What is it? A modern space serving the best sushi in town, crafted by Seattle’s very own sushi master, Shiro Kashiba.
Why we love it: Believe it or not, Pike Place Market is home to a three-time James Beard Outstanding Chef nominee. Sushi Kashiba is Shiro Kashiba’s third restaurant in Seattle since he moved to Seattle from Japan over 50 years ago. Seats at the counter are the most coveted, as you can watch the master sushi chef at work. There are à la carte options for guests dining at tables only, and those table guests also have a prix-fixe course option. The chef’s counter is omakase only and is the hottest seat in the house. Chef Kashiba prides himself on showcasing seasonal ingredients in every single bite with a traditional Edomae-style approach to local Pacific Northwest delicacies.
Time Out tip: Seatings for the chef’s counter are only available at 5pm, 7pm and 9pm, and no reservations are offered for the 5pm seating. If you can’t get a reservation and want the chef’s counter experience, get in line early for the 5pm walk-in only time slot.
