Wann Japanese Izakaya

4.3

About this business

Izakaya means informal in Japanese, these restaurants are found all over the cities and is a good place to relax after a hard and tiring day. Wann Japanese Izakaya offers different types of food such as sashimi, tempura and yakitori that go well with sake, beer or shochu. People sitting at a table share food; that's how informal the place is and makes the experience very different from other places. Elegant, stylish decor with informal settings makes it the place to be for a great dining experience.

Excellent food! – We went last weekend and were blown away by the food here. We arrived at around 6:30pm on Saturday, no need for reservations. Nice restaurant, not a pub style place at all. Beef tataki and tempura brie were just amazing! Really refined, elegant dishes. Everything we ordered was fanastic. I really hope this place sticks around for a while. Our waitress was very nice. We had to wait a little bit to order, so when our bill arrived she stated that because of that, our drinks were on the house, which was a nice ... read more

Absolutely great place to relax, have some good food and drinks. – This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. The service is great and the food has been excellent. There are a variety of non traditional dishes here, from Kobe beef tongue, to Salmon roe stuffed fried fish. They have a variety of sakes, and a Japanese styke vodka called Shochu. The ambience is absolutely relaxng. I would highly recommend this restaurant, for anyone in the mood to try some great japanese food.

Authentic – Great food...my favorite is the beef tataki! The prices are very reasonable, especially for being in Belltown. I talked to one of the managers and found out that the chefs are all from Japan and don't speak English (I'm not sure how much more authentic you can get than that). Great decor, service varies depending on who you get, and the presentation is amazing.

When they say spicy, they mean it! – I came here with a friend, and was pleasantly surprised at the tastes I was able to indulge in. I ordered a couple of small dishes that the server warned me would be spicy (oh come on, I eat spicy food all the time! Bring it on!)...well they were. Really spicy. And I won't even say that I was upset about it...but usually someone will tell you that, and then you pump yourself up to get ready for a super-spicy meal, and it's nothing of the sort. They definitely live up to the expectation. T... read more

Not exactly casual, but so darn good! – So I guess "izakaya" refers to a casual after-work hang-out, but this place looks so fancy inside! Maybe that's why it hasn't found its fan-base yet. It's a pity. The food is great. Really great. I've been several times (I work across the street) and have not been disappointed yet. But it's never busy. I hope they make it. This is the most extensive japanese menu I've come across (definitely NOT just sushi) and they've also got an incredibly diverse and original drink menu thanks to Ja... read more

The Best Place Hidden on the Edge of Belltown – I've had my eye on Wann since it opened last year but was reluctant to go because of turn-off reviews I had read. However, I decided to give it a shot since I was terribly unsatisfied with all the other places in Belltown with mediocre ambience and crappy sushi. In a nutshell, I was shocked at how good their food and drinks were! My friends and I tried their house salad, chicken tatsu something (basically really good fried chicken), daikon gratin with sesame and miso sauce, sho... read more

Best Spicy Tuna Roll – Great Happy Hour! 5 happy hour dishes, 2 alcoholic drinks, green tea, and some juice came out to < $40. Original drinks, elegant dishes, and cold japanese beer on tap make this a favorite of mine. Plus they have the best spicy tuna roll I've ever had and I've been to ALOT of sushi places. Ambience is chill/romantic. This is a great group and date place.

Elegant Izakaya – Apparently Izakaya in Japan is more like pub food - inexpensive small plates for an informal after-work bite. Wann is not quite that. It's somewhat expensive, or at least in the same price range as other Japanese restaurants, and the decor is quite elegant. It would be fine to go with a group, but it is also somewhere you might take a date. I think this is a really nice addition to the Japanese restaurants in Belltown, which are more sushi oriented. I was not familiar with a lot of the dishes so it was kind... read more

Japanese Comfort Food – It's not the sort of Izakaya that I expected. It wasn't smoky enough, rowdy enough, loud enough. I've always associated Izakayas with pub grub and atmosphere, but Wann is decidedly upscale in decor and culinary presentation. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. A fair number of menu items can't be found anywhere else in Seattle. The cocktails are pricey but top notch - subtle, not too sweet. Cheaper and better option to Umi Sake House.
