Moontree Sushi And Tapas

Moontree Sushi and Tapas a good experience. The food was just ok, but the service was great and the vibe of the restaurant felt pretty good. Our server made the visit as she was nice and friendly. We ordered the edamame and it was overcooked. We mentioned it to our server who brought us a fresh order. The sushi was good, but not great. I think some of the flavors had an interesting mix that we weren’t ready for. I forgot the one specialty roll, but it had onions on top that took away from the other flavors. It was good, but just an interesting mix of flavors. The one we liked was the fried bites which was great. Overall, this place is in a nice location and has a good layout.

Went for Friday night dinner around 9. The place was not super busy and parking is right outside. They were pretty fast with the service. We got the nigiri combination with spicy tuna. It had some interesting combinations and the spicy tuna was pretty good. We also got negi hama roll which was nice and surprisingly small. I got the hama lava which was not super good. The sauce made the sushi soggy and to me did not complement well. I also got 2 old fashion which was nice. Service was superb and the staff were very nice.

We went there for the first time before our ballet show. The staff were really friendly, and he recommended great dishes for us especially the fish. The fish quality is superb!!! The dessert sampling plate for mochi was super good. We had a great time there. We will definitely visit it again in the future.

We were seated very quickly, and the menu selection was good. The server was kind, but he took my order incorrectly, which caused an extra wait. The donburi did not meet my expectations at all—especially for a $49 dish. It was mostly rice and didn’t look or feel worth the price. I also ordered a matcha sparkling water but was given a fruity one instead. When I asked the server to confirm, he said that was the only type they had, which was disappointing.

Very nice place with friendly and attentive staff and tasty sushi. Flexible to spicy/non spicy options. Loved how they served their dishes. The lunch for 3 cost us $113+tips. It was not very crowdy on Sunday.

One of our go-to sushi spots. I come here pretty often and it’s always solid. The owner is super kind and welcoming and the chefs are very professional. The fish quality is always on point, and everything is clean, balanced, and just done right. Whether you’re doing omakase, ordering a few pieces or even kitchen foods it never misses. The vibe is chill, comfortable, but still high quality. Easy spot to come for a date or bring friends casually for late night drinks. If you’re looking for a sushi place without breaking your bank, I highly recommend this place. I'll probably be visiting next week as well lol

It was a very busy event day with Seahawks, Mariners and concerts, but we were able to get a spot at the bar for 3, even though there were at reservation only status. The service was amazing, while the area is very small they take good advantage of everything they have to maximize space. I was pricing is incredible, I still can't believe how good of a deal it was. We got a Moontree roll, a fancy Seattle roll, some crispy rice and pork riblets. Everything tasted so fresh and was delicious. They were constantly checking on us and refilling our drinks. Absolutely a great place to stop and we will definitely go again!

My husband and I booked out this restaurant for our wedding reception party and it was thanks to Moontree (and their PHENOMENAL management, staff, and chefs) that brought our dream celebration to life. Their cozy, urban, and elegant interior made for the perfect atmosphere and I cannot say enough good things about the quality of their dishes. Everything is served with the freshest ingredients, their presentation is absolutely beautiful, and you’ll find creative twists on japanese classics with a flavor you won’t find anywhere else. Considering the elegance and quality of their dishes, their price point is a steal! The open kitchen and being able to watch the masters work their magic is an added plus! Their management and staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and the kindness and diligence we experienced with them was a quality of service that isn’t found easily elsewhere. My family and I make the trip to Seattle to frequent this place and they knock it out of the park every single time. It really is worth the trip. Whether you are looking for an elevated outing or searching for the perfect place to host your loved ones, Moontree is my answer!

I returned to Moon Tree for a pre-Kraken game dinner. We got four rolls, three types: spicy scallop, California, and salmon roll. I liked the spicy scallop more than the salmon roll. We kept it simple this time, but I remember last time we came we got some of the signature rolls and they were really great. Next time I come back I want to lean more into the signature rolls.

Went late on a Saturday night and had a great experience. It was about an hour to closing and the service was quick and food came out right away. The rolls and apps we ordered were really good. Especially loved the hamachi and how fresh it tasted. Loved the decor and appreciated the low lighting as well.

A nice spot for some happy hour fun! Service was attentive and kind. Food was good I enjoyed their selection of happy hour items and enjoyed their take on chicken karage as well. The sushi although simple, was flavorful and full of freshness! We also made sure to get a glass of plum wine and it was sweet and strong. A cute spot for a quick bite!

