Amazing service and amazing food. Great staff and awesome location! If you stop by Seattle make sure to visit OHANAS. BEST PLACE TO DANCE TOO AND DRINK. HAHA read more

I still give it a 4 star for my food but I want to give it 3 for the burger my bf got. The meat was way undercooked. Pineapple went well with the onion and tomato though. My meat skewer was yummy. And my martini was good. Strawberry and guava. Good service. Friendly. read more

Ohana Belltown - $5 drinks at happy hour at Ohana - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I received many recommendations to visit Ohana while I was visiting Seattle. I took the advice and stopped in Memorial Day Monday for a quick bite after I'd just downed a dozen oysters, shrimp fritters, and a glass of chardonnay at Elliot's on the pier. I was doing a solo food crawl and had visited this spot for dinner the night before, but I arrive too late as their kitchen had just closed. I was happy they were open for the holiday. I was seated shortly after I entered the restaurant. I told the waiter if I could please sit by an outlet as my phone had died and I was going to need to order an uber and check into my flight. He was kind enough to seat me at a table near the bar that had a power strip. =] I ordered a spicy salmon hand roll and the Ohana poke. Both were very fresh and the fish was the star of the dish. I devoured the hand roll in probably 3 bites. And the poke I added a little more chili flakes and tossed it, it was great. I struggled to finish it but it got done no fish left behind. I would definitely come back and visit next time I am in town! read more

Great happy hour! My fave sushi spot in downtown Seattle! I live a couple blocks away and am a frequent patron - the staff is always sure to give me extra ginger to go with my salmon rolls read more

Decent place if you're in the neighborhood but don't go out of your way. Sushi wasn't anything special and service was lacking. Kids liked the decor and there are options for those who don't eat sushi. Overall I'd skip it next time unless kids made me go back. read more

Ohana Belltown - Appetizer, say yum - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This kitschi nightclub/restaurant is a true Seattle TREASURE. We head here anytime smone cms in frm out of town. The Sushi is hard to beat-- they hv a bar whers you cn watch yours being made the old fashioned way. Just about every item on the menu is authentic and dripping of island appeal. The drinks are strong and they have a variety of house drinks. On any given night they have a DJ or sm kind of music going on. You can sit outside on a warm evening and watch traffic and people in the heart of Belltown! read more

Food was great, absolutely the same stuff you'd get anywhere in the Islands with everything from a loco moko, Kalau pork to a very good potato/Mac salad. Nice local bar flair and friendly staff. read more

I love this place. I cannot wait until you open again so could get my hot sake with some salmon skin fries and some yummy sushi.

We were so excited to see familiar dishes on the menu. Our sister in law would cook them for us. The ones here are so good! We had the adobo,, chicken katsu and kahlua BBQ. We shared and they were delicious. A step up from homemade. Don't tell our sister in law! read more

Used to love this spot, but customer service has gone downhill. Waited over 5 minutes to be greeted... with no one even acknowledging us. Please get it together, Ohana. read more

I had high hopes for this place as they have some Hawaiian favorites on their menu. I have been here twice thinking... don't judge on one visit. First visit, I ordered the Adobo. It was dry and tough and their Mac Salad has to much Mayo and no real flavor... looked better than it tasted. Second visit, I ordered the Loco Moco... thinking you can't mess this up. Well when I got it... I thought they gave me soup. There was more watered down gravy that was bubbly and filled the bowl and covered everything. The egg was over done and the hamburger steak was charred and dry. Atmosphere was dark and dated with a mix of hodge podge of Island, Japanese and other knick knacks. My thoughts to the owner... work on your menu and quality of food and flavors. Clean up the restaurant and atmosphere making it feel welcoming. Also, kind of pricey for the quality of food. If I see change... and you want to pay my bill to try you again... I may give you a 3rd try but for now I would not even recommend my family or friends. read more

Good food however, I paid over $50 and portions were extremely small. Did not satisfy me.

