The food was delicious. I liked the persimmon/prosciutto tempura. We had the sukiyaki soba and duck sona, both were good. The uni/shiso tempura dish was pretty good but not the best one I’ve had :-) Service was friendly. Ambient was good. A bit pricey. They accept online reservation.

All the portions were ridiculously small and overpriced. The duck soba broth barely had any depth of flavor. The restaurant is small and cramped. This was not a satisfying experience at all.

What a beautiful experience. We felt at home here, service was kind and attentive, she explained dishes and the culture of dining there with ease. We ordered the pickles, the king oyster mushroom dish with Smokey egg yolk, the squash “wings” and the lamb katsu. Then we both had the dipping style soba, the duck and the beef broths. Every bite was increasingly satisfying guy ing, as you got tastes of meat and veg with your noodles in a hot, flavorful broth. We loved the whole experience and would definitely return. Thank you to the whole team!

I'd like to start this review by sharing the fact that we had a later reservation that night, but since Kamonegi was highly recommended to us, we still decided to give it a try. Food was delicious but the service wasn't up to par. Although we told to our server our intention to share food, every single time a dish came to our table, we were told that "portion is for one person", "we recommend ordering one per person and not sharing" or "are you ordering anything else?", making us feel pressured to order more even if we were not hungry. We found the service rushed and rude, even when the place was quite empty.

Great good, the noodles are very well made and served, the beef broth is out of this world good, the mushrooms are excellent. The staff are very nice and attentive, and the prices are fine. Walked in but reservations are highly encouraged.

I am very happy to find this place. The soba noodle is at another level. Tempura and paired sauce were perfect. Curry broth calls for a rice bowl but they don't serve one quite understandably. My party was not hungry but ended up enjoying the full meal. This is 10x better than hyped tendon kohaku. Too sad that this place is not on the east side but worth revisiting.

Amazing food that is perfectly seasoned and balanced. I even wanted to drink up all that delicious duck soba noodle broth. The uni shiso bomb is an explosion of flavors in one bite. We also love the eggplant tempura which was so light and full of umami. You must order some refreshing and crisp house made pickles to complement the soba noodle. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes on the menu!

Food and service was amazing!!! I think the veggie soba options are okay- but the veggie small plates are soooooo good!
Vegetarian options: There are a few veggie options in the small plates that are SOO good! I think for soba noodles- I wish there were at least 1-2 more options especially for the dipping style for a hot broth.
Average soba. Expensive tempura. Service charge of 20% is added automatically to the bill.

Just finished dinner at Kamonegi. Wow! Really the highlight of our weekend in Seattle. The food and service were excellent. We had green bean gomae, 2 types of tempura, and then a soba noodle dish each. Mine was duck (the dipping option), and my husband’s was veg tempura (standard hot broth). Both were amazing. We highly recommend and will definitely be back on our next visit.
The dipping soba noodles with duck is quite special. All the flavor is in the broth, though, so you need to figure out how to grab a spoonful of soup with every bite of noodles to maximize the experience. Fried oreo for dessert is quite a creative finish, too!

Amaaaazing food, great service and nice atmosphere, all around excellent! We had a bigger group for a special occasion and shared many small plates and several desserts in addition to our own soba dishes. Special props to the salmon crudo appetizer and beef curry soba, but really everything was very very good or better. Just note the restaurant is quite small, so reservations are a good idea even during the week. Absolutely will be back!
Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome, but note that due to the tiny size of the restaurant and odd layout, there is not enough room to have a stroller next to your table. They can store it if it folds up but if your baby is too little to sit on her own, you'll have to hold her.

2022 summer: Cozy atmosphere with good soba noodles. I really liked the soup shot they gave prior to serving soba noodles!
Update: Visited again in 2024 summer! This time, we ordered foie gras ‘tofu’, katsu, and eggplant tempura for small plates, and multiple soba dishes including natto soba. The natto soba had a beautiful presentation but was bit lukewarm in terms of temperature. I wish it was colder. The taste was okay but maybe that was due to warmer soup. The small plates were unique. The favorite dish of the night was the eggplant tempura. Total of 3 small plates + 3 soba dishes came down to $160 total.
Parking: There isn't a separate parking lot, so need to do street parking.
