If you're in a group, I'd highly recommend making a reservation, since they fill up throughout the night. The camaraderie among my fellow diners made for an enjoyable meal, even though I was dining alone, and the fact that I was a party of one made it easier to find a seat (at the bar), as the place was full. Everything was excellently prepared, and very filling. I got one of the "variety ozen" dinner boxes, which came with a HUGE amount of food- a plate of nigiri sushi, a serving of chicken teriyaki, some mixed tempura, salads, a hefty serving of rice, and a small cup of fruit for dessert.

I love looking for that sort of history in places that I visit. ![]() What drew me to Maneki was reading about how it was the oldest Japanese restaurant in Seattle.

This is a no-fuss, family-owned, inexpensive Japanese restaurant - the oldest one in Seattle. Try their chirashi bowl for a good sampler of their fresh seafood. ![]() As far as sushi though, theirs is very good and always fresh. I have yet to find a dish that is not done well. Many non-raw dishes can be found on their vast menu. Maneki is perhaps my most favorite Japanese restaurant in Seattle.
