Migoto

This place was incredible! I soon as I walked in I was greeted with smiling faces. Seated at the bar immediately. Engaged in some friendly conversation with the staff. I pre studied the menu and ordered immediately. Had a beer in 1 minute and food within 15 minutes of walking in the door. The sushi A combo is a winner! Spider roll was stellar, the fish was very fresh and the technique was top teir! Honestly really enjoyed the experience and wished I lived in the area so I could visit regularly

We were looking for a little snack, before heading back to our Airbnb and this place was it! Great vibes, everyone there seemed to be having a good time. Service, great. Food, so yummy. Fish seemed fresh to me and had great flavor. My SO isn’t big on sushi but he loved it.

This is my 2nd time here, dare I say it is the best chirashi bow I've had! Granted I haven't had much, but I will definitely be back.

Service was great! I came during the dinner rush and was still warmly greeted by the hostess even though she was juggling phone orders, and I only had to wait about 10 min for my food. Unfortunately, I can't praise the food the same way 😔 I got the King Midas roll and Samurai roll, and both rolls were pretty average. King Midas: The salmon was a bit too tough and firm for my liking and it didn't have a prominent flavor. I thought the filling would be real crab meat, but it was imitation. Samurai: The soft shell crab was pretty mediocre, not much flavor here either. Both rolls fell apart way too easily, and some of the pieces were lacking in filling. The prices are about average for this area, but the quality didn't quite match the price.

Good food. I loved the cucumber lemonade 💚 very kind calming atmosphere.

Oh wow, this restaurant is just amazing! Great food and excellent service. Aside from that, They have humungous serving, Tina is wonderful, each and every team member is just lovely. We are just about to leave but we were surprised we were given a free dessert! We will definetely go back!

Oh my goodness so delicious!! I ordered the paradise roll and I am in paradise. The fish is fresh and buttery and the sushi rice is perfect. I also ordered the lion roll and the garlic ponzu sauce is very tasty. Also the employees here are so sweet. Both the person I spoke to on the phone and the delivery driver were kind and friendly. Plus it’s free delivery if you call them directly! And I will be calling again 😋

Based on the reviews we decided to pop in here tonight. The service was amazing. Genuinely so kind. Great recommendations for food and great spot with my 2 kids. The food speaks for itself. Think this’ll be our new local spot! Thank you for a great time! 🙏🏼

The sushi was tasty and they prepared it pretty quickly for a walk in take out order. The menu is pretty large and diverse for sushi options too! They also have a vegetarian section. The hostess was very kind and kept me updated on my order status and offered water while I waited. There's a decent sized dinning room and it's got a classy and classic sushi house vibe. Would definitely come back to use the coupon they gave me too!

This review is for takeout! Super fresh fish, everything was so tasty! Located near the First Hill Swedish hospital, my husband walked over to grab some sushi after I gave birth! After a long 9 months of no raw fish, this was a delicious reward. I got the nigiri sushi combo and a side of scallop nigiri. The fish was fresh and rolls were tasty. Came with miso soup as well. Overall, would get sushi from this spot again!

Food was enjoyable. A tiny bit pricey, $62 for one appetizer and two meals. I suppose that's the reality we live in! Interesting that while we were there was a bridal party eating as well, seems like a popular place for locals that are so enjoyable you'll eat there for your bridal party! Service was kind and quick. Didn't wait long for our food. Not sure if there was a back but there were only about 5-8 tables in the restaurant.

Don't sleep on Migoto! The sushi is exquisite & the staff is friendly & knowledgeable. 5/5 stars!*****

Cute little place in cap hill. It was alright. There's a decent amount of selection to choose from and the staff were nice as well. The rock fish dish was a bit salty for my preference. Not my favorite. The poke don was ok too. The fish was ok, I believe I have had fresher fish. There were a lot of flies around where I was sitting so it was a bit of waving the flies away. The prices are ok, maybe a bit high for what the quality is. I'm not entirely wowed by it but the people were friendly.

