206-935-4339 | | | | | Description: WEST SEATTLE. Mashiko is not your traditional sushi bar. Spare decor features blonde woods and a saltwater aquarium, and the chef is given the privilege of music selection. But if you come in with a good attitude and your sense of humor intact, you're certain to enjoy the experience, not least of all because of the incredible sushi. Large portions are an immediate appeal, and the fresh taste of yellowtail, eel, and sea urchin will have you sold. A variety of rolls expands your options, and bento boxes are available if you want to ease the decision-making process. Sushi is definitely the draw, but you'll also find tempura dishes and other cooked entrees. Great sake and donburi too.
