Kisaku

Kisaku, Tangletown

Date - February 14, 2009

Background - For Valentine's Day we decided to take a long walk from our house to Greenlake, once around and back with Morgan.  About half way around the lake we decided we were hungry and after exploring Greenlake and realizing there weren't any really good options, we pushed on to Tangletown to one of our favorite Seattle sushi spots.

Atmosphere - Fine for a neighborhood spot but nothing exceptional.  It's fairly large and has a sushi bar.

Service - Once you are seated it's respectable, but the hosting and busing needs some serious reworking.  We've probably eaten here close to ten times and have always had to wait sometimes for as long as 45 minutes.  Usually there are quite a few tables open, but they just need to be cleared - a bit frustrating when you are starving!

Drink- Some wine but if we get anything, it's usually house sake

Food - Great sushi - consistently exceptional salmon.  I always get a salad here too as it's really fresh and their ginger dressing is really good.  

Verdict - 4 stars.  Nearly as good as Nishino but walking (long walk) distance from our house.
