You will get first access to events and exclusive tasting menus. We adopt any essence of greatness without country border, but most importantly, our food is locally harvested most of it, fresh and creative to be transformed to our unique food culture we have, that means, beautiful to look at, brings great aroma and taste, simple and clean. Being a restaurant, we do our best so our guests feel food is "delicious". The kitchen is an engine of the restaurant, and, the front of the house is to support an engine as a body and four wheels. Teamwork makes it a smooth ride. Food tells you the plate is happy to be enjoyed by our guests. The happiness of the chefs goes to the happiness of servers and servers' hospitality goes to each table. Each team member is expected to "be yourself" and try to be a better person today than yesterday. Our place is our Dojo. We try to get the details of being professional but we do not lose the sense of vision like a big sky and borderless Ocean.
Our last “Ei Ei O!” before service. ❤️
On August 14, our second-to-last day, Katsuko-san joined our lineup to do “Ei Ei O!” with us one last time.
For the past seven years, Katsuko-san has been beside Sam, supporting him throughout every single day of this journey. Sam shared one small memory that says so much about that support: on many late nights when he came home from the restaurant, he would find dinner wrapped and waiting for him in the kitchen, and Katsuko-san would warm it up for him.
Through the long days, late nights, and everything that came with running 84 Yesler, she was always there supporting him behind the scenes.
Now, after all these years, they’re looking forward to slowing down, spending more time together, and finally being able to sit down and enjoy dinner together.
Then came August 15 — our final day of service.
During our final lineup, Sam left us with one message:
“It’s not the end today. It’s a beginning today.”
There were a lot of tears. It’s sad knowing we won’t stand together for another lineup or hear another “Ei Ei O!” before service.
But more than anything, we are grateful.
Thank you, Sam, for everything you built and everything you gave to this team. Every single person who has been part of 84 Yesler helped make it what it became.
To our chef, kitchen team, servers, bartenders, managers, and everyone who worked at 84 Yesler over the years, thank you. Whether you were here years ago or stayed with us until August 15, you are part of this story.
And to our guests, friends, neighbors, and everyone who supported us: thank you for joining us one last time.
After we announced our closure, our final two weeks filled almost immediately, with full waitlists as well. Seeing that love and support reminded us just how many memories were created here.
August 15, 2026 marked our final service, but as Sam said, it was also the beginning of a new future.
84 Yesler closed its doors surrounded by friends, our team, and so many happy memories.
Thank you for these years.
Thank you for being part of 84 Yesler.
One last time — Ei Ei O! ❤️
When we have the cutest customer, of course our owner Susumu Takahashi has to come say hi 🐶🤍
Puppies always bring out the wholesome side of our team 🍀🌱

84 Yesler Is Closing on August 15
A Message from owner Sam, Katsuko Takahashi, Chef Christina, and Team
To our dear customers of 84 Yesler and our friends,
Seven months ago, I announced my intention of retirement after I became 84 years old and looked for the business successor. My dream of food without borders, service without walls, to share the destiny with Pioneer Square, to be a social enterprise, I feel they were all accomplished by the great effort of our team and my appreciation to our customers.
My last wish of passing the torch to the next generation has not been fulfilled yet. I tried my best to find the successor for my business. Being 85 years old soon, William Shakespeare's quote comes back to my mind, "There is a tide in the affairs of men." I wished my concept of fine dining at Pioneer Square would work. The pandemic was a big wall for us.
Now, the time has come to bring down the curtain.
We will miss our customers, friends and community. I'd like you to know that our team, led by Christina Siegl, all worked hard and diligently in the belief that our success means sharing happiness with our guests.
84 Yesler will have its final day of operation on August 15.
Please visit us one more time to say goodbye to our team, enjoy our food, service and experience.
Thank you so much for your loyal support over the past six and a half years.
Warm regards,
Sam & Katsuko Takahashi
Christina Siegl & the 84 Yesler Team

A beautiful summer evening in the heart of Pioneer Square Seattle . 🇮🇹✨
We were honored to be part of the Little Italy Seattle celebration, serving one of the evening’s featured courses:
🥬 Grilled Romaine Salad with our signature bacon vinaigrette
🍖 Slow-braised Short Rib
Live Italian music, perfect weather, amazing company, and a community gathered around great food, these are the moments that remind us why we love what we do.
Thank you, Little Italy Seattle, for having us. We can’t wait for the next one!
Listen closely. 🔥✨
That sizzle is the sound of our Seared Scallops hitting the pan, perfectly caramelized and finished with our updated seasonal accompaniments.
Served with tarragon sauce, confit leeks, sea beans, and caviar, every element is designed to let the scallops shine.
Simple. Elegant. Unforgettable.
Come experience them for yourself. Reserve your table or walk in during dinner service.
