“It was nice when you used to be able to walk-in, but for good reason SKT has grown in popularity so I would recommend to always book a reservation or you may not get a table. It has a great mix of traditional sushi items, as well as unique offerings that we can't find elsewhere. We used to always order à la carte but recently tried the omakase and the slight variations are awesome.“
“Even though I have been blessed to have had numerous epic meals, the dining experience at LTD Edition Sushi is easily one of the five best dining experiences of my life and maybe even the absolute best ever.The food is both creative and exceptionally prepared with the highest quality ingredients, the service is seamless and as friendly or unobtrusive as you want it to be, and the ambience (sitting at the sushi bar) is jovial and more akin to eating and drinking in a dear friend's kitchen than at a fancy restaurant.While the price is high ($277, including the very generous sake pairing), it is not an expensive meal, as a night at LTD Edition Sushi is one of the best fine dining values that you can find anywhere.“
“We went there during Seattle’s restaurant week and we could not be disappointed! The hosts and the whole service was amazing .. and the food really good - the quality and variety of the fish was just perfect.Although we are not dessert people, we decided to try the matcha tiramisu (and what a lovely surprise!!)“
“Delicious rolls and noodles! 12th Ave roll and the yakisoba noodles were amazing and definitely a favorite from our group. The noodles were spicy and very flavorful. The 12th Ave roll was delicious with shrimp tempura and spicy tuna. We also ordered the Madison roll but weren’t huge fans of it. Other things we ordered were the miso soup, rainbow roll, and the crunchy cali roll. Service was great and the food came out fast. We also ordered the jasmine tea and hibiscus berry tea. The center garden area in the restaurant is beautiful and the overall ambiance is very calm and inviting. Overall a great dinner!“
“Very excited to have this place in my neighborhood. Sushi on Capitol Hill has become hit and miss. Have been twice, both times extremely happy with the food and service. I hope they stay for years to come!Dietary restrictions: Very friendly and helpful when speaking about dietary restrictions, even though it was busy.“
“IT'S NOT FISH! It looks like fish and the texture is firm like fish, but when you see it irl you can tell it doesn't quite catch the light the same way, and the flavor is lacking the distinctive taste that salmon has, and the deep buttery flavor of tuna. However, the rolls we got were all very flavorful and well-prepared. I especially liked the crunchy salmon roll, I think is what it was. And the one we got with tempura "shrimp". The seaweed salad was delicious too. I would definitely like to come back.“
“can’t go wrong with anything on this menu. that being said, i think my expectations were set too high for this restaurant, or just wasn’t ordering the right dishes. the black cod collar was the best dish, but the shabu shabu—while good—was underwhelming in the meat portion.“
“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.“
“Rondo was amazing. Went for lunch and had an interesting bento box. I can't remember the name as it was on the lunch special menu, but had 6 sashimi, mini hamburger patty, bolognese sauce over rice, and a couple more items. It sounds a little weird but was really awesome! The quality of the sashimi in the bento box and in an appetizer ordered was extremely high!Another review mentioned the bento box being served in a plastic tray even though it was dine-in. This is true, but definitely not something that I think had a negative aspect at all (and it's a nice tray) and matches the vibe of the restaurant, it's an izakaya not a formal dining room. Thoroughly recommend!“
“First time for us here, celebrating our 3rd anniversary of meeting. Excellent food, service, and prices. No reservations in a really popular venue, so plan for a slight wait. Staff is awesome, and explained dishes we weren't familiar with.? The venue is noisy, so don't expect a subdued, intimate experience. We'll definitely be back!“
“Sushi By Scratch in Seattle is quite an experience with each and every bite more amazing than the next. It's like a Speakeasy for sushi. Reservations are hard to get, and you walk up to unmarked doors and ring the bell. If you like sushi, you will never be happy with "belt sushi" ever again. From all the fish, wagyu, caviar and mystery ice cream to the teas, Japanese whiskies and hand-crafted cocktails. All of it pure art, I highly recommend!“
“We went there before going to a concert and the food was SO GOOD IT WAS AMAZING. I highly recommend the poke bowl or the chicken yakitori. Their fish was so delicious and their greens were so fresh. Their service was very nice and the place had a very nice chill vibe. LOVE this place absolutely going again!!“
