Food and desserts are always delicious! Sushi tastes extremely yummy and fresh all the time. I ate here on my birthday in 2024 and they gifted me a matcha soft pastry. Service is great, they are so friendly.
I would recommend getting a reservation, so you can skip the waiting time (it’s usually busy).

My visits to Tamari Bar have always been a worthwhile experience!
It has been a while since I last visited, so the menu may have changed slightly, but based on what I ordered before, everything was consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared. This place tends to get packed, so I recommend making reservations ahead of time.
• Sashimi “7” Sampler
Includes maguro, sockeye salmon, Atlantic salmon, tako, hotate, hamachi, and ebi. Everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. Absolutely worth the price! Highly recommended!
• Shokado Bento Box
A great way to sample a variety of appetizers. My personal favorites were the uni shooter, fried oyster, and tuna tatsuta. All were delicious!
• Dan Dan Ramen
Rich and flavorful.
• Spider Bao (HH)
Fried soft-shell crab with teriyaki and black pepper aioli. Decent, though slightly over-fried for me.
• Saba-O (HH)
Sweet miso–marinated fried mackerel in a bun — flavorful, unique, and highly recommended!
• Aburi-Tamari Bar Sushi Roll (HH)
A fantastic happy hour deal! Seared fish topped with miso aioli, jalapeño, tobiko, and sesame soy dressing. Fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommended.
• Desserts: Panna Cotta + Kurogoma, Matcha Crème Brûlée, Hoji-Tea Flan
All were well executed and not overly sweet. You really can’t go wrong with any of them.
Even though it’s been some time since my last visit, Tamari Bar left a strong impression. The food was excellent, the service was attentive, and the overall experience was memorable. Definitely worth checking out!

Really nice place for some delicate Japanese food! Great atmosphere. All dishes are full of flavor with well-chosen and cooked ingredients. Stone grill beef is a must-have. The curry is also super flavorful and comes in decent serving size. Recommend for friends gathering and after-work drinks!

Super friendly service, great vibes, and tasty food! Their curry was the highlight for me. Huge portion and super flavorful. Can’t really go wrong with anything on the menu though.

Food is varied and delicious. I loved everything we got. The menu is not extensive but it has a lot of different stuff and I felt like we had a broad variety of types of food which I loved—sushi, fried chicken, steak bites, noodles, and veggies. Preparations were interesting and high quality, but not fancy just really tasty. Definitely a fun and relaxed dining experience. The chair was not very comfortable. Upgrading the furniture just a bit seems like an easy opportunity to improve the experience.

Sat at the bar for happy hour. Bartender suggested the 206 ramen and it was fantastic. Just spicy enough but not too much. Add the donuts. Savory and light, perfect to dip in the curry. Also had the tamari bar roll. Super fresh. Overall really cool vibe and great staff. 10/10 would recommend and come back.

Tamari Bar in Seattle is the kind of place you hope still exists. Loud enough to feel alive, polished enough to feel intentional, and unapologetically fun. This is not a quiet sushi counter. This is an experience, and it leans into it with confidence.
We were lucky enough to snag seats at the bar and I cannot stress this enough: make a reservation. Watching the choreography behind the bar is half the pleasure. The energy is upbeat, social, and unmistakably celebratory. This is sushi with swagger.
Our bartender was one of those rare professionals who actually listens. He steered us through the menu with precision and enthusiasm, and he was absolutely right about everything. Trust the staff here. They know what they’re doing.
The drink program deserves its own applause. An excellent selection of sakes and beers, thoughtfully curated and well-balanced, alongside standout cocktails that feel purpose-built for the food. One highlight was the Hi-Tori: a Toki Highball or chu-hi served with three pieces of their signature fried chicken. Crisp, juicy, and deeply satisfying, it’s playful, indulgent, and exactly the kind of pairing that makes sense once you try it.
This was an elevated sushi experience that still knows how to have a good time. The hand rolls arrive looking like the most decadent tacos you’ve ever seen. Crisp nori, warm rice, and fillings so fresh they practically vibrate. The yellowtail tuna belly with uni and unagi was an explosion of flavor: rich, briny, sweet, buttery, finished with that irresistible seaweed crunch. A perfect bite that doesn’t overthink itself.
The buta bao with braised pork belly glazed in a sweet balsamic soy sauce was deeply comforting, sticky, and indulgent in all the right ways.
Then there was The Best Bite and the name is not an exaggeration. Seared wagyu zabuton nigiri topped with uni, delicate yet decadent, melting into the rice like it had nowhere else to be. Rich without being heavy. Luxurious without being precious.
The Tamari Bar sushi roll itself was impossibly fresh, clean, and balanced, the kind of roll that reminds you why simplicity still matters when the ingredients are this good.
This is absolutely a party-leaning, happy, high-energy environment. Come here ready to eat, drink, laugh, and stay longer than planned. It’s the kind of place where one round turns into three, where you order “just one more” and mean it every time.
Tamari Bar doesn’t just serve sushi. It serves momentum.

One of my favorite places in Capitol Hill, maybe in all of Seattle. I love how fun and interesting the menu is, and every single bite I eat here is always exploding with flavor — even in simple dishes, like the miso soup and cabbage salad. They also have one of the best Japanese curries around, their famous area 206 curry. But what really makes this place stand out is their happy hour, it’s got to be one of the best deals in town. From $13 for a toki highball plus karaage, to $22 for the tora gozen, a sampler platter of sashimi and other goodies, to $8 cocktails! It’s just so rare to find the trifecta and Tamari Bar has it: excellent food, excellent service, and excellent prices. Oh, and the vibes are great, too. Most recently, we watched My Neighbor Totoro while chowing down, and it was perfection.
All that to say, this place is awesome. If you like Japanese food, especially izakaya-style, you’ve got to check this place out.

Lives up to the hype – every dish was top notch & crave-able. Super flavorful curry & sauces – each bite well balanced AND packing a punch. We had 7 items on the Happy Hour menu – our top 3: 206 Curry, Nanban Popcorn Chicken, Bao (pork belly & soft-shell crab). Fair prices & excellent service – observant, efficient, and kind. Highly recommend.

Wow this place is definately worth a try! I stopped in with a group of friends and ordered a sampler from their appetizers (mix of sashimi, crab cakes, and veg options) their spicy ramen and two sushi rolls and they were all excellent. I’d highlight recommend sharing a few dishes family style to try their various menu items – they even brought out multiple bowls for us to share the ramen. Great service and experience overall!
