Best Japanese Food Classes Seattle Near Me

Karen Wheless: Very fun. Chef Peter had lots of info to share. The ramen was delicious-be sure to come hungry!

Emma Bankson: We had an amazing time! Great date with your partner or friends. Learned so much from weighing flour vs measuring when making fresh pasta dough, knife skills, and more. Our chef was absolutely amazing as well. We will be taking another class for sure.

Madeleine Farias: Loved Chef Mary! She has great skills to impart and we definitely left the class with new skills of our own. She is funny and easy to chat with, and very encouraging throughout the whole cooking process. Thank you, Chef Mary!

Becky Scott: Chef Unika was very organized & a relaxed teacher. The food was delicious. We had a fun family evening.

Emily Bowden: We went into this class with few expectations, and Chef Mary exceeded all of them! She is very knowledgeable and super fun - you're basically getting dinner and a show. I would say this class is more of a group class geared towards newer chefs, but my boyfriend and I still learned some new skills to add to our repertoire. The class was intimate and fun and the food was delicious. Would definitely take another class with Chef Mary!

Julia Lovelace-Johnson: We had an excellent experience! The chef was friendly, knowledgeable and funny.

James Argento: Class was great. It was small and personal with just two others. Chef Mary was personable and very instrutive. The food we helped prepare was excellent.

Michael Bailey: This cooking class was a lot of fun. Mary was a great instructor and made the class fun!! I highly recommend this class 😀

Mary Ann Lambert: Chef Mary was so enjoyable and funny! We loved this class.

Ginna Cuadra: Lovely time, delicious dinner! 😊

Suzanne Lindsay: This was such a special experience! We learned so much about how to make sushi, but also the ingredients themselves, and the restaurant industry and enjoyed such good company at the table of Chef. Highly recommend Chef Shinya's courses!

Danielle Isbell: We had a wonderful experience at the Greek cooking class! We not only learned to prepare some delicious dishes, but we also learned some fundamentals in cooking that we still use today.Learning how to properly balance a dish and how to tell what ingredients are missing toake you food really pop.I would highly recommend a Hip Cooks class and can't wait to take another one!

Mark Walker: Interesting food classes

Claire Giardina: We had an incredible class with Bonny. We made cocktails accompanied with beautiful hors d'oeuvres. Bonny brings huge energy to her classes and she is a delightful hostess. Try a class with Bonny. You won't be disappointed. And if you double lucky, Christine will be showing you the Art of Cocktails in the same class. That's a double play, Hipcooks style.Claire & Rich

Celeste Summer: Had an amazing time! Highly recommended!Our instructor taught us knife skills, guided us through each of the dishes, and was entertaining throughout the course. I can't wait to take another class next time I come into town

Tyler Beauchamp: Food: 5/5

Hugo Aguas: Yes!!!!! I'll say it again for the people in the back- yyyyaaaaeeeesaassssss! So cute, so good! Yeeeaaaassss!It's that time of the year again where restaurant week reigns supreme, and this time they didn't miss! I had their restaurant week special which was a salmon box. Everything was perfect, especially the salmon belly, grilled salmon and salmon sashimi! Everything was fresh tasty and out of this world.Despite this location doubling as a bakery, they know how to make sushi and prepare wonderful pastries. The matcha cheesecake was superb with plenty of fresh matcha powder on top and mung beans on the bottom. This was easily my favorite matcha desert ever!While they don't have indoor seating, I saw two small tables outside. I'll be going back and happy freaking restaurant week!

Luke Hippely: I had a mackerel bento box - it was delicious and healthy. Friendly staff!

Lisa Chen: Lovely store and employees! Got some great suggestions for bentos for the family. The food was delicious and nutritious! They also sell some goods like bags and cups which were very cute.

Bil E: at $30 all in for a chirashi bowl that is 80% the portion of fremont bowl, I am not excited about the quality trade off that might be present.

J Y: The eel over rice was delicious with a nice warm miso soup!

Gabrielle Root: We live down the street. We also eat at restaurants all over Seattle. The thing that stands out for me at Modern is the food feels like it’s lovingly prepared. The ingredients are premium. Even the to go orders are carefully prepared. We get the salmon bento a lot, and the cuts of fish are premium. It’s the perfect amount of food. Tiny garnishments of pickled vegetables compliment everything perfectly. Service is also top notch. Love this place!

Alyssa S: Their sushi is really fresh and their customer service is incredibly friendly! Their desserts are also really good!Location is really close to the Woodland Park Zoo so I would highly recommend taking a quick trip over to it once you are done with your zoo trip.

Wan-Yu Wu: Awwww I love their custard puddings so much!!! Will go back again soon to try more dessert options 3

Nick Richards: Delicious. Nice to have dinner and dessert take out!

Allison McIntyre: My favorite sushi restaurant near my house. The staff is always very friendly and I love the desserts and drinks in the front.

Miki: My most favorite sushi restaurant in Seattle! I am always impressed by the fresh ingredients and great service! The presentation of each dish shows the thoughtfulness of the chefs. The knowledge of a long time waiter, Edward, is amazing and appreciated. This restaurant is on the pricey side so I usually go for special occasions, but when I do go, it’s worth every penny!Most recently, we ordered the 3 course dinner and had Bara sushi as our main dish. It was so fresh and beautiful!

