Affordable Japanese Cuisine in Seattle

📍 Rondo Japanese Kitchen 💰 Average cost: $35🔪 I came here once during Labor Day but ended up facing a closed door. This time, I made a point to visit on the weekend with my girls, and it was such a pleasant surprise! Ton-katsu Teishoku My sister ordered the pork cutlet, expecting a small portion, but it was super size! It came with both BBQ and sweet and sour sauces, plus a small bowl of sesame seeds to grind yourself - a full experience. Uni & seafood creamy maze-udon Absolutely loved it! Delicious and not greasy! The creamy sauce coated every strand of udon, and the noodles had a great chew. The coral shrimp and uni were super fresh and sweet. The seafood here is quite fresh. Even as someone who doesn’t usually enjoy sashimi, I have to admit it was tasty. Matcha granola I was conquered again by the matcha ice cream! The texture was incredibly rich 🤤 with a creamy milk flavor and a rich, sweet matcha jelly. The crystal dumplings were soft and delicate, and the granola at the bottom was sweet and crispy. The whole thing wasn’t too heavy either 🍵 We also ordered a $9 mini sushi, which we thought would be large but turned out to be super mini, served in a shot glass. I found it just okay and wouldn’t recommend it. The only nitpick is that the matcha ice cream was served in a paper cup 🧁, which seemed a bit too casual 😂. It would have looked so much better in a glass cup. #Seattle #SeattleLife #SeattleFoodExploration #JapaneseCuisine #JoinMeForADiningAdventure #SeattleFood #Uni #SeattleJapaneseFood
