Reviews for Kokkaku in Seattle, WA
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! This Japanese restaurant is FANTASTIC. The food was out of this world and the staff were the absolute... best. I will definitely be making this a frequent stop for dinner when I'm in town. You should, too! Read more
The food and the ambiance was just lovely and if you love a good steak I definitely recommend to try the American Wagyu. The... staff was also super helpful and friendly. Will come back again, hopefully in the near future:) Read more
Overall I had a great dinner here! The food was very good. Caesar salad was very good for being a Caesar salad- they put their... own twist on it and tasted great. Uni spaghetti was delicious as was the American NY steak. We opted to get a side of mashedpotatoes since I read so many reviews about them, and it was definitely worth the extra $5! Creamy deliciousness. I’m onlyknocking off a star because they were a bit slow on service even though the restaurant was half empty.They were were veryfriendly staff though. It seemed like more of an issue in the back of the house and how fast they were cooking vs the front ofthe house. Definitely worth coming back at some point. Read more
We tried out most of the items on restaurant week menu with a big group. Overall highly recommend the salmon carpaccio appetizer... and squid ink spaghetti! The ice cream of the day was really good too. Other items are tasty but don’t particularly stand out.The rice salad is served with cold rice which I’m not a fan. Wagyu linguine is decent. The three steaks are good too butdon’t I’m not particularly amazed by them. The vanilla pudding is a little too sweet to taste Read more
Great food and experience overall despite the kitchen mishap. Came here for our 4th anniversary at 7pm and turned into our... longest ever dinner at 2.5 hours (I devour my food in 5 min on average) because the entrees showed up at 9pm. Don’t think anyother table had long waits (3 tables who came after us got their entrees before we did), so we just had bad luck. Turns out theyran out of the cowboy ribeye; but that should’ve been solved way faster even so. Food quality was great and service wasawesome even before the waiter and waitress had to make up for the situation. Would give them another try. Read more
This is our favorite and go to spot because it hits all the marks: - food is delicious and such a high quality - atmosphere is... relaxed and warm - service is top notch It’s a quaint restaurant (maybe 8-10 tables) and is definitely meat focused (Wagyu,steak, etc). They have salads, pasta, non traditional sushi, and really unique spins on classic desserts. How they do the flavorcombos I’ll never understand but it’s phenomenal. If you weren’t too sure about dinner they have an awesome happy hour andthe drinks are also really good. We’ve come here eight or so times and have no complaints. Chef, you’re doing a fabulousjob!! Ps. Their menu changes from time to time so something you had last time may not be there in the future Read more
This place is indeed the best steak house in Seattle. The food quality and customer service and the waitress comes and checks on... my table all the time to make sure I don't need anything. I loved the fact that I never had to raise my hand or even look atthe waitress to ask for service. I also loved the tasty food they have. I believe this place is a fantastic place for finedining to take your loved ones and family. Make sure you try their Wagyu beef as the beef literally melts in your mouth, alsothe way they delivered the starters, then the main dish and the absolute great timing before the main course then appetizerswere absolutely great. Its a must try and I am definitely coming back to this location ???? Read more
Do not recommend for SRW. They WAY overbooked themselves. They have one bartender, one server, and one hostess for the entire... restaurant. We were there for 2.5 hours in a pre-fixed menu for Seattle restaurant week. Multiple tables around us had to get upto ask for checks. One table literally left to go get ice cream because they had waited so long just for theirappetizers! Their focus food-wise is on making something instagrammable, not flavorful. I will compliment them on the wagyusteak flavor, but it was tough and difficult to cut. We asked for 2 steaks medium rare and one medium and she brought 2 mediumand 1 med rare. When we told her it was wrong she just stared at us like one of us needed to get over it and take the secondmedium, which we eventually did since it had been and hour and 40 minutes. The onion soup was bland. The tuna tartare was bland.The desserts we had to take to-go because we’d been there for over 2 hours at that point. The service was just not there. Ourwaitress didn’t pay any attention to us or anyone else for that matter. I had to get up and ask someone when our main coursewas coming because we’d been there for 90+ minutes and still hadn’t seen it. Then when we finally did finish eating, thewaitress literally asked if it was time for the check before bringing dessert even though the entire SRW menu is basic andshe’d served 50 of them that night and another woman had to tell her no, they have dessert coming. The bartender was so busybussing tables that he wasn’t making or pouring drinks, so we waited over 20 minutes for our first round. No surprise - wedidn’t order a second, not that the waitress even noticed our glasses were empty. And honestly, I can’t even blame thestaff because they were totally overwhelmed, but the management should know better than to book that many reservations with sofew people working. Just don’t go for restaurant week. They’re probably better normally. Read more
