Great food and great atmosphere. Very fun and great service. We got the omakase meal. The chips and salsa plate was ok but everything else was amazing.

Food was delicious. They have a 5 course deal for their 3rd-year anniversary and it was a perfect way to get a taste of what they offer. The Suji Nikomi, a beef stew, was the highlight of the course with tender meat and tasty broth.

Great vibes! A good ol Japanese izakaya with the classics and their own spin on a few dishes. Drinks are very reasonably priced, and the comic/nerdy wallpaper MAKES the atmosphere. Love it

If you’re looking for an authentic and reasonably priced izakaya experience, just go to Issian down the street instead.

This place does not stop blowing my taste buds away. The food is incredible. The service? Even better. Gina is amazing and so great. She remembered our names and is very kind and attentive. The whole experience is fantastic.

I have been to Los Angeles, Boston, & Japan. Secret Fort’s yakitori is the best I had in America & is on par with some of the restaurants I had In Japan. The style of the restaurant, the friendly staff, & of course the food made this a “must visit” when coming to Seattle. If you are reading this. JUST GO! ITS SO GOOD!!!

The service and atmosphere is great ok. I ordered a chirashi bowl to go. It was like 80% rice and the rest was 1 piece scallop 1 piece crab and like 8 pieces of chewy smelly salmon that I couldn’t finish. Sorry but this just isn’t worth the $30 it cost

I left my hat at the restaurant and the waitress ran down two blocks to give it back to me. The food is also good.

Skewers are being overcooked. Food quality has deteriorated since half year ago. Won’t go there anymore.
Best Yakatori I've found here in Seattle. It never disappoints. One of my favorite Yakatori is pork belly with plum... It is simply, chef's kiss <3

Had such a great time here Wednesday the 6th of August. Came with my soon to be brother in law, and everything was spectacular. We didn't have a res, so we had to wait for a short while, had a drink across the street and in perfect timing we got a text. The GM, E, was amazing and was controlling both halves of the restaurant and running food and explaining menu items and everyone was attentive and 5 stars despite being busy. I'll definitely be back, the Chirashi bowl and sushi was perfect, not an afterthought, but the yakitori was killer and surprised me every bite. Cocktails were spot on and quick, loved the paper plane twist. 10/10. Eat here.
Usually one of me and my partner's favorite restaurants! The host recognized us after we haven't visited after a year, which was a warm welcome, but the service was horrible. We waited ~30min to get served and it took far too long to receive our food despite seeing it waiting on the counter. Every time we tried to catch our waitress's attention, she would look away and not check in. The host had to remind the servers constantly to check in with tables. Food was delicious and hot as always, just disappointed with service.

One of my favs for occassions or when friends are visiting from out of town <3 wagyu zabuton and mochi bacon yakitori are bomb and the yuzu margarita is fab - perfect amount of salt on the rim !! All of the sashimi i’ve tried is also good :) there will definitely be a wait if u don’t make a reservation so keep that in mind!

We will definitely be back! It’s hard to find good yakitori in Seattle. This place serves up moist skewers with great flavors. And there are other small dishes to choose from.
The vibe took us right back to Japan. We loved the decor!
Our favorites were the negima, waygu, Shisito, salmon carpaccio, and the rice side was sooo perfect as an add on! Don’t skip on the yuzu highball either - just perfect.
Our only recommendation is on the service. It was slow and the poor bartender was all alone. Regardless, we left happy, full, and excited for our next visit.
