50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Mill Creek

“The G.O.A.T. of teriyaki in the greater Seattle area. No-nonsense menu. Meats are always tender and the sauce is so good, not sickeningly sweet like some other places I've tried. Chicken is obviously the classic choice but honestly I think the beef might be even better!
Takeout only.“

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

“I only enjoy "American style" sushi aka sushi that doesn't include raw fish so best that in mind.

All the rolls I've had are great here. They also have a modest sized menu for teriyaki that's pretty good as well, great for if you have family members or friends who don't like sushi.

Portions are BIG. The price is fair especially considering the portion size. They have reasonably nice staff and pretty fast service. I would definitely recommend it.“

“excellent food soo delicious 😋“

“Local teriyaki, easy to walk to and always has a friendly welcome when you walk in.

Parking: There's parking but because of a Tae Kwan Do place just a couple of doors down, you may have difficulty parking somewhat close because all the tae kwan do parents sitting in their cars and taking up "restaurant only" parking spots. But there is a lot of parking for the complex they are in, you might just need to walk 100-200 feet.“

“No button for amazing staff but they were absolutely wonderful! Gracious, patient, really fast service and everything was so delicious -- great sushi and the house sake is also very nice (I recommend hot, it was good)! Highly recommend, 5 stars!!!“

“Excellent service and excellent food.“

“tried this place out this week and was amazed how delicious it was. been going to teriyaki places for years and this one has easily some of the best quality meat and sauces out there. got the chicken and beef teriyaki combo and the beef was super tender and juicy, chicken was excellent as well! was sad to see that the place wasn't busier. Will definitely be going back!“

“I’ve dined in as well as ordered to go. Owners are very nice and staff are friendly. They have a small dine in area, although the food is best freshly prepared it is also delicious to go. Son loves their katsu and California roll. Wanted to dine in when I heard they now have jjamppong. Glad I did, noodles were cooked perfectly, slightly al dente. Broth had a roasted/charred undertone and was not very spicy. Squid was a tad over cooked, still good just chewy. Thin slices of beef also went well with the noodles and savory broth.“

“Super clean restaurant and quick service! Most important of all, the food is phenomenal! Single best katsu curry in Lynnwood.“

“This is my second time coming here. I will definitely come back again. I got the shrimp fried rice and the salmon lover’s roll. I have to say this is one of the best fried rice I’ve in a long time. Staff is very attentive and the restaurant has a great atmosphere“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The service was seamless—attentive without being intrusive, with every staff member radiating pride in what they do. The sushi? Impeccable. Each piece was a work of art—fresh, balanced, and masterfully crafted. The chef’s selection melted in our mouths, and the attention to detail was evident in every bite. From the ambiance to the presentation, everything reflected care, precision, and a love for the craft. They kept the sake flowing and the good times rolling. A truly memorable dining experience—we’ll be back without question. Umma will make sure you feel at home!“

“Ichi Bento consistently has the best Teriyaki in Seattle. Their chicken teriyaki always get a nice char on the outside that keeps it juicy and complements the sweetness and umami of their teriyaki sauce. They’ve been a part of the community for decades, and I hope they stay for many to come!“

“This has become our favorite teriyaki place. The location is clean and welcoming, the food is great quality and portions are very generous.
We love the whole set up, the soup every customer is entitled to when purchasing an entree is delicious!!!“

“A 5 star review of GO!! GO!! Teriyaki by Nancy W.:“

“Simple, delicious teriyaki at a great price. Can’t beat the chicken and gyoza special for a quick dinner. Wife and I tried it on a whim when we moved out to Woodinville. Won’t go anywhere else now. She LOVES the spicy ramen. Also the couple who run it are absolutely wonderful. Give them some buisness!“

“Service and food , perfect, and nice, she even brought us glasses of water . And I got my food to go but we decided to stay and eat it and she brought us two cups of water. It was amazing,
The food was perfect! the teriyaki sauce was absolutely perfect just what I wanted. You know how sometimes you'll eat something really good somewhere and you'll go other places trying to get the same thing and usually it's not right, this place was not that, it was perfect exactly how and what I wanted. I ve gone to a lot of different teriyaki places trying to find the teriyaki that's just right, how I remembered having it a long time ago I used to go to a place in Tacoma by the mall but hadn't found one here yet, but this place was just that and more. The teriyaki was perfect taste. And just a little crispy on the edge of the chicken. The restaurant was clean and nice. It was a good meal. And the lady was so kind and happy and tried to make sure everyone felt welcome and was happy .“

“I’m a foodie and am a fan of gourmet restaurants. Sakuma is one of the BEST Japanese restaurants I’ve been to-ever! I’ve lived in Japan before. Sakuma’s so good that it’s like being back in Japan. 👍🏼 Itadakimasu, Totemo Oishi!!!“

“Been going here since high school (2006) Owners are super friendly you can find them in the back cooking your food. I live further north now and anytime my family is in Lake City neighborhood we make an effort to stop and eat and say hi.

