We got lucky and managed to snag a same-day reservation at Shiro's due to a cancellation! The interior had a casual ambiance, with a sushi bar and table seating. We opted for the 16pc Chef's Choice Sushi Course, which consisted of 4 courses. For the first course, we were served Albacore, Flounder, Sea Bream, and Black Snapper, which were excellent. The cuts of fish were great, and I appreciated the server advising where we should skip the soy sauce. The second course was Amberjack, Striped Jack, and 3 different Salmon varieties. As a salmon lover, I especially enjoyed this part! The fourth course consisted of Bluefin Tuna served 4 ways (all delicious) and the final course had Chopped Fatty Tuna, Eel, and Tamago. This last one was probably my least favorite, and the Tamago was different than normal, almost pastry-like. However, the overall experience was awesome, and we were very full by the end. A pricey but delicious dinner!
4.5 stars (5 for the price point). We tried the happy hour omakase (the 19 course, at a table/not at the counter) which is a great deal (their regular omakase is very affordable too, as compared to a lot of places especially NYC). It seems great for special occasions (we saw them coming by with a polaroid for those celebrating such as birthdays or anniversaries. I enjoyed how relaxed the vibes are at this place. I wish they had more cold tea options for the summer and more non-alcoholic drinks in general, but still had a great experience. The fish selection is fresh and the pieces are very manageable. It feels like there is a local touch with the salmon course/pieces. My husband is left handed and I was very impressed our waiter noticed and adjusted accordingly. I especially loved their soy sauce (which they said was house made). Fun little date night out and we really did enjoy it. Highly recommend making a reservation as that is what we did.
This is a great place to get some fresh classic Japanese sushi. The fish was fresh and the rice to fish ratio was perfect. Staff was friendly and made our celebration amazing.
The sushi delivery here was SO bomb. I got the Salmon Combo ($38.50 on UberEats) and the Unagi Sashimi ($19.25). Hella expensive but you're paying for superior quality. I didn't eat in but the service and ambiance look nice - I know they're known for their eat-in omakase experience.
Finally tried Shiro's and I have to say, it was a pretty big let down. To be fair, we didn't do the bar seating and instead went for table reservations. Reservations during off peak dinner hours aren't too difficult to get on a weeknight and street parking was fairly easy to find. The omakase / tasting menu is 19 bites, which is a decent amount of food, but overall the fish quality was really disappointing. There were only about 4-5 pieces of nigiri that tasted fresh and clean; the white fish that you start with in particular were just not a fun texture or flavor. The shellfish course and sweet shrimp were solid though. Unfortunately, besides the fish, the rice was a total flop too. It just felt dried out as if they had been pre portioned well ahead of time and under seasoned. Part of the joy of a course menu, if you want slightly warm / room temperature rice against the cool fish, but you get zero of that contrast here.
I ordered through Ubereats and didn't have a dazzling experience like all the others. The things I ordered (see pic): 1) Tuna Combo - This is perhaps the most misleading bc if you look at the photo and description, it says "5 pieces of bluefin tuna nigiri and negitoro roll" - I did NOT get the negitoro rolls (it was just regular tuna) and also the toro nigiris pale in quality from what is depicted in their photo. 2) Salmon Combo - The salmon did not taste fresh at all. Mind you, this place is just a few blocks away from me but I was caught up in a work meeting and couldn't leave. 3) Tempura - Batter was tasteless and veggies were left to fry for too long (they were mushy). 4) Matcha tiramisu slice - Although a bit roughed up from delivery, was probably the best tasting item. TLDR: If you're ordering delivery, the fish is not fresh, the photos are misleading and the tempura is not good quaity and over fried. I would not recommend!
10/10 experience. This meal is something I will be talking about for quite some time. I made a reservation a month prior to make sure we could sit at the bar top, as it was for a special occasion. Their staff was friendly and extremely attentive as they refilled our drinks several times, and if we left the table they would refold our napkin before we returned. The food was out of this world. The chefs were extremely knowledgeable on their craft and educated us before each course. My personal favorite was the fatty tuna courses. I loved experiencing this restaurant from the bar top and watching the chefs do their craft. It is a pricey meal for sure but was one of the best experiences and well worth it!
