50 Best Sushi Bars in Seattle

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.“

“One of the best sushi restaurants I’ve been part of!“

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋“

“Sushi Kashiba will provide you a memorable meal with the freshest fish. The chef are amazing of selecting and preparing amazing nigri sushi with wonderful hot dishes for your enjoyment. The omakasa is a must while a nice glass of sake or wine will pair well with your meal. Highly recommend and will be going back“

“Wow I visited this place for my bday to do something unique for my 40th and it was just what a wanted and more. I felt special for my day ! Didnt have to think about the menu because everything was good even the bartenders choice drinks ! The staff was professional and friendly spoke spoken . I think they only seat 8 at a time so it’s pretty intimate and comfortable.“

“ほんまに美味しかったです。皆さん仮装していらっしゃって楽しいディナーでした。❤️🎃“

“Spicy tuna, crispy rice, you’re tired and is chasing the dragon.“

“A very nice experience today with nice service and nice ambience. I'm not a big sushi fan but there are many other nice options too here. 5 out of 5.“

“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.“

“Maneki is an absolute gem in the International District and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese cuisine and a truly special atmosphere. Stepping inside feels like a warm hug from the past – it's one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in the country, and you can feel that history.

We opted for a tatami room (highly recommend booking this in advance!), which made the experience even more memorable. Kicking off your shoes and enjoying a meal in that traditional setting is fantastic.

The FOOD! Oh my goodness, the food. We had an amazing spread! The sashimi platter was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented – a real highlight. The unagi don (eel rice bowl) was rich and flavorful, and the sukiyaki was so comforting and delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (perfectly crispy and savory) and the agedashi tofu, which was delicate and flavorful. Even the chicken wings and korokke were fantastic. Everything tasted like it was made with care and tradition.

Service was friendly and helpful, happy to offer recommendations. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and experience you get. This isn't some trendy, overpriced spot; it's the real deal.

Maneki isn't just a meal; it's an experience. It's a piece of Seattle history that's still serving up incredible food. Can't recommend it enough! Go, but definitely make a reservation. You won't regret it.“

“Foodies, this is a must try if you are ever in the area. Most sushi houses have a hard time getting Uni, but we had 4 dishes with fresh Uni in it. You won't regret it.“

“Amazing, will go back in the next trip to Seattle“

“Great food and friendly service. Love that all seafood options are sustainably-sourced!“

“Toyota Sushi is a gem in our community! As a family-owned business, they truly go above and beyond to make every visit special. Their food is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted dishes that never disappoint. The service is top-notch—always accommodating, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I've been a loyal customer for a while now, and I can confidently say I've never had a less-than-excellent experience here. If you're looking for a sushi spot that combines great food with warm, personalized service, Toyota Sushi is the place to go. Highly recommended! Five stars all the way. Ps. We love our Tia Helen ❤️“

“❤️‍🔥🍣🐟❤️‍🔥My husband and I are sushi lovers through and through, definitely team seafood over meat!
Our omakase experience at Suzuki was absolutely incredible. Of course, the food was amazing, but what made it truly special was the entire experience, from the service to the atmosphere.

Everyone who served us, including the chefs, was so kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be there. You could really feel the positive energy and strong bond among the staff, which made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.

Each dish was beautifully presented and came with thoughtful explanations, adding so much depth to the meal. It was a feast not just for the taste buds, but also for the eyes and ears. The ambiance was simply perfect.

Without a doubt, it was the best birthday dinner I’ve ever had.

Thank you😍❣️❣️“

“I've been to Migoto a few times with my husband and we have consistently enjoyed my experiences. The atmosphere is super cozy and the service is friendly and attentive. Every roll and dish I've had has been good, with the Samurai and Caterpillar rolls being standouts. The Japanese cocktails are also a highlight, especially the Lady Apple made with nigiri - definitely worth trying. We will definitely keep returning.“

“Chef is nice and friendly. Sushi-wise I was hoping for something more, it started really well and 4 nigiri are high lights and impressed me, the yozi scallop one brings you right into summer, and the one wrapped in clear Hokkaido seaweed feels like a fresh bite of ocean, apple wood smoked salmon has the perfect balance of smokiness. Oysters nigiri is really fresh and well done.
However, it didn’t go uphill as omakase usually do where next nigiri tastes even better, towards the second half of course some nigiri feels unbalanced, or even too salty because of overpowering source, hand roll is one of them.. desert didn’t wow me unfortunately.

