If you love Karaage, you gotta check this spot! Everything is so good here! My favorite is the karaage but their takoyaki and deluxe curry are super tasty as well. The fries are amazing - I love the yakisoba sauce flavored dry spice - I couldn't stop going for more! The restaurant has lots of dipping sauce options. My favorites are the hot habanero and wasabi ranch! Their white peach soda is a great drink option - it's refreshing and goes very well with the food! Overall, food portion is big, price is reasonable, ambience is casual but nice, and service is great!

My girlfriend and I went here it was overall pretty good as I had the karrage plate which was great and my girlfriend had the loco-moco Hamburg which was great, but she got some form of food poison like symptoms after(1-3hrs). So I would caution the loco-moco and check to make sure it’s cooked fully.

Excellent chicken karaage. Sushi wasn't exactly top tier but did the trick. Corn in the mac salad... not terrible but strange. The sauces were good and more quantity than I was expecting. Great service with attentive staff. Drinks are kinda weak. Food came out hot and fast.

Came here based on the high reviews and my love for good chicken Karage since I came back from Japan. I have yet to find a place that replicates the chiicken karaage like I had at Lawson's or the dozens of food markets under the department stores. Walked in, was immediately sat down. Restaurant is medium sized. Ordering is done via QR code and payment is cashless. Love that combo. Chicken Karaage Curry with soft boiled egg 3/5: The curry did not have too much flavor to it, and they poured it over the Karaage which did not allow me to taste the Karaage in its original form. The soft boiled egg was not really soft as the yolk was hard. I did manage to taste some bits of Karaage without curry which was really good. This prompted me to order another order of Karaage in its original form. Karaage Small 5/5: The flavor did remind me of Japan. This is probably the closest I've had to Karaage in Japan. Crunchy exterior with the right amount of ginger, garlic and soy while the chicken is very juicy. Highly recommend this. Didn't get a chance to try the Spicy or Lemon Pepper. Next time. Overall, the prices were very reasonable, quick service and nice ambiance. Will definitely be back.

The place is very close to CityU so convenient to eat during lunch. They close during mid afternoon when it's slow. The karaage plate has a good portion of meat that it was shareable for 2. It came with miso soup but it tasted a bit bland so perhaps it was diluted too much. The karaage on the other hand was okay, the sauces are extra $ though (just fyi). Parking is not so great because it is just street parking so you'll have to be creative to look for them when it's busy. The California roll was good and I am surprised how well it held itself. The sushi rice mixture was very good. Service is also good and very attentive. The place is a mix of Hawaiian and Japanese. Overall I will still come back here for a quick lunch.

Karaage Setsuna is seriously one of the most underrated spots in Seattle, especially if you're looking for Japanese Hawaiian food. The chicken karaage is crazy juicy and has incredible flavor from the marinade. The curry rice is also outstanding, and tastes like home cooking in the best way possible.Can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu.
Yeah thumbs up from me, the edamame/pasta salad was nice, and the salmon poke sushi roll was yummy.Not pretentious, generous portions and good flavors. Think neighbourhood dinner, not date night.Didn't try the Karaage fried chicken, but will come back next time.
I finally made it to Karaage Setsuna, and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. This is seriously one of the most underrated spots in Seattle, especially if you're looking for Japanese Hawaiian food. My fiance and I went for the curry rice with chicken karaage, so we could try two things at once. It looked unassuming in pictures, but my expectations were quickly blown away. Not only is the chicken crazy juicy, it has incredible flavor from the marinade - specifically sake. The curry and red pickles were also outstanding. It tastes home cooking in the best way possible. We also got a side of macaroni salad, which in my opinion is a great litmus test for Hawaiian food. It was awesome! Ditto for the french fries, which are made using butter and soy sauce. It all gives me a lot of confidence in the rest of the menu, and I'm now trying to figure out when I can make it back here.

Solid place get some rolls and karaage. Cute little restaurant that is a hit up if you are looking for crispy chicken karaage which is perfectly fried and the meat inside tender. We also ordered the sashimi salad with Tuna and Salmon. Super yummy. The karaage curry was solid. A little light flavor than I am accustomed to but still good. We ordered the tempura rolls which was well made. The ordering system was via phone and had tons of options and flexibility. Service was exceptional too. Solid place to visit.

Came for a V-Day treat! Wandering the streets of Belltown looking for some eats led us to the inviting steps of Karaage Setsuna. We were seated immediately. The ordering system is funny. You scan a QR code and order from your phone! It was easy enough but just felt odd that we still also had someone wait on us. We obvi got the karaage plate. Great chicken, loved the Mac salad. We got one lemon pepper style which I would really recommend for the extra tang. We also got spicy mayo and mango mayo. Spicy mayo feels like a classic but the mango mayo was the big game changer, kinda sweet and also tang! It's all about the tang! Its seems like a real casual neighborhood spot. They were playing pop music the whole time. I would stop in again for another weeknight dinner!
