“I'm a long time regular and this place has very good food and generous portions. Everyone here are nice. A lot of the customers seem to be very mean and rude from what I've observed during my visits. Hence, all the bad reviews and comments on here. People seem to use reviewing platforms as a place to whine about things if they don't get what they want. Nonetheless, I still think it's the best teriyaki around the area.“
“We always get takeout and folks working are very nice and order is accurate. Spicy chicken and dark meat chicken teriyaki are my favorites. I get a full order or each which makes four meals for me, great value. Meat is cooked to perfection and we have been getting takeout for years. You need to try this place!!“
“Amazing atmosphere, superb service, hidden gem. Sushi Kaunta is the best sushi/sashimi that I’ve had in the PNW and is on par with the same quality/tastes that I’ve had from other similar restaurants in Asia. I came across the restaurant online and thankfully the owner was able to help me with a table for one. The owner is extremely nice and provides personable service. I had the chef’s choice nigiri and ordered two additional pieces off of the menu, every bite was fresh and extremely delicious. Highly recommended and I look forward to when I can come back again! Definitely reach out in advance for a reservation and follow the clear directions on the website to make a reservation.“
“For about a week, I've been wanting sushi for dinner. I happened to be in Burien & drove by Tori Sake & Grill in a small, not fancy strip mall. Ordered miso & a couple of rolls - the Burien (quick deep fried) and a CA. Fresh, flavorful, can't wait to return with friends.“
“This is some very tasty chicken teriyaki. They use thigh meat which is juicier than breast. The meat was tender and flavorful. It didn't need the extra teriyaki sauce, but it punched the flavor up another notch. The mac salad was creamy and cooling; it was a great side to the chicken. I got the cucumber salad and it was also very tasty; I felt like I got the veg that I was craving.They only do takeout, so the atmosphere is okay, but not great. I wouldn't call it a bargain, but the portions were generous.I'll be back to try some other menu items.“
“Great experience.... Very friendly waitress.The food ? was fabulous and helpings are big.. Take home for sure..Vegetarian options: Options for vegetarian ? are available ?Parking: Parking is in a strip mall by T-MobilHave brunch ?Buy a new phone ? without having drive ...“
“I've been eyeing this place since they opened. Finally had the opportunity to check it out. My wife and I ordered 6 items for take out. The fish for all the rolls were fresh and everything was tasty! I took a look at the interior when I picked up my food and man... it looks like a fancy sushi restaurant in Seattle! I'm a big fan and we'll be returning soon!!! Someone complained about them being "overpriced" they're probably used to eating gas station sushi for 4.99. the price for their food is very fair and it's 100Xs fresher. Don't listen to those clowns.“
“This place has a legendary status to generations of people. My husband grew up going there and his dad showed several other people he knew when he was young too. And every single person my husband has told about this place has become a regular. I was resistant at fist because I'm not crazy about red meat anymore, and the moo yang is what everyone says is the best (it is super good). But I get the gai yang (chicken) and it is just unlike anything else I've ever had. Whoever opened this restaurant long ago had a vision from God above who said "go now, my child, fill the hearts and bellies of people off of 167 for generations", and so it was done. Praise be.“
“We go twice a month and every time I love it here even more. The presentation of the food is incredible and it tastes even better. The people that work here are so great at what they do, the service is top tier. Watching the guys at the sushi bar.. it's art and they are so fun to talk to. Best miso and karaage I've ever had!! The line seems long when you walk in sometimes but they get you seated in under 10 minutes.Absolutely worth it to check it out!!Bento box is my favorite way to go “
“This restaurant is absolutely outstanding!!! We stumbled on it during a day trip a couple of hours south of where we live, but we are absolutely making the trip back again and again because it's so worth it! The menu is jam packed with so many unique choices, we ordered a few things simply because the name sounded interesting, and we were blown away with how wonderful and delicious everything was! And with the traditional foods (yes, there are plenty of options there too) they were incredibly fresh and beautiful! The food, the service, the setting, all of it, was THE BEST - a hidden treasure!“
