50 Best Sushi Bars in Seattle

“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“

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

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

“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. 💕💕😋“

“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 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😍❣️❣️“

“We were in the city for an event and wanted some sushi before heading home. This place had great reviews and I can see why. It's pretty unassuming from the outside but the staff were prompt and friendly. The sushi tasted very fresh and the menu/flavors branched far enough from basic. We had a few items and loved them all. The ocean queen roll was my wife's favorite roll she's ever had. No alcohol available, but we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!“

“Delicious food and tea, and the best service I’ve seen in a while. Our server Khoi made the experience very enjoyable, in addition to the already exceptional meal. This is some of the best Japanese food I’ve had, I highly recommend this restaurant!“

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

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

“service is polite, albeit a bit scattered/slow at times. the food is very good, clean & small portioned at very fair prices. the decor and ambiance in the restaurant is very artistic and cool. we were looking for a ramen spot that also serves sushi, so this gem was a standout. give it a try.“

“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。❤️🎃“

“My wife and I have tried Suzuki, Kashiba, Takai, Shiros, Ltd, and Taneda. When it comes to edomae omakase, we will choose Wataru every single time.

Despite only being run by a husband and wife duo, the service is on point, and Chef Wataru shows immense attention and care to both the customer's experience and to the detail of each individual course.

The ambience is very comfortable, and the portion sizes are extremely satisfying. Come here with an empty stomach!!

While the omakase price may seem higher than others, we fully believe the number of courses, portion size, and beautifully crafted + delicious courses are fully worth it.

Will come back for the next special occasion!“

“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.“

“Had a tasty lunch! Thank you!“

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

“I'll write about how I got my reservation but I am so glad I did because our dinner was so delicious!
Because it's the turn of the season we got lucky to have some new dishes.
Everything is totally fresh and light and the fish dishes were up to Chef Taneda in how to incorporate new flavors with fish that is in season. I absolutely love uni and I'm glad there were a few dishes with it. I also am not a huge fan of squid because usually it's so rubbery but this has been the best I've ever had! It was creamy and light!!!

Everyone was so so friendly and I loved talking to the chef! Also other reviews said you had to go upstairs for the bathroom but they have their own bathroom in the restaurant with a Japanese toilet that is heated and I loved it haha, it reminded me of Japan.

I loved all of the things I tried along with the sake pairing. I highly recommend going, I left happy and full!

I was lucky enough to snag a reservation after I REALLY tried. Here is a tip to book as they fill up in less than a minute:
Log into your tock account and go to the calendar day you want to go to and around the time so everything is pre set. Literally as SOON as it turns 11, I refreshed my phone and got my day and time! Everything was already there so I didn't have to go clicking through. That was my trick and it worked for me the first time I ever tried it! Good luck!“

“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.“

“Didn’t even have the chance to photograph the bowls, they were so good! Highly recommend the Chojang Poke, it’s with the very special Chojang sauce which takes the bowl to another level! Black Sesame Tofu is another good choice especially for vegetarian. You can use all the stools and couches in the lobby so enjoy the meal!“

“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.“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

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

“Absolutely loved this AYCE sushi spot! The crispy salmon roll was delicious, and the Katsu paired with the BBQ curry sauce was a standout. The garlic edamame was amazing—super flavorful and addictive. Prices are very reasonable per person, and the endless ice cream included in the all-you-can-eat deal is such a nice bonus. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!“

“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.“

“a must visit not just sushi we came here every morning for a amazing English breakfast at a great price 7.50 euros for a big full breakfast or smaller one 4.50 euros,also do sandwiches 🥪 with fries ect best food around at sea front opposite the hand ✋️ 😋 highly recommended and I do alot of reviews big thanks terry and vanessa from the uk“

“BEST sushi in Seattle. Good prices, GREAT staff! I go often. Ask Hehe to fix up his famous chef's special!“

“Amazing udon and otoro! Such sweet people, too! Thanks!“

“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 me some Sushi 🍣. If I could eat Sushi EVERYDAY, I would. I LOVE I can stuff my face without guilt. This is a place my family heads to when its Sushi Time! The ladies are very kind and service is effortless. The food is great.. I'm satisfied.. now I WANT Sushi .. yet it's 1030pm so I'll have to wait till tomorrow.. thank you Sam for being so near by....see you soon!“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

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

“Best sushi I’ve had! Everything was high quality. Even the pickled ginger was amazing.

