A fantastic 8-course meal! Delicious, fresh, authentic Japanese food with the highest quality ingredients & unique presentation! Service & atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming ... The entire omekase experience was One of the best we experienced in the States (or in Japan). Chef Nori Morita is meticulous & very talented. Is was a joy for us to just watch him work. He & the entire team are very dedicated to providing the highest quality & a beautiful experience for all guests. I wouldn't be surprised if this restaurant earns their first Michelin star in the next couple years

Towa provides a wonderful experience with an authentic Japanese feel. The chef and staff truly care about the customer experience and the food is delicious. Each course is very well crafted and the flavors are amazing. Please if you get a chance please come and support this local business on the Eastside. The staff even came to thanks us on the way out. Such a good time and such good people.

Amazing dining experience. Nori is a master. Food was incredible.
They offer a fixed menu based on chefs choice for $150, $200, or $250 per person. It's reservation only. Be aware they add a house charge (not a tip) of 20% to the bill plus 10% for the City of Redmond. Pricey experience, but really enjoyable if you love food.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary today (on a Monday evening) and we were very pleasantly surprised that we were the only people dining here this evening. Everything was absolutely perfect: the food, the hospitality, and the service. The sukiyaki was arguably the best dish I've had in 2025. Also, having a private dinner where chef Nori was cooking for just us two made things extra special. We've dined at Michelin starred restaurants but the dining experience here will leave a more lasting impression for my wife and I.
I took my best friend here for her 60th birthday and it was amazing. Chef Nori and his team were wonderful. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant.

Japanese Cuisine Towa is hands down the best Japanese restaurant experience I have ever had in the greater Seattle area. We recently celebrated my wife's birthday here and the entire evening felt like a masterclass in dining.
The omakase journey crafted by Chef Nori Morita was phenomenal. He is extremely professional and dedicated, meticulously preparing each piece of ingredients right before our eyes. Every single dish was delicious and highlighted the unbelievable freshness of the ingredients. The service was topnotch; the staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring a flawless pace throughout the meal.
The restaurant itself is a haven of calm. The atmosphere was pleasant and the space was extremely clean, contributing to the luxurious feel of the experience. The highlight of the night was the very special dessert provided for my wife's birthday. It was a thoughtful and elegant gesture that truly elevated our celebration and made her feel incredibly special.
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you are looking for an authentic, dedicated, and unforgettable Japanese meal, look no further than Towa. We will absolutely be coming again.

Dining at Towa is a journey that feels both intimate and refined. This is not just dinner, but a thoughtfully composed kaiseki-style experience where each dish arrives like a chapter in a story.
From the very first bite, the chef’s passion and playfulness shine through. The Kyoto yuba with ikura was one of my favorites—silky, delicate tofu skin paired with the briny pop of salmon roe, a simple combination elevated into something memorable. The omakase sashimi was another highlight, presented beautifully over ice with pristine cuts of tuna, salmon, and king crab that melted in the mouth.
The tempura course showed off a perfect light batter—crisp without heaviness—encasing tiger shrimp, okra, lotus root, and eggplant. The charcoal-grilled A5 wagyu with Hokkaido uni and egg tofu was indulgence at its peak: smoky, buttery beef balanced by the rich sweetness of uni.
Comfort came in the form of the Nambu Tekki iron pot rice with snow crab and corn, fragrant and gently sweet, followed by a bubbling king crab miso hot pot that was both hearty and elegant. Dessert closed the evening with a playful trio, including a velvety sweet potato cream brûlée, the kind of ending that leaves you smiling.
What sets Towa apart is not just the ingredients or presentation, but the heart behind it all. The chef brings warmth, humor, and a clear sense of care to the table, making the whole experience feel personal.
A true gem for fine Japanese dining in Redmond—perfect for those who want more than just a meal, but an experience worth savoring.
