37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Issaquah

“An Absolutely enjoyable experience. The owner/ chef is a very nice and friendly man with a very welcoming presence. The food was excellent, presented beautifully and arrived quickly. He even surprised us at the end of our meal with complimentary spicy tuna hand rolls. The food was great but his presence really puts it over the top.“

“Every time I go to Teriyaki Bistro, there’s something new and delicious calling my name and the whole menu feels like it’s competing to be the best meal of the day. I love the fresh flavors and the simplicity of the dishes; everything tastes clean, balanced, and satisfying. It’s the kind of spot you keep coming back to because you know you’ll leave happy every time.“

“Bento-ya Goemon Authentic Japanese food....been looking for good Japanese food close by! So very glad we found this take-out restaurant! I had the Salmon Bento box, cooked perfectly moist & lightly seasoned....everything freshly made! I definitely will be back! 5 star Rating!“

“We had both the sushi lunch special and the lunch special. The sushi was awesome, really generous cuts of fish that had great flavor.

The rolls were really well presented but were not as tasty as the sushi. There wasn't a choice on the rolls and they just weren't to our taste I think.

The agedashi tofu appetizer was really well done and the edamame was perfect. We also really enjoyed the complimentary miso soup.

Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.“

“Excellent food and taste.“

“The ramen selection is so unique! Went there with friends, there was wait even though it was past peak lunch hour. The waitlist goes fast but expect to wait 5+ mins to get seated.

Service was prompt and fast but nothing personal to note for. Their ramen was great!!
Original tonkotsu was super flavorful but not too heavy, and their seafood ramen was amazing too!! Can’t wait to go back to try their pesto and black sesame!“

“Best place ever!! 5 stars!! The food is incredible, best vietnamese I’ve ever had. Not only is the food incredible, but the servers are so kind! Overall a great experience and would highly recommend!!“

“great food,and supper friendly stuff will be back again“

“My husband and I chose Towa to celebrate our birthdays, and we were truly impressed. The presentation, service, and freshness of the ingredients were all exceptional. If you are seeking a refined fine-dining experience for a special occasion in Redmond, this is a fantastic choice.“

“My friends and I went to Shinya Shokudo today and has the best time ever! Crystal our server was absolutely amazing and was very sweet! We had a million questions and every single time she was willing to answer. Our food was always very on time and even when splitting up the check she dealt with our request with no issue! 10/10 would recommend!“

“Their high quality tonkatsu reminds me of my home, Japan. I go there every chance I get. The staff is very friendly and nice. Highly recommend.“

“The food - fantastic. Service was quick and very reasonably priced. Ordered the spicy and either they forgot or it wasn’t spicy enough. Solid flavor profile and would come again. Takeout is the best way to go as the shop is very small and tables on top of one another.“

“I’m Japanese and usually spend half the year in the U.S. and the other half in Japan. This time, I have to stay in the U.S. for over a year, and I’ve honestly been feeling homesick almost every day. But after eating the tempura bowl here, my homesickness eased a little.

We often go out for sushi or try other Japanese restaurants. Sushi is usually okay, but when it comes to other Japanese food, the only place we’ve consistently liked is Kizuki Ramen—and even there, only the ramen and karaage stand out. It’s been hard to find a place where you can enjoy a variety of authentic Japanese dishes at a reasonable price and with great quality.

So my husband and I were genuinely impressed and touched to find this restaurant. After a really disappointing experience at a late-night Japanese restaurant near Bellevue recently, discovering this place made us so happy. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“One of the best take out Teriyaki Chicken I have had. We will definitely be back for more.“

“We ordered 2 combination meals and a side order of the 10-piece Gyoza and were sooo happy with our food and service!! The young man who took our order at the counter gave me excellent service and the young making making the California Roll was very friendly and both young men provided a very inviting and extremely great experience. The food was wonderfully tasty with very generous portions!! Thank you for the great food and service that continues after many years of serving the Sammamish community/neighbors!! Keep up the excellent traditional! Sam & T“

“This is such a hidden gem. My best friend and I have been here a few times and the food is delicious. We've decided that next time we are going from front to back on the menu until we try everything... because all that we have ordered so far has been wonderful. The dragon roll, ahi tuna salad, and the pokemon roll have been favorites.“

“I've been eating at Kami Teriyaki for years, and it's my go-to place for General Tao's Chicken and other dishes. So tasty!

Yes, like all restaurants their prices have skyrocketed and portion sizes aren't huge, but that's pretty normal everywhere now so I can't fault them for it. They solved the parking problem for pick-up, which is great (there are reserved spots for their restaurant).

