outdoor covered patio
Amara I.

BEST sushi I have ever had. Eel tempura roll. Service is generally decent and polite. There is an indoor area and out door patio both very cute and decorated. I will say i haven't ordered any raw fish here so can't accurately gauge that rating. Happy hour rolls for the win!!

Spider Roll, Dragon Roll, and Seattle Roll
Diana C.

The sushi was tasty and they prepared it pretty quickly for a walk in take out order. The menu is pretty large and diverse for sushi options too! They also have a vegetarian section. The hostess was very kind and kept me updated on my order status and offered water while I waited. There's a decent sized dinning room and it's got a classy and classic sushi house vibe. Would definitely come back to use the coupon they gave me too!

Poke Don (raw fish)
Joanne W.

Cute little place in cap hill. It was alright. There's a decent amount of selection to choose from and the staff were nice as well. The rock fish dish was a bit salty for my preference. Not my favorite. The poke don was ok too. The fish was ok, I believe I have had fresher fish. There were a lot of flies around where I was sitting so it was a bit of waving the flies away. The prices are ok, maybe a bit high for what the quality is. I'm not entirely wowed by it but the people were friendly.

Very nice Japanese restaurant located very close to Ba Bar and also Seattle U - excellent Japanese cuisine, great service and roomier interior. Recommended and check it out!

Chicken Teriyaki
Dana G.

Food was enjoyable. A tiny bit pricey, $62 for one appetizer and two meals. I suppose that's the reality we live in! Interesting that while we were there was a bridal party eating as well, seems like a popular place for locals that are so enjoyable you'll eat there for your bridal party! Service was kind and quick. Didn't wait long for our food. Not sure if there was a back but there were only about 5-8 tables in the restaurant.

Agadashi tofu
Ruochen W.

I had a recent Japanese food gap in my life and the sushi tonight hit the spot so perfectly. The portions here are respectable from the rolls to the appetizer agadashi tofu. We got a special dragon roll and a torched crab roll and were absolutely blown away with how fresh and smoky the fish was. The big surprise at the end was a small coffee flan. That sweet complimentary treat was a great ending to a delicious meal.

Cheesecake with Strawberry Compote
Wendi K.

SOOOOOO good! Stylish, cozy but also date-worthy interior spot with great sushi. We got sake ($15) as well as a few plates of sushi. -Sushi Combo A ($31): 9 pieces of nigiri and a spider roll -Negihama Roll ($10): Yellowtail and Scallions -Can't remember what the third roll was but it was also great Everything was wonderfully plated, super fresh, and tasted amazing. Also the owner is so nice!!! He gave us complimentary miso soup as well as a slice of cheesecake as they were testing out a new recipe.

Storefront.
Ben C.

Your local hole in the wall ~ a bit confined seating, for a new spot the house-like decor giving off a late 90s vibe. Expensive for everyday sushi. Extensive menu like a diner, almost too much. Rice texture was just ok. Oddly slow and inattentive service and food unexpedited for being the only table. Again, expensive.

Lion Roll Royal Dragon Roll
Shelby C.

Cute little spot with clean quiet ambience. Came with a group of 5 and was sat immediately. The menu has an almost overwhelming amount of options. The sushi roll prices are comparable to other sushi places and quality was good. The manager or owner gave us all free samples of coffee flan they made in house

Choice Bento Box
Rose Y.

A year later, my meal was disappointing. Grilled fish was dry, tempura wasn't hot and they served shrimp when I asked for all veggies, salmon sashimi was good but tuna wasn't as fresh, spicy tuna rolls were tasty. Salad was drenched in dressing. All in all meh. Too bad as mg prior experience was much better.

Chirashi Bowl
Katy H.

Great menu with awesome udon and chirashi bowls. The bento lunch specials are also generous. In the summer there is a cute little patio out back to dine in.

Inside restaurant
Kelley H.

I really wanted to love this place... but honestly it was not great. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing- some places are better when you order their signature plates. They had several raw fish and other specialities. We ordered seaweed salad, dragon roll, crunchy crab roll and classic California roll. The total was $85 and in opinion, the rolls were very mediocre. Not very fresh and not the best quality. Very disappointing.

Left to right -   Royal Dragon Roll, Fire Crab Roll, Pacific Roll
Jessica N.

So many amazing sushi spots in Seattle and now I need to add this one to the list. Good thing about this spot is there's something for all types of sushi lovers. From seared, to tempura, to veggie and sashimi, the menu has it all. Our favorite rolls were the royal dragon roll and the fire crab roll. Great spot for groups, lots of space and nice look and feel.

