50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fircrest

“​It’s been a while since my last visit, and I noticed the management has changed. The food tastes even better now, and the restaurant has a really trendy, stylish vibe! Since the food got so much better, I think I’ll be coming here pretty often.“

“My favorite sushi place. Unassuming place run by the NICEST people. I come back because the food is delicious, but more so because it is run by the kindest, hardworking people. You can have the worst day and you’ll leave this place happy and full of delicious food.“

“This restaurant is top 3 lunch/dinner spots in the state. I eat here at least once a week. Food is always prepared perfectly, prices are fair and competitive, and the staff are kind and engaging. I bring my kids also and they have a great kids meal that even my picky toddlers will finish. Recommend the lunch time specials- food portions are large.“

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

“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.“

“The employees or owners are so very kind. There was a small mistake in a Togo order and they went WAY FAR and BEYOND to make up for it. It was barely a mistake in the first place but they treated it as if it were a million dollar mistake lol. Thank you so much and will be back.“

“Chicken so soft it's easy to cut with the plastic fork, seared just enough with the best flavor. That's just the teriyaki. Sweet & Sour reminds me of the old Great Wall off 6th Ave. Noodles were great. Drinks are typical but a definite place to revisit.“

“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.“

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

“Service was great with large portions of food!“

“2 men after a very rainy 5 mile beach hike found this a great experience!
It was a perfect temperature to warm us up. Food was amazing, their daily chicken teriyaki special, gyoza and Won Ton Soup was perfect. The woman server was extraordinary. We will be back.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Be going here over 15 years. Never disappointed!!!! Great people and great hosts!!!“

“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!“

“I got the Pad See-Ew and the Crab wontons 😩 oh my god the best wontons I've ever had. They're so good and savory. And the Pad See-Ew is so filling. Good prices too! I put 20-30, but I only spent like 26 bucks which I think is a very good price for what I got ☺️“

“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!“

“Tasty food and portions are large. We dined in and were provided with extra bottles of dressing and another spicy sauce. My husband had the bento (teriyaki chicken, bulgogi, fried rice and gyoza/egg roll) and I had chicken katsu that I shared with my little one. There was plenty of food to share. The server/owner anticipated our needs and offered to go boxes before we even asked and gave us complimentary fortune cookies. The restaurant was clean and atmosphere was great. We look forward to going back and highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The definition of a mom & pop shop that cares about what they do. Food is consistently great. I always order take out and the dishes are still always well-prepared and presented, quick service, etc. If you’re in the area and haven’t tried it then you’re robbing yourself.“

“The Gig Harbor store really does a great job with their displays. my kids enjoyed the valentines day photo booth!!“

“We loved their special rice combo so much that we had them cater for our wedding! They were so happy and excited to be apart of it. When we picked up the food they had given us a large portion and everyone at the wedding enjoyed it! Will be back for more!“

“I’ve been here several times for both dine-in and takeout, and it’s always been a great experience. The service is consistently friendly, and the food is amazing. The rolls are flavorful with plenty of great options to choose from. The chef’s choice nigiri always includes excellent selections, and the teriyaki dishes are delicious as well. Highly recommend!“

“Inviting, clean dining room. Good atmosphere. Attentive and speedy service. Got the udon and salmon express roll and both were excellent. Definitely want to come back to try more of the sushi. Just a really on point Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“We had so much fun! It was our first time there! It was so good and the waiters and waitresses are super friendly! The food was so good! Thank you for a great birthday 🥳“

“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.“

“It’s under new ownership and I didn’t know that when I placed my order. This used to be my favorite place to get Mongolian beef. When I ordered online I asked for ‘extra onion/veggies’ my fault for not specifying only the veggies that normally come with the meal and they added broccoli which turned the dish into the taste of broccoli and beef- which I didn’t want. Also, this dish has much more kick to it than the previous owners, so those with heartburn be aware. Also there is no note on their site stating if dishes are spicy. Nice enough woman working at front, but when I called to ask about the broccoli and let her know it ruined the taste, she explained why there was broccoli she had nothing left to add. An offer to remake or correct would have been nice, or at least an ‘I’m sorry’. Again my fault for not specifying what kind of extra veggies.“