We had a wonderful and special dinner at shiros! We opted for the 19 piece chefs sushi course. Our server explained to what each piece of fish was, its origin, the flavor profile, and if soy sauce was needed or not. Every bite was delicious. We ended with the hojicha tiramisu, the perfect ending to the meal.
It was our second time heading to Shiro's and another amazing experience. The sushi was fantastic and the service was exemplary. We were fortunate to have Jareen and were seated in the back room. Her little attention to detail was impressive from chatting with our teenage son who is shy (and autistic) so having him open out of his shell to seeing that he was left handed and plating the sushi in the correct direction for him to eat. The food tasted rich and vibrant with each piece of fish incredibly fresh and nuanced in its flavors. Our youngest was having it without the shoyu since he really wanted to taste the depth of flavor on its own. We always feel amply full after the 19 pieces with the courses being so well balanced. We started with a tempura appetizer and a karaage of black cod (if this is on the menu--order it!). It truly is an experience and looking forward to returning again in the future.
First time having the chef describe the preparation and origin of the fish in detail before serving it, Chef Taro leads a fun edutainment dinner for us. The chef described rare finds and special fish for us tonight, and I appreciate that he was able to accommodate a no wasabi preference for us too. Some light humor and small talk made the dinner feel light hearted and intimate. The restaurant service hands were also very attentive and respectful. Also on offer was a nigiri dessert which I have never seen. The house picked ginger was sweet and tangy, which is much better than the shaved ginger. Honestly they could bottle the stuff up and make big sales in the ginger market. There is a parking lot nearby, but we walked from the light rail station about 15 minutes away. More of a casual setting than upscale. At the end you get an option to take away a Polaroid picture as a souvenir. 20% service fee included, 70% of which goes to service staff.
Shiro's sushi is such a great spot for some high-end sushi! Bar omakase and table omakase offer different options but both are on the lower end of the cost spectrum relative to other omakase offerings in the city. So much love and quality goes into the service. Kurisu and Taro were such welcoming and friendly chefs. Highly recommend!
Amazing omakase experience. My favorites must've been chutoro, uni, ama ebi, and salmon. Staff and chefs were welcoming, warm, and friendly. We were seated promptly at the reservation time and were lucky enough to be seated in front of the head chef at the sushi bar. He took his time to get to know his guests and introduce each dish. There was a sense of community which I thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant was clean, homey and well organized, reminding me of Japan. Would highly recommend it to locals or those visiting Seattle alike.
Came here for Valentine's Day dinner, and wow-what an experience. We had reservations (definitely the move on a holiday/weekend/special occasion), and from the moment we walked in, our experience was exceptional. The ambiance, the staff, the food.. all top tier. We ordered the Chef's Choice Sushi Course: 19 pieces of great quality nigiri served over 5 courses. This was my first omakase experience, and I was blown away. Every piece was explained well and our servers were friendly and walked us through how to enjoy each piece, including when to skip the shoyu. Everything was delicious, but a few standouts for me were the 1. Fuji Salmon, 2. Bluefin Tuna 4 Ways, 3. Madai, 4. Zuwaigani with Uni, (in no particular order). I'm already looking forward to coming back, and next time im hoping to snag a spot at the sushi bar for an even better experience.
Finally got to try this long standing institution and had a wonderful experience. We grabbed a Saturday night reservation in the main dining room, which only includes the chef's sushi dinner and not the full omakase menu. We we greeted and sat right away. Even with an earlier reservation, the place was still totally full. After ordering drinks we were served our first set of fish right away. All of the fish tasted super fresh and we were told what each fish was as it was served to us. They are served in sets of about 5 on each platter so you can enjoy a few pieces at a time, though I think we could have benefitted from a few minutes of downtime between each platter to savor the flavors and get excited for the next set, we barely had a moment to take a drink before we were being served again. Usually these sushi experiences feel a little more relaxed and while we didn't feel rushed we did plan for this to be a longer meal than it actually was. Some highlights from the meal were the salmon, a seared tuna, and the medium fatty tuna, yum! Can't wait to come back in a new season to see what changes. read more

