50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Burien

“Fantastic sushi and people. Casual, kind and some of the best service and fish around.“

“I have been a huge fan of your all for about 10 years. Recently tried your dinner special and was disappointed. It wasn't made known that I would get 1/2 the normal amount of chicken. I may be ignorant but I figured shrimp tempura meant a sushi roll. Still love you all but damn dude, I was still hungry after this meal“

“experience. my niece, who was in town for a layover. Ordered for pickup, and food was on time plus the server was kind. Absolutely delicious 😋 😍 😊. Best chicken teriyaki and noodles ever! Grilled to perfection and great portion. Salad super fresh. Thank you for the experience.“

“The food here is very standard teriyaki chicken, the chicken was a little dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for a bit which I assume it had since it came out immediately. The rice was a bit clumpy and the salad was very standard. Overall for the price it was a very standard Seattle teriyaki with a good price of $13. I like that they had sauce bottles available for dine it.“

“Great spot for tasty Indo-Chinese food! The Szechuan chaap was absolutely delicious, and the portion was very filling for the price. The vegetable samosas with mint chutney were also excellent. There are lots of vegetarian options too. The staff was friendly, and the place was very clean. It's a casual, low-key restaurant offering good value.“

“Pho was decent. The woman at the counter initially hung up on me because she couldn’t understand me. Why? No clue. I had to call back where she had a customer speak to me on the phone, answer my question, and place my order. Got there and everything was fine. I might try it again but haven’t fully decided yet.“

“We’ve had a lot of sushi at all different price points around the city and this place is still the best for the price and the quality. We go at least once a month and every time they hit it out of the park. They frequently have amberjack as their special - highly recommend if they have it when you go.“

“Excelente service thank you 🙏“

“Sushi Kashiba will provide you a memorable meal with the freshest fish. The chef are amazing of selecting and preparing amazing nigri sushi with wonderful hot dishes for your enjoyment. The omakasa is a must while a nice glass of sake or wine will pair well with your meal. Highly recommend and will be going back“

“One of my favorite Japanese restaurants (not to mention the oldest in Seattle) and it has never disappointed me. The food is delicious and the service is friendly and warm. It’s a difficult time we are in with the pandemic of 2020, but Maneki has transitioned to take out, which it never did before, and is so organized that it blew my mind when I saw how clearly labeled each item was when I got home. I could easily tell which was part of the teishoku 定食 or “set meal.” Support this small business because it needs us now more than ever. 01 DEC 2020.“

“This is the fastest service for lunch in downtown Seattle. They have delicious food (my favorite is the Radical bowl, with raw salmon and tuna), a variety of options for everyone, and the owners and staff are wonderful. They're so kind and friendly.

The food is always fresh and delicious. I've been going here for 5 years, and the quality has always been good and hasn't changed.“

“So good!! The onigiri were huge and delicious. We really liked the California and spicy tuna. Agedashi tofu was a delightful surprise too. Lychee iced tea was on the sweet side but also very refreshing. So glad to have visited! The wait for 2 wasn’t bad at all, and there’s a nice outdoor waiting area.“

“My favorite sushi restaurant hands down. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Well worth the drive to get there.“

“The food was excellent. I ordered the chicken bowl and my husband order the pork teriyaki. The portions were generous and the prices low. It's was clean with friendly customer service. Be prepared to pay an arm and your first born for parking.“

“We went to visit Sumo Japanese restaurant for the first time after church service. The food and the service were great. I highly recommend this restaurant and the robots service was a great touch.“

“Had a tasty lunch! Thank you!“

“We had the sashimi and some offerings from the chef... to. die. for! Presentation was a work of art, and flavors matched!“

“Today is my first time ordering here via DoorDash and I am also one of those sushi lover that is very hard to empress with the freshness and quality but i tell you guys, their Chirashi Bow is the bomb!!! It was super fresh, and pretty big portion. Can’t barely finish it. Even their miso soup is perfect too. Not too salty or anything, just so perfect for me. Will definitely order again. Thank you Donburi for making my tummy happy 😊“

“Beware! Only gives amazing service & creates excellent dishes!! Husband and I had such a laid back and refined experience, even in the late hours of the evening when most servers are not at their peak of energy, our server Jayson was superb. He made top notch drinks for us, equally skilled at their signature beverages (cocktails and virgin mocktails). Highly recommend!“

“I'm at the hotel across the street. I was originally going to walk over to the mall area and the Olive Garden, but I saw the sign for teriyaki and thought it would be good to support a small business.

