50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fife

“This place is wonderful. I called ahead and let them know I would be placing a large order for my work. They were super accommodating, and friendly. They took my order promptly when I arrived, were polite, and helpful. The food is great, and they helped me carry all 13 meals to my car. They really are a great spot to go to eat, dine in or carry out. I will continue doing business here, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!“

“Excellent experience! Ordered by phone and picked up to go. I was greeted by Steve(owner?)who was very friendly and personable. He made me feel welcome. The place was immaculate! Very clean & neat. It's cozy(read small), so I imagine it can get full at times. Let's get to the nitty gritty:The food was delicious! Fresh and stayed hot back to the motel. Great thermal packaging! There was enough left over that my Wife and I had it for lunch the next day. The vegetables were NOT overcooked, and had just a little snap to them. We substituted fried rice for white and it had great flavor. My Wife had WonTon soup and it came with pieces of egg that looked like dumplings. I was envious. The portions are generous, the prices are not. Their doors open at 10 AM. If you know what's good for you, you'll be there.“

“Very delicious food. The amount of food you get for the price is enormous! You order an egg drop soup expecting a small bowl and it's a giant decorated bowl as big as a family salad bowl! And the family combination is on a tray as big as half the table! Was stuffed and had lots to take home, absolutely recommended“

“Always tasty and large portions! Excellent restaurant.“

“We went to visit Sumo Japanese restaurant for the first time after church service. The food and the service were great. I highly recommend this restaurant and the robots service was a great touch.“

“we ordered several items from ramen to dumplings to fried rice to chicken curry katsu and everything was absolutely amazing! the best ramen I have ever had! will be coming back as a frequent diner for sure! highly recommend!!! Lastly the staff was so on point from taking our order to checking on us through out the meal! kudos to your entire staff!!!!“

“Friendly service, food is great, plenty of selections; Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods in one place. I had the spider roll and the Mongolian Beef. I didn’t order the combos on purpose but who knew the Japanese food and Chinese food complimented each other very well. Talking about a great service, my wife order the sesame balls for a dessert. 2 of 5 were a bit under cooked somehow. We broke them a part but didn’t eat them. One other staffs walked by and asked if we didn’t like. My wife told her those 2 seemed like they are not full cooked so we didn’t want to eat them but we are okayed. She then insisted that she asked the chef to make a fresh batch of 5 for us. This time they were perfectly cooked. I was impressed with her and felt very appreciative. I recommend this place if you like delicious food and something quick.“

“Now that there is a great sushi chef there I hope that we will be seeing sushi added to the menu“

“My Husband and i eat here nearly once every week. The owner Yoko is inviting and friendly. The food is very delicious! Itadakimasu!~ Many thanks for the wonderful meals, Always worth it! My favorites: + Pan Fried gyoza; delicious,crispy, perfect. + My husband orders the Miso soup, It's the most flavorful miso we have tried. + My husband loves the curry ramen, I always enjoy sipping some of the broth too! very flavorful and warming. (I think they used to be called I <3 Curry! So this fusion is wonderful!) + Okonomiyaki; beautiful and delicious. +Tonkatsu Curry is very delicious! i order this the most +Curry pork fried rice special over the summer is very delicious! I always ask if they'll still make it for me.(and am very grateful when they do!)“

“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.“

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.“

“Amazingly generous place. Great service regardless of dine in or take out. They took care of our order to go and blessed us with miso soup that we didn't order. Very giving restaurant. Recommend them highly. I've never had a bad meal from them. Golden Gate is one of my favorites.“

“Unassuming place with really fresh sushi. Don’t expect a fancy ambiance, but if you just want good quality fresh sushi this is the place to go. On par with some of the best places in Seattle in terms of quality of ingredients.

This is the place to go if you prefer nigiri and sashimi when you order.
The rolls are good too but nothing extraordinary.“

“Best take out Teriyaki on the hill. The food is Amazing & Affordable and the staff is Outstanding and so Polite. We love this place“

“Lovely people that make great food!! Parents come here weekly so we thought we would stop in. Very happy we did! I had the sesame chicken combo and it was delicious!! My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his Mongolian. The crab ragoons were also so perfectly crisp! Will definitely be back more.“

“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.“

“First time coming here last Friday. Came here with my cousin, we ordered the karaage chicken, tempura, sashimi rolls & spicy tuna roll. iIt was pretty good, I can tell everything was freshly made. I'd definitely come back“

“I had the pleasure of sampling every dish on the menu, and each one was exceptionally delicious. The diverse flavors and impeccable preparation made for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a culinary adventure.“

