30 Best Japanese Restaurants in Bellevue

“Came here on a Monday night. Food was excellent! It was very fresh and only waited 10 minutes for the food to come out. The akiaji seasonal tendon had everything I wanted and it was fun to be able to try the different foods included. Anna was a very attentive server and provided excellent customer service to our table, she was so friendly and helpful!!! I would highly recommend this place to friends or anyone visiting Seattle/bellevue area for a great experience!“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

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

“I like their fresh sheet!
I love eating sashimi and sushi with different kind of fishes/seafood. Lots of time tuna/salmon/yellowtail etc don't satisfy me because they are like basics for every Japanese restaurants. So I really enjoyed that they offer Aji, Kanpachi, Suzuki, Burihira etc. Crab tower roll was great! Lots of thin fries, my son loved it.
Definitely 5 star for the creative yet quality menu!

Service was great, they have enough people to cover a full house so you don't feel ignored and they come to check on you. Server introduced the sake I ordered and tried to pour with label facing at me all time like a high-end restaurant pouring fancy wine. I didn't catch her name but I appreciate the details.

Food was great as mentioned above. A great selection of Sake as well. Even though I haven't try everything on their menu, food I ordered was great, sushi from their fresh sheets was really good! I didn't order the couple rolls that were on fire, feels more like a gimmicky thing for me, but that's a subjective opinion, please go try and tell me I am wrong :)
Wife ordered Tempura and it was done right, crispy and delicious! The only thing would be the price point of the menu is more on the expensive side, especially how I prefer nigiris, so I won't be able to come here very often. Not that the price/quality ratio is bad tho, so I will come back.

Atmosphere was excellent. Although the table I was assigned was a bit sticky, not sure if it was the type of cleaner product they use or the towel was used too often on a Friday night.

Overall, I would go again and support this hidden gem.“

“Food is always amazing! Great quality and price and is a hidden gem in Factoria. We drive over from Seattle or make sure to pick it up on our way home from running errands on the Eastside.

Vegetarian options: Vegetable options for stir fry, fried rice, and yakisoba“

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

“If you are looking for Yoshinoya beef bowl you had in Japan, this is what you are looking for. There’s no Yoshinoya in WA, so you should try here.
The reproduction of Yoshinoya's beef bowl is quite high. The clerk was Japanese. The menu name was Sukiyaki instead of Gyudon. It's a style where you order at the cash register and it's brought to your seat.“

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

“it's fine. decent place. sometimes overcooks my katsu but it doesn't make it inedible, just means there's a person actually cooking it back there. have seen people in the back cleaning equipment rigorously so that made me feel good about the cleanliness. would recommend“

“I really love this place and have for many years.

As someone who has lived in Japan, I can say that the quality of their fish is great! It’s not the best in WA that I’ve had but it’s still very good for the PNW. I loveeeee their chirashi bowls and appreciate that they let you customize what is in the bowl if you prefer (sometimes I get chirashi but with only one kind of fish, for example).

Their prices are low for what they serve and their bowls come with such generous portions!

Parking is easy. There is parking throughout the whole plaza, though during some parts of the day you might need to park a bit further from the restaurant cuz so many people go to Factoria.

The staff are nice, maybe not the most friendly but they are pleasant. It is, however, a VERY small location so sometimes getting seating is really hard. And the decor isn’t very cozy (makes sense for such a small place). But otherwise highly recommend this place! Love love love it.“

“I love Toshi's! Haven't had any bad meals here, but my favorite so far is the spicy katsu chicken (barely spicy tbh) and teriyaki chicken. You can mix and match most of the dishes for combo plates, just ask! I hear the pork yakiUdon is also ?“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“We accidently found this restaurant and so glad we did. The food was exceptional and very inexpensive for the quality and service. The beef bulgogi pot stickers and tempura prawns were the best we have found in WA yet. Even though I am not a fan of spicy food - the Rose Combo (sorry I forgot the name) was the best flavor I have ever had. Thank you! We highly recommend this restaurant.“

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

“Always an incredible meal as the sushi chefs put their heart and soul into their work. Excellent presentation and the freshest sushi in town.“

“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 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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Shrinkflation is real!!! Been going here for about 6 years now, always good service, good tasty food, you can't go wrong here. While I completely understand the prices increasing a few bucks over the years, I feel like the amount of food I receive has been decreasing. Idk man, I understand inflation and everything, but when I go to Ballard/Seattle (where I work) and get teriyaki that's priced within a dollar or two of this place, I notice I get a much larger portion sizes. Idk, might just be me and y'all OGs of this place could decide for yourself. Good place and good food though, just a little disappointed in my portion size decreasing over the years.“

“No complaints about their food or service. The only downside is parking. We were lucky to find a parking spot right in front of the place on a Wednesday afternoon. Tried the seasonal specials roll cake. Absolutely amazing. Right amount of sweetness, nice presentation, and the mochi in the middle definitely added some more layers.“

“This is by far the best sushi I've ever had in my life. Definitely the best sushi restaurant in all of WA state. A hole-in-the-wall gem! If you find this place, you are blessed by the sushi gods. Every time my husband and I go to a different sushi restaurant, we always think - we should have just gone to Rolls and Rolls. The Salmon Platter is so buttery and the fish melts in your mouth, the texture is just divine. The miso soup is so refreshing, and their specialty rolls all have perfect proportions and are well made.

The service is some of the best I've ever experienced at any restaurant - it's a family owned place and the son is the waiter. He is very courteous and careful about when he comes over to ask how things are going, and always seems to come at the perfect times when we need something.

The atmosphere is great, only a few tables, and classical music playing in the background. You can see the parents making the sushi right there and they will greet you and say goodbye as well when you leave.

If there is one sushi restaurant I could recommend, it would be this one. It's a must-try.

Parking: Parking is very easy, there is a parking garage right next to this place with plenty of open spots always.“

“This is my go-to teriyaki place. Is it a tiny little hole in the wall with limited seating? Yes. But the food is amazing and the people are super nice. They offer generous portions, and the ingredients are clearly fresh and high quality. Spicy chicken is bomb, beef teriyaki is delicious, but the crispy garlic chicken is really where it's at. Big pieces of meat with no gristle whatsoever. So so so good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp“

“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.“

“Terry went above and behind for my family to make my daughters rehearsal luncheon perfect in the private room. The food was delicious and the servers were very polite and helpful. Get the fried Rice ! Everyone said it was the best fried rice they have ever had! The whole day was perfect ! If you need to have a private event look no further then Terrys Kitchen . Thank you so much for helping us create this memory that will last a lifetime.“

“Wow, what an Amazing gem tucked away on the east side. This spot is 12/10! Hands down, from the ambiance to the flavors, I feel like I'm back in Japan! I will be back to explore the rest of the flavors these chefs bring to the table. Arigato!

P.S. I splurged on myself, and its still very Affordable.“

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

“Best teriyaki I've had in the Bellevue-Seattle area. Consistent quality, ready within 10 minutes of ordering, and the portions for the price are insane. You will easily get 2 meals worth out of an entree box. Great service, great food, I'd give this place more than 5 stars if I could!“
