50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fife

“Absolutely phenomenal sushi experience!
Everything from the moment we walked in was perfect. The staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive without ever feeling intrusive. The fish was unbelievably fresh—melt-in-your-mouth good—and every roll was beautifully prepared with great balance and flavor.

The presentation was stunning and even the small details—like the quality of the soy sauce and the perfectly seasoned rice—showed how much care goes into their food. We tried several specialty rolls, and every single one was a hit. The roll were a little on the smaller side but made up for it with the taste. Definitely quality over quantity.

The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and relaxing, making it a great place for both a casual night out and a more special occasion. This is easily some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time.

Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Stopped by Ichiban Teriyaki & Wok during a sales day in Fife with a coworker, and I'm glad we did! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Their bento boxes are a fantastic value, and the egg drop soup that comes with them was the perfect appetizer. This is definitely comfort food done right. I've already saved this spot as a favorite so I can come back whenever I'm working in the area. Thanks for the great food and hospitality!“

“We submitted a very large group order on door dash for this restaurant, and they were very efficient and able to execute 30+ orders within an hour for pickup. The food is delicious and the portions are absolutely massive. Thank you so much happy teriyaki for feeding our group for lunch, what a great restaurant and group of people!!“

“Always tasty and large portions! Excellent restaurant.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“This is a truly amazing ramen restaurant. The broth is rich and flavorful without being too salty. They also have a great variety of other dishes to choose from. I highly recommend the curry rice and the fried chicken rice they’re both delicious. The service was excellent, and parking was easy and convenient. Definitely worth a visit!“

“We tried the spicy pork salad, kimchi dumplings, and kingbap roll. All were delicious, especially the spicy pork salad. The spice level on the pork was perfect, good heat, but not make you cry hot, balanced well with some sweet. We will definitely go back.“

“Recently moved back home after 10 years living on the east coast. This was, hands down, the BEST sushi I have had since leaving Washington. The food is so fresh! I’m normally a tuna person but the Salmon Ladder was UNBELIEVABLY TASTY. Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top! Miso soup was perfect, and the spicy rainbow was so yummy! Even ordering this for delivery was perfect.“

“really liked it here i felt like the food was pretty good i liked how warm the lights are where i sat and it created this nice moody lighting but hannah was really nice and fun to talk with. her personality really brightened the whole experience. i liked the roll that was wrapped in cucumber with raw salmon and crab meat. that one was one of my favorites although i don’t usually like rolls but this place does it amazingly“

“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.“

“Fresh, beautiful presentation, friendly, clean. Our first visit was amazing. We will definitely return!“

“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“

“Wow is truly all I can say. My husband and I met in Pai, Thailand (Northern Thailand) and fell in love in the town of love. We love Thai food but wrote off Thai food in Washington state because it was Americanized. When we opened the menus, our mouths dropped—Larb!!!! Papaya Salad!!? Khao Soi!! And several other Northern Thai dishes.

We ordered the garlic pork ribs, Panang Curry, and Pad See Ew, and holy cow, it was the best Thai food we have had in the US, period. It was even some of the best Northern Thai food we’ve ever had in Thailand. My husband, who often gets overly excited when we find a new spot, was raving about it. He was over the moon. My little sister, who is a picky eater, was raving about her Pad See Ew. The noodles were made fresh and melted in the mouth.

My husband heard Thai people speaking in the kitchen and smiled. The prices were reasonable and I just can’t say enough about the incredible food and incredible service. I also ordered the crying tiger salad (Suea Rong Hai) and it was equally as wonderful. The owner is such a sweet lady and was incredibly welcoming. We will absolutely be back.“

“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.“

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

“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 !!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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👍👍“

“If I could put one more star on service I would put two because that was the fastest and most enjoyable meal you could have, manager was very nice, gave us on the house appitizer, came to our table and talked to us even. Very enjoyable would go back if I could.“

“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.“

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

“Teriyaki chicken has great char. Superior strip mall style ‘yaki with generous portions.

