    Nishino never disappoints! I've never had a bad meal there and it's one of my favorite places to take people new to Seattle.

    No understanding of food allergy issues. Served food containing an allergen after specifically asking to check with kitchen. No apology from chef. Will not dine there again.

    Very disappointed. Nishino was our favorite sushi place in Seattle, but no longer. Tasting menu was just a huge disappointment with orders that were lacking imagination and basic thought.

    Nishino omakase is a not to miss. This place consistently turns out food with amazing flavors. The depth of complex flavors in each item they serve is beyond description. Unfortunately I am unable to afford to eat here regularly but consider it one of my all time favorites so I schedule a special occasion here. Congrats to Nishino for its 20+ years of wowing Seattle with authentic cullinary works of art.

    We arrived and our table was completely set and ready. The attention to the birthday cake and candles was perfectly done. Accommodating our group which expanded a few folks was professionally attended to with immediacy. Thanks. Great service, great sushi, fabulousappetiers of tempura beans and eggplant dish was very tasty! We'll be back!

    Nishino is just about our favorite Seattle restaurant for special occasions. This visit we had their anniversary "omekase" with a sake and wine paring. Every bite and sip was delicious.

    Three friends and I had a delightful evening. The wait staff was super attentive (my water glass was continuously filled!) and the food was innovative and delicious. (I have never liked oysters but we went through 2 orders of them!) Portions were a little on the small side, though, so we sometimes needed to order several of the same dish. Still, I thought the bill was reasonable for all we had. We just ordered a bunch of appetizers and spent the entire evening there grazing. It was bright and clean and I would definitely go back...in fact, looking forward to it.

    Great ambiance, amazing sushi. We had never been to Nishino before and that was our loss! The sushi was so fresh, and the service impeccable. I'm glad we made reservations, because it got really busy shortly after we arrived. Quality sushi is expensive, period. So while our tab was on the higher side, we felt like we got great value. We'll be back.

    We loved the food and the service. The only negative: it is noisy and hard to listen to the conversation at our table.
