menu was an obvious choice. They also happened to have a matsutake mushroom add-on available that I had to get as a mushroom lover. The tasting menu was delicious and the variety kept the entire meal interesting. The servers felt knowledgeable and comfortable with the menu. If I had to ding a point I would note there was a 30m lag between finishing the course we were on, and the final item- the soba noodles. That kind of pacing is a pet peeve of mine, but the noodles were worth it. I'd venture to say I could have consumed 4x the noodles given how good they were. Definitely worth coming. Try to snag a walk-in if you can't get a reservation and be mindful of the temperature outside cause it will be hotter inside. read more

Kamonegi had been on my radar for a while as it was nominated for a James Beard Award a couple years ago. I went on a Saturday night, grabbing an early reservation at 4:30 PM. Generally, getting a reservation off peak hours relatively last minute didn't seem like much of a problem and if you show up right when they open, you shouldn't have to wait either. Street parking wasn't too crowded, but you may need to walk a block or two. Not on the menu, but we were offered a complimentary, piping hot shot of kabocha soup, which was delicious! Foie Gras 'Tofu' (5/5): INSANELY good. This restaurant is worth visiting just to order multiple of these. The foie gras has the most luxurious, melt in your mouth texture and the freshness of the wasabi rounds the flavor out perfectly. A must try signature for sure. Kamonegi Seiro (3.5/5): The duck meatball itself was quite delicious, but the sliced duck wasn't the most tender. Broth had great flavor and the soba noodles were definitely higher quality than you'd get elsewhere, but I just prefer ramen or udon over soba any day. Also, the serving size is just okay for the decently steep price. Shrimp and Fried Mochi Seiro (3/5): Can't remember exactly what this was called as it was one of their seasonal. The fried mochi had a great texture, but the shrimp was meh. Same notes as above for the noodles. TLDR; come and get the foie gras tofu, noodles won't blow your socks off unfortunately. read more

The service was great! The staff was attentive and personable. All of the appetizers were on point, Mixed veggies, salmon belly and foie gras tofu. Jumbo shrimp tempura was hella goo too. I got the duck meatball soba with noodles in broth. It was rich and flavorful, it had a few slices of thin duck and ONE, yes ONE meatball duck meatball. I wish there were more but it's was tasty none the less. The meatball was very soft and creamy. Overall the dinner was good, just wish the portion size was a lil bigger on the soup. read more

Been meaning to try Kamonegi for a couple of years and our chance finally came on a Friday evening. We tried to reserve ahead of time but our time slots were not available at all so we decided to risk walking in. We were pleasantly surprised that we didn't have to wait at all as we were seated at the bar right away. We didn't mind sitting at the bar as we really wanted to try this Seattle gem. The place was quite small and cozy. The bar seating where we were at had 4 seats and we took the 2 seats towards to entrance. For two people, the bar seating was perfectly acceptable. Staff were very friendly and receptive to all of our questions about everything they had on their menu. We ordered Uni Shiso Bomb and Japanese Kampachi Kama (from their specials menu) for our appetizers. Uni Shiso Bomb was a tiny dish but very tasty. We love Uni and it was very fresh and went well with ikura. For the main course, we ordered Beef Matsutake Sukiyaki and Oyster Gochujang Nanban. Overall, we liked their soba, which was very well done and had great texture. We were not too impressed with the matsutake sukiyaki as it was a familiar taste, a fusion between Korean bulgogie and Japanese regular beef sukiyaki. I also think the gochujang nanban could be more appealing to us if it were more like a thicker stew but that's just our preference. We still enjoyed both dishes and would love to come back for more. read more

