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.“

“Such a awesome sushi Restaurant!! Been coming here many times. They actually have everything here for reals!! Such a great place to come with your friends and family. Amazing Sushi with great service and ambience. There Dine in and Take out is amazing. Sunrise roll and Asian fusion roll a must have. The Happy Hour is amazing many sushi rolls to choose from at a great price. Also has the Late Night Happy Hour that runs from 8:30pm till 10pm and 10:30pm on weekends. The lounge bar is so cool where I can play games. Watch Sports and get my sushi and drink on. Must check out the Japanese Life Size Robot Figures! So awesome to look at in person. This is the place to go where you get a great experience. And it's a well put together sushi place.“

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

“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!“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food here is absolutely amazing! I seriously did not know it was possible to sell such generous portions of fresh sushi at this price. My big back friend and I (also a big back) shared a family combo that was only $69 after tax that had 4 gigantic rolls and a boat-load of karaage. We weren't able to finish and had enough leftover for another meal. On top of all that, the service is super friendly and the atmosphere is nice and cozy. The staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and more. I'm a self-certified sushi connoisseur and I can confidently say this is the best value sushi I've ever had by far. The salmon nigiri especially was super fresh and had blanket-sized slices of salmon. This is 100% a must-try restaurant.“

“Every time we go to Ichi Bento, we always notice how nice and welcoming the staff is. The bentos are such a good deal, you get a lot of tasty food for the price. It’s one of our go-to spots, especially since it’s hard to find affordable, delicious eats in Seattle.“

“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!!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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 .“

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

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

“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!!“

“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 🙌.

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“Good friendly service. Good flavorful food. Good portions.
Plus all other free amenities like this delicious free Miso soup, clean cold water, free hot tea. ( Self serve)
Reasonable prices. Clean atmosphere. Convenient location. Lots of parking“

“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.“

“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“

“The food quality is not as good as it used to be. The sushi rice fell apart to the touch. Other foods were good. It was very busy with people waiting for seats to open. We felt uncomfortable to order dessert with people eying or table. Maybe the large number of costumers makes it difficult to maintain the quality of sushi...“

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

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

“Classic greater-Seattle area teriyaki place.
The portion size is on par with most places roughly three thighs two mounds of rice and a little iceberg lettuce salad.
The chicken was very lightly marinated, but fresh and chargrilled to a perfect juiciness.
A light sauce that hits the salty sweet balance of a teriyaki sauce, not thick or gloppy.
The gyoza are crisp and filled adequately no surprises there.
The menu is simple in comparison to most teriyaki places that have a wide range of other Asian fare, this was more straightforward.
Overall, a solid teriyaki joint and worth checking out.“

“The lovely woman at the front was so nice and welcoming. She had a big beautiful smile, and I immediately felt good coming in and trying this for the first time 🤗 I love how my food is hot, absolutely delicious and thoughtfully prepared — even when I’m eating on the run in my car! I don’t like sitting and eating by myself so when I’m on the run I like to get it to go and eat in my car. It makes such a difference to enjoy a meal that’s not only delicious but also easy to eat without making a mess. I really appreciate the care that goes into every detail. Thank you!🙏

💯percent recommend Tokyo Teriyaki 😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“I'm from Canada and was visiting Seattle when I came across this place. I ordered the spicy chicken, katsu, and beef — all of them were really good, but the chicken teriyaki stood out as my favorite. The flavor was incredible! The owners said they were from Japan, and you can truly taste the authenticity in every bite. It honestly felt like real Japanese home cooking. I’d come back to Seattle just for this food!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“This place is amazing!!!!!
I have lived here in Everett for 2 years and this is one of the very few locations that I can truly say have delicious food. I come from Az and I’m used to authentic food granite not every place in Phoenix is authentic but I’m a native to Az and I know where to go to get good food. I hope my review helps you to try it, it’s worth it 👍“
