    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!!!

    The best sushi in Seattle and among the best on the west coast taking into account creativity, quality, and consistency. Hajime kicks ass.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Try the spicy and very delicious red violin. The dancing shrimp is also milder and phenomenal. Best miso soup in the city.

    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.

    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.

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