“This was hands down the best nigiri and kaiseki I've had, even compared to the high end sushi restaurants in Japan it's that good.Dining here feels like I was back in Japan eating sushi at the sushi bars, the table, layout, and size are all the same. And the fish was amazing. Some of my highlights were the smoked fish, smoked krab rice, fatty tuna, and the wagyu beef teriyaki was delicious, very Seattle.It is on the expensive side and hard to get but well worth it if you want some of the best fish in your life.Parking: Hard to find parking on cap hill so bus, train, or Uber if possible.“
“Lovely staff, outstanding cocktails, and superb sushi with a kitchen that is open fairly late. I have celiac disease and the gluten free menu is quite extensive. I've never had an issue here. They can do takeout when the place isn't too busy, but take the time to sit down if you can.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options! I'm sensitive to cross contamination, and have done well here.“
“I really appreciated the variety and uniqueness of their menu here, especially the starters and signature sashimi. Our highlights were scallop-uni with yuzu sesame and seared salmon with truffle ponzu but other dishes we ordered were also good and there were so many more on the menu I'd like to try so definitely will be returning! Efficient service and attentive staff. Clean & minimalistic ambiance. Highly recommended!“
“SERVICE: immediately met by friendly hellos and warm greetings. very nice throughout the whole ordering process and extremely helpful. FOOD: to start i ordered a taro boba tea and my boyfriend ordered a wintermelon tea with rainbow jelly. both drinks were really good, and the rainbow jelly was super tasty. the taro boba always slaps. i ordered a chicken pho with mushrooms and tofu; the broth was good and super flavorful. my partner got tonkotsu ramen, he said the broth was very savory, the pork was fatty and delicious, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. he wanted it a little spicier so he added chili oil to the broth which he said made it amazing! AMBIANCE: its a very cozy atmosphere and is a perfect place for students to come and grab a quick bite. PRICE: reasonably priced for seattle food. LOCATION: amazing location for seattleu students, its on the corner of a busy street with a decent amount of foot traffic and is easy to get to. GENERAL OPNION: we love this place, and we have been going to this place since 2022, the food has always been superb and the boba is always amazing. its a go to spot that we recommend to everyone who visits the area.“
“Another reels recommendation. Cash and Venmo onlyWe live in issaquah so this place is quite the trek. My partner was particularly drawn in by the oversized roll with a variety of fish.Maybe I picked the wrong menu items, but overall not sure what the hype is about. The oversized roll is 30$+ so it’s not like it’s cheaper on a per serving basis.The fish was also so cold to the point where it hurt my teeth to eat (I do have sensitive teeth, but I’ve never had trouble with sushi before). Having so many different fish in a roll meant I couldn’t actually taste the individual flavors very well. I’m also not a fan of raw green onions paired with sushi.The other rolls also weren’t anything special. We got a scallop nigiri which was good tho.Overall probably won’t be driving an hour to come here again.“
“I came to know this place for the Peruvian food, but I was delighted with the sushi, after having visited several Japanese restaurants, I chose this place, it is incredible, the attention given by the waitress Lorena was very special, my wife and I were delighted, I I recommend 100%“
“Great personalized service and Japanese Fine Dining experience!!! Love the card Sai prepared! This is the best Omakase experience!!! Also with limited seating for each night, we finally can dine out without fear of Covid! Definitely will visit again!!!“
“Shiki is our go to restaurant when we have events around the Seattle center area. Best to have reservations as the dining area inside is cozy. Wonderful menu and I love their miso soup as they use a darker miso paste which gives it a richer flavor. Highly recommended!“
“Food was fresh miso soup some of the best I've had and I usually don't care for it. We had two rolls, and it was a lot of food. I found it to be kind of pricey, but good quality food and a lot of it. the restaurant itself is a little dark and hard. It didn't feel like a sushi place but I gave it four stars because the food really was outstanding.“
“great value, super yummy food - highly recommend! The workers are super friendly and the self serve bar was easy/fast. I stopped by here during my trip to Seattle and was so happy I did! We ended up spending only about $17 for 12 peices total. I really wish this restaurant had more locations!!“
