6 Best Japanese Restaurants near North Bend

“A good local teriyaki spot is invaluable to community morale !! I go here all the time, but last night I noticed they packaged my takeout with cardboard in between the boxes to make sure it survived my drive home <3 Rare and seen, thanks :)“

“We were able to get a last-minute Valentine’s Day reservation, and man am I glad we did! We got the chicken yakisoba, chicken karaage, shumai, crunch roll and shrimp tempura roll. I also got the Orchid Oolong tea, and as a tea lover, it on its own was 5 stars. Each of the dishes were the best examples of the dish we’d ever had. Can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu!“

“The chefs are all awesome... Great ambiance... love all of them.....“

“Snoqualmie Musashi doesn’t appear to be the same Musashi as the Wallingford/CID/Factoria one.

This location has salad (plain, unseasoned) in their chirashi (super weird) and is $29. Also, less fish than expected. The chirashi at the other locations have more fish. I admit tho- the fish at this location taste fresher than the other locations.“

“The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered food at the restaurant to go and waited for less than 10 minutes total. The dining room was on the smaller side, but very clean and cozy. We will definitely be back!“

“Tucked away on the Snoqualmie Ridge and just minutes from Snoqualmie Falls and the Club at Snoqualmie Ridge golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus and home to the PGA’s Boeing Classic, you will find Happily at the Bay Teriyaki. The restaurant lives up to its cheerful name with warm hospitality, spotless surroundings, and food that hits all the right notes.

From the moment we walked in, the customer service stood out, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The restaurant and restroom were impressively clean, which always sets a great tone for the meal.

Web ordered the #20, Kung Pao Chicken with a special request: deep-fried and crispy chicken with extra vegetables. Not only did they nail it, but the dish arrived with bold, balanced flavors and just the right amount of heat. The chicken was perfectly crispy without being greasy, and the vegetables were fresh and vibrant, crunchy where they should be, tender where it counts.

We also tried the Chicken Breast Teriyaki (#36 on the menu). The flavor was excellent, sweet, savory, and satisfying. While the chicken breast leaned a bit dry (as white meat sometimes does), it was still a solid dish overall and paired well with the sauce and rice.

This spot is a gem and a must try if you’re visiting the Seattle area!“
