One of the best sashimi and rolls I have ever had. We got the sashimi sampler, a great spicy poke dish, the cucumber seaweed salad, and two rolls that were to die for. I'll totally come back here.

Order the snowflake sushi as your final roll for a tasty treat! By far, the best sushi in West Seattle and amongst the best I've ever had. Make a reservation, this place is popular for good reason.
Tasneem SalimJune 27, 2016
One of the best sushi places in Seattle. Order the chef's selection of Sashimi, the tako poké and the monk patè. End your meal with some Mochi and try all the flavors.

A groundbreaking sustainable seafood restaurant. Be sure to follow all of Hajime's rules (posted on the website, in the menu, and all over the restaurant) and you're in for a great meal.

The scallop wrapped in Prosciutto and stuffed with crab meat. Toro tuna with flash fried shisito leaves and fried onion with blackened cod on top!! Amazing dinner and service
Michael Todd SmithSeptember 21, 2015
Love the sashimi (let the chef choose) and selection of sake. One of the best sushi places in town and a wonderful experience (if you can get in-reservations recommended)

For my money, the best deal on the menu is the 5-course chef's choice menu ($60 for two people), which includes an appetizer, sushi nigiri, a long roll, an entree, and a dessert. Read more

Sustainable, creative and delicious. This is one of the premier sushi joints in Seattle if not the country. Make reservations as the small space fills up quickly. There is nothing that isn't amazing.
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014
They pride themselves on a fully sustainably-fished menu, and a sassy attitude is all part of their schtick — but the servers are knowledgeable and helpful and want you to enjoy your experience. Read more

The Omakase - Nami for two is a great deal! And it's actually very filling. I've had a lot of sushi in my life and this restaurant literally changed my life.
dannydAugust 31, 2014
Wish I could remember the names of the plates but we randomly picked from sashimi to nigiri and even good old American style rolls and it all tasted great.
Sonya WJanuary 13, 2014
Don't let the uni scare you off if it is available. And getting the nami omakase is highly recommended. Made a fantastic anniversary dinner for us
Regina WarmothNovember 4, 2014
I'll never eat sushi anywhere else in Seattle again! Sit at the sushi bar & leave everything to Chef Hajime - you'll be in good hands!!!
Jack BenwayAugust 28, 2013
The best sushi in Seattle and among the best on the west coast taking into account creativity, quality, and consistency. Hajime kicks ass.
Zach StockwellOctober 18, 2017
Fantastic sushi, all sustainably sourced. Will cost you a small fortune.

Sushi (of course) & Steve is the best! He’ll stead you in the right direction.

You have to love any restaurant whose website URL is www.sushiwhore.com. Also, this restaurant was the first sushi bar in the city to offer only sustainable seafood. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Best sushi restaurant in Seattle and Hajime has done a wonderful job with researching sustainable sources of fish. Sit at the bar and get the Omakase. You won't be disappointed and come ready to eat
Jessica DoddekApril 27, 2014
As an out of tower with a billion good allergies. The server was very knowledgable and the sushi chef was very willing to recommend something that wouldn't make me ill. We were not disappointed.
Deb PerezJune 1, 2018
These are scallops wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with crabmeat

Incredible service. Delicious and fresh dishes. And best black sesame crème brûlée

my home away from home (Japan). not so homesick after discovering this place. Chawanmushi, kushi katsu, agedashi-dofu is one of the best I've had in a long time. 有難う、Hajime-さん

The sushi at this West Seattle spot is just as popular as the mispronunciation of its name. It's pronounced MAH-shee-koh.
Josh PhillipsSeptember 13, 2011
Try the spicy and very delicious red violin. The dancing shrimp is also milder and phenomenal. Best miso soup in the city.
My Tam NguyenOctober 29, 2011
Entirely sustainable sushi. Best salmon sashimi I've had and their website (sushiwhore.com) is absolutely hilarious and entertaining.
noelle murataApril 6, 2011
The omakase here is one of the best in Seattle.
David StutzFebruary 21, 2010
Stroll on California: visit Carmelia's, Easy Street, other locals. Have a coffee at Uptown or Hotwire or Ladro. At 5:03, Go to Mashiko and eat whatever you are told to by the sushi chef. Read more

Walked in ready to eat, but was told we needed reservations. Had to go to a place down the street, that was awesome.

Hajime and Mariah make life-changing Omakase. Wash it down with delicious sake from their extensive collection. Ask them and they'll pair sake with your meal.
Aaron CampbellJuly 22, 2011
Imaginative, fun, ALWAYS ORDER THE LOCAL OR SPECIAL and you cannot go wrong on anything here.
Deb PerezJune 1, 2018
Excellent tasting toro.

Many know this sushi joint more from its Web address: sushiwhore.com. There's a live webcam of its sushi bar. Check out the women's bathroom, which has Japanese toilets that squirt warm water. Read more

Leave it up to the chef and try an omakase!

Go to Mashiko for sushi. If you like the taste of hamachi, order the kampachi. If you like the taste of bbq eel, try the Southern roll with catfish.

uni was outstanding

I'm an avid sushi lover; this place is mediocre at best. The only highlight is that the fish they use is sustainable.
