We had a great experience at Rain. We eagerly sat at the Sushi bar where we were able to watch the preparation of our meals. The Waiters were fun & friendly. We enjoyed the Sashimi Platter, Get Wet roll and an awesome squash dumpling . The only issue might have been the onion juice mixed with the Yellowtail on the Sashimi platter. We enjoyed a nice quiet evening with pleasant atmosphere. Awesome...

I really like their service + their Sushi is amazing! I think that they really put attention on their dishes & fish.

I gave this place two tries and that was it. During my last visit, the waitress was incredibly rude. She ignored us for a long time when we first sat down. Then, she brought out the large $24 sake for one of us, even though he had said he only had a half hour to eat. She should have asked if he wanted the small or large size when he ordered. Then she incorrectly overcharged us on the bill. There were a host of other problems, and we responded by leaving a small tip. When we left, she chased us down the sidewalk and confronted us about it, saying she didn't think she had any problems with her service (of course not). Finally, it ended with us walking away and her shrieking down the street that we should just take back the tip we gave her. It was a really bad scene. There are lots of sushi places in Seattle that are happy to have your business. I suggest you go somewhere else.

The owners at RAIN have been in business coming up on 2 years now and I am a huge fan. Takashi and Jenny are the two you'll usually see behind the sushi bar and they are both very good at what they do - they met and became friends while working together at Wasabi Bistro years ago, along with Billy Beach (a former RAIN partner). Billy has moved on to another sushi joint but RAIN is still as good as ever. You can see a roll they created for a catering function they did for me a year ago on my list of photos. Every time I see this photo it makes me hungry. Takashi took the photo after making this dish and forwarded it to me via his cell phone. One of the things I like best is that they will do your traditional fare but they also like to mix it up a bit and they do some interesting combinations for the rolls. Jenny is the brains behind many of these fun and tasty morsels - including several that are deep fried. It sounds bizarre but it tastes soooooo goooooood!!!! I am a big fan of sashimi over anything else and they do a fabulous chef's choice platter and there is also a spicy sashimi platter as well. The other menu items are also yummy - I've had tasty beef and chicken dishes as well as vegetarian food items such as a roasted squash ravioli like dish that I fell in love with when it was on a fall seasonal menu. The spicy crab soup is also wonderful. It's easy to find on 45th in Wallingford just west of the big silver Taco Time and before the wedding shop on the north side of the road.
