50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fircrest

“Such good food and tasty. Good portion sizes as well. They are always friendly and make sure you have everything.

Parking: Depends on the time of day you go. There are other businesses in the complex, and if busy, parking is harder to find. It's free parking, though, and there are parking spots right in front of the restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's 1 story and no stairs, so it is easy to get in and out.“

“Really enjoyed our lunch here. Sushi was very fresh and tasty. The service was excellent and we look forward to returning.

Kid-friendliness: The employees were very kind and welcoming to our 2 year old while we enjoyed a meal.“

“The menu here is large and varied! So many options, including baked rolls. The shrimp tempura in the Lucky Cat roll was delicious - I recommend it. Also get the sushi dip, it comes with fried crispy wonton chips and jalapeno sauce! Everything was nice and fresh. Beautiful presentation. Portions are generous and prices are agreeable. Friendly service in a nice and clean environment. I definitely recommend!“

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

“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 is the best Teriyaki restaurant in the state. I drive from Lacey WA. just to get it. I always get spicy chicken number 4. For the money the portions are amazing compared to what other restaurants will give you. Yes the building is not very nice and its cramped in the restaurant but the food is SO worth it.“

“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.“

“Beef teriyaki, sushi, and calamari are amazing!“

“It’s the Best. Hands down. Best food. I drive out from Tacoma all the time just for this tasty food. Can’t go wrong.“

“A friend of mine and I ate here a few weeks ago. The food was unbelievably amazing! We loved it! The service was excellent, too! I'm sure we'll go back as soon as we can. 10 stars ?

Parking: The parking lot is shared with a plasma center, which gets busy. But, overall, not bad.“

“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.“

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

“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!🌻❣️🙏🏾“

“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.“

“It's a small place, but I'm gonna tell you, have been tried to eat some good teriyaki, i used to eat while living in Kirkland, WA, and couldn't find anything around. So i said I'm going to try the next one. It's as I remember the taste i used to love.And big portion, actually it's a lot, i just couldn't finish.Sorry that i left a little bit in my plate, but just couldn't fit in anymore. Thanks.“

“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“

“Always delicious with nice portions! Recommend!“

“I don’t know why people complaining about prices here but I think you’ll get what you pay for. Decent food amount of food for the price! Service sometimes needs attention though, most of times there’s only one person working upfront taking all the orders and get confused which one to serve first! We come here once a week, then we stopped since the last customer service we had was bad and we can get better service somewhere else.“

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

“Ordered Chicken Teriyaki, Almond Chicken, and Shrimp Fried Rice. If you are looking for traditional Almond Chicken, this is not where you want to order from. It had veggies and a sauce more like teriyaki… so disappointed.? The chicken teriyaki was tender and cooked well. The shrimp fried rice was “fine”; nothing I would recommend. The total for this was just under $43 and no fortune cookies. Probably will not return…. Not bad just not what we were looking for.“

“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.“

“As someone from Hawaii who’s accustomed to Michelin-rated Japanese cuisine, I have high standards when it comes to sushi—and Sake Sushi & Grill absolutely delivered! I ordered the Chirashi (Sashimi Salad), and my husband had the Sushi Bento. Both dishes were outstanding. The sushi rice was a standout—perfectly cooked and seasoned, which is rare to find even at well-known spots. The selection of sashimi was exceptionally fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. You could taste the care and quality in every bite. My husband couldn’t stop raving about his Sushi Bento dinner, and we both agreed: Sake Sushi & Grill has officially become our new favorite. If I could give it a Michelin rating, I would—hands down. We can’t wait to return!“

“Been a long time since I could enjoy teriyaki and sushi. New owners previously ran a high end restaurant and bring that same experience here. Inside is newly renovated and continuing to change. New owner is a sushi chef and will be adding more variety in the near future with new menus. Juicy tender chicken with proper white fluffy rice, great chow mein, beef fried rice was perfect, egg drop soup broth was great. like to eat here atleast twice a week. there are definitely gluten free options if you go through the menu. they are great people and accomodating to those also with physical or mental handicap and or disabilities.

