"This West Seattle sushi spot works for a cool, relaxed retreat after an Alki beach day. They do the basics well thanks to a light touch with seasonings, and it’s a great option if you want a choose-your-own-adventure omakase or just a few expertly-crafted sushi rolls a la carte. We like sidling up to the bar for the seven-course Sushi-Ya omakase that has a steady pace but doesn’t feel rushed, highlighted by melt-in-your-mouth nigiri. The reliable AC is just a bonus." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"This sushi joint in West Seattle is as West Seattle as it gets—shaggy, but still kind of fancy. Most importantly, the seafood is top notch and there’s a range of experiences (including seven different omakases) you don’t often find around town. The relaxed dining room with a large aquarium is good for couples sharing rolls and sake, or the occasional family that wants an upgrade from Ivar’s. We like sidling up to the bar for the seven-course Sushi-Ya omakase that has a steady pace, highlighted by melt-in-your-mouth nigiri. And at $65 per person, the Maki omakase provides solid value. Like paddleboarding or your first Wordle try, deciding exactly how to do Mashiko can be a little overwhelming at first, but it’s also half the fun." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

"Sustainable sushi is at the core of this West Seattle spot. Although founding chef Hajime Sato stepped away from the restaurant in 2019, he left it in good hands, with a staff that carries on the ethos of carefully sourced fish, emphasizing traceability and responsible farming practices. The seasonal menu offers a top-notch selection of sushi, sashimi, and nigiri, with sometimes unconventional offerings like boar." - Harry Cheadle

And at $65 per person, the Maki omakase is a great value with 12 terrific pieces of sushi alongside a filling entree and other goodies." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
