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“

“Food and service is great!“

“I went with a group of about 20 people for graduation and they fully accommodated for us. I called ahead and they asked us to order the bulk of our orders in advance so we could get our food quickly while not disrupting their dinner rush. I have never see a restaurant be as organized and efficient with a smile on their face. The food was fantastic and I truely cannot give them enough praise for how good their service is! Truely a great to eat run by wonderful people.“

“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.“

“We deviated from our normal Teriyaki place because this Solid is open on Sunday. We ordered take out - Seattle Roll, Spicy Chicken Teriyaki, Vegetarian Spring Rolls, and Miso soup. It was ready on time and absolutely delicious! Some of the best Teriyaki I've had in awhile, including better than my normal place that I've been going to for 20 years. The Miso soup was rich and flavorful. The Seattle Roll flavor was on point as well. We also love the thinly sliced cabbage salad and the thick sesame dressing. Excited to try other dishes. Fabulous! I'll be back!“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“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.:“

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

“Came here cos of the high reviews. The place was spacious and a few tables were occupied already at 5pm. We ordered Kaarage bento. Lion King special roll and the chirashi bowl. Everything was delicious. Lion King was seared salmon and unagi roll, it was very good. The chirashi to our surprise had some uni and unagi, which was a pleasant surprise, although it doesn't have amaebi, but better than what we usually get for chirashi bowl elsewhere. Not sure if it depends on the days availability. Service was nice, we will definitely come 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.“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“Very good food. Service was wonderful“

“A delightful hole in the wall! Great food, great music, great vibes. Better to grab food to go, since it is a bit cramped, but if you happen to need a spot to sit in from the rain, it is a quiet place to hang out with your buddy and enjoy a nice bowl or bento. Try the honey garlic fried chicken if you're about that life.“

“Fantastic quality and portion sizes. Some of the best chicken and beef Teryaki I’ve had. It’s incredibly fresh with a smokiness and you can tell the owners really care about the taste of their food. Nice people as well. My go to spot from now on.“

“Must go spot. Super delicious hidden gem spot for convenient and fast Korean and Japanese takeout! The ladies who run this place are so sweet and friendly and add lots of filling to their gimbaps! Highly recommend their galbi gimbap and katsu curry which was fried fresh on the spot and was steaming hot and crunchy. The galbi gimbap had the perfect combo of veggies and the galbi was cooked extremely tender.

The ambiance is so homey and feels like I’m in a nostalgic Korean drama. Really wish I had a momo bento close to where I live because I would go everyday just for their galbi gimbap. Please give the aunties a lot of business and stop by momo bento for a meal that tastes like home❤“

“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!!!“

“Friendly Staff, awesome food! My favorite is the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki. I keep coming back for a reason. Perfect amount of spice to flavor ratio. They have photos in the dining area of the local bowing & Everett Naval Base. Gives a sense of community. :)“

“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.“

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

“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 already went to the teriyaki place like six times, literally the best teriyaki best people kindest hard-working fast and you get a free drink included with your teriyaki. I love the spicy chicken teriyaki it literally tastes like it’s homemade not like a lot of that cheap mass produce stuff. I could see myself coming here literally every week, and I might just do that!“

“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!“

“Walked in on a whim and had such a great experience, definitely will be back! They have a great happy hour menu along with great options for people that don’t eat fish/raw fish. I don’t write reviews too often but I wanted to give a shout-out to this restaurant as their service and quality of fish truly goes above and beyond!“

“The chicken, beef, teriyaki is really good. Combination yakisoba is great, same with the California rolls. They have big portions too and plenty of meat. The people at the counter are very friendly and meals are usually ready within 10-15 minutes.“

“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.“

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

“Found wow teriyaki on TikTok. They live up to their name. I stopped by on good time, so i did not wait for long prep time. According to the recent reviews, when they get slammed wait time is long. I guess I was lucky. Only waited 5 minutes for chicken teriyaki, massive portion with char flavor , good amount of sauce on chicken. Overall I had a great experience at wow. Keep up the good work. I will spread the words to all of my fam and friends.“

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

“This place is great for an early dinner, you could easily wait 45 minutes for a table otherwise. I’ve also had moments where there was no way to accommodate 5 people.
Once get in, it’s an incredible meal that was worth the wait“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“This was my first time eating at this teriyaki shop, and it was so good. They had free teriyaki sauce for my chicken, and it was the best ever. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10, and it was almost as good as another teriyaki shop that I have been to before. I would eat here again.“

“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.“

“Feels like coming home..
I used to come here every single week about 15 years ago but life changed and i didn’t come back for almost a decade. BUT when i walked through that door yesterday, i was met with the biggest welcoming smiles! The owner recognized me and happily served me & my sister a most comforting huge plate of juicy flavorful spicy chx teriyaki that just hit the spot and fed our souls 🔥 I hope this business stays open forever so i can bring my kids here some day.“

“Don't let the strip mall location fool you. The gluten free food is delicious, not greasy, and they serve big portions. I loved the gluten free chicken katsu! Tons of meat, lightly breaded, no soggy or greasy texture, not overly salty. The katsu sauce was also great. I wish I found this place sooner. I can't wait to come back to try more gluten free Chinese dishes. 😋“

“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“

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

“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.“

“They have a drive thru. That is nice to see. I didn't use it this time as it was my first time here. The food came quickly. The chicken was overall good. The beef was not so great though. The service was okay. I felt very rushed even though I was the only person in the building and nobody was in the drive thru. I didn't know the menu so I had to look for a little bit as I was ordering different things I saw. At some point I asked about pictures of an item I saw but couldn't find the price for. That was when it felt like my taking my time was an issue. I was quickly met with no price then we don't have it. I confirmed by reiterating. I was told Yes. Are you done? Would you like anything else? I said no. Paid for my food. Waited less than 10 minutes and left.“

“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 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!“

“If you're looking for fantastic food that won't break the bank, Joy Teriyaki is it. I just had their General Tao's Chicken, and it's absolutely to die for – perfectly crispy, flavorful, and just incredible. The portions are huge, the prices are amazing, and honestly, it's just a win all around. Five stars, easy!“
