Delicious tasting menu delivered with great service and sake pairing. We live in California but we make sure to visit Kamonegi when we are in Seattle. Don’t miss this experience!

Really good soba place with a wide variety. The tempura is fantastic and very light. They have a mix of hot, cold, meat, and vegetarian soba dishes to try. Portions are nice and large, but are lacking in the amount of meat in each dish. The small plates were quite good; try the squash and the eggplant dishes. The uni on tempura shiso was one flavor too many and felt a bit disjointed. Desserts didnt seem to live up to the excitement of the rest of the menu.
Drinks were quite good and not too expensive at $15. Service was really good throughout. The restaurant is quite small and reservations are highly recommended. A meal likely runs about $40-55/person without drinks. This restaurant is well worth a visit if in Seattle!

We ordered the eggplant tempura, kabocha “wings,” cream of morel soba, and pork birria curry. The server explained everything beautifully and was very attentive! Tempura was delicious (eggplant might have been slightly undercooked), and the soba 🤌🏻 Cream of morel had pork belly, but the broth was the best part. Noodles cooked perfectly and served on the side. Server said we might need to order more small plates, but we were full after the two tempuras and two soba dishes.

Been here a few times but it’s been awhile and it was sadly disappointing. Honestly the food is not bad but it’s not worth $100 for two bowls of soba and one tiny app!
The 20% built in tip (regardless of party size) doesn’t help the business imo! I get people need to make a living but this could cripple the business.
There is better handmade soba out there and it doesn’t cost no where near what this place is charging !! Even in times of inflation, this is not reasonable for the common person.

They specialize in Soba, and apparently they make the noodles fresh everyday. The food was good, and we enjoyed the atmosphere.

The restaurant is small and noisy, but the food is good. Shrimp tempera is very good! It is the best shrimp tempura I have ever had! The shrimp is fresh. The fried skin is thin and crispy. The dipping sauce is also wonderful with a little plum flavor. The uni shiso tempera is also very good! But we didn’t enjoy the soba too much. The dunk meat has good flavor and texture, but the dipping soup is very salty. Chawamushi is good with lots of flavor and soft steam egg.
They add 20% tips BEFORE tax on the check.

Two of our friends recommended this place to us so we looked at it and decided they were right so we went.
It's a small space (maybe 10-12 tables total). Seating was fine, but more generous chairs would have been appreciated.
Service was very good throughout, as was the pacing of the dishes we ordered. We opted for the a la carte menu.
Here's what we tried:
1) Tiny croquettes of potato and nori to start - nice.
2) Foie gras 'tofu' with sake poached shrimp and dashi - WOW. This was so great. One of the best (and most inventive!) foie gras dishes I have ever had.
3) Chawanmushi with shrimp, black cod, and matsutake - so good!
4) Maitake tempura with smoked oyster sauce (excellent tempura fry!) - very, very good
5) Kabocha squash 'wings' - fun, inventive and delicious - spicy but it still let all of the ingredients shine.
The foie gras was SO good. Easily the best foie gras I've ever had. The uni tempura was also great.
I was much less impressed by the duck soba, and the fig prosciutto tempura. The soba broth alone was tasty, but everything else about those dishes was lacking in flavor and texture.

I’ve wanted to come to kamonegi since i found out about it a month ago. But I may have proped it up on a pedestal because it fell flat. The koboacha wings were far too peppery and overpowered all the other seasonings. My soba was over cooked and had no chew which was sad. We got other things like the tofu and they were just ok. I came here hoping of a taste if japan and I don’t feel like I got it . The tempura dango was good tho.

This Japanese restaurant specializes in soba (Japanese noodles) with a duck broth and duck meat.
They also have other traditional Japanese foods, as well as a fairly large drink selection.
The food is pretty tasty, and the service very good. The environment itself is run down, but passable.
Be prepared that they automatically add a 20% gratuity to your bill.
It's an okay place to try.

This is a precious place. The bar is a perfect place for a quiet afternoon meal alone - the kitchen is open and a delight to watch. The cooks are efficient, calm, and take great care with every aspect of the meals they create. The front of house is attentive, available, and facilitate the experiences their guests are hoping to have. The food keeps me coming back, time and again, and I leave pleased and grateful each time. Timeless, creative intention rules here, and I'm fortunate to enjoy it.

Absolutely incredible! We opted for the tasting menu with sake pairing, and even the simpler dishes were bursting with flavor. Everything was beautifully presented, and each sake pairing was spot on with the corresponding dish. Highly recommend the Tomato Kimchi soba if it’s available! We will be back for sure.

7) Dipping soba - matsutake beef sukiyaki - such deep, delicious unctuous flavor (and all the fat bubbles!) - Holy cow!
8) Peach lemon verbena sorbet (this was the weakest dish)
Excellent meal - great food, really good service and nice vibe to the room.
Recommended. You should try it!
