“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 was actually headed to another place to eat when I saw Jackpot and decided to try it out. I ordered the chicken yakisoba and I was very impressed with the flavor and everything was cooked to perfection. My taste buds definitely perked up and highly recommend trying them out. Staff is very entertaining too.“

“Food was excellent made with care and fresh vegetables not from frozen. Service was great very kind caring woman. I will def be coming back and telling friends. Restaurant was very clean and nice. You can tell they care about the food they make here.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“My family eats at KYO often. We usually get the chicken/beef combo, orange chicken, egg rolls, gyoza or occasionally we try something new. The staff here has never been anything but extremely friendly and sweet. My orders are usually ready within 15 minutes and we have always enjoyed everything we've gotten.“

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

“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!“

“I was having a bad day, and this food definitely was the highlight that made things better.

Their food is made with love. It's not only delicious, but with their curry I felt like homemade, with veggies (that we really love).

We also ordered a chicken udon yakissoba, that my kid loved!

Highlight for the Katsu bento, sushi was sooo fresh and the dumplings and shrimp also great!

Can't wait to come back.

I can't wait to come back.“

“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.“

“It’s easy to drive past this place because it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but I’m so glad we stopped. We ordered the chicken & beef teriyaki, egg rolls, and crab wontons, and everything was delicious.

What really stood out, though, was the kindness and service. You order at an outdoor counter similar to Dick’s and wait nearby for your food. I recently injured my knee and was struggling to stand, even with crutches, so I went back to sit in the car while we waited. The woman working there noticed my brace and crutches earlier and had already been checking in on how I was doing. She was genuinely caring, kind, and easy to talk to.

Without us even asking, she made a special trip to bring the food out to the car for me. It may seem like a small gesture, but it meant a lot to me. In a world where so many interactions feel rushed or impersonal, this felt warm and human. Good food and even better people. We’ll absolutely be back.

I didn't get pictures of our food, but here are pictures of their menu.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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.“

“This place was such a great experience from start to finish. Everything we ordered tasted fresh, comforting and really well made. The teriyaki was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the crunch california rolls were fresh and crunchy! and the house fried rice tied everything together so well. We also tried the garlic shrimp skewers from their newer menu items, and they were honestly a stand out! so flavorful and cooked just right! You can really tell there is a lot of love and care put into both the food and the overall experience from the owners and everyone who works here. The service was warm and welcoming, and the whole place had that inviting, local feel that makes you want to come back every time :)“

“Another great teriyaki place. The beef was good and the chicken was better. Good portions and food was ready quick. Parking was ok but if you are coming from the wrong side of the road it can be tricky locate an entrance. Looks like a safe place as there were no signs of monster tracks or night walkers.“

“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!“

“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).“
