50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Milton

“Super calm and quiet little hole in the wall teriyaki joint. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and the little tucked away places like these are always the best! And I was not disappointed! The fried rice was some of the best I've ever had, Tempura shrimp and gyoza seemed very fresh and super flavorful and crispy. I got the Mongolian Beef as my main dish and while it seemed like it was missing something, maybe it wasn't as saucy as I'm used to at other places, but who knows this could be the traditional way to make it so I won't jump to conclusions. It was still very delicious though!

The only little downside is that I wish the meal portion sizes were a little larger. But other than that, service was very kind, it seems like this lovely older man and woman running the shop all by themselves. I had walked in to tonight get a to-go order tonight and was probably waiting a little less than or around 10 minutes, this was a Saturday night too. The place wasn't very busy, but I think it definitely deserves more attention. I will be coming here again!“

“Decent place. Will give a 2nd chance. Only giving 4's because I wasn't given the option to dine in. Food tastes it best freshly cooked so I had to drive 15-20min back home before diving in.
I will say that I popped in here an hour before closing on new years eve but, I still should have been given an option to eat there.
Will give a 2nd chance and bring the fam with me next time as well.“

“Always tasty and large portions! Excellent restaurant.“

“We went to visit Sumo Japanese restaurant for the first time after church service. The food and the service were great. I highly recommend this restaurant and the robots service was a great touch.“

“we ordered several items from ramen to dumplings to fried rice to chicken curry katsu and everything was absolutely amazing! the best ramen I have ever had! will be coming back as a frequent diner for sure! highly recommend!!! Lastly the staff was so on point from taking our order to checking on us through out the meal! kudos to your entire staff!!!!“

“Friendly service, food is great, plenty of selections; Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods in one place. I had the spider roll and the Mongolian Beef. I didn’t order the combos on purpose but who knew the Japanese food and Chinese food complimented each other very well. Talking about a great service, my wife order the sesame balls for a dessert. 2 of 5 were a bit under cooked somehow. We broke them a part but didn’t eat them. One other staffs walked by and asked if we didn’t like. My wife told her those 2 seemed like they are not full cooked so we didn’t want to eat them but we are okayed. She then insisted that she asked the chef to make a fresh batch of 5 for us. This time they were perfectly cooked. I was impressed with her and felt very appreciative. I recommend this place if you like delicious food and something quick.“

“Now that there is a great sushi chef there I hope that we will be seeing sushi added to the menu“

“We have been there a couple of times. Everything has been excellent. Prices are comparable to other sushi restaurants in the area. Our only complaint is the tea is a bit week. Still deserves 5 stars.“

“My Husband and i eat here nearly once every week. The owner Yoko is inviting and friendly. The food is very delicious! Itadakimasu!~ Many thanks for the wonderful meals, Always worth it! My favorites: + Pan Fried gyoza; delicious,crispy, perfect. + My husband orders the Miso soup, It's the most flavorful miso we have tried. + My husband loves the curry ramen, I always enjoy sipping some of the broth too! very flavorful and warming. (I think they used to be called I <3 Curry! So this fusion is wonderful!) + Okonomiyaki; beautiful and delicious. +Tonkatsu Curry is very delicious! i order this the most +Curry pork fried rice special over the summer is very delicious! I always ask if they'll still make it for me.(and am very grateful when they do!)“

“I come to this place often for lunch. Sometimes they are quite busy, and it’s easy to see why: great food and reasonable prices. I particularly like the chicken salad, but the chicken katsu is also a favorite, as is the fried rice and sweet and sour chicken from the Chinese menu.“

“The food is so amazing, the sweet and salty go together perfectly, and the savory elements bring so much to it. The unagi sauce on the eel is top notch. And the tempura is so fluffy while also having a great crispness. All around the atmosphere, the food ,and the service, is so amazing“

“This restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for fried rice in town! I’ve visited twice and tried several dishes, including pork lumpia, pineapple fried rice, crab fried rice, basil fried rice, and Penang curry with tofu. The lumpia is fresh and delicious, with a generous portion perfect for sharing. The fried rice is outstanding, reminding me of the Asian-style fried rice I crave, with the crab fried rice standing out as the best in terms of portion size, price, and flavor. The Penang curry is simple yet enjoyable.

For convenience, I recommend ordering about 20 minutes ahead and using their own website for pickup, as it avoids the steep markup on delivery platforms and often comes with larger portions. The service is excellent—they even bring the food directly to your car if you're waiting. Overall, a fantastic spot for delicious, high-quality fried rice!. Not a usual spot for convenient dine in.“

“Amazingly generous place. Great service regardless of dine in or take out. They took care of our order to go and blessed us with miso soup that we didn't order. Very giving restaurant. Recommend them highly. I've never had a bad meal from them. Golden Gate is one of my favorites.“

“The sushi was pretty good, presentation was very good, service was also very good. The miso soup was on point and the salad dressing was outstanding. The tea was also very good.
The owner was super friendly and nice almost felt like we were in Japan.“

“my son told me to try the tonkatsu ... and he was absolutely tastier and juicier right👍👍“

