Cute spot, looks closed but it's just dark! They have an extensive food menu for happy hour which I liked, I ended up getting the Chirashi Bowl. It was a big portion but the quality was alright. I didn't feel like the fish was the freshest it could have been. I do think the variety of fish in the bowl was nice, I'd probably try a different item next time I come. Staff was great - super nice and attentive. read more

Migoto - Chirashi bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I went here for happy hour which is 2:30-4:30pm - a bit hard to make if you want to enjoy the discounts for a standard meal but we had a late start in the day so it worked out well. Parking is easy with a small dedicated parking lot for the restaurant. We got a lychee martini off the regular menu and got the rest of the food on the happy hour menu - spicy crunchy California roll, deep fried spicy tuna roll, salmon skin roll, spicy garlic fried chicken, and salmon skewer with noodle. The cocktail was fairly good - I am not a fan of the small chunks of ice but I liked the presentation with the addition of the chia seed The rolls were okay. $10.99 for 5 pieces in the first round is not any cheaper than a standard roll at other places, but there were 6 pieces in the deep fried spicy tuna roll in the second round. I like the spicy crunchy California roll but there was a bit too much spicy mayo. The garlic fried chicken is basically karaage with ginger garlic sauce so cross checking the regular menu, you're not really saving any money. The salmon skewer in noodle is okay price as the portion is really small. The salmon is good. Service is good as we were the only table so we could flag down a server when needed, though sometimes they are at the back so just walking a few steps is needed to get their attention. read more

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! read more

BEST sushi I have ever had. Eel tempura roll. Service is generally decent and polite. There is an indoor area and out door patio both very cute and decorated. I will say i haven't ordered any raw fish here so can't accurately gauge that rating. Happy hour rolls for the win!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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

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. read more

Bento box is really good! Sashimi was really fresh and the karaage was yummy. It came with a really nice sauce

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Migoto - Japanese micro brew - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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? read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
