Nishino - Reviews

We were very disappointed with the service. We waited about 20 minutes for someone to take our order, and during that time at least three servers walked by without acknowledging us. No one asked if we needed anything or even greeted us. It felt rude and unprofessional. After waiting with no attention at all, we decided to leave. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the food because nobody attended us.

My experience at this restaurant offered a nice atmosphere, and it was convenient that I could use my Amex Plat Resy credit here. However, I found it to be rather overpriced for what it is. The fish was generally of good quality, but it was a lot more expensive than I had expected.

This was my first time at this restaurant, despite living in Seattle for over 10 years, and I regret not visiting sooner! It's a great option if you have an Amex Platinum, as you can use your quarterly Resy credit by booking through Resy. Our server was amazing, and we followed his recommendations for three dishes: the hamachi, salmon crispy rice, and the black cod marinated with miso, which was the absolute STAR of the show – we ended up ordering a second one! We also thoroughly enjoyed the chef’s omakase and the tempura. I can't wait to return!

We arrived a little early, but even though our table was available, they made us wait until after the reservation time. The menu only listed dish names without explanations, requiring us to ask about every item. The food was decent, but I definitely expected more. The serving was very unusual; one of us received miso soup before the main dish, while another got it with the main. Some received parts of their main dish while others were still finishing appetizers. Worryingly, some serving dishes, including the miso soup bowl, were made of plastic, raising concerns about consuming plastic particles with hot soup – not what I'd expect from a high-end restaurant. Despite informing them at the beginning that it was a birthday celebration, they forgot to add a candle to the dessert, even though we saw other desserts with candles. I would not recommend this place for a special occasion.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The sushi was overpriced for the quality received, and frankly, it wasn't even that good, regardless of the cost. The rice felt overcooked and gummy, which significantly detracted from the overall dish.

My experience at this restaurant was that the sushi was standard, but the price was way over inflated, which almost literally put a bad taste in my mouth. For two people, we were charged $160 for 2 rolls, 10 pieces of average grade sashimi, and tiny skewers. The location is not premium, and the ingredients were nothing above standard pacific salmon and tuna (not toro).

For my mother's birthday dinner, we sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience. The food was consistently great, with particularly fresh fish. The wait staff was attentive without being invasive. Despite getting a little loud, we still felt very welcome, making it a memorable celebration.

My experience at this restaurant was that the food wasn’t bad, but I found it to be a bit overpriced and rather average. The decor also felt a bit shabby.

This place has become my new favorite sushi spot in Seattle. The food and service were impeccable. I visited for a dinner date with my girlfriend and her mom. Since neither of them eat seaweed, they opted for rolls with a cucumber wrap, which turned out to be very good. Despite the restaurant being super busy, the staff was on top of everything.

My experience at this restaurant was honestly super phenomenal. The service was great and the food was awesome. I will definitely be coming back again.
