36 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lake Stevens

“Great cocktails and very very good sushi. Presentation is beautiful and it’s a very inviting atmosphere with friendly service. We are so glad we decided to try it out. Highly recommend.“

“Midori Teriyaki
Consistent and reliable spot for teriyaki in Lake Stevens. Portions are solid, the food is fresh, and the flavors are always on point. The chicken and salmon teriyaki are favorites, and the sushi rolls are a nice bonus. Easy go-to for a quick, casual meal.“

“Several visits, zero dissatisfaction. Made to order, F’ing delicious, and considering the quality… well priced. These people have taken Katsu to another level. Go here. Do it, do it now.“

“They have a drive thru. That is nice to see. I didn't use it this time as it was my first time here. The food came quickly. The chicken was overall good. The beef was not so great though. The service was okay. I felt very rushed even though I was the only person in the building and nobody was in the drive thru. I didn't know the menu so I had to look for a little bit as I was ordering different things I saw. At some point I asked about pictures of an item I saw but couldn't find the price for. That was when it felt like my taking my time was an issue. I was quickly met with no price then we don't have it. I confirmed by reiterating. I was told Yes. Are you done? Would you like anything else? I said no. Paid for my food. Waited less than 10 minutes and left.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Food was delicious and of good quality, portion size was smaller then I'm used to but that was probably to off set the cost of a quality product. The price was very affordable. Under 20 per person, we got two chicken and gyoza combos and two drinks. The service was friendly and welcoming. The sheer number of live plants was stunning and they were well taken care of, which leads me to believe they keep the kitchen well maintained too.“

“Pretty darn good place
I personally didnt like what i ordered,
(The bulgolgi bowl)
But other than that it was a nice atmosphere
The portions were quite large
The food did taste good
The meat was a tad under seasoned
The servers were really nice and friendly
Didn't wait too long for food
And from what i remember it was reasonably priced
But still
Overal 4.5/5 stars
Might go again if im in the area“

“The food tastes great. I’m no food snob and easy to please. I enjoy all of their food so far. The only one thing I will complain about is their spice level. I’m big on spicy food. I ordered 5 star spice, but it did not have much of a kick. Even my wife, that can’t handle spicy, thought it was more sweet than spicy. The flavor was great, but it would have been greater if the heat was there! Overall, food was delicious.“

“Food and service is great!“

“I would come here all the time as a kid and I am so grateful that they haven't changed a thing. The food is always amazing. I don't live in Washington anymore and every single visit I will make the time to come to this location and support their business.“

“Nicely decorated fun place, good service. AMAZING spicy chicken teriyaki! They also have brown rice as an option which I appreciate very much. I am looking forward to trying more of the menu options, especially the Korean dishes... But the teriyaki is so great, I haven't been able to bring myself to order anything else (yet). The owners clearly care about providing high quality consistent and TASTY food!“

“This was my first time eating at this teriyaki shop, and it was so good. They had free teriyaki sauce for my chicken, and it was the best ever. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10, and it was almost as good as another teriyaki shop that I have been to before. I would eat here again.“

“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!“

“Wow, wow, wow. Why are we not talking about this magical teriyaki place more? The in-dining experience has complimentary egg drop soup or Miso! Filtered water, tea if you choose.

Then the portions? Awesome.
The flavor? Top tier!
Service? Fast and friendly!“

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

“The service is usually pretty quick, but it's often busy here. The food is not only very good, but they give you some of the larger portions I've seen for a teriyaki place. Honestly, this is my go to for teriyaki around Snohomish county, I'm yet to find another locally that matches up.“

“I'll tell you what; I wish every teriyaki place was like this one. Went in there, it was nice and clean. Next, was greeted with quick and super friendly service. Then I was offered free self-service water and hot tea which was a nice touch. The meal was fantastic, two amazing ice cream scoops of rice, salad was excellent (not too sweet), and the chicken was perfectly charred but not dried out. This will be my number one place to go from now on. I am so looking forward to trying other items on their menu.“

“Wonderful sushi.This is probably the best sushi in Marysville and is the only grocery store sushi I've had that can stand up to restaurant sushi. It is really unfortunate that another reviewer rated this one star for being called a Japanese deli, which is not even totally inaccurate. This place deserves 5 stars.“

“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).“

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

“Had dinner here and it was excellent. The service was great. The person at the counter was very friendly. The price was average for right now. The food was really good. We got chicken and gyoza and the chicken breast meal. It tasted great! We will be back.“

“Ok friends this is one of the last restaurants that hasn't tried the shrinkflation scam on us. My husband is a thin guy with a big appetite, so we cannot afford to eat out often anymore because we usually have to order 2 orders, yes 2 orders To fill him up! But not here. Their food is made to order, good quality and you get enough to feed a full grown man for the price you pay. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place! I particularly love the teriyaki and the katsu chicken. I always end up upgrading my rice to their fried rice. I don't get teriyaki very often, but when I do I always choose this restaurant. The chicken is always deliciously grilled and tender, and I like their sauce more than the other places I've tried. The owner is also very kind and welcoming- mom and pop shops like this one are my favorite!“

“Relaxing place. I love their beef. Good portion. It tasted like the Japanese restaurant I used to go in other state. So far so good. 9/10 - only I notice with Japanese restaurants here in WA, their salad sauces are mostly sweet. I prefer sour to balance the flavor.“

“I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki level 5 spice and let me tell you… best I’ve ever had 🔥 I’ve tried many dishes level 5 spice and they always disappoint. This spot is hands down the best in the area!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Staff is very friendly. The beef noodle soup is surprisingly good. I like noodles with a firmer texture, and this one really hit the spot. The teriyaki chicken is light and flavorful. I really appreciate them not overdoing the seasoning. There is a good amount of beef in the noodle soup, but the overall portion is a bit small for mall food.“

“Absolutely amazing and delicious. Im from Idaho and we do not have good teriyaki. So this was quite the treat. I got the katsu chicken, it was a moud of food for the price!
You won't go hungry. The employee that was working the front was so nice and friendly. Got me all the katsu sauce I needed!“

“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).“