I walked in through the mini mart. The man behind the counter asked if I was looking for teriyaki after I looked a little lost. He pointed me to the other side of the shop and met me over there.

I wish I'd thought to ask his name. He was very nice and personable. I told him I'd be in town for a couple days and was looking for a good spot. I asked what's good on the menu. He pointed out a few things, but I settled on the spicy orange chicken.

When I checked out, I thought it might be a tad pricey, but I also recognize the importance of helping a small business. While I waited for my order, I went back to the mini mart side and got a ginger ale and some gum. The same gentleman rang me up there.

Then, back next door, I looked at my phone for a minute or two, and he came back to thank me for my patience. While thoughtful, I was not put out at all, I had only placed the order a few minutes before, and it really didn't seem like much of a wait.

My food came out in short order, he bagged it up and put all the things I'd need (utensils, napkins, soy sauce) inside before I asked. He left me with a smile, and I walked across the street to my hotel to eat.

Bringing it up to my room, I saw that it was a lot of food. Honestly, I SHOULD have only eaten half and saved the rest for the next day. But I didn't.

The orange chicken was perfect. Just delicious. The rice was just right. Honestly, I can't think of a thing that would make it better.

Highly recommend for both the food and the service.“

“I’ve been skeptical to try another Teriyaki place as the past couple of ones I’ve been to have been disappointing. I looked at reviews and photos and saw that this spot looked really good so I decided to go here for lunch today. I’m so glad I did, this will be my new go to spot. I came in and ordered Chicken Teriyaki to go, it also came with a free can of soda which was nice. The restaurant was clean and the service was very quick and friendly. The Chicken Teriyaki came with two scoops of rice and a salad. This is the best chicken teriyaki I’ve had in years, the chicken was grilled perfectly, the sauce on the chicken was just right, and the salad was fresh and super crisp. If you’re craving some good Teriyaki like how you once remember it being definitely check out Kim’s Teriyaki you won’t be disappointed.“

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

“I’ve been coming here ever since I was 5 years old. My mom would take my sister and I here to get a good cheap meal. I was visiting and came back to try it. It’s still as good as I remember. I hope this place continues to stay open. They have great daily deals and lunch specials.“

“The best teriyaki in town and the customer service is amazing“

“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.“

“5 stars would recommend to everyone“

“Pleasantly surprised by the teriyaki chicken. The food was delicious in a generous amount.

Ate in the restaurant and the food was brought out to me. Aside from a dark interior (it was already a gloomy day), the food was enjoyable.“

“I have celiac and Love that I can finally have teriyaki and fried rice! If your used to higher prices for gluten free food their prices are typical for gf. Worth it for not getting sick. I usually am working so I call ahead and get my food to go. Employees are always really nice, and the food tastes great! ❤️“

“If you're looking for an amazing dining experience, Sushi Kaunta is the place you're looking for! The quality and freshness is top notch. You will not be disappointed. You don't just get served and eat Sushi, its a whole experience that you truly need to try. Reservations are needed and trust me, its totally worth the wait. Happy dining!!!“

“Thank you so much Chopstick Teriyaki for making my day :)

I ordered over the phone for orange chicken. I asked if it tasted like oranges and she said no, but she through in an orange LOL! I had a good laugh and a bright day, thank you“

“Variety of rolls to choose from. We ordered Godzilla roll & Super Dragon roll. Both tasted great and affordably priced too. Very friendly staffs with cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“This place is truly a hole in the wall, but don’t let that fool you—the food was absolutely delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. We’re so glad we decided to give it a try because it ended up being a great find. You honestly can’t beat the prices for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re looking for great food without the hype.“

“Great food, but was really impressed with the service. The owner asked a few questions about our quick pit stop to get my daughter lunch, and made sure she had exactly what she needed. It wasn't anything than required that level of extra care but I was really happily surprised to get it when I was just expecting normal counter service without the extra touches.

And holy moly. The General Tso's chicken is perfectly crunchy and perfectly flavored. I'm not sure I've had better and I've eaten a lot of General Tso's in my life 🤣 Egg rolls are pretty tasty, too.

