40 Best Japanese Restaurants near Bonney Lake

“I have always loved this place. The food and service have always been wonderful and delicious. The other day I was having an issue with Door Dash. I called to let them know. I was not mad. I just wanted them to know about it. The guy that answered the phone is the guy that is always there. He is amazing. He personally delivered my order and he did it with a big smile. Thank you so much for caring so much. You are amazing.“

“Honto Teriyaki is incredible!! My family has eaten here numerous times and even though it is a little bit of a drive for us it is worth it!! We have tried numerous dishes and they are all great! I even had them cater an event for me. The food was still hot when it was delivered. It tasted like I just got it from the kitchen. If I want Teriyaki I go to Honto Teriyaki!!“

“I tried Okasan Teriyaki with a friend. I had the Spicy Teriyaki, and it was pleasantly spicy without being too hot.

The salad was good, and the dressing was a little different from other Teriyaki spots I've been to, but good. The portion size was decent, and the rice was excellent.

My friend had Chicken Teriyaki, and he said it was excellent. If I was in the area and wanted Teriyaki, I would consider coming back.“

“Fish tasted fresh and the sushi rice was well made. You def eat with your eyes first, food presentation was quite nice. Waitress was attentive and kind. Atmosphere of the restaurant took me a bit by surprise, i didnt expect it to be so trendy just looking at it from the outside. Nice date spot.“

“I work in the same area and Sumo Sushi is my go to. They never disappoint! Great food, great service, great value.“

“My mom and I started coming here about two years ago and ever since it’s been a favorite spot of ours to get sushi! Now it’s a place my husband and I come all the time. The chicken katsu is so good it’s his favorite and the cream cheese wontons are TO DIE FOR❤️ this place is a great option if you want good sushi but don’t want to pay and arm and a leg at trappers!

100% recommend“

“Best sushi EVER. Love love trappers“

“Always tasty and large portions! Excellent restaurant.“

“we ordered several items from ramen to dumplings to fried rice to chicken curry katsu and everything was absolutely amazing! the best ramen I have ever had! will be coming back as a frequent diner for sure! highly recommend!!! Lastly the staff was so on point from taking our order to checking on us through out the meal! kudos to your entire staff!!!!“

“Friendly service, food is great, plenty of selections; Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods in one place. I had the spider roll and the Mongolian Beef. I didn’t order the combos on purpose but who knew the Japanese food and Chinese food complimented each other very well. Talking about a great service, my wife order the sesame balls for a dessert. 2 of 5 were a bit under cooked somehow. We broke them a part but didn’t eat them. One other staffs walked by and asked if we didn’t like. My wife told her those 2 seemed like they are not full cooked so we didn’t want to eat them but we are okayed. She then insisted that she asked the chef to make a fresh batch of 5 for us. This time they were perfectly cooked. I was impressed with her and felt very appreciative. I recommend this place if you like delicious food and something quick.“

“I’ve been here about half a dozen times now, and each time I’ve left extremely satisfied. It’s nice to have a good ramen and katsu don place here in Auburn. In fact, I prefer the ramen here compared to what was once my favorite place in Federal Way.

Both their spicy and black tonkotsu ramen are absolutely delicious. They give that first-sip satisfaction that just heals me when the days get colder and more gloomy.

During the warmer months, I’m kind of obsessed with their chilled tofu. The sauce it comes with rotates, so sometimes it’s shoyu based, and other times it’s a sesame dressing with shaved bonito flakes on too. It’s so simple and clean.

Their katsu curry dons are so comforting to me. More than anything, I could probably eat this every day.

