    got takeout salmon rolls for dinner and we didnt wait too long! probably waited about 20mins for our food which is not too bad on a Thursday night.

    tuna and salmon nigiri

    Came here one night as my friend and I were visiting Seattle for the first time and were craving sushi. No reservations, so we were offered a high top table in the front/bar, versus waiting for a table in the back. Server came over with some complimentary edamame & got our drinks. Our drinks tasted amazing! We soon put our sushi orders in and this is where we lost it. We both ordered a roll each as well as an appetizer. Appetizer came and tasted great. Eventually my roll came to the table but not my friends. No biggie, figured it was just taking a lil longer. After 10 min of no server and no roll, we flagged him down and asked when the other roll would be coming. Turns out, someone had taken the other roll and crossed it out on the ticket. After another 10 min or so, the roll finally came but we were already planning on leaving. Took the leftovers home. Bill came and nothing was offered to make up for the long wait. I would rather spend my money elsewhere for sushi.

    Momiji isn't a sushi restaurant, it's a sushi palace. A sushi shrine with more square footage than your high school cafeteria. The table tops just keep going and going as you're eventually ushered down to where the fresh fish voyage begins. Before we could even order drinks, a beautiful surprise was brought to the table. Free edamame? This is outrageous hospitality. How did they know that I wanted this? I was prepared to pay $15 for it. I'm sure they do it for everyone, but it made me feel truly special. They have some very fun cocktails here, I ordered a Japanese-inspired old fashioned which was fantastic. We also had a clam dish as an appetizer which was unlike anything I've ever tasted at a Japanese restaurant. It was akin to an Italian style clam plate that is normally soaking in butter and garlic - but instead these little fellas were basking in miso soup with a deeply rich flavor. The sushi here is easily some of the best in Seattle. Each roll will be about $20, but they're ridiculously long bois. I was very full after splitting 3 of them. The taste of the sushi itself is off the charts. Every bite was incredibly fresh and balanced. All of the rolls that we ordered were also sitting in their own unique sauce, which accentuated the flavors of the fish even further. There are sushi restaurants that try to do wayyyy too much for each roll, and then there are sushi places that only focus on the fish itself. Momiji does a great job of finding their lane in between the two, and letting their creativity shine.

    I've enjoyed every visit. On this visit I sat at the bar. Such a great place to meet others.

    Panda Roll and 007
    Dominique A.

    ok so. THIS PLACE ROCKS and i will not be taking constructive criticism on that!! we brought friends in from out of town and honestly?? momiji was one of the highlights of their whole trip and i am NOT surprised. this place is magical from the vibe, the decor, the energy, all of it just feels so special and intentional. let's talk about the food because wow. the fish quality is absolutely incredible for the price point, which is SO reasonable (like genuinely impressive for seattle sushi). the portions are huge (in the best way), and the panda roll specifically?? i will be dreaming about it until i come back. and i WILL be coming back. also a huge shoutout because they were so attentive and accommodating to my dietary restrictions without making it a whole thing, which as someone with restrictions honestly means the world. the service was spectacular start to finish, just so warm, attentive, lovely people. if you haven't been here yet what are you even doing. this is a forever favorite. we can't wait to come back

    I was here for a late birthday dinner for my brother-in-law. I was not expecting large portions when I ordered the Nabeyaki Udon noodles, but I was not complaining. The restaurant looked to be a nice size from my viewpoint towards the front. They have a late night menu as well, and a popular dish was the garlic short ribs...highly recommend!

    California Roll and Spider Roll HH
    Katherine L.

    We brought the whole family (two adults + toddler + infant) for my birthday at 4:30pm on a Monday, and had an absolute blast. The interior is really cute, and there's a huge back dining room with a glassed-in courtyard! I really thought the entire restaurant was that front bar space, haha. We were late for our reservation (see aforementioned toddler + infant), but they were incredibly accommodating. We were able to sit in a booth with a booster, and the carseat/infant fit into the booth, which is what the host suggested. She swept the stroller away, and it just felt like such a nice touch to make sure we could enjoy our dinner with our kids without feeling like we were getting in the way. Now, the food. Delicious delicious delicious. We ordered some from HH menu, and some from dinner menu. I think the nigiri on the HH may be smaller than regular nigiri? But we still very much enjoyed the HH sushi. Complimentary edamame was nice. The chicken karaage felt a little dry, but the lemon wedge really changed and upgraded the whole experience. Our waitress was never too far, but also didn't over do it with checking in. Overall it was a really lovely dinner experience, and def recommend it!

    Veggie sushi platter
    Nandini H.