Very nice Japanese restaurant located very close to Ba Bar and also Seattle U - excellent Japanese cuisine, great service and roomier interior. Recommended and check it out!

I had a recent Japanese food gap in my life and the sushi tonight hit the spot so perfectly. The portions here are respectable from the rolls to the appetizer agadashi tofu. We got a special dragon roll and a torched crab roll and were absolutely blown away with how fresh and smoky the fish was. The big surprise at the end was a small coffee flan. That sweet complimentary treat was a great ending to a delicious meal.

The food and drinks were great, it's a very welcoming environment, and Khoi was the best server- so attentive and quick! I'm not a sushi fan, but they had so many other options to choose from. Khoi was so friendly and kind. The food on its own was amazing, but the service was the cherry on top that will keep us coming back.

Great menu with awesome udon and chirashi bowls. The bento lunch specials are also generous. In the summer there is a cute little patio out back to dine in.

The chirashi I had was tasty and the lemonade (can't exactly remember the name) was refreshing, and the staff was very friendly. Good for individual seating and groups.

beautiful spot for a sunny day and really amazing service, their beef short ribs were amazing-- will be back soon for dessert!

This is easily my new go to sushi place. I received just about the best service I've ever seen in my life here and the food was just as good. It was a fun little hidden gem I never would have found until I picked it off of maps and I'll never regret it!

Cute little spot with clean quiet ambience. Came with a group of 5 and was sat immediately. The menu has an almost overwhelming amount of options. The sushi roll prices are comparable to other sushi places and quality was good. The manager or owner gave us all free samples of coffee flan they made in house

SOOOOOO good! Stylish, cozy but also date-worthy interior spot with great sushi. We got sake ($15) as well as a few plates of sushi. -Sushi Combo A ($31): 9 pieces of nigiri and a spider roll -Negihama Roll ($10): Yellowtail and Scallions -Can't remember what the third roll was but it was also great Everything was wonderfully plated, super fresh, and tasted amazing. Also the owner is so nice!!! He gave us complimentary miso soup as well as a slice of cheesecake as they were testing out a new recipe.

Service was so nice! The lady taking our order was the sweetest!! The food was also soo good and tasted so fresh! I got the migoto roll and it was one of the tastiest rolls I've ever had!

Your local hole in the wall ~ a bit confined seating, for a new spot the house-like decor giving off a late 90s vibe. Expensive for everyday sushi. Extensive menu like a diner, almost too much. Rice texture was just ok. Oddly slow and inattentive service and food unexpedited for being the only table. Again, expensive.

I really wanted to love this place... but honestly it was not great. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing- some places are better when you order their signature plates. They had several raw fish and other specialities. We ordered seaweed salad, dragon roll, crunchy crab roll and classic California roll. The total was $85 and in opinion, the rolls were very mediocre. Not very fresh and not the best quality. Very disappointing.

So many amazing sushi spots in Seattle and now I need to add this one to the list. Good thing about this spot is there's something for all types of sushi lovers. From seared, to tempura, to veggie and sashimi, the menu has it all. Our favorite rolls were the royal dragon roll and the fire crab roll. Great spot for groups, lots of space and nice look and feel.

The chef and the waitress were friendly. The interior was nice and cozy, the 3D cherry blossom painting and wood decor was nice to look at. The food was yummy and fresh. The miso soup was savory and warm just great for the fall weather. The omakase was a great choice, with many flavors and fresh fish.

This is a small spot with a parking lot! The service was great with lots of attentiveness, friendliness and a neighborhood vibe. The food was awesome. Very good portions of the fish, very tasty, wasn't a morsel left at the end. Gyoza were also yummy, pan fried with a great sauce. The shrimp tempura was made to order and delicious. Highly recommend.

Food was good but was 38$ for 10 pieces of sushi... be so fr. It was weirdly big, but not big enough for that price.

