    Decent chirashi bowls in an office building lobby. I went here for a lunch around 1pm on Tuesday and it was not too busy since the peak times are usually a little after 12pm. Seating is limited to 6 counter seats (3 on each side of the lobby) with some low tables in the lounge area. I ordered online to minimize wait for picking up the order, and their estimates are accurate (10 minutes for online order) I got the Kudedon bowl which has salmon, tuna, ikura, albacore, unagi, shrimp, tamago, shiitake mushroom, and radish. These are cut into cubes rather than the sashimi slices you would often find in poke or chirashi bowls elsewhere. The bowl overall is decent, but for $20 before tax, it is a bit pricy as it was not filling and there is actually not that much sashimi. There is just one piece of small shrimp but there are a good number of cubes of the other things. The sashimi was fresh overall, but the tuna was a miss since I was basically eating partially frozen tuna cubes like partially melted ice cubes which wasn't the most appetizing. The citrus soy sauce was good so that I didn't feel the need to add anything to make the bowl complete. Overall, only worth to try once if it's convenient, since there are many other better chirashi bowls options elsewhere, but if you're in the area and don't have time to venture to the other areas, this is okay.

    Fast and fresh! Delicious sushi bowl that was filling and yummy. Found this spot on Google Maps and glad I did!

    Small shop tucked into a business building. They have a few seats next to the counter or you can eat in the lobby area. I got the kededon bowl and I liked the variety of fish and their flavors. The kick of citrus flavor was tasty as well. The portion size seemed slightly small though.

    Took the food to go - fast service and no line at lunch time on a weekday. The food was pricey. Opted for the sukiyaki beef which was a bit too salty and the entree/rice ratio was 30/70. I paid for too much rice! 3.5 outta 5

    Wow! High quality, quantity at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend this restaurant! Heard about this place through a friend and it was phenomenal! Salmon IKURA - had sooooo much salmon. And the salmon just tastes so fresh. The mix in the two salmons was excellent and kept each bite interesting. The salmon portion was huge and the ratio of salmon to rice was perfect. The citrus flavor was nice and light, not at all overpowering. Chojang poke- sooo much fish!! Beautiful presentation. Seasoning was a bit overpowering though so would probably try the classic kudedon bowl instead next time Overall very high quality fish with lots of protein at very great prices!!! The only downside is this restaurant is only open for brief hours on weekdays only which makes it very tough to order from or pick up. It would be great if the hours were extended for dinner or to weekends.

    Honestly been meaning to try this place for a long time and I finally did it. Didn't know what to expect at first, but after I saw the menu, the name the place was quite literal. It was a dedicated chirashi bowl take out spot. Basically you just pick the option that has the protein you want and that's it. The options were pretty simple. The Kudedon, which I ordered, had all the fish. So tuna, salmon, albacore tuna, and yellowtail. Honestly felt like I wasn't getting much fish with all the other ingredients that they put in the bowl, but it was alright I guess. The ingredients seemed fresh from what I can tell. So the food was good. For the price though, I'm not so sure if it was worth it. It's downtown, so food is usually overpriced. There wasn't really a crowd here. It was pretty dead, so getting your order in and out was reasonably fast. There isn't really any seating here since it's basically in the lobby of an office building. So best thing to do is find a spot inside PCC across the street or find some outside seating by Westlake. It was fun to try out once, but I don't think it worth getting it a second time sadly. But if you're craving a pretty chirashi bowl or want to just give it a try once. Go for it.

    06. NEGITORO & CREAMY SALMON (top) and 01. KUDEDON

    A friend posted on his social media of a delicious looking poke bowl that I HAD to check out. He even mentioned that it was really good so I tried making my way down but failed as they were closed. BUT on another time, a friend who worked in Downtown was able to grab take out! It's located next to Keybank and across of PCC on 4th Ave. Parking can be VERY difficult to find around the area, but there might be some street parking a few blocks away. The hours are targeted for downtown workers for ONLY lunch time (M-F 10:30 am-3:30 pm) which made it kind of difficult to try if we worked the normal M-F 8/9am - 4/5pm shifts away from Downtown. I got the Negitoro & Creamy Salmon. My entire bowl was minced fish compared to my boyfriend's and friend's Kudedon Bowl. There were two styles of negitoro (minced tuna): spicy and regular. The regular one was beautifully prepared with its pinkish hue. I had added shoyu over all the fish so the saltiness from the shoyu gave it a nice balance of some saltiness. I actually really like the texture of this one as it did remind me of the negitoro nigiris I've had back in Japan! The spicy one had a sweetish flavor with a little kick of spiciness to me. The creamy salmon also had the same thing with a sweetish flavor and a hint of spiciness. All really great flavors and combo together! The fish wasn't fresh but the flavors of each bowl were amazing! Especially the negitoro and salmon bowl which was definitely hands down my favorite! If I get the chance to visit again, definitely would love to get another bowl from them!

