“The workers greeted us very warmly & they were all working hard & skillfully like a well oiled machine...you could tell the servers & sushi chefs were well seasoned. It was a very warm day and we were seated by the front windows, which even with the thick curtains, was still acting like a radiant heated wall! Not a big deal for me as I run cold, but if you are a hot person...this might have bothered you. I was actually wearing a tank top so I was perfect...it was double date night. The fish on sushi & sashimi platters was buttery & fresh. Lots of roll varieties too just how I like it. We started with some appetizers, nice sized shareable portions of tempura calamari & chicken karage. We also ordered agedashi tofu & veggie & shrimp temp, perfect portion sizes for a party of 4 for appetizers. No one ordered any entrees or bentos...although they look really good, we stuck to sushi. They give you a sushi list and a pen and you mark down what you want yourself...I like that too, more control on server making mistakes! I love trying ikura(salmon roe) at different restaurants to see if the chefs marinate the delicate eggs or not. I was pleasantly surprised to find this order of ikura marinated. It was slightly sweet with a hint of sake and not too salty as some restaurants will make it. This order was rich & creamy with the addition of quail egg. We ordered a small sashimi combo with salmon, yellowtail, toro & another white fish...I don't know if it was bonito or what, they didn't go over the items when they dropped the dish...but it was the one in the front on the left. They have an extensive roll list which has a ton of California based rolls topped with numerous options. All really good, but California roll base is kind of boring...maybe they could switch up the centers a little. We got Las Vegas roll...completely deep fried, yummy if you like that type of roll, Polar Bear roll, Cali roll topped with white tuna & seared salmon...YUM, a lemon salmon roll, Cali roll topped with salmon & lemon segments...they go so well together!!!! We also had a Firecracker roll which is a spicy tuna roll topped with more spicy tuna & fried minced garlic...really good with a little extra heat, maybe some jalapeños minced up in there but so tasty. We also ordered a White Christmas roll which is a shrimp tempura roll topped with white tuna, Avacado & a wasabi cream sauce...super tasty. Can't have sushi without a Spider roll & I always have an ume shiso roll...this one had lots of julienned cucumbers in it & a negihama roll to appease my clean, raw fish craving. Excellent sushi & the wait for our food was good. We had reservations & I definitely recommend taking the time to make one if you want guaranteed seating, I saw a lot of walk ins turned away or told they'd have an ample wait. If you're up north, I'd highly recommend Sushi Zen.“
“My first time at Akane Ramen left a positive impression.The place has a calm and well-maintained atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal. The service was efficient and fast, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.While I added extra spice to my ramen, it may have masked some of the broth's flavors. Overall, it's a good spot to dine in.Vegetarian options: Vegan options available“
“We decided to try this for takeout. They were fast making the food, and it was ready to be picked up on time. Everything we ordered was delicious. It's our new favorite asian food takeout. The orange chicken and tempura vegetables were a hit with the whole family.“
“I recently went to Tokyo Garden and had an outstanding experience. The vegetable tempura was a standout, perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor. The chicken katsu was equally impressive, cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauce added a delightful touch. The very friendly service contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable meal. Tokyo Garden deserves five stars for its delectable cuisine.“
“The best teriyaki/Chinese takeout food in all of Snohomish and king county. Very similar to Taster’s Wok in Lynnwood in the quality of the food but way less expensive. I’ll never go to another teriyaki place. The General Tso’s chicken is my favorite, and their teriyaki sauce is a sweet soy glaze which is delicious bc most teriyaki joints have pure salty soy sauce which tastes gross. Totally recommend!!“
“I am blown away by the sushi at this restaurant! Every piece is a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The fish is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth, while the rice is perfectly seasoned and holds everything together flawlessly. From classic rolls to creative specials, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere is inviting, and the service is top-notch, making each dining experience memorable. If you're a sushi lover like me, you won't be disappointed!“
“We love this place! Me and my husband come here all the time for sushi! When I moved to this area I was looking for a good sushi place and we found it! They have the most amazing lion king roll, go Seahawks roll and Phili Roll!! You have got to try this place! Plus they have the sweetest employees here!“
“I know nothing about sushi, I can't stand fish. This place has the best spicy chicken teriyaki I've found. Rich sauce, nothing at all like kikkoman, spicy with red and jalapeño peppers, and moist tender chicken. Comes with rice, soup and small salad. Everything is very good. Great service every time I've been here.“
