“ It is a must go place for people who love omakase and japanese cuisine. The chef uses authentic japanese ingredients and minimal cooking process but he brings to us all sophisticated and stunning dishes. It is definitely worth the price you pay. ”

“ Taneda is the best sushi and kaiseki I have ever tried in my life. Chef is so creative and genius of creating new dishes with seasonal ingredients every month. Not only the ingredients but also the rice and excellent temperature control of food make every bite so mind blowing. I also love the traditional and bright dining environment. It is a place where I feel I am fully dedicated to enjoy the food. I highly recommend the sake paring, it balances the fatty taste of fish and Taneda always has the best sake he can find. I always look forward to having the next experience with Taneda! ”

“ Best omakase experience. Everyone here is so kind. Food is just off the chart delicious. Sushi will just melt in your mouth. Good choice of drinks(sake) too. THE best omakase sushi restaurant in Seattle bar none ”

“ First off, I just want to say that I know Taneda-san personally, in that my husband worked with him sixteen years ago at a sushi restaurant. When we decided to visit Seattle (we no longer live there) for Thanksgiving break, we really wanted to try out Taneda-san's new restaurant. We read online that reservations seemed really hard to get, so we set up an official Tock account and entered all our credit card information in advance. When the reservations opened up, we immediately logged in to Tock and tried to get a reservation. We were happily surprised when we snagged a reservation for when we'd be in town! We are not bots, and we did not get any preferential treatment when making a reservation. I guess we just got supremely lucky to get a reservation on our first try! I say this not to rub it in anyone's face who has been trying for many times, but perhaps as encouragement that it's not impossible to get a reservation. Taneda-san and his staff offer a welcoming dining experience from beginning to end. Omakase can be an intimidating experience, but Taneda-san is open to answering any questions about ingredients. He takes time to describe how each dish was prepared and how seasonality was taken into consideration. One of the highlights of the meal was tasting ingredients I've never had before. Our evening at Taneda is one we'll never forget. ”

“ Seattle’s most exclusive and best restaurant! Every visit to Taneda is an event, his skills are unmatched and the seafood impeccable. Never fails to amaze. And the premium sake pairing is the way to go! Always something new. ”

“ This was hands down the best nigiri and kaiseki I've had, even compared to the high end sushi restaurants in Japan it's that good. Dining here feels like I was back in Japan eating sushi at the sushi bars, the table, layout, and size are all the same. And the fish was amazing. Some of my highlights were the smoked fish, smoked krab rice, fatty tuna, and the wagyu beef teriyaki was delicious, very Seattle. It is on the expensive side and hard to get but well worth it if you want some of the best fish in your life. ”

“ The best omakase experience we’ve had so far. We travelled from Houston for vacation during my birthday. The service was exceptional, and we really loved the sake pairings because they were very individualized based on taste. The meal was incredibly unique with many fishes more commonly consumed in the summer. 100% would come back here the next time we come back to Seattle. ”

“ 10 out of 10 experience. Getting reservations is very challenging. You either get it in the first few mins of opening or its gone! Once thats done the rest is lovely. Staff are so nice and personable. Chef is so much fun!!! Absolutely a Seattle must!! ”
