33 Best Japanese Restaurants near Bainbridge Island

“First time there and absolutely loved it! So easy to get to right off the ferry. Staff is so friendly, menu options are great with lots of choices including bowls, sashimi, salads and tofu for vegetarian options. Love the fun drinks and snacks options. Plenty of covered outdoor picnic table seating and open air concept. Quality seemed great. Ordered poke bowls including a special of the day. Would definitely go back!“

“Can be easily missed. No obvious visibility on yelp.

Atrmo - interior is clean but a little run down.
Service was quick and fast but the woman who helped me really didn't speak English. I didn't get exactly what I wanted but close enough because:
Food was excellent. Had chix teriyaki and it was freshly cooked hot and sauce was quite perfectly flavorful. Hot quality tea as well.“

“Great food and friendly staff. Perfect dinner before a movie.“

“We recently treated ourselves to AA Sushi and were super impressed by the food, service and ambiance. They had a wide selection of items that were expertly prepared and ready quickly! I was amazed to get an array of salmon rolls at an affordable price as part of their lunch special. The service was friendly and super helpful. I have been looking for a good sushi restaurant in North Seattle over the past two years and I think I have finally found our spot! We will definitely be returning.“

“The food is very good, staff is very friendly and efficient! Highly recommend“

“Quick and courteous staff. We had two chicken teriyaki with fried rice takeout orders. Excellent flavor with huge portions. The side salads were so large, they filled separate containers. We appreciated the Military gift of a free soda. We will definitely be back!“

“We did chicken teriyaki, half mild and half spicy (it’s not on the menu). They were both really good but the spicy one was better so I’d recommend that one if you only want to try one. There’s teriyaki sauce at each table as well if you want more sauce, which I did for the mild teriyaki!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE. So happy we stumbled upon this place during our evening stroll. Everything we had was chef’s choice and the chef did not disappoint. The rolls with the squash was delightful! Everything here truly brought me back to Japan.“

“Great tasting food, great prices, clean place, and some incredible people :) this is everything you want in your local neighborhood teriyaki place! They make great chicken katsu, and they use REAL katsu sauce!!!! None of that fake ketchup stuff.“

“Quiet, local place.
I tried the special :
KFC, Korean fried chicken.
Took awhile to come out. When it arrived, it was still hot from the wok, I mean searing, first bite burnt my lips.
It was good flavor, some crispy and chewy texture. I enjoyed it.“

“Best teriyaki In Bremerton with the most kind staff.“

“Today was our first time eating here. The service was pleasant and timely, and the food was delicious! We had the fresh spring rolls and chicken pho, and loved every bite. It was a wonderful dining experience. Thank you, we will be back soon! 😋“

“Beautiful restaurant with great sushi. My brother and sister in law knew the menu very well, so we let them guide us in what to get, but I loved everything we got. It was easy to distinguish what was and wasn't gluten free (for me) and our server was super helpful in that regard as well. Still dreaming about the one with crispy rice on the bottom.“

“Been going here since they opened! On my top 5 place’s to eat in Poulsbo. It’s is cheap and tasty! I always get the chicken teriyaki (whole order). It’s enough to feed 2 people, or have 2 meals. Everyone that works there are kind & efficient. Their spring rolls with the peanut sauce is also, SO good!“

“Went in for a quick sushi fix while shopping. Sat at the sushi bar and had Unagi and Ikura sushi 🍣 and the California and Caterpillar rolls. Fish was fresh and delicious 😋😍 The chef and hostess were gracious and attentive. Perfection and great prices 👌 👍 🥰“

“expensive but worth every penny“

“I've eaten at this place numerous times - friendly and thoughtful staff, relatively fast service, and good food. A little pricey for what you get but certainly worth stopping by if you're in Magnolia.

The "okay" rating from the health inspector is a little sketchy, not gonna lie, but I've never gotten sick here.

The place has small town sushi shop vibes, and is great if you're in the area. Maybe not worth traveling a great distance for but still quite good.“

“I have eaten here many times over the years, and have NEVER had a bad experience. The food has ALWAYS been delicious, more than I can eat, and the service is perfect. Do not abide by the bad reviews, someone always has to complain. In my opinion, along with my wifes opinion, they have the very best General Tso's chicken in the county. I absolutely LOVE the hot spicy chicken vegetable plate!!!! We also love the egg drop soup they give as a free appetizer....I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.“

“Loved their Spicy Teriyaki Chicken. It was actually spicy...“

“Good food and really good test y tried general Taos en really like it“

“The food was amazing, the chicken teriyaki was half of the container. Definitely going back again....“

“First time in west Seattle and this location was recommended to us for the best teriyaki chicken. We place our order we got the chicken teriyaki with rice and lettuce and an appetizer with dumplings and eggrolls. Our total was $30 and it was the most amazing teriyaki we have ever had.“

“Great food, great employees ( especially Raechel). We love going to Shiku. They are very helpful with recommendations, and we've never been disappointed. We highly recommend trying them out.“

“My wife and I have eaten here nearly every week since they opened. The space can only accommodate a few folks as they are mainly a takeaway restaurant. We have never had a bad experience and this sushi restaurant is hopefully a staple of the Magnolia neighborhood for years to come.“

“DELICIOUS sashimi. I really hope the owners find this comment. I'm leaving this review because my conscience won't allow me not to. Basically, I shared a very pleasant $90+ meal with a couple friends. However, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not well-practiced/educated in tipping because I've so rarely eaten out in all my life. I SEVERELY under-tipped them for this meal, and I just feel awful because it was AMAZING service on top of really decent sushi and better sashimi.“

“Food was so good and service was so good! I got the chicken teriyaki because I’m vegetarian and it was such a good replacement! Tasted like real meat. We got our food within 3 minutes which is crazy! The people working were so sweet and kind. The bathroom was so cool. :)))“

“when we lived closer, this was our go to spot. they provided the food for our wedding rehearsal dinner 25ish years ago. always the best!“

“I love this place and the owners. The food is so fresh and delicious. Such a treat to have this in our neighborhood. Those outside the neighborhood need to get in their cars and come to this restaurant. It’s worth the drive �“

“I love me some Sushi 🍣. If I could eat Sushi EVERYDAY, I would. I LOVE I can stuff my face without guilt. This is a place my family heads to when its Sushi Time! The ladies are very kind and service is effortless. The food is great.. I'm satisfied.. now I WANT Sushi .. yet it's 1030pm so I'll have to wait till tomorrow.. thank you Sam for being so near by....see you soon!“

“All this for 8.95?! Weekday lunch specials til 3pm are a steal deal! Food was almost a 10/10 most the chicken was pretty lean but some fat pieces got left behind and that’s the only reason I gave a 9 instead of a 10. Service was a little bland but oh well.“

“Glad they reopened, this is on my rotation of downtown restaurants to eat at for the last ten years. I particularly like the chicken katsu curry, kimchi fried rice, and the k-bbq combo.
I've never had a bad experience, sometimes it is a little spicier than I expect, but it is good for my soul.“

“Great experience, friendly people that go above and beyond. Food is excellent!“

“The food was excellent, we ordered a wide variety of dishes, for adults and children. Everyone was very happy. We will definitely go back.“