“Everything was amazing with our experience here! The sushi specials you can't beat and it was delicious, and we got the ramen which was also very good! The only thing we wish they had was soju but the peach sake was so good!!! And the music. it would be different if they played the TV or different music but it was quiet and they had elevator music playing was our only complaint! price was great too“
“Another reels recommendation. Cash and Venmo onlyWe live in issaquah so this place is quite the trek. My partner was particularly drawn in by the oversized roll with a variety of fish.Maybe I picked the wrong menu items, but overall not sure what the hype is about. The oversized roll is 30$+ so it’s not like it’s cheaper on a per serving basis.The fish was also so cold to the point where it hurt my teeth to eat (I do have sensitive teeth, but I’ve never had trouble with sushi before). Having so many different fish in a roll meant I couldn’t actually taste the individual flavors very well. I’m also not a fan of raw green onions paired with sushi.The other rolls also weren’t anything special. We got a scallop nigiri which was good tho.Overall probably won’t be driving an hour to come here again.“
“In short Solid new addition to the sushi world around here. Great service, good fish, very diverse menu. Stick with the basics and the value is excellent, but branching out is worth it too. In long This hasn't always been the most beckoning parking lot along 196th, but it's all cleaned up and open for business lately. Good chicken spot next door, where there used to be a grotty mini-mart. Just enough parking. Inside, you immediately forget you're on a main road. It's quiet, clean, well lit, well organized. You walk around past the fish case and into the dining room. Several lightweight matching tables and chairs. You immediately have menus and water. It's a neighborhoody spot rather than a specialty destination, and your first hint is that you already have both sticks and a fork on your napkin. The menu goes on for days, tightly spaced and almost every line is another item. Sashimi, maki, nigiri, teriyaki, ramen. Traditional rolls, modern ones, some creative spins from the kitchen, too. Easily 200+ items. Not much sake selection, but the prices are crazy good. Takoyaki Served very hot, plenty of filling, good flavor, nice mild dipping sauce. Good value. Tuna Tataki Great peppery flavor, served cold, nice sauce. Would love to get this again but kind of expensive ($16) for the serving size. Tiger Eyes Lots of cream cheese flavor, not much smoked salmon showing. Tasty but not super interesting. Jade roll Cucumber-wrapped rolls always sound like a nice change of pace but it's hard to get enough cuke in place to hold it together without dominating the flavors of the fish. White Scorpion roll Beautiful to look at, falls apart easily, very mild flavors. Small sashimi omakase Tasted pretty good. $20 for 8 pieces. Ironically cheaper per piece than the bigger platters. This place is neither overcharging nor offering a crazy value, at least for the dinner menu. The service was SO nice, so friendly and organized, that I'd probably come back and order more carefully. For 3 people we were out the door for $215, which is more than I'd really want to spend usually at a neighborhood spot. Having said that, I probably could have dropped $60 worth of appetizers and filled up on an extra $3 bowl of miso.“
“All I have to say is the Salmon Tornado is amazing! And so is everything I have tried, the Pork Raman the broth almost had a creamy texture with big slices of pork and it was very filling, I ordered the Tofu salad and it had tons of avocado and a delicious dressing, Met the owner and he definitely has the pride of ownership, One thing to note this place is very small but worth the wait.“
“The service was amazing. I'm guessing it was the owner. I was talking to and she was an absolute sweetheart and took the time to explain all the dishes. I didn't get her name. But she looked like mom and possibly daughters working. They were all absolutely so sweet and the food. Oh my god out of this world Highly recommend. The chicken was crispy just like the picture and cooked perfectly Probably could have gotten A better picture but it was absolutely amazing delicious. Next time i'm gonna get the burger“
“I've been here twice now. I ordered the combo with spicy chicken teriyaki, noodles and egg rolls. The spicy chicken teriyaki was really good, the noodles also good. Complimentary soup was good. You can also get Complimentary Jasmine green tea ?. Good service, nice and clean bathroom. Overall great and it will be my new go to teriyaki place in Woodinville.“
“My family enjoys the Wasabi factory, the sushi has always tasted good, and my son demands we go here for it. Personally, I love the breaded chicken it's so crunchy and awesome. The staff has always been friendly and kind, especially to my kids.“
“As a sushi lover, I was so happy about the quality of seafood of the three rolls I tried. I went out of my comfort zone and tried a dish called "chawanmushi" and it was so good! The staff were friendly and knowledgable and the restaurant had a warm vibe. I will return and bring others!“
