50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Mill Creek

“Heard the original owner cooks the food here. Tried it, not sure if the original teriyaki chicken was better than other Toshi's, but I was hungry and it tasted really good. The chicken was not dry and the sauce had a hint of sweetness, not overtly sweet like most places. Would go again if I happen to be in the area.“

“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 😋“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“The portions and quality are 👍🏽. Very delicious! We had chicken teriyaki/orange chicken and the bento katsu. Both highly recommended. The bento had a great variety (katsu, rice, tempura, gyoza, egg roll) and side salad. Will come back again!“

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

“This is easily some of the best Asian food I've ever had!!!We got the teriyaki chicken, orange chicken and the honey Korean fried chicken and 2 sushi rolls. The portions where amazing for the price and all the chicken was super tender. The staff were super nice and they Evan gave us a stir-fried vegetables on the house. Plus the atmosphere of the place was great. This is easily a 5/5“

“There is a reason this is the highest rated Teriyaki restaurant in Woodinville. The presentation is perfect, the flavors are wonderful, the serving temperature was spot on. This is now my new go-to for PERFECT teriyaki. I highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“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 🙌.

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 ❤️“

“Chicken katsu: Yes
Chicken teriyaki: Yes
Sweet and sour chicken: Yes
House fried rice: YES

This one time I brought their house fried rice to a family party but I guess 3 other people had the same idea to bring fried rice so we had 4 different fried rice. My contribution had no leftovers. Everyone else's fried rice was put to shame and embarrassment.“

“We really enjoy this place. Great portions with quality taste for the same standard price after tax you’ll find at most places in this area. You can see in the picture on the (left plate) chicken and pork that they give you the same amount of chicken as if you order just the chicken teriyaki as the (right plate) most places skimp on portions of combos. I moved the chicken so you could see the fried rice. Looks beautiful full of everything and tastes very good. I also ordered a side of steamed veggies which for my preference could have been cooked a bit longer but I’m happy with the amount of variety of veggies.“

“Consistently a very delicious restaurant. The food usually takes about 15-20 minutes to be done, so we always call beforehand to take home and eat. The portion sizes are very big! The quantity and quality of their food makes this place a favorite for us. They are also closed on Sundays.“

“I’ve been here twice now and the visits were within two weeks of one another because I was craving their yakisoba again.

Their teriyaki chicken and spicy teriyaki chicken were delicious (but I would go to Ta Joia down the road if I only wanted that), but their yakisoba was the best I’ve had in years. Generous portion plus it has wonderful wok hei that gives it a delicious smoky and charred flavor. My only complaint is I ordered the combination yakisoba the second time which was supposed to be chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp…and it had a single shrimp in it and the pork wasn’t my favorite. The beef teriyaki is the way to go!“

“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!“

“Best teriyaki place in town! No idea why it’s not 4.5+ stars. The food is delicious and consistently good. They’ve never ever messed up our order, which happens almost every time at other takeout places. Staff is kind and helpful. Our kids always love the gyoza and I think the spicy chicken is amazing. Just the right amount of spice.“

“Was looking for a quick bite before heading to the bar nearby and was very pleasantly surprised to find this hole in the wall teriyaki spot. The whole restaurant looks clean and the food smelled appetizing the second you walk in. The staff is friendly and patient. Today I ordered the Ichi Chicken Bento Meal and for $18 you get Gyoza, California rolls, A good serving of teriyaki chicken , white rice and a salad. Very filling and hit the spot. They offer a whole range of options and their soups are offered at a great price which is perfect for the cold weather in Washington . Would definitely come here again.“

“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“

“This is a nice little neighborhood spot, service was a little slow as they only had one server and I believe one cook short staff. The food was great and I was excited they had the fish red bean dessert as I haven’t had that since we lived in Japan many years ago as a kid!! They didn’t have nato my dad’s favorite and no potatoes in the chicken curry. They forgot my dad’s miso soup she didn’t know if she brought it out or not. They definitely need a little more help so if you know anyone looking for a job they should apply.“

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

“Having been to this restaurant several times now, I can say for sure this will be my go-to place in the area for anything teriyaki. If you walk in or order for delivery, the food is never cold and always tastes great! Would recommend the Korean Fried Chicken Box or the Chicken Katsu Box.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food was great and so was the service. One ordered spicy and warning it is VERY spicy. One did a build your own, and the portions were good. Did the soy sauce based broth with tofu and was good, but I wish they had the seasonings to make spicier. Probably just needed to ask but didn't think of it till later. Was very good, but I'm looking forward to trying different combinations. Had a side. I can't remember the name of it, but it was like a seafood dimsum, and it melted in your mouth. Didn't try tea, will next time. I liked it. And they have lunch and dinner specials.“

“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!“

“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“

“Excellent all around. Ordered the Nigiri and Sashimi Bento Box. My first time having both kinds! I’ve only had rolls. You really can taste the unique flavor of each fish when it is naked like that. My server’s recommendation of Spicy Tuna roll was a good one. I can’t handle too spicy, and the rolls were hardly the same caliber of spice as wasabi, which I can handle in small doses. Perfect amount, imo, so that you can still taste everything and aren’t looking for a bathtub to stick your head in to put the fire out. I’ve been here before, and this just solidified my desire to return.“

“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“

“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!“

“If you like teriyaki, this is great!

I've never really been a fan of teriyaki historically just as a matter of preference, but I've also never sought it out where it is known to be excellent, such as in Seattle.
I can say this is the highest quality teriyaki I have had thus far and was well worth it, although it's still not shifting my general preference.

I'll have to have some in Japan, LA, and Hawaii before I rest my final judgment on teriyaki as a whole.“

“This is my favorite teriyaki joint whenever I have to come to Everett for work. It opens early so I can eat when I need to since my day usually starts at 5 am when I am out here.

The food is great and the service is top notch.“
