"Seattle’s oldest tiki bar, which opened in 1999, serves stiff drinks alongside a sprawling, Spam-infused Hawaiian menu. The sushi list leans opulent and gleefully nontraditional — the specials board is likely to read “stuffed,” “topped,” “fried,” and “drizzled,” all in reference to the same roll — but don’t let the flash distract from the fantastic execution. Some of the best items on this menu are the most understated, like the hamachi sashimi or the tamago (sweet egg omelet) nigiri. Despite the fancy fish work, owner Kyle “Yosh” Yoshimura, of the Yoshimura family behind historic, now-closed Seattle fishmonger Mutual Fish Company, keeps the ambiance friendly and fun with tropical tchotchkes, Christmas lights, and live Hawaiian bands." - Harry Cheadle
