Review Kisaku - Seattle

Frank Gillett

Aug. 15, 2023 I picked up take out, which was ready at the time promised. I was early, so I waited outside - they were very nice and brought the order out to me. We bought a variety of rolls, salads, and a salmon collar. It was all well prepared and very tasty, with subtle flavor details that I look for in a good sushi place. At quick glance the dining room was very relaxed, open, and welcoming including for families. I’d love to eat in sometime. Daily menu updates are posted inside the door. Greeter told me the web menus are very old, so consult the latest menu photos for examples of current offerings.

After driving around for an hour and discovering how many restaurants are now closed in this area of Seattle, we lucked out by finding the local sushi spot. Although you only get 4 pieces, the Kasaki roll was amazing. Anything with that soy paper wrapping - strongly recommend. Service was surprisingly fast for a sushi restaurant and the waiter was very patient and accommodating to my son who has special needs. Great value for the money.

Super good! I got the sushi combination 2 and the staff was super accommodating with me replacing one of the sushis with another type of fish since I can’t have raw salmon :) Food was absolutely excellent and thick pieces of fish too! Definitely will be coming back. My husband loved the leftovers and wants me to bring him with next time 😄 Edited to add pictures now that I came here again! Really good

The food is amazingly delicious and the sashimi is really fresh! David who took care of our table is very friendly and professional. Strongly recommend.

Had some of the best sushi I’ve had in Seattle. Very fresh and what’s more, their fish selection is fantastic. I ordered the Medium Sashimi combo, able to choose from almost 30 fish options, many of which I have never seen on a menu but long been wanting to try. Spanish mackerel sashimi in Seattle??? Yes please. The wait staff was also super friendly 10/10

We had the Omakase last night, it’s pretty good neighborhood sushi with affordable price. We love the salmon sashimi with crab, red snapper nigiri, and brussels sprouts. The desserts are really creative, one has mango sorbet with Sake, the other is fried sweet potatoes with ice cream & red bean paste & strawberries.

Excellent food, service, and experience. Each item was incredibly fresh and the flavor pairings were very complimentary. Our server was great- friendly and knowledgeable. Kisaku has been added into our regular restaurant rotation list. Thanks for such a positive experience!

We are regular customers and love coming for lunch. Their lunch special is a good deal and good value. Sushi or sashimi combo including a complimentary salad and a miso soup. We also order from their Ala cart menu. Fish is fresh, good service and clean. I recommend sitting at the bar because the chef/owner will take good care of you. Food quality overall is very consistent.

Went with the omakase and was absolutely delighted with the quality and variety. To be fair, it's not so much "omakase" as it is a "prix fixe" menu, but delicious none the less. Good quality and quantity. The fish was wonderful, but as silly as it sounds the shishito peppers were one of my favorite courses. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, perfect. Overall, while a little pricy for a regular night out, I'm definitely keeping this place bookmarked for special occasions

Great local sushi restaurant. If you want to get a truly memorable experience, eat at the sushi bar and order individual pieces instead of a combo. They make them one at a time and add subtle special touches to them. Amazing local gem.

We went here to celebrate my sisters birthday. It was a cozy spot near Pike Place market. It turns out the sushi chef master was the first chef to bring sushi from Japan to the Seattle area. We did the omakase sitting at the bar. We were very full by the end. There were some unique dishes and soups that were served. Service was top notch! The sashimi was fresh and delicious and the sushi chefs made the experience feel very personable. I’d recommend checking it out if you have not tried an omakase style sitting.

Great experience, good sushis and we got an excellent service with the very kind Cait. We really enjoyed our dinner.

We went there a few days ago. Just only 5 tables for dinning in so that highly suggests calling ahead for secure a table. Price is a bit high side but we feel ok there for one for a special occasion. We had "Omakase Tsuki Course" $59/ person. It was 4 plates + a desert, smaller portions each plates but we were full at the end of our course. My father is a sushi chef in Japan. I could tell some of their menu are not traditional. Overall I felt good. I want to go back there and try other menu.

Very very good uni. So silky smooth and sweet. I always order one order of uni at restaurant because you know, most places are not that good. Either the color was too dull or not sweet. Some places even served uni that was still icy! Not Kisaku. I ordered two more orders 😂🤣

Great lunch options, though dinner prices looked quite expensive. The bento was delicous and filling, loved that it came with soup and salad. A more low-key and authentic Japanese dining experience (4.5 ⭐️) Be sure to make a reservation in advance!

This is the best sushi I could have ever imagined. I got the omakase (chef's choice) and it was just literally mind blowing. I was in disbelief at the amazing flavors and how fresh everything tasted. The chef was also very personable and had previously been head sushi chef in Dallas, where I currently live, and gave me recommendation to try Uchi when I get back home. Even their most basic rolls that my friends ordered were outstanding quality too. And the prices were extremely reasonable. I see no reason to go anywhere else for sushi when in Seattle in the future. A++

Good value neighborhood restaurant. The mushroom salad was a surprise hit, it had a delicious dressing.
