If you're looking for a no frills, family-owned, Japanese spot in Seattle, this is it! My partner and I are regulars of 8 years. It is very popular for take out but we prefer to sit at the sushi bar. Their seafood is fresh and delightful. There's no imitation crab used here either--just the real deal. Be sure to check out the board with their ever changing specials. For non-sushi fans they also have teriyaki, noodles and curries. Service is always great and friendly too.

What a local find! We were craving some sushi mid-week and luckily came across this place on our Yelp search! It's located in a busy intersection in Georgetown but there's a parking spot so easy to get to! Right when we walked through the front doors, we were greeted by the smiling chef, shouting us a nice welcome in! Then a lady came by to seat us. It was a surprisingly busy place for mid-week but we easily got a seat. We started with an order of vegetable tempura. I was quite pleased with this tempura. It had a good ratio of batter to vegetable and wasn't too fried at all. It was delicious! Then we ordered three rolls to share among the two of us - spicy tuna roll, futomaki roll, and dragon roll. We were absolutely pleased with the rolls! They were cut well, made well, and filled with fresh ingredients. I was very happy after this meal and even had some rolls to take home with me. I will definitely be going back!

Love this place. A simple menu makes for extremely fresh fishi and great sushi rolls. Our toddler loves the gyoza and yakisoba too. Gotta ask about the specials too!

If you know sushi and want good quality of food, this is the spot.. Alex offers the best quality and very fresh fish. It's a hidden gem.. very simple, yet so good.

We placed a large last-minute order for a big party, and Alex and his team absolutely knocked it out of the park. Our guests raved about the sushi. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The presentation was amazing even though everything was in take-out platters. The appetizers were great, the rolls were fantastic and creatively prepared, and the sashimi was excellent. Everything was ready in about 45 minutes from when I ordered. I'd like to give special thanks for the Daimonji team going above and beyond helping me get the large order out to my car, and getting everything carefully packed so all the food stayed in great shape during the drive home. We will definitely be back to dine in. Thank you again for the wonderful food and great service!

I'll start by saying that I didn't find much value in their appetizers; the portions were extremely small and fell flat in flavor; particularly, the chicken karaage. Three small chicken nugget sides that were missing crunchiness and seasoning; the sliced cabbage to chicken ratio is quite disappointing. With that upset in appetizers out of the way, the sushis are good! My wife and I ordered five different rolls and it's clear that they use fresh fish and vegetables; there isn't a lingering after taste that makes you question the cleanliness and preparation. Some sushi joints make you wonder how long the ingredients have been taken in and out the fridge and if the chef even knows how to assemble a roll. This place is generous in the portions and is packed neatly to make a pleasant display. Their Lucky roll is probably my top pick so far, following that is their ebi tempura; the Lucky roll with the seared hamachi and fried onions pairs well together, while the Ebi tempura had a nice fried batter that compliments well the bits of cucumber and avocado. They have nice selection of sashimi which I will come back soon on my own to try; perhaps their yellowtail and unagi. Friendly staff, swift service from getting seated to receiving the check.

First time eating Japanese food here. Everything was delicious and staff were very friendly. The customer service is above and beyond here. Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

Craving sushi for Valentine's Day and I came across Daimonji. I ordered for pickup on the phone and was able to pick up my order in 30 minutes. I got the Daimonji roll, spider roll, red devil, and mad tiger roll. Along with one four seasons hand roll. My favorites were the daimonji roll and the mad tiger roll - I'd definitely get those two again! The others were good too but the flavors were not as powerful as the aforementioned rolls. The hand roll was my least favorite but that is just because I prefer the regular rolls for the ratio of fish to rice. Overall, a great experience and I'm looking forward to getting food from here again!
