Very good omakase overall, but it wasn't the best that I've had. I would still absolutely recommend this place, but I think for the price point there could be a few more bites. I think the nigiri is where they shine. Rice was seasoned well and the fish was fresh and well prepared. The hot dishes and side dishes were what left a little to be desired. The service was amazing, chefs are great and the place is pretty neat!

The Omakase umami experience of your dreams. Each bite was better than the last -- and there were 20+Not only did I learn the importance of rice and temperature, but watching the care and craft that went into every course will make anyone feel special. Tuna cut and prepared three different ways, two colors of the most perfect uni, and my first time having nodoguro (Black throat sea perch / AKA fatty white fish) which is like if tuna ate butter and then won every cooking competition by just showing up. Insanity.And don't hesitate to add the sake tasting. I know next to nothing about Sake other than I really liked all of the 5 glasses they served me that were perfectly unique and balanced against each bite -- and if you are lucky enough to get a glass of "Untitled", or "Seventh Heaven" (Masumi Nanago Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo) you're welcome.Pro tip: if you are traveling solo / traveling alone/ traveling for business, you can get added as the 11th person to the normal 10-person Omakase table on Tock! I was lucky enough to snag a same day reservation while researching the best sushi in Seattle on my 7-hour flight. You just need to book before 12 pm PT by searching for that coveted reservation for one. And a 5 pm seating for an East Coaster is the perfect dinner reservation for your first night on a business trip to get to bed and wake up happy.A huge thank you to Chef Suzuki and team - and a huge thank you to the staff that made me feel welcomed from the start and that I was never dining alone. I will be back for that 11th seat.Dietary restrictions: Can accommodate - just let them know ahead of time!

I’m still dreaming about my meal here. Each bite was a delight, and the presentation just blew us away. Hands down, some of the best sushi we’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. Highly recommended!

A wonderful omakase experience. First and foremost, the food was excellent! But everything else was amazing too. The staff, the ambiance, the sake - all great. Our evening was reminiscent of some of our favorite meals in small restaurants in Japan.

We had an amazing anniversary dinner here. Their omakase chef choice is spectacular. Everything is on point. I'm in love with their chu-toro and spot prawn with uni. Chef kissed ?

Most amazing omakase in Seattle with Chef Suzuki and his team! Lovely 20 course meal with options to extend. You won’t leave hungry or unsatisfied. There is limited seating and reservations are made through Tock.I loved everything but my favorite was the flounder with a shush leaf, pickled prawn sauce and a little yellow wasabi. Pair it with your favorite Japanese Pilsner or lager and it’s an amazing meal.The chefs are very friendly and interact with you a lot. I loved how intimate the setting is and how formal everything is. Make sure to get a seat at the sushi counter so you can marvel at their skill.They served an assortment of nigiri (king salmon, 3 types of tuna, yellowfin, mackerel, scallop, eel, flounder, snapper and more). They also give you a miso soup, steamed egg with fish broth with 3 pieces of seafood, a couple of appetizer like dishes, a hand roll, and an uni with salmon roe (ikura) dish. To top it off, you get a sweet egg (tamago) custard with green tea. Extension’s seemed delicious but I was too full to order more.Can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner experience at the sushi bar. Sushi Suzuki delivered on my high expectations. Reservations are tricky to get - but they drop for the upcoming week Sundays at 11AM! While pricey and will be for special occasions, the experience is really nice. I believe we were there for 2.5 hours for the full tasting. The drink menu is great with different options depending on your preference. Of course, the omakase is spectacular. The fish was fresh, the combinations and varieties through the whole omakase was well thought out. They also allow for "add-ons" at the end in case you want another bite or two to finish off your meal (but before their last official dessert course). The spot is intimate - and conversation with the chefs and your neighbors is highly encouraged. We had a lovely conversation with everyone around us!

Had such a lovely evening here tonight! Ambience, service, and food were top notch. Enjoyed everything in the 20 course omakase.

This omakase-style sushi restaurant offers a unique and unforgettable experience. If you haven't tried it before, it's well worth the time and cost. I've always enjoyed sushi, but this experience took it to a whole new level! You won't find any over-the-top dragon, fire, spicy rolls here. Instead, you'll witness a master chef's incredible display of the finest sushi you'll ever taste. It was an exceptional experience!

One of the best meals I've ever had! Chef Suzuki has created an atmosphere that is cozy, welcoming, entertaining and delicious. Before the meal started, the guests were encouraged to mingle and open up with their neighbors, and we had some great people sitting next to us. If you are looking for a silent meal or are a wall flower, this might not be the atmosphere for you (or maybe sit at a table instead of the counter). I don't usually eat huge meals and was worried about the amount of courses, but it was absolutely perfect! Definitely going to return for a special occasion, or random weekday evening.

Best omakase experience I have ever had. The taste of the food shined and I learned so much about the fish, some of which I hadn't had before. The service and experience were unparalleled. Very friendly and even humorous. Omakase can sometimes feel serious and austere but not here - there was a feeling of welcoming and community. The price makes it a special occasion place but it was completely worth it. Completely. I feel lucky to have had the experience.

I like the unique entrance of strolling down the alley way, where the restaurant is somewhat hidden. There were bar and table seating which the arrangement seems optimal without feeling overcrowded. The service was amazing where they introduced the chefs and waiters serving for the evening. The chefs were entertaining and fun to interact with. They provided great pacing with each dish/course. Overall, the courses/dishes were good but only a few is memorable to me. Their chutoro was amazing and the aged it before serving. They even showed us the piece that they were aging. They provided a variety of fishes and other dishes to ensure all their guests were full before they leave. Not sure if certain ingredients were not in season or place of import that they didn't have the natural sweetness or texture doesn't melt like I expected, such as the fatty tuna, uni, and geoduck.

Flor C.

Enjoyed all the dishes, with uni being the best. The bottle of sake suggested was great. You are definitely paying for the experience. The chef and the staff were very engaged and attentive to customer needs.