    This is one of the restaurants for introverts people. Because they Only 3 seats in the whole restaurant Jk they only sell togo. That's why their chirashi bowl is very fresh and has an affordable price. 15.99$for this beautiful bowl. I enjoy sitting here watch people walking by.

    Black Sesame Tofu
    Vanessa L.

    Sad to see that this place doesnt have many reviews nor many visits as this place has really good chirashi bowls! I ordered the Black Sesame Tofu. The description for it states that it is firm, but it was more of a soft tofu with no crisp edges. It was better that way than i think if it was cooked a little more. Every ingredient meshed well together. They were in layers so the tofu was topped ginger sauce (a sweet ginger mix) with bell peppers and baby greens; second layer was wakame salad, cucumber, and radish; third layer was sushi rice. I honestly could not finish it. Had to eat half for lunch and half for dinner. This is hidden away in the building next to Capital Grille. Chef was patient and nice when i was confused on what i wanted for lunch. Their red entrance door is technically their chef door, but if you do come in through this way, you have access on the right to order right up front. Overall, I will definitely come back here again. One of the best bowls i have ever had in a long time.

    60 degrees and sunshine on a Friday in Seattle felt like a treat yourself type of day so a chirashi bowl at a place only open during the week was fitting. I have no idea how this place has less than a dozen reviews when it's been open for at least 9 months but it could be because it's tucked away inside the lobby of a building. Seating is limited with 6 stools and I liked how I could enjoy my food in peace and quiet while people watching. * KUDEDON I had to get the namesake bowl (the worker said the negitoro & creamy salmon is also popular). It had a bit of everything (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, seared mackerel, grilled eel, shrimp) topped with roe, snow crab, pickled cucumber, yellow pickled radish, microgreens, marinated mushroom, and omelette pieces. The presentation was beautiful and it came with a seaweed packet on the side. I thought the bowl was bland and too plain, and maybe it's because the fish is diced up in small cubes or there's too much going on but I couldn't really taste the individual ingredients. However I found all the ingredients to be fresh and there were packets of soy sauce and ponzu sauce available to add flavor. Kudedon is worth checking out especially if you're a downtown worker and next time I'd get a bowl that has a sauce.

    It's sad they they have such restrictive hours! It's in the heart of Belltown, so it's mainly open for the office workers in the area, hence they're not open for dinner unfortunately. I wouldn't say they're the best Chirashi/poke place in the area (FOB poke will always be my favorite) but the portions are *very* generous. In fact, I ran out of rice before I ran out of fish! If you're not a big eater, this is easily two meals. And if you have a big appetite, this is still very filling! Not bad for $21 after tax and tip. The fish was fresh, and the toppings were super tasty. FOB Poke does have better rice than them though. Beware this is takeout/delivery only, but the building it's in has a few seats. Again, it's mostly for office works to take back to their break rooms. Hopefully they expand their hours because I will be coming back! They have lots of interesting combos on their menu.

    Look guys, this place is really good. It's a bit pricy for your everyday lunch (bowls range from 14 to 17 bucks) but the portion size is satisfying, and every component is meticulously prepared. And it shows. Every bite is fresh, flavorful and ultimately yummy. And I just have to add: I'm not usually the type of person to gush over plating. Im more likely to just stuff food in my mouth because I'm so hungry. But look at these bowls. They literally look like works of art. Even I had to pause (for just a few seconds) to admire how gorgeous the bowl looked.

    Didn't even know this place existed but it's fire! Basically chopped up chirashi bowls good for office workers in downtown Seattle. I think it's related to pane pane because they share a stamp card. I got the og aka kudedon which had a nice variety of fish and egg with rice. It didn't look like much but it was a filling lunch. Make sure to ask for their house made hot sauce as it is actually spicy! Would recommend for a filling and it's not cheap but worth trying lunch!