“Food was super filling and tasted great! Even having only a burger I didn’t even think I could finish it because of how full I got. I had the Chai milkshake too and I loved it. Service was great and our server was super nice and generous, and the restaurant itself was very cute and had cool decor. Definitely will be coming back sometime!“
“Had the tonkatsu ramen with chicken katsu. The chicken katsu was super tender and crispy and the sauce it came with and presentation was great. It came on a bed of fried noodles with an orange slice. They also give you a side of rice and a little salad that was very tasty. The ramen was flavorful and hit the spot. The atmosphere is very nice too and the service was great. All together great for the price.“
“Best burgers I've found in Seattle. And the shakes are well made, great consistency, and full of flavor. And unique flavors at that. The burger options of meat, toppings, and sauces make for a variety of options. It can be a costly meal, but lately, where isn't?“
“I've said many time teriyaki ain't my bag, but it's close to Chinese and with the lack of Chinese restaurants sometimes you have to compromise. The reviews for this place are near flawless , so I decided to give them a try. This place is off 3rd, and for anyone that drives third, you know traffic is thick and you are trying to find a lane to get through and not get caught by a light. So in the decades I've live here, I've never seen this place because 3rd is one way and no one has time to be checking their review view. Tiny spot, but clean and modern. I got a lunch special and asked for soup. The girl didn't charge me for soup, so either I got lucky, or they just don't advertise it. Miso was delicious and the food came pretty quick after. I had chicken an gyoza, it came with a couple small scoops of rice and salad. The salad was pretty sad, without a doubt the weakest side salad I've been served. No veggies, just lettuce and the dressing was watered down. I like places that serve a sesame ginger dressing, it really wakes up your taste-buds. The gyoza was really good. I would have likes it steamed and fried better than deep fried, but everyone is lazy these days. The chicken could have been a little more flavorful and moist, but it wasn't horrible. I'm going to assume they make their own sauce, It wasn't too sweet, but it had a different flavor. In the end, this place is better than the average spot, but it's not life changing and that what the current score eludes to. I think this place is a 3, leaning towards 3.5, but since Yelp doesn't allow half ratings, I rounded up because service was so good. That said, I'll probably come back to try the Chinese dishes. And I don't regret coming in today.“
“Momoya is my favorite sushi restaurant. Fish is always so fresh, sushi is exquisite *chef's kiss*, service is always timely and friendly. I love coming here to celebrate and for the occasional dinner treat.Food is soo good I came here two days in a row!“
“Was pleasantly surprised by my experience here. Food was great and staff are friendly. Love the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant. I also love that they stay open late. After a certain time in the night they no longer let you dine in (understandably) but you can take your order to go!“
“Visited Tomo for my 12 year old's birthday dinner. It was a great place for a multigenerational dinner with grandparents and aunts and uncles. Everyone shared a sushi boat with several rolls and pieces of nigiri and it was fantastic. The vegetarian sushi was also quite good. Recommend if you are looking for affordable sushi in a relaxed location.“
“Stop in on a chance while I was towing cars in the neighbourhood. It was really really good, Wish I had more time to enjoy it. I was in a hurry with the food. It was made fast service was great definitely going to stop back in and check out some of the rest of the menue In the future. Thank “
“Amazing Sushi Spot in Federal Way!??Not only are the sushi, rolls, and poke bowls delicious, but the service is also fantasitc! From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome and taken care of. Highly recommended for sushi lovers! ?“
“Sooooooooooo good! Better than Japan honestly! And I’m born and raised in Japan! They don’t cheap out on fruits! You get fruits in every bite all the way down the crepe. And look at it! The presentation of the crape itself is amazing! Well done to the beautiful people I met making these pieces of art! Picture perfect crapes! 1000/10!!!! ?yum!“