“Lovely people that make great food!! Parents come here weekly so we thought we would stop in. Very happy we did! I had the sesame chicken combo and it was delicious!! My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his Mongolian. The crab ragoons were also so perfectly crisp! Will definitely be back more.“

“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.“

“It's been nearly 20 years since I had last eaten at Soho Teriyaki, and I was worried that I was misremembering how great it was. I ate there today and it is still hands-down my very favorite teriyaki place of all-time!!! Thank you for the awesome food and memories.“

“Hands down the best sushi restaurant in the PNW. Small place, I believe the chef only serves one table at a time, so booking is tight. We waited about a week before we got a slot. When you do place your reservation, you will also need to order your dishes in advance. It's a very personal experience, which is great because it lets us appreciate the quality of sushi. We ordered the chirashi bowl and omakase, and it's the best that we've ever had.“

“This place never disappoints. The service is great and the food is amazing 💖“

“I have never had teriyaki like this before, most teriyaki places have sauce all over the meat, sure, but the meat will STILL be dry. NOT HERE - the chicken is the most moist I have ever had at a teriyaki place, it isn't dripping in sauce, it just has a perfect layer for flavor. I 100% recommend this place to get your teriyaki, go ahead an ask for a side of sauce, but you'll barely even need it. ?“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this teriyaki shop, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere.First and foremost, the food was absolutely delicious. I got spicy chicken teriyaki and general tso's chicken. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. Whether you're a fan of chicken, beef, or tofu, they have something for everyone. The teriyaki sauce was perfectly balanced, not too sweet or too salty, just right.What really blew me away was the speed of their service. Despite the bustling lunch rush, my order was ready in record time. It's evident that they prioritize efficiency without compromising on quality. Whether you're dining in or taking out, you won't have to wait long to satisfy your cravings.In addition to their tasty food and quick service, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great option for a satisfying meal that won't break the bank.Overall, I highly recommend this teriyaki shop to anyone craving delicious Japanese cuisine served with lightning-fast service. I'll definitely be returning for more soon!“

“I have been a customer for over 35 years. Never ever have I experienced a better Sushi restaurant. I adore the owners. Fresh amazing food.“

“I have been dining here for over a decade, and every time, the food is just as amazing as the first time I had it. Teriyaki portions are bigger than you think, and if you dine in, they'll start you off with some egg drop soup! Friendly service, and a tv with movies to distract you“

“The music is nice, and the sushi bar has a beautiful light grain wood stain. They add garnish and floral decorations to their dishes which is a nice touch on presentation. Staff are sweet and respectful.
I enjoyed eating here and the gentleman behind the counter let me know they've been here for almost a year which was a pleasant surprise. It's nice to see a traditional style sushi bar in Bonney Lake.“

“I can't say enough good things about Modoo Teriyaki in Sumner! This place has quickly become my favorite spot for chicken teriyaki. The flavors are absolutely amazing, and the chicken is always cooked to perfection—juicy and tender every time.

The teriyaki sauce is the best I've ever had, with just the right balance of sweetness and savory goodness. The portion sizes are generous, making it a fantastic value for such high-quality food. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

If you're in the area and craving some delicious teriyaki, Modoo is the place to go! Five stars without a doubt!“

“Good foods, good price and they are very kind for customers. Recommend 10 of 10“

“The short ribs were really good. Super tender and full of flavor. I thought they’d be expensive, but the prices felt fair, especially considering how everything’s gone up lately.

I also tried one of the wok dishes, and it was tasty. If you like chicken, they’ve got a few solid options worth checking out. Overall, a nice spot. I’d come back again.“

“First time trying this place and it was pretty good! Service was quick and food was tasty. It’s a to go spot only but they are quick to serve. We got the Happy Combo 2 and it was delicious, love the fact that it had so many meat choices serve on top of noodles and a big size of white rice. It was perfect serving amount for me and my family. Price was normal as most teriyaki places I been too. I would definitely return again and try the other food they have to offer.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had an amazing dinner at Iron Chef! Our chef, Issac, was not only incredibly talented but also made the whole experience fun and engaging from start to finish. What really stood out was how attentive the entire staff was—after dinner, Daniel noticed us taking photos and came over to offer to take a group shot for us. Such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture! The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely coming back!“

“I've been to many sushi places in the Tacoma/Seattle area and Fujiya certainly stands out as one the best. I can really only speak to the nigiri, but it is always fresh, melt in your mouth tender and generous slices of fish. So good! I want to go back just talking about it!“

“I'm pretty picky about teriyaki these days but this place is EXCEPTIONALLY good. The staff member Rianna was super friendly and helpful and had amazing recommendations. The food is great. The katsu, teriyaki and fried rice are literally mouth watering and FRESH. This is our new go to spot and can't wait to try more!“

“My favorite chicken teriyaki place in town! The owners are absolutely sweet hearts and very hard workers. It’s always fast and very fairly priced. I can also tell the actual chicken is a higher quality than some of the other places in town which taste like it’s from a can. I eat her 2X a week and have never been disappointed“

