50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Edmonds

“It was everything I expected. The food was delicious! Thank you very much!“

“Delicious and affordable place not too far from Edmonds downtown. Owners are very friendly and kind, making sure they meet your needs. We wanted to make a take out order for the Kimchi Creamy Udon, and have the udon cooked separately since we were planning to have it the day after. They initially said they never done it before and said it might be difficult, but made an exception and prepared it in a way we needed it hearing that we lived far away. We cooked it the day after, it was delicious!!

We had LA kalbi teriyaki and fried chicken in the restaurant too. Can't go wrong with LA kalbi. We were surprised at the HUGE portion of the fried chickens. One comment is that the Yangnyum fried chicken had more sour taste to it than sweet for our palette (we're Koreans). Wasn't sure if it was just a one-off thing or if that's the taste they prefer.

Saw a lot of people dining in and making take out orders. Would recommend giving a try if you're in the neighborhood.“

“Took a chance on this spot on DoorDash and extremely impressed, top contender with the best teriyaki I’ve had in Seattle. Chicken quality seems good, the cook on the chicken is great — not rubbery, not overly charred with black bits from the grill, the sauce is well balanced between sweet and salty. Found my new spot, will continue to order from here as long as they maintain the same quality standards.“

“We love this place so much. It has been such a great little restaurant over the years. The Korean owners are fantastic and it's wonderful to come in and use the technology that we have to speak Korean and have it translated from English.“

“5 Corners teriyaki has been one of me and my family’s places to eat. (Until recently) we bought some teriyaki on New Year’s Eve and the transaction still went through. It was 50 dollars worth of food so you think they would refund it, right? Nope the 50 dollar refund wasn’t possible because the guy working there didn’t understand what we were talking about.“

“I had Toshi's for the first time today after walking past it for almost two years. It was delicious! Fast and friendly service. wish I had stopped in sooner.“

“Kazoku in Edmonds is one of the best dinners we have had in a long time! Their uni was an amazing experience! The sushi was all very distinct and delicious. We enjoyed the yuzu beer which paired well with our saba shioyaki but the egg custard soup was the crown jewel!!! Oh the silky texture and delicate flavor was my most favorite. The service and chefs were a joy, we talked of sumo and laughed at each others jokes as we tried their absolutely spot on reccomendations. Thank you Chef Bobby, Chef Robert and Chef Stevan! Thank you Garret, Nancy and Sumin <3 it was a pleasure to top it off with red bean mochi to go!!“

“I don't usually write this kind of lengthy review, but this spot is a genuine gem that absolutely deserves more recognition.
I’ve been a loyal customer here ever since I found it. Hands down, this is the best food I’ve ever had.
The chef’s focus on every single detail in the dishes is simply better than what you get at a lot of those so-called high-end restaurants. The place might not be as flashy as some other ones, but the real quality is in the careful preparation and the plating of everything they serve.
The ingredients are obviously top-tier, but the real genius here is how they consistently nail the perfect balance of temperature, texture, and flavor. The more you know and enjoy food, the more you will appreciate the level of skill and care involved.
Moreover, I always appreciate the warm welcoming from the chefs and the staff.“

“We recently treated ourselves to AA Sushi and were super impressed by the food, service and ambiance. They had a wide selection of items that were expertly prepared and ready quickly! I was amazed to get an array of salmon rolls at an affordable price as part of their lunch special. The service was friendly and super helpful. I have been looking for a good sushi restaurant in North Seattle over the past two years and I think I have finally found our spot! We will definitely be returning.“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“The food here is absolutely amazing! I seriously did not know it was possible to sell such generous portions of fresh sushi at this price. My big back friend and I (also a big back) shared a family combo that was only $69 after tax that had 4 gigantic rolls and a boat-load of karaage. We weren't able to finish and had enough leftover for another meal. On top of all that, the service is super friendly and the atmosphere is nice and cozy. The staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and more. I'm a self-certified sushi connoisseur and I can confidently say this is the best value sushi I've ever had by far. The salmon nigiri especially was super fresh and had blanket-sized slices of salmon. This is 100% a must-try restaurant.“

“I ordered for take out for the first time from Akebono tonight. I’m terrible about doing reviews, but I had to make a point to do it for Akebono. It was amazing!!!! This will definitely be my new go-to place to satisfy my sushi craving!“

“Toyota Sushi is a gem in our community! As a family-owned business, they truly go above and beyond to make every visit special. Their food is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted dishes that never disappoint. The service is top-notch—always accommodating, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I've been a loyal customer for a while now, and I can confidently say I've never had a less-than-excellent experience here. If you're looking for a sushi spot that combines great food with warm, personalized service, Toyota Sushi is the place to go. Highly recommended! Five stars all the way. Ps. We love our Tia Helen ❤️“

