The omakasa is a must while a nice glass of sake or wine will pair well with your meal. Highly recommend and will be going back“

“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. 💕💕😋“

“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!“

“❤️‍🔥🍣🐟❤️‍🔥My husband and I are sushi lovers through and through, definitely team seafood over meat!
Our omakase experience at Suzuki was absolutely incredible. Of course, the food was amazing, but what made it truly special was the entire experience, from the service to the atmosphere.

Everyone who served us, including the chefs, was so kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. You could really feel the positive energy and strong bond among the staff, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.

Each dish was beautifully presented and came with thoughtful explanations, adding so much depth to the meal. It was a feast not just for the taste buds, but also for the eyes and ears. The ambiance was simply perfect.

Without a doubt, it was the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.

Thank you😍❣️❣️“

“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!“

“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!“

“Sushi Today is amazing. I used Grubhub to order from them, which was a mistake. Long story short, I never got my food. One of the team members called me to see if I got my food which I said no and they were so kind and gracious, they told me exactly what to do with GrubHub so that I could get my order.

I had my order within 10/15 minutes of that phone call. There was a sweet apology note which was completely unneeded. And most importantly their food was so good so delicious I will be back and I will be ordering directly from their restaurant.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Didn’t even have the chance to photograph the bowls, they were so good! Highly recommend the Chojang Poke, it’s with the very special Chojang sauce which takes the bowl to another level! Black Sesame Tofu is another good choice especially for vegetarian. You can use all the stools and couches in the lobby so enjoy the meal!“

“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!“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

“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!“

“We absolutely love this place! An unassuming entrance, advertising and room. And then you get the sushi…it’s amazing! We’ve had excellent service and creative and delicious rolls (we love the Norwegian roll!). This is our local sushi spot!“

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

“I drove around during my lunch break yesterday and decided to give this place a try. Overall, the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the sashimi set, which came with complimentary miso soup, I believe. The portion was more than enough for me. Everything was fresh and delicious—I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

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

“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!!“

“This used to be a excellent beer bar serving amazing beer with mediocre food. Then it changed owners and they started serving solid sushi and still serving amazing beer. They changed chefs earlier this year and they are one of the best sushi restaurants who happens to serve amazing beer. They do sell out of specialty dishes (e g., Ankimo: monkfish liver pate) which is how it should be for delicasies.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We just stopped in for drinks, but the food looked amazing. Drinks were great and reasonably priced. Friendly staff and cool decor.“

“Perfect portions for great prices! Really loves the Olympia roll, tuna Nigiri, and mango Mochi!“
