Mashiko Jpanese Rest Sushi Bar

Great date night for an experience meal. It’s best to do omakase style! Sitting at the bar is so fun. We love the wine and sake selection as well.

So good! Everything was complex and surprising and rewarding. That comes at a price. If you want cheap sushi, go to Costco. For extra you can get real wasabi, rather than horseradish paste and food coloring. We tried it, and it IS different. A similar kick, but more flavorful and without the chemical aftertaste. Things that I want to experience again: BLACK COD KASUZUKE, SCALLOP ON SNOWSHOES, and the wonderful miso soup. Our server was gracious and a pro. Next time, I might go for an Omakase experience they offer a variety of chef's choice tasting menus.

Experienced my first omakase dinner here! I chose the Taiken-Suru for 12 courses of adventurous eating. Highlights of the meal include sake poached oysters, trout sashimi, a whole fried ling cod collar, monkfish liver, uni served straight from the spiky shell, maitake mushroom and fish soup in a tea pot. Really every single dish was delicious and well composed. I also really appreciated how they all came with some vegetables and that they were all done really well too. The pickled onions and radish were superb. The chefs also took care to share the sourcing of every dish they served us and it was great to hear about all the local fish and shellfish they used. Service was stellar and overall we were very impressed by the whole experience. Highly recommend if you are craving fresh seafood and creative dishes and well worth the drive even if you live far from west Seattle!

I've had a couple different omakase meals here and I have to say I've left a little disappointed and worse, hungry both times. I'm impressed by the quality of preparation and the service is nice. However, for the price you pay here and compared to similarly priced fine sushi restaurants, I expect a bit more. For example, the last time the nigiri was all leaner fish and we had hoped for a fattier, more flavorful cut. All that said, still a perfectly good place to take out of towners and impress them.

Enjoyable first sushi experience! The restaurant is cozy and casual... 10 tables with a few extra seats at the bar, a mesmerizing fish tank, and bathrooms with bidets. It's a popular spot in the heart of West Seattle junction, so highly recommend reservations. Additionally, during the online reservation system I was able to add in food allergies which the chefs made a note of and adjusted a few of our items. I enjoyed the katsu salmon rolls and the melt-in-your-mouth nigiri. We ordered the 7 piece chef sampler, but I'd recommend just ordering a la carte to get two pieces of a few different types. The watermelon sorbet tasted fresh, but was frozen solid and pretty icy. Edamame was ok. Several vegetarian/vegan options available and gluten free options were noted on the menu. Free street parking, but in a busy area.