Absolutely the best meal I've had all year! First, I definitely recommend making reservations. It's a small but cozy spot with good music and the best service, perfect for a date night or a catch up sesh with a best friend. We arrived and were seated right away while I overheard the couple who walked in being told that the wait would be three hours. My friend and I split the kabocha squash wings. They were perfectly cooked. Crunchy on the outside with a slightly sweet glaze, and warm and soft on the inside. We ate them all and fought over the last piece, eventually agreeing to split it. I ordered the Kamo nanban and on a cool rainy evening, it was a satisfying bowl of heaven. The duck breast was juicy and the tsukune seasoned well. The broth was flavorful, and the noodles you could tell were freshly made. If I lived in the area this would be my go to spot. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Kamonegi is on the pricier side, with most dishes running $25-$30+ and cocktails (no full bar, so no hard liquor) still at $19+. They did start us off with a complimentary amuse bouche of pickled watermelon, which was a fun and refreshing touch. The food was worth it, though. I always look for kamo (duck) soba when I visit a soba shop, and as the name suggests, they've got it. The Kamonegi Seiro duck broth dipping sauce was rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of duck fat and green onion -- comforting, savory, and absolutely delicious. Service and ambiance were just okay. We sat at the bar, which meant being about two feet from the bartender the whole time, so not exactly the most comfortable or private dining experience. If you're fine with the higher price point and casual vibe, it's a solid spot for quality soba. read more

Kaminegi Overall the experience here was great, the restaurant is a small cozy little thing with very few tables so you absolutely need to reserve ahead of time (there was a couple who walked in and even for seating at the bar they were told it would be 45min, we came at opening so plan ahead) Let's talk food We tried both shrimp tempura and Maitake Mushroom tempura and they were very tasty, they even provided an Amuse-bouche of squash soup that was delicious! So here's where things get a little interesting, we had the Matsutake Chawanmushi (seafood custard) and neither my husband and I had ever tried it but wanted to try something very different. It was bad, it just wasn't good but again our palettes might be unaccustomed to it We had both types of duck noodles (the concentrated broth/dip your noodles style and the hot soup with duck breast as well) both were beyond delicious and very savory, I know there was a comment about the salt level but it just tasted as salty as any other broth type soup we've had. The concentrated broth is salty in the sense that it's you know... concentrated, they provide a tea pot of hot noodle water to add to the broth in the end and ta da, duck tea, very yummy Guys let's talk about the duck meatballs, I can see why they have it as a separate item as well, it's so delicious Dessert was a pass, we had the cheesecake and it most certainly was not close to being a good Japanese style cheesecake. The service though was fantastic, very knowledgeable and attentive, and explained the options very well. Would love to go back lol if we can find reservations read more

We ordered: Kamonegi Seiro - dipping style, duck breast, duck tsukune meatball leak, yuzu zest, hot broth Pork Birria Curry Nanban - pork birria, curry broth, makani farm winter vegetables, guajillo chiles, queso fresco, lime, cilantro Eggplant Tempura - chanterelle mushroom, daikon, green onion, bonito Foie Gras "Tofu" - foie gras mousse, sake poached shrimp, dashi, wasabi Duck Fat Mochi Cake w/ Sobacha Ice Cream Oreo Tempura Soba noodles were legit, like being back in Japan. Eggplant tempura were crispy and perfectly cooked inside, still firm and soft. Foie gras tofu got mixed responses from my group but I thought it was an interesting and lovely flavor combination. Birria broth was also interesting and it works with the soba! Duck Fat Mochi was really good but Sobacha Ice cream was lacking buckwheat flavor. We gave feedback and they're already planning to improve the buckwheat flavor intensity. Tempura Oreo is as you'd expect but hardly crispy. It's not bad cause Oreo lol but skip it. Service was very good. I also recommend making a reservation in advance. read more

There was a 35-minute wait on a Thursday night, but we were really looking forward to this meal -- and it was absolutely worth it. The foie gras tofu was rich, creamy, and perfectly paired with a soy-based sauce -- an easy 10/10. The fried kabocha squash was another highlight, topped with a flavorful sauce that made it seriously delicious. My dining partner ordered the Treasure Ship, and it did not disappoint. It had a great mix of textures and flavors -- creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber and shrimp tempura, and a nice chew from the fried mochi. A fantastic and unique dish. I went with the Kamonegi Seiro, which came with a generous portion of soba noodles and a savory duck dipping broth. The broth was rich and full of flavor, with tender duck meat throughout. The soba noodles were cooked just right -- perfectly bouncy with great texture. Everything was spot on. I'll definitely be back! read more

Parking is indeed hard to come by, and the space is much more tight compared to the average Seattle establishment. The service was nice and attentive - they also charge an automatic 20% service fee. They started us off with a complimentary shot of a potato truffle soup. Foie gras tofu: This was delicious, and we'd get it again. Silky foie gras in a bed of soy sauce-like broth that paired well together. The shrimp was tiny but tasty too. Kamonegi seiro: The duck meat and meatball were tasty accompaniments, and the broth itself was a good standard for the soba. Pork birria soba: Not my preferred flavor profile, but not bad. They also give you more broth than the kamonegi so it stayed hot longer. They'll give you some hot water at the end to drink up the remaining broth, which we appreciated. read more

