30 Best Japanese Restaurants in Bellevue

“The ramen selection is so unique! Went there with friends, there was wait even though it was past peak lunch hour. The waitlist goes fast but expect to wait 5+ mins to get seated.

Service was prompt and fast but nothing personal to note for. Their ramen was great!!
Original tonkotsu was super flavorful but not too heavy, and their seafood ramen was amazing too!! Can’t wait to go back to try their pesto and black sesame!“

“This place is next level! Best tempura I’ve ever experienced. Will definitely be back.“

“daily specials are awesome. delicious food that’s so worth checking out“

“Best place ever!! 5 stars!! The food is incredible, best vietnamese I’ve ever had. Not only is the food incredible, but the servers are so kind! Overall a great experience and would highly recommend!!“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“The food - fantastic. Service was quick and very reasonably priced. Ordered the spicy and either they forgot or it wasn’t spicy enough. Solid flavor profile and would come again. Takeout is the best way to go as the shop is very small and tables on top of one another.“

“First time at Toshi's Teriyaki Bellevue. Our group had a sampling of several menu items including the half chicken, the beef skewers, the shrimp skewers, teriyaki chicken & Yakisoba, potstickers and eggrolls. All were very quick to be prepared and yummy. Staff was super friendly.“

“I’m Japanese and usually spend half the year in the U.S. and the other half in Japan. This time, I have to stay in the U.S. for over a year, and I’ve honestly been feeling homesick almost every day. But after eating the tempura bowl here, my homesickness eased a little.

We often go out for sushi or try other Japanese restaurants. Sushi is usually okay, but when it comes to other Japanese food, the only place we’ve consistently liked is Kizuki Ramen—and even there, only the ramen and karaage stand out. It’s been hard to find a place where you can enjoy a variety of authentic Japanese dishes at a reasonable price and with great quality.

So my husband and I were genuinely impressed and touched to find this restaurant. After a really disappointing experience at a late-night Japanese restaurant near Bellevue recently, discovering this place made us so happy. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Teriyaki was great, special menu had interesting dishes you won't find at most teriyaki joints. Owner is super friendly and still passionate about service and food quality, she made it a memorable treat to dine in! This is our new go-to teriyaki joint when we're in the Eastside“

“Could only show 10 of the 25 dishes served! Becoming my favorite omakase in the Seattle area!“

“I always go for Musashi if I decided to have some sushi for the day. Good price, good quality and big portion but… they always forget to pack my soy sauce for the sushi like most of the time when I ordered togo…luckily I do have some at home lol“

“This place gives a good amount of food for the price and it tastes great too. The staff are kind and sweet. Best Teriyaki place I’ve been to.

Kid-friendliness: The staff had no issues cleaning up a water spill from a family with two little kids and even gave the kids lollipops after they finished!“

“Cozy place to enjoy Teriyaki.
Good delicious teriyaki plus other menu items

Nice friendly service.

Higher prices than average, but we are in this gorgeous nice city of Bellevue, every thing here in every where is expensive. Nothing cheap. Nothing has reasonable price.

But here the Portions are good.

Convenient place
Near QFC.
Large parking lot.“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal! This was so good!“

“Amazing and authentic Japanese sandwiches! I recommend them all!“

“I don’t usually write reviews, as you can probably tell from my non-review status, but this Jumbo Chicken Teriyaki Box has completely changed the game for me. As someone who travels frequently for work and eats on the go, I was not only surprised but genuinely in awe of the simple yet incredible meal that was delivered to my less-than-glamorous hotel room in Seatle.

When I say "simple," I don’t mean it in a negative way—rather, it was simply perfect. The chicken, the salad—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I was so impressed that I feel compelled to tell others: Order from here now, and often!