Our server was also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gluten allergies, which made ordering so easy. They were very accommodating and helped us feel confident about what I could safely eat.

We chose the counter seats after waiting for 40 minutes in the lobby and was told it may be another 30 min to get a table. However, I strongly advise against them unless you're planning a quick lunch. The seats are extremely uncomfortable, and people constantly walk past you. Food we ordered: * Crispy rice sampler: A-OK. The tuna is chopped and smothered in spicy mayo and masago * Ahi tuna poke: Recommended! * Ora king salmon sashimi: Decent, kind of fishy though * Filet mignon plate: A-OK but not very filling * Ponyo roll: A-OK * Umi house roll: Would not recommend * Ginger chicken plate: Very salty and does not come with rice The ambiance here is moody and dark, with multiple seating options including a bar, sushi bar, main area, and semi-private floor seating. The food was decent, and the service was fine. The turnaround from ordering to receiving the food was relatively quick, taking about 10-15 minutes. Considering the quality of the food I experienced, their happy hour might be more worthwhile. However, at regular prices, I don't think it's a good deal.

We first heard about Sushi Kashiba during a food tour of Pike Place Market. Our tour guide…read morementioned that it is widely considered one of the best sushi restaurants in Seattle. Since my wife and I love sushi and were flying back home to LA the following morning, I immediately reserved a table for us at the restaurant for that same evening. Sushi Kashiba is known for its omakase, or chef's choice dinner. However, we went with the set tasting menu called "Peak" since we're not fans of surprises. The Peak option included 14 pieces of nigiri sushi, a cup of salmon roe garnished with wasabi, a fried shrimp head, 2 maki rolls, a light sashimi salad, and miso soup. Additionally, we ordered the tempura set which came with shrimp and assorted vegetables. We came here with high expectations, and this place did not disappoint. Every piece of sushi was a work of art-fresh and perfectly prepared. I've never had toro, tamago, and eel this good. And I've been to some highly regarded sushi restaurants in LA. I even enjoyed the shrimp head. It was crunchy and incredibly delicious. This isn't your typical neighborhood sushi spot. It's a high-end establishment that serves nothing but the best the world has to offer. For that privilege, it's going to cost you. The damage for our meal was over $450. And that was without any alcohol. However, it was totally worth it. I would most definitely come back here again if I were to ever return to the Emerald City.

The seafood is fresh, as expected, and whether you're working with the head chef or one of the apprentices, you're going to get a great meal at half the price of what you'd pay for a similar vibe in California. I wouldn't eat here if not committing to the omakase (or the chef's counter), but try to arrive earlier for the better seats (even with a reservation). The progression of the meal is something unique; they pair some of the fish together so you get to experience different flavors concurrently, which I thought was very clever.

This was our first ever omakase and we were simply blown away. The fish quality was out of this world and I really appreciated the variety throughout the courses.

The omakase is also offered at a very accessible price point and can't be beat for value.

Friendly staff, helpful, and they were quick to refill my water or answer any questions. Best part of my visit I'd say! Food - Perhaps it's what I ordered, but the sushi roll I got just didn't do it for me. It tasted somewhat bland and the fish didn't taste fresh to me. I believe it was the Mexican Ninja roll. It was good enough to eat, but probably one of the more underwhelming rolls I've had in my sushi life. Overall, I think this place is worth checking out because the ambiance and service were top notch. I may have just shown up on a bad night. I would come back and try something else if I ever found myself back in the area.

RONDO DELUXE BENTO , it just felt like the karage was not that amazing and it lacked something. I'm not sure...but maybe it's their batter cause even the other fried fish's taste just felt like it was off(not in the sense that it was unedible type) but it just lacked something that I can't put my finger on. So in terms of the taste of the food, I just felt it was pretty mediocre but the amount of food was pretty good for HH.

The service was fantastic. Every single person who came to our table was incredibly kind and attentive, and everything came out surprisingly quickly despite how much we ordered. And the food was delicious! We tried the sashimi, a couple of udon dishes, the charred fish, tofu, edamame, and honestly a few other dishes I'm probably forgetting because we ordered so much. We also had the hot tea, which was wonderful. Everything we tried was impressive. More than anything, though, Maneki felt like an experience rather than just a dinner. Our whole family loved it, including the kids, and it's one of those meals we'll be talking about for a long time. Absolutely worth visiting, and somewhere we would happily come back to the next time we're in Seattle.

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.