It’s all so good, but I highly recommend the various types salmon nigiri — sockeye was my favorite.

Seabream nigiri was incredible, too — apparently it is traditionally served on special occasions!“

“Amazing variety and absolutely delicious selections! I only eat cooked, and they had SO much to choose from. The woman working the register was super friendly and pointed out every single cooked option. Priced at $15/pound, I spent just under $18 and ended up not being able to finish my tray.“

“Absolutely a hidden gem for fresh, AFFORDABLE sushi in Seattle. Their specialty rolls are so tasty, with unique combos that they change up seasonally. Love the Energy roll (mango is fire in sushi!) Validated parking garage with lots of spots, making this an easy spot for a quick bite or takeout.“

“せつこさんケーキは、シアトルで一番美味しくて、夫婦揃って大好きです。My husband I love her cakes, and this is the best place for sweets in Seattle.“

“My husband and I ate here the other day and were very impressed with the service! We have loved the food and drink before and would definitely recommend this place. We were very impressed by the front of house server who was doing a fantastic job especially for being the only front of house employee working that night. She was very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about her work.“

“The account I used to comment on was maliciously stolen. I really miss this restaurant. I will be there on time when you open the door.“

“This place may be small, but that is FAR overshadowed by the quality of the food! The sushi is made fresh. Even the sushi rice is seasoned to perfection! Don’t skip over the Poke bowl, the Ahi melts in your mouth which only comes with quilty tuna. Service was exceptional and attentive. Such a great place!“

“😋 This place has the best Japanese curry in Seattle!“

“The account I used to comment on was maliciously stolen. I really miss this restaurant. I will be there on time when you open the door.“

“This was the perfect dinner spot on our way back home from some errands. We had our baby with us and we’re always on the lookout for a family friendly spot and this definitely was! We were greeted with super smiley and friendly staff, waving at our baby and making her laugh. The restaurant was clean and they had an extensive menu of delicious options. The beef yakisoba was filled with veggies and a generous portion of meat. Highly recommend this gem in Lake City!“

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

“Amazing sushi! Anytime I visit Seattle, this is a MUST! Their atmosphere and decor is instagrammable for sure, but their sushi and fast service is awesome. My best friend lives in Everette and she said that this is some of the best sushi she’s had in Seattle. Only reason I give service a 4 is because there is little to no human interaction with the staff. You order through a computer, rather than a person but they drop off your food, so if you’re okay with that then this is your place. Can’t wait to go back again already!“

“A decent sushi lunch place. They have your choice of poke bowls, bentos, sushi rolls and nigiri and salads. I usually drop by here to pick up a quick lunch when I have a craving for sushi. Quality is ok, not bad and not great. I think the poke bowls are the best thing to try here“

“As always, server was friendly , knowledgeable and helpful. Every part of the meal was delicious...from the cocktails and garlic edamame to the bluefin sushi, the seaweed salad and of course the sushi rolls. We'll return soon. It's a can't miss when visiting Seattle.“

“The account I used to comment on was maliciously stolen. I really miss this restaurant. I will be there on time when you open the door.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“We recently treated ourselves to AA Sushi and were super impressed by the food, service and ambiance. They had a wide selection of items that were expertly prepared and ready quickly! I was amazed to get an array of salmon rolls at an affordable price as part of their lunch special. The service was friendly and super helpful. I have been looking for a good sushi restaurant in North Seattle over the past two years and I think I have finally found our spot! We will definitely be returning.“

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