Dietary restrictions: a lot of gluten free options, may not be for celiac

Parking: Parking on both sides, you can loop around the back

Kid-friendliness: kid and family friendly, also very accomodating to those with physical or mental handicap and or disabilities

Wheelchair accessibility: accessible and not dangerous“

“First time eating here and it was excellent! Tasty chicken teriyaki, and yokisoba noodles. The eggrolls were probably some of the best I’ve ever had. Portions are huge.The woman working the front was extremely friendly and kind. The only downfall is I originally called to place an order, and there was a small language barrier, but other than that, experience was great.“

“We always have such a great experience here!
The staff is very kind and attentive, and are patient with my kids.
The servings here are very generous! Usually we are taking part of it home for the next day.
My son is a little more particular and they have always made his chicken katsu exactly how he likes it, and every time I've gotten sushi it was a hit!
This is also one of our favorite places for holidays because they are so generous celebrating birthdays!“

“Hubby was craving sushi, so stopped and ordered a Surprise roll for him, a long with a Tempura California roll. I ordered two Philadelphia rolls for myself and a chicken teriyaki lunch. The sushi was delicious and perfect. The chicken teriyaki lunch was wrong. It had spicy chicken and two servings of rice. I was really looking forward to the salad. Otherwise, definitely going back. Just double checking the order before leaving.“

“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!“

“Ok, since the other owners sold we’ve been a little disappointed with Happy…tonight they hit it out of the park! Idk what was different but OMG, the spicy chicken teriyaki was actually a 5! My husbands nose was running and I couldn’t stop steeling it off his plate! The sweet and sour YUMMMMMM!!!! (I did have to request extra sauce but that’s ok!) Whatever it is keep it up! Will be going back very soon!“

“Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down. Best Teriyaki in town hands down.“

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

“The food is so 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 :)“

“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“

“Their lunch teriyaki is absolutely amazing. Perfect proportions, some of the best teriyaki sauce. I will definitely be back! 💙💚💙💚“

“This Nagoya Teriyaki place is loaded with lots of flavor. The General Tso’s chicken spice level is no joke. Next time, I’ll get something less spicy. It’ll be worth it. Getting back to their chicken, it’s very good regardless. Chewy and never dry. It’s always a good bite to eat. The rice is great too. The mixing is a great idea when it comes to rice and chicken. It’s just… beautiful. Go get Nagoya whenever you got cravings for chicken.“

“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.“

“The food is good, BUT in that past year they have become SOoooo EXPENSIVE and its NOT worth the money any longer. The portions used to be larger and now they barely fill their boxes. Not going back because of those reasons. They need to drop the prices again and add more food to boxes again.“

“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“

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“

“one word...EXCEPTIONAL! An absolute must visit.“

“This is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to grab a bite with friends. We love the service and the food is amazing! The portions are large, and great for the price point. The employee greeted us with a friendly smile and had some great recommendations for us.“

“This was my first time here and it will not be my last! I ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice and a salad. It was delivered to me hot and fresh. The teriyaki sauce was delicious paired with the slightly chard chicken, which I like. The salad was crisp and the dressing was delicious. The man that waited on me was very friendly and courteous.“

“Fantastic quality of teriyaki, sushi, and soup; quite literally some of the best teriyaki we've had in Tacoma and elsewhere. Staff is extremely polite and provides fast and accurate service. The atmosphere is very calm and pretty, and the bathroom was clean and very nice. Will be visiting here constantly!

Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming and understanding of our little one and his want to bounce on the booth cushions.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite. We had the vegetable tempora as a starter. Husband had the Phoenix and I had a order of California rolls. Excellent food“

“I had chicken teriyaki & shrimp fried rice with a side salad it was delicious. Idk what dressing they put on the salad but omg i couldn't get enough lol. The man at the register was very nice and took my order promptly. He also made conversation with me i really enjoyed my time there will come back & bring the family. I highly suggest this place if your in the area & in the mood for teriyaki.“

“I have been coming here for years and the food is awesome!“

“I had an amazing experience at Umami Bento! The service was outstanding, with a friendly and attentive staff that made sure every detail was perfect. The sushi was the best I’ve had in the United States - fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch sushi and excellent service!“

“Very friendly, Food was great hot and fresh, Price point is great. Stopped in on the way home for dinner. Placed order Togo 3 meals and egg rolls. Less than 10mins to get food. Thank you
