18 Best Japanese Restaurants in Renton

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

“I think the ownership has changed recently and honestly, the food tastes even better now! The chicken is perfectly grilled, the teriyaki sauce is richer and more flavorful, and the portions are still huge. Everything feels fresher and more balanced than before. The new team seems to be doing an amazing job. Definitely my favorite teriyaki spot around! 🍱🔥“

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

“Thank you so much Chopstick Teriyaki for making my day :)

I ordered over the phone for orange chicken. I asked if it tasted like oranges and she said no, but she through in an orange LOL! I had a good laugh and a bright day, thank you“

“Sushi Today is amazing. I used Grubhub to order from them, which was a mistake. Long story short, I never got my food. One of the team members called me to see if I got my food which I said no and they were so kind and gracious, they told me exactly what to do with GrubHub so that I could get my order.

I had my order within 10/15 minutes of that phone call. There was a sweet apology note which was completely unneeded. And most importantly their food was so good so delicious I will be back and I will be ordering directly from their restaurant.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great people that work here, they remember me and that makes me feel important. The food is great and they have good music going on a rotating schedule.
Another trip today and of course the food was great. The owner greets everyone that walks in with a smile and asks how you are doing.“

“We will be back! Some of the freshest sushi we have had in a while in the south end. Reasonably priced and good portions. Service was super friendly and so fast. Food came out very quickly. We were checked in on multiple times.
Right when we sat we were offered a warm cloth and complimentary miso soup.
Rainbow roll had very fresh fish on top, Jumping Ebi had great texture , Monkey Brain had a lot of avocado, and the Spicy Tuna wasn’t overly seasoned and had good flavor.“

“So I ordered chicken teriyaki from Buck’s Teriyaki through DoorDash, thinking I’d have a nice, quiet dinner at home. What I didn’t expect was a box the size of a small suitcase to show up at my door. I almost tipped the driver extra for what must have been a heavy-lifting fee.

The food itself? Incredible. The chicken was juicy, drenched in this heavenly teriyaki sauce that I swear made me drool before I even opened the container. The rice? They gave me enough to survive an apocalypse. I’m not exaggerating when I say I ate for 20 minutes and barely made a dent. It felt like the meal was multiplying every time I put my fork down.

And don’t get me started on the leftovers—I’ve got teriyaki for days. Honestly, I’m considering sharing with my neighbors, or maybe starting a food drive.

Verdict: Deliciously excessive. Order if you’re hungry—or hosting a party. Or, you know, both.“

“Great food and quick service“

“Good Teriyaki, pretty simple and straight forward. I feel like it’s hard to mess up teriyaki but you never know. It came with a little side salad. Teriyaki chicken, Teriyaki beef and shrimp combo they were both good. Surprised that the shrimp came on a screwer with pineapples but it was good. Only a few pieces tho. Kinda worth it depends if you really like shrimp. Overall pretty decent place. Nothing to rave about but also nothing to complain about.

Vegetarian options: Not very many vegetarian plates.“

“I drove around during my lunch break yesterday and decided to give this place a try. Overall, the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the sashimi set, which came with complimentary miso soup, I believe. The portion was more than enough for me. Everything was fresh and delicious—I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!“

“I go here very often and every time the food is so great and so consistent. Always amazing. The Teryaki sauce is some of the best sauce I have ever had, so much so that I always order extra. The lady who runs it is so nice and always so pleasant and happy. Gets my order right every time. You must come here, you will not be disappointed.“

“Pad Sew Ew is delicious! Especially with shrimp or beef. Wide noodles are delicious and huge portions! Waitress is very nice, pretty, and prompt. My fav thai spot.“

“I ordered pickup today and everything I got was great portion sizes, delicious and well packed and presented. The container of chicken fried rice was a HUGE portion and really good with lots of chicken. The beef ramen was really good with plenty of beef and noodles. The service was friendly and the man who handed off my food made sure that the bag was tight secure and even happily gave me another bag when I requested it. Great service. Big portions. Well worth the money and time.“

“Friendly Service and excellent Teriyaki of various kinds!“

“My friend orders from here all the time and we decided we get some take out. I got a big bento box with beef teriyaki and chicken breast teriyaki. This is the best teriyaki I have ever had!! Now, any other place just pales in comparison. Both the beef and the chicken teriyaki were perfect, tender with just the right amount of sauce. The sauce is a perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the meat is covered in sauce, but not drowning in sauce. There was enough food for 4 meals on that platter and it was as enjoyable reheated as it was fresh. I will be eating here again and again!“
