"One of Seattle’s best neighborhood sushi spots is tucked away in Green Lake. Kisaku serves Japanese staples like yakisoba, udon, tempura, and grilled protein dishes (try the unaju, or barbecued eel), but the sushi here is a standout. The creative rolls can sometimes hide the extremely high quality of this restaurant’s fish; consider ordering nigiri and sashimi to truly appreciate the product. The fatty tuna, octopus, and scallop are especially good. Lunch sets start at just $10, and there are two omakase menus available, starting at $55. Service can be slow sometimes, but the food is worth it." - Sarah Engstrand