Definitely worth swinging by if you're in the area. Truly delicious food and impressively thoughtful service. Hope I have a good excuse to come down soon!“

“Asian Table in Kent is a tasty find! The sushi roll was fresh, with perfect rice and zesty flavors. Teriyaki chicken was juicy, charred just right. Staff’s friendly, making you feel at home. Quirky paper lanterns give it a cozy glow. Only gripe? Portions could be bigger. A solid spot for sushi and Asian bites!“

“Good food for a good price. The guy is very friendly, if a little busy. You have to knock on the glass or order online. It's takeout only, they do accept cash and credit cards. I reccomend this place to people who want a quick, and delicious meal to go.“

“Delicious and friendly. I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki and it was delicious. The staff were very kind and brought me cutlery and hot sauce. The restaurant is clean and modern with plenty of seating. If you come at lunch time, there will be many people picking up food or eating inside - it's popular for a reason. I would happily come here again.“

“I got the curry nikutama regular, 1 shrimp tempura, and the spicy fireball paste. Total was $20 which is a bit insane IMO for a fast casual place, but it did taste good. Wouldn't come here all the time but it's good and reliable, just a little expensive

Fireball paste is not too spicy, I added 75% of it and that was perfect for me“

“Good food and good staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will be back!“

“Spicy chicken and pineapple is on point!“

“This is what you call a hidden gem! IFYKY. Truly it has one of my favorite Japanese bar food, but the best thing here which was the most surprising is the Japanese spaghetti. Just think homemade from Mom right straight from her kitchen. I've been going here for the last couple years and it never misses. I absolutely adore this place. And the service is so lovely! Everyone here is just exceptionally sweet and kind. Its a spot you should bring a friend and share an app + spaghetti. Don't hate on it unless you tried it! The Japanese Kewpie mayo on spaghetti is insanely good.“

“We had shrimp Teriyaki and chicken and beef combo Teriyaki.
Both very good, the shrimp was slightly over cooked which is not bad but my preference is for it to be less dry like. The beef/chicken combo was very good, the chicken very tender with the just right amount of char giving it a very nice flavor. The beef was extra tender and tasty as well. I would come back to this place as service was good, service with a smile. The food came within a reasonable amount of time, not a long wait. Tables were nice and clean, no film residue which is pleasant to find. Nice neighborhood establishment.“

“I tried Musashi for the first time and it was alright! I got a chirashi bowl which ran to $20 after taxes. It was a pretty small bowl but it was decent. It wasn’t the best chirashi bowl I’ve ever had nor would I come back here for it. It was nice to try a new restaurant but it wasn’t anything too crazy or extraordinary. There are about only 4 tables inside so it’s definitely not like a “dine-in” restaurant. The majority of their orders are to-go’s. It was a bit difficult to locate the restaurant as it’s clumped with the apartments.“

“I first visited Ono Teriyaki in 1996 while working nearby for a while I got lunch there at least 3 days a week. It's always been good food and good customer service at a good price. It's no wonder that after 3 decades they are still there.“

“I was feeling under the weather and sushi always cheers me up. My partner picked up the 39R and the pork katsu curry rice. The sushi portion was big, so I was unable to dig into the curry, but the smell is mouthwatering and i cant wait to dig in later!
My partner said a lovely woman tended to the order and the photos of memories on the wall gave evidence to a life filled with love and Seattle. Excited to visit in person some day!“

“Cool concept, great execution and flavors.“

“Provide high-quality local ingredients and creative dishes, with a comfortable atmosphere and attentive service.“

“If you are at the market, come here, come here quick! Best fried rice we had in Seattle! The salmon, crab or pork fried rice was awesome. We did $25 all you can fit box. We took it to go, brought to the hotel room and tore it up. The beef, chicken and pork rib is also yummy! Better than some Chinese spot. Do the buffet style you won’t regret it!“

“Excellent food and taste.“

“First I should say sushi is my favorite food. This place is the best sushi I have had in my entire life, my recommendation spicy crunchy California and bagel roll (if you like cream cheese please trust me it’s so good, even if you don’t maybe try it because you may start to like it!!) And the tempura roll is tasty. The tempura veggies also are a consistent order for me. Been going for 20 years now, and will always be back!!!“

“Underrated Teriyaki and Korean food restaurant with easy take out. Best teriyaki on Rainier and perhaps in town. The only fault that it is closed on Sundays. Quite delicious food options. This is the place you want to go for a delicious meal.“
