33 Best Japanese Restaurants near Bainbridge Island

“We had the curry and homemade yuzu soda, and they were absolutely fantastic! The curry was so well flavored, clearly made with love, and better than most of the curries I've had in Japan! The yuzu soda was a perfect balance of lemony and refreshing. The staff were so friendly and cheerful!“

“This place is soooo good. I am Asian and I don’t lie about food. The kalbi is must get!!! Best I have had on the peninsula. They really load you up, I eat half way and took the picture, sorry it’s more than the picture. Empty the plate!!!!“

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

“This was a very unexpected delight. Crystal was our server and she was perfect. Answered all my annoying questions and had great recommendations. I will be back so many times. The food was amazing. We had the katsu currie (so much flavor) and the spicy ramen (not big on ramen but those noodles were thick and slapped) very reasonable prices. Thank you for the great food ?“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moshiko in West Seattle, and I can’t rave enough about the experience. From the moment we arrived, Steve’s exceptional service set the tone for a memorable evening. His extensive knowledge and genuine assistance in choosing and pairing items made our meal truly special.

Steve’s expertise in recommending the perfect dishes was impressive, and he ensured that each item we tried was perfectly suited to our tastes. His attentive and friendly demeanor made us feel well taken care of throughout our visit.

The sushi at Moshiko was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted. The small, quaint environment added to the charm of the restaurant, creating a cozy atmosphere for our dinner. We were fortunate to secure a 5:45 PM reservation on a Friday night, which allowed us to enjoy the experience without the usual wait.

Overall, our visit was fantastic, and we’re already looking forward to going back for one of their full dining experiences. A big thank you to Steve for making our evening so enjoyable. His service was top-notch, and his recommendations made the meal unforgettable. If you’re in West Seattle, Moshiko is a must-visit, and Steve is the person to ask for!“

“I've been to a few other teriyaki places in the area, but none has given me amazing food and customer service as consistently as here! The cashier (keep forgetting to ask his name ?) always welcomes me with a smile. Food is always fast and fresh, and the cashier always makes a handle for me so I can ride home with food in-tact. I love this place, and will keep coming back for more!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible, even from street level.“

“Y'all... The honey garlic chicken here has changed my life! It's so good! I've also tried their tofu yakisoba and I have to shout out their egg drop wonton soup (so full of great veggies!). Everything has been over the top hot and fresh for takeout. Highly recommend you give them a try!“

“Got the spicy chicken teriyaki and a jarritos. It was the perfect meal after 3 hours wandering around discovery park with my dog. The portion size was very generous and the spice level was just enough to taste without being painful. I'll definitely be back the next time we're out walking in this neighborhood!“

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

“Food was great and appropriately priced. Service was off but it appeared to be a coordination issue. Though we had reservation for two we were seated at a table for four so the server waited thinking we were waiting for others. Twice we were asked if others were coming. A food server brought food before original server brought drinks. Manager apparently not on floor solving problems.“

“I have had chicken teriyaki MANY times. This is without a doubt the BEST I have ever had. I ordered the chicken teriyaki and tempura combo and asked for the chicken teriyaki to be made spicy. The chicken is tender with a good sear and no defects. The sauce is thick and brimming with flavor. The meal came on a large, pretty plate. Not exactly a date spot without table service (order at counter), but come for good tasty food. Relaxing music. In my happy place now ♥️“

“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.“

“I got the chicken teriyaki and chicken spring roll. It tasted like how actual, authentic teriyaki seems like it should taste: none of that sweetened, charred, “fast-food teriyaki” flavor that I would usually expect from a teriyaki place. There wasn’t very much sauce or added-in flavor (which I actually quite crave, to be honest). I’m used to teriyaki chicken tasting distinct from any other type of chicken, but this wasn’t like that. It tasted way more normal. Also, the spring roll was huge! It loved it! Nonetheless, it filled me up and tasted great. :)“

“Had this awhile back and had to have it again when I was back in town. Had the Katsu Curry this time which gave what I expected. The server (Yeong I believe) was super friendly and hospitable beyond what I expected! Perhaps he just liked us or we were a big group but he served us some complementary sides that were delicious. The fried gyoza was bomb. The whole place was decorated for Halloween. I hope to return to this place sooner than later.“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic first time experience at Pho Season! Samurai roll and tempura prawn roll were amazing starts! Number 2 Pho was delicious as was the Chicken vermicelli bowl! I brought it home and it smelled so good that we started eating before I remembered to take pictures.... So I will have to add some pics of this beautiful food on the next review. Definitely the best pho I've had in Port Orchard!!“

“Best Teriyaki by far. Chicken is fresh and has that crispy grilled flavor and salad dressing is Amazing, I rate it a 10/10I drive 20mins to come eat here. Recommend calling ahead of time for order as they do get busy. Also small little spot so not guaranteed a spot to sit.

Parking: Parked above by Safeway“

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

“expensive but worth every penny“

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

“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. :)))“

“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.“

“Came here the other day with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the volcano, dynamite, and unagi rolls and they were all pretty tasty. I’m always hesitant trying new sushi places because often times the rice is too hard or sweet, fish not fresh, and sauce-to-roll balance off, but Azuma made some pretty good cooked-fish sushi rolls. I’m pleased to have a neighborhood spot.“

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

“Great little sushi spot and more. The atmosphere is amazing and the restaurant is very high quality. This is one of my favorite spots for sushi and katsu in Ballard. The katsu chicken is amazing and everything else is too. Would definitely recommend!“

“Delicious American-sized rolls for American palates. Seems like they’re short on staff so don’t expect stellar service. The whole operation appears to be geared toward takeout so consider picking up instead of dining in. Don’t bother coming here if you’re looking for more traditional sushi that’s closer to Japan quality and flavor. Also don’t come on a Friday if you want to dine in as the dining room is closed.“

“Great food and great friendly service“

“My 7-year-old son loves Joy Teriyaki. The Bento Box is one of the best around. I personally think the fried shrimp are the best you can ever find (seriously, they are so good!). The service is always great. I left my hat here and they saved it for me to collect the next time I came in.

Parking: Parking is within the Fred Meyer lot.“

“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.“

“Sat outdoors under a heat lamp. Nice atmosphere with string lights. Delicious sushi, miso soup and roasted peppers.“

“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 �“

“Fresh, delicious sushi and great service! Highly recommend!“

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