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

“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. 💕💕😋“

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

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

“Exceptional omakase experience! Sitting at the counter was truly like dinner and a show, the chefs being so warm and interactive as they prepared thoughtful and delicious combinations. All of the staff were so professional and coordinated. Had a great time here for my anniversary dinner and can’t wait to come back.“

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

“Very good sushi and Japanese food. I don't remember many eclectic or unique items, but the menu is extensive and everything is well prepared. They have just about every kind of Japanese food and a nice variety of sake, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. The service is friendly and efficient.“

“After trying various sushi omakase places in Seattle, Wataru stands as the top choice so far. The cuts were generous, expertly seasoned, and creative flavor pairings delivered a dining experience that was hard to forget. Each bite showcased the chef’s remarkable talent and careful craftsmanship. Chef was very kind and service was great.“

“High quality fish from this low-key sushi restaurant located in a plaza.

The fish is very fresh. We also ordered two rolls - one was the snow crab roll and another was a more roll with typical tempura shrimp or crab. Rolls had minimal rice and lots of seafood and fillings, which I appreciate.

Also, the salmon kama here was delicious. It was seasoned with only salt I believe and was served with a ponzu sauce for dipping. The fatty flavor of the salmon really shine through - the fish was so tender. Loved this!

Best sushi restaurant (non-omakase) that I’ve tried in the Seattle area.“

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

“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.“

“Had a tasty lunch! Thank you!“

“I'm not a great photographer and I won't be doing their delicious sushi justice.
However, pictured is the Lion King roll, Cali roll and takoyaki. I also enjoy the hot dream and tiger eye roll. Their ingredients are always fresh and the sushi is consistently good. For years I frequented Newcastle. Good to have the same rolls closer to Seattle.
The employees are also attentive and kind. The ambiance is nice and the environment is clean.“

“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。❤️🎃“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Love love loved my food !!!! My bf Even scored free miso too lol (he speaks Korean and Japanese and the cashier got excited). I had a scallop roll! Tasted some of his bimibap and my friends Tuna and salmon sashimi and they were absolutely amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you!“

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

“We stopped by after our daughter mentioned this place, and I’m so glad we did. The restaurant has a great Asian vibe, which I loved, and we were lucky enough to get seated right away in the last open booth. Service started off strong with water brought out immediately, and the waiter clearly explained the menu options.

We ordered à la carte. The food does take some time and comes out as it’s ready, so it’s best to order everything at once. But the wait was worth it. The fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. I’m gluten-free and didn’t use any sauce, and everything still tasted amazing.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and very on top of things. They’ve been open about a year, and it really shows that they’ve maintained both quality and service — something not all places do.

For two people, we had three rolls, some nigiri and sashimi, soup, edamame, and two teas. With tip, it came out to around $100, which felt very reasonable. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We were in the neighborhood and chose it randomly. It exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing and the service was really good. Everyone was friendly, smiling and ready to service us. I would 100% recommend, you will def not be disappointed!!!!!!“

“Fantastic and yummy rolls! 5 ⭐️“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

“Great sushi and flavors here. I love the variety and the fact that they don't have the exact same rolls that every other sushi place seems to have on their menu. Fun and creative names and truly different combos for their sushi rolls and I'm here for it!“

“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.“

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

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

“Best sushi in town open late“

“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.“

“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.“

“My partner and I absolutely loved this place! The rolls are all beautifully made, and tastes just as good as they look. Each of us got some sake, and it was really good.

We had the Dragon roll, the Caterpillar roll, the Salmon Lovers, and Taiyo Fish Lover roll. We started with miso soup. The Taiyo was our favorite!

The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly.

We are extremely happy to have this in out date night rotation!“

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

“This was an amazing restaurant! Lots of dishes! Very good sushi and kaiseki dishes. Very good restaurant for those special occasions (anniversary or birthdays). Chef Taneda was very friendly as he makes the sushi dishes in front of you. All while the keiseki dishes come out in front of you.“

“Went here on a whim while visiting some friends and I can't recommend this place enough. Service was quick and snappy, the woman waiting us was kind and responsive when we needed something, and the unagi bowl was *elite*. Me and my friends will be returning!“

“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.“

“Everything we had was phenomenal, a true blend of quality ingredients and artistry. Some of the best sushi I have had.

Service was prompt and courteous.

Atmosphere is quaint, the feeling of a hole in the wall place that you just stumble upon.

Seriously great job!

We had Tuna Roll, Mango Surprise Roll, Dragon Roll, Washington Roll, and Rainbow Roll.“

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

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“The quality of fish here is exceptional. We go to a variety of sushi restaurants around town, and we keep coming back here because every morsel of fish is so tender and delicious. It’s really unique. I don’t know how they do it here. They’ve got some old connections with fish suppliers or something like that I think. Delicious !“

“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.“

“Large party of 17, two people from restaurant called and said need to split up but 2 tables next to each other. Got to restaurant but the table are far away, hostess not helpful at first but ultimate put two tables next to each other.
Food is okay for the price“

“I ordered the middle of the road omakase and got a good spread. the wild next to the farmed salmon was a fun comparison. I've never had squid cut in tiny curly bits like it was. I asked about Uni but was told they were out, which was disappointing. I'm also not a huge fan of scanning a QR code for a menu.“