The service and food were outstanding. I didn't feel like reading the menu, so my server picked a roll for me. It was delicious. The fish was fresh and the presentation was lovely. 10/10

Ordered via Doordash and though it was OK. I had the Crispy Rice with spicy tuna, but the dish was drenched in a sweet-thick sauce so the items were soggy. I would recommend having it on the side as the purpose of the dish is the crispy rice with spicy tuna on top. I also ordered the Nirigi combo and felt like the quality of the fish could have been much better.

We ordered two sushi rolls and one fried chicken. Everything was so yummy! One of the best sushi restaurants I have been to. I have had a lot of fried chicken but theirs was very special! The batter was very light and airy so it doesn't fill you up immediately like other thick ones! I enjoyed it :) service was great too.

Wow. Came here for lunch. Left like we were full after dinner. All of the dishes were high quality and fresh. The service was AWESOME and paid attention to detail. And the location was a modern chic vibe, very clean and comfortable. Will come back the next time I'm in the area.

After a while at the airport due to bag issues we got to our hotel and decided to scout out where to eat. Moon tree was one of the restaurants recommended by our hotel so we decided to check it out. We were promptly greeted and seated. We stuck to the sushi side of the menu, which ended up being a good decision. Fish quality was top notch and the rolls we had were delicious. Would definitely hit this place up again when in town.

Lovely Japanese tapas we've been yearning for in the Seattle area! The Moon Tree roll was THE bomb! Everything was prepared with quality, precision and waiter was THE friendliest we've had at any Japanese tapas! We'll be back!

We went on a Friday night dinner and they do take reservations. It is a small place but has plenty of seating. Service is great and very fast. We were greeted as soon as we entered and the food was fresh and tasted good. Both the sushi we had which was the California roll and Seattle special roll were good and we also tried the gyoza. Highly recommend reserving because the place gets busy!

Sushi goodness before Matt Rife at Climate Pledge... great walking distance to the arena and bomb ass food and drinks!! Got their old-fashioned whiskey and 4 sushi rolls total. They made a wrong roll so told us to keep it on the house and made a correct one. Expensive but what's cheap anymore these days in Seattle or anywhere else for that matter, right? Not only does it have quality/great food and drinks but the service was amazing and waiter was attentive! Would def be back again! Highly recommend!

We were grateful to have found this lovely & clean Japanese restaurant within walking distance of our Seattle hotel! Not only did they have the rare negi maki entree they also had green beans & salmon sashimi over rice. My favorite was the salmon! My wife was thrilled they had the negi maki too!!! We happened to be here at lunchtime. Leopard our waiter was great. He provided relaxed & friendly restaurant service here. He just so happened to be Chinese just like my wife! LOL yes they got to chatting where their family was from in China. The food was delicious & we were very satisfied! We would return absolutely! In fact my wife may want to come here on a whim one day! awww when is that needed next Seattle trip??? It was very convenient to have the Rabbit Rabbit Tea next door too! My wife was happy! She did happen to get her unsweetened passion fruit green tea drink! She was big smiles that day. Happy wife, happy life! Aw we are truly blessed.

Delicious food and cocktails but parking was a nightmare!! Make sure you call for a reservation, even on a weekday, because this place gets busy.

Moon Tree is definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in Seattle. The quality of the fish, the freshness, the taste and speed of service is fantastic. The Fancy Seattle Roll is my absolute favorite, the sear on the salmon is perfect. I also love their crispy rice with tuna. Karaage, crispy cauliflower and gyoza are some of my favorite apps. The mango lychee martini is outstanding. It's not a huge spot but the ambiance is nice and since service is fast the wait times aren't too bad, can also make reservations. Definitely recommend, especially if going to Climate Pledge Arena.

This was the first sit-down restaurant that I tried during a recent Seattle visit. The price appears to be more expensive and portions are smaller, but the quality and cuts were good, and the fish was very fresh. I tried their chirashi lunch special and every sashimi piece hit the spot. I just wish it was bigger because I could have easily eaten 2-3 portions.... Maybe it seemed smaller because the bowl they use is enormous.

The place is great! The decor is so cute and really clean. Our server was soooooo friendly. The sushi selection is so good and unique too! Super great little spot.

Overall the fish quality was nice! I did enjoy the salmon sashimi. The rolls had many unique flavors and their tapas also incorporated many ingredients. I was a little disappointed by the price for the portions given, but I guess that was to be expected in the Seattle center area. The service was good and the servers were really attentive towards us. The inside isn't too big but didn't feel cramped or anything.