Overall good experience but I was really hoping it could be beyond just good.“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

“I tried to get a reservation for my friend’s birthday in August, but it looked like there were some issues with Tock, the reservation system they use. That said, I truly think Taneda did their best to handle the situation as quickly and gracefully as possible. Sometimes life happens, tech issues are out of anyone’s control.

Although I wasn’t able to get a spot at the 11 AM and 11:45 AM open reservation time, I’m happy my friend was able to grab one after I stopped trying. I’ll definitely keep supporting this restaurant and will try again for my husband’s birthday in the future!

As for the food, this is hands down the best sushi I’ve had in Seattle. If I could eat here every month, I would. The staff is super friendly and the seafood is incredibly fresh. There were some seafood dishes I had never tried before, and every single one was a 10/10. I usually don’t even like uni, but the one they served didn’t have that oceany taste, it was so clean and buttery. Their sake selection was also really good!

Can’t wait to come back!“

“Great food, great employees ( especially Raechel). We love going to Shiku. They are very helpful with recommendations, and we've never been disappointed. We highly recommend trying them out.“

“The store's service is attentive and the workmanship is very detailed and painstaking.“

“Great place!! Food and service is excellent!“

“This is way overdue, we’ve been coming to Tsui since they opened. Before Covid when we were eating in-house, to making sure they made it through Covid. It’s always been our go to sushi place. They are amazing and always have been. I highly recommend eating in-house, but if you need good sushi to go order ahead and drop by grab your food and enjoy. We will miss them when we are gone.“

“Good presentation and solid rolls!!
I’d say this will be my new favorite neighborhood sushi spot 🫶

One tip: it is hidden in the big optum building. There’s a small door that is open also on the weekends and they are inside.“

“5 Star…. I will be returning to this place. Great service and amazing food.“

“Tried out Sakana on a warm Friday evening and had a nice dinner! I want to highlight the excellent service and large food menu - both were greatly appreciated. Everything we received ranged from good to great, although I didn't adore my sushi deluxe order of nigiri. The shrimp tempura were especially good and I always love to see hand rolls available. It was pretty busy by the time we left so I'd recommend making reservations.“

“I went to himitsu a couple weeks ago for the 1st time. As we walked in the lady behind the counter greeted us with a big warm smile and a welcome. I tried one of the bento trays they offered. Of course what I wanted was not on the menu. So I asked if she could change a couple of things. And of course they did with no questions asked. She offered us a bowl of the complementary soup 🍲. I said sure. It was hot and spicy soup. It was sooooo delicious. As we are waiting for the food the lady was greeting every one with a big smile and a welcome. She was laughing and joking with what seemed like her regular customers. We got our food and it was delicious. Since I have been back 2 more times. The food great and the lady's welcoming smile.

I will continue to go here. Keep up the good work and the great food.“

“Best sushi. Joe is an exceptional sushi chef. His support staff are incredible. Vintage stereo equipment and vinyl records on the walls. Don’t miss out.“

“This little hole in the wall is a true gem. The art is interesting, the sushi was terrific, and the cocktails are unique and there's something to excite every palette.

We were a tough group to please with a variety of interests and some picky eaters, and Liberty impressed us all.

The one note is that this isn't ideal for anyone with hearing challenges as the music was quite loud.

With that said, I'd recommend you check it out, particularly for the unusual mixed drinks. You won't be disappointed!“

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

“Great service and tasty menu“

“Delicious, curteous, fast, and they offer sake flights. Very creative specialities, and the rolls are generously sized. They also clearly label where they use real crab and where they use imitation crab, which is a level of forthrightness I appreciate in a good sushi place.

Vegetarian options: Great vegan sushi rolls too.“

“I got the breakfast spam egg rice plate. Hard to mess up the taste, this wasn’t good or bad. Also got two side orders of white rice for $3.25 each and that’s why I’m writing this review. Not sure if this was a fluke, but each side was around 3.5 big scoops of rice (roughly one quart)! I’m always hungry and kinda cheap. I don’t want to pay a lot and I want something that keeps me full but won’t upset my stomach. So I’m happy with the ton of white rice I got.

