So nice to finally get authentic Japanese dining experience and I don't mean the sushi. Vi Bacchus offers authentic Japanese (Izakaya) version of the well known "tapas" so loved by many Seattle area diners. There are many Izakaya dishes to choose from and you will not be disappointed. The large variety and wonderful taste will make you feel that you have had a full meal, but with the joy of satisfying all your taste buds. You will enjoy all the famous Izakaya plates your heart desires. From Hiyayakko (chilled tofu topped with ginger and bonito flakes), to Kalaou (seaweed tossed with sesame and citrus dressing), to Agedashi tofu, Gyoza, Ika fry, Tempura, amazing edamame, several noodle dishes, delicious well prepared vegetables, beef tataki, oysters and muscles prepared in many different ways, and Tokyo style fried chicken to mention a few. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming especially with the vibrant characters and warmth of the owner, Takashi Nishioka (Taka) and his wife Emiko. They have an amazing talent preparing and presenting their delicious menu items. It is a great place for an intimate dinner date, or small group experience. Service is outstanding and portions are substantial. There are many authentic Japanese beverages to compliment the food: Green tea, soft drinks, largest and best Sake selection, beer, wine, and amazing Japanese style vodka (Shochu). If you are looking for exceptional sushi and sashimi, Vi Bacchus offers very fresh and large selection of all sorts of sushi plates. This is definitely one of the best in the Seattle area. Best of all, their menu is priced affordably considering the overall experience and variety of foods to choose from. I would recommend this place to all my friends, especially those who appreciate authentic eating and look for a unique experience.

Pros: Service, food quality, portions, and selection.

Editor's Review

Sushi comes to the south end of Capitol Hill, tucked into the coziest corner of the Harvard Market.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Right across the street is the Garage, a great bowling alley and billiards room; it's also a great location before films or theater events at the Broadway Performance Hall or Egyptian Theater.
