50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Edmonds

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

“I’ve dined in as well as ordered to go. Owners are very nice and staff are friendly. They have a small dine in area, although the food is best freshly prepared it is also delicious to go. Son loves their katsu and California roll. Wanted to dine in when I heard they now have jjamppong. Glad I did, noodles were cooked perfectly, slightly al dente. Broth had a roasted/charred undertone and was not very spicy. Squid was a tad over cooked, still good just chewy. Thin slices of beef also went well with the noodles and savory broth.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“As a restaurant owner I must admit great ambience, service and food aren’t always available at the same place. I was born in Kyoto and love Japanese food. It’s our go to and they’re also open for lunch!
Stay rad!

“Billy Beach used to be one of my favorite sushi spots before COVID, so I was curious about this place that replaced it. AA sushi kept most of the dining area the same. It seems like they changed the flooring because I don't remember it being so slippery, even all the way to the restrooms. Ordering is similar to dim sum where you fill out a form with what you want to order. The menu is kind of like conveyor belt sushi where you have to match the colors to the prices. That was annoying having to do because later on when I got my itemized receipt, I realized the prices don't even match. The king salmon nigiri is almost $1 more than what the menu marked. Who knows what else is wrong on the menu, so they need to update their menus.

I like this concept of serving smaller rolls, so I can try more different things. At other sushi spots, I usually get stuck having to decide which rolls to order, so I don't overeat, even though I want so many. I noticed some other rolls people ordered were very tiny all around, even though they're half sizes. The Godzilla roll I ordered was regular sized. Most/all of the sauce was on the plate instead of the roll, so I forgot to sauce my first bite.“

“Every year treat ourselves to a kaiseki or omakase for our anniversary, and out of all of the places that we’ve tried so far in Seattle, this one is easily one of the best! The presentation for each course is stunning, every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and the quality is top notch. I’d say it’s very worth the price. Hope they get the recognition they deserve and their business continues to thrive 😊💯“

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

“This is my second time coming here. I will definitely come back again. I got the shrimp fried rice and the salmon lover’s roll. I have to say this is one of the best fried rice I’ve in a long time. Staff is very attentive and the restaurant has a great atmosphere“

“Ichi Bento consistently has the best Teriyaki in Seattle. Their chicken teriyaki always get a nice char on the outside that keeps it juicy and complements the sweetness and umami of their teriyaki sauce. They’ve been a part of the community for decades, and I hope they stay for many to come!“

“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’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!!!“

“Service and food , perfect, and nice, she even brought us glasses of water . And I got my food to go but we decided to stay and eat it and she brought us two cups of water. It was amazing,
The food was perfect! the teriyaki sauce was absolutely perfect just what I wanted. You know how sometimes you'll eat something really good somewhere and you'll go other places trying to get the same thing and usually it's not right, this place was not that, it was perfect exactly how and what I wanted. I ve gone to a lot of different teriyaki places trying to find the teriyaki that's just right, how I remembered having it a long time ago I used to go to a place in Tacoma by the mall but hadn't found one here yet, but this place was just that and more. The teriyaki was perfect taste. And just a little crispy on the edge of the chicken. The restaurant was clean and nice. It was a good meal. And the lady was so kind and happy and tried to make sure everyone felt welcome and was happy .“

“Been going here since high school (2006) Owners are super friendly you can find them in the back cooking your food. I live further north now and anytime my family is in Lake City neighborhood we make an effort to stop and eat and say hi.

Food hasn't changed since 2006 and can always expect high quality.

Thank you so much for serving me all these years, sorry it's taken me forever to do a review.“

“Best General Tso's and teriyaki (chicken and beef) I have ever had. I can't compare it to other PNW joints yet, but compared to all the ones I tried in SoCal and NY/NJ, Ohana blows them all out of the water. Even the steamed rice was perfect. Huge portions, one is enough for two or three people, we ended up taking them home and eating like kings the next day. We just moved and are considering making Ohana a weekly staple, it's just that good!!“

“Harbour Pointe is fortunate to have such an outstanding local eatery. Their bento boxes are solid and full of delicious sides, but the kimbap is as good as any in the Seattle/Bellevue area - generously filled with fresh ingredients at a great price.“

“This is the best place in the Area, always a great service and always best food, every time I got food from here is a great experience, I don’t really write reviews but it’s been a long time being a costumer and these place deserves the best… I’ll keep being a loyal costumer 🙌.

