    Although primarily a sushi restaurant, they also serve traditional Japanese cuisine, very authentic and very delicious. The cod and salmon are superb as are the salads. We also enjoyed the crisp calamari with avocado dip, something I've never had before but it worked.

    Such a neighborhood gem! Great food, a welcoming and cozy environment, excellent service, good value for the amount and quality of the food we had - it really doesn't get better than that. And a shoutout to our server, David, who did a great job on our behalf.

    The restaurant week menu was not worth it compared to traditional omakase. Which is what I thought I was booking. I even clarified to say that 3 members would like omakase and one person would do a la carte. And no one told us that omakase wasn’t an option during this time. Secondly this was booked as a birthday gift to my wife and her sister, which I put in the reservation but no such dessert or anything was prepared for us Second time here, and the first was by far a much more amazing experience. Seems like somethings change with management.

    They didn't seem to know about our reservation when we arrived. And then the food came out so slowly that it became uncomfortable how long we'd been waiting. Sushi was good, other food was fine.

    This was disappointing. I took my family here and the fish and food were not fresh unfortunately, it did not taste good. The Fatty Tuna is usually my favorite and it was brown and red (from being out too long). We did not eat several pieces as they were not fresh. We come here many times before and it was very good. Quality has gone way downhill since even 4 months ago. Our waiter was inattentive, did not give water, or ask how our food was, or ask if we wanted a box or anything. It was very disappointing to come and want a good dining experience and get completely opposite with food and service. Very disappointed in the service and the food. I hate writing bad reviews. It was embarrassing to bring my family here and have them experience poor quality food and service.

    We tried this place for dinner on a Monday evening. We have reserved for 5:45. Upon arrival we were informed there is another reservation assigned in our table at 7:15. We started with the largest sashimi plate, edamame, and a bottle of cold sake. I have been to many Japanese restaurants which are even busier. The presentation is very rustic and the chef forgot to put ginger on the plate. We ordered an additional sake with the eel and Ora King Nigiri. We had to remind the server of the additional sake as we wanted to be respectful of the time allotted to us. It’s an OK restaurant and I’d still prefer Miyabi in Tukwila or Tori Sake and Grill in Burien in terms of service and food quality.

    Really good place to go have sushi. In comparison to service and food quality we had received in the past, it has degraded a little bit. We ordered first during the rush and we’re served last, both with drinks and food. our two most favorite dishes are no longer on the menu, but everything we had was great!

    We were charged differently than the menu says on one item and were quoted wrongly by our server on another item. They should have honored the quote we got from the server. The food was great otherwise.

    The service was very good. But if you're a Japanese sushi connoisseur I wouldn't recommend Kisaku. The sushi is passable but not stellar. The sweet potato dessert was very creative. Parking is easy.

    We are never disappointed with Kisaku. Great traditional Japanese cuisine as well as lots of varieties of sushi. The Shiozaki salmon was delicious! Service is gracious and very timely. My only complaint is that the restaurant is so popular it's hard to get a reservation at a time I would like.

    The sushi is as good as Kashiba or Shiro’s. Amazing value. Wonderful location. The $55 Omakase including an amazing appetizer like fried oysters or Yuzu Hamachi with some jalapeños is an unbeatable value. And a 700 ML bottle of great Sake for $25. Seriously. Love this place.
