“One of the best sushi restaurants I’ve been part of!“

“Amazing, will go back in the next trip to Seattle“

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋“

“The store's service is attentive and the workmanship is very detailed and painstaking.“

“This was, without a doubt, the best sushi I have ever had in my life. I would go here every day of my life if I could.“

“Could only show 10 of the 25 dishes served! Becoming my favorite omakase in the Seattle area!“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!

This, in my opinion, is the best sushi restaurant in Seattle. Everything single dish, every single sushi, was perfect. It was clear how much details they put in, to making this an excellent culinary experience.

From the texture of the sushi, the flavor of the fish, the sushi rice, the amount of seasoning and wasabi; the chefs played various combinations that really harmonized and highlighted each ingredients.

We got the Omakasei with pairings. It was so good that even though we were full, we added 2 additionals sushi at the end of the night.

I regret not trying this place sooner.“

“We were in the city for an event and wanted some sushi before heading home. This place had great reviews and I can see why. It's pretty unassuming from the outside but the staff were prompt and friendly. The sushi tasted very fresh and the menu/flavors branched far enough from basic. We had a few items and loved them all. The ocean queen roll was my wife's favorite roll she's ever had. No alcohol available, but we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!“

“Great food and friendly service. Love that all seafood options are sustainably-sourced!“

“Delicious food and tea, and the best service I’ve seen in a while. Our server Khoi made the experience very enjoyable, in addition to the already exceptional meal. This is some of the best Japanese food I’ve had, I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Wow, this is GOOD sushi! So fresh and flavorful. We took advantage of the 3 roll bundle special and I was so impressed by the options, value, and taste. We did takeout and the lady who helped over the phone was super nice. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“Wow I visited this place for my bday to do something unique for my 40th and it was just what a wanted and more. I felt special for my day ! Didnt have to think about the menu because everything was good even the bartenders choice drinks ! The staff was professional and friendly spoke spoken . I think they only seat 8 at a time so it’s pretty intimate and comfortable.“

“My grandsons say this is the best food they have ever eaten in their whole life. The fried chicken was perfectly crisp yet perfectly moist; the short ribs were exquisite; the pot stickers and sushi were great. We loved our flavors, food, and experience and will always come back. One grandson says he would take a plane from anywhere in the world just to come back here.“

“ほんまに美味しかったです。皆さん仮装していらっしゃって楽しいディナーでした。❤️🎃“

“Had a tasty lunch! Thank you!“

“My wife and I have tried Suzuki, Kashiba, Takai, Shiros, Ltd, and Taneda. When it comes to edomae omakase, we will choose Wataru every single time.

Despite only being run by a husband and wife duo, the service is on point, and Chef Wataru shows immense attention and care to both the customer's experience and to the detail of each individual course.

The ambience is very comfortable, and the portion sizes are extremely satisfying. Come here with an empty stomach!!

While the omakase price may seem higher than others, we fully believe the number of courses, portion size, and beautifully crafted + delicious courses are fully worth it.

Will come back for the next special occasion!“

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.“

“We will be back! Some of the freshest sushi we have had in a while in the south end. Reasonably priced and good portions. Service was super friendly and so fast. Food came out very quickly. We were checked in on multiple times.
Right when we sat we were offered a warm cloth and complimentary miso soup.
Rainbow roll had very fresh fish on top, Jumping Ebi had great texture , Monkey Brain had a lot of avocado, and the Spicy Tuna wasn’t overly seasoned and had good flavor.“

“I'll write about how I got my reservation but I am so glad I did because our dinner was so delicious!
Because it's the turn of the season we got lucky to have some new dishes.
Everything is totally fresh and light and the fish dishes were up to Chef Taneda in how to incorporate new flavors with fish that is in season. I absolutely love uni and I'm glad there were a few dishes with it. I also am not a huge fan of squid because usually it's so rubbery but this has been the best I've ever had! It was creamy and light!!!

Everyone was so so friendly and I loved talking to the chef! Also other reviews said you had to go upstairs for the bathroom but they have their own bathroom in the restaurant with a Japanese toilet that is heated and I loved it haha, it reminded me of Japan.

I loved all of the things I tried along with the sake pairing. I highly recommend going, I left happy and full!

I was lucky enough to snag a reservation after I REALLY tried. Here is a tip to book as they fill up in less than a minute:
Log into your tock account and go to the calendar day you want to go to and around the time so everything is pre set. Literally as SOON as it turns 11, I refreshed my phone and got my day and time! Everything was already there so I didn't have to go clicking through. That was my trick and it worked for me the first time I ever tried it! Good luck!“

“My husband and I have been coming here for six years pretty regularly. The food is always delicious and in good portions, and we always love chatting with the friendly staff and owner! The sushi is always fresh and amazing. My husband loves the curries, and we both love the bento boxes!“

“Absolutely loved this AYCE sushi spot! The crispy salmon roll was delicious, and the Katsu paired with the BBQ curry sauce was a standout. The garlic edamame was amazing—super flavorful and addictive. Prices are very reasonable per person, and the endless ice cream included in the all-you-can-eat deal is such a nice bonus. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!“

“Spicy tuna, crispy rice, you’re tired and is chasing the dragon.“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

“Fantastic and yummy rolls! 5 ⭐️“

“Fresh, fast and delicious! The portions are on point & the rice-ratio = perfection.

