Had an AMAZING omakase experience with Taro and Yuto! From entering the shop to leaving, we were met with hospitality. Shiro's was a unique experience because it didn't feel like "traditional" fine dining. The restaurant and atmosphere was more casual, but the quality of the food and prices were high. Taro was a great sushi chef and host. He was knowledgeable and entertaining, and he created such a positive vibe for the whole group. I loved the descriptions and stories he told us about each dish. As for the actual omakase, I loved every single piece served. The creations and flavor combinations were so unique and delicious. Taro and Yato also offered substitutions if you didn't like something or couldn't eat it. There was someone in our group who didn't eat shrimp, and they happily served her an individual dish of something different when the shrimp was served. They were also kind enough to put less wasabi on each of my pieces, per my request. My boyfriend and I were the only ones who ordered dessert, so we were the last 2 people in the restaurant while they were cleaning up lol. But we never felt rushed! And I am SO glad we opted for dessert! The mochi was so interesting to try, and you can customize it to how you like it with the brown sugar syrup and soybean powder. The matcha tiramisu was so creamy and not overly sweet. Definitely recommend trying the desserts - they were fairly priced too! By the end of the meal, I was satiated and not overly full. And I also drank a lot of iced barley tea (SO good too!)! Another important note is that I really appreciate how you can make reservations for the sushi bar and not have to wait in line. read more

A must every time I'm in Seattle. This small unassuming place has the best sushi! This spot is special, as their style is Edomae style sushi using fresh local and Japanese seafood. While we were here, they only offered two types of dining - table omakase and sushi bar omakase. I've experienced both and definitely recommend the sushi bar omakase. They didn't offer a la carte items unless it was add on to the omakase. Table Omakase - you get 19 pieces of chef's selection nigiri. The server brings your items to the table. They do have a premium add-on where it includes appetizer, hot appetizer and dessert. Shiro's Omakase -15 pieces of chef's selection nigiri and 4 appetizers at the sushi bar - so much interaction with the chefs! It's was definitely a fun night with Chefs Sean and Chris. You are provided the omakase menu ahead of time and you may let them know if you have any allergies. Hojicha Tiramisu - I'm still dreaming of you! Sooo yummy! It's very traditional on the inside with minimal décor. Service was great! Make sure to make reservations in advance. Definitely recommended! read more

A great omakase experience, the sushi chefs for the bar service were fun to listen to during their explanations of each plate/nigiri. If you sit at the bar you have to order the Omakase. When I went the best nigiri was either the chutoro or the ebi. Easier to get a reservation here than the other places which is a plus. read more

Food was absolutely incredible. This restaurant gave me a new appreciation for white fish, which I've had at several sushi restaurants before. Every single course did not disappoint. The quality and flavors are superior. We shared a matcha parfait which was also tasty. Service goes beyond 5 stars for me. Our waiter Adrian was so attentive, even noticing my partner is left handed. (And considered how that might be for him when the dishes come out. We didn't even think to consider that. Wow!) And huge shout out to another waitress there who was able to squeeze us in on same day last minute reservation. She also helped me when something valuable of mine fell out of my pocket - so honest. I can't thank her enough. Eating here was the highlight of my trip. read more

Delicious! Big fan of their chef's menu. Everything was fresh. Couldn't recommend more.

Got some takeout from this Asian place in Belltown. It doesn't have much room inside and it's always crowded. Shiro's is a hard place to get a table. Oh well, it was still pretty good. They have the classics like tempura and that kind of stuff. Crowded and it has just opened minutes earlier. It's got kind of limited hours. They're only open in the evenings, so it's a place that's not good for lunch. Has kind of high prices, but not crazy. It's about $14 for the Vegetable Tempura. This has cauliflower, green beans, and the expected types of vegetables. Batter was thick and coated these good. The rest of the menu has seafood like crab and sushi. Kind of limited as far as vegetarian choices. They do have a few things. Has sushi and lots more. It's located in Belltown on 2nd Avenue at Battery Street. The options are kind of limited for vegans and vegetarians. read more