“Little loud. Great sushi for the price. Easy to seat 2 people quickly, small wait for a table if you have more people. Very friendly staff. Vegan and gluten free options. I visit every 2 weeks when I get my paycheck.Vegetarian options: Vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“Here's a funny story....Brace yourself, it will be long. To be respectful of the owner, owners, whatever it may be, I am omitting names and locations. Anyway...I used to order Teriyaki regularly during my lunch break from a specific location in WA. I loved the taste and the portions of this particular place. I LOVED this place. I ate Teriyaki exclusively at THIS place.If I wanted Teriyaki on a weekend, I would drive 25 minutes to get it from THIS place.I would always order this specific order: Chicken Breast Teriyaki, no salad, extra rice, and a side order of gyoza, no drink. I know, that's a lot of food for a dude 5'8" at a buck fifty, but I can put it away, especially during a cheat meal.Overtime, I would order, and the person on the line would say. "David? 15 minutes." So she got to know me through my repetitive and specific order.I loved the taste of the food. Everything. The portions are huge. You don't see that very often....Large portions and good food. It's typically either good food, small portions or bland food, large portions. Not here, which is why they earned my exclusive business. She also always included a drink and didn't charge me for it.This went on for years until one day, I noticed a sign on the door that they would be closing. I was pretty sad about it, but I just kind of accepted it as a lot of my favorite food places in that area also were closing. I also am not the best at dealing with grieving people or sad situations.I only ate Teriyaki a handful of times after that for the next 4-5 years. Typically out of necessity when I didn't bring a lunch, but only a handful of times and always disappointed they could not hit the bar I was used to.This was about 10 years in total.Recently, about a year ago, I was sitting on a the sofa and thinking about what I should have for a cheat meal....Scrolling and thinking, "No, no, no. None of these places will do." I started having flashbacks of the Teriyaki and Gyoza that I used to have.I decided to give it another go.I called up my local place in Lake Stevens "Teriyaki Diner." I ordered Chicken Breast Teriyaki, no salad, extra rice, a side order of gyoza, no drink."I kid you not, the woman on the line says, "David?"I can't tell you the euphoria, excitement, and shock I was feeling all at the same time. I had a minor existential crisis before I answered, "Yes!" There wasn't much you could say to me at this time to bring me down.We both kinda laughed it off before confirming my order. I went and picked it up as usual. Same place. Same great food. Same great people.Anyway....been ordering regularly again ever since. Love this place.PSTeriyaki is a great choice if you are on a diet and feeling naughty. Not sure who needs to hear that, but you are welcome.“
“Food was amazing. I had a sushi date with a couple friends and we came hungry, we ordered takoyaki, gyoza, 7 rolls, and some sake and it all was delicious.Service was really nice, place is clean, it is a bit small and seating is close together, it is what it is though.“
“The grilling, freshness, juiciness, and teriyaki sauce of the chicken were excellent.It was nice that Korean-style chicken was made and sold separately from breast, tai, and wings, so you could taste different flavors.It seems like it was a godsend that there was rice cake in it.. hahaThe taste and service are top notch!A home that is sure to be visited again!“
“This restaurant is great! I usually just do takeout. We love the yakisoba and pork teriyaki. Food is great, generous portions, very friendly owner, female owner. You might have to wait when she is very busy, but well worth it. She is very entertaining and enthusiastic.“
“There’s a reason this place is 4.5+ stars plus right now — good sized portion, food made fresh to order and friendly service! Nice mom and pop shop — chicken teriyaki was nicely grilled thigh meat with just the right amount of sauce (not too much)! Chicken Katsu was made fresh. The inside is also super super cleanConvenient location — just west off the 179 exit on I5“
“We love this place so much. We started coming here since the end of 2021 when we moved to the area and the people always look forward to seeing us. When we got out of the hospital after our first was born the first thing we did was come here and they were so excited to meet our baby. We got take out the second time though because we had twins ? they are so welcoming and the food is so amazing everytime. We don't eat at any other teriyaki placeKid-friendliness: They love our children. They are so welcoming“
“The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, soft, and delicious! Considering the luxurious taste and freshness of the ingredients, the price was surprisingly affordable! My mom, who loves sushi, also said it was delicious and suggested we come here often!! Best sushi around my neighborhood! Worth the drive down from Lake Stevens!“
