As questionable as Japanese-Mexican fusion might sound, Japonessa is kind of nailing it. Make a reservation, order some Bad Boy rolls (like spicy tuna rolls but battered and fried) and tempura brie for the table, and get a few rounds of mango sangria going. It’s a little touristy and nine out of ten times our sushi rolls completely fall apart and little grains of sticky rice and cucumber sticks end up all over the table, but it tastes great, there are exciting vibes aplenty, and it’s the perfect light-bite pregame.

Mezcaleria Oaxaca review image
Review

There’s a lot of good Mexican in Seattle, but Mezcaleria Oaxaca in Capitol Hill also has an excellent rooftop.

Review

We had high hopes for Adana, but the Japanese tasting menu is just all right. The cocktails are good, but you can find better elsewhere in Cap Hill.

Much like taxes and getting excited every time you can see Mt. Rainier, getting older is one of life's guarantees. You might as well celebrate it at one of these excellent restaurants.

Sushi Kanpai review image
Review

Sushi Kanpai is in the bottom of an apartment in First Hill, but don’t let that stop you from going. The sushi makes for a good weeknight dinner.
