13 Best Japanese Restaurants in Kirkland

“We had an amazing experience at this place. Our food came out very fast, which was a big plus, and everything was absolutely delicious. The rolls were incredibly fresh, the fish was tender, and the avocado was perfectly ripe. The flavors were well balanced, not too heavy on sauces, just really enjoyable. You can tell the chefs care about quality. We honestly loved every bite and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Just moved to the area from Bellevue, I've eaten at over 30 teriyaki places across the east side and Seattle. This place is insanely good and a crazy good value. Got the spicy chicken and a chicken katasu. Blown away at how well prepared the food was.

Friendly, fast service.

I will be coming back again and again to try everything on the menu.“

“I always love coming to this place because they always have great portion sizes and excellent customer service. I am a frequent customer and in my opinion one of the best teriyaki places in the area!! One of the many things I love eat here is the Korean fried chicken which is only available during dinner time it doesn’t need sauce to make it taste amazing but when you have it with the sauce it elevates the flavor more and each time I order anything from the menu, you can tell everything is fresh and piping hot when you get it! This business deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion and I recommend this place to all my customers at my place of work. 10/10 in my book!“

“Possibly the best teriyaki you will find anywhere! I have been coming here for almost 13 years. The place is clean and well take care of. They've had the same employees for years so you know they take care of their workers. The food is very high quality, huge portions, and the service is fast, friendly, and very efficient. Tony and Grace are great people and really take pride in running a great restaurant.“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“Good food as always. we ate there with my co-workers for lunch today and it was so good i have to go back to buy some for dinner to take home.“

“There are not many options on the menu but you will see all the standard items offered at most Teriyaki places. They have the standard beef, pork, chicken, spicy chicken, fried rice and other standard items.

The service is nice and friendly but was a little short staffed when we arrived during the middle of the lunch hour. They make up for that by being extremely nice and courteous.

The spicy chicken is fantastic and, while I'm typically not a huge fan of teriyaki beef, I have to say that it's one of the better ones I've tried.

They have a lot of beverages from the soda fountain or in the bottle/can but also offer free tea and water.

The entrance is on the main level and very easy for those with walkers or wheelchairs to enter and find a table. Plenty of room between tables to get around. There are some booths along the wall but it's mainly tables with chairs.

Prices are reasonable and what you'd expect. Not many options for kids specifically and only a couple of options for vegetarian's.“

“Not only is the crispy rice and tuna, pork belly bun, and ramen delicious but they are also life savers. My best friend started choking and one of the employees came and gave her the Heimlich maneuver. Thank you for helping her! I tried to tip the employee and he refused. Really thank you. I know everyone’s adrenaline through the roof!“

“Everything there is delicious and always artfully presented, and the service by the staff is also very good.“

“Reasonably Priced; Outstanding Sushi!😋 Oh, and the FRIENDLY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE was very appreciated.“

“A nice little spot for some delicious sushi in downtown Kirkland. Walked in on Friday evening and were seated really quickly. The staff was welcoming and friendly in a down to Earth way. Our table was clean and comfortable. Great variety on the menu; I was able to order non-sushi items for myself and daughter while my friends found some great looking sushi plates. My chicken Katsu was crispy and cooked perfectly, and included a fresh salad and a cup of miso soup, which was very tasty. We tried the potato-ball/squid dish (I can't recall the name) and it was VERY good!!! Great on a cold evening to warm you up. Prices seemed fair and our waitress was very helpful and friendly. Definitely worth a stop! :-)“

“Fav local sushi place in Juanita“

“Really enjoyed the sushi and different items on the menu. However, very understaffed. We were seated right away but it took close to 30 minutes for anyone to take even a drink order. So we ordered everything at the same time. The drinks and food arrived faster than taking our order. Really need to have enough staff for efficiency.“
