50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Covington

“Have been going to this place for quite a while now and I'm Never going back!! I went in there and got my family dinner and spent around $75.00 dollars well a time after that I went and spent almost $60 i got home to eat and my rice right along with my husband's the rice was hard not even cooked all the way. I called and a young guy answered the phone I told him and he asked me my name and he said that he will write my name in the book to replace my meal. So I go another time to try and get it plus ordered side items like potstickers and other items I told the lady that my name was in the book and she played dum! So last night after 4 I reorder it and went to pick it up and a different guy told me it will be $22 and some change and told me that they don't have a book with my name in it and he didn't even ask me my name!! SMH I think they should stand behind what they said! I will diffently not be going there ever again“

“We love Trapper's a bit pricey but well worth it. Only complaint I have is we ordered the teryiaki chicken tonight with some Sushi rolls. The teryiaki chicken was very bland had not taste to it. 🤔😒“

“This place has improved a ton in the last few years. We were pleasantly surprised at everything we got for our family Sunday dinner. Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, Sweet and Sour, and the Gyoza were all amazing! We will definitely be back soon.“

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

“Finally visited the new location! Their udon is so good! The owner remembers me from the original Kirkland location 5 years ago!“

“great food,and supper friendly stuff will be back again“

“I’ve been to a lot of ramen spots in Japan and Washington, ordered the spicy tonkotsu from here, it has a small kick, nice and creamy broth, and a generous portion of noodles. Made my top 3 ramen spots in Washington. Cute and decorative little spot it was also really nice that it wasn’t so loud in there. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you’re in the area.“

“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.“

“I’ve been to many sushi spots, spanning from Seattle to Los Angeles to New York to Japan. Hands down, without needing to take a trip to Tokyo, this is the best sushi spot. If pizza is about the dough, sushi is about the rice and this place hits different. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I’m staying at the hotel just across the street, and I couldn’t resist stopping by this gem! Let me tell you, it was an absolute thrill! I ordered the Chicken & Katsu along with a side of egg rolls, and wow, did it blow me away!

The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection! Instead of drowning in teriyaki sauce, it had this fantastic coating that gave it an incredible sweet teriyaki flavor while keeping it moist and packed with that delicious wok taste.

And the katsu? Oh my goodness! It was breaded to perfection, delivering that legendary Katsu crunch in every single bite! The in-house-made Katsu sauce added just the right touch of sweetness, making it an unbeatable combination.

As for the egg rolls, they were pure bliss! Crispy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor, they absolutely hit the spot!

I can’t recommend this place enough! You have to check it out!“

“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.“

“Great spot! We always get quick service and leave happy. There is a lot of variety in the dishes offered, something to please everyone (including kids!). Chicken karaage is a favorite, and we love the drinks too. Will be back again and again!“

“I think the ownership has changed recently and honestly, the food tastes even better now! The chicken is perfectly grilled, the teriyaki sauce is richer and more flavorful, and the portions are still huge. Everything feels fresher and more balanced than before. The new team seems to be doing an amazing job. Definitely my favorite teriyaki spot around! 🍱🔥“

“One of my favorite teriyaki places to order from. They have been consistently great for many many years now. For as long as i can easily recall anyway.

The service is always great, the food is never anything but excellent. And prices are very reasonable.

If your in the MV area, or just driving through 4 corners stop and get lunch or dinner here. You'll be glad you did.“

“I wish the teriyaki sauce was thicker and there was more of a char on the chicken but I can't really fault them for that being their style and because the chicken was very moist and tasty. Very reasonably priced, especially the specials. The staff was friendly. The place was clean and had a good, peaceful atmosphere.“

“I only order the regular teriyaki chicken. It's consistently moist with a decent char. There's a good amount of chicken and sauce. It's a good value especially since it comes with a soda. Friendly service. Check 'em out.“

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

“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!!!“

“Truly excellent teriyaki.

