"This is a see-and-be-seen sushi spot where everyone is united—Microsoft VPs, influencers, and tourists who thought Bellevue was actually located in Seattle. And despite the fact that the luxe dining room feels like the setting of a Real Housewives episode, this 23-course omakase delivers the same kind of sushi mastery you would expect from the team behind Sushi Kashiba. Reservations are required, so plan well in advance to come here for your next big celebratory dinner. And while counter omakase is pricey and limited (they only have two seatings a day), the proximity to the chef makes for a great show. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
