The well known Omakase experience in Seattle - Taneda! Super professional sushi making and top notch ingredients reservations are a bit hard to get.
For 8/9/25.
Service was great as always. There were 9 seats. 1) sweet corn from California made tofu style, Okinawan prawn and scallops of Hokkaido with dashi 2) Tairagai aka Japanese penshell and sous vide octopus. So tender. 3) Japanese eggplant paste s

WOW. Easily the best omakase I've ever had in Seattle, hands down. If I could come every month, I would... but let's be real, my bank account would not approve We originally had our anniversary dinner booked at Scratch, but they canceled

Top tier food and service! Had so many different types of fishes from Japan, very fresh. Best kaiseki in Seattle
For me the best restaurant in Seattle.
Comparable to 3 Michelin rated restaurants I have experienced around the world. You can tell that Taneda San spends plenty of thinking about the menu each season. His use of monk fish liver is to die for.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it sure can buy great sushi. I normally put some effort into my reviews, but in this case the restaurant does all the heavy lifting. There's nothing I can write that hasn't been included here be

Took forever to get reservations! But after eating here I see why! This was in the Top 10 meals over ever eaten. Pictures don't do this place justice.

Taneda Sushi is truly one of the best dining experiences in Seattle - if you can get a reservation. I had been trying for years, and thanks to a generous friend who noticed a last-minute cancellation, I finally got the chance to experience it. Someon
I tried numerous times to get a seat but was unsuccessful.
But a buddy had the secret sauce and I finally was able to go. It's tough to find and I was a bit late. Great fish, and a fun night. Its reputation is deserved and even though it's tough to get in, it's a destination event.

I went here a few days ago, and the waiters were rude, we asked for a cup of water and it took about 20 minutes for the water to get to our table, the food was kinda good but it had a long brown piece of hair in my FOOD, but the waiters are so rude,

[Went last year] First time experiencing such high end omakase. I think it turned out to be 23 courses. I loved how Chef Taneda comes up with a new menu every month based on what is in season. He explained that he video calls his providers in Japan

Updated that they no longer can accommodate gluten free, which is unfortunate. I am happy I was able to experience dining here and am hopeful that they have a gluten free option at some point in the future.

Pretty good, but not the best in Seattle
Staff are friendly and welcoming and the space, albeit small, is inviting. The restaurant is at the end of an alley and not easy to find. The menu is a combination of sushi omakase and a kaiseki meal. Overall it was a nice dinner, although some seafo

This should be an 8 star, 5 for yelp and 3 for Michelin! Chef Taneda is great himself, the staff are friendly, and they also have Kaiseki which makes things more fun and interesting. There are lots of different flavors and tastes that are on par with
I have been there two times.
Best sushi I had. Want to share with my family (have met since 2018) but really hard to get a seat.
Absolutely one of the best if not the best out there.
It is pricey now, basically $300 a seat, but to be honest it is so worth it for a special occasion. The food is amazing and top tier. One of the best experiences and I would love to go again when the next special occasion happens in my life. Everythi

AMAZING!!!! All I can say is, if I could get a reservation every month; I would!! Service: impeccable Chef: amazing Food: sublime Can't wait to go again.
Spectacular Omakase experience that is out of this world.
Words cannot describe. Yes, it is nearly impossible to get a reservation here. I got lucky after two months of trying to get in and being on the waitlist. After receiving a notification of a seat becoming available last minute the day before, I booke
Best restaurant in Seattle.
Taneda was super friendly and inviting. My wife and I had the best time. Food was amazing and every piece I had was delicious. Unlike sushi by scratch or Takai in Bellevue, you feel full after the experience

Y'all, this place actually lives up to the hype.
Every single dish was fantastic and kept getting better throughout the meal. Chef Taneda was incredibly personable, as was the other chef alongside him that night. There was so much attention to detail in every single dish - reflected both in taste a
Words really can't describe how amazing Taneda is.
The quality, the service, the alcohol options and sake pairings - everything was perfect. The omakase experience takes your palate on a journey that hits on everything from saltiness to sweet, from creamy to savory, from crunchy to smooth. My wife an

Good in Seattle but no a top-standard one if opened in Japan. Ingredients were fresh though.
This is my favorite Kaiseki restaurant.
It has been a long time since I've been back, due to how hard it is to get a reservation. I've tried other Kaiseki restaurants and Taneda is still the best. All the staff are super friendly and the food is fresh and delicious.

Excellent and unique omakase! A mix of sushi, sashimi and other cooked dishes. Chef Taneda does add his own style to a lot of the food and it's quite enjoyable. I would place this in a slightly different category from other more traditional predomin
Connect with users posting reservations for Taneda Seattle
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Taneda Seattle. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Taneda Seattle at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Taneda Seattle page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Taneda Seattle to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Taneda Seattle!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