Great Japanese tapas spot! Small portions with lots of variety -- perfect for sharing. We tried a few small plates, they were delicious. The nigiri combo was amazing, with 8 different kinds of fresh, delicious fish. Everything we tried tasted great. The place is modern, not too big, with a good crowd and vibe. Service was friendly and fast. Highly recommended!

We went here before a Storm game and allotted enough time before we wanted to head to the arena. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, crispy rice, baked mussels, fancy Seattle roll, and fire dragon roll. The crispy rice and Brussels sprouts came out super quickly, around 3 minutes after we ordered! Then the others came in shortly after. We're also not slow eaters so we were in and out in 25 minutes! I liked everything but the fire dragon roll was just okay. I still wouldn't mind coming back to try their other dishes! The service was not bad either! It's a solid spot if you're in the area and looking for sushi before a game or just have sushi cravings!

Moon Tree Sushi And Tapas is probably the biggest thing I miss about Seattle. An absolutely solid sushi restaurant, I still miss their Asari Miso Soup with a passion. Moon Tree does all their rolls right, with high quality fresh ingredients 100% of the time and their tapas are mouthwateringly delicious. Seating is a bit tight and they're often very busy, but Moon Tree was our go-to after a long day and I highly recommend them both for their outstanding service and food. All in all, a definite must-eat if you're in Seattle!

I ordered the pork gyoza, Seattle Fancy Roll, and California Rolls all three were fantastic. I especially enjoyed the gyoza sauce, it had a unique flavor that complemented the gyoza perfectly. Overall, the experience was great. The service was friendly, and I appreciated that you can make a reservation through their website. They even placed a reserved sign on the table, which felt like a thoughtful, personal touch. I really enjoyed the sushi and will definitely be coming back again.

Food and service was amazing. The place is cute and clean. Loved the music too. We went at happy hour and we got all of our food very fast. We got nigiri, takoyaki, agedashi tofu, yakitori, crispy rice, and hotate. Everything was stellar but I was surprised at how much we liked the crispy rice. We would definitely come again.

3.5 Stars Solid spot for sushi. Menu had a large variety of items. A bit higher price point wise for the quality but nothing crazy. Fancy Seattle Roll was fine ($18). Nice presentation. Stylish interior. Polite Staff.

Let me start by saying the food here is pretty great. Creative dishes and quality ingredients. Where this establishment is lacking is the service. I eat at a lot of tapas restaurants. For me it's a nice way to dine as it's not easy to cook like this at home, you know 8-10 dishes. With this in mind, it's a dinning experience and the dishes should be delivered with intelligent design and coursed out. Not here, get ready to speed eat and have all the dishes hot or cold dumped on the table whenever the kitchen throws them out. Biggest richest dish came out first, what! Go ahead a torch my tastebuds. Place could be really great, but clearly management is not up to par.

Went to Moon Tree for happy hour on a Tuesday at 3 and it was empty so we got seated right away. They have a good happy hour menu! The star was the Las Vegas role which we loved and was on the HH menu. We also ordered the crispy spicy tuna roll and we were not a fan of all. It had no flavor and we didn't like it at all. We also ordered the pork riblets which we loved. The meat came off the bone but it was a bit dry, we wish there was more sauce. Overall good place for happy hour in the Queen Anne area.

Nice place for sushi. When I am traveling to the West coast, I always try and find a good local sushi restaurant hoping that they offer a selection of items that are not available on the East coast. This restaurant was just a 10 minute walk from my hotel and the pictures on Yelp looked great. When I arrived at 5pm, the restaurant was about 10% full. Since I was alone, I sat at the sushi bar. The chef was friendly and he explained what fish was in the case. It was a nice selection, with only a few West coast items. I ordered the omakase for $75 which came with an appetizer of pickled cucumber and shrimp, soup and 12 pieces chef's choice. I was kinda surprised when the 12 pieces were served all at once. It was very well prepared and very fresh. For dessert, I ordered an Aji sashimi, one of my favorites, that is had to find where I live. It was also very good. The service was very good as my glass was never empty. The beer was nice and cold. There were several other items that I viewed that looked very good. The place was 70% full when I left. I would return.

Moon tree sushi and tapas has excellent service. The waitstaff is very attentive and professional. I've had a lot of sushi from different restaurants in Seattle and I cannot say that this was top three. I do not recommend the oyster with the, I forget the name of what is on top of it but check out my pictures. It's that tongue like stuff, that sea urchin. That's what it is. I don't recommend. Great location and excellent drinks though.

