Always love visiting. Food is incredible and the service is always top notch. Feels almost comforting and old school -- genuine kindness and hospitality. Wish food was a little more affordable, but the prices are on par with the rest of Seattle, so it's not the restaurant's fault.

If you're looking for an authentic sushi experience this is the place for you. We've dined here many times but this was our first time at the Chefs table for Omakase. I have had sushi at a lot of places and this was by far one of the best Omakase experiences I have ever had.

Tulio is our go-to anniversary dinner location, we have been there many times and they always remember us, treat us very well, including reserving our favorite table. The food is always so well prepared. The apple granita over ginger cream after dinner was incredible, as were the special of large scallops and the New York steak, for which they adjusted the sides to my husband's requests.
