$125 pp at the sushi counter $85 at a table The sushi counter menu is slightly different and involves chef interaction. I highly recommend it if you want the full experience! But you cannot go wrong with the table option either. For almost 20 pieces, you will be more than satisfied and content! read more

I like that it's a very simple ordering process. One set menu. This is a very good way to ensure that the fish you sell is fresh. Smart. It's fresh nigiri. If you've had it before you know. The staff are Polite and attentive. A few of the nigiri have a citrus salt or are already applied with soy sauce but aside from that it's fish on rice with wasabi. I was tired of paying money on sushi and getting a nigiri which wasn't fresh. That can ruin the entire experience. This place had all fresh sushi. I was a little surprised that the sushi chefs didn't shout/welcome at me when I entered the restaurant, like how they do in Japan but that's the way here. read more

Omakase was great! Service very nice. The suggested sake was excellent. A bit pricey but worth it. Not loud, a bit cramped but not bad. Will return! read more

This was the best sushi I've ever had and a fantastic dining experience. Book the sushi bar omakase if you can, it's terrific. The chefs were super funny and outgoing and made sure they thoroughly explained each piece before serving it. Staff was very attentive and I never went without water or ginger. Vibes were off the charts and I would recommend this experience to anyone who hasn't done it before. read more

My second time here and I was incredibly lucky to score a reservation at the sushi bar for an anniversary dinner! I booked it a month in advance. They only do 3 sushi bar sessions a day, so I was quite excited for a more intimate experience with our sushi chefs: Masaki & Taro. They gave a detailed description of each course and nigiri. Both chefs were so friendly and chatted with us the entire time! Our entire meal took about two hours. Of the 17 courses... my favorites were the Hokkaido Scallop, Striped Jack, Sea Urchin, and the Kanpachi Belly. However, EVERYTHING was perfectly curated and handcrafted. We were especially treated to the Kama Toro, which is the fattiest part of the bluefin tuna! This part of the fish is only 3% of the entire body, so it is only served every 3 or so days here. If you are lucky, I hope you get the chance to experience this amazing piece of fish. It was the highlight of my entire Seattle trip! If you have some extra appetite, definitely check out their dessert menu! The Hojicha Panna Cotta is one of a kind. A light custard and a very deep hojicha flavor. It is priced very reasonably too. read more

Came here for omakase for the first time in Seattle! The omakase set we got was $140/person with 19 courses. I was full but wasn't stuffed (definitely could have had a couple more pieces if included). Chefs were kind and attentive which made the experience so much more fun. A smaller restaurant which can get a bit loud during peak times but very intimate setting. The menu changes daily, but the highlights of my meal were the scallop and anything bluefin tuna. Want to come back to try the regular menu someday. read more

I had some of the best sushi ever here and would recommend anyone in Seattle to go here if they are not looking to spend $200 pp on omakase. For all the recognition this place has, I was surprised that it wasn't the fanciest of places. My party of 4 was seated in a corner next to cardboard boxes. However, service was very attentive. As soon as everyone at the table finished their sushi selection, the server was ready with the next course. They also watch you when you first come in and knew if you were left or right handed and set up the place setting based on that. The fish was very fresh and each succeeding course was better than the next, I honestly couldn't tell you what I enjoyed most. While I would like to try other sushi places next time I'm in Seattle, I think it would be hard to beat the price and quality that this place offers. read more

I was there on January 5 and I fear I have already had my best meal of 2025. I mean, who knew that monkfish liver pureed with a little soy sauce and served with yellow fin was so good? Not me, until I tried it and now wonder constantly when I'll have that lovely dish again. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the education that came with each piece of sushi. My tea was always being refilled and other items refreshed as needed without having to ask. We sampled 19 different types of fish and every single one was unique and delicious. Sushi is a craft and Shiro's has mastered it! Before the experience I was thinking it was pricy, but after this, I get it. This is not just bougie sushi, this is a unique, next level culinary experience that I did not mind paying for. read more

Without a doubt the best sushi I've ever had (to be fair, I haven't tried the other place yet though :P). At $85 per person for a table in the dining room, the omakase is a 4 course meal featuring 19 pieces of assorted nigiri sushi. The fish is rotated seasonally but at my visit (10/14/2022) we had: 1st Course 1. Albacore Tuna sourced from Oregon 2. Suzuki/Sea Bass sourced from Greece 3. Kanpachi/Amberjack sourced from Japan 4. Madai/Sea Bream sourced from Japan 5. Kurodai/Black Snapper sourced from Greece 2nd Course 6. Sockeye Salmon sourced from Alaska 7. Atlantic Salmon sourced from Canada 8. Hotate/Scallop sourced from Japan 9. Shimaaji/Striped Jack sourced from Japan 10. Botan-Ebi/Sweet Shrimp sourced from Alaska 11. Katuso/BOnito sourced from Japan 3rd Course 12-15. Bluefin Tuna - 4 ways sourced from Mexico & Japan 4th Course 16. Negitoro/Chopped Fatty Tuna sourced from Mexico 17. Uni/Sea Urchin sourced from California 18. Unagi/Fresh Water Eel sourced from Japan 19. Tamago/Egg Omelet The quality of service here is just as outstanding as the quality of the fish! The staff members are unbelievably attentive and refill your water before it's even halfway done. If able, advance reservations are highly recommended. Plan ahead! It would have been nice to be able to sit at the bar for what seems like an even "fuller" experience, but whether you decide to do the dining room or sit at the bar, I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience regardless. read more