“This is for their new AYCE menu. I unfortunately never had the opportunity to try Niku prior to the AYCE revamp.The price and food quality is pretty good for an AYCE BBQ place. Better service and food compared to some Korean BBQs that I’ve been to. Notable recommendations are the Karubi, Beef Tongue, and Finger meat. Then if you’re a fan of duck, definitely try the Duck Breast from the A La Carte selection. Their vegetable/sauce/side dishes area might seem small but it honestly offers core pieces at a BBQ place (veggies, rice, soup, and etc.)The 90 minute limit didn’t bother my party of 3 at all. We all enjoyed our time and the employees never rushed us or anything like that. I was pretty dang full nearing that 90 minute mark anyways.I do recommend a reservation though if you’re showing up on a Saturday night. The restaurant was pretty packed and I could tell there was quite a wait. Also the atmosphere is just great, very dim and cool ambience.Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a different AYCE BBQ place in the Aurora area. It’s a nice option since it’s closer than going over to Bellevue for Gyu-Kaku.Parking: It’s a free shared parking lot with a bunch of other stores. So you might not get a prime spot in front of the Asian Family Market. But you can park at the Hobby Lobby or LA Fitness nearby and walk on over.“
“Even though I work as a manager at another restaurant, this is where I come every day. If you really love Meat and Chicken you can have a perfect meal with excellent Teriyaki sauce, great salad dressing and great soups. I love coming every day.“
“Service was great, man was very nice. Dining in is not allowed so atmosphere not great. Rice and salad portions were large, chicken katsu was enough but small portion compared to other places. Chicken didn't look appetizing. Drove out of my way based on ratings, not worth it. Wish I could post pics.“
“This is our go to for teriyaki, only done takeout cuz it’s a easy dinner/lunch on a work day. Best bang for your buck with decent quality food.For $16 you get teriyaki/katsu with salad, 4 pieces of California roll and side of tempura plus miso soup! When pho prices are $12~18 nowadays, this place is GREAT value. The people who works there are always nice and work quickly.“
“My first time was last week and I'm going back there again so does that tell you anything spicy chicken breast gyoza and miso soup everything was delicious and can't wait to try something else and the people there are very nice!!!“
“Great place if you're looking for a local sushi bar. It's not going to win any international awards, but for a Lynnwood sushi restaurant, it is very good.The owners are always pleasant and helpful, as said in some other reviews, the decor isn't bad, it was just done by the owners and isn't fancy or high end. Perfect spot to go for lunch or dinner, always room, never packed or uncomfortable, great proverbial hole in the wall that serves good food, it's clean, and the people are nice.Edit: I am giving the food here 4 stars based on living in Okinawa and eating some of the best sushi in the world. For a US restaurant, the sushi here is top notch. Don't let the 4 start rating fool you onto thinking this isn't a great sushi spot.“
“High quality and tasty rolls! Had the Salmon Lemon, Shrip tempura, Spider rolls. Fresh ingredients and excellent portions. Also tried the spicy ramen which was delicious and very well presented in the bowl. Kids had the Katsu Don and gobbled it up. Servers were attentive and overall inviting. Will come again!“
“i love coming here me and my mom come very often on fridays. We love the sushi!! its ssooo good!! basically the food me and my mom have tried is super good! i really like the sexy roll and my mom really likes the spider roll! we also love the beef teriyaki or spicy chicken! The place is super clean and pretty! i love coming here?“
“After driving around 20 minutes to try a new teriyaki spot because the two teriyaki places I usually go around Silver Lake / Mill Creek area was closed, I think I might've found my #1 place! I ordered spicy chicken, which came with miso soup and salad. Firstly, the taste was not your typical "teriyaki chicken" that comes in a to go box. They serve the chicken in a foil to keep it warm. Chicken tasted like it was freshly grilled (not sitting in a warmer), which I did wonder how it was going to be given I ordered an hour before closing. The first bite was like holy crap, wow, this is sooo dang good! There were like 3-5 different crazy flavors hitting my taste buds at once. The spicy sauce it came with was something I've never tasted before. After looking at their menu online with more detail, I've come to realize that this place wasn't just a teriyaki spot, but a unique, hole in the wall restaurant that served Korean rice bowls (bibimpap), bento boxes, and sushi - all fused with amazing Korean sauce flavors! They also have Korean fried chicken as well, which made sense. Even the salad was amazing because of their dressing. Like they say, it's all about the sauce, and Gold Chicken definitely has their "Magic Sauce!". I'm absolutely going back to try rest of their menu. It's kind of hard to find this place. It's tucked away in the corner of Target's giant parking lot. I think if the location was more visible to the street, this place for sure will be gold!“
“First time at Toshi’s Teriyaki. I ordered 21, Teriyaki Spicy Garlic Chicken. I took a bite and the chicken was juicy and quite tender. The rice is very moist. Presentation could be better but it’s a Teriyaki place lol. Overall, I would definitely come back for more!“
“food was tasty, but not inexpensive. with tip and tax three of us ate for $72. a sandwich is around $13; fries are $4.5. it is a small shop with not much to look at; could fit maybe a dozen people. that being said the food was good and the portions were ample. i would go again, but i will let someone else pay next time!“
