The owners of MANEKI reckons that its long history means that it was the first sushi house in all of Seattle. In fact, it is one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in all of the country. Only one of us was there, so there's no room to argue. This may not be the most inventive or boundary-pushing sushi you've ever had, but it is an original. That's not something easily replicated. The expansive menu covers all the sushi basics a hungry eater wants, and plenty they never knew they needed. Bring your family, because MANEKI specializes in large, shared- style plates and a homey, casual atmosphere.

. . But the mackerel at Maneki is the best. My favorite restaurant in Seattle is the kind of place we’d typically bring out-of-town friends and family, directly from SeaTac airport, to give them the warmest of welcomes. We would reserve the “tatami room,” a private dining space just past the bar full of regulars, by the (normally) packed dining room and the kitchen. Before getting settled in the sunken seating area, we’d ask for a few orders of saba shio, or grilled mackerel, along with a couple sushi rolls and the first round of tea, warm sake, and beer.
