wa'z Seattle

"wa'z has won the spot of "favorite restaurant of all time". I have been to several tasting menu restaurants including Per Se, and wa'z topped them all easily. I visited wa'z for the first time early this year for my birthday and was wowed, so much that my spouse and I really wanted to return. Went back for my husband's birthday a couple months later, and somehow the menu was even better than the first time. During both visits, I noticed that the menu had a couple of signature dishes that they kept the same, including the deep fried sesame tofu with uni and the dry aged tuna sashimi (which I was really happy about). And both times, I was excited about every single dish on the menu. The portion sizes were perfect. It wasn't so much food that I felt sick at the end, which often happens to me when there's so many courses. I also really liked the Kaiseki style of the tasting menu (as opposed to Omakase) because I enjoyed having the variety of dishes, including soup, small appetizers, and a grilled course along with sushi. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service was wonderful. You do need a reservation to come here as seats are limited. For my husband and I, this will be our go-to celebration restaurant from now on. To the team at wa'z - you guys are awesome!"

"Upscale atmosphere with friendly, professional and informative service. They were accommodating of a slight food allergy for our group. Each dish was beautifully displayed and a joy to savor. Everything was so well seasoned and balanced. We left quiet full with the 9 course experience. They also had a nice selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks."

"An incredible and intimate dining experience. I am visiting from Texas and was recommended this omakase by a friend. From beginning to end each dish left me elated and wondering what flavors are next? Each dish was presented beautifully and alongside an explanation from the chef of why they chose the flavor profiles. I am a glutton and at the end of the service I left satisfied with a full belly. Thank you Wa’z for the experience."