“After the first bite, we said “never again are we trying another place.” Consistently the best sushi of my life, we keep trying to find a place closer to where we live, but the hour drive for this art is worth it and makes anything else feel ridiculous In comparison. Mango Kiwi and Seahawks are our current favorites, but really it’s all amazing. Fish is incredibly consistently fresh, and it is so clear the sushi chef has put his life into this.“
“You owe it to yourself to try this sushi restaurant. The quality is the best I have had in Seattle, and it is the farthest thing you can get from the conveyor belt sushi restaurant. If you want a traditional, homey, sushi atmosphere this is it. Miso soup is the best I have had in the area, and the garlic edamame is also great. The entire staff was so warm and welcoming. Great sushi, great value, great restaurant.“
“Had a Chicken and beef teriyaki combo. Light drizzle of sauce, evenly seasoned beef and chicken, and good ol' fashioned regular white rice for the sticky rice. Salad was missing the dressing, but the seasoning more than made up for that. And being as busy as this place is around closing, they move quick and still strive for excellence! Really good dish for my first time here. ?“
“I was in search of a place to eat one night and I've always wanted to go to this place to try it out. One night I gave it a try and the food was good and the service great. Since that first time I've been back at least seven times. Every item I've ordered met my expectations and satisfied my appetite. I eventually want to try everything on their menu.“
“I came in at the last 5 minutes because i didn’t notice the time. The staff were very accommodating and had my food ready in less than 5 mins. I got home and sat down to eat and let me tell you, this is the best teriyaki I’ve had in a long time! Well done!!“
“Busy area near the kitchen for the family of employee. Looks bad from entry but could be decluttered. Otherwise nice atmosphere.Vegetarian options: There were not any specific vegetarian offerings. I looked around a bit on menu. However this food is generally a good idea for Pescetarians. Vegetarians would look for soy here.Kid-friendliness: I saw a lot of kids toys and nursing equipment“
“Best Teriyaki ever. Tried a few places in the area (only because Kim's closes on weekends!) and none came even close. The food is delicious, the portions are generous and Mr Kim and his associate are very kind. Recently I turned up just after they closed up the kitchen for the night and Mr Kim was kind enough to offer to fire up the grill just for my meal!“
“Recently moved to the area and I'll admit I started coming here first off because of its vicinity to me but wow I have become a loyal customer for a lot more then that! Always speedy, very fair portion sizes, delicious food! I mean look at that poke bowl! It's beautiful and it is BIG, very proportionate (nothing worse then wanting POKE and it's all sides with a piece of sashimi sized tuna) not the case here! Tons of rice and lettuce underneath as well, she's a hefty gal trust me. Looking forward to my next bowl and trying a new entree!“
“Very delicious teriyaki, love the burgers here, used to go there for the famous teriyaki burgers almost daily, only downside is they've been jacking up the prices on the burgers... so I stopped going there as often as I used to...The burgers are literally just buns and a few pieces of meat from a chicken teriyaki.How does this cost half of an entire Teriyaki meal. ?“
“After many years of driving past this spot we decided to give it a shot. Great location, plenty of free parking, and decent food. We ordered two rolls I've never had before, 1) Golden Dragon and 2) Double Tuna Roll - both were delish. Our only complaint was the selection of music that was playing. Very very odd for an Asian restaurant.“
“The food was really good and you get large servings for leftovers and the customer service is excellent and the tables are always clean. I was a little cold, though, especially when people walk through the door. Everything else was amazing!“
“Quick and efficient service when ordering. I stopped over at QFC while I was waiting. I was putting my groceries in my car and the woman who was working behind the counter brought my order out to me. Above and beyond service and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness. Food was delicious with generous serving sizes.“
“Got the chicken and beef teriyaki with fried rice family meal. Came with 4 egg rolls or 16 pot stickers. I did half and half. Also, salad.The food is great. Love their fried rice. It's done right. I have been in other places it's fried and all brown from soy sauce and no vegetables.“

“Some of the best Teriyaki we’ve had in the Seattle area! Amazing orange chicken too. Very friendly and welcoming staff. We were happily surprised they came and let us know that the green tea and miso soup was included! Super clean and fast. Highly recommend this for lunch or dinner.“
“"Indulge in the essence of authentic teriyaki at its finest in the heart of the PNW, crafted by the legendary Chef Toshi since 1976."Each bite of the chicken katsu, grilled chicken, or beef unveils tender perfection, perfectly complemented by the precisely balanced sweetness of the teriyaki sauce. Accompanied by a delightful coleslaw, every dish is a symphony of flavors.With less than 13 dollars included tax (can you imagine it in 2024?), you're treated to the quintessence of Seattle's most beloved cuisine. Definitely worth driving an hour just to savor a chicken teriyaki that captures the essence and history of our city.“
