🍣 Seattle Restaurant Week: Japanese Gem Sankai in Edmonds 🌊

Kicked off 2025 Spring Seattle Restaurant Week at Sankai, a cozy Japanese spot in Edmonds. Here’s the full scoop! 🍱 Restaurant Week Menu Highlights 🍡 Mochi in Crab Sauce Top pick! Crispy-fried mochi + lump crab meat in savory broth—chewy, crunchy, umami-packed. Uniquely delicious! 🐟 Tuna on Da Crack Surprise hit! Usually skip tuna, but the zingy, spicy-sour sauce made it memorable. 🎣 Miso-Cured White King Salmon Premium fish, sadly wasted on a sad plating—3 slices + pickled peppers in a dingy bowl. 😒 🐙 Garlic Octopus (with King Oyster Mushrooms) Tender, bouncy octopus + earthy mushrooms—a standout appetizer! 🍣 Chirashi Bowl Decent vinegared rice, but only 8 slices of fish? Whelming. 💰 Omakase Sushi (+$15) Fresh, but meh cuts (even used sockeye salmon—really?). Not worth the upcharge. 🍰 Japanese "Soufflé" Cheese Cake (Off-Menu) Fluffy cheesecake ≠ soufflé. Tasty but false advertising! 💸 Price Check $50/$65 per person (before tax/tip) Final bill: $80+ pp No real "RW deals"—might even be a scam. 🌿 Vibe & Location ✅ Chill, intimate space (easy weekday reservations) ✅ Prime Edmonds spot—near the ferry, shops, and waterfront. Perfect for a post-meal stroll! 🅿️ Street parking = breeze ✨ Verdict Good fish quality, but Restaurant Week menu feels lazy for the price. Skip if you want value—but worth a try if you're already in Edmonds! 📍 Sankai 📌 Near Edmonds Ferry Terminal #SeattleEats #JapaneseFood #RestaurantWeek #EdmondsEats #SushiLovers #HiddenGems
