25 Best Japanese Restaurants near Dupont

“A small family owned business owned by a very nice Korean family. I would describe this as pan-Asian cuisine. The Korean food is top notch as expected since the owners are Korean! They are more than willing to show you what Korean food is all about! Very convenient fast casual spot. I would definitely come back if I’m in the area again!“

“I’ve been coming here for a couple of years when I’m in the area for work. It’s reliably good food, really kind service when I eat in (where I always feel taken care of), and always clean and welcoming. I look forward to getting take out here!“

“Located in the entrance to Dupont. The Good_ Really good terioki and yakisobi. Other yakisobi places only give you like 3,4 or possibly 5 pieces of shrimp in your meal. I was pleasantly surprised to find i had at LEAST 10. a plus!
The negative. _Quite expensive! We got 1 dish of Terioki, 1 dish of Yakisobi plus 2 orders (4) egg rolls, NO drinks, NO other extras and our bill was nearly $50. Yes_it was delicious but I question the price tag.“

“My favorite sushi place. Unassuming place run by the NICEST people. I come back because the food is delicious, but more so because it is run by the kindest, hardworking people. You can have the worst day and you’ll leave this place happy and full of delicious food.“

“This restaurant is top 3 lunch/dinner spots in the state. I eat here at least once a week. Food is always prepared perfectly, prices are fair and competitive, and the staff are kind and engaging. I bring my kids also and they have a great kids meal that even my picky toddlers will finish. Recommend the lunch time specials- food portions are large.“

“The employees or owners are so very kind. There was a small mistake in a Togo order and they went WAY FAR and BEYOND to make up for it. It was barely a mistake in the first place but they treated it as if it were a million dollar mistake lol. Thank you so much and will be back.“

“Chicken so soft it's easy to cut with the plastic fork, seared just enough with the best flavor. That's just the teriyaki. Sweet & Sour reminds me of the old Great Wall off 6th Ave. Noodles were great. Drinks are typical but a definite place to revisit.“

“2 men after a very rainy 5 mile beach hike found this a great experience!
It was a perfect temperature to warm us up. Food was amazing, their daily chicken teriyaki special, gyoza and Won Ton Soup was perfect. The woman server was extraordinary. We will be back.“

“The Zen has the best food and great workers! We will be back soon❤️“

“First time order for pick up and so glad I tried them. A friend picked up so I am not sure about parking, etc. The sushi was fresh and delicious. I ordered the tuna and yellow fin. The teriyaki short rib was cooked just right and generous portion. Crab Rangoon was very tasty and I could tell it was made to order. Great menu with lots of options and very easy to order online. Kind and accommodating service. Highly recommended!“

“​It’s been a while since my last visit, and I noticed the management has changed. The food tastes even better now, and the restaurant has a really trendy, stylish vibe! Since the food got so much better, I think I’ll be coming here pretty often.“

“Be going here over 15 years. Never disappointed!!!! Great people and great hosts!!!“

“The definition of a mom & pop shop that cares about what they do. Food is consistently great. I always order take out and the dishes are still always well-prepared and presented, quick service, etc. If you’re in the area and haven’t tried it then you’re robbing yourself.“

“Tasty food and portions are large. We dined in and were provided with extra bottles of dressing and another spicy sauce. My husband had the bento (teriyaki chicken, bulgogi, fried rice and gyoza/egg roll) and I had chicken katsu that I shared with my little one. There was plenty of food to share. The server/owner anticipated our needs and offered to go boxes before we even asked and gave us complimentary fortune cookies. The restaurant was clean and atmosphere was great. We look forward to going back and highly recommend this place.“

“This is my favorite place to eat. Great food, great service. Price is right. Lots of yummy food cooked to your liking. Definitely recommend going.“

“I’ve been here several times for both dine-in and takeout, and it’s always been a great experience. The service is consistently friendly, and the food is amazing. The rolls are flavorful with plenty of great options to choose from. The chef’s choice nigiri always includes excellent selections, and the teriyaki dishes are delicious as well. Highly recommend!“

“We had so much fun! It was our first time there! It was so good and the waiters and waitresses are super friendly! The food was so good! Thank you for a great birthday 🥳“

“The food is good, BUT in that past year they have become SOoooo EXPENSIVE and its NOT worth the money any longer. The portions used to be larger and now they barely fill their boxes. Not going back because of those reasons. They need to drop the prices again and add more food to boxes again.“

“I have ordered takeout from here many times in the last few years and can't complain. High praise from other reviews are good indication of consistent quality meals they've been serving, hot and fresh everytime and its served timely.

My favorite is the Chicken Katsu and for Lunch Special get Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu combo for $13.99 (pre tax). It comes with two scoops of rice and side salad. Chicken Teriyaki is tender and has a great smoke charred flavor, sauce is not overly sweet or salty. Rice is good quality and texture, cooked perfectly.

The owner is friendly and the restaurant is kept clean. I read on other recent review that dine-in customers were served their meal in take-out containers and I can confirm that I saw a couple eating in at the restaurant today (while I was waiting for my takeout) and they were eating in takeout container as well. I know some places do this by default so I don't know if they've always done it this way, but I guess if I am eating in, I would prefer to eat my meal on a plate.

The location is in a newer plaza complex in Lacey with plenty of parking and easy to get in and out roundabouts. Great pricing too. They kept it true and consistent through thick and thin over the years!“

“We order from Yum Yum Teriyaki often and are always satisfied with their food and service. We especially like the house Yakisoba and beef broccoli, but all their food is delicious! The owners are very friendly and work hard to please. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

“one word...EXCEPTIONAL! An absolute must visit.“

“I have been coming here for years and the food is awesome!“

“Love this place great food fast service“

“From mine n my roommates regular HT#3. Roommate likes the bigger menu and food but #3 is alot more relaxing. the remodel is nice but it seems to have cut least a 1/3 of seating guess you needed the added kitchen space 👍. I've been coming to this location since atleast 2013. when my family would come and get unlimited sushi for birthdays had a sake bomb aswell. today (04/25/21) I had the "Bad Girl" roll extremely yummy. also had the crab rangoons which were good aswell.“

“Great local Asian food place that has delicious food and yummy bubble tea. The prices are cheaper then many of the surrounding teriyaki places. They have seating, but not tons of them. My family enjoyd all the food and really enjoyed all the bubble tea.“
