Absolutely incredible! Amazing dinner… only note is that it is slow paced and has few staff, not a bad thing just be ready for longer waits between courses - but they are well worth the waits. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I don't usually write this kind of lengthy review, but this spot is a genuine gem that absolutely deserves more recognition. I’ve been a loyal customer here ever since I found it. Hands down, this is the best food I’ve ever had. The chef’s focus on every single detail in the dishes is simply better than what you get at a lot of those so-called high-end restaurants. The place might not be as flashy as some other ones, but the real quality is in the careful preparation and the plating of everything they serve. The ingredients are obviously top-tier, but the real genius here is how they consistently nail the perfect balance of temperature, texture, and flavor. The more you know and enjoy food, the more you will appreciate the level of skill and care involved. Moreover, I always appreciate the warm welcoming from the chefs and the staff.

Pretty disappointing kaiseki experience compared to others in seattle given the near perfect reviews. The grilled and fried dishes were taken off the menu and the meal wasn’t very filling for $160. The nigiri, chawanmushi, and soup were fine but this is standard fare at other kaiseki / omakase places.

Every year treat ourselves to a kaiseki or omakase for our anniversary, and out of all of the places that we’ve tried so far in Seattle, this one is easily one of the best! The presentation for each course is stunning, every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the quality is top notch. I’d say it’s very worth the price. Hope they get the recognition they deserve and their business continues to thrive 😊💯
Enjoyed a lovely Saturday evening in Migaku while celebrating my anniversary with my wife.

I had what was probably the best sushi experience of my life at Migaku in Seattle. I did the $170 chef’s kaiseki tasting at the counter, and every single dish was exceptional. It’s hard to put into words how well-executed this was—not just the food, but the entire experience.
The atmosphere is small and intimate, with a kind of calm, minimalist warmth that immediately makes you feel like you’ve stepped out of Seattle and into Japan. Everything is quiet, precise, and intentional. There’s no flash or showmanship—just deep skill, restraint, and care.
The fish was pristine. Easily some of the best I’ve ever tasted, not just in terms of freshness but in the way it was handled and presented. Perfect cuts, perfect temperature, nothing drowned in sauces or overdone. Just exactly what it needed to be.
And the wagyu. I’m not exaggerating when I say it stopped me in my tracks. One of the richest, most memorable bites I’ve had in any restaurant, anywhere.
The service was outstanding. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, with a quiet confidence that made the whole evening feel special without being stuffy. They explained each course without over-talking it, gave space where it was needed, and made sure the pacing was just right.
For a meal at this level, the portions were surprisingly generous. It’s a high-end experience, yes, but by the end I felt like I got every bit of value out of the price.
This is one of the rare places I’d give six stars if I could. It deserves serious recognition—this is the kind of restaurant that should be on Michelin’s radar.
