Sushi Kappo Tamura - Japanese restaurant in Seattle - 2968 Eastlake Ave E, USA

Wonderful sushi and very friendly and helpful staff. The Hamtastic and Golden Dragon Rolls were our favourites. Book ahead like we did to guarantee a table. Would recommend

Came here twice. Both times the sushi were all really fresh and the appetizers are all unique here (none are your typical ones that you can name). Also great service. Only cons is a year ago the omakase came with real wasabi while rolls come with horseradish wasabi but this year it was all horseradish wasabi. Also this restaurant is not kid friendly. No real high chair and no diaper changing stations in the bathrooms.

The sushi was real good and real good for the price! However, the atmosphere wasn't amazing (though looking at the chef seats it could have been - reserve there if atmosphere and service are high priority for you). The waiter was knowledgeable, but we definitely got not as good service as some of the folk who looked more traditional (we have dyed hair, etc). We did not like the sake selection when we were there, but the lychee margaritas are incredible!!

Update: I had my birthday dinner, also took my day for her birthday dinner. We ordered “five”. We both liked chawan mushi, deluxe sushi, and lychee lemonade, and Yuzu panna cotta. The service was excellent. The bill includes 20% service fee which I have no issues. However, it is explained in a piece of paper as “ living wage charge” which I did not think it was really appropriate. It should simply say “ service fee”. When you run your business, why don’t you want to pay living wage to your employees in the first place? What is wrong with paying their employees living wage? This note gave me a bad taste. Quality Japanese food. One of the best in town. Everything is tasty. Great back ground music and service. My favorite place for sure.

Incredible sushi of course, but if you have a chance for the oyster, definitely get those - you won't regret it. The interior is crisp and warm. We tried almost everything on the menu. Also got to see Chef Shota drop in at the bar for a bite, which was pretty exciting for this fangirl. The only thing was that the wait for food was a bit long (each time we put in a sushi order), I think it was a busy night, but we weren't in a hurry so still had a very enjoyable experience.

Had omakase sushi take out for a friend's birthday and it was amazing. The Toro was absolutely buttery.

Very good food and service. I like the black cod with miso the best. Can’t describe its taste with words, just try it! The five course menu also has great value. Though they make steamed egg counts as one course, but the other will also make you stuffed.

Great sushi! Pretty tasty and fresh. Love that they have some specific fantastic nigiri pieces that isn’t just fish on rice. For example, the scallop is seared and topped with yuzu juice. Takeout was a great experience. There were signs all of the front door to call into the restaurant and they came out with my order. Didn’t even need to enter the restaurant. Still isn’t as great as places like Wataru, where the chef carefully micro scores each nigiri piece, but this place is close to the top of my list for sushi.
