We stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to eat late in the evening and to my surprise they were one of the latest places open in the downtown area. They also offer all you can eat as well.
There is signage in the restaurant that shows that an all you can eat option is available but you have to ask to get it enabled at your table. As you order from the QR code from your table. The app will tell you how much time you have left and when you can place your next order.
The menu is quite large; they have the usual chicken offerings and some beef and pork offerings. For vegetables there’s mushroom, okra and peppers. What’s nice is they also offer ramen, udon, soba, gyudon, and katsu curry.
We started off with the daikon salad. It was fine as is. I thought the salad was quite bitter. I think slightly pickling or incorporating the dressing more would have helped combat the bitterness. I’m not sure if that is how it is usually served or if just happened to be our serving.
For the skewered dishes you have a choice for sauced or salted versions and they’re both good. Order your sauces of preference within the first ordering batch so it can make it with your meal.
I couldn’t tell if the meat was cooked on coal or gas when I looked at the grill, but I did think some of the meat could have stayed on a little longer brown a little more and to carmelize with the sauce more to add extra flavor.
We were unsure of how many items to order and the quickness of them coming out. We ordered a few skewer per person and did not feel like we had to wait a long time. Our table had mostly water it would have been nice to have a pitcher at our table. The staff was limited and we tried not to bother them as much as we knew they were servicing the whole restaurant.
We will likely come back again the next time we visit the relatives. We thought it was a nice treat.

Wonderful experience here! Delicious food- all of it. You scan a QR code to order which was nice. You can add food or dessert anytime as well. Our favorite were the meat skewer variety plate and the cheesecake! Soooo good.

What a beautiful place to have a delucious dinner in Seattle. I love the lamps, music, and colourful bottles filled with Japanese treasures. I’m a fan of unagi and this was the best I’ve ever tried. The presentation of the Yakitori unagi bento is great and offers a nice combination of flavours. I’ll definitely get sesame oil for my salads from now on. I was feeling adventurous today and tried the Taiyaki matcha ice cream. A warm happy fish filled with a delish red bean paste was swimming in this amazing dessert. Thanks, Asher!

This was the evening post Christmas Eve, there isn’t a line at opening time, because people were waiting in their cars for the opening! And I was one of them.
Love the grilled unagi. Good quality and good sauce. Like the udon but after a long day of flight, I only wanted the hot broth!
Love the sake and the flight.
The bartender seems to assume I know nothing about Sake … he presented it wrong and when asked … his answers were also wrong! Nice kid thought!

Their menu has various food options that fit all 8pp in our party’s food preference. Price is reasonable in Seattle. I enjoyed my tobiko creamy udon and chirashi donburi. A special note is our server is a very nice lady with lots of patience with my hard to deal with kid. Dispite she is the only server on the floor, but her service was not lacking at all.

Absolutely amazing! We went for family dinner and all ordered the creamy Udon. It was delicious—definitely a must-try. It’s an authentic Japanese restaurant, just like being in Japan. We loved every dish!
I also tried the Sake flight and was very satisfied. It was so good, I felt like I could actually fly! ✈️

You can scan to view the menu and order through your phone. Food will come pretty fast and very tasty. Chirashi bowl was fresh and yummy

I love Izakayas, and specifically ones that offer sake and skewers. I could just eat skewers all day long. Good place for a date or just to relax and have a few drinks.

We visited on a Monday night and the restaurant was extremely quiet, which made the atmosphere feel a bit flat. Service was limited due to phone-based ordering, and the food was just average.

The food was unfortunately the most disappointing part of the evening. Having been to Japan before, I can say this didn’t feel like a proper izakaya experience. Most dishes lacked flavor, and the eel in particular was unusually tough. For the price point—around $150 for two people—it was all very underwhelming.
The service felt impersonal and disconnected. Everything had to be ordered through an app, even small requests like wasabi, which made it frustrating to communicate with staff. Our servers only came by when dropping off food, never checked on us, and didn’t offer drink refills or to-go boxes unless we asked. On top of that, whenever we had a question, we were often cut off mid-sentence with, “You have to go through the app,” before we could even finish speaking. It was hard not to notice that other tables received more friendly and conversational service, which made the lack of attention at ours stand out even more.
The one redeeming factor was the atmosphere. The interior design and overall aesthetic were beautiful—it genuinely felt like being in Japan—and the background music was at a perfect volume. It’s a shame the service and food didn’t match the inviting environment.
Manzoku Izakaya has a lovely ambiance but falls short where it matters most: food and service. While I understand that using an app can help streamline orders in a busy setting, it shouldn’t come at the expense of genuine hospitality or attentiveness. And before anyone asks whether I brought up the issues that night with management—I didn’t. It was late, we’d had a long day, and after such a disappointing experience, we honestly just wanted to leave, pay, and go home.
