How to Get a Reservation at Sushi Kashiba in Seattle
Sushi Kashiba takes dining-room reservations online while the omakase counter is the prize and the hardest to land. The way in is booking early or catching a cancellation.
The short answer
Sushi Kashiba, master Shiro Kashiba's celebrated sushi destination near Pike Place Market, splits into two experiences: a dining room you can reserve online and the coveted omakase counter, where Shiro and his team work directly in front of you. The counter is the prize and by far the harder seat.

Dining room versus the omakase counter
Reserve the dining room online a set number of days ahead. The omakase counter has far fewer seats and is the most contested. Some nights, early walk-ins can get counter spots, but it is unreliable. Confirm the current booking method for each on the live listing, since policies change.
- Book the dining room the moment your date enters the rolling window.
- For the counter, be ready at release and watch for cancellations in the final 48 hours.
- If walking in for the counter, arrive at or before opening, ideally on a weeknight.
The best strategy for Sushi Kashiba
If the counter is the goal, flexibility plus continuous monitoring is the difference maker. A weeknight counter seat opens far more often than a Saturday one, and cancellations surface close to the date.

Frequently asked
How do I book the omakase counter at Sushi Kashiba?
Counter seats are limited and contested. Be ready when the booking window opens, watch for cancellations, and confirm the current method on the live listing. Early walk-ins are occasionally possible but unreliable.
Is the dining room easier than the counter?
Yes. The dining room books on a rolling window online and is meaningfully easier to land than the small omakase counter, which is the most sought-after seat.
