"Setsuna was once a beloved Japanese izakaya near Northgate. After a short absence, it reemerged as Karaage Setsuna in Belltown, with a smaller venue and menu. While there’s ramen, curry rice, and Hawaiian specialties like loco moco, the item to prioritize is the namesake karaage, available in three portion sizes. Made from boneless chicken thigh (dark meat, as it should be), this version of fried chicken should forever replace American-style in diners’ hearts." - Jay Friedman, Eater Staff

"As its name implies, the item to prioritize is at this Belltown spot is the namesake karaage, available in three portion sizes. However, the poutine tucked as part of the appetizer list has received some acclaim as well, smothered in a tomato-curry gravy for a slight twist on a classic. Open for takeout and limited dine-in." - Eater Staff

"Japanese fried chicken specialist Kaarage Setsuna has developed such a following over the last few years that it’s relocated to a bigger space nearby, with double the seating capacity as the original. The menu is the same, with owner Yoshi Matsumoto’s Japanese-Hawaiian specialties like spam rolls, loco moco, poke bowls, and regular and spicy kaarage chicken." - Megan Hill

One of my favorite comfort spots for kaarage and curry rice.

The chicken was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection. They had a lot of options for the dip, but you have to pay extra. The dips ranges from sweet asian fusions to spicy ones. We ordered the chicken platter and poke salad.

I really liked this place! We ordered a bunch of shareable appetizers and they were all really good! I liked the chicken karaage and the pickled vegetables we ordered (Kimchee Takuan). Also I really like the variety of dipping sauces they offer. I haven’t been to a place that offers many different sauces. We got the curry ketchup, spicy mayo, and mango mayo. They went really well with the fries and the chicken karaage. Service was good. I didn’t feel like we waited too long for our food. The interior of the restaurant is nice. They use a lot of wood and warm colors so it feels homey and like you’re in a Japanese restaurant. We sat in a booth in the back which fit our group comfortably (and had space to put our bags down).

I was thrown out of shiro's sushi for looking too poor. "No tables available" when the restaurant was half empty Walked a few feet away to Karaage Setsuna and decided to roll the dice. I got their happy hour Karaage and a beer. Absolutely Fantastic fried chicken. I think I dodged a Bullet going to shiro. This restaurant is top notch.

Wandered up to Seattle and took a .1 mile walk from the Seattle Space Needle to this highly rated sushi place. Ordered tempura, which was served with 3 shrimp and an ample assortment of vegetables atop rice. It could have been a meal in itself. Very light batter. Not greasy nor oily! The miso soup that came with the tempura was refreshing. We ordered ahi and salmon sushi. The salmon was melt-in-your-mouth fresh and fantastic. It's going to be very hard to eat this from our local favorite spot now. The ahi was just as fresh and had a great accompanying sauce. Worth the trip! Downside: you have to use your phone for a menu. While it is COVID friendly sometimes a menu in hand is better than a phone. It makes sense. Also they can accept cash however "cannot give you change" so be prepared for this or use your card.

We ordered Original Chicken Karage and Spicy Thai Shrimp rolls and loved both. The sushi roll was flavourful and made with fresh ingredients. Would highly recommend trying this.

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 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. Tofu soup and spicy tuna sushi roll are also delicious.