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

“Hands down the best sushi restaurant in the PNW. Small place, I believe the chef only serves one table at a time, so booking is tight. We waited about a week before we got a slot. When you do place your reservation, you will also need to order your dishes in advance. It's a very personal experience, which is great because it lets us appreciate the quality of sushi. We ordered the chirashi bowl and omakase, and it's the best that we've ever had.“

“Soon as I walk in this place,me and the owner giggles a bit, cuz she knows exactly what I'm gonna order and I don't have to say a word lol.i love it here.family business.i can never go anywhere else but here cuz they consider me as family now lol.theyre the best in Tacoma!🌻❣️🙏🏾“

“This place never disappoints. The service is great and the food is amazing 💖“

“Super calm and quiet little hole in the wall teriyaki joint. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and the little tucked away places like these are always the best! And I was not disappointed! The fried rice was some of the best I've ever had, Tempura shrimp and gyoza seemed very fresh and super flavorful and crispy. I got the Mongolian Beef as my main dish and while it seemed like it was missing something, maybe it wasn't as saucy as I'm used to at other places, but who knows this could be the traditional way to make it so I won't jump to conclusions. It was still very delicious though!

The only little downside is that I wish the meal portion sizes were a little larger. But other than that, service was very kind, it seems like this lovely older man and woman running the shop all by themselves. I had walked in to tonight get a to-go order tonight and was probably waiting a little less than or around 10 minutes, this was a Saturday night too. The place wasn't very busy, but I think it definitely deserves more attention. I will be coming here again!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this teriyaki shop, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere.First and foremost, the food was absolutely delicious. I got spicy chicken teriyaki and general tso's chicken. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. Whether you're a fan of chicken, beef, or tofu, they have something for everyone. The teriyaki sauce was perfectly balanced, not too sweet or too salty, just right.What really blew me away was the speed of their service. Despite the bustling lunch rush, my order was ready in record time. It's evident that they prioritize efficiency without compromising on quality. Whether you're dining in or taking out, you won't have to wait long to satisfy your cravings.In addition to their tasty food and quick service, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great option for a satisfying meal that won't break the bank.Overall, I highly recommend this teriyaki shop to anyone craving delicious Japanese cuisine served with lightning-fast service. I'll definitely be returning for more soon!“

“I have been dining here for over a decade, and every time, the food is just as amazing as the first time I had it. Teriyaki portions are bigger than you think, and if you dine in, they'll start you off with some egg drop soup! Friendly service, and a tv with movies to distract you“

“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.“

“Top notch pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and yakisoba. Excellent flavoring, crisp veggies, and generous portions. I am from San Diego or I'd be back to try more! Situated in a food court but every bit as good as a sit-down place. Venue has other vendors too, so it would be easy to mix and match with other different tastes.“

“very comfy !! if i was local i would get takeout here regularly! the guy who served me and my family was super sweet and interactive. you could tell it was a family-owned business which warms my heart. get the katsu if you're going !! <3“

“I can't say enough good things about Modoo Teriyaki in Sumner! This place has quickly become my favorite spot for chicken teriyaki. The flavors are absolutely amazing, and the chicken is always cooked to perfection—juicy and tender every time.

The teriyaki sauce is the best I've ever had, with just the right balance of sweetness and savory goodness. The portion sizes are generous, making it a fantastic value for such high-quality food. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

If you're in the area and craving some delicious teriyaki, Modoo is the place to go! Five stars without a doubt!“

“Good foods, good price and they are very kind for customers. Recommend 10 of 10“

“This Apple teriyaki has been my go-to ever since I moved to the area many years ago. I usually get teriyaki and/or some Chinese food from here. Always good with leftovers for later. I’m sure I’ve ordered from here over 100 times over the years.

Parking: Depending on time and day, it can get a bit cramped, but there had always been a spot available for me to park.“

“Excellent food. The chicken was perfect- melt in your mouth. Even the rice is exactly right. The sauce was not over whelming but getting all the way thru it. Not too salty but you know it's there. I will absolutely be back even tho I live 30 miles away. That good.“

“The short ribs were really good. Super tender and full of flavor. I thought they’d be expensive, but the prices felt fair, especially considering how everything’s gone up lately.

