Portions are generous, sauces are on point, and everything tastes made with care. The owner is incredibly friendly and always makes you feel welcome, which keeps me coming back. 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.“

“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“

“Amazing! The best ramen soup I've ever had!! I was craving some soup on this chilly day and didn't want store bought so looked around on Google maps. Had to try here since they had ramen. The lady at the counter is so sweet and friendly and the ramen was top notch! I got the egg ramen regular, no spicy. So much good stuff in it including potstickers what!?! I'll definitely be back. Exactly what I needed thank you so much.“

“Ate here before work, i use to come here with my dad as a kid before work and brings back nostalgia. Best karaage curry reminds me of when i was in Japan. If you love Aiyashi in lynnwood this is close to home without the travel, check them out i love takoyaki ✌️✌️✌️“

“Despite food being decent I will never give this place another dime. Owner acts inconvenienced by the business. Called to order food first thing he says is “How long will you be? How far away are you?” No greeting, no hello. Confused thinking he might be speaking to someone else I replied, “Pardon?” He comes back with “we close in 20 minutes I don’t want to wait around forever!” I told him not to worry about it and I would be sure not to bother him with my business in the future.

Appreciate owner apologizing“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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’ve never had chicken teriyaki this delicious in Seattle.!!!

It has a nice smoky flavor, and the sauce is absolutely amazing.
It’s the kind of taste that makes you crave it again after just one bite, so I wanted to share and leave a review.

Highly recommended! 👍🏼😍👍🏼“

“The food is delicious and the portions are huge. It’s easily one of the best teriyaki spots I've found. If you’re looking for a great meal and generous servings, this is the place to go! Pay no attention to Bill and Robyn's reviews they can't seem to get their timelines correct 😂“

“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!“

“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).“

“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!“

“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!“

“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).“
