Japanese Restaurants near Sammamish

“After eating here once, I'm definitely coming back. We ordered the beef yakisoba and spicy chicken as well as an extra side of rice. Me and my brother were both excited by the fact that the yakisoba came with its own rice as well. As for the spicy chicken, it was dry but came with extra sauce, so I couldn't really tell. And the meat portions were very generous. There was also a side of teriyaki sauce on both plates. Overall, great food and service. The casher was very sweet.“

““We dined in, and the sushi was very tasty — highly recommend! The only downside was that we waited 20 minutes for glasses of water and 50 minutes for the food to arrive. It seems they are short-staffed for both serving tables and handling takeout. The girl was working alone and managing everything.”“

“Prices did go up a bit since I last came here but MAN the quality never changed. The lady in front is as nice as ever and they have lunch specials from 11 to 2! Not only that students get a free drink!? I was absolutely ravenous today so I finished a whole Mongolian beef on my own but the portion sizes are so big you can take some home. If you haven't been here hit it up next time you're in Sammamish. Lots of love ❤️“

“This has become our favorite teriyaki place. The location is clean and welcoming, the food is great quality and portions are very generous.
We love the whole set up, the soup every customer is entitled to when purchasing an entree is delicious!!!“

“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!!“

“Simple, delicious teriyaki at a great price. Can’t beat the chicken and gyoza special for a quick dinner. Wife and I tried it on a whim when we moved out to Woodinville. Won’t go anywhere else now. She LOVES the spicy ramen. Also the couple who run it are absolutely wonderful. Give them some buisness!“

“This place is awesome for Japanese food in downtown Issaquah! The owner’s super friendly and runs everything himself, which makes it feel extra personal. Great prices for tasty, no-frills dishes you won’t usually find around here. Don’t come expecting fancy, just solid, delicious food.“

“The atmosphere and service are great. The food itself is good but could be slightly adjusted.

We ordered a tonkatsu and gyudon.

The tonkatsu was cooked well but lacked a bit of sauce. Portion size is appropriate, and overall flavor was delicious.

The gyudon was a bit tough. The beef was a little bit thicker than standard and was a bit overcooked. The rice was a little dry, but we did come in late in the evening, so that's not a major surprise.

Overall, it's a good experience, and we'll try coming back, but a bit earlier in the day.“

“Incredible experience - we reserved the November bar seating for our anniversary, and every dish was both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. Eating at the bar was especially unique, as we could watch the chef make everything right in front of us! We also really liked the 3 Sake flight. A great place for kaiseki on the east side.“

“Their fish is of superior quality compared to other Japanese restaurants in this area. I used to live in Japan for a long time so when I feel like eating Japanese food I always go to this one. I am a routine customer and I always order their salmon box, which they remember every time.“

“I had the una-gyu don rice bowl and a side of takoyaki. The unagi was alright, i will do without it next time. The beef was good! The takoyaki was odd, it was very pasty/doughy... not sure if it wasn't cooked all the way or if that's just how they are.“

“Amazing food and a wide variety of must haves for a delicious night out.I thought it was really reasonably priced and definitely a hidden gem!! Will be coming back!! The vibe is sit down but more casual than the next door restaurant.

You have to try it!!“

“Food is always amazing! Great quality and price and is a hidden gem in Factoria. We drive over from Seattle or make sure to pick it up on our way home from running errands on the Eastside.

“I cannot rate this place high enough. The food is always fresh, the portions are huge and the staff is INCREDIBLE! I had misplaced a receipt from months ago for business purposes and the team there was able to track down my receipt swiftly and HAPPILY.
Food 10/10, customer service 10/10, what more can you ask for???“

“Tried the chicken bowl for the first time and wow — easily some of the best grilled teriyaki I’ve had, period. The chicken was charred to perfection, full of flavor, and juicy. The white rice was cooked just right — soft, fluffy, and a perfect match for the teriyaki. On top of that, the service was fast and super friendly. I totally get why this place has such high ratings. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Possibly the best teriyaki you will find anywhere! I have been coming here for almost 13 years. The place is clean and well take care of. They've had the same employees for years so you know they take care of their workers. The food is very high quality, huge portions, and the service is fast, friendly, and very efficient. Tony and Grace are great people and really take pride in running a great restaurant.“

“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.“

“This place gives a good amount of food for the price and it tastes great too. The staff are kind and sweet. Best Teriyaki place I’ve been to.