Tempura shrimp was large, light and crispy. Don’t let the rundown mall scare you off! This is good food, freshly prepared by a friendly owner!“

“Delicious Ramen and dim sum“

“A total gem hiding in plain sight. Appa Sushi is easy to miss — it's tucked into a strip off a busy road (just off 516) — but don't let the unassuming location fool you. The service is spectacular. We rolled in mid-ride on the Green River Trail, and when we mentioned we wanted to eat in the nearby Riverview park, the staff were absolutely delighted to help and packed our lunch to go without missing a beat.

One warning: the portions are ENORMOUS. Thinking we'd be starving after biking, we each ordered our own bento box — big mistake, we could easily have split a single one. They pile on the rice, and I swear there was half a chicken in the chicken teriyaki. Super-nice staff, quick and easy service, and food that way over-delivers for the price. I can't wait to go back.“

“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!“

“Ordered the Chicken Teriyaki comes with rice & lettuce salad. The Beef Yakisoba was delicious comes with (1) scoop of rice. Overall the cost is affordable compared to other places. The service was friendly & fast too. I will definitely go back.“

“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 tried Musashi for the first time and it was alright! I got a chirashi bowl which ran to $20 after taxes. It was a pretty small bowl but it was decent. It wasn’t the best chirashi bowl I’ve ever had nor would I come back here for it. It was nice to try a new restaurant but it wasn’t anything too crazy or extraordinary. There are about only 4 tables inside so it’s definitely not like a “dine-in” restaurant. The majority of their orders are to-go’s. It was a bit difficult to locate the restaurant as it’s clumped with the apartments.“

“Super cute little spot, very clean and the women taking orders was very nice. The food was hot and fresh, husband liked the chicken teriyaki. The shrimp tempura was crisp and crunchy on the outside and so tender on the inside. But let me tell you about the wonton soup!!! 10/10, five stars, highly recommended. The broth is glistening with flavor, the wontons are perfectly soft and the veggies are bright and not overcooked. So happy I stopped here, this wonton soup healed me. I wish I would have gotten more.“

“Great service the food was prepped and cooked quickly and it was delivered within 20 mins. Very nice portions of food. I got the chicken chow mein, 8 piece gyoza and side salad everything was so good 😊. First time ordering from them they will definitely continue getting my business for for future orders. A+ service and food 💕Thank you Teriyaki Wok“

“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.“

“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.“

“YESS!!! amazing place when at the mall! I’ll always eat here!!“

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome experience. BEST EVER FRIED RICE LARGE PORTION! Best EVER Kung Pao due to the vegetables which MANY AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES. The Chicken Teriyaki was a little dried out on the edges, but because it was amazing otherwise it still deserved 5 stars. It was clean and service was exceedingly friendly with a family vibe. I can't wait to try all the other things on the menu!!!!!“

“Despite the exterior looking a little worse for wear, it's very cozy and friendly inside.
We ordered the chicken yakisoba and it was some of the best I've had in a loooong time--plus there was enough to last for two meals. And even though we ordered take-out, they still served us a complementary egg drop soup. Very pleased to have discovered this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Super cute place! Was a little nervous coming in due to the outside area but my friends were right there was very good food here for a very reasonable price! We were the only ones in there (we went around 3pm). The lady serving us was very sweet. Will come again!“

“This place is so good!!!! I see a lot of rude creepy guys who tell the cashier to “smile” or try to flirt with her and get mad when she doesn’t flirt back. Don’t trust the low reviews I see those guys that come back and try to make a scene over their food being sub par just to make conversation. This place has better teriyaki than yummy teriyaki!“

“I was passing through town and needed to get a bite to eat. This place had good reviews so I thought I would try it. I have to admit when I pulled in the parking lot I was skeptical. I decided to try it anyway. When I walked in, I was pleased to see(and smell) the place was incredibly clean. I was seated by friendly staff right away. I got a bento box and a hand roll. Both were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this hidden gem.“

“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.“

“Teriyaki bowl combo is a little pricey at $15. But it us good, although a little skimpy, flavors are good. This place is take out only, there's no seating inside. Unfortunately there's definitely a language barrier with the lady taking your order as she doesn't understand when you ask or inquire about anything on their menu.“
