50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Shoreline

“Very good food. Service was wonderful“

“I just came to Seattle for vacation and was suddenly in mood for good chicken teriyaki. I searched and found this store and drove 15 miles. Oh my god. It’s a gem. Really this is probably one of the top most teriyaki I ever had. I own restaurant and I a am foodie. I guarantee this quality of just a simple teriyaki is not easy to get in top class sushi joints also. Humble setup and awesome food. Even the tempura and roll was good too. The boba tea wasn’t that great but who cares.“

“This is literally the best teriyaki around! I'm so happy I found this place.. I literally devoured the plate! and saved the restaurant in my maps. Sorry I was so into eating that I forgot to take a picture but i promise you if you get a chicken yakisoba you will not be disappointed“

“Great Pork Fried Rice at a very reasonable price. Portions are generous.“

“This place is seriously amazing! The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. The rolls are great too! The owner is a true food professional. you can really tell. The portions are very generous as well. You definitely have to try the food here!“

“excellent food! the proprietor bought this place a couple of years ago, but I've been eating his teriyaki for 15+ years at his other restaurant before he sold it. he knows his craft.“

“I love Sushi Kappo Tamura and Taichi!! I have a hard time eating sushi anywhere else.“

“A very nice experience today with nice service and nice ambience. I'm not a big sushi fan but there are many other nice options too here. 5 out of 5.“

“Best sushi. Joe is an exceptional sushi chef. His support staff are incredible. Vintage stereo equipment and vinyl records on the walls. Don’t miss out.“

“My new favorite sushi spot! I cannot get enough of it. I love the crispy rice with salmon or tuna. The fish tastes so fresh. I can’t believe I didn’t go sooner. The staff is great and so nice and welcoming. It’s truly a great spot for lunch or dinner.“

“excellent sushi! everything was fresh and delicious! highly recommend checking them out!“

“Nice place,good service,good food“

“One of the best sushi restaurants I’ve been part of!“

“We tried 8 items and every single one was delicious. The New York roll was incredible. I had something that starts with a Y I forgot the name of (w/ tempura shrimp and spicy crab salad) and I could've eaten three. My kids liked their NY and spicy tuna rolls so much that they ordered seconds. The ramen bowl was petite enough that I could eat it plus two rolls (and share a dessert) and not explode, be super satisfied. The ramen was $6.95, fancy rolls were $8.95, edamame $2.95, and wine $6. The ube cheesecake, OMG. Unbelievable. I cannot believe how delicious this was for the price. Also, service was 👌Very kid friendly. I cannot wait to come back!“

“A great spot for authentic kaiseki in Seattle. The dishes are creative and the presentation is thoughtful, extending to the beautiful ceramics and plating. It’s a quiet, intimate space that’s perfect for a focused meal or a date. Service was excellent and professional. They apply an automatic 20% service charge but don’t ask for tips on top of that, which simplifies the end of the meal. I’m looking forward to returning.“

“Foodies, this is a must try if you are ever in the area. Most sushi houses have a hard time getting Uni, but we had 4 dishes with fresh Uni in it. You won't regret it.“

“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.“

“This was, without a doubt, the best sushi I have ever had in my life. I would go here every day of my life if I could.“

“Service is ON POINT !!!! Food is amazing and our waitress is amazing ! We had to bring our little one last min because child care wasn’t available. But they kindly accommodate my little one and gave her some cooked sushi !!! We really appreciate it ! We definitely will come back for a different menu because their menu changes every month ! I recommend anyone coming over to try it if they want an authentic Japanese meal in Seattle !!!“

“This place is hands down the best tonkatsu spot in the Seattle area! The katsu is incredibly crispy on the outside, but perfectly juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell they use high-quality meat. The portions are great, and the atmosphere is super cozy. If you're looking for authentic, top-tier tonkatsu, Kobuta & Ookami is absolutely the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“My grandfather introduced me to Toshi's teriyaki back in the early 90s. After 3 decades of trying other teriyaki spots throughout this state, I have yet to find a better one. This is a real gem of the great northwest. thank you Toshi“

“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.“

“This is truly one of my favorite sushi restaurants. I’m originally from Japan, and my grandparents used to sell fresh fish and crab, so fresh seafood has always been something very familiar and special to me. The quality of the fish here genuinely brings back those memories, which makes each visit feel a little nostalgic and meaningful.

I especially love the nigiri, and I always look forward to seeing what seasonal selections they have whenever I visit. The fish is consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and you can really feel the care that goes into each piece.

What makes this place even more special is the people. The chefs and staff are always so kind and welcoming, and they make every visit feel warm and inviting.

