This was our first time going to Kim’s. We went for lunch midweek. The restaurant was full. The staff member was polite and professional. The food came out fresh and hot and tasted great! We ordered teriyaki, broccoli & grilled chicken and gyoza dishes. We received free soda with every meal. The restaurant is clean. They also received an EXCELLENT food and safety rating from the Dept of Public Health! This may be our new teriyaki place!

I come to this place often for lunch. Sometimes they are quite busy, and it’s easy to see why: great food and reasonable prices. I particularly like the chicken salad, but the chicken katsu is also a favorite, as is the fried rice and sweet and sour chicken from the Chinese menu.

Teriyaki is above average .. it comes with a free soda, Dr Pepper, Coca-Cola, Sprite, and others. There’s always a movie playing from Netflix and my teriyaki chicken has grill marks like it was fresh off the grill. I will definitely be back.

Very good and traditional done place is friendly and clean definitely a hit I got the teriyaki plate and my wife got the wonton soup both are 5 star in taste and portion size. Definitely a must try

Tim Mamedov
Me and my coworkers love coming here for a lunch, always hits the spot. The owner of this establishment is very pleasant as well. Best teriyaki restaurant down South from Seattle hands down.

NO CHICKEN!! No chicken!!! Don't have chicken, ran out of chicken, DON'T HAVE ANY CHICKEN!!! What kind of teriyaki restaurant doesn't have chicken, runs out or didn't had enough or whaaaaaat??? Will never comeback here! Get your Ssss together!!!!
I absolutely love this place! With Seattle being swamped with teriyaki choices, I always end up back at Kim’s. They have all the flavor at a good price. Their menu is fairly small but everything they have that I’ve tried is yummy! Which is most, it not all of the menu. Been going to this place since 2017 and it’s been good every time.

For $12-15 you get a pretty large serving of rice, coleslaw and meat of your choice. As far as Kent goes, great teriyaki!

I went to Kim's because I heard it had great Seattle-style teriyaki and I've been looking for a new teriyaki place closer to home than my current go-to place. It's good teriyaki, but not a true Seattle-style teriyaki.
I ordered the chicken/beef teriyaki combo and it didn't really hit the spot. The chicken was a bit dry, but the beef was perfectly cooked. Both were well marinated. Unfortunately, the teriyaki sauce that Seattle-style is known for was barely present. The sauce was also way too salty, super thin, more like a light glaze than a sauce, and there was almost none of it present. It pretty much ran off the meat and left a very tiny puddle. I actually spent time debating with myself if this was, indeed, a sauce and not the marinade, but I noticed one side of the chicken was slightly shinier than the other, so I felt this was added after cooking and must be a sauce.
My hunt continues.

Kim's Teriyaki is our favorite teriyaki in Kent. Their food is absolutely delicious, their restaurant is super clean and well maintained, and the folks working are always super friendly. We usually grab takeaway from them, and when we had a busy day we once went there for lunch AND dinner. Yes. Their food is that delicious! I love their chicken teriyaki and their chicken yakisoba. We love sharing a pork gyoza order. My husband gets chicken teriyaki with 4*'s of spice and it is SPICY AS HECK and he absolutely loves to sweat and cry through it. Kim's is one place that we can always agree on going to and always sounds good for lunch/dinner. Their salads are also the best! The salad dressing is perfection.
If you haven't given Kim's a try, go! Plenty of free parking, easy to get in/out of the parking lot, and super delicious food at decent prices.
Note: the teriyaki is so good that I forgot to take a photo before I started eating it >facepalm<. The teriyaki does not come partially eaten!

I would of given 5 star except I paid 5.99 extra for fried rice that tasted like peas. There were so many peas . Took me 30min to pick them out and left me half of my rice afterwards. Be sure to order light peas or no peas. Wish i could post the Pic. I've never seen so many dang peas lol. Also be nice to have a side of terrayaki sauce. As chicken was little dry. Highly recommended the beef over chicken. Possibly a little more dressing for salad. Other than that was very good and was good service.
