Secret Fort Yakitori - Japanese Dining Experience in Seattle

As secret as it's name, cause there's only a fire logo as the shop sign, and a Hokkaido ice- cream counter shadowed this izakiya behind. Typical Japanese bar n grill snacks settings, play tribute to animation with some special decors. They serve good quality grill snacks , which are slightly seasoned, and staffs have good control of charcoal temperature. There are 3 types of seasonings, but we tend to choose the simple salt version. Beef tongue , we tried both normal n exclusive ones, they are all tender and nice. Chicken gizzards are juicy, chicken skins are crispy not oily, and fried tofu are rich in beans protein favour. The tango pork impressed us most, slightly soft tango warped with savoury thin pork, what a perfect pair. We encore this item even we are very full.

I have been to Los Angeles, Boston, & Japan. Secret Fort’s yakitori is the best I had in America & is on par with some of the restaurants I had In Japan. The style of the restaurant, the friendly staff, & of course the food made this a “must visit” when coming to Seattle. If you are reading this. JUST GO! ITS SO GOOD!!!

Best Yakatori I've found here in Seattle. It never disappoints. One of my favorite Yakatori is pork belly with plum... It is simply, chef's kiss <3

We came to try the Seattle restaurant week menu. We loved the variety. Everything was tasty, some things stood out for us were - the white fish sashimi, the shiitake skewer, the bacon wrapped mochi skewer (didn’t know I’d like this!), the wagyu skewer.

Secret Fort in Fremont is a unique spot bursting with amazing retro art and anime decor that creates a fantastic vibe. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the waitstaff were incredibly kind and attentive. If you're looking for a memorable ambiance and don't mind splurging a bit, Secret Fort is worth checking out.

i liked this place, it's a cool menu, they have a $1 off happy hours for skewers which is my goto.

Food was delicious. They have a 5 course deal for their 3rd-year anniversary and it was a perfect way to get a taste of what they offer. The Suji Nikomi, a beef stew, was the highlight of the course with tender meat and tasty broth.

We will definitely be back! It’s hard to find good yakitori in Seattle. This place serves up moist skewers with great flavors. And there are other small dishes to choose from. The vibe took us right back to Japan. We loved the decor! Our favorites were the negima, waygu, Shisito, salmon carpaccio, and the rice side was sooo perfect as an add on! Don’t skip on the yuzu highball either - just perfect. Our only recommendation is on the service. It was slow and the poor bartender was all alone. Regardless, we left happy, full, and excited for our next visit.