Never been here. Posting a five star review to offset the one star just left due to the understandable policy requiring vaccine proof. It's their business and if you want to go, show proof of vaccination. If you choose not to - go elsewhere. Yelp should delete this review right after they do so to the previous one. read more

Great sushi. Fun Hawaiian drinks, atmosphere and vibe. Reservation recommended. We called in a reservation and got the best seat in the house. Food to please any crowd. Lots of sushi!!! Tacos, chicken wings, sandwiches and other island cuisine. We had the firecracker roll, the crunchy dynamite roll, and the half baked roll. Some rolls served warm- which was unique and delicious. Try the house Sake - affordable, warm and smooth. Great after dinner drink. read more

Great food and a very fun atmosphere! The happy hour prices were awesome. Regular menu items were also reasonably priced. We had three sushi rolls and none of them disappointed! read more

Bottom line: The food and drinks here are HELLA cheap and pretty good for the price! This place is great for pregaming, and has a dj and a small "dance floor" in the front area that's great to people-watch haha. It's extremely loud though and the music is an acquired taste, so I'd recommend a quick drink or two and continuing on bar hopping around 1st Ave. read more

Best sushi in all of SEATTLE. This is my go-to place and I've taken my friends and family there for almost two decades. The service is great, a nice relaxed Hawaiian vibe, comfortable seating in a tiki lounge atmosphere. The sushi rolls are exceptional and creative, the quality of the sushi is the best and I trust the chefs there implicitly. I highly recommend Ohana if you are staying downtown or drive into town and spend a few hours here - you'll feel like you left the chaos of urban life and went to an island - chill out with some sake and sushi, you won't regret it! read more

Came here for date night, both of us were really excited to come here. We waited five minutes to be greeted when we first walked in, which was no big deal. We were seated and given water and then never checked on again. We were sitting right in front of the cashier so it's not like they didn't see us. They kept seating people, taking other orders, clearing tables but no one EVER checked on us. Yes, they were busy but after 25 mins and no one even as much as comes to let us know they will be with us, is Ridiculous. We ended up walking out after the 25 minutes of being ignored. Definitely a disappointment read more

Bar hopping review. It was getting late, but we weren't quitting that early. The place looked super chill and was totally packed when we got inside. We were lucky to even have a table during the time. Unfortunately we missed sushi hours by about 20 minutes and found that out right after looking over the sushi menu for about 15 of those minutes Lol. Their Hawaiian plate was great though! Of course after we indulged in our meals, we enjoyed a couple sets from the DJ that comes in during the weekends. Overall, Ohana has everything you need to enjoy your night, and if the dance floor is too packed, they don't seem to mind people getting loose at the dining tables. read more

Was looking to eat some sushi because my husband and I love trying sushi places. We both really liked the sushi here it tasted fresh. However I really like the sushi place back home- no one can beat that place so far. Anyways we had a noodle dish with broccoli veggies and chicken. Really tasty. The mango madness drink was delicious not too strong! read more

Ohana Belltown has been in my bookmarks for a while and I finally got to hit it here when I suggested it for my friends birthday. We came here with group of 12 people total so we were sit in a longish table by the door. Unfortunately, they don't really accommodate big groups so well, unsure what the other room was about though but this was where we were placed. Food? I ordered tempura sampler which was a variety of 1 each of bell pepper, mushroom, potato, shrimp, carrot, onion and probably just a few more. In my opinion, skip it, not special enough. For main dish, I ordered a loco moco and my boyfriend ordered the Ohana burger. Loco Moco: Comes in a large bowl filled with gravy (like it was soup) with a small bowl of rice, burger, then an egg on top. Then there was some mac salad on the side. I thought it was okay but I was not too much of a fan, especially with it so drenched in gravy that it made my rice quite mushy... :( The mac salad, honestly, was disgusting with way too much pickles. Ohana Burger: Very mad, I did not get to taste it!!!! He did tell me that it isn't that great and not special at all. The fries though were pretty good, crunchy. We also grabbed a pina colada to share. We went virgin that night, kinda regret it see pics of those upside down corona drinks but next time!! I really enjoyed the pina colada though, omg!!! (I'm a big blended drinks fan lol!) Our meal ended up nearly ~$50 + 18% gratuity, which in all honestly I felt like it was not deserved. Our waitress was kind of offish and seemed mad the whole time though I can guarantee our group was not being chaotic or messy at all. She also wasn't around and did not check up on us a lot, especially to refill our water cups. Overall: I gave it a 3. Not a place I wouldn't come back to but not a place I would bother much to come back. read more

