WARNING: TechBro Palace.
Not worth the effort, not worth the money, and certainly does not live up to all the hype. The Omakase fad is such a rip off and I hope it is discontinued soon.
Could only show 10 of the 25 dishes served! Becoming my favorite omakase in the Seattle area!

The spacious interior, high ceilings, and elegant atmosphere create a relaxing and refined setting. Guests highly recommend the wine and sake pairing for unique high-end tastings. The restaurant provides great quality food and good value, although liquor prices can be a bit high.

Presentation is meticulous, with pristine fish like glossy tuna, delicate white fish slices, and subtle crab toppings that add richness. Guests have praised the omakase for including a range of flavors and textures, with some pieces melting in the mouth while others burst with flavor from being seared. The attention to detail and freshness make each course special. Chef Jun Takai combines tradition with new flavors, creating a delicious blend of nigiri and complementary dishes served by him and his engaging team. Many guests appreciate sitting at the counter to fully appreciate the experience, noting that it is an incomparable dining experience to be served the highest grade sushi by a master chef.
