“I went to Creekside house originally they didn’t even even acknowledge that I was in the restaurant, even set up my laptop and everything to do work. They still never brought me a menu went to Midori teriyaki fast friendly served me right away and the food is awesome.“

“Had a pleasant experience coming here for the first time. I did try both the Katsu beef and chicken burger, and would advise the chicken burger for most. Even so, experience was good, staff was kind, their large portions are indeed very large so do take that into account. Would stop by again if I am in the area.“

“This our favorite teriyaki place in town! Every dish we’ve tried there has been excellent and portion sizes are great! Highly recommend. 👍“

“Stopped in on a Friday evening, dine in and it was wonderful. Small dining area with the basics but is so clean. The dine-in area just had one other couple but the to-go orders were plentiful. The owners greeted everyone with sincerity and all the to-go peeps seemed to be regulars. We enjoyed a chicken bento box and an order of the orange chicken. Both were played well and tasted amazing. So fresh! Japan Teriyaki was a great surprise find tucked away off of 20th.“

“We have traveled through Washington many times in the past 6 years and no matter what part of the state we are visiting we always make a point to stop at the Teriyaki Point restaurant in Marysville Wa. The variety and excellent tasting selections on their menu are second too none. The Choi family are very friendly and excellent hosts.“

“Great food and such nice ownership! I tend to go once every couple weeks! They keep me coming back“

“I ordered the Ramen with dumplings which was very tasty, and a side of gyozas. Very good. The Ramen was perfectly spicy. I have yet to try the teriyak, as this was my first visit. The family that owns the Jackpot are very kind, and offer excellent service.“

“The absolute best, Shauna is so sweet and personable. Been coming here for years! Even left the state for a year and she still remembered me after I came back. Also love the atmosphere and decorations. gladly would spend all my money here, her food so good and fresh! Every time i go i have the best experience 💓 10/10 would recommend to anyone!“

“Absolutely stellar experience at Kami Teriyaki! From the moment we stepped in, the aroma of delicious teriyaki greeted us warmly. The ambiance was inviting, and the service was impeccable. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and savory goodness. The teriyaki sauce was truly exceptional, elevating each bite to a culinary masterpiece. The portions were generous, ensuring we left satisfied yet already planning our next visit. Without a doubt, Kami Teriyaki has set the bar high for teriyaki cuisine in town. A definite five-star gem!“

“It was a cold and rainy day. After a couple of hours of looking at antiques we were hungry and damp. Ramen was the answer. We drove about 5 minutes up the hill to Niko.

Clean and tidy, and warm. The nice man took our order and delivered lunch to our table. My wife had the Wok Express, a huge platter of orange chicken, rice and salad. I had the ramen and it was delicious. We had a great lunch, and even took some home. I recommend this place.“

“Awesome food. Great service. Cant wait to go back“

“I come here fairly often, and today, as I ordered, I failed to communicate properly that I wanted tapioca pearls in my bubble tea; this is entirely on me, but the owner here was nice enough to fix it for me.

He pointed out the error, and was STILL kind enough to fix it for me with 0 extra charge. Thanks very much 🙏

This 5* review is the very least I can do.

Thank you!“

“Being going over there for a very long time
Best spicy terayaki chicken
Owner is remarkable, none mater how long I don’t call to order, still recognizes my voices
It’s the only places I buy my terayaki and yakisoba from“

“The best sushi around for sure, we like this place more than our SoCal sushi spots.“

“this place is awesome I am definitely no food connoisseur but when it comes in teriyaki, I am I’m probably tried every teriyaki place across the planet. Yes, please by far taste better than anybody’s. I always get the spicy meat with chicken with extra rice and since I had this one day I have been back every day almost for three months The spicy is not too hot and not too cold. You can actually eat it without burning your face off and the taste super awesome. Also, every time I call in my order it is always ready ahead of time. I called off work and about to get off the freeway, which is 10 minutes Away from them And it’s always ready and they always pack on extra meat the service the place is clean and the food is great 10 stars“

“Consistently delicious and tender beef teriyaki. Dinner portion was large and lasted two meals. I went for lunch today, and the lunch bento was perfect: three pan-fried gyoza with dumpling sauce, four pieces of a simple California roll, small salad with dressing, steamed rice, and a good size mound of beef.

They have chicken, pork, and beef options, as well as a short rib teriyaki (haven't tried it yet but if it's anything like the regular beef teriyaki, I'm sure it will be wonderful). My friend had chicken teriyaki when we went for dinner and it was juicy and not dry like some places I've been to.