One of my favourite spots in bell town! A nice place to chill and have some sushi with drinks. Salmon roll is good. Cumber role is what you want and need. Try the big island as well to wash it all down. Yum.... read more

Overpriced and it's meh. we got drinks which were good but the sushi even at happy hour was overpriced and average. curly fries were bland, we had to drown it in ketchup salt pepper and some other seasoning thing. My friend and i were still hungry but went home to eat more. read more

The food is soooo ono that this place is worth going. Prices are fair. Hours are awesome....o yeah if you miss that Big City Diner loco moco, look no further. If you want that 7/11 spam Mitsubi come on in. If you love traditional poke just like the island, step right up. And dont forget that aloha lager, kona longboard. Lastly, you can feel the aloha spirit from the staff. read more

Stumbled upon this place after dinner on a Sunday evening and decided to try this spot. It was pretty cool... a bar and a restaurant all in one... with live music... sweet set-up. Parking around this area can be pretty difficult but during the evening on a Sunday was not bad at all... but there's public parking in lots but expect to pay a good amount. Anyways... the bouncer at front was friendly so it set the mood to this place. We sat at the bar and ordered quite a few drinks and also ordered the ahi poke with taro chips and the robata skewers. The food were okay and the drinks were really good! The bartender was very nice... had small talk about home (Hawaii) as we were all from there. He even hooked it up with our henessey shots so that's why we enjoyed this spot. Felt like home and the people were friendly. Will definitely come back whenever we're in town. read more

I paid $9 for a spicy tuna roll and got 5 little pieces with barely any meat in it. When I asked for water and a straw, I was given an unwrapped straw that tasted sweet so i checked the top of it and it had red specks on it (maybe juice or lipstick). The waitress was kind though. read more

I've been here a few times now and enjoy the cheesy ambiance of this Belltown fixture. It's especially inviting when the weather outside is dark and stormy. The sushi here is decent but it's not the best around. They have tasty cocktails but it's mostly the sweet stuff, like what you can find along Ka'anapali beach in Maui. I like that everyone here treats each other like family, true to their name "Ohana," and for that I will continue to come here with friends. read more

I'm not going to spend too much time on this review seeing that last night I spent almost 2 hours waiting for a beer and an appetizer. There were 4 in my group and each of us received our app at different times. 2 warm beers and 2 small apps, crappy service $39.48?? Belltown is full of better places to hangout. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. read more

My buddy Marc invited me to tag along. He mentioned that this is the spot where some of the Yelp fellows hang out. I was very interested in what this place was like. Location: The restaurant is in Beltown. Parking is not good in general. However, we went there on a Monday night around 8. Therefore, I was able to get a free parking just around the corner from the restaurant. Decor: It's a Hawaiian/Japanese restaurant. The decor is more like a Hawaiian restaurant for sure. There are sushi bar on one side and drink bar and seating area on the other side. It's very tropical. Food: We had veggie tempura, spider roll, Kahlua pork, and fried tofu. I enjoyed the veggie tempura, especially the sauce. However, some of the veggie was cut too thin, even so, it felt uncooked. Spider roll was ok. I really liked the soft-shelf crab. However, I felt the rice in the roll was not properly prepared, too wet and too soft for sushi roll. The Kahlua pork was really good. I really like the smokey flavor. Service: Great service! The lady was very patient, mellow, and she was not very pushy about our order. One thing I didn't try was their drinks. If I do come back again, I would like to try their tropical style drinks and more Hawaiian dishes. read more