Food hasn't changed since 2006 and can always expect high quality.

Thank you so much for serving me all these years, sorry it's taken me forever to do a review.“

“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.“

“Best General Tso's and teriyaki (chicken and beef) I have ever had. I can't compare it to other PNW joints yet, but compared to all the ones I tried in SoCal and NY/NJ, Ohana blows them all out of the water. Even the steamed rice was perfect. Huge portions, one is enough for two or three people, we ended up taking them home and eating like kings the next day. We just moved and are considering making Ohana a weekly staple, it's just that good!!“

“Harbour Pointe is fortunate to have such an outstanding local eatery. Their bento boxes are solid and full of delicious sides, but the kimbap is as good as any in the Seattle/Bellevue area - generously filled with fresh ingredients at a great price.“

“Excellent customer service. Very professional and treated us like we belonged there. They showed appreciation for my sons birthday by bringing him ice-cream with a candle in it. Everyone in my family enjoyed the food. We will definitely be returning in the future. 💫💫💫💫💫 Five stars“

“This is the best place in the Area, always a great service and always best food, every time I got food from here is a great experience, I don’t really write reviews but it’s been a long time being a costumer and these place deserves the best… I’ll keep being a loyal costumer 🙌.

“Been coming here for years. Nice staff and good food.“

“It’s the best teriyaki I’ve ever had! Huge portions, great service!!! The noodles had perfect seasoning and texture—super satisfying—and the rolls were amazing. The teriyaki goes without saying, so I highly recommend trying it yourself!
100% coming back!“

“I ordered the beef teriyaki with extra meat, came out to about $36 which, before I GOT the food, felt like a lot. But when you see what you get it feels good. The food is excellent! The box couldn't stay closed on its own, they had to tape it shut. It fed me for two days. AWESOME. Gonna go back and get more tonight!“

“We were a party of 4 and went in around 6ish on a Saturday. We got a table immediately.
The courtesy of the staff does require a mention. Very friendly and checking with you on a timely basis.
These are the ones which we ordered -
Monkey brain - good
Gyoza - good
California roll - good
crispy firecracker roll - this was different, never seen one like this, definitely a must try
mango tango roll - was good too
katsu chicken bento - good
chicken karaage - nice and hot
If you ask if we would visit this place, the answer is a Yes. Ambience was good and didnt have difficulty finding a parking spot.“

“Food is always delicious, I highly recommend y’all try the spicy chicken teriyaki it’s my favorite here. Service is always exceptional, the people here are always nice and friendly. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. Which is something I can’t say about other places in the area.“

“I really enjoyed the chicken fried rice here! It has a smoky flavor that makes it stand out, and the portions are generous. I also appreciated that they offer free refills and provide a self-service setup for sauces, including salad dressing and spicy options. It’s a convenient spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“The food is amazing here and so is the service.“

“Pardon the fork but I was too busy devouring my food To take a good photo of my AMAZING TAKOYAKI. such a crisp crunchy outer shell with near molten obviously freshly made on order center. The sauce was BEAUTIFULLY done on it too and my sushi was just amazing. Went with my sister and mother and we ended up so happy with it. It was a surprise visit too because originally we were headed elsewhere nearby and ended up here. I am SO GLAD WE DID. THANK YOU TOKYO HOUSE you guys had amazing food and I plan to come back again someday soon! I also saw you have door dash capability so you may see my name pop up soon!!!“

“Toyota Sushi is a gem in our community! As a family-owned business, they truly go above and beyond to make every visit special. Their food is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted dishes that never disappoint. The service is top-notch—always accommodating, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I've been a loyal customer for a while now, and I can confidently say I've never had a less-than-excellent experience here. If you're looking for a sushi spot that combines great food with warm, personalized service, Toyota Sushi is the place to go. Highly recommended! Five stars all the way. Ps. We love our Tia Helen ❤️“

“so yummy Japenese food and fresh dishes😘😋😍“

“The Korean fried chicken was sooo good. The portion size was amazing, we shared the bento box #2 Gold Korean fried chicken and between the two of us we still had plenty of leftovers.

