50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Mill Creek

“My grandfather introduced me to Toshi's teriyaki back in the early 90s. After 3 decades of trying other teriyaki spots throughout this state, I have yet to find a better one. This is a real gem of the great northwest. thank you Toshi“

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

“I have been coming to gget sushi rolls at this place for years and they have never failed to impress me with how delicous every roll ive tried has been! Their sushi has fresh ingridents and somehow from this specific place it is the perfect comfort food, leaving you feeling warm and satisfied after a few sushi rolls.“

“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.“

“Today we ordered the Mongolian beef with white rice and the General Tso’s chicken with fried rice. I’m not going to lie — this is the best Chinese food I’ve had in Mill Creek. Both the beef and chicken were fresh, and the sauces were absolutely delicious. Thank you!“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“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 ❤️“

“Manna has the best Teriyaki and Korean in town, maybe even the whole Puget sound region!

Manna is family owned, run and operated, and they genuinely care about the quality of their food and the happiness of their customers. This place is a gem of the Seattle area and I hope they can continue serving great food and service for years to come.“

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

“We visited this sushi place from Vancouver because we heard so many good things about it and it did NOT disappoint!! The owner is so kind and welcoming, and the fish is fresh even compared with the best Vancouver places. Get their special rolls!“

“Update Jan 2026*** I didn't know Teriyaki Bowl could get even better than it already is but now they offer the best crab rangoons and sweet and sour dipping sauce! I have tried so many dissapointing rangoons/sauces in WA but finally Teriyaki Bowl for the win! Thank you! Not sure if they are offered online but definitely in store.

OG Post - Delicious food, clean and cute environment, large portions, and very friendly service! We tried the fried gyozo, chicken teriyaki, and general tso chicken (pictured) and everything was amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly for both and the sauces were delicious! The general tso was one of the best I have had in a long time. Saucy, crispy, no dry or chewy pieces, all just juicy yummy crispy chicken. I enjoyed all the added veggies too! The salad looked and tasted so fresh with a tasty dressing. I love that you can buy bottles of their homemade sauces. If you eat inside, the presentation of the food is really nice. I can't wait to try more items from the menu. We will definitely be coming back!“

“The food was very good, well portioned, and full of flavor. The ingredients were fresh and everything was cooked just right.

The owners are very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

Prices are fair for the quality offered. I definitely recommend it and would come back again.“

“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.“

“I love this place. I stopped randomly on my way north as I was looking for a place to charge my EV. I plugged in at the Safeway across the street and walked over. The food is comforting, fresh, and relatively inexpensive. The folks at the counter were kind and all business— efficient with a smile.

I’ve been back two more times and I have loved sitting in the back corner booth watching regulars dine in or take out.“

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

“Absolutely phenomenal food and customer service is impeccable every single time. They pack your food so nicely and always punch a hole in the takeout boxes so your food doesn't get all condensationey and gross! Love this place so much.“

“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!!!“

“we order from them on Uber Eats delivery a lot and it’s always great quality! They forgot a bag of ours and one of the workers personally drove it out to us with complimentary soda. Amazing service. This will be our #1 teriyaki spot from now on.“

“I've eaten here numerous times, ordering various dishes from this restaurant and they cease to amaze me with their friendly staff, fast service, big portions (especially for the price), and amazing quality. I'm always greeted with a friendly smile from the employees and the food always comes out fast and fresh! It has great options for vegetarians as well. They have many substitutions and upgrades to the food for amazing prices. This place is great for solo lunches, quick family dinner, and just grabbing bite with a friend!“

“The food is tasty, especially for the large portions you get. I really like all the kimbap they have (especially the triangle tuna kimbap). It was properly seasoned with a good kick to it! This place deserves to be a lot more busier than it typically is.“

“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!“

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

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

“Friends recommend this place to me. I wasn’t disappointed.
It started with friendly service. Wait time after ordering was not super fast, but reasonable. They offer self serve hot soup, also free soda or bottled water with each meal order.
My plate came with good presentation and nice portion size. I like their teriyaki which was slightly sweet (most other places are far too sweet).
I would recommend if they can tune down the use of starch in the soup, and a bit less salty. I also prefer if they provide full size forks/spoons instead of mini sizes.“

“I’ve been coming to Nasai Teriyaki for just over 10 years for my Teriyaki fix, and they’re consistently the best around. It’s actually hard for me to eat teriyaki elsewhere because Nasai is just that good. Things are made to order (and they ask me for level of spice!), and the resulting flavor is perfectly charred and absolutely delicious.

I always get the spicy chicken & gyoza combo, but also love their chicken yakisoba. My household will always go out of our way to eat here when we have a teriyaki craving!

Easy strip mall location with a parking lot, and the folks running this small business are so kind and hardworking. I hope to continue to visit for many more years!“

“I ordered a few bento boxes to go for a quick meal before the sportsman show.

