31 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!“

“Wow this place is better the all the other sushi places I’ve gone to in the area. Not only that but the waiters are wonderfully friendly and even the ones sitting next to me of the clock were outgoing and helpful enough to avoid my clumsy ordering habits and point me in the right direction of good food. Strongly recommend the specialty rolls“

“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.“

“Best teriyaki ever!! Great portions and they have the best tasting chicken teriyaki, short ribs, and salad. They also make a delicious yakisoba which is like a japanese stir fried noodle dish. If you like spicy, they can make any of the dishes spicy and so good. Service is always so friendly. Definitely come support this family owned business if you’re in the area.“

“Hubby and I both had chirashi bowl. It was a decent amount with delicious fish. I especially loved otoro that melted in my mouth! ? I also prefer ordering at the kiosk, paying upfront, and leaving when ready without having to wait for a server so that was a plus! I highly recommend this place.“

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

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

“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“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“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 vegetarian so I got the veggie onigiri and inarizushi options. We liked the onigiri, though it could use more salt. The inarizushi were kind of disappointing. Definitely not worth $3 a piece. I wish they had done something more creative and filling than just scoop some corn into the tofu skin. A corn + rice + miso vegan butter would be more filling, tasty and kind of a Hokkaido inspired inari.“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“Best sushi for the price in probably all of King County! Been going to Musashi’s since I was a kid, the one in Seattle and so so excited they have one in Bellevue! We order from here probably once a week.. $12 for big sushi rolls are unheard of these days. They’re quick, fresh, less expensive and delicious!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Update: More and more I realize that the ice cream is served in cups so that the center is hollow. Not the first time this has happened. Not entirely sure if this is by accident or design, but it feels like one is getting less value these days. Changing from 5 to 4 stars with a bump down in the service category.

Original review: Love the onigiri, cream filled croissants, and other pastries not to mention the yuzu soft serve on a cone, which I’m a fan of. My only issue is with the seasonal yuzu parfait that is exorbitantly priced at around $17 with tax. For what you get, it feels like it should cost half of that. It would be nice if the staff checked the availability of ingredients before charging as well, but I find the staff professional and very courteous otherwise.“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“The food was amazing
The sushi rolls and salmon belly were freaking phenomenal
Depending on the server I feel as tho a bit rushed with taking our order and didn’t feel patient. Me and my friends all knew what we wanted but the attitude with the server didn’t feel very professional. I do understand we came a little over an hour before closing but didn’t expect to be spoken to in a tone that felt harsh and rushed.

Overall the food was still really amazing and will still be coming back!!

Parking: Pretty easy to find parking on a slower night.“

“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!“
