In the top 5 omakase spots for Seattle (if you manage to
In the top 5 omakase spots for Seattle (if you manage to get a spot)... Taneda's been on my radar for the longest time. Somehow, this place is exceptionally hard to book (on Tock) compared to other great omakase spots in Seattle, so it took some planning and agility+good luck to get a table. The spot has lots of character, for sure, but might not be to everyone's liking - it is smack in the middle of Capitol Hill, with all its je-ne-sais-quoi aspects (aka I would not have felt comfortable walking from the dinner to the parking alone in this area after dark). The staff and the chefs are most welcoming. The food was great overall, although both my dining partner and I found a few of the flavor combinations to be too creative for their own good and lacking a bit of balance. I really appreciated the creative plating though. And the overall experience was very pleasant for me. All in all, this place sits in the top 5 omakase spots for Seattle, with Suzuki, Ltd Edition Sushi and Sushi by Scratch as a somewhat more preferred alternatives for me from effort to book/$$$$ to experience ratio.

Nestled among the stores along Broadway is the intimate dining experience that is Taneda. At just 9 seats with 2 services a night, you'll be fighting for a reservation, the hardest part of eating here. But when you're finally sitting down at the counter, you won't be disappointed. Dining at Taneda is equal parts a known and intrigue. You know you're about to eat amazing sushi. However, with Chef Taneda and Chef Ryoji's rotating menu, you're in for a surprise every time you go. When there, do get the sake flight, it's well worth it and the staff are extremely knowledgable on each bottle. Plus, it just makes the experience that much more fun with Chef Taneda, his team, and your fellow diners. You might notice I didn't mention anything about the food. That's intentional. Go in blind. Don't look up the menu before going, because the experience at Taneda is not just about the food, it's about being delightfully surprised with the textures, the flavors, and the company. And all of it is amazing. No questions asked.

Thanks to one of my friend's quick hands, we were able to reserve a spot at the tough-to-book Taneda Sushi and I had the pleasure of enjoying the works of Chef Taneda. You can tell he cares about his craft as he carefully puts together each course with his assistant. I ordered the 3 sake omakase to go with my meal and Chef Taneda personally spoke with me and helped pick one of my sakes. He enjoyed speaking with us in general and seemed like a friendly guy. One of his assistants helped me pick the other 2 sakes and they were all great. The meal ran me over $300 and the question I've gotten from friends and family was- "is it worth it?" That's a tough one as I'm usually loathe to spend more than $100 on food and have a hard time judging what $300+ worth of food should be like. What I can tell you is 3 things- ~ I had some of the most delicious melting-in-your-mouth fish I've ever had. One of the spanish tuna bellies we ate cost $350/lb according to Chef Taneda and you can see why. Melts right into your taste buds. ~ The food was put together really well. That delicious toro I was talking about in the above point? Imagine it sitting on some rice and topped off with some uni. Truly magical in your mouth. ~ It's quite the experience watching Chef Taneda assemble this all. It's not like it's a quick 3 course meal either. I estimate I had 10+ courses and you watch Chef Taneda make each one. All while conversing with the 9 people seated around him. I certainly didn't walk out hungry, and that's a concern I tend to have at restaurants where you're paying for the presentation as much as you're paying for the food. Really great night and lives up to the hype.

This should be an 8 star, 5 for yelp and 3 for Michelin! Chef Taneda is great himself, the staff are friendly, and they also have Kaiseki which makes things more fun and interesting. There are lots of different flavors and tastes that are on par with top restaurants in the world if not better. I have been lucky to be there 4 times in each season and as someone who has been to the likes of DiverXO, Disfrutar, and Alinea, this is a place that I go back without any hesitation (the only other places I would definitely go again if I can are DiverXO and Hisa Franka).
Be the first to ReplyI have been there two times.
Best sushi I had. Want to share with my family (have met since 2018) but really hard to get a seat.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely one of the best if not the best out there.
It is pricey now, basically $300 a seat, but to be honest it is so worth it for a special occasion. The food is amazing and top tier. One of the best experiences and I would love to go again when the next special occasion happens in my life. Everything just melts in your mouth and I highly recommend going at least once just to try! There are only 9 seats so it's am intimate setting and it's fun to talk to others that are there as well. Chef Taneda is fun to talk to and it's just a good time! He is also really knowledgeable about sake and curates the sake based on your preferences. All of the sake was just sublime. It is really hard to get a reservation so always follow their IG so you know when they release the next month reservations on Tock!
Be the first to ReplyAMAZING!!!! All I can say is, if I could get a reservation
AMAZING!!!! All I can say is, if I could get a reservation every month; I would!! Service: impeccable Chef: amazing Food: sublime Can't wait to go again.
Be the first to ReplySpectacular Omakase experience that is out of this world.
Words cannot describe. Yes, it is nearly impossible to get a reservation here. I got lucky after two months of trying to get in and being on the waitlist. After receiving a notification of a seat becoming available last minute the day before, I booked a flight for the following day. The four-hour flight from Missouri was definitely worth the trek to check out the hype of this restaurant. All the raving 5-stars are completely true and it is worth all the effort to try to get the elusive reservation. After dining here I can understand why they sell out within seconds when the booking window opens. I have had the opportunity to dine here on two occasions in April 2022 and October 2022 and was able to experience both their spring and fall menus. When I first tried this place out in April I was blown away with the omakase, and then in October I felt it was even better the second time around. I have tried other omakase's such as Shiro's and Suzuki when I couldn't get a reservation here, and Taneda still tops them all as the benchmark. Not only are all the 20-plus courses of the highest quality in terms of freshness and culinary artistry, the total ambiance is what also adds to the quality of the experience. The chef and wait staff are all genuinely interested in getting to know everyone and it feels as though you are being invited into their home and having a lively family dinner. With each course the chef will provide everyone with details on where the fish/course was sourced and it becomes an immersive/educational experience. There is an extensive sake list to choose from and the chef and the entire staff have exquisite knowledge of all the sake and how to pair them with each course. After each course it only leaves you with pure joy, and you can see it in everyone's faces around you as well. It definitely gives you that wow factor with each course that makes a difference.

