Favorite Sushi?

Ever since Nikko closed, I've been searching for a new sushi joint to frequent. Nishino is currently winning, but I know I'm missing some good places. Any suggestions? Extra credit for a good omakase or private rooms. |

If you like Nishino, you should stick with it, you won't like Kisaku - the sushi's better there and the prices are lower. Oh, and you won't have to deal with the snooty service, though you will have to call ahead. |

Are you looking for a joint or an upscale place? Nishino is a bit upscale.I like Sushi Tokyo on Roosevelt. It's a smaller, family run place. The fish is fresh, the staff friendly. Make no mistake, you won't have the variety that you'd get at Nishino and Kisaku. But if you want a place where you and your wife can always sit at the bar, or a place where you can bring your kids, I recommend Sushi Tokyo. It's a sushi joint. |

I've got to agree, Kisaku is better than Nishino. I've had some of the best sushi of my life eating at the bar at Kisaku.Another one to try is Maneki in the ID. The place feels a little dumpy, but the sushi's great. |

i've only been once at an invitation from a friend, but i agree that kisaku is pretty darn good. the atmosphere is very welcoming, staff extremely helpful, quality very high and prices reasonable. |

Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I just had lunch at Kisaku and it was very good (5 piece lunch special, plus a side Wallingford roll). Now I just need to go back and try the omakase |

I heartily endorse and recommend Chiso in Fremont. We've been going for 4 years and it's the best sushi for the money in Seattle. The upstairs Kappo is awesome omakase, but pretty pricey. |

Ototo on Queen Anne is consistently good, inventive and with a little mod scan design 70ish ambiance. |

Chiso, though I have Nishino and Kisaku on my wish list. I also have a soft spot for Shiki, though I've never had the fugu. |

I agree with those who recommend Chiso, Nishino and Ototo. These next two might be controversial, but I've always had good sushi at Wasabi Bistro (not traditional Japanese, mind you) and at Blue C Sushi in Fremont. |

patrick,Not sure how far afield you are willing to go but three places come to mind that are not among the recos above, in no particular order, that feature traditional Japanese menus: Musashi's in Wallingford, which is always crowded to the gills, Kikuya in Redmond, which is very traditional Japanese, crowded at lunchtime by MSFTies, Tokyo Japanese Restaurant in Factoria, which is also very crowded at lunchtime -- it's on the front porch of Lohmann's and T-Mo, but it features the more Japanese/American combo rolls in addition to traditional fare -- and getting in for dinner is a cakewalk. :) |

Definitely kisaku...Nishino isn't even close. |

johnnjill has some nice recommendations "off-the-beaten" path - let me add two more from (omg!) Bellevue - Flo and Yama at the Galleria. |

Vi Bacchus on Capitol Hill, www.vibacchus.com/, is awesome. All day Sunday is half price appetizers and you can fill up on all the hot & cold appetizers they offer. |

Another vote for Musashi in Wallingford. It doesn't have the private rooms you're looking for - or even decor for that matter - but does have great sushi and awesome chirashi bowls. |