The potstickers, fried shrimp, fried potatoes were really good as well. New favorite spot.“

“This place was recommended by our neighbor. The price was $2 more than the average price we usually get. The salad was good and crisp with cabbage. The dressing was thick and not watered down like other places. Almost too thick though. The chicken Teriyaki was good flavor but dry. It was OK.“

“I have been coming to Ichiban Teriyaki for many years. Love the flavor of the meats they have. Not just a chicken breast on a grille. They show it some love :)

Parking: Plenty of parking available - Even if you drive a motorhome“

“Expensive but big portions and VERY delicious 😋
Me and a big group of friends came in for some food and they hosted us very nicely. All the food looks delicious!!! But i personally ordered the chicken katsu for $21- it has a salad, 10 pieces of crispy chicken, and a side of white rice, and a miso soup to start the course. It was a bit expensive already and then it got worse... because they have these service fees, so it ended up being $25.90🤑 so that was something... Besides that excellent place to eat food wise.“

“Love this place and the family that owns it are very kind. This is the only teriyaki restaurant I go to in town. Hot, delicious food and large servings dine-in and for take-out. Very quick service made fresh by nice people.

Parking: Easy to find and lots of parking“

“I have been coming to this place for at least 10 years, I have their number saved in my contacts and pickup food at least a few times a month. I can’t recommend this place enough, they serve large portions (easily two meals in one) & for a great price and they offer boba drinks! They never charges extra for extra sauces either! 10/10! usually not too busy/full inside since people pickup food more than anything now everywhere after Covid, so the atmosphere is quiet, but would recommend for friends and the whole family.“

“Standard bento style fare served with a smile in a small strip mall area. You can get free.miso soup at the counter, which is a nice touch when eating in. The food is good, plenty of seating, but parking can sometimes be a bit scarce during peak times.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.“

“Love the food, especially the combos! I love teriyaki as a whole, but this place really does it right.“

“Surprisingly good teriyaki! Clean, well-ordered, and they have a cool little watch & jewelry shop within.A small suggestion: putting the salad in a spinner would take excess water away and the dressing (very good btw) would taste better!“

“5 Corners teriyaki has been one of me and my family’s places to eat. (Until recently) we bought some teriyaki on New Year’s Eve and the transaction still went through. It was 50 dollars worth of food so you think they would refund it, right? Nope the 50 dollar refund wasn’t possible because the guy working there didn’t understand what we were talking about.“

“I was pleasantly surprised - extremely homey, tastes like home-cooked Japanese food! What an unassuming little spot!

My partner and I had the Oyakodonburi, Katsu Curry, salmon cucumber avocado roll, and a side of tempura.

The portions are big! The Oyakodonburi was the star of the show - usually I don't like oyakodon because it's very easy to do wrong; too slimy and too saucy, but theirs was just perfect!!

This is gonna be a top lunch spot for me for sure!“

“So delicious! I love that the teriyaki sauce is secret homemade sauce AND available for purchase!!!!!! The portions are generous and the place is clean and always smells amazing!!!!! The waiter always changes the tv so my boys can watch kid appropriate shows!“

“Looking for a easy and delicious food! I need to order in Uber eats and get the food. When I got it I tried the Super bento (sweet and sour chicken, chicken yakisoba with 4 gyoza, 2 spring rolls, rice and salad). They have free water and tea too! I never always try the sweet and sour and I love it! Just remember you can ask for Chopstick if you want because if you leave you don’t have it haha. Worth it!“

“We love this place. The owners are super personable and so kind to my daughter. We love coming here. My personal favorite is the K-Bowl because its healthy and has a ton of food in it! Their chicken teriyaki is also delicious!

Kid-friendliness: The owner is always so kind to my daughter and knows us both by name!“

“Got takeout from big fish sushi tonight, hubs made a mistake ordering hand rolls instead of maki and they remade them for free. Super nice even though it was totally our fault. They also have a great bento box for kids, katsu,rice,California roll and edamame for $9 for kids. They have enough for 2-3 meals. Everything was delicious we will definitely be ordering again soon“

“This is the best teriyaki I've had in the area! Me and my boyfriend are always on the look out for a new teriyaki place and everytime we always conclude that we wish we would've just come here instead! It's always delicious and the portion sizes are great for the price as well:) food is always hot, tasty, and just perfect!!! The drive through is super convenient and the staff is always amazing as well!“