A wonderful experience and although can be pricey worth it for a special birthday dinner for my best friend. Shes never had omakase before and we had everything on the menu! Woohoo! As you can see, the bites were pretty to see, and they tasted as good. The ambiance isn't worth writing mama about, since very small and tight and weird layout, it had to do when the food experience was great. I did hope that the server was more well verse on the food options including drinks but for a less expensive omakase, this is ok. They don't offer hard liquor so that was a negative for me lol! May go again but not soon! Glad to get this off my foodie list (: read more

While in the Seattle, my partner booked a reservation for date night at Shiro's! When we arrived to the restaurant, we were seated promptly and was given a menu with extra items that we could add in addition to the 19 course base menu. When you book this restaurant, you have two options of either booking in the dining area (19 course, $85 pp) or the sushi bar ($140 pp). We decided to sit in the dining area and add items such as the Black Cod, and Crispy Rice appetizer. The ambiance of the place is great as the sushi chefs have great energy and are engaging with the guests at the bar and in the dining area. The fish was very fresh, and I loved that everything was timed pretty well so that each course set came at the right time. The black cod I would say is a must get if you happen to come here! It was featured in the New York Times and honestly is a great addition to the meal. This is a great restaurant for date night or special events. Make sure to book a reservation ahead of time as on weekends this restaurant is packed for dinner. If I was ever in Seattle again, I would probably give this place a visit again! read more

Hands down the best omakase and sushi experience I have experienced. The chefs were traditional and authentic, servers were very knowledgeable and sweet. The fish quality was out of this world and was so memorable. It was awesome to get to see each location they got the fish and how perfectly curated the selection was. The restaurant was very quaint and intimate but I love that you can see the chefs working their magic from anywhere you sit which is very special. I would come back and do the omakase sitting at the bar and being handed the sushi from the chefs would take it up another level, the price point was solid at about $85 per person! This was an excellent meal and you shouldn't skip shiros read more

I went back to have my husband, FIL, sister & niece experience the goodness, and was SHOCKED to see that they had a Kaiseki meal option! Everywhere else that even has a Kaiseki charges 3x-4x more than here. So we all opted for the Kaiseki. Hot Tip: they only make 10 per day, so get an early reservation! So it ended up being an amazing 7 course meal, 3 appetizers & 11 pieces of sushi. Everything was delicious, but the fish ball broth was a bit weird, most of us didn't really like it, but EVERYTHING ELSE WAS AMAZINGGGGG!!! As we walked in there were a couple cute little window boxes in the wall with cute characters inside as we walked in, my niece took pictures. The waitperson took our coats & hung them up so we're weren't stuffed into our seats. Then the food was amazing - a very great experience all around! read more

Came on a Tuesday night for a girls date, made reservations ahead of time and came here straight from the airport for an 8:45pm seating time at the bar. Starts at $140 per person for omakase. Came here a while ago and realized I never wrote a review, and I still think about it often. Pros: - Best tasting omakase I've ever been to, better than anything in the East Bay California - Super friendly chef and assistant chef, great hospitality - Really fresh tasting fish, and very unique takes on them too (but not TOO weird where it takes over the fish flavor) - surprisingly did not leave hungry - Very good storyteller chef and knowledgeable, answered our questions. Honestly, above and beyond. photos speak for themselves. Can't wait to take more friends here. absolutely 10/10 read more

I've been craving phenomenal sushi for a long time. I'm so happy that I decided to celebrate my birthday at Shiro's! Definitely make sure you make rsvps at the bar! 100% worth the experience! Sean and Taro made an unforgettable experience! Everything was delicious from beginning to start!! My favorite was their special flounder with uni. It wasn't part of the omakase but it ended up as my #1 favorite of the night! All the pieces kept getting better and better after each bite! Can't wait to come back and eat here again! read more

