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“

“Placed an online order and didn’t realize how close it was to closing time. The person who packed my order was so kind, made sure everything was packed neatly, and the food was delicious. 10/0 will definitely be back again. Thank you so much 🩷“

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

“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.“

“Exceptional omakase experience! Sitting at the counter was truly like dinner and a show, the chefs being so warm and interactive as they prepared thoughtful and delicious combinations. All of the staff were so professional and coordinated. Had a great time here for my anniversary dinner and can’t wait to come back.“

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

“After trying various sushi omakase places in Seattle, Wataru stands as the top choice so far. The cuts were generous, expertly seasoned, and creative flavor pairings delivered a dining experience that was hard to forget. Each bite showcased the chef’s remarkable talent and careful craftsmanship. Chef was very kind and service was great.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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。❤️🎃“

“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.“

“I've been dreaming about the Black Walnut Old Fashion since my friend visited and ordered it about a year ago. Finally found myself in the neighborhood last weekend and I'm so glad I stopped by for one. It was the little heaven I had dreamed of. 11/10“

“Had a tasty lunch! Thank you!“

“Great rolls and sake. I had the red dragon and little tokyo and they both were delicious. Also had the shrimp tempura appetizer which was also great. The server was very attentive and patient. The chef was a master at rolling, the dishes were art pieces you can eat. I will be back here soon.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

“Fresh, fast and delicious! The portions are on point & the rice-ratio = perfection.

You can use the main door but if you’re 6ft watch your head (hanging signage). Recommend using the building door (to the right of restaurant) for access.“

“ordering from the tablet at the table was cool and convenient. i liked the huge complimentary bottle of water. i liked the the rancho roll, but it was a bit too fishy for my wife and she preferred the fried california roll. we both liked the crunchy roll. the gyoza and takoyaki were good too“

“A great spot for authentic kaiseki in Seattle. The dishes are creative and the presentation is thoughtful, extending to the beautiful ceramics and plating. It’s a quiet, intimate space that’s perfect for a focused meal or a date. Service was excellent and professional. They apply an automatic 20% service charge but don’t ask for tips on top of that, which simplifies the end of the meal. I’m looking forward to returning.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Went here on a whim while visiting some friends and I can't recommend this place enough. Service was quick and snappy, the woman waiting us was kind and responsive when we needed something, and the unagi bowl was *elite*. Me and my friends will be returning!“

“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 !“

“Delicious, great ambiance, freshest fish I had ever tasted and so reasonably priced!! Great portion size too, really nice from a sushi restaurant. It's just off the street from the main drag of Ballard and I've never had a wrong order in the 9 years I've been going here. Freshest fish I've had aside from one or two downtown spots!“

“Best sushi in town open late“

“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.“

“Area is for the most part a restaurant desert. Parking lot is small. If you don't live nearby, please leave room for nearby residents by parking at Husky Stadium.“