Taneda was super friendly and inviting. My wife and I had the best time. Food was amazing and every piece I had was delicious. Unlike sushi by scratch or Takai in Bellevue, you feel full after the experience
Be the first to Reply*Better-late-than-never review for my dining experience in
*Better-late-than-never review for my dining experience in August 2022 :p*My friends visiting from out of town was lucky enough to get a reservation for the 5:30PM seating on a Wednesday night (never had luck myself after many months of trying).Food was memorable, and to me better than all the sushi restaurants I've been to in downtown Seattle. I love that Kaiseki style offers a large variety of ingredients, not just limited to raw fish. It's always fun to try ingredients I've never had or even heard of before. Below is my notes from that evening, and thankfully I jot it down because I definitely can't recall these details now.·Scallop from Hokkaido with uni and sea plant jello ·Flounder 2-ways: sashimi and fin (cooked)·Horse mackerel·King Mackerel with onion sauce and green onion·Shad·langustine with Chinese wine sauce·throat of the seaperch (torched) ·cod roe with monk fish liver·skipjack ·hokkaido uni with Vancouver spot prawn·bluefin tuna from Spain (380 pound tuna, dry aged for 2 weeks)·chutoro·otoro·lobster from Canada and sweet corn from California·miso katsu Miyazaki waygu beef ·uni hand roll from north side of Hokkaido·huge hand roll with sea eelDessert:Mascarpone pudding with mochi and matcha

best omakase in Seattle,chef often updated the menu,i visited taneda 3 times ,always got surprise from them!
Be the first to ReplyY'all, this place actually lives up to the hype.
Every single dish was fantastic and kept getting better throughout the meal. Chef Taneda was incredibly personable, as was the other chef alongside him that night. There was so much attention to detail in every single dish - reflected both in taste and presentation. They also did one of the best sake pairings I've ever had, as they really paid attention to our likes/dislikes and matched them to each course so well. I would 100% return the next time I'm lucky enough to secure a reservation. Just go, it's seriously so worth it.
Be the first to ReplyWords really can't describe how amazing Taneda is.
The quality, the service, the alcohol options and sake pairings - everything was perfect. The omakase experience takes your palate on a journey that hits on everything from saltiness to sweet, from creamy to savory, from crunchy to smooth. My wife and I have been to several Japanese establishments for their omakase experience, and this, so far, has been the best. Getting a reservation is a feat in itself, but trust. TRUST! It's so worth it. My reviews tend to be long and thorough, but as I said in my intro, words can't describe how amazing this place was. So I'm going to let my photos do the talking. Enjoy. Don't think too much about it. Just go make reservations. They hype was and is real.
Be the first to ReplyApparently people would fly to Seattle to give this place a
Apparently people would fly to Seattle to give this place a try. In the "west coast food desert", having a spot like this is... quite refreshing. I have given up trying to secure a reservation long time ago--getting a reservation is probably harder than winning the green card lottery. I'm exaggerating here, but you get the point. My friend magically secured a reservation for 3 during my birthday weekend. When I told the assistant chef about my past trying to secure a reservation, he laughed and told me the group seated furthest from me comes every single month. Y'all... it humbled me real quick.The reviews so far have provided more than enough context of this restaurant. I read none of them before coming, and there's something nice about having 0 clue on what to expect. I highly recommend you not reading too much into the reviews. I only have one tip for my girlies... eat an extra light lunch before this. The quantity isn't massive, but a bigger lunch will make you unable to finish the later courses.