There’s something about being here that reminds me of home, and that feeling is one of the reasons this restaurant has become so special to me. I’m always looking forward to coming back🙏🩵“

“Little gem! I can't wait to order again. I ordered teriyaki and gyozas which were very good, even the salad that comes with the meal was great!!! It was all well presented. It's apparent they take pride in their work. The fried chicken looks amazing. I look forward to trying one of their other dishes.
The only less favorable comment I have is only because I'm not a fan of ginger. You could taste the ginger come through in the teriyaki sauce and salad dressing, but not enough to not return. Wonderful restaurant.
UPDATE - I finally tried other dishes, General Tso and Sweet & Sour (at different times). It was so disappointing considering the teriyaki and korean fried chicken is so on point. However, these two dishes, Im not sure chicken was involved. If it was they were scraps of the chicken thighs not used for the teriyaki. I honestly believe these entrees were just all deep fried batter, no chicken. It was so hard to chew and I tasted no chicken. I won't be trying anything else. I paid $20 to eat rice. Hey- you can't be good at everything.“

“This place gets packed with dine-in and takeout during dinner time so try to plan ahead and please understand they’re working as quickly as possible. Saturday is their busiest day so please keep this in mind.

Great food. Good quick customer service.“

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“One of the best omakase experiences! The attention to detail, the techniques, the passion and craft from the entire team makes it a memorable experience. The chefs genuinely welcome feedback to always improve themselves. The chilled chawanmushi was one of my favorites. I’ve never had a chilled version before. All the flavors were balanced and well thought out.“

“Toyota Sushi is a gem in our community! As a family-owned business, they truly go above and beyond to make every visit special. Their food is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted dishes that never disappoint. The service is top-notch—always accommodating, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I've been a loyal customer for a while now, and I can confidently say I've never had a less-than-excellent experience here. If you're looking for a sushi spot that combines great food with warm, personalized service, Toyota Sushi is the place to go. Highly recommended! Five stars all the way. Ps. We love our Tia Helen ❤️“

“Delicious food, great vibe“

“Manna has the best Teriyaki and Korean in town, maybe even the whole Puget sound region!

Manna is family owned, run and operated, and they genuinely care about the quality of their food and the happiness of their customers. This place is a gem of the Seattle area and I hope they can continue serving great food and service for years to come.“

“I just want to say, I drive by this place all the time when I go run my dog in magnolia, finally stopped in. Quiet little spot but the lady taking my order was so sweet and nice, made me understand the order, because I wanted extra side of gyoza with my Teri chicken, she insisted I just do the combo. I don’t normally do combo because it usually means you get less chicken but she told me that’s not how they do it :). I was more than surprised and happy. I got a feel stack of chicken, two scoop rice (which is also rare) 6 gyoza on the side and side salad, and it was freaking delish! Want to try the katsu next. Also as a side note, the salad was so fresh.

Great stuff“

“Super clean restaurant and quick service! Most important of all, the food is phenomenal! Single best katsu curry in Lynnwood.“

“Definitely some of the better teriyaki in the area! Both the chicken and the beef are tender and nicely charred. If you get the spicy variety, I'm pretty sure they just mix some sriracha into the sauce. The gyoza is nice and crispy—not sure if it's hand-made but it could be. The sushi is decent but I'll probably stick to the teriyaki. Reasonable prices, fast service. Ordered online and it was ready in under 10 minutes.“

“Toudai Sushi & Fusion is an incredible restaurant with some of the best sushi I’ve ever had! The owners are extremely kind and friendly, and the customer service is exceptional. The sushi portions are very generous, and the flavor is perfect!

Next time, I’d like to try the bento box as that seemed very popular while I was eating. Not a very long wait, very efficient on getting folks orders out.

10/10 recommend!“

“Amazing, will go back in the next trip to Seattle“

“Placed an online order and didn’t realize how close it was to closing time. The person who packed my order was so kind, made sure everything was packed neatly, and the food was delicious. 10/0 will definitely be back again. Thank you so much 🩷“

“The store's service is attentive and the workmanship is very detailed and painstaking.“

“It was a great experience for my family. We highly recommend Sai Sushi & Sake!“

“Definitely freshest and highest quality fish in the Fremont area. Skip Fremont Bowl and come here. What especially stands out (and gives me a sense of how much they care about the food) is that the surimi, seaweed salad, and egg omelette have that homemade taste.“