RussKristi Kawasaki: It was nice when you used to be able to walk-in, but for good reason SKT has grown in popularity so I would recommend to always book a reservation or you may not get a table. It has a great mix of traditional sushi items, as well as unique offerings that we can't find elsewhere. We used to always order à la carte but recently tried the omakase and the slight variations are awesome.

Munch Kin: , we won't be able to come back again.My partner is allergic to msg and one of the people who worked in the kitchen warned us that they use msg in a lot of things. It never gave him issues before so we thought it would be okay.It seems they changed how they cook though. The food still tasted amazing, especially the sashimi and the Tuna on Snowshoe? I think that's what it's called. But there was also so much msg in the food that couldn't be separated from everything else that my partner got a nasty migraine. And this was with them aware of his allergy and changing what they could.This really does hurt because this was *our* place. It was one of our first dates and where I proposed to him. But I just can't put him through the migraines anymore.- - -OriginalAs amazing as ever! We had the Sushi-Ya and asked for sake to be paired with each dish. There's the option of more common dishes like tuna and salmon or more exotic dishes, and we chose a mix. They managed to have a great balance, though I don't recommend the exotic options unless you're feeling truly adventurous. Amongst seered cod and King Salmon sashimi, we had shrimp heads that had the exoskeleton removed

Maggie McLouth: After an incredibly difficult month and a half following the unexpected passing of my father, and going through this grief while in graduate school, my husband and I needed a nice evening out. We had been to Mashiko before, but it had been several years. We love Japanese food, and Mashiko in general, so we happily sprung for the sushi-ya omakase dinner with sake pairing. If I had video of the happy chair dance I did whenever Mat, our server, brought out our food, I would include it here. Everything was delicious, the sake pairings were excellent, and I was able to relax and have some quality time with my husband for the first time in a while. The restaurant is intimate but still private and not overly-loud. The food is fairly priced given the focus on sustainability. I have never had a bad experience here, but this one made me so happy I wanted to share. Eating good food can be a healing experience, and tonight it certainly was. Thank you Mat and the wonderful chefs!

Charley Wang: Between the pandemic and a new baby we had basically completely given up on having a really nice meal. We've eaten at Wa'z in the before times, so we thought we would give their $100 kaiseki take-out a try.It was amazing! Definitely the best meal we've had since the pandemic started.

Elise Sivilay: 5 Star Food, 5 Star Service - friendly, cheerful, affable. Front of house was superb. Presentation was very beautiful. I was enamored with the diverse sake glasses. Counter seats were a lot of fun from which to watch all the action. They made my friend's birthday very special. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go again. Kudos to Chef Hiro and team!

James Wald: so they didn't need any extra sauce. The Australian Wagyu NY Strip was cooked perfectly and was delightfully tender, with a nice grilled flavor. I didn't care for the potent sesame steak sauce. Overall, this is an impressive restaurant for the size and their attention to detail is noticed and appreciated.Dietary restrictions: No one asked, and it didn't seem like modifications would be made if requested

Anna Louie: We think the food is just alright and nothing too special. The service was also really mediocre as well. I do like the location, the ease of parking and the vibe of the restaurant, but I probably wouldn’t come back for the food alone. I have to say, though the happy hour menu is one of the best ones in Seattle if you’re looking for budget and quality.

Heather Wang: hoooooly all the food was SOOOOOO GOOD!!! every single bite was met with pure joy... so so so so so tasty. the service was unmatched- so friendly and attentive!!! it was like they could read my mind and knew what i needed before i asked. but honestly even if the service was bad i wouldnt care because the chef's talent is absolutely INSANE. the food... omg...... i cannot emphasize how YUMMY everything was. everything from the drinks to the desserts were so delicious. also everything is very fairly priced! my partner and i got the tasting course for $45 per person. with drinks our total came out to be around $120 without tip. when i left i had to unzip my pants because i was sooooo full. so worth the money!!! thank you guys so much and see you again soon! 😄😄😄😄💞

Catloverextreme _: and it was a pleasurable experience. Great modern jazz playing at a comfortable level on the speakers and pleasing lighting and ambiance. There were 2 servers and 2 chefs. The servers were so friendly and knowledgeable. The kitchen was open so you could watch the chefs prepare everything. I've cooked in this setup before in restaurants so my only gripe was at one point one of the chefs was on his phone...he used gloves while preparing the food but nothing will take me out of the moment and potentially gross me out more than a food service worker on their phone. Who knows, maybe he was checking his Bitcoin bag, it's been pumping lately, lol. I won't fault them for that, everyone is glued to their phone these days. This place is wildly awesome and I will be going back whenever possible. I'm not from the area, visit alot from Alaska so the neighborhood was not familiar to me but it was chill and safe feeling with other restaurants and bars. I was staying in the downtown area so it was about a 35 dollar uber ride one way. All in all 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

Cody Li: Came here on a night where reservations were all booked out, but luckily was still able to get a seat at the bar! The kabocha “chicken wings” tempura as an appetizer was amazing. Crunchy exterior just like chicken wings with a savory glazing. Kabocha itself is naturally mildly sweet so the flavors combined well. I ordered the Shrimo Bisque Seiro special and was thoroughly pleased! The soup had great umami and the soba had a nice consistency to dip it in, I needed to gulp the whole bowl of soup afterwards from how amazing it was!
