“the menu is unique and set apart from every other burger restaurant. food is incredible, prices are great, staff is great, restaurant is clean and inviting. 5/5 love this place!“

“Came in for the first time after the gym next door, and wow! The teriyaki bowl is amazing! It's even got broccoli and cabbage, no one does that with their teriyaki bowls! And it's a great portion! Excellent flavor and char, I'm coming back!“

“First time visiting this place food was delicious . The owner was very kind and gave good hospitality. Alaska sushi roll
Was top tier . Chicken teriyaki came in large quantity which I was very happy seeing it . Thank you Bucks teriyaki for your amazing service , i will come again !“

“Truly excellent teriyaki.

Had friends in town who can’t eat gluten, and they wanted whatever I considered Seattles signature dish so I had to find them teriyaki. Called Himitsu and they kindly explained my options (all the teriyaki is gluten free, the fried rice CAN be if you specifically order it gluten free). When I picked up the food they were kind and friendly with a big smile.

The food itself was fantastic. Fried rice was excellent, and the teriyaki is of the less saucy variety. While the chicken didn’t have a lot of sauce it was well marinated and seasoned so it was very juicy and flavorful. Our favorite was the beef. It was thin, tender, and no unpleasant gristle to be found.

Our friends loved it and we now have an option we’d happily recommend to anyone, whether they can have gluten or not!“

“Everyone loves their karaage chicken...huge servings! They also have the best Tom Kha...the flavor is spot on! Pad See Ew, drunken noodles, etc are all wonderful. Portions are large & prices are reasonable. But, biggest reason I keep returning is their terrific staff...just the nicest people!“

“A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL! Egg rolls were a little unimpressive, but crisp and decent. General tso and Mongolian beef were amazing. Usually you get chicken that half breading but these were just lightly coated so you got genuine chunks of chicken. 100% will be back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“I ordered Chicken Katsu Spicy.
The quality of the food ⭐x5

Place is a bit small but cozy and clean.“

“Come for the lunch special and bring an empty stomach! A huge plate of delicious food for less than 20 bucks at lunch time is a rarity these days.

Also don't miss the opportunity to grab an extra side of their simple, yet delicious Mac salad.“

“Hands down this was the best teriyaki spot that is halal. We got the chicken teriyaki and beef short rib which was so delicious our family finished it instantly. We also got the Mongolian beef which had amazing flavor and texture. The general tsao chicken was also so delicious, had a sweet garlic flavor that was nice and crunchy.
The service was fast and the restaurant was extremely clean.

We are definitely coming here again.“

“If you like spicy, textured sushi rolls, you definitely have to order The H3 Roll ($19.99) at Appa Sushi & Bento Teriyaki!

Inside, it’s packed with spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail, and crunchy cucumber, then topped with creamy avocado, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. What makes this roll stand out is the four different types of tobiko (flying fish roe) on top. They add a salty, satisfying pop of texture that brings the whole roll together.
The fun part is that each tobiko color actually brings a unique, subtle flavor profile:

Red: Beet
Yellow: Yuzu/Citrus
Green: Wasabi
Black: Squid Ink

Don't let the exotic details intimidate you—the flavors are balanced and complement the roll perfectly. It's super filling, gorgeous to look at, and worth every penny. Highly recommend giving this a try if you enjoy fresh fish with a bit of a kick!“

“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.“

“Nikko is one of my go-to lunch spots. Their teriyaki chicken is the best in the valley. The portions are generous, and the sauce has a unique spice in it that I love, not your ordinary bottle variety sauce. Service is fast and always friendly.

In my most recent visit I strayed from the usual to sample their yakisoba noodles. Again, large portions for an exceptional value. It was fresh and hot. I ate it all, but I probably won't order it again, as I found the sauce too sweet. Next time back to the chicken.

Also, the gyoza are worth the splurge!“

“(Translated by Google) Today went, awesome KTV! Environmental facilities are very good! The biggest highlight is the WeChat scan code song, basically the phone can do a lot of things, followed by a system that many songs have pitch scores, and the system's small details are very interesting. The only drawback is that it feels like the room is a bit less, and it should be full of business afterwards.“

“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!“

“We had a wonderful experience at California Monster Sushi in Kent! The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything we ordered tasted delicious, and the portions were very satisfying.

The lady who served us was especially friendly, pleasant, and welcoming. She greeted us with a warm smile, patiently helped us with our order, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her kind and cheerful personality made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Great sushi, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We will definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant!“

“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.“

“Have ordered from here three times now, and the food has been absolutely incredible, especially the sushi! Today's order I made a very bone-headed move and the owner resolved it in a way that I wasn't expecting, so 5/5 on the customer service! Definitely have a customer for life at this point!“