    We celebrated our anniversary dinner here . Overall nice ambience and lively atmosphere. Service was friendly and warm. They have many vegan food options which is great. I've had vegan sushi in several spots and I think the veggie roll/ sushi could use a bit more flavor and texture. Parking can be bit hard to find but we could find paid parking at a short walking distance. I would definitely recommend trying once.

    Oyster shooter

    We stopped by after the boat show, we were starving. Parking was difficult to find, we didn't mind to have to walk ten minutes. There was a group of four of us and there was no wait at all. We were seated in the middle section of the back of restaurant. There were a lot of people there but it wasn't overly loud. We started off with oyster shooters, they were so good we ordered another round. We loved the pico de gallo in it , it also had a nice little spice to it as well. We also ordered the jalapeno hamachi as well to start. The yellow tale was tender and paired with the yuzu citrus sauce , it complimented the fish well. We ordered a plethora of rolls. The capital hill, bird of paradise, pretty in pink, four kings, and two of the three devil rolls. We ate almost everything, leaving a few rolls for a snack for when we got home. My favorite was the pretty in pink. But all of the rolls were spectacular. It's been a long time since we've been to a sushi restaurant where all of the rolls were amazing. I loved how many pieces each roll came with and all the sauces were deliciously paired with each different roll. We can't wait to come back and try more rolls.

    Went for an impulsive date night and couldn't have been better! Food & drink: (5/5) Got started off with calamari and complimentary edamame. Absolutely loved the calamari. Seasoned, crispy, not too chewy, and had a salad with an addicting dressing underneath. As for sushi we got the salmon maki, yellowtail maki, madison roll, and angel roll. We tend to prefer simpler sushi so we also LOVED the maki rolls, especially because of how well they cook and season their rice. As for the specialty rolls, I chose the angel roll because of the fresh scallop while my partner chose the madison roll. Both were good but just didn't compare to the maki. I probably wouldn't get the madison roll again because I found the additions of lime and shishito peppers to be overpowering. Service: (5/5) We came maybe an hour before last call and they were still super accommodating. Not to mention that the space is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a date night.

    Spicy Rainbow Roll

    We were super excited to eat here since we've heard great things about Momiji for a while. We were seated pretty quickly with a walk-in which was nice and were put in a table in the back with the really pretty view of the garden thing outside. Only issue with the tables was that in that spot they were so close together with other parties, so it was very hard to hear the other person I was with. We first ordered drinks which definitely took a bit to put in and come around. We only had ordered a cocktail and a canned beer, which took maybe 15 minutes to come out. It then took another while for us to be able to put in our food order. We just ordered the unagi roll, the spicy rainbow, and the chicken karaage. This took a very long time to come out, so long that the server came around to ask if we wanted more food when we hadn't received our food yet. The rolls came out and at first they looked great, but later inspection and tasting just did not go well. Also, upon eating them we realized that they were kind of lukewarm and just not fresh tasting which led us to think they had been sitting out for awhile. - Unagi roll (2/5): the rice was unevenly cooked and there a very small amount of unagi actually in the roll. You couldn't taste it when eating it, just the cucumber and avocado that surrounded it. - Spicy Rainbow Roll (1/5) : The pieces were cut extremely uneven. Some pieces were unappetizingly large, while most were cut so thin it would fall apart once you picked it up. The filling was supposed to be spicy snow crab mix, but the amount of spicy mayo inside completely masked the flavor of the crab and fish on top. - Chicken karaage (2/5) : The chicken came out last and we were excited because maybe it meant it would be nice and fresh and hot. It was not. They were lukewarmish and not as crispy as typical chicken karaage I have had in the past. The pieces were also so large, it felt like I was eating a chicken tender instead. We did get a complimentary dessert since we were celebrating a birthday! We got the mochi ice cream flight which was pretty good, they came out slightly melty but they were still good. All in all we were at the restaurant for a little under 2 hours and in that time we had only ordered 3 items and 2 drinks. We were left kind of just feeling disappointed with the overall experience. Maybe we went on an off day or something but just left not feeling satisfied.

    Tried some new rolls today and overall they were pretty good. I thought the momiji roll was pretty good but I did notice it fell apart pretty easily and the knockout roll was also very tasty, not sure if they're my favorite rolls I've had there but were both really good

    Quite impressed with Momiji in Capital Hill! We were scheduled to have dinner in a nearby Italian resturant and needed to kill about 30-45 minutes. We just happened to walk by Momiji and walked into a warm and inviting space that had great atmosphere. A few spots left at the bar at 4:30pm and we sat down for a cocktail knowing we'd be leaving immediately afterward. Still, the bartender and staff were great and we really enjoyed the cocktails. I sat my AMEX on the counter and without much fuss our minds were read and had a great check out experience too. By this time, about 5pm the place was now packed during a weekday. Lesson learned get there 4-4:30pm as they don't have a lot of space. Definitely will be coming back.

