DOWNTOWN. Ask around, and you'll quickly discover that Wild Ginger is a definite Seattle favorite. The restaurant that introduced the satay bar to the US also welcomes an eclectic mix of business people, families, and celebrities. Fragrant Duck is the signature dish, but Pow Wok Lamb and Drunken Quail are excellent choices as well. The lively atmosphere is made even better by friendly servers and live jazz, which is a Monday night specialty. |

Come for terrific happy hour specials on sake and sushi from 4pm to 6pm and again from 10pm or 11pm until closing daily. The Japanese wine won't break your budget, and maki options like an indulgent Seattle Tempura Roll (salmon, avocado, and cream cheese, fried) are a steal at half price. Traditional Japanese entrees are updated and given new life, including standards like tempura and yakisoba. |

Description:
QUEEN ANNE. Chef Ken Yamamoto is the only chef in the state of Washington licensed to sell fugu, the potentially deadly (if not prepared correctly) Japanese blowfish. Whether you opt for this rare delicacy or one of the other carefully created entrees, you're assured of Ken's masterful hand in the exquisite textures and flavors on your plate. Choose from appetizers like kaki fry (deep-fried oysters) or gyoza, and main dishes like black cod with tempura, eel donburi, and salmon teriyaki. Shiki's sushi has a loyal following; sample toro nigiri, made with fatty tuna, or a crunchy shrimp tempura roll. |

Description:
QUEEN ANNE. Situation: you're craving sushi, your friends are clamoring for lo mein, moo shu pork, and pad thai. Solution: Chinoise Café. This Pan-Asian restaurant ignored the usual "one-cuisine" rule, and subsequently built up quite a following for itself. With nary a bad choice on the menu, you really can't go wrong, but favorites include sushi and sashimi dinners, tamarind basil seafood, and anything with Thai garlic sauce. Service is efficient and friendly, and there is a good selection of wine and sake. |

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. |