I visited Shiro's brother company Kusakabe a year ago in SF, CA and learned about Shiro's. So I've been wanting to pay a visit since then. I visited Shiro's on a Sunday evening for omakase at the sushi bar. Reservations are required online, so plan ahead. Food: The omakase menu includes 15 pieces of nigiri, an appetizer, soup, and a tempura dish. Most of the fish is imported from Japan, offering a chance to try unique and fresh flavors. While the selection was delicious--especially the uni and toro--the portions felt small, and I was still hungry after. Thankfully, the chef kindly offered additional pieces. The entire experience lasted just about an hour, which was shorter than I expected. Service: The staff was warm and welcoming, assisting with coat check as soon as I entered. The chef thoroughly explained each piece, adding to the experience. Ambiance: The space is clean, cozy, and styled with authentic Japanese aesthetics. Tip: Located in Belltown, Shiro's doesn't have dedicated parking. Allow extra time to find street or paid parking nearby. Overall, Shiro's is a good choice for fresh, high-quality omakase and though portions. I couldn't say it's one of the best I've had but decent enough. read more

I was lucky enough to grab a restaurant week reservation for the chef's choice sushi menu. The service was fantastic and the meal flowed well. It was very interesting to taste four different cuts of tuna in a row. This was a great value for how much quality sushi you get! My only complaint is some of the bites were a little fishy and some were completely overpowered by wasabi. I'm glad I tried it but I probably will not be coming back. Would recommend for the experience! read more

First of all, 19 pcs of nigiri for $85! Such a steal. Everything is served in 5 courses, and at the end you can order anything you'd like a la carte. I can't stress enough how reasonably priced the items here are, and I can't believe how long it took for me to finally try this spot! During every course, I was thinking to myself how I did not want this meal to end lol. I honestly can't decide what my favorite pieces of nigiri were because everything was just that good. I definitely recommend getting dessert! We ended up going with the matcha tiramisu and hojicha panna cotta. They were both so yummy!! I'm already planning my next visit hehe There aren't many seats at the counter here, so they will often be all booked. However, the service received while sitting at a table is just as wonderful :) read more

Came here during happy hour with 2 other friends on a weekday and got the omakase. Safe to say it is TOTALLY worth it!! Fish is so fresh and the staff does a great job of letting you know more about where the fish is from. There's more tables in the back and there was a ton of people when we went. It's a little noisy for me but won't stop me from coming back! Street parking only. read more

Sitting here at the SeaTac Airport and finally having some time to write this review for Shiro's. Me and a cousin were recommended to check this place out and luckily landed a reservation at 8:45pm on a Friday. I would highly recommend booking ahead of time because reservations do fill up quick for the omakase section (Sushi bar). The overall ambiance of the restaurant was casual and relaxing with servers zooming in and around the aisles. All of them were really friendly and accommodating! We arrived and were sat promptly as our time came. Chef Sean was our host today and what an amazing human being and character he has. He was explaining everything to us to what piece of sushi was being served as well as every dish. From their origin, where the fish is from, how it is prepared, and all the meticulous details in between. If you have never done omakase, this is definitely the place to do it. It was my first time and being from California, chef Sean made me feel like I was at home being served a meal from my grandma. The other chef, Chef Taro, was assisting him and he was an awesome character as well. To be honest I was worried I wouldn't be full from the meal we had but we had I believe 15 pieces of sushi and a couple of hot dishes. The price per person is around $140 and for that price, it is hands down the best sushi I've ever had and filled me up as well! The price isn't just about the sushi quality though, it is definitely about the experience and Chef Sean and Taro definitely go above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Please go try the omakase course if you can, and give Chef Sean and Chef Taro the biggest compliments you can! You will not regret checking this place out. Thank you again Chefs for the greatest omakase experience I've ever had. (photos won't be labeled since the sushi changes) read more

The original GOAT! Before there were a bunch of great sushi options in Seattle there was Shiro's. It was the place you went to have the best sushi in town. And, even though Shiro himself is long gone, the quality remains (and is generally better than Kashiba in my opinion!) When you walk in you might not be immediately impressed because it's clear that Shiro's has been around for a long time. The interior is dated and it doesn't look like you're in for a high quality contemporary omakase experience. But rest assured, you will be. Reading the other reviews the general scope of the omakase experience is covered but I do want to call out the tuna in particular. I've had tuna courses as part of the omakase here that are better than almost any others I've ever had. I love it when they, on occasion, provide tuna in five different pieces. It's so, so, so good. May Shiro's carry on forever as key part of the legacy of Seattle's great dining landscape! read more

