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.“

“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.“

“Love LOVE this place. I used to love their Kirkland location and was sad when I moved away, so I was absolutely ecstatic that they opened a Ballard location. The rolls are affordable and tasty, and the wine pours are the most generous in Ballard.“

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

“I have only ordered to go from this place. The Katsu and teriyaki chicken are excellent.
Everything showed up hot like it should . I ordered Gioza with my chicken as well.. It was also hot and fresh.. even though I didn’t pay for it, they included some salad and dressing along with my order 😌.

I ate most of the Gyoza 🥟 as soon as it showed up. Had a bunch of the cartoon and a few pieces of the teriyaki with my fingers. Excellent quality and consistency.“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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“

“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 sashimi cups are to die for, the portions aren't big but they are delicious!! only complaint is that the cashier will ask you if you want spicy mayo and they will not tell you that it costs extra :( so there will be an extra charge added to your account“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“Always so good! One of the best teriyaki places in Seattle. Always get the beef with fried rice, my hubs gets the spicy chicken. Great place to just grab dinner on the way home from a late night at the office. Easy parking in the back and always quick.“

“this is honestly my favorite teriyaki spot ever. me and my boyfriend go here all the time, it’s our go-to place when we just want something good and comforting. the food is always sooo good, like consistently, never disappoints.

the guy who works there is always so nice and friendly, every time we come in he somehow puts us in a better mood. just super sweet energy.

this time we got the spicy pork bulgogi (on the photo) and it was so good, but honestly everything we’ve tried here so far has been perfect. we love it!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“The food is tasty, especially for the large portions you get. I really like all the kimbap they have (especially the triangle tuna kimbap). It was properly seasoned with a good kick to it! This place deserves to be a lot more busier than it typically is.“

“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😘😋😍“

“What they lack in space they make up for in freshness, flavor and presentation. Tried lots of different rolls and the chicken teriyaki w gyoza and it was all amazing. P.S. komorebi is a Japanese word for light peeking through the leaves of trees and casting patterns. Perfect name for a such a little spot with such beautiful food.“

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

“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!“

“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. 🤌“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. The staff is always friendly. The food is delicious! And yeah, it's more expensive than most teriyaki places. But, you pay $20 and have enough for two meals! If you think you're not getting your values worth, then you're the problem!“

“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.“

“Hands down, the best teriyaki place in Washington state. Love the portion size and the smoky flavor always hits the spot. Only things that I'd recommend is to get the sauce on the side, because I personally don't like it having too much sauce, it gets a bit salty.“

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

“Amazing food, even greater prices and employees. Lovely little spot, it's always clean and well kept. I can tell they get busy, the workers are hustling, major respect. The portions are amazing, they don't skimp out, the quality is 👍👍👍 My go to teriyaki spot“

“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!“

“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 foods and awesome service!“

“This has got to be the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Their staff is phenomenal and I’ve loved everything I’ve eaten there. They have a nice variety of dishes and appetizers. and it’s a restaurant I highly recommend for their delicious food and super sweet staff.“
