Upon approaching this establishment, I was greeted by a tantalizing aroma of deep-fried goodness. Stepping inside, I found the atmosphere to be cozy and unpretentious. The menu, conveniently accessible through QR codes, seemed to be a common trend these days. As for the food, it was undeniably satisfying, with a wide selection of mouthwatering options like fried chicken and various sides. While admittedly not the healthiest fare, it was delicious. And the best part? The prices were reasonable. If you’re looking for some delectable indulgence, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Karaage Setsuna is such a find! From the mouthwatering poke bowl (full of super-soft, delicious tuna, sticky rice, veg and sliced ginger) to the chilled sake and white peach soda! The ambience is simple and lets the waitstaff shine, which they did. The experience is streamlined with online self-ordering which was seamless. Mahalo for a scrumptious dinner!

The best karage (Japanese fried chicken) you can find in Seattle! We always go for the spicy ones or over Japanese curry.

I came upon this place on a stroll to the ocean. I’m vegan and was excited to see the Veggie Roll so I tried it (I double-checked with the server that it could be made vegan). When I wasn’t vegan I was a sushi junkie and I remember the checklist I’d keep in mind for what would make or break a good roll IMO: 1) how well the rice is cooked, 2) the combo of flavors inside the roll, and 3) the structural integrity of the roll (i.e., does it hold together well when I pick a piece up).This role was pleasantly surprising – it was crisp, fresh, held together well, and the rice was cooked perfectly! I’ve never had green beans in a sushi roll before but it really pairs well with the softer sushi rice. The veggie roll is a great option if you want something light and tasty. Overall, an inviting atmosphere, friendly and quick service, and a good veggie roll :).

What a delightful restaurant! The Karaage (fried chicken) was some of the best fried bird I’ve had. Try the house sodas, too. The peach one was a treat! I’d definitely come back.

Karaage is very soft and juicy inside, with thin flour layer. Crispy while soft, perfect and light! It’s the best fried chicken I ever had in the past year, not too oily at all.