The atmosphere is pretty cool, it gives off an islander/hawaiian theme. This is one of the places that my friends hit to prefunk if we ever are in Belltown. Or it might be the place to stay if all our Belltown plans fail because on weekends there is a DJ here. I hear there's another Ohana location on the Eastside somewhere. They have specialty drinks here that are pretty to take photos with. Be warned, pretty drinks usually means sweet drinks. I'm sure they have regular drinks for the guys that don't need umbrellas in their cups. Haha. I've tried some of the food before, I think I ordered some sort of fried rice and let's just say that I could probably whip up better fried rice with my cooking challenged self. Maybe I'll try other things on the menu next time. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Horrible. Our tempura appetizer was so awful, I wondered if they had mistakenly taken a plastic replica and stuck it in the deep fryer. It had a lumpen, soggy gray coating that suggested that the poor vegetable had run afoul of the law and was forced to be mutilated by a surly line cook that inexplicably had it out for broccoli. That was pretty much the highlight of the meal. What followed was hard rice in the rolls, cream cheese where it wasn't ordered, tuna that appeared to have been caught sometime last summer, and a waitress who hopefully has skills in acting, singing or dancing because god knows it wasn't waiting tables. Not only would I never go back, I would seriously consider picketing the place with the placard: Stop the Useless Slaughter of Innocent Sushi! read more

I adore Ohana - they must be 15+ years old now. Hopefully this is an adolescent phase they're going through, as I was very unhappy with service & atmosphere on my last two visits. They're called "Ohana" for a reason - but the teen phase seems to have them more focused on being a hipster bar right now. (Assuredly, the bar has always been a focal point, but never to the detriment of dining - til recently) I have been a huge fan of Ohana's food since they opened. They really hit the Seattle Asian mix of cultures on the head. I can tell these O'dea alums grew up here. The blend of Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese and Japanese food is like coming home for me. The Lumpia Sariwa ($6) is a thing I crave - a more sophisticated take on soul food, it is a hand made fresh roll stuffed with veggies and noodles served more like a large taco than egg roll. The same soulful sophistication is found with the adobo - not to be a pig, but I could eat a bucket! (oink oink) My critique of the sushi would be that they tend to put spicy sauce or peppers on a lot of items...that aside, I enjoy their maki creations and find their fish fresh. I love the Hawaiian food as well - it's got love. The loco moco is solid ($11); same with kalua pork and the fat Spam musubis ($5)! Sadly, I can't recommend them for family dining at this writing, but maybe they'll sow their oats and return to more of an Ohana atmosphere soon. If you are a true blue Seattlite who grew up on Asian food, I recommend them for a drink and some pupus for sure. read more

Ok my friend's keep coming back to place. I hate it. I mean I like Ohana for what it is, but it's not worth coming here as often as my friends do. For a Bar - YES! I'm a fan! For the food, I have DEFINITELY had better. The math comes out to 3-stars for A-OK. The full-menu is a hit or miss, meaning, some items are decent and others are equivalent to your frozen food dinners. If you must, go with the sushi because at least the fish is relatively fresh. In addition, the entree selections are over-priced for the quality, taste and quantity. At first glance, the HH menu looks pleasing - $3 for all of the above including agedashi tofu, meat on a stick, and sushi rolls. But the bill racks up fast if you came in looking for a HH Meal. At least the rolls are quite tasty. The Spam Musubi is a good thing to order if your drinking and you need some solids to occupy the alcohol-filled-space in your tummy. The slice of spam gently blankets up a crap-load of rice. Now that I've bashed all I could about Ohana's food, their drinks are great! The bartenders and wait-staff are amazing and they move as fast-as their hands and feet will allow despite the crowd! The crowd is littered with islanders, yellow-fevered men, and all different kinds of Asians. When I come to Ohana for the drink, we mostly always have a good time at the bar. read more