Everyone who’s ever served me here has been really nice. I’m not a hugely talkative person, and so for me they strike that right balance between tending to my needs and letting me eat and chill.“

“Amazingly generous place. Great service regardless of dine in or take out. They took care of our order to go and blessed us with miso soup that we didn't order. Very giving restaurant. Recommend them highly. I've never had a bad meal from them. Golden Gate is one of my favorites.“

“This place never disappoints. The service is great and the food is amazing 💖“

“Best take out Teriyaki on the hill. The food is Amazing & Affordable and the staff is Outstanding and so Polite. We love this place“

“Wow! The food was so delicious! The place looks so clean! Love the service! Definitely going there again!!“

“Super cute little spot, very clean and the women taking orders was very nice. The food was hot and fresh, husband liked the chicken teriyaki. The shrimp tempura was crisp and crunchy on the outside and so tender on the inside. But let me tell you about the wonton soup!!! 10/10, five stars, highly recommended. The broth is glistening with flavor, the wontons are perfectly soft and the veggies are bright and not overcooked. So happy I stopped here, this wonton soup healed me. I wish I would have gotten more.“

“Super calm and quiet little hole in the wall teriyaki joint. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and the little tucked away places like these are always the best! And I was not disappointed! The fried rice was some of the best I've ever had, Tempura shrimp and gyoza seemed very fresh and super flavorful and crispy. I got the Mongolian Beef as my main dish and while it seemed like it was missing something, maybe it wasn't as saucy as I'm used to at other places, but who knows this could be the traditional way to make it so I won't jump to conclusions. It was still very delicious though!

The only little downside is that I wish the meal portion sizes were a little larger. But other than that, service was very kind, it seems like this lovely older man and woman running the shop all by themselves. I had walked in to tonight get a to-go order tonight and was probably waiting a little less than or around 10 minutes, this was a Saturday night too. The place wasn't very busy, but I think it definitely deserves more attention. I will be coming here again!“

“Delicious Ramen and dim sum“

“Loved the chicken katsu that I just demolished! The katsu had good flavor, katsu sauce is solid with a little sweetness and tang. Rice was a little dry, but we in Auburn, so i guess you got to appeal to the demographics. You don't come here for the salad although the dressing was good. The restaurant feels homey with a nice korean couple running the show. Overall, the food, homey feeling and sweet auntie and uncle makes this place a winner. 잘 먹겠습니다.“

“Anyone rating this place less than 5 stars has some serious mental condition. I’ve eaten here hundreds of times. I used to work next door and I’d eat here almost every day. THE BEST teriyaki you will ever find. I moved out of state and this place is one of the things I miss most about Washington.“

“I can't say enough good things about Modoo Teriyaki in Sumner! This place has quickly become my favorite spot for chicken teriyaki. The flavors are absolutely amazing, and the chicken is always cooked to perfection—juicy and tender every time.

The teriyaki sauce is the best I've ever had, with just the right balance of sweetness and savory goodness. The portion sizes are generous, making it a fantastic value for such high-quality food. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

If you're in the area and craving some delicious teriyaki, Modoo is the place to go! Five stars without a doubt!“

“We love sushi and this place did not disappoint 😊“

“I ordered a teriyaki bento and some kimchi. I found nothing wrong with the food. The woman who took my order was very hard to understand and she was very impatient. I am accustomed to getting kimchi served hot with rice, what i got was cold in a to-go container (it was to-go) , no rice. If offered I would have ordered some white rice. The furniture, booths, appeared to be second hand and repaired with colored duct tape. Alot of there inventory was stored in view. And, the luovered doors leading to the restrooms where blinds and hung backwards to each other. It was clean and had no unusual odors.“

“Incredible. Quite possibly the best plate of food I have ever had. My son and I each ordered the lobster, shrimp and filet. The chef made it fun but the taste made it unforgettable. The price was right and I can't wait to go back. Fantastic restaurant.“

“I Have taken taken meals out twice thus far and the meals were excellent! The service was polite and well received. I highly recommend Joy Teriyaki.“

“First time eating at Nami Sushi, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the small boat, which has 20 different items in the boat and 3 different kinds of rolls. We also ordered the tempura calamari and Agedashi with a side of Japanese beer (large bottle of Asahi). The wait staff are attentive and checked on us multiple times. The restaurant is clean and tables are nicely spaced apart, tables are cleaned immediately. The decor of this restaurant is pretty cool and unusual. We will definitely be back. Thanks Nami Sushi!“

“Excellent food here.Kung pao chicken was fried perfectly and a great combination of sweet and spicy. Just like my Chinese mother in law makes.Chicken teriyaki has a grilled taste and was also excellent.Portions are large.Extra teriyaki sauce at the table, so you can add extra sauce and flavor.The egg roll was massive and delicious.The kids meal is also an excellent value and delicious.“