If Hachi-Ko staff read this, you gotta figure out your customer flow because it’s terrible. Waiting after ordering, then picking up and leaving was one of my worst food-line experiences ever. There’s no space and you’d have to push/squeeze past the diners. I didn’t subtract stars because it wasn’t crowded when I went, but come on gang, do better.“

“My go to place for my afternoon sushi fix!
Free miso and salad. Sushi chefs are very knowledgeable and first rate. The staff is friendly and responsive. Hidden gem by Greenlake! Go for a walk before or after one of the best kept secrets in the area! Love this place!“

“It is time for to review Mashiko after 15 years of enjoying great sushi and after one pandemic I am happy to say that my most recent experience dining at Mashiko was one for the history books. The Uni was amazingly fresh with that umami that it is hard to find anywhere else. The freshness and the flavors were to die for. I wish them the best and many more years of great sushi.“

“This was, without a doubt, the best sushi I have ever had in my life. I would go here every day of my life if I could.“

“My grandsons say this is the best food they have ever eaten in their whole life. The fried chicken was perfectly crisp yet perfectly moist; the short ribs were exquisite; the pot stickers and sushi were great. We loved our flavors, food, and experience and will always come back. One grandson says he would take a plane from anywhere in the world just to come back here.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Very fresh sushi. And it's all you can eat. So literally order as much as your stomach can hold. Came with a friend and we were able to enjoy 4-6 plates plus miso soup, edamame, and salad. Obviously we were hungry, and for a flat rate, it was totally worth it. Employees are friendly and service was quick; simply order from their tablet. Seattle sushi is to die for, and this place is no different. Keep in mind you'll probably have to pay for parking unless you're on foot.“

“Absolutely loved the sushi here! It was fresh, creative and with attention to quality and detail. The vibe is laid-back, and the staff are super friendly. That said, the space is pretty small, and it could use a bit more cleaning attention. It’s a little on the pricier side, but still worth it for a unique dine out.“

“Love the concept of pick your own sushi pieces. The amount of options are reasonable and delicious! Price is reasonable for the amount you can fit into a box.
Depending on when you go there may be a line but it moves fairly quickly. Parking can be very tricky in this area.“

“DELICIOUS sashimi. I really hope the owners find this comment. I'm leaving this review because my conscience won't allow me not to. Basically, I shared a very pleasant $90+ meal with a couple friends. However, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not well-practiced/educated in tipping because I've so rarely eaten out in all my life. I SEVERELY under-tipped them for this meal, and I just feel awful because it was AMAZING service on top of really decent sushi and better sashimi.“

“good service decent prices“

“My wife and I have eaten here nearly every week since they opened. The space can only accommodate a few folks as they are mainly a takeaway restaurant. We have never had a bad experience and this sushi restaurant is hopefully a staple of the Magnolia neighborhood for years to come.“

“Best sushi in town open late“

“I love Musashi! They do not have a website but unfortunately someone evil out there has made a fake one. Don’t be fooled! Call or go to Musashi’s to order food. Do not use the fake website to order or you will be charged for a fake order. Very sad.“

“Unassuming hidden gem. Incredible value for high-quality sushi.
Prices are very fair. The sushi box sets and the chirashi are particularly good deals.
Cuts are generously thick, fresh, and flavorful.
Been eating here for years and am still impressed every time.“

“Edit: I think my original review doesn’t do the justice to this place so I’m updating it. This is an absolute best sushi place in Seattle. Sometimes I want sushi on Sunday and they are closed on Sunday which is the only reason I try sushi in other places. And every time I end up disappointed and regretting ordering from anywhere else, because nobody matches the quality of Sam’s sushi. Sam’s sushi are the best in the city.

Original review: Good quality sushi, cozy atmosphere, fast and friendly service 🥰“

“Delicious fresh affordable sushi.“

“I have been wanting to try this takeout place and it exceeded my expectations! 🍣 sushi here are so well prepared; fresh but they have umami flavors! It’s best to order ahead, and it was worth the extra step. This will be favorite place for pickups.“