“In town for business, looked for good reviews for food near my hotel and this place peaked my interest from all the good reviews. Well the reviews were right the food was so good and very tasty with a very polite man at the register, definitely coming back to here again before I leave town. Thank you!“
“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!“
“Tell me something. You like teriyaki? Did you move out of state and find that good teriyaki in the US only exists in a few small pockets? Don’t sleep on this stuff guys. Was it Joni Mitchell who said “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t what you got til it’s gone?” Grab on to the things you love and hold them tight. They will make most things gluten free and not make you feel like a bozo for asking.“
“The hostess was very friendly and the food was quickly prepared and served. It was hot and fresh, and the fried rice was delicious. The General Tso chicken was just alright. It was very salty and had no heat, desperate being market as "spicy" on the menu.The price was also too high - a weekday lunch entrée with rice and a soda ran well over $20.Their soda options are limited to Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Root Beer, and Orange Fanta.The environment is very spacious and clean, with a warm and well-lit atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: Very spacious indoor environment, with plenty of room to fit a wheelchair at many tables.“
“I always pass this place on my way to work but since that part of Kent is zombie land I avoid going to any business there. I am glad I took the chance and didn't let the tweeker in the parking lot deter me. The service was fast, place clean, and food delicious.“
“I’m a regular at this place- always friendly folks, great food, and hearty portions. Like everything else- prices have doubled in the last couple of years but I’d rather spend $14 on chicken teriyaki with rice and salad or chicken yakisoba- enough for dinner and lunch the next day than the same amount for a burger and fries!“
“The shabu shabu that they serve here is really good. The restaurant has been around for over 30 years, and I've come here a couple times now. The food is extremely affordable when you look at how much you get especially in the shabu shabu meal. Six of us ate there and included sushi and it was less than $200 to feed all of us, though we did not have any beverages other than hot tea and water. The server lady was outstanding and worked unbelievably hard to take care of all the tables in the restaurant by herself. I'll definitely come back for shabu-shabu again!“
“Always open like their hours say and ALWAYS high quality teriyaki. It is My favorite Teriyaki place in south center/ Seattle area. When I first moved here many teriyaki places had poor quality consistently across the board or closed really early.Thanks you guys ?“
“The great service extended beyond just the food, including the staff and management. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable, adding greatly to the experience. Every aspect has been taken into account for how it effects customer satisfaction.“
“I have never had such an amazing experience! The young man that took our order was so kind and helpful and the entire environment was just wonderful. Great portion sizes and perfect prices you really can’t beat Bucks! Thank you guys for the wonderful dinner we will most certainly be returning very soon!!“
“I got the spicy chicken teriyaki (my personal default) combo with the four piece gyoza. I came in after lunch around 1:45pm after calling in my order. I picked up my order, paid, thanked the staff and left. It was a nice day, so I drove down to a park to enjoy the weather while I ate.The plating was three quarters rice, one quarter salad with the chicken on top of the rice. Portions were pretty generous. I would say there was about three chicken thighs worth of meat on there. The chicken was a little messy in its arrangement, but it may have been jostled on my journey down. It did look like the chicken was tossed in a sauce after cooking, as the cut sides of the chicken were colored by the sauce pretty consistently. But that also could have come from an additional application of sauce once the chicken was plated. The chicken itself was great. It had a little bit of char on it (as it should) but wasnt overcooked. It could’ve had a little more char on it, but what I got would suffice. I wouldn’t describe it as juicy, but it was not dry whatsoever. The sauce coating the chicken was sweeter than what I was used to, but balanced out well with the rice. They gave me an additional sauce cup that I put on top. That sauce was unusually thick, and took some work to get mixed/spread over the chicken. I honestly don’t even think it was