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.“

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

“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.“

“Teriyaki is obviously delicious at this spot, but what sets it apart is the service: I ordered one lunch special but they saw that I was with a friend and they automatically gave me a free extra plate of rice so I could share my huge portion of teriyaki! Truly amazing place that I highly recommend. It’s also close to the light rail so that’s another plus“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Mailei was very helpful and super sweet. Came in for lunch during our shift and she really hooked it up. The meal not only hit the spot, it fueled us for the day ahead! She was amazing and the food was fantastic! Thank you for the Kimchi onions!“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“the menu is unique and set apart from every other burger restaurant. food is incredible, prices are great, staff is great, restaurant is clean and inviting. 5/5 love this place!“

“There is true joy in a calming meal. There is even greater joy in a cozy late night meal. We're greatly looking forward to our next visit, and I would like to say an extra thank you to Kim, who was refreshingly enthusiastic and kind. I hope my more exhausted maner didn't seem like I was disappointed in my meal. I was very pleased and inspired, Shinya Shokudō is definitely worth gate keeping to be sure but joy is best shared. Thank you again for a lovely and refreshing meal.“

“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“

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

“Food was good. Service was good, but their QR code ordering system was really bad. We couldn't order individually in the app, and had to submit one order as a table. We had to seperate all our orders afterwards with the waitress, and ended up just splitting the bill down the middle.“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“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.“

“I've never had udon before, but this place came highly recommended from a friend who has been to Japan a couple of times. I was not disappointed! The noodles were fresh and delicious; I stuck with the tonkatsu broth I'm familiar with from ramen places, and it was excellent too. I would say don't be afraid to go for the large portion, I came hungry and with that and a couple of (sides? toppings?) like the zucchini and the potato croquette I was in dining heaven. I want to go back as soon as I can!“

“a must visit not just sushi we came here every morning for a amazing English breakfast at a great price 7.50 euros for a big full breakfast or smaller one 4.50 euros,also do sandwiches 🥪 with fries ect best food around at sea front opposite the hand ✋️ 😋 highly recommended and I do alot of reviews big thanks terry and vanessa from the uk“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Spicy chicken and pineapple is on point!“

“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.“

“I eat my teriyaki at the one Toshi operates himself in Mill Creek. I believe his son operates this one. This is the definitive teriyaki place in the US. Amazing.“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“My go to place! Parking is never an issue, which makes stopping by super easy, and it's so convenient since it's close to my work. Their food is consistently good and the cashier and the rest of the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. It's always a great experience and I highly recommend checking this place out.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“ほんまに美味しかったです。皆さん仮装していらっしゃって楽しいディナーでした。❤️🎃“

“Amazing and authentic Japanese sandwiches! I recommend them all!“

“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.“

“This was the first time we visited and it was delicious 😋. The atmosphere was great, the staff was super friendly and the food was perfection. There is a lot of variety to choose from. We had a great experience and will be back to try even more sushi rolls.“

“Everyone loves their karaage chicken...huge servings! They also have the best Tom Kha...the flavor is spot on! Pad See Ew, drunken noodles, etc are all wonderful. Portions are large & prices are reasonable. But, biggest reason I keep returning is their terrific staff...just the nicest people!“

“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.“

“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“

“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'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.“

“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.“
