Looking for a new sushi bar to check out? Look no further than this new arrival. Located at 516 First Ave. North (between Republican and Mercer streets) in Lower Queen Anne, the newcomer is called Moon Tree Sushi & Tapas.
This spot offers a variety of Japanese and Korean specialties on its menu, including small plates of spicy edamame, vegetable tempura and geso karaage (deep friend squid legs with chile, lime and Asian pesto). Sushi options include Kani (snow crab), ankimo (monkfish liver) and sake (salmon), among others.
And if you're up for it, finish your meal with one of its desserts, like its coconut mango panna cotta or espresso mousse.

John H., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Dec. 24, wrote, "The most eye-opening, inventive, sublimely inspired sushi I have ever had! I've lived in Japan for about a decade and can say, without a doubt, Moon Tree offers dishes that will take your palate to another level."
Yelper Old Vine z. added, "Ordered the Sushi Omakase to see what they could produce, [and] I was not disappointed. Everything was so fresh and well executed, I can't wait to work my way through the rest of the menu."