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

“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!“

“I ordered the beef teriyaki with extra meat, came out to about $36 which, before I GOT the food, felt like a lot. But when you see what you get it feels good. The food is excellent! The box couldn't stay closed on its own, they had to tape it shut. It fed me for two days. AWESOME. Gonna go back and get more tonight!“

“We've been coming here for over a decade. When we first came the place was excellent. At some point there was a change in ownership and we felt the restaurant took a dip in quality so we stopped coming here. This was our first time back in about three years and it seems there was another change in ownership and the quality (as well as value) is back to what it was.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“I almost didn’t come in because the exterior of the restaurant is not very inviting. But, since the place next door was closed, I took a chance and opened the door. It was a big surprise to find a perfectly appointed Japanese restaurant. The food was excellent - I had Sushi. It was very fresh and delicious. \nI would recommend checking it out - it’s accross from Discount Tire and Fred Meyer, in a little strip mall.“

“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“

“We did chicken teriyaki, half mild and half spicy (it’s not on the menu). They were both really good but the spicy one was better so I’d recommend that one if you only want to try one. There’s teriyaki sauce at each table as well if you want more sauce, which I did for the mild teriyaki!“

“I have been coming to Ichiban Teriyaki for many years. Love the flavor of the meats they have. Not just a chicken breast on a grille. They show it some love :)

Parking: Plenty of parking available - Even if you drive a motorhome“

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

“If you’re in the Greater Seattle area and haven’t tried Ichi Roll Wok and Teriyaki yet, let me help you out: Squabble up…Gobble up! This spot is where grilled meat dreams come true.

Their chicken and beef combo? Straight fire🔥.....The chicken is tender, the beef is juicy, and both are grilled to perfection with a flavor that makes you question how other places even survive in this game. The portions are so generous that you’ll need a game plan to finish it all, but trust me—it’s worth it.

The teriyaki sauce? Sweet, savory, and absolutely unforgettable. Paired with fluffy rice and crisp, cool salad, it’s like a perfect harmony of flavors in every bite. You’ll find yourself licking your fork clean, already planning your next visit.

And here’s the truth: when you go to other spots, just know... they not like us, they not like us. Ichi Roll doesn’t just serve food—they serve greatness. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is spotless, and the vibe is on point.

So, if you’re craving the best grilled meats in town, this is your sign. Pull up, grab that chicken and beef combo, and let Ichi Roll show you why they’re untouchable.

Rating: 11/10. Gobble up that greatness.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Food is delicious and portions plentiful. The spicy chicken teriyaki and pork fried rice are the best in Seattle. The gyoza are also delicious. They no longer offer dine-in since the pandemic, so only to-go orders. They recently switched to higher quality take-out containers which I really appreciate. I’ve been coming here for quite a while and have never been disappointed or hungry afterwards.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Looking for a easy and delicious food! I need to order in Uber eats and get the food. When I got it I tried the Super bento (sweet and sour chicken, chicken yakisoba with 4 gyoza, 2 spring rolls, rice and salad). They have free water and tea too! I never always try the sweet and sour and I love it! Just remember you can ask for Chopstick if you want because if you leave you don’t have it haha. Worth it!“

“We love this place. The owners are super personable and so kind to my daughter. We love coming here. My personal favorite is the K-Bowl because its healthy and has a ton of food in it! Their chicken teriyaki is also delicious!

Kid-friendliness: The owner is always so kind to my daughter and knows us both by name!“

“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!“

“This is my favorite teriyaki joint whenever I have to come to Everett for work. It opens early so I can eat when I need to since my day usually starts at 5 am when I am out here.

The food is great and the service is top notch.“

“I enjoyed it so much, I took home 3 orders for the family.“

“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!“

“Dined in with friends while visiting the area. Cozy environment, spicy yaki udon was flavorful and enjoyable to eat, as it was similar to my experiences in Japan. The lady in charge, when I visited, was very patient and kind when I took some time to decide my meal and went out of her way to take care of my friends and I. Overall, I would definitely come back and try the sushi the next time I visited.“

“Hot, juicy, properly charred chicken. Took them a few to get it out to me so that proves not pre-cooked like some places. Came on a plate, not Styrofoam or to go clamshell with real metal fork!!! The Trader Joe's Sriracha was the bomb ! I'll be back !“

“Manna Teriyaki, I believe, is a Korean-American run establishment that serves great honest food and the owners/personal are extremely personable. I went with the Japanese-PNW style menu and I had the C3 combo of Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, and Gyoza. The salad was just iceberg lettuce (this is good as I do not care for carrots) with a slightly sweet dressing on the side, the teriyaki was seasoned perfectly, the katsu was nice and crunchy, the gyoza (whilst obviously not cooked at that particular moment) were tasty and crispy. The three sauces were exactly as they should be! Delicious! Manna Teriyaki is worth a trip to the nebulous Lake City. (Still on the westside of Lake Washington.) Manna Teriyaki offers Korean specialities as well, which I must make my return to sample. :)“

“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.“

“Chef is nice and friendly. Sushi-wise I was hoping for something more, it started really well and 4 nigiri are high lights and impressed me, the yozi scallop one brings you right into summer, and the one wrapped in clear Hokkaido seaweed feels like a fresh bite of ocean, apple wood smoked salmon has the perfect balance of smokiness. Oysters nigiri is really fresh and well done.
However, it didn’t go uphill as omakase usually do where next nigiri tastes even better, towards the second half of course some nigiri feels unbalanced, or even too salty because of overpowering source, hand roll is one of them.. desert didn’t wow me unfortunately.

Overall good experience but I was really hoping it could be beyond just good.“

“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.“