This will be my go-to teriyaki place here!“

“Delicious and hits just the spot. Ive gotten takeout here before and they never fail to impress me with their portion sizes, but it is always worth it to dine in for the complimentary egg drop and miso soup! it is just the best part about this place!“

“My favorite teriyaki in the area. Great location. Great food. Great people working.“

“this place is really good I'm just a little disappointed with there spicy chicken and there yakisoba the noodles was under cooked but the flavor's and taste was all there just the noodles sad face what was most disappointing was there spicy chicken it was basically a normal teriyaki chicken and poured on hot sauce I was hoping that they would've cook spice's as they grilled it but other than those two items there teriyaki is really delicious“

“Love this place! Great food and great staffs. Personally it is the best teriyaki place near Seattle area! I couldn't take my food pictures because I finished it too fast... Definitely coming back when I am craving for teriyaki and katsu!“

“This is a small but very great place to have some authentic teriyaki style meal. This place reminds me of those small stores in Japan that just blow your mind. My wife and I love having their food. The lady upfront is always courteous and welcoming. Did I mention the teriyaki is next level? Because it is.“

“Lucky Teriyaki never disappoints! I have ordered from here countless times, and the food has always been amazing. I usually get the pork and beef combo. The meat is perfectly cooked, and the sauce is incredible. Their egg rolls are also fantastic! This is one of the best places I have ever eaten at.“

“Not your regular wok.Dang good food and service! It's like going home to eat. Everything is bomb but my go to's are Mongolian beef, gyoza and fried rice (with the gyoza sauce added).“

“Nice people. Food service. Ordered gyoza and kungpao chicken. What we got were gyoza that were less than a quarter filled and tasted like they came from the freezer section at the local Oriental store. The Kungpao chicken wasn't even prepared correctly kungpao is NOT fried chicken and even the photo online of the dish shows it made with fresh chicken not fried and it tastes like it had been sitting under heat lamps and when we ordered they figured toss it together with the sauce and all good. It was our first visit I will take the time to drive into Everett where I know of several that simply are souch better it is worth the drive 🤷‍♀️again nice folks.“

“Food is horrible. Beef Teriyaki was beef jerky smothered in sauce. ordered the pork Ramen, I got instant chicken Ramen with 3 small price of pork, They couldn't even read the package instructions correct. It was so bad. I ended up leaving with full bowls of food still on the table.“

“I absolutely love Cafe Bento! The food is amazing! They serve truly authentic Asian cuisine that tastes fresh and flavorful. The beef noodle is especially awesome, rich, comforting and full of flavor!

The service is just as great. The staff are all friendly and attentive, and Z stands out for being so welcoming and knowledgeable, their food recommendations are always spot on!

If you’re looking for delicious Asian food and warm, excellent service, Cafe Bento is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“Had the combination rice and my husband had the pork/ chicken teriyaki combo with veggies. Food was excellent. Cooked fresh. Had complimentary egg drop soup while waiting on our order. Portions are more than generous. With our two plates we had enough food for 4 people easily!“

“Great Ramen! Absolutely delicious! Wonderful servers also! Highly recommend!“

“Bless these hard working souls open till 11pm on NYE! 5 stars for that.

The food is what you'd expect at most teriyaki places. I will specifically sing praises for the amount and the cook on the veggies in the stir fry. And, don't sleep on the glass noodles! I'll get that side again for sure.“

“It is the best Asian food ever. The service phenomenal actually behind phenomenal. Every time we come to this restaurant doesn't matter how busy they are they always very friendly helpful and great. Cleaning is spectacular. They are even cleaning the chairs tables. Also if you look at the water glass no fingerprints. Shannon and Chris and everyone here they have a wonderful customer service. My family and I very amazed with their customer service.“

“We love Belt Sushi! When we want to sushi seriously, this is where we go. Go often enough, they remember what you like! Me, I tend to order 4-12 order of the sesame balls, split in an eat in order and a to go order. The sushi on the belt is always good and fresh. The strawberry sushi is fresh. Sweet. Refreshingly good. Fresh slivers of fish is your liking? They have that too Belt Sushi has a little of it all and the best. Go enjoy!!“

“Long ago there used to be a French bakery in the same location. They were amazing. Imagine my shock to see that is now a sushi place and that they had all you can eat! Dove right in. First of all the value is there if you want to eat a lot of sushi and don’t care if it is made correctly. However the calamari side was super burnt (over fried), the wasabi is not real, and there is more sugar added to things than should be. The sugar is why I don’t recommend. I am guessing that it is this way because it is in an area that can get away with it. At first I thought might be worth the drive. But when you also factor we were on a date and the lady got upset that we didn’t want to sit at the counter but a table. Then was super grumpy and rude to us the whole experience. Pretending as well at our table she didn’t speak English well, yet did fine elsewhere. I was tempted to tell her in Spanish her attitude was as awful as the calamari was over cooked. But decided she could continue thinking whites and Asians don’t speak Spanish. Chose to be the bigger person in the moment and regret it, so be prepared if you get a heavy set Mexican lady. Was not helpful with pretending not to speak English well when our first time there and wanted to verify how things worked. 36.95 per person + tip (which gave 24% because is not the chefs fault she was a pain). For the same cost the two of us could have eaten quality sushi and not just been full, but also have had a better experience. Overall I don’t recommend this place. Mill Creek has a better sushi place by far, without the all you can eat gimmick. If you go take note of the bottom of the menu. You will find rule about waste and being charged for it, as well as eat all rice. We had a couple rolls that the end pieces were missing much of any substance and were mostly rice. The wrapping on the rolls was pretty loose, meaning they were a pain to pickup with chopsticks and falling apart everywhere (however we went in the after dinner rush and could have just been tired so kept that in mind when calculating tip).“
