50 Best Sushi Bars in Seattle

“Had a Great Experience. Would definitely Recommend.“

“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. 💕💕😋“

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

“Restaurant slow at 5pm on a Thursday but quickly picked up! There was only server but she did a great job. We liked the Outstanding, Aloha, and the Spider roll the best. The Thai tea was weak and too milky but other than that, it was a good experience.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 best experience coming to chef Suzuki‘s restaurant for my dad‘s birthday! All of the food and the flavors were delicious, it was awesome to try so many different courses. The fish melted in your mouth! The staff were extremely friendly, interactive and accommodating and answered all of our questions!“

“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.“

“After hearing about Wataru from a friend, I was very eager to try it, and then my wife surprised me with a dinner here with my son for Father's Day.

From start to finish, the food, service, and hospitality were all incredible. Every course was delicious, and even as we started to get full we found ourselves pushing through to try the next amazing item.

We will absolutely be back to this gem of a restaurant!“

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

“Very good sushi and Japanese food. I don't remember many eclectic or unique items, but the menu is extensive and everything is well prepared. They have just about every kind of Japanese food and a nice variety of sake, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. The service is friendly and efficient.“

“Sushi Licious is our go-to place when we’re craving different things. They have great sushi, incredible poke bowls, fantastic Korean fried chicken, and even delicious ramen and udon. Really good bar program with a wide variety of sake and soju, draft Japanese beers, and plenty of wine. Highly recommend getting the Half Moon Roll, an order of the boneless chicken, and the ramen. The staff are all so kind and attentive. Really nice interior with cool decorations. Great spot for a fun date night. This place has it all!!!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“One of my favorite Japanese restaurants (not to mention the oldest in Seattle) and it has never disappointed me. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and warm. It’s a difficult time we are in with the pandemic of 2020, but Maneki has transitioned to take out, which it never did before, and is so organized that it blew my mind when I saw how clearly labeled each item was when I got home. I could easily tell which was part of the teishoku 定食 or “set meal.” Support this small business because it needs us now more than ever. 01 DEC 2020.“

“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.“

“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。❤️🎃“

“Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Bartender Justin is extremely accommodating and friendly. Liberty is an amazing new home bar. Will be frequenting regularly.“

“Had a tasty lunch! Thank you!“

“My new favorite sushi spot! I cannot get enough of it. I love the crispy rice with salmon or tuna. The fish tastes so fresh. I can’t believe I didn’t go sooner. The staff is great and so nice and welcoming. It’s truly a great spot for lunch or dinner.“

“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.“

“This was an amazing restaurant! Lots of dishes! Very good sushi and kaiseki dishes. Very good restaurant for those special occasions (anniversary or birthdays). Chef Taneda was very friendly as he makes the sushi dishes in front of you. All while the keiseki dishes come out in front of you.“

“excellent sushi! everything was fresh and delicious! highly recommend checking them out!“

“Love love loved my food !!!! My bf Even scored free miso too lol (he speaks Korean and Japanese and the cashier got excited). I had a scallop roll! Tasted some of his bimibap and my friends Tuna and salmon sashimi and they were absolutely amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you!“

“We tried 8 items and every single one was delicious. The New York roll was incredible. I had something that starts with a Y I forgot the name of (w/ tempura shrimp and spicy crab salad) and I could've eaten three. My kids liked their NY and spicy tuna rolls so much that they ordered seconds. The ramen bowl was petite enough that I could eat it plus two rolls (and share a dessert) and not explode, be super satisfied. The ramen was $6.95, fancy rolls were $8.95, edamame $2.95, and wine $6. The ube cheesecake, OMG. Unbelievable. I cannot believe how delicious this was for the price. Also, service was 👌Very kid friendly. I cannot wait to come back!“

“My favorite sushi spot. This is family business in magnolia with some of the best sushi. It feels like you’re at home here and the quality is amazing. My favorite roll is the hot mess roll but I love the nigiri and the monkey brains! If you’re in the area this is a must place stop“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“If you have a post-japan depression and want to eat some great quality sashimi/nigiri stateside, this is the spot to go. I am very picky about sushi but their otoro was amazing! Their emperor roll is also great. Overall a really enjoyable dinner for us.“

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

“Chef and staff went more than above and beyond with the entire experience. We went there after proposing and the entire course was delicious. Beautifully presented, and they even made us a cake as a congratulatory gift.

The entire staff made us feel very special“

“Wow why aren't people talking about this place more! First off the menu is incredible - I spent about 20 minutes just trying to decide what to get because everything sounded so good! My waiter was very patient with me.
I ended up getting the lunch special spicy scallop and spicy tuna rolls, and the ocean queen. Everything was exactly what I wanted it to be. The fish to rice ratio was perfect, the fish was fresh and plentiful, and even the pickled ginger was above average. I NEED to go back and try everything else on the menu. Please give these guys a try!“

“I love that this place is so reliablely consistent and good. We have our faves - the dinners that come with miso soup, salad and rice are a great deal. It reminds me of the casual Japanese restaurants of the 90's and I mean that in the best way.“

“Best sushi in town open late“

“The quality of fish here is exceptional. We go to a variety of sushi restaurants around town, and we keep coming back here because every morsel of fish is so tender and delicious. It’s really unique. I don’t know how they do it here. They’ve got some old connections with fish suppliers or something like that I think. Delicious !“

“This will forever be my favorite spot for lunch in seattle. Truly great options for Japanese fish and rice. Amazing quality and delicious meals. While some may be scared of the price this is seattle and these small buisness have high overhead we know this. And supporting a small buisness like this is 100% worth it for a truly amazing meal“

“Food is decent, maybe too much rice on the sushi though. I would order maybe 5-10 plates for the first round of Ayce as some are 8pc. We were stuffed with 15 plates. The area smells like piss, you can definitely still smell it if you sit close to the door and have a strong nose like I do.“

“We just stopped in for drinks, but the food looked amazing. Drinks were great and reasonably priced. Friendly staff and cool decor.“

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

“Absolutely fire sushi spot. Fish tasted super fresh, rolls were packed and actually worth the price, and the presentation was clean. Staff was friendly and fast even when it got busy. The spicy tuna roll and salmon nigiri were probably some of the best I’ve had in a while. Atmosphere was chill, good music, and overall just a solid place to eat. Definitely coming back.“

“We came here to escape extremely loud music at a nearby pub when we just wanted a quiet night out and we were so pleased by the soft bossanova music and the exceptional service from the staff here. We’ve come here at least weekly ever since and are proud to be new regulars.

Expect deliciously fresh rolls at reasonable prices, and a warm greeting right when you walk in.“

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