Awesome experience! We were here a while ago when I was visiting Seattle for work and would love to go again. We sat in the back at a relatively private area in the corner and loved the privacy. It's also a smaller place which felt a bit more authentic to sushi spots in Japan. Our waitress was wonderful and went into great detail about every fish, cut, and preparation for each piece of sushi. It was amazing how much the presentation and explanation really enhanced the experience of every piece. I could have spent all day here ordering more sushi after our omakase concluded. read more

Ordered online pickup from Shiro's and was not disappointed. The order was ready when I got there, and I was greeted and sent off like a dine-in customer. I ordered the soft shell crab roll, fatty tuna, shimaaji (striped jack), and black cod. Everything was so good! The cod lives up to the hype. Super silky smooth with crunchy skin. I did find 2 bones, but they were huge and wouldn't have been easily swallowed. Probably my favorite. The soft shell crab was so delicious. Nice crunch, perfect ratio of crab to rice. The fatty tuna and shimaaji both were also silky smooth. The rice was also cooked perfectly - something that I feel meant sushi places overlook. Definitely recommended! read more

Since I moved to Seattle a couple years ago I've heard from many people great things about Shiro's and it's been on my bucketlist for a while. This year for my birthday my lovely boyfriend surprised me with a date to Shiro's and it was an unforgettable night! Chef Sean is so charismatic and knowledgeable, guiding you through a fun journey through the flavors of the ocean. Omakase was set at the sushi bar with about 6 people and Chef Sean brought all the good vibes - really getting to know our names and what brought us to Shiro's that night. He checked in with us often, getting feedback and learning our preferences. He talked about the differences between similar species of fish, the culture of sushi in the west vs Japan, and helped us understand the complex flavors we were tasting. He was also such a funny guy and would set up candid moments for us to take photos of him and the other chefs! The omakase itself was soooo delicious and interesting! I loved everything we tried, even the scallop! The quality of the fish was top tier. But the experience is what really makes this restaurant 5 stars. read more

Such a great experience having omakase at the bar! The chefs are super welcoming and make the 2 hours of dining enjoyable and they teach you about the cuts of fish you are trying. Three appetizers followed by 15 different cuts of fish (changing daily) makes for a new experience. You get to watch the chefs make everything that you are going to eat which is a show accompanied by dinner. I can't wait to go back! read more

I came in for the table omakase and everything was extremely delicious. I really enjoyed the omakase and I was very impressed with the fish quality. I highly recommend making a reservation and coming here if you're in Seattle. I do regret not making a sushi bar reservation and will definitely make a reservation for the bar next time since it looks like the omakase menu served at the bar is different from the table omakase. Surprisingly the desserts were also impressive as well. We got the matcha tiramisu and Hojicha panna cotta and both were so good. These are both a must order if you come to Shiro's! read more

Shiro's has one of the best omakase experience in Seattle. For $75 per person I thought pricing was fair. My husband made reservations and took me here for one of our dinners. The restaurant opens at 5pm and we had 5:15pm reservations. When we came it was already busy. The restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating and if you want bar seating for their omakase you better come early. Tables are even pretty small. The omakase includes 4 courses (16 pieces). Each course got better and better and overall it was an excellent experience. The first course included all their white fish such as albacore, seabass, amberjack, seabream, and black snapper. The second course had two types of salmon, scallop, stripped jack, sweet shrimp and bonito. The third course was four types of tuna (from different parts). The toro was of course melt in your mouth ridiculous. We ended with fatty tuna, uni, unagi, and tamago. I loved their uni and unagi. Yummy. I was super full at the end of our meal but my husband decided to order a little more for himself. We ended up paying about $200 for both of us. Service was excellent and they made sure to explain everything. We both enjoyed the experience and glad we went. read more

I placed a to go order at 5 PM because their website said they accept to go orders from 5-9 PM. I immediately received a message after I placed my order that said I could pick up my order at 8:30 PM! A 3 & 1/2 hour wait for a to go order is unacceptable under any circumstances. Other than that it is one of the best sushi restaurants in Seattle. My advice would be to dine in and avoid ordering to go. read more

