One Hundred Years of Good Japanese Food
Maneki recently celebrated its 100th birthday, and it has been a favorite of mine since childhood. We were dining at Maneki in 1966, and saw Sonny and Cher dining there with Lan Roberts, famous KJR-AM disc jockey! Sonny and Cher were not in town for a concert, but for some reason were passing through. They knew good food then, and it’s still great. I actually kind of miss the old Japanese gentlemen smoking Mild 7s in the bar there. This place is homey and authentic and fine. Three tatami rooms to reserve, and a very intimate sushi bar. This place is very Seattle AND very Japanese. It’s really more Japanese than Le Pichet is French.
Dishes I tried:
Assorted Sushi
Always fresh and delightful.
