19 Best Japanese Restaurants in Federal Way

“We have been there a couple of times. Everything has been excellent. Prices are comparable to other sushi restaurants in the area. Our only complaint is the tea is a bit week. Still deserves 5 stars.“

“Shari is the best !!!! I love her service she made me feel welcomed and had a big smile . I was comfortable and. Tipped her very well. If anyone need a raise is for her compassion at work !!! Let’s Go SHARI !!!!“

“Interior of Aji Koharu is calming and shelters customers from the rush of traffic on Hwy 99. The food was excellent: well prepared, presentation of various items enhanced the meal, the flavor and texture of the variety of sashimi was each distinct and appreciated. The portions are generous and thank goodness fulfilling of the appetite of our adolescent boys. The adults were also pleased by the generous portions which some of them shared with the young men. Happy diners all around. Some suggestions: music can be less intrusive and unavailable menu items need to be communicated to customers before they look at the menu to make their selection. This can spare disappointment of customer and avoid lost/waste of time for wait staff and customer. We'll share our delight with Aji Koharu with our friend groups and we have made plans to return for more if the excellent dishes at Aji Koharu.“

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!“

“my son told me to try the tonkatsu ... and he was absolutely tastier and juicier right👍👍“

“I have been a customer for over 35 years. Never ever have I experienced a better Sushi restaurant. I adore the owners. Fresh amazing food.“

“Delicious Ramen and dim sum“

“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!“

“Everything I had was delicious, generous portions, friendly staff I will definitely be back again“

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.“

“Service was great. The young lady taking orders was very pleasant and helpful. And just to save you some time YES! I recommend this place and I will go back.

The bad: So the spring rolls were an absolute disappointment.

(Please not the photo is was taken after the rolls sat out overnight so the lettuce is brown and wilted. That part is no fault of the restaurant. The roll was fresh upon pickup)

Per the photo I opened up the wrap and it appears that a bag of lettuce was used to create the wrap. So ultimately The wrap consist of a handful of bag lettuce (the kind with the purple cabbage and thinly sliced carrots), some rice noodles and about two shrimp.

There was absolutely no flavor. I’m guessing because the ingredients were not freshly cut as far as the vegetation. I’m used to having fresh cut carrots, cucumber and lettuce in a FRESH spring rolls. The roll was bland and unfortunately the sauce it came with was also underwhelming

On the other hand the GOOD:

Beef chicken combo was DELISH!!! portions were generous, flavor was on point! I will certainly go back for their entrees.“

“I would never go to any other teriyaki spot. They are so kind here EVERY TIME! The food is great portions and very good quality! I have never had a bad experience here and recommend if you are looking for a good teriyaki spot this is the one! 🥰 Jennifer takes the orders and she is always so sweet and accommodating never rude and never makes you feel rushed off the phone. Thank you so much for always providing a wonderful experience!“

“My wife pretty much dislikes teriyaki chicken. However, in a moment of weakness, she said yes to it this time. Since we moved recently, I looked around for a well rated Teriyaki restaurant near us, and Teriyaki house came up. Well, she loved it (and so did I!) but did not care for the sauce. So next time I went in, I asked for the chicken without the sauce, just on the side. Since then, this has been the only place we go for take out. The quality of the food is the best out of all the other Teriyaki places we tried and the couple who own the place are wonderful. I would love to spend a few days in the kitchen watching how this wonderful chef makes these dishes. I've tried several of the other offerings and they are just as excellent as the teriyaki. I look forward to trying more of their fabulous offerings. Highly recommended.“

“New Head Chef Logi!! Conveyer belt is open again and food was amazing!! Will definitely be back again with family and friends!“

“chat ts is awesome my dude. The girl at the front very friendly and the food is obviously good. Very friendly towards customers. I always get my UTENSILS because I ASK for them. ☺️
I don’t mind paying 50 cents for the sauces, it’s not a lot of money unless you’re broke. I enjoy the atmosphere whenever i’m in there, very calm and enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place ☺️“

“Last year they were decent. But now they are absolutely amazing I have gone two times in the last month or two and the food was a 10 out of 10 every time. Very reasonably priced. And they pack your take out tray I almost wasn't able to finish both times.“

“We've been going there for at least 25 years --from when we moved to Fed Way --and the food is consistently delicious. The lady is not comfortable in English, so can come off as rude!“

“I have been a consistent customer to this location. They have absolutely the best teriyaki... hands down. I travel all over the state for work and have tried countless teriyaki places and I always use Yummy Teriyaki as the bar to match. Please go here and have their great food. They make the sauce in house as well as the yummy salad dressing. They are great and kind people and know me by name. Enjoy the gem of a restaurant. Let them know I sent you! 😁“

“Some of the better teriyaki, and has been for years But it seems they are down sizing their portions to keep prices lower. which means more needs to be ordered to have the same amount which just ends up actually costing more in the long run.“