I also tried one of the wok dishes, and it was tasty. If you like chicken, they’ve got a few solid options worth checking out. Overall, a nice spot. I’d come back again.“

“Depending on the chef you get makes or brakes the evening. The service staff is OK, but this place is all about the show from the chef. In the last few visits, we have had great interactions, and it makes for a really great experience. I recommend for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries.“

“My absolute favorite sushi place in Kent, and probably in the surrounding areas too. The fish is always fresh, the portions are always so generous and they always fulfill my requests whenever I want to tweak the order. The pricing is really good too in my opinion. The restaurant itself looks clean with a very cozy atmosphere. I've dined in, done take out, and ordered delivery plenty of times and they never disappoint. Also they might have the best spicy mayo recipe I've ever tried.“

“I've been to many sushi places in the Tacoma/Seattle area and Fujiya certainly stands out as one the best. I can really only speak to the nigiri, but it is always fresh, melt in your mouth tender and generous slices of fish. So good! I want to go back just talking about it!“

“Everything was excellent from our host, food, and especially our Server Courtney was amazing.“

“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!!“

“Seriously the only place I love getting the beef short ribs, they cut it up so nice and thin and then ask for it well done to get the char on the bones seriously I don’t get it from any other teriyaki spot, all their food here is amazing, I drive all the way from puyallup just to come get their food“

“Excellent food here.Kung pao chicken was fried perfectly and a great combination of sweet and spicy. Just like my Chinese mother in law makes.Chicken teriyaki has a grilled taste and was also excellent.Portions are large.Extra teriyaki sauce at the table, so you can add extra sauce and flavor.The egg roll was massive and delicious.The kids meal is also an excellent value and delicious.“

“Amazing experience!!! You will never imagine what it look inside from the outside! We’re so happy to make a stop today :) the foods are fresh & taste great & very good price for the food’s quality we got🤩 the atmosphere was lovely, the decor was very well done, warm welcome and smile from server light up the room :) i will definitely visit again , the outside said, new management&new menu, would say that this new is great and professional :)“

“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 !!!!“

“We just ate here for my last night in town because, as a PNW native, every trip home I need to get my teriyaki fix. We went here on my brother’s recommendation and boy, it did NOT disappoint!

My brother and I got the spicy chicken and beef combo. Delightful and pleasantly spicy. If you don’t like spice I wouldn’t get the spicy version but if you do enjoy a tasty amount of heat, this is spot on. Not too hot, certainly flavorful.

The rest of the family got chicken teriyaki, veggie yakisoba, and the chicken and katsu combo. We all shared a plate of gyoza. I tried most everything and all of it was delightful.

My favorite part about the place though was the people working. They were both so kind and remembered my brother even though he hadn’t been able to come by in some time. They bonded with my 4 year old nephew quickly and were wonderfully genuine in their actions. They were very quick to help with anything we needed (nothing crazy, we spilled some water and they came out with a pen so we could label our boxes without us asking for one. Just very helpful in general).

Consider me a long time fan. I will come back any time I am in the area! Thank you so much for wonderful service and phenomenal food!

Parking: Ginger Teriyaki is in a strip mall so parking is right in front of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“

“Good portions of delicious food. We tried the chicken wings, teriyaki chicken, honey garlic chicken and shrimp fried rice. It would up being a little on the expensive side but we have leftovers for at least another meal for both of us and probably still leftovers. Maybe they could offer smaller portions for a lower cost? Staff was very friendly. This is our new favorite teriyaki place. We look forward to trying the other dishes.“

“I Have taken taken meals out twice thus far and the meals were excellent! The service was polite and well received. I highly recommend Joy Teriyaki.“

“Got the combo with Chicken Teriyaki and Sesame Chicken for takeout, and was very pleased. Food was excellent, and even though they forgot to put my sauce on the side, they offered to remake it for me! I didn't have them remake it because that would have been just a waste of perfectly good food, but the fact that offered was nice.

Only small nitpick is that for a double plate like that, the amount of rice you get is pretty small. I assume it's the same amount of rice that you get for a single plate, so one more scoop would have felt more balanced.

Overall though, I think it's a pretty small complaint. Very good food, not too expensive. Definitely recommend!“

“Best teriyaki in Milton. They have updated their technologies so it’s easier to pay with card now. They also have a kiosk so you can order if you are more introverted. Food wise, the yakisoba and chicken teriyaki are great and I highly recommend them. Give them a try if you’re in “

“The food was amazing, I haven’t had good teriyaki since I’ve moved to the East coast 5 years ago. Been craving it since then, came to visit and have only been here for 4 days and am now coming back for a 2nd time. 10000000000/10 😍😍 ordered special #1“

“Spicy chicken teriyaki was very good although it does have onions and broccoli added with the chicken. I recommend staying away from their plain teriyaki sauce as it is more of a gelatin consistency. Meat proportions are medium/small compared to other yaki restaurants. Service was fast and “

“This is the best teriyaki spot in Federal way.NEVER A LONG WAIT. I love their chicken katsu. Never overcooked and fried to that perfect crunchy texture mmmmmmm! The sauce is to die for, well not literally! The rice is always cooked to perfection. Never that mushy pudding kind 🤢! Try YUMMY’s because they are YUMMI!!!“
