What People Are Saying About Mashiko Japanese Restaurant

The Scene
Chef Mashiko enlists college kids to turn out surprisingly well-executed, colorful sushi to Gap-clad regulars. A tad larger than intimate, tables are set close enough to share food with neighbors. One look at the bleached, minimalist decor will have you mentally paging through an Ikea catalog. Service is always courteous.
The Food
The Tiger Eye is a great starter--raw tuna wrapped tightly around fresh salmon roe, then deep-fried. Diners who vow to "try anything" might order the Moriawase, the chef's choice of sushi and sashimi, a broad selection of fresh fish served with all the standard favorites--this is the ultimate way to enjoy sushi. An order of edamame, a rainbow roll and some sake round out the meal nicely.

I went here for the first time this past weekend as a change of pace from my regular sushi place, and I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was. My eyes lit up as I ate the Albacore Nigiri, which is the best I've had anywhere in Seattle. We tried a few other pieces of nigiri and ordered two rolls, all of which were delicious. The sake menu was impressive as well, with an entire page devoted to sake! There were easily over 20 different types of sake to try. I will definitely be adding this place to my list of sushi joints.

We're always looking for great sushi restaurants and look forward to new experiences. This was our first visit to Mashito and the overall experience was disappointing. However, the initial service was excellent! The restaurant was full but we were seated right away to the sushi bar. The ambience was so obnoxiously loud and the food wasn't that great. I wasn't able to finish the seared tuna wisabi salad since it was coated with lots of mayo! Overall, we're very pleased with the person(s) who seated us and gave us the drinks but our chef didn't give us the service we expected . Sorry to say we won't be returning nor recommend to friends and family.