Average for all nothing to write home about. Food and services are average and ambiance slightly below average about 2 stars

What a hidden gem!! This place has it all! Fresh delicious sushi great customer service and the make all of their desserts homemade. Our favorite roll was the hula. We will definitely be back when we are in town next.

First time in Seattle, The food and service was incredible and our server ended our night with a free flan for our 1st time in Seattle! they were all very sweet and attentive! 10/10 recommended (:

This place really impressed me, great sushi, ambiance (love the outdoor seating) and service. Affordable and friendly place with amazing Japanese micro brews. Will definitely be back!

TLDR: Great Staff, Great ambiance, AMAZING food! I recently had a wonderful dining experience at Migoto in Seattle and I wholeheartedly recommend it. As out-of-state visitors, we were eager to try some quality sushi in the city known for its fish. After searching for sushi places near our Airbnb that were open around 7:30pm and didn't break the bank, we stumbled upon Migoto. Initially, I hesitated due to the slightly higher prices for basic rolls, but I am SOO glad we decided to give it a try. Parking in Seattle sucks, so when we got there and saw that Migoto has a small private lot for its customers, that already made the slightly higher prices worthwhile! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and helpful. We were seated on the back patio, which had a pleasant cozy ambiance even the small flowers on the table were real. While we originally came for basic rolls, I was pleasantly surprised to find omakase on the menu starting at $60. I had always wanted to try omakase, so I inquired about it with our waiter, Khoi. He patiently explained how it worked: you inform the waiter of your budget and preference for nigiri or sashimi, and the chef takes care of the rest. If you start with the $60 price point but decide you are still hungry later on they can also just add more later on! To accompany our meal, I ordered the lychee martini, which was delicious. It had real lychee and the alcohol flavor wasn't too strong. Now, let's talk about the highlight: the fish. The quality was impressive. Each piece melted in your mouth with a smooth texture. Even my boyfriend, who isn't a normally a fan of nigiri, enjoyed the fish here. The only qualm I had with the experience, is that I wish they went over what kinda of fish the chef used that day for the omakase. Everything in the omakase was delicious but sadly I also didn't know what kind of fish I was eating. As for the rolls, the prices for the basic rolls ended up actually being cheaper than the photo we saw on Yelp! It must've been an old photo we saw. Anyways, we tried the spicy tuna and Pacific rolls. The jalapeño added a nice subtle kick, and the garlic ponzu was refreshing. The staff remained attentive throughout our visit, checking on us regularly and providing friendly service. I also appreciate how the staff were able to make last minute accommodations for my birthday. My boyfriend asked the staff if they do anything for birthday celebrations while I was away from the table and the waiter, Khoi, said he would make it happen. Khoi did not disappoint! He came out with a slice of cranberry cheesecake and even a birthday candle! It was a thoughtful touch that made me feel special as a customer. Overall, Migoto is a fantastic sushi restaurant in Seattle. The fish quality, friendly staff, private parking, and the opportunity to try omakase make it worth a visit. I genuinely recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable sushi experience.

Creative and large sushi menu. Staff are friendly and professional. My go to spot for sushi in the area.

I had various sushi and sashimi offerings at migoto before but I was pleasantly surprised to try their chirashi. The quality of fish is right about what you'd expect and I really enjoy the danmuji and flavor of the tamago. I love that they have an outdoor patio and the chirashi comes with miso soup. Bottom line is if you're in the area and craving a bowl of sashimi, check out migoto! You won't regret it. The service here is also amazing and they make you feel welcome even if you're lingering after your meal.

Have been coming here since they opened and I was lucky enough to work across the street. NICEST PEOPLE ever -- STUNNING, DELICIOUS food, reasonably priced. Absolutely the highest quality for the most reasonable prices; my one and only Sushi "go-to" in Seattle!

