SAI Sushi & Sake

I visited friends in Seattle and they decided to take me to SAI. They hadn’t been there before but heard it was great. We had the best time! There were three in our party and two in another party, so intimate. The kaiseki was fabulous and I tried several nigiri that I had never tried before. I highly recommend.

The most incredible omakase experience ever! There is so much attention to small details and all of the fish quality was amazing. Thank you for having us and we will definitely be back 🫶

I loved how you can get an entirely private omakase experience at a similar price point to other popular high-end sushi places in Seattle. Sai’s hospitality is awesome, and I’d definitely recommend this place for special occasions. On a side note, this is a “one-man” restaurant, so Sai would not be at the bar at all times, as he has to handle all sorts of stuff to present a wonderful sushi experience.

From start to finish, this omakase experience was very enjoyable . The chef’s attention to detail and mastery of flavors truly shone through in every course. The purple uni was a standout – its luxurious, buttery texture and briny sweetness was impressive. It melted on the palate like a dream. The toro was equally sublime, rich and fatty with the perfect balance of freshness. I also enjoy the nodoguro. The delicate, smoky flavor of this premium fish, paired with its silky texture, was simply unforgettable. The ambiance was intimate, and the chef’s passion for each ingredient was evident as they explained the origins and preparation behind every dish. If you’re a sushi lover, this is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return for another round of culinary artistry!

Me and my friend spent a wonderful birthday event here. The food quality is very good and we were able to enjoy some uncommon nigiri ingredients that barely find on market. The akagai nigiri was probably the most superizing one! Chief is very professional and friendly, delivering very authentic dishes that he learned from the master in Japan. The whole place is not large and looked like only serve 4 people each time, but it's clean, it's quiet and comfortable to place all belongings and bags properly. Would definitely visit again!
