22 Best Japanese Restaurants in Kent

“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.“

“I’ve been skeptical to try another Teriyaki place as the past couple of ones I’ve been to have been disappointing. I looked at reviews and photos and saw that this spot looked really good so I decided to go here for lunch today. I’m so glad I did, this will be my new go to spot. I came in and ordered Chicken Teriyaki to go, it also came with a free can of soda which was nice. The restaurant was clean and the service was very quick and friendly. The Chicken Teriyaki came with two scoops of rice and a salad. This is the best chicken teriyaki I’ve had in years, the chicken was grilled perfectly, the sauce on the chicken was just right, and the salad was fresh and super crisp. If you’re craving some good Teriyaki like how you once remember it being definitely check out Kim’s Teriyaki you won’t be disappointed.“

“I’ve been coming here ever since I was 5 years old. My mom would take my sister and I here to get a good cheap meal. I was visiting and came back to try it. It’s still as good as I remember. I hope this place continues to stay open. They have great daily deals and lunch specials.“

“I have celiac and Love that I can finally have teriyaki and fried rice! If your used to higher prices for gluten free food their prices are typical for gf. Worth it for not getting sick. I usually am working so I call ahead and get my food to go. Employees are always really nice, and the food tastes great! ❤️“

“Variety of rolls to choose from. We ordered Godzilla roll & Super Dragon roll. Both tasted great and affordably priced too. Very friendly staffs with cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“Asian Table in Kent is a tasty find! The sushi roll was fresh, with perfect rice and zesty flavors. Teriyaki chicken was juicy, charred just right. Staff’s friendly, making you feel at home. Quirky paper lanterns give it a cozy glow. Only gripe? Portions could be bigger. A solid spot for sushi and Asian bites!“

“I'm pretty picky about teriyaki these days but this place is EXCEPTIONALLY good. The staff member Rianna was super friendly and helpful and had amazing recommendations. The food is great. The katsu, teriyaki and fried rice are literally mouth watering and FRESH. This is our new go to spot and can't wait to try more!“

“I. Love. This. Place. They are our go-to teriyaki spot and have been for years, but what I really love is that they are family run and get to know and care about their customers. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Entered skeptical and a little turned off by the price. Left having had one of the best sandwiches of my life.

Absolutely recommend dining in and eating while the burger and fries are as fresh as possible. Store is clean and atmosphere is pleasant.

Will absolutely be back.“

“I tried this place for the first time today. Ordered spicy chicken teriyaki. I didn't like how they put onions and carrots mixed with the chicken. They also didn't give teriyaki sauce to put on your rice. The food was just alright, for what I spent ($15) There's plenty of better teriyaki places in Kent.“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing, hands down the best sushi we have had. This is a one man operation and honestly, I don’t know how he does it. All of the fish is flown in from all over the world and is the absolute best top notch quality. Follow his IG to see when reservations drop. You’ll have to book a couple weeks out but it’s worth the wait! You’ll preorder your food while making a reservation as well.

Other notes: pretty easy to find street parking in this area of Kent, we’ve never had an issue. Enter right at your reservation time, no earlier. It’s an intimate space best for couples and small groups.“

“We just flew into SeaTac from Texas. We decided we wanted some Asian food and I looked for a spot that was on the way to our AirBnB. Saw this one and the reviews were a bit mixed, but overall it looked good and had a decent overall rating. Service was quick, the food was hot, the kids loved it (major win), and the egg rolls might be some of the best I’ve ever had! The restaurant leaves a bit to be desired as far as ambiance and atmosphere, but we all very much enjoyed our food (chicken teriyaki, sweet and sour chicken, chicken katsu, and egg rolls).“

“The food was so delicious. The resturant looked clean. The lady in front counter was really nice. I live far away, but I keep coming back to order more. I heard their chief has more than 20 years of experiences in teriyaki resturant and they use quality food for the customer.“

“Been going here since i was in second grade, so roughly almost 20 years. My family used to have a shop in the shopping center, so my cousin and i (Tony and David) used to walk over and eat almost every week after school.

Get the Chicken Katsu. I kid you not, it’s the best Katsu i’ve ever had. Out of all the teriyaki joints in the area, hands down, they make it best. It’s crispy, crunchy, tender and just the right amount of chew! Paired with rice, salad and their katsu sauce. You won’t get none of that dry, soggy and fall off breading like you do at other places.

Also, if you’re not a fried food fan, their Chicken Teriyaki is delicious! Classic, tender, moist chicken with rice. My #2 next to Chicken Katsu.

For the owner and their family,
Thank you for serving the community for the last 2 decades. As a kid to an adult, i’ve always felt so welcomed every time i stepped in. I will always drive across towns just to come and eat here. Thank you, and will see you again and again!

P.S. to the family: If it is ever time for the owners to retire, please dm the Katsu recipe! Really! Haha“

“I love this teriyaki place. It is by far the best around and I’ve been to plenty of teriyaki restaurants. The food is always good and consistent. Same goes for the service. It’s very quick and the owner is great. My favorite thing is the teriyaki sauce which is made in house according to the owner. Will definitely be coming back for more delicious teriyaki.“

“My boyfriend suggested me this place and told me he’s been going here with his dad for over 10-15+ years. It’s your mom and pop shop, run by really sweet older couple. Service is always quick and food is always 10/10. I would go here whenever I craved a good plate of teriyaki, I also love their noodles too!“

“I visited this restaurant with my family and we had such an amazing experience. We ordered the Kent Roll, the Chili Wave Roll, and the Dragon Roll, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. We also tried the beef bulgogi and tteokbokki, and they were honestly the best I have ever had. The beef was perfectly marinated and tender, and the tteokbokki had just the right amount of spice and richness. On top of the delicious food, the portions were very generous, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and the entire restaurant was spotless and inviting. This place truly feels like a hidden gem in Kent, and I am so glad we found it. I will definitely be coming back with my family again!“

“I. Love. This. Place. They are our go-to teriyaki spot and have been for years, but what I really love is that they are family run and get to know and care about their customers. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Came in during lunch and got Chicken Teriyaki w/ gyoza

The Gyoza was absolutely delicious and crispy
White rice was fluffy and the chicken + sauce was impeccable. i almost wanted to douse the whole thing of rice with sauce because it tasted so good. will definitely be coming back for lunch“

“This is my go to place to eat teriyaki! I love the owners ( women at the counter) they are always so kind and call me by name when I call or come in! Would recommend! It isn’t the ritziest of places but the price of the food makes up for it!!“

“You guys ruined everything as customers.
They no longer serve real pho noodles because of you guys! Yes! You!!!
What do you mean “Pad Thai noodles”?
What do you mean they don’t have “regular pho noodles” here.
They literally put up a sign months ago saying they had two different types of noodles for you to choose?!?
I already had a bad feeling this wasn’t going to end well.
My God—your so-called “regular pho noodles” are actually hủ tiếu / kuteo noodles. Back then, restaurants in the US couldn’t afford fresh pho noodles, so they used hủ tiếu as a replacement. Just because you got used to it doesn’t mean you get to ruin it for everyone else.
Buy a ticket, go to Vietnam, touch some grass, and see what real pho noodles actually look and taste like.
I love this place to death—and I mean it. I’ve been coming here ever since my banker introduced me to it, and only here. Only this place. Because of their noodle options, and because their broth reminds me so much of Southern pho in Vietnam.

You guys are absolutely crazy.“
