Our first time there even after living in Seattle for over 10 years and regret not going sooner! If you have an Amex Platinum, this is one of the places you can use the quarterly Resy credit if you book through Resy.
Server was amazing and we ordered 3 of his recommendations: hamachi, salmon crispy rice and the black cod marinated with miso which was the STAR of the show (and we ended up ordering 2). We also enjoyed chef’s omakase and the tempura! Can’t wait to be back!

Pretty good. Quality fish. But takeout portions are very, very small. See my photo of three bite-sized pieces of spinach ($10), and pathetic Brussels. Willing to give it another chance, but will opt to dine-in next time with hope that the experience is better. Simply not high quality enough for three people to remain hungry after $200 (no drinks). On the fence about this place (mainly because I WANT to like it because it’s in the neighborhood). There are so many sushi spots in Seattle that nail the value/quality ratio. Remains to be seen if Nishino is one of them.

A hidden gem – Nishino boasts excellent service and such kind chefs and owners! Definitely a little expensive compared to other sushi spots in the city but I can say I’ve never had fresher fish before. Omakase was a great deal as well. Great for a special occasion or date night.

What an experience! The server worked with the chef to tailor our experience.. seriously!! We had six courses of heaven and I absolutely loved every bite and every minute. I’ve not experienced anything like it before. It was completely evident that every piece of food had been carefully thought out so that it was perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious. It’s expensive, and we’ll worth it!

Sushi was fantastic. Sashimi chefs choice was really good, but be prepared for sticker shock.
Yellowtail hamachi was literally so good. Highly recommend. I’d eat an entire dinner of this if possible.
Tempura oysters were not great. The tempura was too light to make the dish balanced- the oysters kept falling apart with the fry.
Ambiance is definitely higher end- a great special occasion area (~100/person with apps drinks and sushi)
Service was great too.

Best sushi in Seattle. At least that’s what we think. Have been going since years. Quality levels stayed excellent during all the time. Very friendly assertive service. Sushi is authentic Japanese. No bells and whistles. Just plain fresh fish and perfect preparation. Menu changes frequently and tries to source pacific northwestern local ingredients. Highly recommend.

The food is as good as before. The fish is very fresh. Our kids love the udon and the California roll, and we ordered an extra one. The server is very nice and patient. It’s my fourth time here and still highly recommended.

The food at Nishino is of the upmost quality, but their staff is even higher notch.
We called very last minute in hopes of reservation for our anniversary, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Due to multiple accidents, we were about 5 minutes late, called and let them know, and when we arrived they were still super sweet. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic, nigiri and sashimi were of very high quality and the shrimp dumplings were to die for.
At the end of the evening we ordered desert and they brought out a small servicing on Mochi and a candle for our anniversary. We had only mentioned it once in passing on the phone, but they remembered.
As we left, the hostess, chefs and servers all said goodbye and wished us a happy anniversary.
We both left with huge smiles and had the most amazing time.
We will be back again our next time in Seattle. ❤️

Specialty dishes are unconventionally delicious, I like the crab roll and spicy tuna tartare in particular, one of a kind, savory but not overwhelming. We also had various nigiri, like uni, sweet shrimp, toro, etc, very fresh, tastes warm (even the seared scallop). The soy sauce is a bit too salty though.

Had an amazing 1st experience here. The sushi nigiri just got better and better as the night progressed.
Items to note: Miso Clam soup , wagyu Nigiri and uni nigiri
Great service. Reserve early as it get noisy later in the evening.