necessary for me to use it, but it was fine. The chicken was good, bordering on great.The rice took up enough of the sauce to imbue it with some of its tasty flavor making the rice experience quite pleasant. The grains were of a medium to medium-short variety which is pretty typical of most teriyaki establishments. The rice didnt show any signs of it sitting in a rice cooker too long nor did it show any signs of overcooking. The rice stuck together in clumps pretty well even after absorbing some of the sauce. Overall the rice was good.The salad was of the iceberg mix variety with a few slivers of carrots in it, again pretty typical. Like it came from a grocery store pre-mix bag. Not that its a bad thing. The dressing was medium thickness, sweet and slightly acidic. It was pretty comparable to most teriyaki restaurants.The gyoza were fried well, and had a nice crispy shell. The shell itself did not show signs of freezer burn and had nice blistering from frying. The filling felt pretty average but that is saying that I still enjoyed it very much. The dipping sauce for the gyoza was not too soy sauce heavy. It had a nice acidity likely from a mirin or a rice wine vinegar and a touch of sesame oil for flavor paired very well with the dumplings.The meal was expensive though, I was out the door $21 poorer (not including tip). Now this could totally be my fault for not looking at the reciept or menu more closely, but I was expecting the charge to be more like $18 based on the images of their menu on google. However, they dont have a spicy chicken teriyaki + gyoza item on their menu specifically though they do have one thats teriyaki + 3 gyoza + 1 egg roll. So maybe I was charged a non-combo price.Overall, 8/10 experience on the meal. The price knocks down a point and the chicken not being fresh sliced does as well. But it still gets 5 stars because its great. Theres nothing wrong here and they get most everything just the way it should be. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area.“
“Delicious, fresh food. There's plenty of options; teriyaki, wok, sushi rolls, noodles, and more. The portions are big enough to share. I had the chicken and short ribs combo; the chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender, and the ribs, too. Service was friendly and quick. There's plenty of sitting space to eat there, or you can pick up and take home.“
“Honestly I am scared to share this place with anyone. It's great value and delicious. There's a huge variety of things to try, so much that I have my next 3 orders already nailed down. They have Chinese American, teriyaki, and Korean food! The owner was so sweet and friendly as well. Just a great time overall. Katsu rating was a 8.5/10 pretty darn good, crispy, not dry and well seasoned!“
“Food here are amazing!! All the sushi rolls and udon we had were outstanding! Highly recommend fried oysters appetizer! Hiyashi Wakame seaweed salad was great too. Service was great, friendly staff and they have a really nice atmosphere. I'm excited to go again with our friends this week. This place is not an average sushi restaurant. If you want good quality sushi, I highly recommend!“
“So delicious . New and exciting types of rolls and such. The prices are incredibly low. Between 2 of us we had 4 rolls,a bottle of sake and edemame. Including tip we walked out at just over 50$. It's very small and hidden but soooo very tasty and fresh.“
“I love eating teriyaki and I've been to several places all around the greater Seattle area. Teriyaki Box in Renton has a unique teriyaki sauce and great salad dressing sauce too. The service is friendly and fast and the tables are clean. The prices are reasonable for what you get and I would definitely come back again.“
“My partner really liked his food. He says the teriyaki chicken and gyoza was delicious. Pictured is honey garlic chicken. I wasn't sure I was going to like it and I didn't really, but I think my partner would go back again for more!“
“Nice clean Teri joint on East Hill Kent. Portions were good, flavor was excellent. I liked applying my own salad dressing versus getting drowned salad. Rice was perfect, very nice gyoza. Chicken portions could be slightly larger, as could the vegetables in the veggie yakisoba, but does not detract from my rating as the price was reasonable.“
“Fast, yummy and a great lunch spot. We had a group of 8 of us come in and they got our order to us in about 15 min which I was very inpressed with. Their food was well flavored and yummy. I’d stick with the teriyaki myself. The katsu was very well done as well and a giant quantity.“
