​​Rondo | Seattle Restaurant Week's Surprising Sushi Spot 🍣💰​​

Our experience with ​​Rondo​​ during Seattle Restaurant Week (4160 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA) revealed both the charms and shortcomings of this Capitol Hill favorite. Here's the honest breakdown: 📍 ​​Why We Love Rondo as a Daily Sushi Spot:​​ • Budget-friendly ($20-30 per person) • Quick service perfect for lunch breaks • Convenient Capitol Hill location (near UW, great bus access) • Easy parking available • Cozy, welcoming atmosphere • Accepts both walk-ins and reservations 🌸 ​​Restaurant Week Menu Review:​​ Verdict: Creative but not their best work 🍱 ​​Option 1: Seafood Rice Bowl (20Lunch/35 Dinner)​​ • Generous portions of tuna, salmon roe, and crab • Issues: Fish didn't taste fresh, rice quality disappointing • Restaurant's soy sauce was overly salty (dilute before use！) • Sashimi slices served separately were actually better • Miso soup had perfect salt balance 🍱 ​​Option 2: Beef Cheese Pasta & Wagyu Sushi (20/35)​​ • Hearty carb-heavy option • Pasta arrived slightly dry and cooled quickly • Flavor was decent despite temperature issues • Wagyu sushi impressed - quality similar to A5 grade • Downside: Not served hot-off-the-grill like their regular menu 🍣 ​​Additional Sashimi Order:​​ • Scallop and shrimp additions • Shrimp heads under-fried (should be crispier！) • Fish freshness was acceptable for the price 💭 ​​Nostalgic Comparison:​​ Remembering Rondo's classic wooden bucket rice bowls and tuna donburi... those were truly special！ #SeattleRestaurantWeek #RondoReview #BudgetSushi #CapitolHillEats #JapaneseFoodSeattle #DinnerUnder35 #SushiLovers #SeattleFoodie #HiddenGem #CasualDining
