In the top 3 Japanese restaurants in Seattle. Totally unique dishes and superb sushi. Ask your server for recommendations on Japanese whisky or sake, and get a tasting if they are offering it.

Single Shot restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service outstanding without being intrusive, and the food, absolutely scrumptious. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re coming for a casual dinner or a special occasion, it’s clear the kitchen takes pride in every plate. Highly recommended!