Since Seattle is known to have good quality seafood, I decided to have omakase during my trip here! My friend recommended me Shiro's and he swore it was the best omakase he has ever had so I decided to give it a try. Honestly, what got me to try it was the price for how much you get! We didn't do the bar for omakase so it was a little cheaper but $85 for 19 pieces was such an amazing price for omakase. I made reservations 2 weeks prior online. You can also reserve for the bar if you want a more in depth omakase experience! As I stated earlier, eating at the bar is a little bit more expensive. I believe it's ~$120 for the bar experience. All of the pieces I had were so creamy and so fresh. My favorite part of the omakase was the tuna tasting which there were 4 different parts of the same tuna used differently. I love toro so the otoro and chutoro melted like butter in my mouth. The uni was also really creamy and buttery. I never really had fresh uni so I was scared because bad uni taste really gross so this was such an amazing experience for me! In the end, our server offered us a menu where we could order individual nigiris from the omakase and other items that weren't in the omakase however I was really full from the set itself. I really wanted to order more otoro and chutoro however my stomach said no...(and I also wanted room for dessert hehe) read more

My friend who has lived in Seattle for a bit recommended Shiro's to me, and it was definitely a really affordable and yummy omakase place. The price is incredible for 19 pieces of sushi (we didn't sit at the sushi chef's table). Fish quality is definitely amazing, and all the pieces come out really quickly. I love how they organize the pieces into sections. My only complaint is that I wish we had sat at the bar because you definitely feel a bit rushed to eat all the pieces, and you don't truly savor each bite. This is your classic omakase, so you're not going to get any eccentric ingredients. Every bite will be very familiar yet delicious. I really liked Shiro's. It's intimate, so it's also a great place for a date. I highly recommend getting a reservation (in fact, I'm not even sure if they'd be able to seat walk-ins with how popular they are). I read another review that said to save room for dessert, so I'd follow that advice! I personally was way too full to eat more, but their dessert options sound yummy. read more

What should I say... Shiro's sushi is the best sushi I've ever had so far! The quality of the food, the way the chefs processing the fish, the pleasant conversation and interaction with the chef, are really the top notch!

Reservations are highly recommended, and street parking is not that hard to find around the restaurant. read more

Came here around 4:20 pm as suggested to get a walk in table while I was in town. I opted to get a table since it was 85$pp vs 125$pp at the Chef's table. For dinner time on Saturdays they were only serving omakase with no take out options. The Chefs table was busy but getting a table wasn't too bad. There were some empty tables if you go around early but by the time I left most tables were full. There was a backroom dining area as well so the place is relatively bigger than expected. For sushi omakase, every thing was really good and fresh. They serve it in 4 courses at the table with the - first course - of white fish variety - second course - salmon, scallop, stripped jack, shrimp, bonito - third course - variety of blue fin tuna - fourth course - unagi, chopped tuna, and tomago Everything was really fresh and good. The price point was a good deal! Though I am not sure I would pay the same for the chef's table. read more

Our first visit for my hubby's birthday after 20+ years living in the area! Service: 5, extremely attentive and considerate Ambiance: 4, small and crowded, but simple decor Food: 5, omakase for 2 at a table, excellent variety including both standard and non-traditional fish, seasoned well by the chef so we never needed additional wasabi or soy, simple but elegant presentation, amazing value for the price (19 pieces of nigiri per person for $85) We'll be back! read more

Pretty good value for the quality of fish served. 19 pieces of fish for $85 (table omakase). I was surprised by the casual atmosphere, but you can show up dressed however you please. Menu is rotating. Our reservation was for 8:30pm on a Saturday evening, made the Wednesday prior. We started with the miso soup and edamame, a nice contrast of salty, both hot/cold. Each course of omakase came out promptly - I will give props to the staff and sushi chefs for staying observant of our progress. Once our plate was cleared, the following course arrived with a couple minutes. The staff will give a rundown of each piece, and advise whether soy sauce is needed. Favorites of ours included the mackeral, 2nd fatty tuna from the tuna course, scallop, and uni. Last call for the kitchen was around 9:15pm, which is when we whimsically ordered the black cod. It was a sizable piece of fish, crispy skin, but I felt like it could have been marinated a bit longer (a bit bland), nor was it as fatty as I anticipated. Our total was $220 between 2 people (pre-tip), which seemed reasonable for the miso soup, edamame, 19-piece omakase, and black cod. Restrooms are shared with other establishments in the building - they have the pin code on the door prior leaving, so remember it before heading to the restroom. Note: all their doors are unusually and extremely heavy!! read more