Super nice host - she was amazing to get us in!! Food and service so so good from the appetizers to the sushi!! Totally recommend!!

Phenomenal! I've been wanting to try this place for a while now, and now I know why. we stopped in here for dinner before Cirque du Soleil and were pleased that there was no wait. Fast forward 10 minutes and there was a line down the sidewalk. Pro tip: get here early! This was the perfect combo date spot for me (who loves all things sushi) and my dude (who doesn't like raw fish). I was able to satisfy my cravings, including a fresher-than-fresh order of hamachi nigiri, a plate of their crispy rice topped with spicy tuna, and a sea bream special with a delightful, citrusy sauce. My date ordered some delicious, crispy fried green beans and chicken yakitori. We loved that everything came in small, tapas-style portions so we could share. I also enjoyed a hot sake, and the dude lived that they had Bodhi on tap. The service was also very fast (my food arrived faster than Taco Bell - not even kidding)! And the ambiance was casual, but still nice enough for a date night. It was also only about a 2 minute walk to the Climate Pledge Arena so we didn't even have to move the car.

My wife ordered Asari miso soup and I got the regular miso soup. The only difference is that her soup had clam and mine didn't. I wasn't really feeling the soup but my wife enjoyed her soup. We had 3 different roles, the Fancy Seattle, super moon and fire dragon and I will say that I was impressed with their rolls. The only disappointment is that they don't have much option for tempura rolls, and give you a tiny bit of wasabi. Other than that everything was amazing. The service was great, they were attentive and helpful. The ambiance was great and we enjoyed it as it made us feel at home.

Pretty good find! I found this place by walking around the hotel I was staying at. I just so happened to stumble on their sign advertising their omakase. When I went into the restaurant, it looked a lot smaller on the outside than it was on the inside. I ordered the omakase and for the price I paid, it was pretty good. I do wish that they replaced the California roll with something else. But the other nigiri pieces were really good.

What a find! We don't come to the city often but when we do we love to try new places and this place hit the spot! I was so impressed with their customer service, quality of food, and the ambiance inside! My favorites were the crispy rice and the salmon tempura. Our rolls were also delicious - i highly recommend this place if you haven't already tried it!

First time visiting this restaurant. Great location-close to seattle center. Ordered Tuna poke bowl ( there is also an option for salmon). The flavor, rice , cucumber and seaweed was great. Tuna was fresh but very small cubes and totally amount was small. Was quite disappointed with the sashimi salad. Salad and dressing was okay. But there were only 5 pieces of fish and not the best quality. Would not ordered this again. Miso soup came with both entree and was flavorful. Service was decent. The restaurant was a little dark for lunch despite the windows. Tables are quite close to each other. Maybe be loud if it is completely full.

first time to moontree after being brought here by my girlfriend! the ambiance was cozy, the service was good and the food waa great! had to vlog about it on tiktok!

My husband and I were staying in a nearby hotel and walked over for what turned out to be the best meal of our trip to Seattle. We had the coziest lunch on a rainy afternoon, it feels like such a nice neighborhood spot. The crispy rice nigiri alone is worth the trip. The menu has a roll for everyone without being overwhelming.

Stopped in for some late dinner with my cousin. Great stand the sushi was great. Not from Seattle, so we relied on yelp reviews, and they didn't disappoint. Great meal!

Good service. Dim warm lighting. Small intimate space perfect for dates or if you're feeling like you wanna treat yourself or whoever you go with. Not your average sushi that's for sure. There are some classic flavors as well as some more unique ones. The crispy rice is tasty. All the dishes we tried were nuanced and had a good balance of bold and delicate flavors. Really really tasty. Will be coming back.

Amazing food, amazing service. We ordered an assortment of rolls, halibut, salmon tempura, sashimi. All were amazing. I'd only skip the akataka roll (it was underwhelming, despite the price). Will visit again.

Great spot! Went on a Monday afternoon and nearly empty. The space feels good for a date night. Highly recommend the Hama Lava! Citrusy with a red miso sauce and a nice crunch with the fired onions. Services was great and very accommodating.

Me and my girlfriend frequent this place and have yet to be disappointed. Amazing service, great food, and reasonable prices. Not much more you can ask for from a restaurant. The music is always on point too

The sushi was very delicious and so amazing quality. They have excellent flavor and well-prepared too. The rolls were so good and very amazing. Well-presented too. The server was absolutely incredible and attentive. The restaurant was decent and has great ambiance. The nice setting was fantastic. Perfect spot for dates!