It’s been two weeks since I left Seattle, and I’ve thought about this meal at least 35 times since returning home. This place is a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to get back to the West Coast so I can dine here again. For what it’s worth, I ordered from them both nights of my stay in Seattle. Highly recommend!“

“I love everything about this place! the owners, the food, the hospitality, the atmosphere! my partner and I stumbled upon this place a few years ago and now we go every chance we get! delicious sushi, amazing sauces, huge menu. love love love!“

“I enjoyed the high quality cuts of fish and unique dishes like the beni-tenshi parfait! Totally worth going just for dessert.“

“Everything we had was phenomenal, a true blend of quality ingredients and artistry. Some of the best sushi I have had.

Service was prompt and courteous.

Atmosphere is quaint, the feeling of a hole in the wall place that you just stumble upon.

Seriously great job!

We had Tuna Roll, Mango Surprise Roll, Dragon Roll, Washington Roll, and Rainbow Roll.“

“This was my gf and I 1st time eating here and let me tell you it was soooo good! We will definitely be frequenting this place. Thank you guys for dinner 5⭐s“

“Delicious food. Excellent portions. Good friendly service. Reasonable prices. Clean spacious seating lounge.

Please talk to the owner at the casheir They will make it right to make you happy. So you can have a very good eating experience.
Convenient location, large parking lot. Lots of free parking

Highly recommend“

“We came for the pool tournament and stayed for the steak! Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommended! Hospitality and service were top notch. From the time I gave them my card I was addressed by my first name and treated like a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better night! 5 star!!“

“Hidden gem alert: Just tried Tokyo Flame Teriyaki in Lynnwood and wow—this place delivers flavor and comfort in every bite.

I ordered the chicken teriyaki combo and it was perfectly grilled, juicy, and glazed with that rich, slightly smoky sauce that makes you want to lick the container. The rice was fluffy, the veggies crisp, and the portion? Generous without being overwhelming.

The staff were super friendly and fast, and the place had a cozy, no-frills vibe that made me feel right at home. Prices are great too—definitely wallet-friendly without sacrificing quality.

If you're craving classic teriyaki done right, this spot is a must. I’ll be back for the spicy pork next time!“

“We had the Katsu Don and the Odun and spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The restaurant had a very sleek clean look. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend this fine dining experience.“

“Bright upbeat cafe with so many options of drinks, ice cream, and baked treats.

I highly recommend their hojicha soft serve ice cream, their matcha tiramisu, and their black sesame latte!

I will be coming back every chance I get!“

“We are regulars at Tokyo. This restaurant has been in Factoria for many years and it is always great. The service is great. The sushi is fresh and delicious. We also order a variety of hot doors such as bento boxes, uson, and various rice bowls. I think their chicken karage is also exceptional. We do both dine in and takeout and it is always great!“

“Another great experience at Japanese Bellevue in the books.“

“⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Incredible Peruvian Food at Lamar Bellevue! ⭐ Lamar Bellevue is hands-down one of the best Peruvian restaurants I’ve visited in the U.S. The flavors are authentic, vibrant, and beautifully presented — every dish tastes like it was made with love. The staff is welcoming, the vibe is warm, and the menu truly highlights the richness of Peruvian cuisine. I was so happy to see they offer great vegetarian options, which is rare for Peruvian restaurants. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. And I have to mention the chicha morada — wow! It’s the most refreshing, naturally sweet, and perfectly spiced purple corn drink. A must-try! If you love amazing cuisine: Peruvian food or want to explore something new, Lamar Bellevue is an absolute gem. Highly recommended! 💛🇵🇪🥘“

“We were actually on our way somewhere else to eat when we saw Joy Box and the menu. It looked good so we walked in. The food was so good. The portions are HUGE. Great value for the money. We had the seafood ramen which was super spicy in a good way and full of flavour. We had the katsu chicken bento box which was full of wonder things to try like fried dumplings, spring rolls, noodles, rice and of course katsu chicken. We had fried dumplings and beef bulgogi. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was clean and the vibe was nice. The staff was good. We highly recommend this place.“