“chat ts is awesome my dude. The girl at the front very friendly and the food is obviously good. Very friendly towards customers. I always get my UTENSILS because I ASK for them. ☺️
I don’t mind paying 50 cents for the sauces, it’s not a lot of money unless you’re broke. I enjoy the atmosphere whenever i’m in there, very calm and enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place ☺️“

“Everything was excellent from our host, food, and especially our Server Courtney was amazing.“

“I love this teriyaki place. It is by far the best around and I’ve been to plenty of teriyaki restaurants. The food is always good and consistent. Same goes for the service. It’s very quick and the owner is great. My favorite thing is the teriyaki sauce which is made in house according to the owner. Will definitely be coming back for more delicious teriyaki.“

“We love sushi and this place did not disappoint 😊“

“Shari is the best !!!! I love her service she made me feel welcomed and had a big smile . I was comfortable and. Tipped her very well. If anyone need a raise is for her compassion at work !!! Let’s Go SHARI !!!!“

“Ordered takeout from here last week, and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Salmon nigiri is always my favorite, and theirs is fresh and delicious, great fish to rice ratio, large pieces of salmon, and very reasonably priced! Everything I ordered was delicious. It was packaged well. And they had my order ready quickly. Will definitely be back!“

“Excellent food here.Kung pao chicken was fried perfectly and a great combination of sweet and spicy. Just like my Chinese mother in law makes.Chicken teriyaki has a grilled taste and was also excellent.Portions are large.Extra teriyaki sauce at the table, so you can add extra sauce and flavor.The egg roll was massive and delicious.The kids meal is also an excellent value and delicious.“

“I haven’t been here since probably 2 years and I went yesterday and got a ‘moms plate’ which is essentially a family meal and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of goodies you get with it for only 50$ (3 large plates of entrees with fried rice and lots of side dishes&soup) it’s supposed to feed 4 but it definitely can feed more than that. And my favorite sweet and sour chicken has gotten much better since the last time I’ve gone, they must’ve started using better chicken as it was a lot fresher and not dry. Owners are extremely kind and I’m always greeted with a big smile, certified auburn classic and I’ll be coming back more often!!“

“Loved the chicken katsu that I just demolished! The katsu had good flavor, katsu sauce is solid with a little sweetness and tang. Rice was a little dry, but we in Auburn, so i guess you got to appeal to the demographics. You don't come here for the salad although the dressing was good. The restaurant feels homey with a nice korean couple running the show. Overall, the food, homey feeling and sweet auntie and uncle makes this place a winner. 잘 먹겠습니다.“

“Got the combo with Chicken Teriyaki and Sesame Chicken for takeout, and was very pleased. Food was excellent, and even though they forgot to put my sauce on the side, they offered to remake it for me! I didn't have them remake it because that would have been just a waste of perfectly good food, but the fact that offered was nice.

Only small nitpick is that for a double plate like that, the amount of rice you get is pretty small. I assume it's the same amount of rice that you get for a single plate, so one more scoop would have felt more balanced.

Overall though, I think it's a pretty small complaint. Very good food, not too expensive. Definitely recommend!“

“The food was amazing, I haven’t had good teriyaki since I’ve moved to the East coast 5 years ago. Been craving it since then, came to visit and have only been here for 4 days and am now coming back for a 2nd time. 10000000000/10 😍😍 ordered special #1“

“Spicy chicken teriyaki was very good although it does have onions and broccoli added with the chicken. I recommend staying away from their plain teriyaki sauce as it is more of a gelatin consistency. Meat proportions are medium/small compared to other yaki restaurants. Service was fast and “

“I Have taken taken meals out twice thus far and the meals were excellent! The service was polite and well received. I highly recommend Joy Teriyaki.“

“This is the best teriyaki spot in Federal way.NEVER A LONG WAIT. I love their chicken katsu. Never overcooked and fried to that perfect crunchy texture mmmmmmm! The sauce is to die for, well not literally! The rice is always cooked to perfection. Never that mushy pudding kind 🤢! Try YUMMY’s because they are YUMMI!!!“

“This is our go-to for teriyaki. Spring rolls were awesome, I should have ordered more because the kids practically inhaled them. I got tofu teriyaki and it was great. My family loves the chicken teriyaki. They are so accommodating and a joy to order food from. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.“

“DO NOT RECOMMEND It's what I pushed and then all the sudden it said I recommend it no I don't I went in today to go get my Beef Teriyaki with fried rice I paid extra for the rice. I ended up not getting a sauce for my fried rice so I asked for one. I showed the girl that I didn't get one and she was rude to me in front of all the customers saying that it doesn't come with 1. Trying to charge me $1 so I'm confused that not only did I just pay 12.49 plus 1.99 for some rice and you want to charge me for a sauce. She slammed down 2 sauces and said "next time I'm charging you". I took 1 to my table and said you know what I'll put it back because I ordered a side of fried rice and will give my mom mine. Shes slamming the ice around etc... Also I had bean sprouts in my food a few weeks ago when I asked for none in 3 of my meals. I didn't complain. I did have 2 complaints from the past about sweet and sour chicken being hard it was all like bone cartridges. If you complain one time the rest of the time on they treat you like crap. I'm done with going here I've had enough of thier bs.“
