50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Newcastle

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“Don't get me wrong, I like this place. I'm just writing this to warn people against getting the prawn ramen, because it costs $6 more than the original and you literally get 1 prawn lol. My friends laughed, but as a shrimp-enjoyer, I was sad. 🍤🥲“

“This place is next level! Best tempura I’ve ever experienced. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“My favorite sushi restaurant hands down. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Well worth the drive to get there.“

“Finally visited the new location! Their udon is so good! The owner remembers me from the original Kirkland location 5 years ago!“

“Best place ever!! 5 stars!! The food is incredible, best vietnamese I’ve ever had. Not only is the food incredible, but the servers are so kind! Overall a great experience and would highly recommend!!“

“A fantastic 8-course meal! Delicious, fresh, authentic Japanese food with the highest quality ingredients & unique presentation! Service & atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming ... The entire omekase experience was One of the best we experienced in the States (or in Japan).
Chef Nori Morita is meticulous & very talented. Is was a joy for us to just watch him work. He & the entire team are very dedicated to providing the highest quality & a beautiful experience for all guests.
I wouldn't be surprised if this restaurant earns their first Michelin star in the next couple years“

“An Absolutely enjoyable experience. The owner/ chef is a very nice and friendly man with a very welcoming presence. The food was excellent, presented beautifully and arrived quickly. He even surprised us at the end of our meal with complimentary spicy tuna hand rolls. The food was great but his presence really puts it over the top.“

“daily specials are awesome. delicious food that’s so worth checking out“

“We catered food from Yamada Teriyaki and were blown away. The samosas were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the House Special Fried Rice was a total hit, generously loaded with tender meat, shrimp, and vegetables, all seasoned to perfection.

Everything arrived fresh, hot, and beautifully packed. The portions were generous, and the quality was outstanding. The service was smooth, friendly, and reliable. For the price and portion sizes, the catering option is absolutely worth it.

One thing I also really like is that Mandalay Deli Mart is right next door, so it is super convenient to grab drinks, snacks, Burmese goodies, or quick deli items all in one stop.

Highly recommend Yamada Teriyaki for catering, authentic flavors, great presentation, and excellent value. We will definitely be back for more.“

“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.“

“The food was delicious! I am a big fan of teriyaki restaurants and this is some of the best stuff I have had. The home made onion kimchi was so good and the service was amazing. I will be making this a staple restaurant when I’m not in the mood to cook.“

“My friends and I went to Shinya Shokudo today and has the best time ever! Crystal our server was absolutely amazing and was very sweet! We had a million questions and every single time she was willing to answer. Our food was always very on time and even when splitting up the check she dealt with our request with no issue! 10/10 would recommend!“

“Excellent meal - the A5 Miyazaki wagyu skewer was a standout, especially with the thoughtful accompaniments and pickles that balanced the richness. The soba and udon were both satisfying and well executed. We appreciated the attention to ingredients and presentation. Beautifully decorated restaurant, great ambiance. Would happily return.“

“Best fresh fish (sashimi) and an incredible environment for food & fun“

“Sumo Teriyaki is low-key dining that mainly focuses on take-out.

I've tried the chicken teriyaki, sumo fire teriyaki, and the beef bowl. All are flavorful, without being douced in sauce, and the ingredients taste fresh.“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“The best teriyaki in town and the customer service is amazing“

“Underrated Teriyaki and Korean food restaurant with easy take out. Best teriyaki on Rainier and perhaps in town. The only fault that it is closed on Sundays. Quite delicious food options. This is the place you want to go for a delicious meal.“

“Their high quality tonkatsu reminds me of my home, Japan. I go there every chance I get. The staff is very friendly and nice. Highly recommend.“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“Spicy chicken and pineapple is on point!“

“Excellent in all areas. As long time Seattle-Sunny fan, I'm glad this one is here and open on Sunday. Tasty, just right spicy chicken teriyaki. Quality salad in separate container for takeout. Friendly staff. Fast. Clean dining room. Good food safety rating. Clean and stocked bathrooms.“

“10/10 great experience + food. The service was the best, especially being helped by Tristan, the manager who helped with this location. He engaged us in a fun n friendly game of number guessing, we talked about football teams and came to a consensus agreement about Raiders being our least favorite haha, the SB halftime show, and overall he delivered such excellent customer service. It was refreshing to receive great service + energy like this, with seldom customer service like this nowadays it seems. Going back to this place a second consecutive night!!“

“If I was not a teriyaki fan I would still come here because all of the food is not just excellent but perfect. The flavor is explosive, and the price is extremely reasonable. The service was on point, and I could not have asked for a better place to bring my family. For a premium meal, it was more than a pleasant experience. I'm not lying when I say this is the best teriyaki you can find in the greater Seattle area. I met the owner, and he was one of the nicest people I have met in the food industry. Thanks for the great meal!“

“Stopped by with my family on the way home from a trip. There are almost no options for decent teriyaki where I live, and I am so thankful I decided to gamble on this place because they did not disappoint. The food was wonderful, and so was the woman that took our orders and served us. This place proves once again that Western WA has the best teriyaki in the US.“

“I'm a very hard person to impress, so very rarely do I give a 5 star for any business The food here is very good and this is high quality teriyaki. Only reason for a 4 star instead of a 5 star is because I specifically asked for my food to be made a certain way and they forgot to do it like I requested. I was too hungry to ask for a do over. I understand they can get very busy so make sure you specify and speak clearly and make sure the person taking your order is listening to you and acknowledging what you order otherwise, they might make a mistake. As can be expected with any business. This is one of my go to choices for teriyaki in the neighborhood“