We went to Shiro's sushi tonight and did their 140.00 Omakase at the sushi bar. This is a two hour experience. Let me tell you how worth it it was! Everything that hit my mouth was so delicate and they describe every piece of fish, where it is from, how it is caught and how they prepared it. They take such great care and love in their craft. Every piece of sushi was amazing! This is definitely worth it however, going to regular sushi again will never be the same. read more

Five stars for the amazing service we received from Austin & their 19 course Omakase at only $85!! I am so glad we stopped by here during our Seattle trip because it was one of my favorite meals. The ambiance is chill as you don't need to dress up to eat here. We were a party of 6 but we had a friend running late from work so we waited an hour before we actually started our meal. We were so lucky to have Austin as our server because he was so patient with us. Always came by with a smile and ready to attend our needs. I appreciated his detailed explanations when serving the sushi to us and how he made sure to serve it correctly for our left handed friends. He deserves a raise :) If I ever return to Seattle, I would definitely add this restaurant on my itinerary! read more

I was finally able to return for the Chef's Choice Sushi Course with 19 pieces of nigiri for only $75 (back in April - but I'd still pay $85 now)! Are you kidding me? Going to Shiro's is such a satisfying experience. The interior is simple but clean and peaceful and the servers are impeccable at their jobs - attentive but not overbearing, knowledgable and descriptive of the fish. The sushi itself was so fresh and generously sliced and each piece melts in your mouth. If I absolutely had to choose a favorite, I loved the tuna course. Everything was so thoughtfully presented and the variety of flavors and textures flowed well. Don't be afraid to ask for a seat at the bar to be right up close to the action! read more

We went here for the omakase at the sushi bar and it was such a delicious and great experience. Each nigiri gets better with each course. My favorite was the otoro and uni at the end (and i don't even like uni that much, it was just the freshest one i tried). The sushi chefs kept you entertained during the whole two hr session while explaining each course. You get 15 nigiri and 3 apps. We did reservations for the sushi bar, I highly recommend it! They only have 6 spots at the bar! read more

I've been to Shiros three times now and not once have they disappointed me. Upon coming in for reservation at 5:15, we were greeted with a resounding welcome by the chefs behind the bar and the other wait staff. The lighting is warm and inviting. They also have a coat rack that they welcome their guests to use. They're known for their Chef's Choice Sushi Course which is are 19 pieces of nigiri split into 5 courses for $85 excluding tax or tip. They also offer an upgrade if you feel like that isn't enough food or you can call some other dishes off of their menu. With the variety of textures and flavors, you're definitely in for some delicious bites. Some pieces were more fishy than others but not overly adverse if you're used to eating raw nigiri. All pieces come wasabi'd up, the perfect amount to compliment the fish, nothing too spicy but you can always ask to remove it. I really enjoyed our server's attention to detail, well spoken responses and concise explanations of each piece. It was especially helpful that they have the menu that tells you what fish and from where it was sourced on your table. For drinks, sake is the way to go - was able to try both the Kubota and Konteki Junmai Daiginjos, both are extremely smooth and complimented the sushi well. The Kubota is a bit on the sweeter end and the Konteki was more dry tasting. Enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back. read more

Service was 5/5. Our server was professional and friendly. She explained each of the dishes that arrived and a little backstory on each part of the fish. Restaurant was very busy at 5:30pm. I would recommend getting reservations. Inside the restaurant was very clean like the tables utensils and bathroom. Food I ordered the omakase. 19 pieces for $85 is extremely worth it for this type of quality. Omakase was excellent and paired well with the two shot sake tasting. The fish on each piece was fresh and well prepared. Appetizer was the seasonal Hotaruika Sumiso. Small baby squid with miso, would not order again but was worth a try. read more

Very good selection of fish from Japan and US. The sushi chef described each selection during the Omakase experience. The fish are seasonal, so the choices vary over the year. I was impressed by the personalized serve and the selection of cold Sake. I was there for the first sitting.(5pm, 7pm & 9pm). I wish I came to Seattle more often. We do not have the same quality in Rhode Island. read more

I think it says something that I've lived in Seattle for 1 month and been to Shiro's 3 times. I start with the omakase which seems reasonably priced. But then I'm just like "dammmmmn that otoro, chutoro, uni, and hamachi were awesome" so I order several more a la carte. Annnnddddd thennnnn .... As I'm ordering those repeat customers, I notice a bunch more dope sounding fish & seasonal specials. So I can't ignore those ... don't want to be rude to the rest of the menu. So by that point the pencil is just marking off like every other row and I say a Hail Mary as I'm not even remotely looking at prices. So yeah, it's basically double the Omakase price for me each time I go, but I leave as a happy camper. And keep coming back for more. So is it worth it you ask? Yes, absolutely. ::walks out the door to head to Shiros:: read more