“The Kudedon Bowl was quite amazing. It has Salmon, Albacore Tuna, grilled eel, shrimp, Tuna , and Ikura(orange roe) along with some shiitake mushrooms, greens on a bed of sushi rice. The staff was friendly and quick with the order. The place is in the lobby of one of the building in 4th Ave in Downtown Seattle so be prepared to either take it to go or sit on the lobby sofa or some of the stool by the main doors to the building. That said, don't be deterred by that, the food is worth it. Enjoy!“
“The food is all very good. I especially liked the seared salmon belly. The rice is an amazing texture. The cashier/waitress also bagged up my food for me to take home. I always find this extra level of service to be nice. I look forward to coming back in a few months and giving a better review. My drink could’ve come out a bit quicker than it did. I waited for water and my tea for, maybe just under 10 minutes. My appetizer also came out after three of my Sushi courses. Maybe they don’t do coursing, but that was not communicated. It also seemed as though the staff they had was not familiar with the full menu. They were not able to make the taiyaki ice cream dessert for me because their main chef was not present, and no one was trained on how to make it. I think these are the kind of things that can be expected from a new restaurant. I look forward to coming back once again when I feel as though they’ve had adequate time to smooth out the bumps. As other people have pointed out the pricing is also quite good for what you get.“
“Possibly the best meal of my life. We dined omakase and left full and very satisfied. The cook and server were very attentive and friendly, and clearly had fun along with the customers. The food was a wonderful blend of straightforward servings of high quality fish and some more adventurous and surprising dishes such as cod milt and a yuzu scallop. Truly one to remember and I can't recommend it highly enough.“
“What a pleasant surprise to find in the Lower First Hill scene! Really awesome happy hour selection and deal with an intimate yet inviting vibe. Good quality sushi considering the price and a wide selection of non sushi items. Definitely recommend the Baked Salmon roll!“
“Hands down the best sushi spot Washington has ever had. Everything here is fantastic, from the drinks, the apps, the rolls, and even the service from the staff! Sugo is just what Seattle was missing. The atmosphere is intimate & inviting, getting to see the food prepped right in front of you while speaking with staff is such a unique experience as well. Be warned once you try Sugo, there's no going back to any other sushi spots.“

“WOW. To find this amazing line up of creative sushi dishes at the quality and price Wasabi has in Capitol Hill?! I'm shocked I haven't eaten here every day since they opened. Cannot recommend this place more for all your sushi cravings “
“Bamboo sushi is a staple for date nights and great place to enjoy both fresh sashimi snd prepared roles. We tell people to get the green machine and rainbow roles. The hoki poki box entree is amazing. The miso soup and the edamame are great starters. Last time we were in we tried the Chirashi bowl as well which was great. The service at the bar is really quick and although we haven’t indulged, I hear their cocktails are good as well.Vegetarian options: There are multiple tasty roles and other dishes served without meat or animal products.Dietary restrictions: They will ask at the beginning of the meal and they will accommodate as necessary.Parking: There are multiple free parking lots and parking garages in the area.Kid-friendliness: This is a kid friendly establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: University place and the surrounding restaurants are all wheelchair accessible.“
“I had the lunch special of Chili and Basil, the service was swift and very friendly, the food and atmosphere was equally enjoyable! It’s also quite fairly priced considering the location! I would highly recommend this restaurant for lunch, or even for catering! The noodles are a palette cleanser, so they’re meant to be a mild flavor, which does wonders for enjoying the meal to its fullest! I’ll be having my lunches here from now on! Thank you for the wonderful service Ti22!“
“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.“
“One of our longtime favorite sushi restaurants, Sam's is always delicious. On our recent trip, we enjoyed nigiri, bento box, and udon soup--it was all outstanding. This restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Street parking is hit and miss (no parking lot unfortunately). Now that bento now comes with maguro (tuna) instead of hamashi, but the wait staff graciously provided hamachi (yellowtail) this time only. We'll be back!Kid-friendliness: family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Door is wide enough, but needed help opening (old building). Ramp just inside was wide, easy to walk down. Regular tables, able to wheel up to one. Didn't use the rest room. No handicap parking but you may find street parking nearby. We found a place out front, there's an old ramp right here too (former loading dock?). Staff was pleasant and helpful.“
