One of my favorite Japanese restaurants (not to mention the oldest in Seattle) and it has never disappointed me. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and warm. It’s a difficult time we are in with the pandemic of 2020, but Maneki has transitioned to take out, which it never did before, and is so organized that it blew my mind when I saw how clearly labeled each item was when I got home. I could easily tell which was part of the teishoku 定食 or “set meal.”...read full review
The food flavor and selection here is very authentic, it tastes like things I would find in a very good restaurant in Japan. The selection of sashimi matches that of most high end sushi restaurants, with an equally impressive flavor. The katsu curry was good, but the pork was a bit thin. I have no complaints about the service, and found the atmosphere to be pleasant. Would recommend making the effort for a reservation here!
Great food good experience and can't say enough if you like the real thing
