    Chicken Karaage
    Oris B.

    Good food but lacking in service. The restaurant was busy and I felt overlooked by the staff throughout my visit. However, the karaage was excellent crispy and well seasoned. Also, the vibe was decent, chill music selection. Capitol Hill has great variety for karaage, and this spot holds its own despite the service issues. Worth trying during off-peak hours.

    Overall it was a good experience, I really liked the yellowtail jalapeño. The sushi was good and I liked how you order things in half sizes. I do feel like it's a little pricey for what you get but I still enjoyed

    Sushi Roll With Hamachi Jalapeño
    Justin B.

    The service alone was worth a trip back. The sushi chef made great recommendations and even let me try some samples. I wish I could give the place more stars. The ambiance made it very easy to enjoy my meal.

    1/2 roll and one full roll, can't tell what was what.

    This place had good reviews so we thought we would try it. We were in town four days and soaking up as Seattle had to offer. Anyway, asked for it to delivered and the picture shows what we got. Maybe the delivery guy, maybe not, but we went ahead and ate it. Finally found the wasabi and ginger, but there was only four pieces of ginger. The flavors were goood but more ginger and better presentation for sure. Maybe go in person and see if they do better.

    Delicious, nice atmosphere for late night dates or sport bar nights. Attentive staff and great food, although prices are way to high.

    Food was delicious !! Fish was fresh and roll options were plenty. Staff was so kind and attentive. Everything about this place was amazing. We ordered soooo much stuff and none of it was left behind. 100% recommended if you are in Seattle. Bulgogi was good, rolls and sashimi were good, appetizers were good!!

    Interesting vibe! Came for dinner around 6pm, it wasn't too busy. Sushi was good but not impressive. Spicy Rice Cake and Ramen was tasty but I think next time I'd want to come back and get more drinks with it!

    Jajang fried rice
    Katherine G.

    I think this place rebranded or changed into a different place? It's a pocha now, serving cocktails, alcohol, and korean food. We found this spot randomly while walking by and it seemed to have a nice vibe inside so we went in. The space is huge, and it's a great spot to hangout and catch up with friends. I don't remember the name of the cocktail I got, but it had a whole mango melona bar inside! The drink itself was the perfect level of strength and the ice cream made it even better. We also got the tteokkbokki and jajang fried rice for the table to share, and both were great. The tteokkbokki is really spicy so be warned, but the jajang fried rice was perfect. I can definitely see this spot becoming super popular quite soon, so be ready!

    Las Vegas roll
    Fernando C.

    Spot is great, and food was really good. The only was we waited along time for food, and one of our friends (party of 6) didn't get their food at all until we were leaving. Everything came at different times. Other than the long wait and slow service food was good, and will be back

    Tako Wasabi
    My D.

    Solid sushi spot. Super cute inside, reasonable prices, good food. Came here 6:30pm on a Wednesday and there was no wait time but it was packed when we left. Reservations are available online. We ordered: - Garlic edamame (4/5): has a thick garlic soy glaze, very savory, cooked perfectly - Tako wasabi (4/5): biggest portion I ever received, a bit spicy for those who are sensitive - Japanese ceviche (5/5): not like Mexican ceviche, but still very light and fresh - Assorted bao 3 pc (3/5): meh, not satisfying, flavors not balanced Service was good too. Would return!

Second, the amount of time I spend in your restaurant heavily depends on the speed of your service (spoiler alert: it was not fast). They then sat us at the most uncomfortable table I have ever had the displeasure of dining at. The table was low and the seats were so deep that I could not rest my back on them while eating. Definitely brought the mood down further. Food was a hit or a miss, no in between. Hit: Garlic short ribs (my partner said these were tender and a good portion for happy hour), Poke sushi roll (good fish quality and taste) Misses: First Ave Roll (sauce was just walloped on top, weak flavors), veggie and shrimp tempura (heavy and soggy batter), pink lychee cooler (artificially sweet with no strong lychee flavor), green tea tiramisu (photo speaks for itself). For all the rave reviews, I was pretty let down. Thankfully, we went during happy hour so we didn't pay full price. I would not visit here again.

Momiji was one of those and it was extremely close to the movie theater we were walking out of. Sushi sounded great so we strolled over to get some. The sushi didn't disappoint... not in the slightest! We got some specialty rolls off of that portion of the menu and they were so very good! Fresh and extremely flavorful! Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!

I am rating this as a 4 but likely would have given 3.5 if half stars were an option. We made our reservations a few weeks in advance being sat in the dining room. The three of us ordered the omakase and the food was delicious. Each piece was delectable and glorious. For food alone I'd given it a 5. Ambiance was nothing spectacular nor would set it apart from other sushi restaurants. It looked and felt like most sushi restaurants that offer omakase in the area. The service is where our dining experience, surprisingly, fell the most flat. Our waitress was a timid young woman who seemed very overwhelmed, speaking very quietly and quickly which caused us to ask her to repeat herself a few times. She had a script and if she stuck to the script she was fine but if we asked any question she wasn't prepared for, like asking about sake, she locked up. She also didn't appear to be receiving much support either. Questions regarding the sake were funneled through her to someone else who would relay the questions through her. The back and forth was enough I questioned why this person didn't come with our waitress to assist her. The explanations on the omakase dishes were given quietly or not given at all. It was just a bit atypical for omakase style restaurants in the area.

In the end, I only ordered three handroll: two salmon and one yellowtail. Their fish is tasty and their handrolls are crunchy and fresh. The yellowtail had some citrus on it, but it was not too overwhelming. Their salmon's was perfect and topped off with sesame seeds. The service was okay and the place itself was a bit vacant. It's understandable since they just finished their happy hour. I would say it's not too bad for a place located next to a touristy spot.
