It was a great experience for my family. We highly recommend Sai Sushi & Sake!

One of our top favourite Sushi Omakase restaurants in Seattle! We love to book out their one dinner slot (when its six or more) with our friends and try all the incredible sake offerings the chef has! It's far better to just order a bottle and share than to do their sake flight in case you ever visit him

Took my brothers here to celebrate one of their birthdays, and it was hands down the best dining experience we've ever had. Everything was delicious, the chef was knowledgeable and fun, the ambiance was amazing with a dining room of just my brothers and I along with one other couple. We were served a hand roll with Japanese wagyu, toro, and uni, I'm not sure I'll ever eat anything that delicious ever again. Can't wait to come back here some day.

I loved how you can get an entirely private omakase experience at a similar price point to other popular high-end sushi places in Seattle. Sai’s hospitality is awesome, and I’d definitely recommend this place for special occasions.
On a side note, this is a “one-man” restaurant, so Sai would not be at the bar at all times, as he has to handle all sorts of stuff to present a wonderful sushi experience.

From start to finish, this omakase experience was very enjoyable . The chef’s attention to detail and mastery of flavors truly shone through in every course.
The purple uni was a standout – its luxurious, buttery texture and briny sweetness was impressive. It melted on the palate like a dream. The toro was equally sublime, rich and fatty with the perfect balance of freshness. I also enjoy the nodoguro. The delicate, smoky flavor of this premium fish, paired with its silky texture, was simply unforgettable.
The ambiance was intimate, and the chef’s passion for each ingredient was evident as they explained the origins and preparation behind every dish. If you’re a sushi lover, this is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return for another round of culinary artistry!

One of the best private fine dining experience I've ever had. Great service, amazing food! That uni was insanely good. It was fresh, and had a very unique sweet taste to it. The hand roll had Toro, uni and seared Wagyu beef in it. It was packed up with flavors. 10/10 recommended

We love a good omakase and knew we needed to check out the scene in Seattle while on vacation. This is a good-value restaurant and worth it for the quantity and quality of fresh fish for $205 pp for 18 items, especially if you want to experience PRIVATE DINING because thats the only thing they do, even if it’s only a party of two. We got to know the chef a little and turns out it’s only run by him, and an occasional dishwasher. Really down to earth and we enjoyed chatting with him! I recommend coming here if you want a no-frills kind of dinner and just want to appreciate really good sushi.
Food: The fresh fish is very good quality! The uni was so so fresh! However, I do think the cooked portions of the omakase lacked a bit…. The flavours and textures are there; however some of the items (eg. fried scallop) were just slightly overcooked. It’s not a big enough reason to deter me from this place because the value for the food is worth it, but something to note of the calibre of the restaurant.
Drinks: There was a good amount of options for drinks! We opted for the sake pairing and felt that it was good value for 4 pours at $60.
Service/Atmosphere: The chef is very thoughtful about making sure that everything needed by a customer is present. For example, there are phone chargers, a little mat to place your keys and phone, and a clothing rack. Up until the nigiri part, I did feel a bit rushed with the pace of the courses. But I think it’s because since it’s only the chef himself working, he is running around a bit. It’s good if you don’t particularly enjoy chatting with chefs because all the information is always posted on his menus.
WOULD I COME HERE AGAIN? Yes!!! It’s worth it for $205 pp and great if you just want to include some good sushi :)

Pretty much perfect omakase in a private setting. Highly recommend for any special occasion. In the same tier as taneda and ltd in my opinion.
Incredible private seating Omakase. Extremely high quality fish imported from Japan and many delicious sakes to pair with. Chef was nice and very knowledgeable.
This is the closest thing to eating in Japan outside of Japan. It is such a beautiful, intimate experience - my partner and I were there and there was just one other couple, and we were separated by a screen. Each of the 19 courses was beautifully done and presented. And the details, of everything! Incredible. Best omakase in Seattle, hands down. Just spectacular.
