Rondo Japanese Kitchen | Capitol Hill's Casual Japanese Eatery 🍣🍱
Our recent dinner at Rondo Japanese Kitchen (1914 E Olive Way, Seattle, WA 98112) offered a relaxed take on Japanese comfort food in Seattle's bustling Capitol Hill neighborhood. Here's our honest review: 📍 Location & Atmosphere: Rondo Japanese Kitchen, Seattle, WA (Located on busy Olive Way - vibrant neighborhood but can be chaotic outside） 💫 Friday Night Experience: • Arrived at 5:45PM on a Friday - already packed • Lively atmosphere with great energy • Cozy but slightly cramped seating 🍱 Menu Highlights & Honest Reviews: 🍚 Seafood Donburi ($29): • Generous portions with fresh seafood mix • Quality tuna with minor texture issue (unremoved sinew) • Solid choice for hearty eaters 🍜 Creamy Uni & Sweet Shrimp Udon: • Rich, comforting broth • Pleasant uni sweetness • Slightly oversalted - drink water between bites！ 🥢 Uni Cheese Tempura Roll: • Creative fusion concept • Unfortunately too rich for our palate • Seafood flavor got lost in the cheese 🍖 Pork Ribs: • Fall-off-the-bone tender • Sweet-savory glaze reminiscent of Chinese sweet-sour ribs • Love it or hate it flavor profile！ 🍙 Salmon & Ikura Don: • Similar quality to their signature rice bowls • Fresh salmon with vibrant roe • Reliable choice if you like salmon 💰 Value Assessment: • Total bill: $115 for 2 people • Portion sizes justify the pricing • Not cheap but fair for Capitol Hill #SeattleJapaneseFood #RondoReview #CapitolHillDining #JapaneseCasualEats #DonburiLovers #UdonExperience #SushiAlternatives #SeattleFoodScene #DinnerDateIdeas
