10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Monroe

“We stopped here to share a plate before driving home to Kitsap County. You order at the counter and we were helped immediately. We shared a honey garlic chicken and a side of bbq pork. We were served quickly and enjoyed our food. This order is not spicy but was very tasty as was the bbq pork. We left satisfied and will come back again if we are in the Monroe area.“

“My husband loves this place. We’ve been coming here for a few years and doing take out. The portions are great, and the food is tasty. Bonus points because tonight we ordered a chicken teriyaki for my daughter and they pre cut the chicken into small bites for her. Thoughtful and great customer service.“

“Quality food and excellent service! They’ve consistently made great food since I was a kid! This place makes WAY better food than the other Kami restaurant in the middle of town. Some personal favorites I recommend are their egg rolls, pork fried rice, wonton soup, beef yakisoba and sweet/sour chicken.“

“Service here has always been friendly and . I purchased all white meat chicken teriyaki and had a special request for the preparation of the chicken for this meal and this is the only place in Monroe that didn't have an issue with cutting up the meat for this dinner item. Everything I've tried so far has been great, meat freshly cooked and never gristled..definitely recommend this restaurant.
MY REVIEW IS NOT FAKE EITHER KELLY TANKSLY, BUT YOURS IS!“

“Best sushi I've ever had. I'm not exactly a sushi fan, but I love thiers!“

“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.“

“Teriyaki Bliss in the Autumn Sun

While walking home on a lovely fall afternoon, I stumbled upon a charming little teriyaki place that seemed to scream, “Eat outside while you still can!” Naturally, I obliged.

I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, and wow! It was like a warm hug from a long-lost friend. The chicken, grilled to perfection, bathed in a sweet-savory sauce, had my taste buds doing the cha-cha. The rice was fluffy, and the veggies were fresh enough to make you think they just jumped off a farmer's market table—if I knew what that looked like, of course.

As I savored my meal, the sun beamed down, and I had to fend off some curious squirrels who clearly believed my bowl was their next treasure. I perfected my “I will not share” face—an impressive masterpiece, if I do say so myself.

Overall, this teriyaki spot is a must-visit for a delightful meal that pairs perfectly with the last sunny days of fall. Just make sure to bring your sense of humor and maybe a jacket for when the sun sets and the squirrels start plotting! ???️“

“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!“

“I have eaten here for years and years and years, sure its not the prettiest place in the world but my dad has moved to puyallup and makes me bring him beef teriyaki every time i see him. Never had better teriyaki (and ive gone to many others). Chicken katsu is fantastic as well. I will mourn the day when this place closes/changes owners.“

“Stopped in on a Friday evening, dine in and it was wonderful. Small dining area with the basics but is so clean. The dine-in area just had one other couple but the to-go orders were plentiful. The owners greeted everyone with sincerity and all the to-go peeps seemed to be regulars. We enjoyed a chicken bento box and an order of the orange chicken. Both were played well and tasted amazing. So fresh! Japan Teriyaki was a great surprise find tucked away off of 20th.“