“If you live in Renton or in northern Kent, this Teriyaki shop is amazing. The food is worth every penny, which isn't pricey at all. By the way, one of the only teriyaki shops that gives you a different kind of Salad dressing, and not the same thousand island type of dressing.“

“First time at Toshi's Teriyaki Bellevue. Our group had a sampling of several menu items including the half chicken, the beef skewers, the shrimp skewers, teriyaki chicken & Yakisoba, potstickers and eggrolls. All were very quick to be prepared and yummy. Staff was super friendly.“

“Good food as always. we ate there with my co-workers for lunch today and it was so good i have to go back to buy some for dinner to take home.“

“Variety of rolls to choose from. We ordered Godzilla roll & Super Dragon roll. Both tasted great and affordably priced too. Very friendly staffs with cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“Good food and good staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will be back!“

“I used to eat here when I worked in the area. It’s been years, yet I still missed the chirashi that they were kind enough to let me customize. Coming back, it feels the same except for their great new electronic payment system.

The hamachi is still some of the best I’ve had. They use plain scallops, a difficult thing to find at many sushi restaurants, and they offer ikura as an upgrade.

I’d rather drive here than settle for the typical rolls I’d find elsewhere. Still the best value for quality sushi that I’ve found anywhere in the USA.“

“I’m Japanese and usually spend half the year in the U.S. and the other half in Japan. This time, I have to stay in the U.S. for over a year, and I’ve honestly been feeling homesick almost every day. But after eating the tempura bowl here, my homesickness eased a little.

We often go out for sushi or try other Japanese restaurants. Sushi is usually okay, but when it comes to other Japanese food, the only place we’ve consistently liked is Kizuki Ramen—and even there, only the ramen and karaage stand out. It’s been hard to find a place where you can enjoy a variety of authentic Japanese dishes at a reasonable price and with great quality.

So my husband and I were genuinely impressed and touched to find this restaurant. After a really disappointing experience at a late-night Japanese restaurant near Bellevue recently, discovering this place made us so happy. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“One of the best take out Teriyaki Chicken I have had. We will definitely be back for more.“

“Could only show 10 of the 25 dishes served! Becoming my favorite omakase in the Seattle area!“

“This is such a hidden gem. My best friend and I have been here a few times and the food is delicious. We've decided that next time we are going from front to back on the menu until we try everything... because all that we have ordered so far has been wonderful. The dragon roll, ahi tuna salad, and the pokemon roll have been favorites.“

“I first visited Ono Teriyaki in 1996 while working nearby for a while I got lunch there at least 3 days a week. It's always been good food and good customer service at a good price. It's no wonder that after 3 decades they are still there.“

“Provide high-quality local ingredients and creative dishes, with a comfortable atmosphere and attentive service.“

“Cool concept, great execution and flavors.“

“I've been eating at Kami Teriyaki for years, and it's my go-to place for General Tao's Chicken and other dishes. So tasty!

Yes, like all restaurants their prices have skyrocketed and portion sizes aren't huge, but that's pretty normal everywhere now so I can't fault them for it. They solved the parking problem for pick-up, which is great (there are reserved spots for their restaurant).

Last I checked they switched sauces for their spicy chicken teriyaki and the new sauce isn't good, but all of their other food is great.“

“Cozy place to enjoy Teriyaki.
Good delicious teriyaki plus other menu items

Nice friendly service.

Higher prices than average, but we are in this gorgeous nice city of Bellevue, every thing here in every where is expensive. Nothing cheap. Nothing has reasonable price.

But here the Portions are good.

Convenient place
Near QFC.
Large parking lot.“

“Bistro is one of the best. Always friendly service, good size portions and extra sauce in take out containers. The salad is more of a coleslaw, and packed in, not a few leaves of iceberg and the dressing light and delicious. The teriyaki sauce is light and flavorful. I prefer a darker thicker style, but this is a solid alternate. And the garlic sauce? It’s what they’re known for! Addicting and it’s great in every bite whether salad, rice, or any teriyaki on the menu. Bring a bottle home and use on everything there too. Fountain Coke is a nice option and hits also. A must try in Issaquah“

“Bro, i eat teriyaki all over western WA and this is one of my favorite spicy chicken teriyaki’s Ive ever had. It slaps, smoky char, juicy, great sauce. So lucky we have great teriyaki in western wa!! Price is on the higher side, but I don’t even care, its so tasty“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing 🍜 noodles…. Lovely ambience,I loved the taste and want to go again and again to this place….rated 5⭐️“

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

“Overall, it was a great experience. We had to get up to find the server for steak k ives and again for spoons for the dessert we ordered. Since the party was large a 20% gratuity was added but it would be nice for the service to reflect the gratuity. The hibachi chef did a good job keeping us entertained. They did a nice birthday celebration for the birthday boy.“

“Drove by a million times before finally giving it a try. It's tucked in so easy to miss but worth the stop. Food was excellent, counter service. Expansive menu, you name it (within the teriyaki genre) they got it, including yakisobas, stir frys, etc. Excellent food served quickly, reasonable prices ( for these days).
Environment is nothing fancy. Take away or a few seats, but it works.“
