This was a great experience all around, and made all the easier of a choice for me because my Airbnb was right up the street. If you're in a group, I'd highly recommend making a reservation, since they fill up throughout the night. The camaraderie among my fellow diners made for an enjoyable meal, even though I was dining alone, and the fact that I was a party of one made it easier to find a seat (at the bar), as the place was full. Everything was excellently prepared, and very filling. I got one of the "variety ozen" dinner boxes, which came with a HUGE amount of food- a plate of nigiri sushi, a serving of chicken teriyaki, some mixed tempura, salads, a hefty serving of rice, and a small cup of fruit for dessert. It's also family run, from the no-nonsense obaa-san as its matron to a granddaughter working the bar (where I had my meal) and a grandson elsewhere on the waitstaff. I love looking for that sort of history in places that I visit. What drew me to Maneki was reading about how it was the oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle. Oh, they also don't do to-go or delivery.
Oh well, I just want to be able to get in somedays even without a reservation. Of course, this may also be intentional (limited staff, limited seafood, etc.). In the many instances I've been able to get in (with a reservation) there's usually plenty of unoccupied tables. Chances are, if you don't have a reservation, you won't get in until about 9 pm. My only gripe is that they do not seem to have a good handle on how they manage their seating. This is a no-fuss, family-owned, inexpensive Japanese restaurant - the oldest one in Seattle. Try their chirashi bowl for a good sampler of their fresh seafood. 22 hours ago &0183 &32 Bondi’s largest store to date, the 1,650-square foot space at 959 West Avenue is anchored by a 24-seat, maple back sushi bar with wood walls and paneling with velvet details.
The word iconic gets thrown around a lot these days. As far as sushi though, theirs is very good and always fresh. SEATTLE Maneki is one of four winners of Evenings Small Business Energy Efficiency Makeover Contest, sponsored by Puget Sound Energy. I have yet to find a dish that is not done well. Many non-raw dishes can be found on their vast menu.
Maneki is perhaps my most favorite Japanese restaurant in Seattle.
