Description

Located a few steps below street level, this restaurant from Chef Minoru Ogawa has a minimalist decor. The counter faces the sunken kitchen where an eight-course Kappo-style tasting menu with a focus on Wagyu woven with seafood is the main event. The kitchen is exacting when it comes to flavors, but their style is approachable. Go ahead and add caviar and uni if you're feeling flush, but you won't need them to feel well taken care of here. Wagyu tataki is lightly seared, tossed in an egg yolk soy sauce and topped with wasabi foam, then toro is set atop garlic ponzu and sided by a dashi-poached

Review summary

Kappo in Seattle is renowned for its high-quality, fresh sushi and authentic Japanese cuisine, with a daily-changing menu featuring items like black cod and vegetarian options. The cozy atmosphere appeals to those seeking a traditional dining experience. However, opinions on value are mixed; some guests find portions small relative to the cost. Service receives polarized feedback, ranging from highly knowledgeable and attentive to complaints about slow pacing and mandatory charges. While food quality is consistently praised, the overall experience depends on individual tolerance for price and service speed.