Had friends in town who can’t eat gluten, and they wanted whatever I considered Seattles signature dish so I had to find them teriyaki. Called Himitsu and they kindly explained my options (all the teriyaki is gluten free, the fried rice CAN be if you specifically order it gluten free). When I picked up the food they were kind and friendly with a big smile.

The food itself was fantastic. Fried rice was excellent, and the teriyaki is of the less saucy variety. While the chicken didn’t have a lot of sauce it was well marinated and seasoned so it was very juicy and flavorful. Our favorite was the beef. It was thin, tender, and no unpleasant gristle to be found.

Our friends loved it and we now have an option we’d happily recommend to anyone, whether they can have gluten or not!“

“I. Love. This. Place. They are our go-to teriyaki spot and have been for years, but what I really love is that they are family run and get to know and care about their customers. Highly, highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“10/10 great experience + food. The service was the best, especially being helped by Tristan, the manager who helped with this location. He engaged us in a fun n friendly game of number guessing, we talked about football teams and came to a consensus agreement about Raiders being our least favorite haha, the SB halftime show, and overall he delivered such excellent customer service. It was refreshing to receive great service + energy like this, with seldom customer service like this nowadays it seems. Going back to this place a second consecutive night!!“

“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“

“I tried this place for the first time today. Ordered spicy chicken teriyaki. I didn't like how they put onions and carrots mixed with the chicken. They also didn't give teriyaki sauce to put on your rice. The food was just alright, for what I spent ($15) There's plenty of better teriyaki places in Kent.“

“Cool concept, great execution and flavors.“

“Amazing customer service and they give you so much food! Literally, 2 meals easily fed my family of 4. The quality is top notch! Highly recommend. Definitely our family go to for teriyaki. Owner really cares about the customers and workers.“

“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've been eating at Kami Teriyaki for years, and it's my go-to place for General Tao's Chicken and other dishes. So tasty!

Yes, like all restaurants their prices have skyrocketed and portion sizes aren't huge, but that's pretty normal everywhere now so I can't fault them for it. They solved the parking problem for pick-up, which is great (there are reserved spots for their restaurant).

Last I checked they switched sauces for their spicy chicken teriyaki and the new sauce isn't good, but all of their other food is great.“

“If you live in Renton or in northern Kent, this Teriyaki shop is amazing. The food is worth every penny, which isn't pricey at all. By the way, one of the only teriyaki shops that gives you a different kind of Salad dressing, and not the same thousand island type of dressing.“

“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.“

“Wow, this is GOOD sushi! So fresh and flavorful. We took advantage of the 3 roll bundle special and I was so impressed by the options, value, and taste. We did takeout and the lady who helped over the phone was super nice. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

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

“Fantastic sushi, amazing service and very cute atmosphere. Will be back with friends. Also special shut out to the nicest waiter ever who gave me a loot of extra ginger because I mentioned how much i love it. Also The sushi rolls I had were absolutely delicious.“

“Oh my gosh, they make the BEST Mongolian beef ever. I have my husband order that & the rice noodles on the side, so delicious. I always have hubby get 2 orders so I can have for the next few days lol updated post because the last few time going they have forgetting our salads & rice noodles in the side. I was told last time they would give it to us next purchase did they no instead they forgot again with this new order“

“Great food and quick service“

“Good Teriyaki, pretty simple and straight forward. I feel like it’s hard to mess up teriyaki but you never know. It came with a little side salad. Teriyaki chicken, Teriyaki beef and shrimp combo they were both good. Surprised that the shrimp came on a screwer with pineapples but it was good. Only a few pieces tho. Kinda worth it depends if you really like shrimp. Overall pretty decent place. Nothing to rave about but also nothing to complain about.