“I moved out of Seattle and still think about this place. Is it gourmet? Nope. It is a metric ton of chicken and rice, and it is tasty. The customer service is...well they take your order and money and you get food, that is it. Perfect. I gave this place a 3.5 star review, but it is definitely a 3.5 worthy place, and if you know anything about Teriyaki in Seattle, 3.5 stars is the best spot for the best Teriyaki, because food is made with love not manners and customer service voice!“

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.“

“Got the combo with Chicken Teriyaki and Sesame Chicken for takeout, and was very pleased. Food was excellent, and even though they forgot to put my sauce on the side, they offered to remake it for me! I didn't have them remake it because that would have been just a waste of perfectly good food, but the fact that offered was nice.

Only small nitpick is that for a double plate like that, the amount of rice you get is pretty small. I assume it's the same amount of rice that you get for a single plate, so one more scoop would have felt more balanced.

Overall though, I think it's a pretty small complaint. Very good food, not too expensive. Definitely recommend!“

“We absolutely love this place! It’s run by a lovely older couple who cook everything themselves, the food is always fresh and full of flavor. The sushi is the best we’ve ever had, and the soups are amazing. Cozy atmosphere and truly made with love. Our favorite sushi spot!“

“Mom and I stopped here for lunch and the young man, Sean, behind the counter was friendly and very helpful. The starter was egg soup and it was really good! We had the Stir Fried Veggies with Shrimp and Teriyaki Beef & Chicken Combo. We were very pleased and will definitely return!
Dad wanted to check the place out and he enjoyed the lunch very much. He had Vegetable Yakisoba and I had the Beef and Broccoli.“

“Shari is the best !!!! I love her service she made me feel welcomed and had a big smile . I was comfortable and. Tipped her very well. If anyone need a raise is for her compassion at work !!! Let’s Go SHARI !!!!“

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!“

“Jennifer and Jiwon were both super friendly and nice, this was our second time here and it REALLY was the food that brought us back! Their bento boxes are GREAT for their price and portions, and their fried rice is THANKFULLY not bland, and has all kinds of vegetables! :) thank you so much for feeding us!“

“The people running this restaurant are so sweet and kind. This visit, I got beef teriyaki and Thai tea. It hit the spot. I went at an off-peak time, so I had the dining room to myself.

I've had their crab Rangoon in the past. It has always hit the spot when I am craving it.“

“We ordered here through DoorDash as they had a pretty good deal going on and my mom offered to buy us food since she injured herself and we were taking care of her. My mom got the spicy chicken teriyaki, my boyfriend got the chicken breast teriyaki and I got the regular chicken teriyaki. Food didn't take too long to receive and it was still hot despite coming all the way from Auburn.

Their salad is different from the typical salads from teriyaki places as it is more traditionally Korean style salads as it consists mostly of cabbages with other slices of vegetables with a creamy sauce. The sauce is also not the traditionally one you get from teriyaki places but it is in my opinion way better. It had a good tangy taste with familiar tastes other teriyaki places and fit well with the rest of the salad. As a Korean, I prefer this salad as I hate getting salads from other teriyaki places and seeing wilted or old vegetables with my salad as it makes it not appetizing or makes you question if you should even eat it. I saw no issues with my salad. My mom asked for no burnt ends on her teriyaki and they seem to have done a decent job at doing so, but definitely could be better. I didn't ask for it but my teriyaki wasn't too bad, so I don't think I need to make it a note. They also are extremely generous with the portions as there was just meat rather than topping the meats on more rice which I appreciate. The teriyaki was good, not too sweet or flavorless and sticking well on the meats. I appreciate that they give you a sauce of teriyaki with each teriyaki order, including the spicy version. Definitely want to try out their Korean bowls which seem like a good variety of food for a reasonable price.“

“My new favorite sushi spot!“

“Ordered the Family Comb just over an hour ago, EXCELLENT food!!! We will be back again!!!“

“Me and my boyfriend since we started dating back in 23 have always come here it’s our goto place! the people even remember our order now because we come here so often. We love the chicken teriyaki we come here at least once a week but this is our favorite place no where else compares and the food is the same delicious meal every time no inconsistency!“