Food was fun and refreshing to see a soba restaurant pop up in seattle. Eggplant tempura was great, but oh boy! The broth was waaay too salty for me and I love heavy savory, salty flavors. Salmon tartare was also pretty salty. Cool concept that reminded me of lox cream cheese bagel . Soba noodles were good, but pretty pricey for how much you get. The signature kamonegi was also salty . The tom kha was very good and well done. read more

My last meal in Seattle before heading back to California - definitely recommend the foie gras tofu and ikura soba, they were our highlights from our dinner. We also tried the kabocha wings, shiso/ikura/uni appetizer, zucchini coins, kamonegi seiro soba, and habanero umeshu. We lovedddd the foie gras tofu and ikura soba- both so perfectly balanced. The ikura soba was very refreshing for the hot day and fried foods that we had for appetizer. Service was attentive and friendly. We also greatly enjoyed the pace that our foods came out- perfect! There's a 20% service fee automatically added to the bill. We felt that the meal was very fairly priced. If you can, like many other reviews state, make a reservation! My friend and I were lucky to get a spot after getting there around opening time on a Saturday night, and someone had cancelled. Thank you Kamonegi, excited to return! read more

Went here with my friends for their birthday and they had made a reservation beforehand, we were seated immediately. The space is really nice and all the staff is really friendly. We ordered a bunch of food and In general it was all pretty good. The duck meatballs were by far my favorite. Personally I thought the tempura was underwhelming and I expected it to taste a lot better than it did, just tasted more fried and didn't taste much of the fruit flavor. It's such a nice experience here though and they even give you complimentary dishes and it's def a nice spot for a birthday meal as it's very good and a bit pricey so for me just for special events.

I went here on a whim from a recommendation from a friend and the most important thing about dining here is to MAKE A RESERVATION! Luckily I was dining alone so as a walk in they were just barely able to squeeze me in (which I am eternally grateful for). But I mean... some of the best soba I've ever had. The tempura was perfectly crispy and the noodles were a perfect chewy texture. The broth? Perfect. It's a go-to if you love soba and if you're new to soba and Japanese cuisine it's a great place to start -- but it will set the bar very high! read more

Kamonegi is such a treat honestly. It's a little restaurant kinda out of the way from the rest of Fremont. I'd recommend making reservations especially if you're a larger group. Came as a group of 4 and we ordered the albacore to share and each had our own individual soba dish. The albacore was pretty good. It was just the slightest bit fishy, but the toppings and sauce made up for it and more. Perfect little bites of freshness, acidity, tart, and crunch. I got the zaru soba which comes with cold dipping sauce and veggie tempura. I ordered a sous vide egg on the side as well. Pro tip: dip the noodles in the sauce and then into the sous vide egg yolk. Trust me. The noodles were nice and al dente, veggie tempura was crispy and crunchy. For dessert, we ordered the shiso cacao nib and ume honeycomb ice cream. They both were very interesting! In a good way haha. The ume ice cream had a heavy salty flavor which balanced well with the honeycomb bits. I personally liked the shiso one better. It was more of a sorbet and a perfect way to end our meal on a hot summer day haha. The shiso flavor is light and the cacao nibs add a nice depth of flavor. Overall, really good! Definitely a bit pricey but I'd say it's worth it for the quality of food. Service is also always 10/10 when I come. Would recommend! read more

An elevated take on classic soba noodles. The flavors of the sauce and broth are on point and are what really carries the dish. The noodles themselves could have been cooked a bit better to give the classic soft texture that soba usually embodies, but overall would definitely recommend and come again. Menu seems to have rotational items. The Tomato Kimchi Burrata Bukkake Soba was amazing on a hot summer day, but isn't on the menu year round. The namesake, Kamonegi Seiro, had amazing protein in the broth and they also provide a wari-like soup towards the end of the meal to dilute the more concentrated soba dipping both for sipping. Also had the Nagoya Wings which were fine, but not memorable. Service was great and were given great food and drinking recommendations when asked. read more
