The Best Japanese Restaurants In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"For grilled, deep-fried, and skewered things, Issian should be your first choice. They serve excellent kushiyaki, including minced chicken and sizzling pork belly sticks, alongside snacks like shumai and a decent sushi selection. Vegetarians have a lot to like about Issian, too, with terrific tofu, eggplant, and natto. When the night calls for a tornado of tasty plates to hit the table on repeat (or alternatively, a massive hunk of broiled salmon belly), we can't think of much better in Wallingford for a group meal." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
