About the restaurant
Sushi master Ryuichi Nakano casts a wide net at SanKai, drawing longtime fans and welcoming newcomers to his intimate new sushi restaurant in the heart of downtown Edmonds. Enjoy our cozy dining room, omakase sushi bar, or heated outside dining in our domes.

Please note we are a small restaurant and children (babies) need to me accounted for in your reservation if you need seating/highchair. Stroller space is limited and may not always be accommodated.

We are regulars at SanKai. The best nigiri ever, fish is always so fresh and chef does an amazing job of rotating special, in season fish. Service is always excellent. We typically prefer to sit at the bar to chat with the chefs, but were seated in one of the outside domes this time and it was SO COOL! It was heated and they had a speaker playing music so the ambiance was on point! Note - If you’re a fancy roll person, SanKai might not be for you (they do have a handful of excellent rolls, but it’s not their focus) but if you’re into really good fresh fish then this is the place!

Our waiter was fantastic, and support staff were excellent. I should have requested a table in the lower bar area, my mistake because Anthony's is very accommodating, and since I booked my reservation I failed to request seating in the specific area that works best for me.

Another very enjoyable lunch! Excellent food and service. Only area of potential improvement is finding some way to minimize the background noise level to better facilitate verbal communication (I don’t know what it would be, but thought I would mention it).

Mario was helping us and he was the most kind, helpful, and polite. The food was amazing and what a variety our table shared. But seriously cannot recommend enough! Ask for Mario though really, so attentive and able to answer all types of questions with kindness and humor!

We were treated like royalty. We were a table of 9. We were celebrating three birthdays and we all received free birthday desserts. All of our dinner’s were served at the same time. Food was hot and delicious! Thank you for another wonderful experience.

We’ve been going to Keg in Lynnwood since they opened, which was more than 30 years ago. I celebrated by 30th birthday there with a large group of friends back then, and celebrated my 60th last night. The Keg never disappoints! The food is always delicious, the ambiance is lively, yet intimate and the service impeccable! I had the filet oscar served Chicago style with the loaded baked potato. Delicious and perfectly cooked! We met and had the pleasure of being served by Oscar last night, who was attentive, engaging and fun. He and Mitchell are now our favorite servers at the Keg! Thanks for another great birthday dinner everyone!