This was a really unexpected surprise. I don't give five stars often. But we had kind and friendly and informative service. They even seated us before our reservation. They checked in at the right times and the food experience didn't feel like a long time. It is a bit inconspicuous of a place on a corner in Seattle, and the inside doesn't give off a pretentious high class vibe. It feels like you're transported to a small but bustling restaurant in Japan. The chefs were friendly, entertaining and took pride in their work. The food was spectacular. Like with all tasting menus or omakase, if you go to a good place, you will try new things. There was one course that wasn't my favorite, but the rest was fresh, skillfully prepared and tasted great. Their omakase starts at $85 per person and is definitely worth it. read more

I came here for the Che's Choice Sushi Course that many people have been raving about, but I was quite disappointed. I love the detail and thought behind the order of serving the sushi and selecting fish from various places around the globe, but flavors were quite bland. While they attempt to go fancy with salts and sauces, it just didn't hit the spot for us. Service and sake were great, but I wouldn't come here for omakase sushi style at this price point. It was a very boring selection at $85/person and we added the supplemental appertizer at $25. read more

A fantastic spot to go alone or with company with price points that are truly reasonable. My friends and I did the 19 course dinner and it was maybe one of the most affordable but fantastic quality sushi I've had in a long time. Establishment - clean, simple, cozy, and intimate. The sushi bar sits in the front dining area, and though not seated at the sushi bar, it was still entertaining to watch the sushi chefs work together and interact with the guests. Also loved that it didn't give off a stuffy vibe as it felt much more casual. Service - I made a reservation for the chef's dinner, so once my friends and I got there we were immediately given the menu of what to expect that night. The server was extremely kind and welcoming, and was very attentive. She even noticed that I was left-handed and accommodated how she placed my plate in front of me. Very impressed by that! Food - oh my goodness. So, so good. Almost every bite made me do a little happy dance. I also loved that the server informed us which pieces was already flavored or seasoned so that we didn't need to accompany it with soy sauce. My top favorites have to include sea bass, the Fuji salmon, the otoro, and the sweet shrimp. We also ordered barley tea to go with our meal since it was chilly outside. Needless to say, if you're looking to treat yourself and/or your friends to good sushi but don't want to break the bank, I would highly recommend this spot. read more

** overall 4.75 stars ** (sushi bar counter) As Chef Sean would say "'number 1 sushi in Seattle" and I can say by far no comparison. If I ever return to Seattle I'd come back here first and only here over other spots . It's more laidback and casual but out performs in quality. The quality of fish from here is some of the best I've previously had throughout the 10+ omakases . There were also some pieces of fish that I've had for the first time. Especially given the price/ value ratio I would honestly put this as a personal top 4/5 ranking behind only the highest end of experiences I've had in SF ( the Shota, kusakabe, etc) There's only a few knocks to the experience. Namely - venue. Food: 5/5 All the fish were top quality and excellent. In particular the tuna quality stood out to me. The Akami (lean tuna) was as soft and smooth as a chutoro that I've had from other spots and the chutoro from here was like an otoro level. The uni was also so good. It had a rich, nutty, complex flavor that was creamy and so clean. There was no ocean taste at all. Service - 4.25 out of 5 stars We were served by chef Sean and he was very funny and interactive. We enjoyed how he tried to conversate with the bar group and give a backstory of each fish. The fact the bar seating was also only limited to 8 people and had fish served 1 at a time was a nice experience compared to another Seattle omakase spot. The wait staff was decent - they seemed to be split between the bar group and the rest of the restaurant so it did take some time to get refills on drinks but nothing too bad. Venue - 2.5/5 stars My biggest issue was that the restaurant was loud - like almost so loud I couldn't even hear the chef who was right in front of me. There seemed to be a large private party in the back and their sound leaked into the main room forcing everyone else to speak at a louder volume to compensate.. The restaurant also is slightly dated, it feels as if the room could go through a renovation and deep clean. There were also some of those pesky small fruit flies that would occasionally need to be shooed away which was a tad irritating but the chefs workspace was clean read more

Such a great atmosphere, wish we could have done the omakase but it must be booked way in advance.