Seattle-worthy sushi for sure! Takeaway: the fish was excellent quality, but the sear felt inconsistent throughout the rolls, so some pieces were tastier than others. We got the Fancy Seattle roll, Lobster roll, and vegetable tempura. Both did a great job using flavorful sauces and butter (in the case of the lobster) without overpowering the innate flavor of the fish. The salmon in the Fancy Seattle roll was great quality, but weirdly enough, the pieces on right side tasted super smokey while the left-side pieces were imo closer to perfect. Similar story with the lobster; some pieces were perfectly tender, while others felt chewier. Both tasted great, but I liked the lobster one a bit less; to be nitpicky, it felt like eating lobster pieces alongside a California roll, instead of one cohesive flavor experience. All that said, I was in a silly food critic mood when I was there. If you're just looking for a place to enjoy sushi, you'll like Moontree!! But if you're willing to travel a bit farther to cap hill, I still hold that Momiji is my favorite sushi spot in Seattle so far.

We were blown away by Moon Tree Sushi and Tapas. We were very hungry when we came in to order so we were very happy that everything came so quickly. It was a warm day and were eating fish so had a glass of cool Chardonnay for $9. It was perfect. My wife had the Sapporo and enjoyed it. We ordered the Salman Tempura bowl, the Jalapeño Hamachi, the pan seared sea scallop, Hama Lava Roll, Fire Dragon Roll and a Moontree roll between my wife, son and I. They were all delicious! But still a little hungry, we repeat ordered our three favorites: Jalapeño Hamachi, Salman Tempura and the Moontree roll. The scallop was great too, it's just expensive for so little a bite: it was oh so yummy though. My very favorite was the Jalapeño Hamachi; it was screaming good! We all three hailed it the favorite. Service was great. Always friendly always eager to serve and a little humorous. They kept the water flowing; I did say it was a hot day, so we appreciated the water. We were in Seattle four days and had a lot of great food, but Moon Tree topped our list. Next time we're in Seattle, we are there! Note: You will spend over $200 for three people easy, but it's oh so worth it. Just a heads up.

came here as it was really conveniently located for a concert i was going to at climate pledge. the restaurant was bustling, so i had high hopes. i was actually a bit disappointed in what my table ordered. the crispy rice seemed a bit stale, and didn't have that crunch factor im typically anticipating. another one of our specialty rolls was actually wrapped in radish/daikon instead of rice which i was not expecting at all. it was great to try, but i probably wouldn't come back again.

We loved this place! We shared 2 rolls and the spicy edamame. The service was great and fast. It was the perfect early dinner for us near our hotel. The vibe was cozy as well.

Delicious sushi, quick service, friendly staff, good vibes inside! We went at 4pm on a weekday and was in and out within the hour. The service was quick and very friendly! We got 3 different roles and all were very fresh and delicious. Menu had a few staples and a few unique rolls - definitely missing a couple staples I would've loved to see but good variety!!

A cute spot for sushi tucked into the heart of Queen Anne -- it's located super close to Seattle Center, and we stopped by for a late weekday dinner. The staff was really friendly and attentive and the food came out super quickly -- we stuck to sushi this time, but would love to try the tapas in the future. We got crispy rice and three rolls to share and that was PLENTY filing -- my personal favorite was the Lobster Roll! It was so unique and tasty, and I can't say I've ever tried a lobster sushi before. In general, the rolls felt a bit heavy on the rice side and one of them had a bit too much sauce for my taste BUT the fish itself tasted fresh. I'll definitely be back to try more rolls!

My first time today. Excellent friendly service and the sushi was great! Fresh and large pieces of Nirgiri. The Clam Miso was incredible!! AAAAAA++++++

What a gem of a place! The ambiance was soothing yet fun, the service was attentive and friendly, but most importantly, great Japanese bites and drinks! What a nice menu of Japanese small dishes, not just your standard appetizer fare like takoyaki and agadashi tofu, but a truly nice and broad selection of unique vegetable, seafood, and meat dishes. I've not seen ribeye negimaki at typical Japanese restaurants in town, so I knew this place was the real deal. Even their signature rolls were different from what I've seen in most Japanese restaurants in Seattle. Their sashimi (true test of fish quality) was clean, fresh, and had good mouth feel and flavor. We hardly come into the city anymore now that we've migrated to the burbs, but we will make excuses to come back here again. Moon Tree joins Kokkaku in Wallingford at the top of my Japanese food fave list in Seattle. Yum!
