50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Mountlake Terrace

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

“My son asked for water bowl for our pup. They would not take money for it. Then we both wanted food and got chicken bowls that were perfect. The lady brought them outside to us with a bowl of chicken for our pup. She was amazingly friendly. The food was great. Give this place a try. Hope you have itas good as well both did. We will be back.“

“The texture, cor, taste, sauces, seasoning, moisture, softness of the chicken, the freshness of the vegetables, and the richness yet not too rich teriyaki sauce mixture is almost to die for! Well balanced dish (although I had extra chicken), and the atmosphere (me being alone in the restaurant felt kinda good, but it's a little forlorn). Why not many people eat at this location is beyond me, but I HIGHLY recommend eating here. True quality and real appreciation of Teriyaki. Next time, I have to try something else besides just teriyaki. :)“

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.“

“Best sushi. Joe is an exceptional sushi chef. His support staff are incredible. Vintage stereo equipment and vinyl records on the walls. Don’t miss out.“

“We tried 8 items and every single one was delicious. The New York roll was incredible. I had something that starts with a Y I forgot the name of (w/ tempura shrimp and spicy crab salad) and I could've eaten three. My kids liked their NY and spicy tuna rolls so much that they ordered seconds. The ramen bowl was petite enough that I could eat it plus two rolls (and share a dessert) and not explode, be super satisfied. The ramen was $6.95, fancy rolls were $8.95, edamame $2.95, and wine $6. The ube cheesecake, OMG. Unbelievable. I cannot believe how delicious this was for the price. Also, service was 👌Very kid friendly. I cannot wait to come back!“

“A great spot for authentic kaiseki in Seattle. The dishes are creative and the presentation is thoughtful, extending to the beautiful ceramics and plating. It’s a quiet, intimate space that’s perfect for a focused meal or a date. Service was excellent and professional. They apply an automatic 20% service charge but don’t ask for tips on top of that, which simplifies the end of the meal. I’m looking forward to returning.“

“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.“

“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“

“Area is for the most part a restaurant desert. Parking lot is small. If you don't live nearby, please leave room for nearby residents by parking at Husky Stadium.“

“Little gem! I can't wait to order again. I ordered teriyaki and gyozas which were very good, even the salad that comes with the meal was great!!! It was all well presented. It's apparent they take pride in their work. The fried chicken looks amazing. I look forward to trying one of their other dishes.
The only less favorable comment I have is only because I'm not a fan of ginger. You could taste the ginger come through in the teriyaki sauce and salad dressing, but not enough to not return. Wonderful restaurant.
UPDATE - I finally tried other dishes, General Tso and Sweet & Sour (at different times). It was so disappointing considering the teriyaki and korean fried chicken is so on point. However, these two dishes, Im not sure chicken was involved. If it was they were scraps of the chicken thighs not used for the teriyaki. I honestly believe these entrees were just all deep fried batter, no chicken. It was so hard to chew and I tasted no chicken. I won't be trying anything else. I paid $20 to eat rice. Hey- you can't be good at everything.“

“This place gets packed with dine-in and takeout during dinner time so try to plan ahead and please understand they’re working as quickly as possible. Saturday is their busiest day so please keep this in mind.

Great food. Good quick customer service.“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“I just want to say, I drive by this place all the time when I go run my dog in magnolia, finally stopped in. Quiet little spot but the lady taking my order was so sweet and nice, made me understand the order, because I wanted extra side of gyoza with my Teri chicken, she insisted I just do the combo. I don’t normally do combo because it usually means you get less chicken but she told me that’s not how they do it :). I was more than surprised and happy. I got a feel stack of chicken, two scoop rice (which is also rare) 6 gyoza on the side and side salad, and it was freaking delish! Want to try the katsu next. Also as a side note, the salad was so fresh.

Great stuff“

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

“Toudai Sushi & Fusion is an incredible restaurant with some of the best sushi I’ve ever had! The owners are extremely kind and friendly, and the customer service is exceptional. The sushi portions are very generous, and the flavor is perfect!

Next time, I’d like to try the bento box as that seemed very popular while I was eating. Not a very long wait, very efficient on getting folks orders out.

10/10 recommend!“

“Definitely freshest and highest quality fish in the Fremont area. Skip Fremont Bowl and come here. What especially stands out (and gives me a sense of how much they care about the food) is that the surimi, seaweed salad, and egg omelette have that homemade taste.“

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

“Manna Deli is a teriyaki restaurant on Aurora. It's inside of a strip mall so it has a small parking lot alongside other businesses too, which is easy to get to turning off of highway 99. Inside its got a few tables to sit and eat. Their menu is a good size, with portions being great for the price. The service here is phenomenal, super friendly lady always at the front. Food is made to order, and very quickly I might add. Overall this is a great place for teriyaki or other Asian inspired meals at a great price.“