    Cozy place for a special occasion. Small restaurant. Appears family run…read more Price point for the quality of fish and thickness of cut is reasonable. The popular sashimi plate had sockeye salmon, scallops, king salmon, yellowtail, snapper, and shima aji. 3-4 slices per fish so total about 20ish pieces for $ 75 dollars. Also included salmon roe. Ask which fish is in the plate since it seems to change. Service was good. They serve distilled water which is appropriate for eating raw dish so you actually taste the fish and not the tap water. The star of the night was the miso black cod. Soft buttery and flavorful. Just enough miso to bring out the sweetness of the fish. Some may find it not flavorful enough. It depends on if you are looking for fish flavor or seasoning flavor in my opinion. The only down side is that it's a fatty cut of fish so by the third piece it can be a bit heavy. Ended up cutting the fat with a bit of lemon toward the end and using the shredded pink diakon. For the price of $ 17 dollars, it is quite a good deal as other spots in the area would charge more or give less.

    I found out about the oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle 20 minutes before I ate there for the…read morefirst time. I was around the corner (literally) at a cafe, learning about the history of Seattle's Japantown, when I decided to look up recommendations of restaurants in the district to eat at. Maneki came up, and right after I read about how difficult it is to eat there as a walk-in without a reservation, I looked at the time and realized they were about to open for the evening. So I thought, "challenge accepted," and was in front of their doors in about 30 seconds. There was no one waiting and I was pretty shocked; it wasn't until 5:00 on the nose that other people walked up and got in line behind me, most without reservations. So if you're trying to do a walk-up, don't wait until 5:00 to get in line. Get there early. The owner was nice when I told her I didn't have a reservation and she said while all her tables were full, she had bar seating open if I was interested. I said yes, so I was seated in the Hannya Room (and happened to be wearing my Yakuza Majima sukajan with a hannya on the back) with a handful of other people (bar seating is very limited, maybe 12 seats tops, and the room is very narrow). The bartender was cool and offered to take our phones and take photos of the specials on the wall in the foyer so we all didn't have to walk back over there. I actually ended up getting one of the specials, the chicken katsu cutlet with beef curry. From the regular menu, I got a yaki onigiri and some gyoza (which are described as grandma's recipe and handmade), and from the bar I ordered the reggae punch cocktail (Iichiko saiten shochu, peach schnapps, and cold brew oolong tea). The regular menu is extensive, with a lot of comfort dishes and signature dishes I haven't seen elsewhere. Whether you want meat or seafood, there's something for everyone here. The meal was absolutely delicious. The only thing I didn't care for, unfortunately, was the yaki onigiri, because I felt the shoyu they used was just way too sweet. Yaki onigiri is one of my most favorite things on the planet, and Ippuku in Berkeley makes them perfectly. I was expecting the one at Maneki to be on that level, but I was disappointed. But other than that, the curry had great flavor and bit of a kick of heat, and wasn't skimpy on the beef. Lots of potato, too. The katsu was breaded and fried perfectly and the cutlet was pretty generously sized. The gyoza were great, not oily, each one stuffed with meat. I enjoyed the reggae punch and would order it again. I also ordered a glass of iced oolong, so I was feeling pretty refreshed on this warm afternoon with my two drinks. The bartender, who was handling both drinks and food service, was a nice guy with a good sense of humor. The owner also chatted with me on my way out and gave me a little history about why they decided to name the bar the Hannya Room, and some background on all the hannya masks on the wall in the bar. I'd love to come back here the next time I'm in Seattle, but especially to be able to dine in one of the tatami rooms. This was a great meal and it was awesome being able to support this important part of the local history of Seattle's Japantown.

My boyfriend was very pleased with the curry and katsu saying that we had to come back and try the other dishes. The iced green tea was refreshing, the salad's dressing for the side salad was pleasant and the miso soup had tofu, seaweed and green onion so it was excellent!

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.