Migoto is on 12th Avenue in the Seattle University area. A relatively newer Japanese restaurant in the area, they offer patio seating and their menu has a wide assortment of hot foods, sushi rolls, and sushi. We chose hot foods this time but will return for the sushi rolls in the future. They look very pretty! Food: - Kalbi dinner, served with miso soup - Seafood Yakisoba, served with miso soup Both dishes were tasty with good portions. With extra veggies added during re-heating, the yakisoba dish became a generous 2 days meal. The flavor is standard, good though not outstanding. The shrimps in the seafood yakisoba were already overcooked even before re-heating, quite a bit too dry. The strips of octopus were an unusual surprise, well seasoned and flavorful. No parking lot, street parking only, which is plentiful these days. The front staff was perfectly nice; she brought our food to us in the car.

The albacore sashimi melts in your mouth. The beef & ribs udon had this amazing balance of flavor and less of the fat. The meat fell off the bone. Dipped in some soy sauce and I'm ready to go to Heaven. The customer service was so kind and generous. They gave us unexpected desert. We loved their cute outdoor space. It's like a hidden gem. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place.

Once again amazing spot. Highly recommend. Friendly staff. Great service, food was great, peaceful relaxing ambiance.

A year later, my meal was disappointing. Grilled fish was dry, tempura wasn't hot and they served shrimp when I asked for all veggies, salmon sashimi was good but tuna wasn't as fresh, spicy tuna rolls were tasty. Salad was drenched in dressing. All in all meh. Too bad as mg prior experience was much better.

It's a tiny cute little spot next to the university. It's easy to overlook since it's so small but it is a hidden gem. My family came to visit me and we just randomly stumbled upon this place. We were starving so we ended up ordering a bunch of different dishes and just sharing it all. It's not the most top level sushi I've ever had but for the price and taste it's pretty good. The waitress was super sweet and gave us a $10 off coupon for literally no reason other than to convince us to come back. Well it worked because we're going back tomorrow LOL.

How did this place get high reviews... I'm sorry, I heard a couple of good things here but I Ordered something to go and just had a terrible experience. We waited for 45 mins for our pick up order when she said it would only take 20 mins. And I was quite disappointed with the food. Bento box :katsu was dry and hard.. spicy tuna roll was messy and mushy. And sashimi the tuna tasted low key fake. Only thing good was the salmon sashimi and the tempura. Takoyaki was not bad, not the best I've had. Expensive for just 4 pieces. And can't go wrong with gyozas. Prob not freshly made?

Delicious food and amazing service! I ordered the sushi and it was amazing. The employees were so nice and friendly.

Finding this place was not hard but note that parking is street parking only. Service was attentive. Everyone was just very kind. They swing by our table often to make sure we are taken cared of and have enough water. We've ordered three types of sushi rolls. I forgot their names... I notice their rolls has more rice to fish ratio than I prefer. On a positive note, their sushi roll prices are reasonable. This place does offer happy hour if you wish to try.

Tasty Japanese food including options for the vegetarian spouse (a very interesting and tantalizingly spicy tofu dish in tomato sauce, and a veggie tempura sushi with cream cheese, plus a lovely miso soup with little mushrooms in it) and an amazing starter they had as a special of buttery albacore with seared crispy edges served in a piquant little salsa that I believe they said is called tataki. I also had the tasty crunchy roll sushi, and a refreshing sunomono. We appreciated this place being open for our late lunch/very early dinner and that there was the convenience of a dedicated parking lot. It was a pit stop for us en route from Portland back home to the San Juans but we plan to visit again when we're actually visiting Seattle, particularly if we have other places to go in the same neighborhood.

Very nice place. I enjoyed that it had free parking in the middle if the city. It was great. Host/server was very friendly and was insightful when coming up with recommendations. They have a pretty large rolls menu. Fish was fresh and flavors were also good. It is a nice place to pick up lunch or weekday sushi dinners. Place felt cozy and lots of fun interactions happening around.

