Wataru

"After trying various sushi omakase places in Seattle, Wataru stands as the top choice so far. The cuts were generous, expertly seasoned, and creative flavor pairings delivered a dining experience that was hard to forget. Each bite showcased the chef’s remarkable talent and careful craftsmanship. Chef was very kind and service was great."

"Fantastic omakase, with a lot of courses and a wide variety of seasonal fish and flavours. Both the chef and his wife are great friendly hosts and take care in their craft. Traditional and classy decor, relaxing jazz music. One of the best omakase experiences in the city in my opinion."

"Chef is nice and friendly. Sushi-wise I was hoping for something more, it started really well and 4 nigiri are high lights and impressed me, the yozi scallop one brings you right into summer, and the one wrapped in clear Hokkaido seaweed feels like a fresh bite of ocean, apple wood smoked salmon has the perfect balance of smokiness. Oysters nigiri is really fresh and well done. However, it didn’t go uphill as omakase usually do where next nigiri tastes even better, towards the second half of course some nigiri feels unbalanced, or even too salty because of overpowering source, hand roll is one of them.. desert didn’t wow me unfortunately. Overall good experience but I was really hoping it could be beyond just good."
