I travel a lot with my job and am always trying sushi in various places. I tried Red Fin after reading a few reviews here and It was the right decision. I started with the shitake mushroom dumplings which were wonderful; the sauce was awesome. I tried the chef's choice sushi tray and was impressed by the variety that was provided. Usually if you do this, you just get some tuna and mackeral and maybe a shrimp. This tray had a dozen different types of seafood, and it all just melted in your mouth. It was outstanding. I also had my usual order of uni which was also incredibly fresh. I will definitely go back. Oh, and the sake it great as well. Try the Red Fin sampler. Pros: Amazingly fresh sushi; great appetizers; good service Cons: It is expensive, be prepared

I've been going to Red Fin now for half a year, mostly in the winter. Now that summer is upon us however, i find I can't even sit in the bar or restaurant for more than 10 minutes without starting to perspire. I love the place, the food is great, presentation unbelievable, the entire staff is so friendly and helpful, but seriously, turn up the A/C, it's like dining in a boiler room on hot days.

Staying near convention center, and not a lot of higher end places for a sushi bar type dinner without taking a cab. Tried Red Fin, and was concerned that it was a fusion type place with different cuisines. Was thinking of cabbing it to places that were recommended for pure sushi type experience, but since I was dining alone, I preferred something within walking distance. Red Fin had a great atmosphere with a mix of out-of-towners and locals. Sushi bar was full, so had a table for two in bar area. Sushi bar lighting was too bright anyway. Had the Sashimi dinner with miso + rice for $28, and it was as large and fresh as I have had anywhere. Sushi dinner was $25. I was looking for an Omakase type dinner, but with all things considered, and location taking an important role in the decision, this was great. Beer and sake prices were very reasonable as well. Highly recommended due to location, ambience, and fresh fish. Favorite sushi places are Sushi Sasabune in Honolulu and Los Angeles. Different owners and LA cheaper by 20%, but excellent Omakase at both.

If you are in Seattle or even passing by and are even remotely hungry for something Asian, check this place out. I usually dine here for lunch and sometimes dinner and was kind of skeptical about breakfast, but they do that right as well. Anytime I have ever dined at Red Fin it has been extremely tasty offering unique flavors for all their dishes from the dozens of Bento Box combinations to the full service Sushi Bar. Pros: Service, Price Value, Promt Service Cons: None yet and lets keep it that way!

Not only was I pleasantly surprised with the high level of service and quality of the ajoining Hotel Max - it has been a pleasure eating many a meal at Red Fin during my stay (a plus for returning to this hotel for future trips to Seattle). The menu is interesting, the quality and presentation EXCELLENT!. Try it - you will not be disappointed. The staff are fantastic and will help guide you through your choices. They are warm and helpful - and all seem to enjoy and take pride in this gem of a spot. The space is small but never seems uncomfortably crowded - the furniture is comfy. Aside from amazing sushi try the crab soup - wow! They also offer brunch on the weekends. On top of it all the prices are very reasonable given the quality you receive. Bravo! Pros: Service, Quality and Value Cons: NONE

My recent Urban Eats dinner at Red Fin was good, but none of the flavors really blew my mind. My dining partner really liked the spicy tuna poke starter--a little too much onion for me, but I realize not everyone shares my onion issues. For my own starter, I went with the goat cheese and wonton chips and found it to be an interesting, tasty combo. I didn't care for the accompanying marinated apple dice as the flavor just seemed off. My teriyaki steak was tender, but pretty basic...double thumbs-up on the wasabi potatoes and tempura onion rings, though. My dining partner's phad thai was, like the steak, very basic in that it was...pad thai. With scallops and shrimp. Desserts were something of a weak link--the consistency of the Thai tea creme brulee just wasn't quite right, and the cheesecake reportedly too strongly-flavored. Of note, Red Fin serves mammoth portions of food--go there hungry! I had to take home some of my steak and potatoes as a leftover, and I couldn't finish the enormous quantity of creme brulee. No complaints on the service, but no raves either. Our server was prompt but not especially warm--he got the job done and that was it. Pros: Huge portions, well-prepared and presented food Cons: Weak desserts, flavors not compelling

When people ask me my favorite restaurant in Seattle, I always find myself saying Red Fin. The menu has so many options. Red Fin is a place I can go for a special occation with multi courses or for a quick bite and a drink. I have dinned there too many times to count. Everything from the sushi bar is incredible. I think I have tried everything on the menu and love it all. Among my favorites are the 5 spice duck and the shimp pad thai. For lunch I enjoy the chicken sandwich, or a bento box. The service is friendly and relaxed. The atmosphere decor is "hip, downtown" and spacious. I love the fact I get great quality and well prepared food at a price I can dine frequently. I highly recommend Red Fin as a place to dine frequently. Pros: Great menu, friendly service Cons: not exceptional 4 star service