Impossible to get a reservation at, still the best meal I've ever had... if you have chance, don't miss it

It took me a long time after eating at Taneda to find a word, any word to describe what had just happened. But let's start from the beginning.You have seconds from when the reservations release to be able to snag anything available and I have yet to succeed. Thankfully a friend was able to get one and happened to have an available seat that I gladly filled.Taneda is located under Tacos Chukis, which has always been a point of interest for me because I always see it as I make my way upstairs for tacos, and ever since they opened there I had always had the thought of "Oh I should give them a try" but I never connected the dots that this was the Taneda that was impossible to get reservations for Chef Taneda is exceedingly polite and down to earth. He is easy to talk to and quick with a laugh. The staff are also great, making sure water/tea are always full while whisking away plates or bringing out the next sake for your pairing.I think Taneda offers the truest sake pairing I've ever had. They bring out completely different sake per person depending on your likes and dislikes , and the staff explains where each one is from and how it will taste in very good detail.The food was out of this world. The sushi looks deceptively small, but they are well sized for one bite. The plated arrangements were beautiful and the flavors worked together extremely well. The word I'm looking for is awestruck. That's how I felt walking out of Taneda after finishing the final dessert. Wishing you all the luck in getting a reservation here, you won't regret it!

Good in Seattle but no a top-standard one if opened in Japan. Ingredients were fresh though.
Be the first to ReplyThis is my favorite Kaiseki restaurant.
It has been a long time since I've been back, due to how hard it is to get a reservation. I've tried other Kaiseki restaurants and Taneda is still the best. All the staff are super friendly and the food is fresh and delicious.

Excellent and unique omakase! A mix of sushi, sashimi and other cooked dishes. Chef Taneda does add his own style to a lot of the food and it's quite enjoyable. I would place this in a slightly different category from other more traditional predominantly nigiri/sashimi omakase places. Definitely worth trying if you like omakase though. Wife indicated sake pairing was definitely worth it. Highlights for us were pressed nodoguro in nori, gizzard shad, uni and uno wrapped in amaebi!

BEST OMAKASE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFETIME! My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner reservation at Taneda's and I was beyond excited!!! The whole experience was amazing! The details, the preparations, the food and the conversation with Taneda himself, it was truly special.
Be the first to ReplyRestaurant location and environment The restaurant is in
Restaurant location and environment The restaurant is in the busy capital hill area of Seattle, and it is difficult to park. The restaurant is on the first floor of a very small store with a classic Japanese sushi store style interior, as in picture 1, all the customers are sitting around the sushi bar area. All the customers are sitting around the sushi bar area. The waiters and the people who make the second are Japanese. The food is completely at the chef's disposal, and the set menu is $100 per person, so the chef gives you whatever you want to eat. The menu changes seasonally and is updated monthly. There are a few things that impress me about the food, the portions are very large, we ate from the big o'clock until almost eleven o'clock without stopping. The sashimi is quite fresh, and the sea urchin is especially sweet. The sushi rice tastes slightly sour compared to other Japanese restaurants we've eaten. There is a special sushi, which is made with both sea urchin and sweet shrimp, both of which are my favorites, and both are very fresh!

Definitely took a few months of trying to finally get a reservation but I'm very glad those efforts paid off!It's a very small shop, but the interior really makes me feel like I'm in Japan. The service here is absolutely amazing, my hot tea was constantly being refilled. And talking with Taneda himself was also very fun as well.During meal time, each course is explained and also comes in a timely manner. Each course was seriously such a gem of a bite. The fishes were all super quality. Although each course felt small it really added up and I definitely felt full afterward. The entire experience and taste of this meal was like a dream! Would love to come back again since the meals change monthly.
Be the first to ReplyThis place probably has one of the best omakase you can get
This place probably has one of the best omakase you can get in the Seattle area much better than Sushi Kashiba or Shiro's. My other 2 favorite Japanese restaurants are Wa'z and Sankai in Edmonds. I would say Taneda is on par with Wa'z in quality although Taneda has more sushi. I cannot pick which one I like more between Tandeda and Wa'z! Sankai is simpler and slightly a step below in presentation and preparation but has excellent prices for huge variety of fish flown in from Japan.The thing that makes Taneda stand out is the sake pairing. 100% do get it. I didn't even like most sakes until I got the pairing from Taneda and now I'm hooked on Junmai Daiginjo! They will tailor the pairing to your tastes. I tried to find the same sake from stores and was told the chef must have gotten special rare bottles from his buddies!Service is kind of pretentious here. I got told off for putting clam shells on the sushi serving stone and a friend was charged $3 for water with a slice of lemon. I guess they can afford to do this due to the exclusivity and the quality of the food. I would not subtract any stars as these situations are avoidable.