Cute sushi restaurant. The service was great! We did omakase for $85 per person. Everything was fresh and delicious and they even accommodated some of my allergies! My friends got the fresh uni and they loved it! I highly recommend this place! read more
Returned here for restaurant week and was happy to get a table reservation. They open right on time and seat you quickly. Menu being pre-set for restaurant week made ordering a bit easier but on the flip side it did feel a bit different this way - maybe because things were sitting and ready to go? Anyways out of the 19 pieces of nigiri only 3 or 4 really stood out as really good. The others were ok and a couple just weren't my palate for texture and taste (the shrimp was gummy and seabream tasted plasticy).. One item in the menu was not available so it was substituted for something else that I didnt really enjoy either. Because we were there, we ordered the special addition that was offered to the meal for an extra $15. The salmon was dry and over cooked. The other 2 pieces were ok. Each piece came w a recommendation for how to eat it which I appreciated. Not sure if the quality / taste of fish would have been better on a non restaurant week but it's also been 9 years since I was last here so unsure on "normal" recent consistency and quality. 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

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
Foods are great. I got the omakase, which was all good, but I got torched Engawa (flounder fin) separately, and this was amaaaazing! It reminded me of my home taste in Japan. Next time I go, I will just get several torched Engawa! Service is great - they serve foods well and explained all the sushi's/fishes. The ambience is great. I went during lunch time. But, it's elegant that you can feel you are having good quality foods but also not too fancy that you can get to enjoy foods without feeling tensions. 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

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
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

We called up at the last minute and they were able to squeeze us in. We had their omakase offering and everything was really good and the price was not bad at all. Everything was so good that I forgot to take pictures of the 2nd and 3rd course. read more
Long overdue review, and the hype is worth it! We came on a friday evening without a reservation, but managed to get in after arriving right when doors open. You gotta get the omakase - everything was so fresh! Service was great and would recommend for a fun dining experience. 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! Thank you, chef Sean and Taro for the great experience! We did the $140 omakase, definitely worth it! 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

Absolutely incredible experience at Shiro's @shirosseattle A big thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and to Sean and Taro for their hilarious comedy duoism along with their amazing expertise! We did the Omakase style of dining with multiple small courses and 15 types of nigiri. Every bite was delicious! We will be back! 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
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
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
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
Excellent sushi! Super fresh and tasty, and we really appreciated the course that had different types of tuna. Food: we ordered the omakase. Each course was delicious and super fresh. One course had different parts of a tuna, and you could truly taste how the amount of fat makes a difference! Service: super fast and attentive. Atmosphere: Nice and casual, good for a date spot or to have a conversation. Perks - being able to make a reservation on OpenTable 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
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

Probably the best food experience I may have had Came on special occasion Never thought I would pay up for sushi but so glad I did I would say take a seat at the sushi bar if you really want to have the best experience Each course intentionally prepared and explained We had 15 courses plus a few from the kitchen So glad we chose Shiros 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

Ask the Community - Shiro's
Are the Nigri sushi served in the chef's choice sushi course and shiro's omakase different or basically the same?
My understanding is that the omakase sushi is different at the sushi bar versus at the tables in the dining room, but I don't know the extent of difference. You might want to call the restaurant to check.
Can you order appetizers also with Omakase at the sushi bar? Or is it just Omakase?
Yes you can but they do give you an appetizer.
What is the dress code here?
This isn't a formal dress code. But most of the people I saw at dinner were dressed like they were out on a first date with someone slightly, but not unrealistically, out of their league.
Does this restaurant require covid vaccination or negative test proof?
No as of 9/18!
Is there valet or a parking garage nearby?
No valet and no parking "garage," but there is street parking, even if you end up having to walk a couple/few blocks.
I would like to reserve on resy for the end of May but the times are not out. May I be able to call the restaurant to set a reservation ? Also it says that it only serves 75$ Omakase, does it include any drinks like alcohol? Thanks
Not sure about calling currently for reservations but I have found more success in the past doing so. The Omakase does not include drinks but they are available to purchase in addition to the meal. Appetizers are also offered for purchase.
Is Shiro's doing dine it during COVID? Or only takeout/delivery?
They are doing dine in also.
Could you make a reservation to do omakase at the sushi bar? If so, can this be done over the phone within the week?
You have to wait outside before they open and hope you are the first 11 or 12 people to get a seat at the Sushi bar. I made reservations for a table just in case
Can a gluten free food allergy be accommodated? I love this place, but my wife has celiac and needs gluten free options. Thank you!
Yes, my partner is also gluten free and they were very accommodating.
How much is the all you can eat and what schedule it is?
If you're thinking of the omakase, it's like making any other reservation, except at the sushi counter. The chef will serve you one piece at a time until you tell them to stop. You are charged by the price of each piece (it's not a fixed price).…
Anybody having a hard time making a reservation? I have been calling the past 2-3 days and still no answer?
Leave a voicemail or use a web form on their site to make a reservation 1 week in advance.
Is this place all you can eat?
No. This is a traditional sushi restaurant that focuses on nigiri and sashimi, not the Americanized rolls. Very expensive.
How long is a wait when you go without a reservation?
I didn't have to wait. I went there 20 minutes before they opened for dinner on a weeknight. Got seated right away for table of two.
Does Shiro still own/manage/work here?
No, Shiro Kashiba sold his remaining stake in Shiro's to the I Love Sushi group in 2014. He has since opened a new restaurant in Pike Place Market called Sushi Kashiba, which he currently works at.
How long does the omakase last? I know it will vary depending how fast you eat. Reason I ask is because I'm trying to plan a trip and see if we can make it to an improve show.
It won't last more than 90 min. I ate every available fish (~35 pieces) and they stopped serving me.
