Having recently returned from Japan, we were eager to relive some of the wonderful culinary experiences we had there, so we made reservations for a kaiseki dinner at Migaku. It was our first time dining here, and we were delighted by how exceptional the experience turned out to be. A few dishes really stood out throughout the meal. The fisherman’s stew was memorable, and the chawan mushi was a lovely example of the care and finesse that make Japanese cuisine so special. We also particularly enjoyed the well-marinated sardines, which were full of flavor. The sukiyaki with Wagyu beef was a true highlight. It was rich, luxurious, and such a treat to experience. What made the evening especially enjoyable was the opportunity to revisit the flavors of Japan and appreciate the thoughtfulness behind a kaiseki meal. Migaku made a wonderful first impression, and we left feeling that we had discovered a special place for Japanese cuisine in Seattle. We would happily return for another memorable meal. Gochisousama deshita!

What an incredible experience. We've been for a birthday and an anniversary. This is the most incredible experience and dare I say one of the top meals in my life. Chef Jun and his staff are incredible at what they do. From entry to exit this is just so well thought out. We went again last night after years away and it still takes the cake. For a special occasion try the counter omakase and you won't regret it.

Simply just a great experience all around. From the initial phone call, the hostess and waiter. We really enjoyed this experience. While the restaurant was busy it never felt as though the waiter too too long to tend to us. The support staff took finished plates and also refilled our water frequently. 10/10 experience.