“I found this place wonderful, not only were the waiters there so kind and INCREDIBLY warm, the food was transcendent! I recently went with my dad, and we both have been to japan, and at Izakaya, we both agree it took us right back to Osaka! The menu was incredible, we ordered the beef udon which had a broth that was so 3 dimensional and smokey, duck, chicken, and wagyu yakitori (ps order the wagyu it's worth it) which were cooked perfectly- and you can tell, with an expensive charcoal! As well as The udon carbonara- which was also fantastic, although personally I found it was very hearty and filling- which was great, but with the amount of food we had on the way, I couldnt eat much. But I think what was truly the star of the show we're the desserts, I tried the yuzu cheesecake and WOW! It was delicious! My dad agreed it was probably the best cheesecake he ever had! It had such a light and sweet yet tart and rich flavor, and let me tell you, I left feeling like a million dollars afterwards! One other thing I would like to point out is how quick they were- (we ordered a lot more I didn't mention) and it came out progressively I'd say by the time we were seated to the time it was in my mouth... 10 minutes? The service was great, the atmosphere was great, the food was great, and overall the next time I come back to Seattle this is the first place I'm heading!!! And you should too!!“

“Manna Deli is a teriyaki restaurant on Aurora. It's inside of a strip mall so it has a small parking lot alongside other businesses too, which is easy to get to turning off of highway 99. Inside its got a few tables to sit and eat. Their menu is a good size, with portions being great for the price. The service here is phenomenal, super friendly lady always at the front. Food is made to order, and very quickly I might add. Overall this is a great place for teriyaki or other Asian inspired meals at a great price.“

“The Salmon Bara-Chirashi Bento was quite literally the most phenomenal bento box I’ve ever had. The vibe of the restaurant was great, Japanese music, great decoration, and just felt perfect. The flavor of the rice combined with the soy sauce and salmon all summed up the perfect bowl. Totally would try again and recommended to anyone who loves themselves a good taste of Japanese cuisine.“

“Absolutely LOVE this place! Special shoutout to Brian who works there every day. I come here once, sometimes twice a week enough to be a usual. Brian is friendly and even though at times it gets busy I can see his calm demeanor and he never fails to give me great and friendly service so hopefully you get to experience that too! 💪

FOOD: My favorite go to is the General Tsao's Chicken and the serving is enough for me to keep leftovers for dinner😋

I am so proud of the growth of this place and excited to see what else is in store! Definitely worth the visit ✨“

“Fantastic quality and portion sizes. Some of the best chicken and beef Teryaki I’ve had. It’s incredibly fresh with a smokiness and you can tell the owners really care about the taste of their food. Nice people as well. My go to spot from now on.“

“Must go spot. Super delicious hidden gem spot for convenient and fast Korean and Japanese takeout! The ladies who run this place are so sweet and friendly and add lots of filling to their gimbaps! Highly recommend their galbi gimbap and katsu curry which was fried fresh on the spot and was steaming hot and crunchy. The galbi gimbap had the perfect combo of veggies and the galbi was cooked extremely tender.

The ambiance is so homey and feels like I’m in a nostalgic Korean drama. Really wish I had a momo bento close to where I live because I would go everyday just for their galbi gimbap. Please give the aunties a lot of business and stop by momo bento for a meal that tastes like home❤“

“I recently moved to the neighborhood and found this place quickly on. The service is always very friendly and helpful, and the food it effortlessly delicious. The restaurant itself is quaint and simple, in the perfect way that your local teriyaki should be. I recommend coming here for quick and spot-hitting food. I get the half spicy chicken teriyaki, half regular. 🤌“

“Phenomenal dinner experience at Yoshi Teriyaki.

Food wise, the chicken teriyaki arrived sizzling, with excellent temperature and texture, and a savory yet not too sweet teriyaki. The sushi also cannot be missed: my Hawaiian roll (tuna heavy) was exceptional, both the spicy tuna and tuna atop tasted fresh and the roll was well constructed and balanced.

Service was superb: my order was taken and within 5-7 minutes my food was delivered to my table. I was also checked in on several times for any concerns, of which there were none.

The restaurant itself is cutely decorated, with small details that mimics dinner spots in Japan.

I plan to come back to Yoshi Teriyaki whenever I’m in Edmonds/Everett, and I recommend you do as well.“

“I’m a foodie and am a fan of gourmet restaurants. Sakuma is one of the BEST Japanese restaurants I’ve been to-ever! I’ve lived in Japan before. Sakuma’s so good that it’s like being back in Japan. 👍🏼 Itadakimasu, Totemo Oishi!!!“

“Just went there for the Gyudon and it exceeded my expectations. It was very delicious and on the spot. Down side is nothing to do with the restaurant but parking. It is hard to find a good parking spot. However will be coming back but probably picking up the food rather than dinning in.“
