Food is good. Ramen is the best in their menu but the service is very slow. Waited for over an hour for our food to come and kids only ordered ramen and it came after 75 mins of waiting. What’s worse is they force a 20% tip on customers with more than 4 guests in the table. It’s automatically added to the bill even with poor service. We used to like this place but the recent service experience soured us from coming back. Too bad.

You owe it to yourself to try this sushi restaurant. The quality is the best I have had in Seattle, and it is the farthest thing you can get from the conveyor belt sushi restaurant. If you want a traditional, homey, sushi atmosphere this is it. Miso soup is the best I have had in the area, and the garlic edamame is also great. The entire staff was so warm and welcoming. Great sushi, great value, great restaurant.

In the past, my family and I often went to Vere Review's conveyor belt sushi, but even the conveyor belt sushi can be quite expensive, so for that price, I thought it would be better to eat each piece of sushi that was delicious. For several years now, I have only been to Nakagawa, and I always order ``Omakase''. After all, sushi is a reward.Furthermore, considering the price and quality, it can be said to be rather cheap.Also, when a customer wants to eat sushi, I always bring them to Nakagawa.Parking: It's in front of a supermarket, so you won't have any problems finding parking.

If you're ever craving legit and superb quality sushi and sashimi, Nakagawa is a MUST! It's tucked away in a hidden corner of an unassuming strip mall shared with a PCC Market and facing a Taco Time drive thru. Although its surroundings don't do it justice, everything else about this restaurant is OUTRAGEOUSLY phenomenal!Serving sizes are just right to be able to share and finish, which allows for room to try so many things! And that's just what we did! Prices are going to be a little higher, but you will be able to taste why. I can't remember the last time I had quality, fresh fish like this in the north end. We tried the fresh oysters and ordered more. The sashimi was magical. My new favorite roll of all time is their Deja Vú roll with soft shell crab, I will definitely be dreaming of this one! The sake sampler was perfect to try three completely different flavor profiles, again tasting the quality.We came an hour before closing, but service was attentive even after closing as the last table to leave. The roll took the longest to come to the table, but it was worth the wait!Kid-friendliness: Highchairs available if needed

1/31/24: ordered two omakase and 2 rolls. Very good.4/1/23: Ordered 3 omakase sets. Very very good. Last time, hotaruika was included. This time, it was replaces with something different which is still very good.I like that they change 1 or 2 nigiri in the set depending on season. The server was very kind too. It was to-go-order but the server’s attitude was exceptionally nice compared to other places nowadays.3/17/23: Ordered 2 omakase set and 1 aji today. VERY VERY GOOD.
Loved all the dish here. Pretty reasonable pricing and good quality fish. Liked their Deluxe sushi set - also Deluxe Bento was good too. Must try dish : Calamari Leg Karaage!

I have a classified this as amazing food and amazing service with make-do spacing and ambience. My first impression is this is family owned then you can tell the food is made with TLC. What's more the food is delicious, high quality and the desserts? Something to write home about! They definitely step it up with their desserts! Homemade in house!! :-)Vegetarian options: Behalf a few vegetarian options which are fantastic such as the vegetable crochets, vegetable tempura, miso soup, etc.