“Very good food. Service was wonderful“

“Absolutely LOVE this place! Special shoutout to Brian who works there every day. I come here once, sometimes twice a week enough to be a usual. Brian is friendly and even though at times it gets busy I can see his calm demeanor and he never fails to give me great and friendly service so hopefully you get to experience that too! 💪

FOOD: My favorite go to is the General Tsao's Chicken and the serving is enough for me to keep leftovers for dinner😋

I am so proud of the growth of this place and excited to see what else is in store! Definitely worth the visit ✨“

“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.“

“This is a cute small little Korean place with high quality food with good proportions. I shared a beef teriyaki box with my 15 and 7 year old girls and we left full. The owner, Mrs Young, was extremely sweet and very hospitable. The food came out in to go boxes and was nicely prepared. Looking forward to another meal here.“

“I recently moved to the neighborhood and found this place quickly on. The service is always very friendly and helpful, and the food it effortlessly delicious. The restaurant itself is quaint and simple, in the perfect way that your local teriyaki should be. I recommend coming here for quick and spot-hitting food. I get the half spicy chicken teriyaki, half regular. 🤌“

“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!!!“

“Great food, great employees ( especially Raechel). We love going to Shiku. They are very helpful with recommendations, and we've never been disappointed. We highly recommend trying them out.“

“Just went there for the Gyudon and it exceeded my expectations. It was very delicious and on the spot. Down side is nothing to do with the restaurant but parking. It is hard to find a good parking spot. However will be coming back but probably picking up the food rather than dinning in.“

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

“Second time ordering here, and safe to say this is my new favorite spot for sushi. You can taste the freshness, care, and incredible flavor. They’re consistent and just great overall. Will be ordering here on the regular! Udon noodles and spicy tuna HIGHLY recommend.“

“Great food, broad Japanese food menu and saki options. Good flawless service. Tiny space plan for it. Also bring your Covid vaccine card or recent test.“

“Have been coming here for 7+ years now and have always loved it. Prices are about as good as it gets for a poke bowl, delicious Mac salad, great fish (Hawaiian is my favorite), and tons of toppings to choose from. My only gripe is I wish they didnt run out of spam musubi so early in the day!“

“We just moved to the area and needed a Teriyaki spot. This place is amazing. I love that five stars mean 5 stars. Sean is wonderful. It's great knowing we don't have to look any longer. I look forward to working my way through the menu.“

“After hearing about Wataru from a friend, I was very eager to try it, and then my wife surprised me with a dinner here with my son for Father's Day.

From start to finish, the food, service, and hospitality were all incredible. Every course was delicious, and even as we started to get full we found ourselves pushing through to try the next amazing item.

We will absolutely be back to this gem of a restaurant!“

“I've been trying different sushi spots around north of Seattle for the last few years, and Tokyo House is one of those places I keep coming back to. Nothing flashy, just consistently good sushi and really friendly people. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was on point, and they weren't stingy with the portions.

I drove up from Seattle on a weekend and it was definitely worth it. We ordered a mix of nigiri, a couple specialty rolls, and sashimi, and honestly there wasn't anything we'd skip next time. Service was attentive without hovering, and our food came out pretty quickly even though they were fairly busy.

If you're in Everett and want solid sushi without paying downtown Seattle prices, I'd recommend giving this place a shot. I'll definitely be back next time I'm up this way.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Teriyaki“

“Stumbled in for a quick lunch and left genuinely impressed. The teriyaki was tender, flavorful, and cooked with real care, exactly what good comfort food should taste like. But what made it special was the owner. Warm, kind, and welcoming in a way that felt just like home. This isn't just another teriyaki spot, it's the kind of place you keep coming back to for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend!“

“Spicy tuna, crispy rice, you’re tired and is chasing the dragon.“

“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“

“Great atmosphere and service. Very nice servers and good suggestions on menu items. Food was fresh and savory. They have a bit of everything to try, from ramen, to karaage, and corn/veggie patties, bento, and obviously sushi and sashimi plates.“

“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.“

“Simply wonderful. The entire dining experience, from the lovely gentlemen crafting beautiful, tasty food, to the wait staff, to the food. Price. EVERYTHING. We loved it so much that we made a point to come back the same week on our trip. Will always be a must-stop in Seattle from now on!!! Thank you, Kisaku!!!“

“Real beef and chicken pieces. Enough for two meals. Perfect sauce and perfect salad dressing.“

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

“want to recommend Kami Teriyaki in totem lake Kirkland because, for me, it is one of the best teriyaki places I have ever had in Washington, and honestly in my life.

I am a regular customer, and when I am not eating at the restaurant, I also order delivery. It is my favorite place for teriyaki.

I highly recommend it because it offers fresh and delicious food, very generous portions, fair prices, and very good service. The owners are very kind, and I only have positive things to say about this place.

It is my favorite teriyaki restaurant. Thank you, Kami Teriyaki.“

“I can’t believe I have not frequented this place before. It’s fantastic!“