Kid-friendliness: The staff had no issues cleaning up a water spill from a family with two little kids and even gave the kids lollipops after they finished!“

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

“Teriyaki Bliss in the Autumn Sun

While walking home on a lovely fall afternoon, I stumbled upon a charming little teriyaki place that seemed to scream, “Eat outside while you still can!” Naturally, I obliged.

I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, and wow! It was like a warm hug from a long-lost friend. The chicken, grilled to perfection, bathed in a sweet-savory sauce, had my taste buds doing the cha-cha. The rice was fluffy, and the veggies were fresh enough to make you think they just jumped off a farmer's market table—if I knew what that looked like, of course.

As I savored my meal, the sun beamed down, and I had to fend off some curious squirrels who clearly believed my bowl was their next treasure. I perfected my “I will not share” face—an impressive masterpiece, if I do say so myself.

Overall, this teriyaki spot is a must-visit for a delightful meal that pairs perfectly with the last sunny days of fall. Just make sure to bring your sense of humor and maybe a jacket for when the sun sets and the squirrels start plotting! ???️“

“This restaurant was pretty decent. The only reason I took one star off is that my Chicken Yakisoba was VERY heavy on veggies … I feel like there was more veggies that noodles and I wasn’t paying $18 for mostly veggies. The flavors were good, service was casual - you order at the counter it’s not really full service establishment.“

“I ordered party size teriyaki and it was very delicious, juicy and flavorful. My families and guest were so happy and enjoyed the food. Staff was very courteous and kind. I will definitely recommend this place. I definitely return to this place.“

“Extremely clean and cozy environment, beyond impeccable customer service, not only was I warmly greeted with a smile and given the absolute best customer service, I watched the lady behind the counter give every single customer the exact same kindness and warmth. She was so sweet to everyone, making sure they enjoyed their meal after they finished, offering extra sauces and sides, showing everyone the best ways to eat your dish and what things go best with each dish. I think my favorite part about her was how genuinely excited she gets when people like the food, you can tell it just makes her really happy. She noticed I was pregnant and gave me a bit of extra kimchi, I swear she literally made my day. I always DoorDash from this location but whenever I do come in it’s the same service everytime even from the guy who works the counter sometimes too, everyone I’ve encountered here is so warm and friendly. Which is something that’s seriously lacking in a lot of restaurants nowadays. Thank you to the Team at Toshi’s Factoria location for never failing to feed me amazing food and put a smile on my face.“

“My mom had brag about their Yakisoba and wanted to go again the very next day and for me to experience their meal. Their Chicken Yakisoba was the best I had ever tasted, very flavorful and a huge portion with a side of rice. Also comes wirh their soup which was also delicious. My mom enjoyed her shrimp yakisoba for the 2nd time in a row. In fact we both ordered 2 more to go. Their service was outstanding and courteous. I will definitely back to dry their other dishes. Also they are open 7 days a week which is a plus. Their price is very reasonable and provides you with huge portion and excellent quality food.“

“I have been here twice now. The 2nd time was my redemption to order the chirashi bowl. Honestly for ~$16+ it's worth it. I thought the fish was super fresh and it came out so fast. I mis-oredered my first time here and I really DO NOT recommend anything besides the chirashi bowl. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!!!

It was quite warm in the restaurant as most places in WA don't have AC so I recommend taking it to go.“

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

“Very friendly service~ however after I have wanted teriyaki for so long, the teriyaki chicken I got here was discontinued. Rice is not fully cooked, chicken was dry. I hope it was just because I went to get togo 30 minutes before their closing time. One thing that I want to mention is they don’t intend to get tips, when I pay I was waiting to get the machine to turn back to me for adding the tips, but not, he only asked if I need a receipt. Give 4 stars because of that, especially for nowadays every restaurant is demanding high tips even for take out.“

“Their spicy pork is mouth watering delicious! Definitely the best teriyaki in the area, gotta try it!“

“When we arrived, we were told there would be a twenty-minute wait, and it was definitely worth it. The restaurant was clean, the service was efficient and friendly, and the food was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and presented with a unique touch.

We ordered the pork gyozas, Philly roll, Spider roll, and California roll.