I ordered three chicken teriyaki bento boxes, the bento boxes came with teriyaki chicken, rice, a California roll, potsticker , egg roll, shrimp tempura and a salad. Plenty of food for the price and for one person. The bento box could have fed two people.

I love the salad, I love the dressing . It’s a sweet sauce. The chicken teriyaki was a little too sweet but still delicious. I loved the shrimp tempura and the sauce that came with it. It was nice to have a basic California roll since we typically don’t ever order that from a sushi restaurant. The egg roll was okay, it was a veggie egg roll, but still good .

We really enjoyed the whole bento.“

“So glad this place got new ownership. If you have not tried this place do it. I got the Beef Yakisoba and minus the green peppers and zucchini Soooo Good. Portion was big and worth the price. Meat delicious, flavor delicious and will definitely be coming back.“

“1st time I experienced this place. OMG .we already fallen love with thir food and service 😍 meal we pay is worthier than expected. Kind and friendly service also attracts the people. What ever pictures you see in this website is really true. Once you step in you'll understand and experienced what I'm saying. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I hope they'll never stop this service forever. Thank you 🙏“

“This food is just delicious. We come from another town because this is our favorite Teriyaki. I think It’s a young sweet couple who bought it from the previous owners and I think they made the food even better — and already it was good food before that. The beef w broccoli has nice chunks of meat that have crisp edges and fresh florets. The spicy chicken w 2 stars if heat is our other favorite.“

“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 place is AH-mazing! The food is ***chef’s kiss***. We ate the calamari, miso soup, spicy scallop roll, black dragon roll, negi hamachi, and baja roll. Our favorites are the black dragon and negi hamachi. We will be back the next time we are in Everett!“

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

“I’ve been coming here since I was in middle school. It was always our favorite teriyaki spot in Seattle because the family that first opened it was so friendly, and the food was always delicious.

I’ve seen it change ownership probably 3 times. The quality has gone up and down. Overall, it’s probably not as good as it used to be, but it’s still one of the better Seattle teriyaki shops.

Giving it a high rating in hopes that it remains in operation, and to hopefully motivate the owners to keep up the good work!“

“Just moved to the area from Bellevue, I've eaten at over 30 teriyaki places across the east side and Seattle. This place is insanely good and a crazy good value. Got the spicy chicken and a chicken katasu. Blown away at how well prepared the food was.

Friendly, fast service.

I will be coming back again and again to try everything on the menu.“

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

“Stopped in at this teriyaki shop for a quick bite while I was having a tire repaired at the shop nearby. I ordered a chicken teriyaki with a side of gyoza. The food was excellent, the chicken was tender with nice looking char lines from the grill. The gyoza was just the way I like it with the outside crispy and the inside juicy. The restaurant had condiments on the table including teriyaki sauce which I always appreciate. Overall great experience!“

“Yumiko Teriyaki is my go-to teriyaki spot in Lake Stevens. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and served fast — exactly what you want from a solid local spot. 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.“

“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!“

“A diamond in the rough! Great food and the owner is friendly and personable. I will return. I had the chicken teriyaki and there was plenty of food as I was very hungry after a long morning of doing chores and yard work.“

“This was a good place to eat. Though not the best it was better than others and I would definitely stop again if in the neighborhood. Good portions and nice teriyaki flavor. Would like to explore menu deeper. There does appear to be some goblin activity near by but they don't seen to come out in the daytime.“

“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.“

“Screw all the bad reviews, they don’t have taste buds. Good restaurant, consistent quality, not over-greased or skimpy with their portions! Which is a rarity nowadays.. the cost of goods has incentivized most restaurants to portion control down to the penny, so it’s good to experience one that isn’t about all that.

It ain’t dumb cheap, but it’s once again met with decent portions. Been eating here well over five years👌“

“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“

“Great place to go for ramen and sushi when you're nearby! The staff were friendly and timely with service and we enjoyed our food very much. We enjoyed the atmosphere inside as it was a cozy, amber-lit interior with wide and tall windows to the outside parking lot and street with good views of the weather. There was a clean restroom the tables and seats were upkept. Will be coming back! <3“

“My wife and I were seeking a lunch destination in Everett, and she specifically searched for a nearby teriyaki restaurant. She utilized Google to find a teriyaki establishment with a seating area and high-quality food ratings. Tokyo Teriyaki restaurant appeared on her search results. We visited Tokyo Teriyaki
to dine and spend quality time together. The restaurant was clean, friendly, and efficient in taking our order. We both opted for teriyaki chicken meals and beverages. The food was exquisite and well-presented. The chicken was moist and tender, accompanied by a salad and dressing that greatly enhanced its flavor. My wife was able to take home half of her meal, as she was satisfied with eating half of it. She enjoyed the remainder for dinner. I savored my entire meal and was satiated, eliminating the need for my wife to cook that evening. I highly recommend trying this restaurant in downtown Everett to support local businesses in our community.“

“I order to go from here a few times a month, my husband loves the spicy chicken teriyaki. Super friendly and the food never disappoints.“

“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!“
