Karaage Setsuna focuses on current Hawaiian fare, which has been constantly evolving with great influence of Asian, especially Japanese cuisine. The owner chef Yoshi Matsumoto with 20 years of experience in Japanese restaurant business created all of our recipes merging local, Hawaiian and Japanese food culture. We believe our signature menu item “Karaage” -Japanese style fried chicken- can be the newest tradition in Seattle!

Seattle Pinball Museum

The Pinball Museum takes me back to my childhood days of playing Ms Pacman, Dig Dug, pinball, and a bunch of other games in dark and cool arcades. Ah, good times.

I’ve only been here twice but both times were super fun. First, the Hubs had a birthday party here when they first opened. We didn’t rent it, we just gathered there with a bunch of friends. It was a blast! More recently, we took our three nephews here this summer and it was a hit. A great time was had by all!