Food and service were both mediocre. I ordered the lion roll. The size of the roll was larger than usual and it wasn't tightly wrapped so almost every roll collapsed as I dipped in wasabi+soy sauce mix and tried to eat. Service was slow despite being few customers. But the seafood was fresh! If they make the rolls smaller or wrap them tighter it may be easier to eat them.

I came in here on a Tuesday afternoon. I was seated right away. The decor inside was Japanese-themed, which made me feel like I was at an authentic Japanese restaurant. I ordered chicken karaage, gyoza, Sashimi dinner A, tonkotsu ramen, and BBQ beef short ribs. The chicken karaage was probably my least favorite dish. I would have liked a bit more crunch to it. The gyoza was excellent, and tasted great! The sashimi was very fresh and melted in my mouth. Adding a bit of wasabi and soy sauce really elevated the fish's flavor. The wasabi gave me that burning nostril sensation, which is exactly what I was looking for! The tonkotsu ramen's broth was light but rich in flavor. It's so much better than many other ramen broths I've had! I absolutely loved this dish. The BBQ beef short ribs were on another level as well. Very tasty and I was sad when I had eaten them all! I'm definitely telling people to come try this spot out.

Late night Sushi/Sashimi in Seattle with my Son, what's open at 8:30? miGoTO!!! Glad we found it and they have their own parking too which is nice in an around DT Seattle. Nina was awesome of great servitude! Very respectful and showed us to the back patio and it was nice to enjoy the warm nights in Seattle. We told her we want Sashimi and what we liked and how awesome is it when you get everything that you want and more. Toro and the Toro Belly and Salmon of different cuts from the belly and King too. We were surprised with a complementary poke of the same pieces with our Sashimi, so satisfying having a preview of what's to come. Then when we were done with all the sashimi and we had left overs they gave us complimentary cheesecake and it was delicious with cherries on top and within. Super satisfied and we will be back for more. Nice spot in a super convenient location.

This was my first time here and with my darling brother and the one and only Tots. Came in just for drinks tho before our big dinner somewhere else. We were seated right away by the bar. There is no Vaccines cards requirement yet at this time. (We are all vaccinated.) Anyway, we had a large hot sake, Sapporo beers and some cocktails. I also had to try their Agedashi tofu. The tofu number is perfect. Umami flavor is spot on. Everything hit the spot and I was happy! Servers are super attentive and are genuinely nice. Good vibes! I highly recommend this place.

Super cute sushi spot with an adorable patio. FRESH fish. We got the sake sampler, king salmon and yellow tail sashimi and samari and lion roll. Great service also. Highly recommend!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first looked Migoto up: the recent Yelp reviews were good, but my friends who lived nearby said they'd tried it a few years ago and thought it was "sub-par." The menu has standard Japanese fair (donburi, assorted nigiri and sushi rolls) but the prices seemed higher than average. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a small, casual diner or a fancy sushi bar. Luckily, it was right in the middle. And the food was good! The interior is small but has a surprisingly good amount of tables (around 10) and a sushi bar. It it has the feeling of moody bar, dimly lit and decorated with tall birch branches lit by white fairy lights, blue green and red LEDs, walnut wood with black accents. They were playing groovy instrumental music too. However, despite the modern bar atmosphere, it still felt casual enough, and not too intimidating for me to walk in with my plain t-shirt and jeans. It wasn't crowded on a Sunday night and there was a good mix of a middle aged group, a couple of drag queens, a few couples, and me, Japanese girl stuffing my face at the bar. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, and the sushi chef was having a lively discussion with the couple seated at the bar. I ordered: - Yuzu Classic (shochu & yuzu cocktail) - Chirashi (rice bowl with assorted raw fish) - Uni nigiri ($12 seasonal) One note: The chirashi bowl was delicious, the fish was very fresh, and the tilted bowl made for a beautiful presentation. However, the slanted bowl made it a bit difficult to eat with the constant risk of accidentally pushing the food out onto the counter, so I would consider changing the serving dish. I didn't try any of the cooked, fried, or donburi options, so I have no opinion on those. But I really enjoyed the things I ordered and it was the perfect treat for me to end a very stressful week! Overall, this is a great spot for a nice date or classy dinner with friends. It is pricy but the sushi is good.