“Every time we go to Ichi Bento, we always notice how nice and welcoming the staff is. The bentos are such a good deal, you get a lot of tasty food for the price. It’s one of our go-to spots, especially since it’s hard to find affordable, delicious eats in Seattle.“

“Super clean restaurant and quick service! Most important of all, the food is phenomenal! Single best katsu curry in Lynnwood.“

“I’m a foodie and am a fan of gourmet restaurants. Sakuma is one of the BEST Japanese restaurants I’ve been to-ever! I’ve lived in Japan before. Sakuma’s so good that it’s like being back in Japan. 👍🏼 Itadakimasu, Totemo Oishi!!!“

“The food is tasty, especially for the large portions you get. I really like all the kimbap they have (especially the triangle tuna kimbap). It was properly seasoned with a good kick to it! This place deserves to be a lot more busier than it typically is.“

“I have been going to Ohana Teriyaki for years. Always great yaki. Today I went in to grab some take-out and found out that the owners sold to a new owner. I met him, he was working the front counter. Apparently it had only been 6 days since the sale. He kept the ENTIRE kitchen staff. I brough home our beef yaki and chicken katsu combos and they were great. It was delicious, hot and he got the orders out fast. Will continue to go to Ohana as long as the quality stays top notch. Highly Recommended.“

“I really enjoyed the chicken fried rice here! It has a smoky flavor that makes it stand out, and the portions are generous. I also appreciated that they offer free refills and provide a self-service setup for sauces, including salad dressing and spicy options. It’s a convenient spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I’ve been going to this place for years. Possibly decades. It’s not fancy, but if you want good quick teriyaki made to order, ready to pick up on the way home (with an advance order)? This place is your spot.

The gyoza is done especially right in my honest opinion.“

“I’ve been coming to Nasai Teriyaki for just over 10 years for my Teriyaki fix, and they’re consistently the best around. It’s actually hard for me to eat teriyaki elsewhere because Nasai is just that good. Things are made to order (and they ask me for level of spice!), and the resulting flavor is perfectly charred and absolutely delicious.

I always get the spicy chicken & gyoza combo, but also love their chicken yakisoba. My household will always go out of our way to eat here when we have a teriyaki craving!

Easy strip mall location with a parking lot, and the folks running this small business are so kind and hardworking. I hope to continue to visit for many more years!“

“It’s the best teriyaki I’ve ever had! Huge portions, great service!!! The noodles had perfect seasoning and texture—super satisfying—and the rolls were amazing. The teriyaki goes without saying, so I highly recommend trying it yourself!
100% coming back!“

“Fantastic teriyaki spot! The food is delicious, fresh and not sparing in any of its ingredients. The pricing is unbeatable for what you get and salad is included with menu items that normally would not receive a salad elsewhere. You can't talk about this place without mentioning the phenomenal staff! They are very kind and very helpful. This is far and away my favorite teriyaki place!
PS try the combo yakisoba it is delicious!“

“We ordered a lot of different types of plates including sushi. The sushi was amazing and so were all of the other dishes. Tempura was so light and crispy exactly the way it should be. We also ordered two desserts and they were unusual but absolutely perfect. Would definitely recommend this place“

“Been coming here for years. Nice staff and good food.“

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“So delicious! I love that the teriyaki sauce is secret homemade sauce AND available for purchase!!!!!! The portions are generous and the place is clean and always smells amazing!!!!! The waiter always changes the tv so my boys can watch kid appropriate shows!“

“Can’t even remember how many times I’ve been here! I’ve tried the chicken teriyaki, shrimp yakisoba, beef short rib… my absolute favorite is the chicken katsu!! I think I’ve had it over 10 times already, it’s sooo GOOD!!
The service is always great too, super nice and friendly:) Definitely recommend! Great prices and big portions!“

“The food is amazing here and so is the service.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was in middle school. It was always our favorite teriyaki spot in Seattle because the family that first opened it was so friendly, and the food was always delicious.

I’ve seen it change ownership probably 3 times. The quality has gone up and down. Overall, it’s probably not as good as it used to be, but it’s still one of the better Seattle teriyaki shops.

Giving it a high rating in hopes that it remains in operation, and to hopefully motivate the owners to keep up the good work!“

“The food quality is not as good as it used to be. The sushi rice fell apart to the touch. Other foods were good. It was very busy with people waiting for seats to open. We felt uncomfortable to order dessert with people eying or table. Maybe the large number of costumers makes it difficult to maintain the quality of sushi...“

“Classic greater-Seattle area teriyaki place.
The portion size is on par with most places roughly three thighs two mounds of rice and a little iceberg lettuce salad.
The chicken was very lightly marinated, but fresh and chargrilled to a perfect juiciness.
A light sauce that hits the salty sweet balance of a teriyaki sauce, not thick or gloppy.
The gyoza are crisp and filled adequately no surprises there.
The menu is simple in comparison to most teriyaki places that have a wide range of other Asian fare, this was more straightforward.
Overall, a solid teriyaki joint and worth checking out.“

“I'm from Canada and was visiting Seattle when I came across this place. I ordered the spicy chicken, katsu, and beef — all of them were really good, but the chicken teriyaki stood out as my favorite. The flavor was incredible! The owners said they were from Japan, and you can truly taste the authenticity in every bite. It honestly felt like real Japanese home cooking. I’d come back to Seattle just for this food!“

“Food: big portions, quality taste! I was pretty satisfied with the meal. We got spicy chicken and the beef teriyaki. Beef was soft but I felt like there was a bigger portion of the chicken. Happy to get both again.