    Is there a tatami seating area? If so, is the tatami areanonly for large groups?

    Hi Douglas! There is no tatami room at this location.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    Yes! They have the cutest little garden area with a Japanese maple tree that has about 4 tables. I'm sure they close it in the winter months, but I went in the beginning of October and it was perfect. Definitely have to request in a reservation.

    Is happy hour still 4-6 every day? And if so, does that include weekends? Thank you!

    It did when I was there in October! We went on a Sunday and had mostly Happy Hour.

    Do they have happy hour?

    Hi Deborah! Thanks for reaching out. We do offer happy hour throughout the restaurant between 4-6pm, and in the bar from 4-7pm. There is also a late night bar menu available 10pm-12:30am everyday. You can find these menus and hours on our website.

    Do they have Parking?

    Metered street parking only.

    Do they have a table for a party of 10+ people?

    Small place but it's possible if they rearrange the tables.

    My local friends recommended we come here for some authentic Japanese food while we were visiting…read more We texted ahead to reserve a table for 5 since it is a popular place. They don't take phone calls or reservations online - very old school. Which I think makes it more desirable. We ended up getting a special room with a "chabudai" style table! I was super excited because I've never experienced it before. What I did find pleasant was that although it was a lower table, there was an opening beneath the table that allowed your legs to hang rather than having to sit Indian style. Tyson was an amazing server. Was attentive, accommodated our allergies and was thoughtful with us having a young child. He was so pleasant and polite! We enjoyed the following: Baked miso glazed eggplant - YUM and melts in your mouth. Black Miso Cod Collar - this was pleasantly surprising and so delicious. Eat bite was tender and flavorful. Simple yet so appetizing. Sushi rolls were both fresh and well prepared. The nigiri was also great and fresh- not fishy. We additionally ordered takoyaki - which I normally don't love but this one was very tasty and I enjoyed the texture. Lastly karage chicken which came with a creamy slaw. Overall it was such a pleasant experience and we look forward to coming back!

    Seattle's oldest Japanese restaurant, Maneki is awash in history and tradition, from the Beckoning…read moreCat decor that greets you at the entry, to the private Tatami rooms where you can eat at an authentic, low-slung chabudai table, seated on cushions on the floor. Established in 1904 in the heart of Japantown, the restaurant relocated to the ground floor of the NP Hotel after its original structure was ransacked during World War II, when Seattle's Japanese community was relocated to internment camps outside the city. The hotel where Maneki now resides served as repository for family heirlooms that were left behind during that embarrassing and tragic period of American history. The joy of dining at Maneki goes well beyond the restaurant's incomparable history. The traditional Japanese menu has something for every taste, from delicious Nigiri and Maki Sushi to noodle dishes and local seafood. Pair your meal with a classic Japanese cocktail or a cold bottle of Sake, and you'll understand why this is one of Seattle's best culinary experiences. Highly recommended.

    A lively atmosphere in SLU to grab sushi, sashimi, and more. The service is prompt and attentive…read more There is a lot of seating and even good for groups. I sat at the sushi bar as it was just myself. For lunch, I opted in for the Power Lunch and it was fantastic. Served with 5 pieces of nigiri, seared salmon, miso soup, salad, edamame and more. The salad is great with the ginger dressing and the miso soup was flavorful with tofu. The nigiri was fresh and flavorful. Also got a shrimp tempura roll which was great with tempura shrimp and fresh avacado. Overall no complaints here. There are so many dishes I want to try and will be back soon for more.

    I want to clarify that I rate places based on how they compare to other similarly priced places,…read morenot necessarily compared to all other restaurants. For what this place is, I think it's great! The prices are really good considering all that you get and the quality of sushi is pretty good considering the price as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see their combos come with additional appetizers like the agadashi tofu, the salad with dressing choices, and miso soup. The chicken katsu definitely had more meat and a thinner layer of breading as an FYI. I ordered the sushi combo for 38 dollars and got great tasting sushi for that price. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you want somewhere casual with good options and little extra items mixed in with your meals. It's definitely not like Umi, or Shirros but you're also paying like 1/3 to 1/2 the price. I definitely see myself returning when I want a quick or convenient bite to eat (it's one block from my home).