“Amazing sushi -- and sustainable! The only downside is the server with the Coke-bottle glasses, easily the most annoying server I have encountered in my many years of dining. He was like something out of an episode of _Curb Your Enthusiasm_. If you have the misfortune of getting him, make it clear at the outset that you want to enjoy your meal in peace and will not tolerate his clueless pestering.“
“I absolutely love this place. I used to be a Musashi's follower, but I got tired of feeling like they were doing me a favor by serving me. Kozue welcomes you and honestly has amazing, fresh fish! Their sushi chef really knows what he is doing. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.“
“**April 2024: Weeknight Afternoon Visit** I had a hankerin' for seafood and found this little sushi spot that was walking distance away from my hotel. I was staying at Hotel 5 and this small joint was just a short 10 minute walk. Upon entering the establishment I noticed that it's really a small no frills counter that serves simple, but fresh and reasonably priced sushi/sashimi boxes. As such there's no seats and this is best for patrons who want a grab and go. Also, FYI they're only open in the evening (4:30pm-8:30pm: Mon-Sat) On my visit I ordered the Sashimi Set B $34.99 (4 pces of salon, tuna, yellowtail, albacore sashimi and salmon belly) as well as a 3rd ave roll $14.99 (albacore, cucumber, and avocado roll topped with seaweed salad, masago, sriracha and spicy mayo. I honestly would have been find with just the Sashimi set, but I my eyes were bigger than my stomach lol. The order came out pretty quickly, and I was pretty impressed with the quality and value. I wouldn't mind coming back here again for casual sushi!“
“The inside is like mixing up between jazz vinyl and traditional Japanese restaurant theme. The light is quite dim, and the overall feeling is unique (or distracted?).I like the raw fishes they served. I would like to try pieces of sushi next time.Tempura is okay. Not that great but not that bad neither.Udon is pretty...different than usual flavor. It's more like seafood-ish which is from bonito broth according to their description. I didn't like that much personally.“
“Our favorite meal in the PNW, by far. Reviews were great, so we went for it. It's definitely a place that would be busy on the weekends, so we went on a Monday.I've eaten some great sushi in several cities, but this was the most flavorful fish I've ever had. It all melted in your mouth with a buttery softness. Pieces that had tempura batter were scrumptious. We only had 1 dinner night in Seattle. Otherwise, we would have been back for sure.The server was attentive but knew when to let us do our thing. Terrific service overall and the food came out in a timely manner.Sushi can be expensive, but this place was fairly priced (low for its quality). Little corner place near Cherry Hill and Seattle University.Vegetarian options: Several rolls with all veggie options. The sweet potato roll was so good and simple.“
“We come here all the time! Sushi is super fresh, balanced, and fairly priced. The family that runs it is incredible. Warm and inviting and happy to be there. Highly recommend the Allison roll (for their daughter Allison) and the Katsu Curry. My bf tries something new each time, but I go for the Allison roll and to steal bites of his curry. Give this local small business a shot for a perfect lowkey evening. *Can also confirm we've gotten their takeout and the sushi is just as fresh!*“
“There isn't a lot of choice when it comes to sushi or Japanese food in general in West Seattle. Thankfully, Irashai is great. I routinely get sushi takeout from here - they're quick to fill the orders and the staff is always pleasant and friendly. The non-sushi part of the menu is also really solid. Glad to have this place close by for my sushi needs.“
“TLDR: amazing quality sushi, kind staff, and good prices (compared to other sushi places). Highly recommend checking this cute hole-in-the-wall spot out if you are craving takeout sushi.5 pieces sushi w/ roll ($17.50): 10/10 - this comes with salmon, shrimp, tuna, izumidai (tilapia), and albacore nigiri. Each nigiri was delicious, the rice of each was nicely seasoned. The fish itself tastes fresh and not overly fishy. You can choose the roll it comes with and the roll I chose was salmon cucumber which was also very tasty. The rice to fish ratio was perfect. Because it is a take out only restaurant, they give you the ginger and wasabi on the side (which I love since I hate when you bite into your roll not knowing there is a huge piece of wasabi underneath) and they give in my opinion the *best* soy sauce. It’s nicely salty and umami (not like those bad packs you usually get with takeout sushi). This small detail really elevated the experience for me!The staff working when I went were very helpful and kind. There was even a small waiting room so you didn’t have to wait in the cold. Will definitely be back and would 100% recommend to a friend!“
