Excellent sushi or Ethiopian food near Lower Queen Anne in Seattle

I’m meeting a friend I haven’t seen in a million years and her family for dinner tonight. They’re staying near the Space Needle. I live in West Seattle and am out of the loop. They’ve narrowed food down to sushi or Ethiopian food. Recommendations near there, please!!
Response by poster: This is the only thread sitting I’ll do - yeah, all the places I know for both are the south end, that’s why I’m stuck!

You want Shiki on West Roy. It's amazing, and a short walk from the Space Needle.

We had sushi at Moontree and thought it was pretty great, with some interesting options. Easy to get to as well. I'd call ahead just in case.
For Ethiopian, yeah I don't know any around there - you could go up to Capitol Hill for Queen Sheba, which I love, but it's a 10 minute drive at least.

Seconding Shiki. One of my favorite sushi places in the city.

Response by poster: Thanks, all! We picked Umi, and I referred them to Queen Sheba for Ethiopian goodness that isn’t a journey across the whole city. Bookmarking this for the future!

Umi Sake House, Ohana Belltown, Sushi Kashiba, Shiro's I can all vouch for as excellent for their respective levels-of-fanciness.
Ethiopian, near as I know, you'll have to go further out for that. It's generally clustered further from downtown, more Central District or Hillman City or Tukwila.
