Hummingbird Sushi sits on Mercer Street in Uptown, Seattle, offering a counter-only omakase service led by Chef Ji Hun Hong. The menu leans toward modern and fusion sushi, pairing traditional cuts with dishes like A5 Wagyu and seasonal seafood preparations. A sake pairing is offered alongside the tasting menu for diners who want wine-style structure to the meal.
The restaurant is open for dinner only, with no lunch service. Hours run from 5pm, closing at 9:30pm on Sunday through Thursday and extending to 10pm on Friday and Saturday. The restaurant is closed Mondays. Given the counter-only format, seating is limited and reservations are advised well ahead of a planned visit.
Pricing sits at the top end of the scale, consistent with its classification as a luxury omakase experience. The format favors a multi-course tasting approach rather than à la carte ordering, with the chef determining the sequence and composition of courses. Those booking should confirm directly with the restaurant whether the sake pairing is included in the omakase price or added separately, as this detail isn't specified on the official site.
For logistics, the restaurant is located at 11 Mercer St, Seattle, and can be reached by phone at (206) 295-0070 or through its website for reservations and current menu details.