“Good terriayaki, constantly the same everyday! I have eaten more terriayaki than most people, I know teriyaki, and I'm just starting to share my thoughts because I have some extra time in my life. One thing you can expect from this place is constantancy in their food. The teriyaki chicken is juicy, and not rubbery meaning they know how to grill it!. The spicy chicken is cooked with love by infusioning their spicy sauce by wok and adding fresh cut onions, just by taking the time to wok it tells you they are not lazy. The other things on their menu are decent and is above the standards in Seattle's terriayaki world.Serving size is decent, and you will have a little extra if you are the average person with a appetiteThe only issue I have is price. You decide for yourself......I ordered:1 spicy chicken1 terriayaki chicken1 order gyoza2 coke bottlesCost= $46.80“
“Aoki is a small Japanese place in cap hill with lots of traditional and roll options. I got the sushi bento box which came with California roll, salmon sashimi, 3 pieces of nigiri, salad, and miso soup. The miso soup was pretty standard, the tofu pieces were a little too firm for miso soup and was a little strange but that's fine. Salad was pretty basic. They give ample sesame dressing which I love. California roll was also pretty standard. They use imitation crab and added cucumbers. Nigiri was not bad! The tuna wasn't the freshest, it tasted pretty fishy. The escolar was really good, probably my favorite of the three. The salmon was standard as well. I liked the sushi rice as well, perfectly seasoned, not too sweet or overpowering. We came for weekday dinner and maybe we just came on a bad day, but there was apparently only one chef working and our food took super long to come out. No fault to other parts of the service, the servers themselves were super welcoming and nice. Overall, not a bad Japanese place!“
“Very good and filling bento lunch from a cute yet modern hole-in-the-wall type place. Not to mention the price is very reasonable for downtown Seattle so you get your money’s worth! I’d recommend ordering ahead as it gets busy during lunch. Also they’re not messing around when it comes to their spicy katsu.“
“Our experience at Jae's Asian Bistro and Sushi was elevated by the exceptional service provided by Kyle and Zack . From the moment we were seated, his warm welcome and genuine hospitality set the tone for the evening. Kyle displayed impressive menu knowledge, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring our dining experience was memorable. His attention to detail, seamless service, and friendly demeanor made our evening truly special. If you're dining at Jae's, I highly recommend requesting Kyle or Zack for an outstanding experience.“
“Went here for lunch. I had the sushi bento (see photo) plus a special roll (Sunset is the name, it has eel). The sushi bento has tuna, yellowtail, salmon, albacore, shrimp nigiri, crispy rice with crab meat, etc. The bento itself was filling enough.It was good, the fish was fresh, the miso was flavorful but not too salty, and the portions were fair.“
“A hidden gem - Nishino boasts excellent service and such kind chefs and owners! Definitely a little expensive compared to other sushi spots in the city but I can say I’ve never had fresher fish before. Omakase was a great deal as well. Great for a special occasion or date night.“
“Went there on a Friday for a laye lunch with a group of 6. We had reserved a head of time and was able to be seated immediately. There is a mix of Japanese and Korean specials. Coworkers got bento boxes bit the bibimbap was calling my name and it didn't disappoint. Came out sizzling in the cast iron bowl which gave the rice the crunch that I love. Would definitely go back. Also, service was on it and very polite.“
“I LOVE this place! Ohana means family right!? Well then it should come as no surprise that every time I come to Ohana I run into my cousin or one of my friends that I've known for 10 plus years... So its like hanging out in my living room with the homies! But with someone else cooking! lol The food is great some Hawaiian favorites like Kahlua pork, loco moco and a few Filipino dishes like chicken adobo.The staff is friendly, the food is good, the drinks are strong what more could you ask for?Ohana is the last man standing in Belltown... Belltown used to be a vibe! We used to do the "Belltown Crawl" (Bar Hopping through the coolest spots in Belltown. COVID and other events killed off most of Belltown, but not Ohana! Ohana endures... The food is still excellent, the people are still marvelous and for 24 years now Ohana is still the heart of Belltown!!“
“Sushi Kashiba will provide you a memorable meal with the freshest fish. The chef are amazing of selecting and preparing amazing nigri sushi with wonderful hot dishes for your enjoyment. The omakasa is a must while a nice glass of sake or wine will pair well with your meal. Highly recommend and will be going back“