Ok - this place gets 1 start because simply they have lost my respect. July 28 - Every year my friend has to come here for her birthday and has been for at least the past 5 years we've been friends. Its tradition. She loves the place - hates the food - likes the old staff - doesn't care for the new staff. i personally think they are all jerks. July 28 2008 - 7ish we all meet for her birthday - about 20 of us. I get here a little early and decide to wait at the bar and start a tab. the party comes and we are seated....so i close the tab. This is for $17.60. we eat, drink, and hang out.....i pay cash with the large party....its getting into the night and some people leave and go - so i go to the bar and start a new tab with a NICE brown haired jerk of a bartender. i ask for a MOJITO...he says - ok well you have to pay for it. OK. well duh - why wouldn't I? at the end of the night i close this tab....$26.82. we all leave happy...full and buzzed....thats friday. monday...i check my account to see that i was charged by OHANAS like this.... $26.82 $26.82 $17.60 $17.60 i call...no answer....call again...no manager....call again and get a women who is the "ACTING" manager for the night. "ACTING?!?! yeah... i tell her what happend....and before i finished she says...is this from the 28th? i say yes. she says....its not our fault...its your banks....it happened to like 70 people that day. OK WELL LADY - if it happened to that many people....then OBVIOUSLY something is wrong. i call the bank...tell them what happens....they say they are going to investigate....well its NOVEMBER. and how many months later - WAMU states that OHANA has provided proof that i signed for all of those transactions.... OK so i know its not that much money....but i mean its the fact it happened to myself and others!! and nothing is being done... whatever. your food is not 'authentic' your bathrooms feel like a public park....and your staff is underpaid because they are very RUDE. read more

Serviceisreallyslow Ok, now that we have that out of the way let's talk. The happy hour is here one of the best in Belltown; not only because of price but value as well. They don't skimp out on the size like some places do. What you order from the regular menu outside of happy hour that's listed on the happy hour menu will be the same size. Fab! I've tried almost everything on happy hour (that I can) here. My favorites are the hand rolls, Hawaiian style poke (taro chips, yum!) and agedashi tofu. An off the happy hour menu item that's a must try are the coconut prawns. They don't use some cheap, foo foo coconut. It's the real thing. The sweet coconut compliments the crispy fried goodness perfectly. The texture is spot on and the prawns are huge and juicy. There are three to an order so I suggest you order your own. They often have (really loud) karaoke on weeknights. If that's not your thing, then don't sing. The décor in this place is interesting and welcoming. There's so much to look at! I enjoy eating here with both, large and small groups because they can accommodate a party of any size! The prices are great and if you're not expecting "designer" type sushi, you'll be happy with your meal at Ohana. read more

This review is long overdue, but in the spirit of getting caught up on my Yelping, and after all the years of coming here I needed to get it in. My review is definitely biased so take heed. I'm from Hawaii (spent a lot of my childhood there) so this place is a welcome spot to get my Hawaiian food fix. I have to be honest, I'm a vegetarian now but I made an exception last weekend for the spam musubi. If you don't know about spam musubi then you don't know why I made the exception. Yes it's spam...and yes it's freaking delish. Don't hate. They also have a semi-fusion menu of other Asian items and other Asian beers, including sake. The vibe is very "Ohana" which means family in Hawaiian and the music is always on point. Happy hour is amazing and on the weekend nights the floor actually fills up with people getting their groove on. I also love that it's right in the mix of Belltown so you can easily change gears and hit List, Spur, Tavolata, Bathtub and Gin etc if you need to switch it up. Good food, good drinks, casual atmosphere, friendly people and service. Would buy again. (and I do!) read more