“This place is a gem for Filipino food! I usually get the chicken adobo and it's SO good. The meat falls off the bone and you get a nice portion for UNDER $10 WITH rice. Rice isn't extra. They have various options for they lumpia as well! I can't have too much red meat so I usually get the ginger garlic and it's absolutely delicious. They're pretty nice with the sauce as well. if you really like it they have it bottled! The ONLY complaint I have is I wish I could get a little more sauce with the adobo but the rice just absorbs like all of it but that's just a preference really. You have to order online but check out is simple and easy! If you love Filipino food I highly recommend!“
“I don't think I've ever left a review here but their pork donburi had me in such a chokehold I have to come here all the time until I finally moved away. I'm coming up to visit my son for spring break and I will definitely be getting a dish to take home.“
“Arashi is my go to ramen spot so far in WA. I have tried quite a few places here and I've had ramen in Japan and Hawaii. I would say Arashi is the most on par with the better of ramens I've had. It's my go to spot whether alone or with people for a cold day. The Ballard location is hard to find parking and quite small so I like this location in terms of parking and size. The main con is definitely how pricey it is for noodles. It's at-least around $20 a person but that garlic broth is just the best so far.“
“Very good teriyaki and katsu. Portions are big and worth the price. Food is served hot and fresh. Staff is friendly. To go order was ready quickly. There is a lot of seating available if you would like to dine in. I plan on returning. Would definitely recommend!“
“Chicken teriyaki was delicious and moist. Price is cheapest for teriyaki that i been to so far but have had good experiences with different i luv teriyaki but still checking different ones they also do have restrooms not sure who said they didn’t you just have to ask inside just looks a bit outdated but great place for food“
“Well I would have given them 5 stars but for the price I thought it was a little high but they did give me a boatload of food they gave me a lot of meat which was good they said they were going to give me more beef they gave me more chicken too so it turned out good the only thing was you was 24 bucks which I thought was you know a little high I mean unless it's like two more stoops arrives maybe you know another salad it was good that they actually but the food was actually hot today which was unusual.“
“Exceptional flavors await at this teriyaki haven! From the first bite to the last, every dish bursts with authentic taste and freshness. The teriyaki sauce strikes the perfect balance of sweet and savory, coating tender meats and crisp veggies flawlessly. With friendly service and a cozy atmosphere, it's a must-visit for any teriyaki enthusiast!“
“I haven’t been here since probably 2 years and I went yesterday and got a ‘moms plate’ which is essentially a family meal and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of goodies you get with it for only 50$ (3 large plates of entrees with fried rice and lots of side dishes&soup) it’s supposed to feed 4 but it definitely can feed more than that. And my favorite sweet and sour chicken has gotten much better since the last time I’ve gone, they must’ve started using better chicken as it was a lot fresher and not dry. Owners are extremely kind and I’m always greeted with a big smile, certified auburn classic and I’ll be coming back more often!!“
“My husband got me takeout after I got home from day surgery yesterday. The food was good and fresh. I am removing a star because my husband tapped his card and somehow a 30% tip was added! Not cool. Generally we pay cash at restaurants and add a cash tip (18%) to the tip jar, but my husband used his last cash at the day surgery snack bar. We don’t ever use delivery services that charge restaurants 30% of their sales! I have read about ppl getting assigned high tips, but we had not experienced it until now. Beware!“
“New owners are awesome! This is a family operation and they truly care for their clients , quality of service and food. We tried the fried rice, yakisoba and gyoza, which were super fresh , crispy and flavorful and not greasy. Sooooo delicious can’t wait to try to the rest of the menu.“
“I love this hidden gem and will def be back! If you're looking for a relaxed and welcoming neighborhood spot with great food, this is it. The sushi was excellent. I got a Cali roll and something with salmon and cream cheese that was tempura fried (I forget the name), chefs kiss!! The owner and sushi chef were so nice and very personable, it made it feel really welcoming. They serve a wide variety of drinks (I saw margarita glasses) and are bringing karaoke back soon.“
