50 Best Sushi Bars in Seattle

“Had a Great Experience. Would definitely Recommend.“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Absolutely phenomenal service and food. We had recently visited Japan and were looking for Omakase in Seattle that would match the style and quality of what we had experienced there and Wataru hit the spot.

The red bluefin tuna and the Spanish mackerel were particular highlights along with the Anagi. An absolutely splendid 17 courses. We look forward to coming back soon to enjoy Chef Kumita’s sushi.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“Had a tasty lunch! Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Seriously the best sushi around Capitol Hill 😍 🍣 Yes, you might have to wait a little bit sometimes because they are constantly flooded with high-volume orders and usually only have 1 or 2 sushi chefs working their magic—but let me tell you, every single bite is 100% worth the wait! The staff is incredibly sweet, friendly, and they work so hard to give you the best experience possible. I am so grateful for their dedication. I will definitely, without a doubt, be back again and again“

“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。❤️🎃“

“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!“

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

“Honestly, this is the kind of sushi that makes all the exhaustion from the week melt away. 🍣✨ I’ve never had sushi this good in Seattle! And Mandy’s lychee martini? Absolutely THE BEST. 🍸🤍
The tataki and tuna are incredibly fresh, and every bite is just perfection.
If you want to sit at the sushi counter make sure to get here early! It’s a great experience with such a cozy welcoming vibe.
Yume Sushi is hands down my favorite sushi spot in Magnolia!!!!! 🤍🍣“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Excellent sushi and service !“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“The food was great, the quality was wonderful. It was my first time coming here. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star was because the service was slow, I think they had an off night. And maybe they were overwhelmed with online orders but they forgot one of my items I ordered and when I made mention of it they took like another 20-25 mins to bring it to my table.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Stayed in Seattle for a week with a group of friends, and we all agree this is hands down the best food we had while there. Came in and was sat down right away, the staff was friendly and made sure we always had our drinks full without needing to say anything. I personally ordered 4 different rolls while the rest of the group got 1-2 rolls each and some of them got a meal meal they offer to try too.

While we were there, we were sharing food with each other and we all were falling in love with what we were all eating. We finally got to the Philly roll and let me tell you what, BEST SUSHI ROLL YOU WILL EVER EAT!!! Each of my friends were jealous they didn't get that roll and asked if they could have more of it because it was just that good. Of course I kept the 3 extra pieces left for myself because it was SO DAMN GOOOOOOD.

After we were finished eating we asked for the checks, and when they brought them out, they brought out 3 free deserts for us to share and enjoy. We were completely shocked by the kind gesture.

Better expect that every time I come back, this will be my first stop for something wonderful.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The torch salmon is deliciously fatty and melts in your mouth. The jade roll is fresh and incredibly rich, with three different kinds of fish. It's good that it comes with soy sauce to balance. I also ordered miso soup and in total, only spent $21. Large menu and great variety in seafood. Inside is small but has large tables. Super lunch option for healthy and filling!“

“Great classic Seattle teriyaki chicken. Surprisingly good sushi for a teriyaki shop - they have a sushi chef on staff. (I highly recommend the Garlic Seared Salmon). Friendly service, very generous portions, food is served quickly. Both dine in and take out are good experiences. We go there at least weekly.“

“Its a tiny shop inside the building with very limited seating. But, dont let that stop you from enjoying a delicious poke bowl. The amount of sushi in the bowl is the most ive ever seen. They dont fill it with alot of vegetables, just lots of tasty sushi! Definitely a must eat!“

“I ordered the middle of the road omakase and got a good spread. the wild next to the farmed salmon was a fun comparison. I've never had squid cut in tiny curly bits like it was. I asked about Uni but was told they were out, which was disappointing. I'm also not a huge fan of scanning a QR code for a menu.“

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

“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.“

“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.“
