    Fish is all flown in from Japan, 3x/week; rice is the perfect texture and temperature. Service is excellent, and very friendly (shout out to Masa!). No complaints, no notes; can't wait to come back.

    $200 per person @ sushi counter. Requires a $100 deposit per person, applies to your final bill. It's a 20 course omakase meal. They offer a 5 piece supplemental addition for extra cost @ the end (your choice which one to select, if any). We selected 4 out of the 5 pieces. The seared toro & wagyu was delicious - recommend getting both! Bonus points on offering Japanese Whiskey, which my husband loved. It was a wonderful experience, Chef Suzuki & his secondary chef were both amazing! Watching them prepare each dish was interesting & they are both funny/kind & interacted with all guests. It's a very authentic/intimate experience. There are a couple tables, but def recommend sitting @ counter for full experience. It's our top 3 Omakase in Seattle - along with Ltd Edition, and Taneda. We would absolutely visit again!

    To dine at Sushi Suzuki is an experience. The sushi chef Suzuki is the star performer; the dishes are the performance. It's a dinner with a mini show as we watch Chef Suzuki and his sous chefs perform with knives, flame, oh my. The restaurant is a converted garage with an intimate 20 seats seating - 10 at the counter and 10 across 3 tables. The best seats are at the counter (stating the obvious). I personally would not sit at the tables. I chose the 5pm seating which had availability at the counter. Arrive a few minutes early please, which oddly, two groups arrived late. Everyone is served at the same time, so we need to wait for them. Two host/servers handled the group with ease and warmth. Prix Fixe Omakase - $200 pp before tax and tip (service fee). Is it worth it? Only you can answer that. The seafood came from all over, from Japan, or local, or New Zealand. The look and colors of every piece are magnificent. They taste incredibly fresh and are appropriately dressed (seasoned). The pace and sequence are thoughtful. This is my kind of joy, and yes, it's worth it to me. Their menu is seasonal. Our dishes on Nov 10, 2024: Sunomono of Hokkaido scallop and snow crab Tuna Tataki O-toro Handroll Matsutaki mushroom soup - This soup is made for 4 to 6 weeks every year in November when matsutaki mushrooms are foraged in the wild; these mushrooms can't be farmed. Kanpachi (aka Greater Amberjack) Sea bream Squid with caviar Local Spot Prawn with Uni 3 Toros: Akami, O-toro, Chutoro. This tuna was caught two weeks ago. Unagi over cucumbers Chawanmushi covered in seaweed for extra umami - a very hot dish (Cool) Veggie roll with a thin layer of mackerel to follow the hot chawanmushi King salmon from New Zealand - One more but forgot the type of fish Seared Barracuda Mini ikura don Uni handroll Tamago Mini matcha popsicle Added - Uni from Hokkaido Nigiri, $20 Added - Aburi Toro Nigiri, $15 Added - Genmaimatcha, $12

    My first impression here was 'This is awkward.' It was like stepping into someone's kitchen sitting around a counter with strangers. No one spoke at first for lack of any kind of background music or other restaurant noise that would create a more private acoustic bubble. This is my second omakase experience and compared to the first one I felt high quality pieces were served. But, if I may say so, it was just astronomically overpriced. For two we dropped $720 which included the omakase, one add on dish, some sake and beer. Of note, there is mention of sake pairings which I imagined as sake being served with the omakse. However, sake is extra, flights starting at $100. I prefer more of a restaurant atmosphere myself and although I rated the sushi creations highly I wouldn't necessarily do this again.

    We had an excellent meal here. With real Japanese, authentic and expert chefs, they present to you layers of delicate and subtle tastes. Each course is well thought through and has undertones that will please the palate. We had. Mackerel, sardines, salmon, several grades of tuna, hand rolls, nigiri, and a really wide selection of tastes on all of them. There aren't many places like this in the country. You should take advantage of this one And the ambience is simple Japanese layout and decor, but it can get a bit noisy. The service is definitely top-notch and very focused on keeping the customer happy. You won't be disappointed. Just be prepared for a little louder than normal noise level

    Sushi Suzuki is such a LOVELY experience. I've been here a few times to take some friends visiting in town and it's always been such a hit. There is so much care into the sourcing of the fish, the preparation, and overall experience each time I'm here. They encourage interaction with the sushi chefs so I've learned quite a bit of how they prepare ingredients. Everyone here is so kind, the food is delicious, and each bite is always unique with special preparation for every single piece. They do require reservations but I have found I can still get some within the same week. Check a few days in advance and I've had pretty good luck getting in!

    This place is a hidden gem in both a literal sense, having to navigate through a cute alley way, and in that it is incredibly easy to get a reservation here unlike other sushi restaurants in this price range. The ingredients were procured from all over the globe, and thoughtfully put together in a very thorough omakase experience. The ambiance is intimate and almost gives the feeling of being in someone's home, if that someone was very wealthy. The service is very attentive but I would expect nothing less. If I could dock any points it would be that the sake pairing is priced fairly high compared to other restaurants in this price range. I'd opt for a glass and a beer over the pairing or a bottle. This is the place I go when I am craving high-end sushi last minute.

    First date. Kinda nervous. Just joking. This place is a small intimate environment. Paid a little extra to sit at the bar. Sitting at the bar was an experience of its own. Prob about $10-20 more? either way, the presentation and food was amazing. A bit more affordable than some other places that charges more for a lot less.

    We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and they did not disappoint. From the food to the service, everything was excellent! The sushi was fresh with amazing flavors. During the whole dinner the chef would interact with the customers and allow us to ask questions.

    It was a pleasant omakase experience watching the chefs making sushi at the counter. We loved most of the nigiris served that night especially the toro. The flavors were delicate and sushis were expertly crafted !!! The chefs were very friendly and service was top notch!!!!

    This was my second time and I have to say, this time was even better than the first. Sushi Suzuki offers an exquisite dining experience, blending traditional Japanese techniques with modern flair. I will do many things for smoked sushi bites and this time, I was in heaven while savoring the melt-in-your-mouth bites, and complex aged soy sauce. The minimalist decor and attentive service creates a refined atmosphere, perfect for the celebration we had. Accompanying our meal this time was a sake flight and we were not disappointed. Highlight of this birthday celebration was the time spent with Sensei Suzuki, where we proceeded to close down the place while discussing all the fabulous places and food in Japan. It was as if I was in a history and sushi making class with the best meal. Win!

    Stunning experience. Chef was loads of fun and joked with us. Great sake menu. Phenomenal fish, with little modern twists on many of the nigiri. Just enough to elevate them but still keep them grounded in what you're here for - the fish. Cold smoked salmon. Wow, so unexpected. Various cuts of tuna, I mean if it's high quality then nothing else needs to be said. Bonito with walla walla onions - a delight. Nothing missed but certainly some bites are better than others, how could they not be? I even liked the clam, usually it's too chewy for me but this was perfect. Wife and I were recently in Japan and this place matches the quality of a lot of places we tried. Small feedback is that you can tell when the apprentice makes his cuts, they're not always a precise as chef Suzuki but he's there to instruct and give feedback. Also, love their pickled ginger.

    Ask the Community - Sushi Suzuki

    How long is the omakase experience?

    Our reservation was at 5pm. My last photo was about 6:30. About 1.5 hours total, partly depending on how long you linger. I believe they have two meal shifts per night, so just under 2 hours is the absolute maximum.

    Will the seasonal menu ever be able to accommodate dairy free option? I would love to try but have a food allergy.

    Check the menu photo on this site. It shows they cannot accommodate: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free or rice-free.

Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!