I recommend calling ahead for a table if you’re planning to visit on a busy weekend evening.“

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

“We accidently found this restaurant and so glad we did. The food was exceptional and very inexpensive for the quality and service. The beef bulgogi pot stickers and tempura prawns were the best we have found in WA yet. Even though I am not a fan of spicy food - the Rose Combo (sorry I forgot the name) was the best flavor I have ever had. Thank you! We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I have eaten here for years and years and years, sure its not the prettiest place in the world but my dad has moved to puyallup and makes me bring him beef teriyaki every time i see him. Never had better teriyaki (and ive gone to many others). Chicken katsu is fantastic as well. I will mourn the day when this place closes/changes owners.“

“Not only is the crispy rice and tuna, pork belly bun, and ramen delicious but they are also life savers. My best friend started choking and one of the employees came and gave her the Heimlich maneuver. Thank you for helping her! I tried to tip the employee and he refused. Really thank you. I know everyone’s adrenaline through the roof!“

“Birthday hibachi never disappoints! Got lucky and had a table to ourself, VIP. The food was delicious, highly suggest the fried rice and shrimp/steak combo! The chief and entire staff were quite welcoming and made the experience fun. Be prepared to do a birthday dance followed by ice cream to finish the night!“

“The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal! This was so good!“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“I don’t usually write reviews, as you can probably tell from my non-review status, but this Jumbo Chicken Teriyaki Box has completely changed the game for me. As someone who travels frequently for work and eats on the go, I was not only surprised but genuinely in awe of the simple yet incredible meal that was delivered to my less-than-glamorous hotel room in Seatle.

When I say "simple," I don’t mean it in a negative way—rather, it was simply perfect. The chicken, the salad—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I was so impressed that I feel compelled to tell others: Order from here now, and often!

It’s been two weeks since I left Seattle, and I’ve thought about this meal at least 35 times since returning home. This place is a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to get back to the West Coast so I can dine here again. For what it’s worth, I ordered from them both nights of my stay in Seattle. Highly recommend!“

“Great location , parking is across the main drive in the big parking lot. Watch out for speeding cars. Lots of parking, but not near by.
Food tastes good

The beef is tender,and the chicken is juicy,and tender

Good portions of meat
They have been there for a very long time.
They are good. Friendly. Welcoming. Especially if you get to meet the owner

Very nice modern clean dine in lounge

Great menu with lots of options“

“Bento-ya Goemon Authentic Japanese food....been looking for good Japanese food close by! So very glad we found this take-out restaurant! I had the Salmon Bento box, cooked perfectly moist & lightly seasoned....everything freshly made! I definitely will be back! 5 star Rating!“

“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 definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“best sushi/japanese.in issaquah. Great food, service and amazing rolls.“

“This was my gf and I 1st time eating here and let me tell you it was soooo good! We will definitely be frequenting this place. Thank you guys for dinner 5⭐s“

“Only thing I'll complain about, is no vegetarian kimchi*** served (no fish sauce, anchovies, squid ink) with the bbq short ribs or korean kalbi beef [exquisite job to chefs]!

Sushi, on the other spectrum- all was delicious; between my little sister (which was visiting from Montana), our mother filled up on miso soups, 2 yellowtail, 2 spider rolls of the 6 & the salad n white rice...

Hopefully, next time visiting- vegetarian Kimchi will be an option, even if $7 charge for all you can have while dining 😉 !

“I have never had a problem there. When my dad mom and I stop in when we hang out they are super nice. They know us by are names. If I forgot to call all I need to do show my face and come back in 15. I think the new owners are really nice I can stand there if not busy and talk.“

“This is my go-to teriyaki place. Is it a tiny little hole in the wall with limited seating? Yes. But the food is amazing and the people are super nice. They offer generous portions, and the ingredients are clearly fresh and high quality. Spicy chicken is bomb, beef teriyaki is delicious, but the crispy garlic chicken is really where it's at. Big pieces of meat with no gristle whatsoever. So so so good.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp“

“Reasonably Priced; Outstanding Sushi!😋 Oh, and the FRIENDLY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE was very appreciated.“

“Wow, these guys give you a lot of food. I got the spicy chicken teriyaki, and it came with two scoops of rice (variant two bowls), salad, and a ton of chicken. The chicken is fairly good, and a tad mild (pretty common with spicy teriyaki). The rice and the salad were decent, but i can tell they were made fairly fresh, too. I would day that a single order can serve maybe 2 people, but if you're really hungry or just able to eat a lot, this is maybe enough. It's a good value for what you pay. Even the sides are pretty big, as I got a side of broccoli, and I'm pretty sure they have me a medium sized bowl worth of broccoli.

Overall, happy to go again to try more items.“

“This is one of my go to places when I don't want to get food at work. I believe its a family owned business. My favorite is the regular teriyaki chicken. Food comes out freshly made, hot and the teriyaki sauce is the perfect balance of sweet. Usually do takeout as the lobby isn't the biggest but you can eat in. Very conveniently located by the Microsoft Studios. Way better than the chicken available on campus.“

“Sushi was amazing. Service was quick! Highly recommend.“
