We were seated at our reservation time at a premium table. Our waitress was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and efficient. Salad was unique and very flavorful. Small plate to share at Nichol’s recommendation, of scallops was outstanding. Main courses were again unique, flavorful, and exquisite. Desert was to die for. Best meals we’ve had, ever, in Seattle! Can’t wait to return.

Been here a few times and always order the same items. The fried chicken appetizer and pork belly entree has been stellar each time. My husband gets the coulotte steak each time and complains to me every time that it's not barely warm. For a $40 entree, that's disappointing. Doubt he's game to go to Sophon again. Lovely restaurant and great service though

I love going to omakase experiences and this one didn’t disappoint. There was so much food and the quality was great for the price. My brother and I got the mid-priced menu set and were very satisfied with it. My brother is a foodie and gives this place a 9.85 out of 10 and I agree wholeheartedly. Please support this new business and try it out! Btw the parking was a bit difficult but just go into the residential area if you can’t find any!