A definite 5/5! I did the omikase experience and wow!! There were several nigiri sushi that live in my head rent free lol. I attached the menu of the day/season so the pics should be in order starting from the first course and on. The Fuji salmon, blue fin tuna pieces, buri, madai, Suzuki, and unagi are seriously tasty i had to order some of these pieces ala carte just to taste them again!!! We also had the "demon slayer" sake, you know I had to! It was really good and on the fruity side. Amazing customer service and very welcoming!! I want to come back whenever I'm in Seattle again. This is definitely pricey but worth it! read more

I just came back from a trip to Japan so my sushi standards are high right now especially for nigiri. The omakase was a decent price for 19 pieces of nigiri. However, I was disappointed on the portion of rice they used. They needed more as some of the rice pieces fell apart since there wasn't enough to hold the pieces together. The rice itself was just OK. The flavor could be easily found at cheaper sushi restaurants. The fish itself was very good for being in the Seattle area. When I tried the fish that was imported from Japan at this restaurant, I could definitely taste a difference from when I went on my trip. The flavor was milder and the texture was a bit tougher (could be because it has to be frozen to ship overseas). It tasted like cheaper sushi I'd get from Japan, which is still pretty good. However, I was expecting a little more given the price point and ambiance. The presentation of the courses was unimpressive. Every plate they used looked unoriginal... nicer sushi places usually put more thought into changing their presentation with the courses. Not a huge deal, but for a nicer sushi restaurant I'd expect better presentation. I do recommend the matcha tiramisu! It's not a strong matcha flavor, but the flavor is so good. The time between courses was a bit long, but just make sure to eat slower so it lasts longer. Overall, if you want a Japanese omakase experience, then this is a good basic place to go. However, I'm not sure I'd go back again since I've had better nigiri and omakase elsewhere. read more

A friend and I ended up here for her birthday. And though she selected the place for who she believed was the owner, who isn't anymore - we still had a great Sushi experience. I'm not mentioning parking because I have no clue about parking in the area. We walked from our hotel a few blocks away. I'll start off by saying, make reservations. We were there during the week and the place was jammed from the moment we walked in until we left. Both the tables and the Sushi bar. There was a Sashimi Omakase which I would have preferred but only late seating was available. Not that it mattered, we still enjoyed the Sushi Omakase we opted for. Service was excellent. Attentive. Friendly. Informative. So much so that I wonder if you have to pass a test to describe each Sushi offering before you're allowed to be a server. Of course I'm kidding but our server describing each round didn't sound scripted. Didn't sound pompous either. The team was great with refills, adding to our order and clearing the table as they noticed we were doing the pics thing for the Gram. Needless to say we enjoyed dinner. She really loved the Tamago. It was later shared that Tamago was the previous Chef's recipe. The Chef she based her decision to choose Shiro's for dinner. Night was capped with a complimentary birthday dessert; Tiramisu. Awesome way to lift someone's spirits to celebrate the day of reminder that they're getting old. Sorry no pics. It was all videos. Go see my IG if you wanna see it all read more

Food: if I could give this place 10 stars, I would do that in a heartbeat. This was the best quality sushi I have had in my whole life thus far. I am originally from LA and was traveling Seattle with my boyfriend. We have never had omakase before, and a lot of our friends had recommended this place, and it really did not disappoint. And we went at a great time when it was the tail end of Seattle restaurant week, so we got to try their omakase at a discounted price! Every single piece that came out was so fresh, so high quality, and just... a piece of art. My personal favorite was sweet shrimp and scallop, but my boyfriend went crazy for the bluefin variety. We both thoroughly enjoyed our experience here, and will definitely be coming back when we are back in Seattle next time! Price: since it was Seattle restaurant week, our omakase course was $65, but we also opted for the $15 premium plates, which was so worth it! I hear their normal pricing is closer to $85 for just the normal course. Ambiance: the restaurant is located in a corner, and you can see the outside with people walking by. The place is dimly lit, clean, with a little bit of cozy warm feeling. There are several sushi chefs located at the bar, making conversation and working hard, but also enjoying their time! Perfect for fancy date nights. Service: amazing, our server explained to us in detail each sushi piece, and told us exactly how to eat them, whether to use soy sauce or not. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. How luxurious! Parking: my boyfriend and I ubered from our hotel in downtown to this restaurant, so not aware of the parking situation, but seemed like it was pretty limited. read more