Vegetarian options: Not very many vegetarian plates.“

“Everyone loves their karaage chicken...huge servings! They also have the best Tom Kha...the flavor is spot on! Pad See Ew, drunken noodles, etc are all wonderful. Portions are large & prices are reasonable. But, biggest reason I keep returning is their terrific staff...just the nicest people!“

“wow this place was amazing. teriyaki chicken and spare ribs was super good, toooo goood! portion size was superb! price is affordable! i’m glad i decided to stop by here.

thank you, yeah sure I need to clock out
from a california guy!“

“Food good service ok. music sucks. The loud obnoxious music swearing and carrying on about sex didn't seem to bother the two other customers in there. Not sure you would want to bring small kids inside. Food was actually good. The service was not the friendliest but ok for a Saturday night last night.“

“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.“

“Great food and great service! The place was clean, the prices were reasonable, and there were many options to choose from. I loved the orange chicken and beef fried rice. The egg rolls, fried chicken, and short rib teriyaki were also really good. Would definitely come back!“

“One of my go to teriyaki spots. The servings are generous with pretty big portions every time. Prices are very fair for the amount and quality of food you get. Service is always quick and efficient, I usually wait less than 10 minutes. Consistent, reliable, and definitely worth coming back to.“

“Shiva provided the best service I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant. Michael came in to relieve him and made sure we were fully satiated with our meals. Both Shiva and Michael gave us a great conversation and delicious food. Some of the best presented sushi as well. I’ll definitely be back. I would give this a 10⭐️if I could.“

“Been going here since i was in second grade, so roughly almost 20 years. My family used to have a shop in the shopping center, so my cousin and i (Tony and David) used to walk over and eat almost every week after school.

Get the Chicken Katsu. I kid you not, it’s the best Katsu i’ve ever had. Out of all the teriyaki joints in the area, hands down, they make it best. It’s crispy, crunchy, tender and just the right amount of chew! Paired with rice, salad and their katsu sauce. You won’t get none of that dry, soggy and fall off breading like you do at other places.

Also, if you’re not a fried food fan, their Chicken Teriyaki is delicious! Classic, tender, moist chicken with rice. My #2 next to Chicken Katsu.

For the owner and their family,
Thank you for serving the community for the last 2 decades. As a kid to an adult, i’ve always felt so welcomed every time i stepped in. I will always drive across towns just to come and eat here. Thank you, and will see you again and again!

P.S. to the family: If it is ever time for the owners to retire, please dm the Katsu recipe! Really! Haha“

“This place is so amazing , they fill their food to go plates to the rim like teriyaki places used to do in the 1990s! Their chicken breast Teriyaki is most flavorful and the people that work there are kind. It is a very popular spot and I can see why the food is absolutely taste worthy!“

“The food was so delicious. The resturant looked clean. The lady in front counter was really nice. I live far away, but I keep coming back to order more. I heard their chief has more than 20 years of experiences in teriyaki resturant and they use quality food for the customer.“

“My recent visit to this teriyaki spot was absolutely outstanding. First, the salad surprised me with its super creamy, delicious dressing that was perfectly coated on crisp greens. Equally impressive was the rice, which had a uniquely rich and creamy texture that complemented every bite. The star, the teriyaki chicken, was amazing—tender, generously glazed, and packed with flavor. Each component of the plate worked together in harmony for a fantastic meal. Beyond the food, I was pleased to find the restaurant itself was very clean and well-kept. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the comfortable atmosphere. This is clearly a place that cares about both quality and the customer experience. I will absolutely be returning very soon. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this teriyaki place for a satisfying and tasty meal.“

“Still sitting in the parking lot just had to rave about the service!!! Loved Sarah B.
Costumer service, was offered a free appetizer while waiting for our order. Loved the photos on the wall of all the support. Definitely will be back, 10/10 in my book.“

“I've been ordering sushi from here every week for over six months. They know me as the guy who orders the Philadelphia roll with fresh salmon on top)) These are the best sushi I've ever eaten and I've been to many different places, believe me, it's true. Only here the most delicious sushi.“
