50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fife

“The sushi was pretty good, presentation was very good, service was also very good. The miso soup was on point and the salad dressing was outstanding. The tea was also very good.
The owner was super friendly and nice almost felt like we were in Japan.“

“Picked up the bulk office takeout order and overall this was a 4. Outdated building that has an odd smell when you come in and could use some love to the interior, but very fast and friendly service. Good sized portions but as another reviewer mentioned, sauce was a bit on the skimpy side compared to in the past - seems like an odd thing to cut back on. Delicious flavor on the chicken teriyaki and gyoza - would recommend!“

“The minute you walk in, the atmosphere is so alive with the music, TV and friendly welcome form the staff. The place is visually and smells clean. They are so quick in getting my order out. Only 15 minutes from the time I ordered. Food tastes great with hefty portions. Great place to enjoy Teriyaki ,Chinese and Korean cuisine.“

“Always tasty and large portions! Excellent restaurant.“

“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!!!!“

“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 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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

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

“The food is so amazing, the sweet and salty go together perfectly, and the savory elements bring so much to it. The unagi sauce on the eel is top notch. And the tempura is so fluffy while also having a great crispness. All around the atmosphere, the food ,and the service, is so amazing“

“Located in a food hall with street parking. No AC so in the summer it can get a little warm inside. The food was fantastic with great portions. One of the best pad Thai I had since moving to Washington. Not too sweet, tangy, spicy. Husband had the fried garlic chicken I believe and he said that was fantastic as well. Owner (I think) was super sweet and asked us how we liked her food afterwards. Highly recommend! If we didn’t live so far we would be here more often.“

“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.“

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

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

“Stopped by for a weekend dinner with family. Pleasantly surprised by the variety of menus and friendly staff. All the food was generous portions and also tasty. All meat dishes were cooked right without overcooking and dryness. The sauteed Chinese menu had the unique wok cooked open flame taste. Highly recommend for a quick dine out option.“

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

“I've ordered once in the past when this place first opened and never went back because the quality of the food. I decided to give this place another try and I'm glad that I did. I assume it's new owners now or they've changed the way they make their food. This place is fire! I ordered take out a few times in the past couple weeks. Portions are huge and the quality of the food is excellent. Customer service is top notch too. This is my go to spot for teriyaki.“

“This place is so bomb! I paid $20 for combo of chicken teriyaki and sesame chicken with 2 scoops of rice and a salad, it was so much food and so delicious. I have leftovers for work tomorrow this place never disappoints I wish I would have took a pic before I dug in“

“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“

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

“Ordered takeout from here last week, and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Salmon nigiri is always my favorite, and theirs is fresh and delicious, great fish to rice ratio, large pieces of salmon, and very reasonably priced! Everything I ordered was delicious. It was packaged well. And they had my order ready quickly. Will definitely be back!“

“The young man working there was very friendly and helpful. The food came out fast and was delicious. I got the spicy pork and it's perfect. Hot enough to make you sweat, but not regret. The portion could serve two people, so if your partner likes the same food it becomes very cheap. I plan to go again.“

“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“

“Absolutely amazing, hands down the best sushi we have had. This is a one man operation and honestly, I don’t know how he does it. All of the fish is flown in from all over the world and is the absolute best top notch quality. Follow his IG to see when reservations drop. You’ll have to book a couple weeks out but it’s worth the wait! You’ll preorder your food while making a reservation as well.

Other notes: pretty easy to find street parking in this area of Kent, we’ve never had an issue. Enter right at your reservation time, no earlier. It’s an intimate space best for couples and small groups.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I've placed an order for pickup 3 times in the last 2 weeks, each time for Broccoli Beef & an order of Gyoza. I'm giving the food 4 stars instead of 5 simply because each time the broccoli is raw. I don't mind a little crisp to the veggies, but the broccoli is simply raw. Other than that, the food is amazing. Kinda spendy but generous portions help make it worth it. 2 min from home, tastes great, always hot, but gotta knock the star for the raw broccoli each time. If they fix that minor issue and cook it just a couple min longer, I'll give it 5 stars when that happens.“

“First time trying this place and it was pretty good! Service was quick and food was tasty. It’s a to go spot only but they are quick to serve. We got the Happy Combo 2 and it was delicious, love the fact that it had so many meat choices serve on top of noodles and a big size of white rice. It was perfect serving amount for me and my family. Price was normal as most teriyaki places I been too. I would definitely return again and try the other food they have to offer.“

“Nice atmosphere, appealing food presentation, friendly staff. Minus one star because the portions are WAY bigger than they need to be. My husband ordered a bento box and was able to finish less than half of it. I got a single roll and had to force down the last two pieces. Smaller portions with decreased price options would’ve made the overall experience more enjoyable, as we could have left satisfied rather than stuffed.

If you’re looking for a large, filling meal, then by all means 5 stars! It just didn’t match our personal expectations/needs on that front. :)“

“Incredible. Quite possibly the best plate of food I have ever had. My son and I each ordered the lobster, shrimp and filet. The chef made it fun but the taste made it unforgettable. The price was right and I can't wait to go back. Fantastic restaurant.“

“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“

“I love this teriyaki place. It is by far the best around and I’ve been to plenty of teriyaki restaurants. The food is always good and consistent. Same goes for the service. It’s very quick and the owner is great. My favorite thing is the teriyaki sauce which is made in house according to the owner. Will definitely be coming back for more delicious teriyaki.“

“Anyone rating this place less than 5 stars has some serious mental condition. I’ve eaten here hundreds of times. I used to work next door and I’d eat here almost every day. THE BEST teriyaki you will ever find. I moved out of state and this place is one of the things I miss most about Washington.“

“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 ☺️“

“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 !!!!“

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

“Loved the chicken katsu that I just demolished! The katsu had good flavor, katsu sauce is solid with a little sweetness and tang. Rice was a little dry, but we in Auburn, so i guess you got to appeal to the demographics. You don't come here for the salad although the dressing was good. The restaurant feels homey with a nice korean couple running the show. Overall, the food, homey feeling and sweet auntie and uncle makes this place a winner. 잘 먹겠습니다.“

“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 “

“DO NOT RECOMMEND It's what I pushed and then all the sudden it said I recommend it no I don't I went in today to go get my Beef Teriyaki with fried rice I paid extra for the rice. I ended up not getting a sauce for my fried rice so I asked for one. I showed the girl that I didn't get one and she was rude to me in front of all the customers saying that it doesn't come with 1. Trying to charge me $1 so I'm confused that not only did I just pay 12.49 plus 1.99 for some rice and you want to charge me for a sauce. She slammed down 2 sauces and said "next time I'm charging you". I took 1 to my table and said you know what I'll put it back because I ordered a side of fried rice and will give my mom mine. Shes slamming the ice around etc... Also I had bean sprouts in my food a few weeks ago when I asked for none in 3 of my meals. I didn't complain. I did have 2 complaints from the past about sweet and sour chicken being hard it was all like bone cartridges. If you complain one time the rest of the time on they treat you like crap. I'm done with going here I've had enough of thier bs.“

“I really appreciate the ladies up front. When it’s not busy they have time to visit with you and the cooks you never see but the food that comes out of the kitchen so some of the best ever definitely the best locally I’m a picky person when I order and they are so nice to make me happy. And I always come back“

“Me and my boyfriend since we started dating back in 23 have always come here it’s our goto place! the people even remember our order now because we come here so often. We love the chicken teriyaki we come here at least once a week but this is our favorite place no where else compares and the food is the same delicious meal every time no inconsistency!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“