Oh my goodness this place was so good! We did table dining on a Saturday night. We got the Chef's Choice omakase option that came with 19 pieces. Made the reservation days before and then changed our reservation time a couple times throughout the same day and it was super easy through Resy. I loved the quality and freshness of all the pieces. Course 3 was probably my favorite, though everything was delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable about each item as well. Spent $200 for two people - miso soup, omakase, and dessert. Totally worth it! read more

**April 2024: Weeknight Dinner** My good friend treated me to an early birthday dinner here with the knowledge that the restaurant was owned by Chef Shiro, an apprentice of Jiro from the documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." He's no longer works at this restaurant however, we didn't know that. We called on the day of (in the afternoon) to inquire about reservations and were told that the chefs counter only had a 9pm) seating available. - my friend and I enjoy eating dinner on the earlier side so we opted for a table. FYI - Patrons sitting at the table can enjoy the sushi omakase ($85) versus the counter is sashimi omakase - which was kind of a bummer, but we were looking forward to some fresh seafood. We started the meal with some Genmai- Cha ($6.50) which was a roasted rice matcha hot green tea and had a very earth smooth flavor. We were served 5 courses of various sushi with each fish described in great detial. The sushi was fresh and good, but the tamago was a standout - which I know is really strange, but hear me out. It's all egg, but somehow it was super fluffy and tasted like cake - it was the weirdest thing, but also very memorable. We were later informed that this was Chef Shiros recipe which makes sense. We ended our meal with a complimentary surprise tiramisu birthday dessert, which was delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed it and hope that on my next visit I'll get to try the sashimi omakase! read more

Such an amazing meal! Everything exceeded my expectations! My husband and I came for restaurant week on a Wednesday night. Definitely make reservations if you plan to dine-in. The restaurant week special was their table omakase for $65 ( normally around $85) for 19 pieces of nigiri. Such a great deal and everything was so fresh and delicious! Other items we added on to our omakase set + genmai tea + chawanmushi (without the uni) - super tasty and salmon eggs added a nice flavor + black cod - very tasty and great portion! + hojicha tiramisu - such a great way to end the meal! Overall, I was so impressed with everything! Food was so good, service was good, and the overall experience is one of my favorites in Seattle! Definitely will be back again! read more

I've been lucky enough to have experienced the exorbitantly bougie luxury that is Omakase a decent amount of times in my life, both in my home of New York City and a number of other various international locales of similar ranking so take that into account when I declare this was quite likely the best I've ever had. This further solidifies my belief that I had developed over the years upon increasingly regular visits to California, that the west coast of the US is just generally much superior when it comes to sushi, as soul crushing as that is to acknowledge. While its beyond grotesque to ever refer to something this obnoxiously ostentatious as a bargain, it must be stated that on the relative scale of Omakase in general this $140 fee for 15 pieces of the chefs choice of world class sushi interspersed with 4 kitchen courses ranging from sashimi to savory custard to tempura definitely qualifies as a very good value comparatively, as well as a very filling meal that will leave no room for dessert. Things kicked off with a beautifully presented seasonal sashimi plate, before diving into the main event. The Omakase selection was etherial, a delicious mix of top tier freshly flown in imports and more local offerings showcasing the glorious bounty of the nearby PNW cold waters. It was impossible to keep track of all the glorious bites but some of the highlights included snappy marlin and a sweet shrimp prepared two way, raw and flash fried, bracingly fresh scallop and deviously unctuous uni hand roll to top things off, all paired with perfectly prepared and seasoned rice and seaweed of the highest order. The highlight for me however would have to be the uber fatty toro we were presented with near the meals conclusion, rich fatty and meaty melting in my mouth in a manner more like, the best steaks I've ever experienced, dare I say better. This could have been a contender for my all time best Omakase experience based on the strength of the fish and rice alone, but luckily enough the service managed to equal the cuisine in greatness. The proceedings were led by chef Sean, a masterful host and entertainer if there ever was one, and his equally brilliant and lovable team. They'll have you laughing and engaging at any of the moments in between those life-changing bites. No trip to Seattle should be arranged without booking an Omakase here if at all possible. read more