    I wanted to go out for sushi with my parents, so i settled on this place. great gem in cap hill…read more loved the little japanese tea garden in the middle of the restaurant. lots of seating, and there were still people waiting on a Wednesday night. the servers were attentive and speedy. they brought some edamame over. delicious. No notes or critiques I love edamame. To drink, I had one of their specialty cocktails. It was their take on a spicy Marg. It was honestly a stellar drink. It was a perfect balance of citrus and spice. I would order this drink again without a doubt good presentation too. We had the toro sampler which came with three different types of Toro with three different toppings. It was cool to get to try the different types of Toro, and I enjoyed tasting them side-by-side to see the differences. The toppings were one of their house, sauces, fried garlic, and chives. I enjoyed the house sauce the best. I was also looking forward to the Crispy Rice which came with crispy rice w/ salmon roe, wasabi aioli, & aonori with spicy tuna. You could choose what type of fish went on it, but obviously we got tuna. This was a yummy bite. Came out piping hot. Beautiful presentation. The tuna was perfectly prepared. The salmon roll was an interesting touch but actually worked well. I think it's sacrilegious to go out for sushi and not get miso soup, so We also added a miso soup to our order. Solid miso soup. No critiques. Came out piping hot. Because I felt like we needed a vegetable, we had the House Spring Mix which came with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes & cucumber w/ spicy garlic ponzu. I enjoy the salad dressings at Japanese restaurants because I feel like they're very distinct. I don't think this one was as distinct, but it was still good. The cherry tomatoes weren't mushy at all, which I appreciated. I do enjoy a spring mix, but Romain or arugula will always have my heart. Moving onto rolls. We started with the Capitol Hill Roll which came with snow crab mix, avocado & cucumber topped w/ seared salmon, scallions, tobiko, sweet aioli, sweet chili & soy glaze. This was my favorite roll of the night, but I would love to go back and try some of their other rolls. They have a huge menu. I love a sushi that has seared salmon, but IDK if that still makes it sushi. My dad loves asparagus, so we got the El Diablo shrimp tempura, shibazuke & asparagus topped w/ seared snow crab legs, pico de gallo & chipotle. It wasn't the most traditional roll, but I did enjoy it. I probably wouldn't order it again when there's so many other good things to try on their menu, but Im glad that I got to try two rolls. Because we're celebrating my mom's birthday, they brought ice cream. It was a solid ice cream, even though we just got vanilla. It had good flavoring, even for vanilla.

    Stopped in for happy hour with some friends. Lots of options on the menu but still a bit on the…read morepricey side. We got there with an hour left on HH on a Wednesday night with no reservation and got seated pretty quickly. 1/5 Edamame came out cold and needed more salt - although complementary it should really come out hot 3/5 Bad boy 3/5 Crunch Seattle 3/5 Crunch cali 3/5 Seaweed salad Not a huge fan of the fried rolls. It was probably our fault, as we ordered three instead of getting a variety. The seaweed salad was topped on some greens which I would've just preferred the seaweed without it. Just a chill nice place. Cute garden in the middle and there's plenty of seating in the back.

    What an incredible little poke/bento box that is quick and affordable!…read more There is very limited seating here, which makes it really feel like you're in Japan. The menu isn't too expansive, instead offering a few dishes at high quality. I ordered the Gyo Gyo En Bento Box (I had to, the dish had the restaurant's name in it!). It included large chunks of salmon poke, tuna salad, pickled cabbage, curry, imitation crab salad and seaweed - what a deal! Portions were generous and taste was delicious. Our party also ordered a shoyu ramen and salmon poke bowl and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Service was excellent as well. I'm tempted to come back here the follow day just to try something different!

    The food is good. The portions apparently have commitment issues!…read more Gyo Gyo En is tiny. A handful of small tables, some counter seating, and not much room to spare. It's definitely cozy, though "cozy" is doing some work here. I tried the Creamy Wagyu Ramen and the Premium Bara-Chirashi Bento. The ramen was good, with the creamy broth doing most of the heavy lifting. Rich, flavorful, and enjoyable all the way through. It never got overly heavy or tiring; although, given the portion size, it may simply not have been given enough time to wear out its welcome. The noodles were pleasantly soft, held onto the broth nicely, and kept their texture until the end. Nothing particularly memorable about the noodles themselves, they understood their assignment: transport broth to mouth. The Wagyu was tender and cooked well. My only complaint? There wasn't enough of it. A recurring theme, as it turns out. The chirashi was also good. The salmon was the standout; fresh and easily my favorite part of the bento. The octopus was noticeably firmer and chewier than I'm used to, bordering on too tough, though not enough to ruin it. I was also a little disappointed to see packaged wasabi. With a premium chirashi, I was hoping for something better. And again: the portion was small. The prices are a little high, but being next to Amazon means I came prepared for that. What I wasn't prepared for was the portion apparently being optimized for cloud storage! Good food, minimal footprint.
