Tendon Kohaku - Seattle
Downtown Seattle • $$
Seattle's tempura obsession has an address. Crisp, never-greasy tempura crowns rice bowls loaded with unagi, king crab, or wagyu, all slicked with in-house spicy soy you'll want to bottle.
Sushi YOIN
West Queen Anne • $$$$
Twelve courses, one counter, and Chef Sean turning pristine fish into a carefully paced story. Aged, marinated, and seasoned with obsessive precision, down to the tableware.
KAKURENBO Restaurant
Downtown Seattle • $$$$
Chef Sho turns sushi into edible art at this intimate omakase counter, where every piece of nigiri feels like a small celebration. Slide into the cocktail bar afterward for drinks that'll transport you straight to Japan.
Hummingbird Sushi
Uptown • $$$$
Chef Ji turns a 10-course promise into nearly 20 plates of creative omakase, including surprises like lobster pasta and charred nigiri. The sushi counter feels like a dinner party where the hosts happen to be fish whisperers.
Sushi Suzuki
Madison Park • $$$$
Six seats, one chef, and fish flown in from Japan: Sushi Suzuki turns dinner into a front-row omakase show. Chef Suzuki himself guides you through 20 courses with warmth and plenty of jokes.

Frequently asked questions
How are these japanese food in Seattle chosen?
I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Is everything here still happening?
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
Do I need an account to use Outgoing?
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Is Outgoing free?
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
