Best Japanese Food in the NorthWest

by enochchan at Citysearch

For the affordable price and value, this restaurant can compare to the very expensive restaurants like Red Fin or Blue C, yet provides an even more authentic taste, without emptying your wallet. Congrats to the best sushi I've ever had. I recommend Ginza to anyone looking for a great Japanese restaurant, affordable pricing, service that makes you forget you aren't at home, and the best food you have ever tasted.

Great food, but service needs work

by yavora at Citysearch

Food is typically excellent in this small establishment; Last night we waited for 10 minutes for a table, then were seated at the bar and waited for 10-20 more. The servers didn't seem to understand us very well (heavily accented English) which led to some awkwardness.

• Pros: Food is generally above "I love sushi" quality
• Cons: Servers don't speak English well; Overcrowded

Authentic Japanese food in a homey atmosphere

by fdawn1 at Citysearch

This is the greatest place for raw seafood, small dishes like beef tongue and/or croquettes, or for simple comfort food like ramen and bento. The food is prepared delicately and every aspect that goes into the meal is very refined and top quality. It's a very small restaurant, but the owners and staff make it quaint and comfortable when you walk in. The service is moderate, patience is a virtue when it comes to Japanese food. I recommend the sashimi - uni is fresh, so is tuna belly (toro) and salmon. Ask them for special imports - they'll have geoduck at times and some other rare fish from time to time. Beef tongue is great if you are in for an unusual but savory bite. I love the pumpkin fried rice and the asari ramen. The unagi don is also very great. I love this place! There is an ever-changing menu, so be sure to ask them what is fresh for the day. They give you fruit and chocolate after dinner, what a nice gesture. I enjoy this place and consistently go there with my family for Japanese food. I hope their business continues to thrive. I suggest you try Ginza out when you are around the old Bellevue area.

• Pros: Fresh seafood, authentic Japanese food
• Cons: Parking, service may be slower at times
