7 Best Japanese Restaurants near Issaquah

“Not a frequent reviewer but I wanted to highlight this place. I came in knowing I was allergic to seafood (wife wanted sushi) and was a bit worried on what I could order. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating the owner was! He made sure there was no cross-contamination when making my order and was very kind the whole time. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and pork combo which was amazing. Would recommend if you're in the area!“

“This place food is always great and fresh. Recently tried their goemon bento with teriyaki chicken and tempura shrimp. Everything was delicious. Tempura was so crispy and light. Each accompaniment was good.And how come people are not taking about their cheese cake slices, it tasted light, less on sugar and wow!“

“At first I was a bit skeptical, given it is a sushi restaurant in the middle of the suburbs. It is a nice and clean restaurant. I will say when dining in, the experience was better than any other sushi restaurants I have been to. Right when you are seated, they offered complimentary hot towels (to wipe your hands) and miso soups (that are amazingly good). We're big fans of seared salmon nigiri and it is a typically what we order when eating sushi, I can say that they were spot on! Good size pieces of quality fish. With the right amount of sauces. And the presentation was great! The food was pretty quick as well. Their service was friendly. Apart from their dine in experience, I have also ordered a bulgogi and California rolls to go. Still exceeded expectations, and was delicious! 10/10 would highly recommend!“

“The absolute best local sushi/Japanese restaurant in issaquah/sammamish. We're here once a week and the team never disappoints.Service: even when it's busy, we're greeted by a friendly hostess and the sushi chefs. The drinks and food orders are quick and precise.Presentation: is exceptional. The sushi rolls are well presented and salmon combo (our favorite) always looks delicious.Now onto the best part: the food.The tempura is always light and crispy, gyoza is crunchy and filling is tasty.Our mains consist of a sushi roll, salmon combo, sashimi and kids bento. All of it is well portioned (we don't leave hungry!) And fresh fresh fresh! My picky 6yo learned to eat sushi here and will only accept zushi salmon roll! That's the best testament to how well done the plates are here.The specials, like the sashimi ball or crispy butterflied shrimp, are a great balance of flavors. I'm particular about too much sauce and it's never an issue here.We love coming here and highly recommend it to all our friendsKid-friendliness: My kids love it here. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The team welcomes the whole family when we arrive, not just the adults. It makes my kids feel welcomed and they're relaxed throughout the meal, leaving the parents to enjoy dinner too“

“The teriyaki chicken is always delicious and the garlic sauce makes it extra special. Price is high but the portions are generous and usually enough for leftovers. The spicy garlic chicken is good too. We usually order takeout. The service is timely.“

“Always a great site for drinks, food and very family friendly too for all ages until l000PM. Hawaiian/Polynesian decorations are beyond great and the food be it Hawaiian based or Sushi based with a really nice Sushi counter there too, is beyond awesome. Plus, I love the Karaoke Friday nights where it is nice to sing with children and or enjoy how talented many of our young ones are. I have not experienced family karaoke one night a week since Shakey's pizza in Burien used to do it 20 to 30 years ago. Trust me, if if you're single, or a fun, nice place to eat, excellent service, staff and good food, check it out.“

“A step ahead of most teriyaki places. The staff were very friendly and upbeat. Teriyaki and brisket were absolutely delicious and I'd say better than toshi's or bistro down the hill. The salad is actually a salad with all sorts of good stuff and and NOT a bunch of lettuce with ranch, I really appreciate that. All for 12$ too. I highly recommend this place.“