“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'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.“

“A gem in the middle of a strip mall. We stoped in spontaneously after shopping and were happy to see vegetarian options. Their tofu teriyaki dish was generously portioned and very tasty! As was the tofu fried rice dish. Also very flavorful and plentiful. The egg soup and hot tea were welcome on a cold rainy day. Atmosphere was welcoming. Clean tables and surroundings, and friendly service. Will come back!“

“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.“

“One of the best and most affordable places to get a filling, relatively healthier, and tasty meal at the mall! The gentlemen who gives out the samples and the cook are both very kind and friendly. They even made me freshly cooked samples when I dropped by! Since it’s at the mall of course the atmosphere needs work but that doesn’t reflect on their food. I don’t like my teriyaki overtly sweet like I’ve had at other places but this place gets the right balance of sweet and salty down for my tastes! Rice is a hit or miss sometimes it a cooked to perfection sometimes it’s a bit overcooked, but their chicken is delicious!“

“The food is so delicious!!!“

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

“Wonderful service and the food is very tasty.“

“To rate any less would be unacceptable. The food, the people, the atmosphere. To figure out where to start is very difficult. Upon entering this establishment I was immediately met by a positive host exuding happy vibes. The wait for my food was not long. In most cases my first concern would have been the quality. This concern was met by beautiful dishes of well placed food cooked at the right temperatures and without the heavy flare and over sauced noodles I have come to expect from most of these establishments. The host was not hovering but kept kind anytime interactions sparked. He left me in peace to enjoy my meal. To say that this restaurant is anything short of a experience would be greatly wronged. If a higher rating were possible I would happily give it.
But for now I give you this. If you wish to enjoy beautifully cooked food, lovely rolled sushi and hot sake heated to perfect temperature. Please come here and enjoy it for your self. Share a smile with the host and enjoy a experience. I will surely be coming back very soon to see what all this establishment has to offer.
Sincerely
A rainy day.“

“We order from Yum Yum Teriyaki often and are always satisfied with their food and service. We especially like the house Yakisoba and beef broccoli, but all their food is delicious! The owners are very friendly and work hard to please. We highly recommend this restaurant!“

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

“Been coming here for some time and have had a positive experience every time.
Enrique always has a smile and a positive Attitude.
Good luck on finding a whole meal for $10 anywhere let alone finding one that taste Good and is so filling . Big portions .
I got the lunch special Chicken beef/ teriyaki
It came with a nice portion of rice and fresh salad. My wife ordered the chicken and gyoza meal that was delicious!
They have only raised their prices One time that I am aware of in the last few years even thru covid and it was not extreme like most of the other restaurants.
I would say i would have raised them more myself.
I fed my wife and myself for $25
Good luck i'm finding that anywhere“

“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“

“Was looking for good chinese food nearby, came across this place, it may be served simply but it is deliciously served. Panda express cannot compare to this restaurant. I regretted going to panda express, their chow mein tasted like stove top, same as their egg rolls tasted like stuffing in a box. This place gives high quality food at decent prices. And is very friendly for customer service, pretty sure he is the owner but him and i talked about good food for a minute, and i saw his menu and asked about the crabmeat salad. So delicious as well. Stop by this place for a real experience and delicious food. You should give it a shot if in the area.

Unsure of others reviews my food was/is delicious lol.

Delicious! Pics included.

“Last night was our first dining experience at Domo Sushi, and we definitely plan to return! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful night out.“

“Okay Teryaki, but too much sauce on my teriyaki,sauce is a bit too strong and way too sweet,and salad sauce container on top of the food ,kinda unsanitary :/ , this place use to be better, so I may come back next year to see if any improvement.“

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

“New owners are really nice and food is great.“

“The food was delicious and the customer service was amazing! My 2 and 5 year olds are still learning good restaurant manners, and our server was so kind. She brought coloring pages, tiny toys for them to play with, and even taught them how to use training chopsticks. Our family had a great time!“

“Great service from staff and food always is delicious. Big, generous portions too!“