Service: expect to wait as there is usually a line for orders and the food is being made fresh. Highly highly recommend you call first then expect to wait ~15min give or take.

Atmosphere: community posters for events and old magazines to read while you wait. Lots of plants and kind of in an odd place next to a liquor store and gas station.

Overall, I’d come again for a filling casual meal where I’m not in a rush. Solid place on the radar 👍🏼“

“Stopped by here after accidentally missing my bus stop, and was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted immediately and the kind lady at the counter prepared my to-go meal so quickly. Solid teriyaki with good portions for a reasonable price. Highly rec !“

“Surprisingly good teriyaki! Clean, well-ordered, and they have a cool little watch & jewelry shop within.A small suggestion: putting the salad in a spinner would take excess water away and the dressing (very good btw) would taste better!“

“Kenji needs to do a teriyaki review of this place. It has become my favorite in the Shoreline/crown hill/ballard area, and I’ve been to damn near every single teriyaki joint in these neighborhoods.
. Perfect bite, each morsel felt al dente. Not soggy like a lot of other joints.
Chicken teriyaki is grilled and clean. Great marinade time. Chargrill marks. 5/5.
Salad is your classic iceberg with the sweet mayo dressing. Comes in the box rather than waste a whole plastic box just for the salad, so again 5/5.
Teriyaki sauce was perfect texture and viscosity. Could eat it with just the rice and be happy.
Gyoza fried perfectly - the vinegar soy sauce accompaniment was also the best I’ve gotten from any restaurant. Koreans know how to make a proper vinegar sauce. 5/5.
. $16 for a teriyaki gyoza combo is a great deal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SPOT“

“We were a party of 4 and went in around 6ish on a Saturday. We got a table immediately.
The courtesy of the staff does require a mention. Very friendly and checking with you on a timely basis.
These are the ones which we ordered -
Monkey brain - good
Gyoza - good
California roll - good
crispy firecracker roll - this was different, never seen one like this, definitely a must try
mango tango roll - was good too
katsu chicken bento - good
chicken karaage - nice and hot
If you ask if we would visit this place, the answer is a Yes. Ambience was good and didnt have difficulty finding a parking spot.“

“Good friendly service. Good flavorful food. Good portions.
Plus all other free amenities like this delicious free Miso soup, clean cold water, free hot tea. ( Self serve)
Reasonable prices. Clean atmosphere. Convenient location. Lots of parking“

“This is easily the best teriyaki in Edmonds. The proprietor cooks the food to order this isn't your typical precooked reheated fare it's delicious and fresh. If you live in the area your take out will be piping hot when you get home. There is a reason why this shop has been here for decades.“

“If you're looking for fantastic food that won't break the bank, Joy Teriyaki is it. I just had their General Tao's Chicken, and it's absolutely to die for – perfectly crispy, flavorful, and just incredible. The portions are huge, the prices are amazing, and honestly, it's just a win all around. Five stars, easy!“

“Great local restaurant“

“Tried their salmon and tuna poke at the phinnywood tasting today. Oh, Arigato Sushi should have totally won. It has to be rigged 😹 these guys served up super fresh and tender poke. I wish I took a pic. Service was great, the owners/people working there(?) were really nice!“

“Love the food, especially the combos! I love teriyaki as a whole, but this place really does it right.“

“I've driven past their sign for years and finally went in the other day. It's definitely located in a less than desirable location (as far as trying to pull in customers), but the service was great and the food was better. I got take out, but noticed the carpet was pretty dirty in the dining area. Besides that, the restaurant was pretty clean with good music and lots of menu options. I'd go back again for sure to try other menu items.“

“Super great deal on their bento boxes, and the food was delicious! The lady at the front was very polite and she even gave our group free complimentary white rice. The store also has complimentary miso soup and hot tea which is also great. Definitely recommend!“

“Standard bento style fare served with a smile in a small strip mall area. You can get free.miso soup at the counter, which is a nice touch when eating in. The food is good, plenty of seating, but parking can sometimes be a bit scarce during peak times.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.“

“Today was my first time trying this restaurant. I went there because they have many vegan options. The food was delicious! The service was excellent. I’m definitely going back.“

“Awesome fresh poke and udon!“

“Good food and really good test y tried general Taos en really like it“