Last I checked they switched sauces for their spicy chicken teriyaki and the new sauce isn't good, but all of their other food is great.“

“Been going here for years. Always consistently good for chicken teriyaki or yakisoba. Eggs rolls are good too. Nice side salad. Always fresh. Never left a review for them in the 10 plus years I've eaten there and I always go back. Figured I should. A go to spot for an easy meal.“

“I always go for Musashi if I decided to have some sushi for the day. Good price, good quality and big portion but… they always forget to pack my soy sauce for the sushi like most of the time when I ordered togo…luckily I do have some at home lol“

“Teriyaki was great, special menu had interesting dishes you won't find at most teriyaki joints. Owner is super friendly and still passionate about service and food quality, she made it a memorable treat to dine in! This is our new go-to teriyaki joint when we're in the Eastside“

“This place gives a good amount of food for the price and it tastes great too. The staff are kind and sweet. Best Teriyaki place I’ve been to.

Kid-friendliness: The staff had no issues cleaning up a water spill from a family with two little kids and even gave the kids lollipops after they finished!“

“Cozy place to enjoy Teriyaki.
Good delicious teriyaki plus other menu items

Nice friendly service.

Higher prices than average, but we are in this gorgeous nice city of Bellevue, every thing here in every where is expensive. Nothing cheap. Nothing has reasonable price.

But here the Portions are good.

Convenient place
Near QFC.
Large parking lot.“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“Great food and quick service“

“Amazing and authentic Japanese sandwiches! I recommend them all!“

“The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal! This was so good!“

“Today is my second visit. During my first visit, I didn’t know where to park, so I parked in a nearby church parking lot and had to pay for parking.
Thanks to the owner’s kind guidance, I learned that if you park in the parking garage, they give you a free 2-hour free parking ticket.
Today again, the fresh vegetables and warm teriyaki were delicious.“

“Quite literally the best stuff ever, Joe is a straight up G, the cooks are also just straight up Gs best yaki around come eat it now. I wish I could give 6 stars, Joe not only served me great food but also gave me a ride home when my car broke down. This place is heaven on earth“

“I've been ordering sushi from here every week for over six months. They know me as the guy who orders the Philadelphia roll with fresh salmon on top)) These are the best sushi I've ever eaten and I've been to many different places, believe me, it's true. Only here the most delicious sushi.“

“I don’t usually write reviews, as you can probably tell from my non-review status, but this Jumbo Chicken Teriyaki Box has completely changed the game for me. As someone who travels frequently for work and eats on the go, I was not only surprised but genuinely in awe of the simple yet incredible meal that was delivered to my less-than-glamorous hotel room in Seatle.

When I say "simple," I don’t mean it in a negative way—rather, it was simply perfect. The chicken, the salad—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I was so impressed that I feel compelled to tell others: Order from here now, and often!

It’s been two weeks since I left Seattle, and I’ve thought about this meal at least 35 times since returning home. This place is a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to get back to the West Coast so I can dine here again. For what it’s worth, I ordered from them both nights of my stay in Seattle. Highly recommend!“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“This was my gf and I 1st time eating here and let me tell you it was soooo good! We will definitely be frequenting this place. Thank you guys for dinner 5⭐s“

“Hidden gem alert: Just tried Tokyo Flame Teriyaki in Lynnwood and wow—this place delivers flavor and comfort in every bite.

I ordered the chicken teriyaki combo and it was perfectly grilled, juicy, and glazed with that rich, slightly smoky sauce that makes you want to lick the container. The rice was fluffy, the veggies crisp, and the portion? Generous without being overwhelming.

The staff were super friendly and fast, and the place had a cozy, no-frills vibe that made me feel right at home. Prices are great too—definitely wallet-friendly without sacrificing quality.

If you're craving classic teriyaki done right, this spot is a must. I’ll be back for the spicy pork next time!“

“This is one of my go to places when I don't want to get food at work. I believe its a family owned business. My favorite is the regular teriyaki chicken. Food comes out freshly made, hot and the teriyaki sauce is the perfect balance of sweet. Usually do takeout as the lobby isn't the biggest but you can eat in. Very conveniently located by the Microsoft Studios. Way better than the chicken available on campus.“

“Delicious food. Excellent portions. Good friendly service. Reasonable prices. Clean spacious seating lounge.

But if something not up to your expectations.
Please talk to the owner at the casheir They will make it right to make you happy. So you can have a very good eating experience.
Convenient location, large parking lot. Lots of free parking

Highly recommend“

“We are regulars at Tokyo. This restaurant has been in Factoria for many years and it is always great. The service is great. The sushi is fresh and delicious. We also order a variety of hot doors such as bento boxes, uson, and various rice bowls. I think their chicken karage is also exceptional. We do both dine in and takeout and it is always great!“

“Friendly Service and excellent Teriyaki of various kinds!“