You can use the main door but if you’re 6ft watch your head (hanging signage). Recommend using the building door (to the right of restaurant) for access.“

“I enjoyed the high quality cuts of fish and unique dishes like the beni-tenshi parfait! Totally worth going just for dessert.“

“a must visit not just sushi we came here every morning for a amazing English breakfast at a great price 7.50 euros for a big full breakfast or smaller one 4.50 euros,also do sandwiches 🥪 with fries ect best food around at sea front opposite the hand ✋️ 😋 highly recommended and I do alot of reviews big thanks terry and vanessa from the uk“

“Best sushi in town open late“

“We’ve had a lot of sushi at all different price points around the city and this place is still the best for the price and the quality. We go at least once a month and every time they hit it out of the park. They frequently have amberjack as their special - highly recommend if they have it when you go.“

“A very nice experience today with nice service and nice ambience. I'm not a big sushi fan but there are many other nice options too here. 5 out of 5.“

“Shiva provided the best service I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Michael came in to relieve him and made sure we were fully satiated with our meals. Both Shiva and Michael gave us a great conversation and delicious food. Some of the best presented sushi as well. I’ll definitely be back. I would give this a 10⭐️if I could.“

“Such a great atmosphere! Owner is fantastic. Highly recommend all the food, sushi was so good. Thank you!“

“BEST sushi in Seattle. Good prices, GREAT staff! I go often. Ask Hehe to fix up his famous chef's special!“

“Such nice people working here and the $160 we spent on take out was worth it and SOOOOO GOOD! sushi was fresh and they actually gave us extra wasabi like we asked and didn’t act like extra sauce was the difference between them having or losing their job lol i’ve been coming here for years and it really is the best sushi spot in renton 🙂“

“Amazing udon and otoro! Such sweet people, too! Thanks!“

“I love everything about this place! the owners, the food, the hospitality, the atmosphere! my partner and I stumbled upon this place a few years ago and now we go every chance we get! delicious sushi, amazing sauces, huge menu. love love love!“

“Simply the best sushi place I've ever been to. I've been here 4 times in the last month, and it's been an incredible experience ever single time. Staff is friendly, the chef is quick, and the menu is unique filled with creative rolls that you just won't find in other places. With a rotating beer tap that has something new every time, this place will continue to be #1 and keep us coming back.“

“My wife and I absolutely LOVE this place! It is smaller and quieter than most sushi spots in Bellevue/Seattle but it is by far our favorite. We have ordered a variety of their rolls and dishes but we now have out usual order of:
Tuna Roll
Caterpillar Roll
Yellowtail Tataki

It is such a hidden gem and don’t be fooled by the “fancier” places around. This is our go to sushi spot. We are unfortunately moving out of the Bellevue area but will still try to come back at least every other week. That’s how much we love this place. The service is also kind and welcoming. Just a great spot!!“

“Great place!! Food and service is excellent!“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“Amazing variety and absolutely delicious selections! I only eat cooked, and they had SO much to choose from. The woman working the register was super friendly and pointed out every single cooked option. Priced at $15/pound, I spent just under $18 and ended up not being able to finish my tray.“

“Absolutely a hidden gem for fresh, AFFORDABLE sushi in Seattle. Their specialty rolls are so tasty, with unique combos that they change up seasonally. Love the Energy roll (mango is fire in sushi!) Validated parking garage with lots of spots, making this an easy spot for a quick bite or takeout.“

“Best sushi I’ve had! Everything was high quality. Even the pickled ginger was amazing.

It’s all so good, but I highly recommend the various types salmon nigiri — sockeye was my favorite.

Seabream nigiri was incredible, too — apparently it is traditionally served on special occasions!“

“My husband and I ate here the other day and were very impressed with the service! We have loved the food and drink before and would definitely recommend this place. We were very impressed by the front of house server who was doing a fantastic job especially for being the only front of house employee working that night. She was very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about her work.“

“せつこさんケーキは、シアトルで一番美味しくて、夫婦揃って大好きです。My husband I love her cakes, and this is the best place for sweets in Seattle.“

“As always, server was friendly , knowledgeable and helpful. Every part of the meal was delicious...from the cocktails and garlic edamame to the bluefin sushi, the seaweed salad and of course the sushi rolls. We'll return soon. It's a can't miss when visiting Seattle.“