I hardly go to Seattle but I had to work out here today. Craving sushi, I found this on Yelp and had great reviews so I went for it. This place is small and has a great ambiance. There is some outside seating. I opted to sit at the sushi bar. They have lunch specials until 2:30, but I ordered off the regular menu. I got a Midas Roll. So good! Super fresh, and a good size roll. The hostess/waitress was very nice and made sure to check in with me here and there. It was 2:30 when I got here and I there was only once customer. It's very clean inside and the sushi chef was also very friendly. Prices are around $20 a roll on average. Go check it out!

Migoto is a great sushi place near Seattle University. I was here for lunch and ordered the sashimi lunch dish. It may have been because it was lunch and they were crowded, but service was kind of slow. The miso soup was kind of slow to arrive, but the sashimi bowl showed up a short time later. The sashimi bowl itself was excellent and looked good. It had a great mix of seafood and vegetables on a bed of rice. It was a pretty generous portion and I loved the salmon and tuna the most.

If this review was purely based on sushi, sashimi, and nigiri then it would be a 4. Unfortunately, the service is -1 star and maybe it is because it is newer and they are working out all the kinks but that is the experience we had. Very easy to make reservations even with a party of 7. The table we were placed out was half chairs and the other side a church pew? Sinks in and is not very comfy for an extended amount of time. The menu has tons of options for food and drinks. Placing an order wasn't hard and when you waved someone over for something more, they were very attentive. Unfortunately it took over an hour, close to 2 to get our food. I wouldn't say we ordered hella food either. Most people with 1 dish and 1 drink. The kitchen was very slow. The cooked food came out like 30 minutes after the sushi which we had already waited an hour and a half for and it was when everyone else at the table was done eating. The tempura was over fried and had a very thick breading, would not recommend. The Donburi was lacking flavor and hardly eaten, also would not recommend. The only thing I would recommend here was the sushi. Seemed fresh and high quality. Enjoyed all the sushi and would come here again just for that. The prices weren't absurdly high either. It was also irritating to watch all the other tables in the restaurant get their food at the same time even though they had arrived 30 to an hour after us. Some with the same size party. When it came time to pay, it was easy to ask for the check. It was just more waiting for it actually to get to the table, enough waiting to the point where we got up to pay at the front. The experience there made it even more ridiculous. The waitress furiously swiped our credit cards multiple times trying to get their register to read the credit cards. The first person had to read out all her credit card information to get it to go through. The second, third and fourth luckily took after several attempts and 15 more minutes of waiting.

How do you go wrong with sushi? ... Rhetorical question, you can't (usually). Though I try my best to base my reviews solely on the food it should definitely be noted that service is a little slow and space is quite small. Probably because it IS a new restaurant and they have yet to gauge the flow of customers coming in. Probably not the best for large groups or parties ordering a large amount of food throughout the night. Workers were very kind to me and my group so we didn't mind. Bento box (and your choice of protein - I asked for sashimi) was incredibly filling. Fish was so fresh and salmon (my fav) was incredibly buttery. Came with a side of 4 California rolls, very crispy tempura, salad and rice. Plenty of food! Delicious. Fried oysters were crispy and interesting.. probably not the best way I like to enjoy my oysters but that's a personal preference. They did it well. Didn't order many sushi rolls but the mango tango roll was very enjoyable and we will most likely be back to try other rolls. Overall, good experience and good food, can't complain. They also had a (relatively small) parking lot, and for someone who refuses to be invited anywhere with complicated parking, I really really appreciate that.
