Seattle, WA
Best Sushi in Seattle.
Harry's top 10 sushi spots in Seattle score 85–93 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $$ to $$$$.
Seattle's sushi pedigree is real: Shiro Kashiba trained under Jiro Ono in Tokyo, then built the city's first sushi bar at Maneki, in the old Japantown pocket of the International District, back in 1970. Decades later he opened right by Pike Place Market, and that's still the reference point. None of that excuses bad rice. Harry checks temperature and vinegar balance before he checks pedigree — a chef with a famous teacher can still oversalt the shari. Lineage gets you in the door. It doesn't get you a good score.
