“we ordered several items from ramen to dumplings to fried rice to chicken curry katsu and everything was absolutely amazing! the best ramen I have ever had! will be coming back as a frequent diner for sure! highly recommend!!! Lastly the staff was so on point from taking our order to checking on us through out the meal! kudos to your entire staff!!!!“

“Friendly service, food is great, plenty of selections; Korean, Chinese, and Japanese foods in one place. I had the spider roll and the Mongolian Beef. I didn’t order the combos on purpose but who knew the Japanese food and Chinese food complimented each other very well. Talking about a great service, my wife order the sesame balls for a dessert. 2 of 5 were a bit under cooked somehow. We broke them a part but didn’t eat them. One other staffs walked by and asked if we didn’t like. My wife told her those 2 seemed like they are not full cooked so we didn’t want to eat them but we are okayed. She then insisted that she asked the chef to make a fresh batch of 5 for us. This time they were perfectly cooked. I was impressed with her and felt very appreciative. I recommend this place if you like delicious food and something quick.“

“We have been there a couple of times. Everything has been excellent. Prices are comparable to other sushi restaurants in the area. Our only complaint is the tea is a bit week. Still deserves 5 stars.“

“My Husband and i eat here nearly once every week. The owner Yoko is inviting and friendly. The food is very delicious! Itadakimasu!~ Many thanks for the wonderful meals, Always worth it! My favorites: + Pan Fried gyoza; delicious,crispy, perfect. + My husband orders the Miso soup, It's the most flavorful miso we have tried. + My husband loves the curry ramen, I always enjoy sipping some of the broth too! very flavorful and warming. (I think they used to be called I <3 Curry! So this fusion is wonderful!) + Okonomiyaki; beautiful and delicious. +Tonkatsu Curry is very delicious! i order this the most +Curry pork fried rice special over the summer is very delicious! I always ask if they'll still make it for me.(and am very grateful when they do!)“

“Amazingly generous place. Great service regardless of dine in or take out. They took care of our order to go and blessed us with miso soup that we didn't order. Very giving restaurant. Recommend them highly. I've never had a bad meal from them. Golden Gate is one of my favorites.“

“Best take out Teriyaki on the hill. The food is Amazing & Affordable and the staff is Outstanding and so Polite. We love this place“

“The sushi was pretty good, presentation was very good, service was also very good. The miso soup was on point and the salad dressing was outstanding. The tea was also very good.
The owner was super friendly and nice almost felt like we were in Japan.“

“my son told me to try the tonkatsu ... and he was absolutely tastier and juicier right👍👍“

“Super calm and quiet little hole in the wall teriyaki joint. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and the little tucked away places like these are always the best! And I was not disappointed! The fried rice was some of the best I've ever had, Tempura shrimp and gyoza seemed very fresh and super flavorful and crispy. I got the Mongolian Beef as my main dish and while it seemed like it was missing something, maybe it wasn't as saucy as I'm used to at other places, but who knows this could be the traditional way to make it so I won't jump to conclusions. It was still very delicious though!

The only little downside is that I wish the meal portion sizes were a little larger. But other than that, service was very kind, it seems like this lovely older man and woman running the shop all by themselves. I had walked in to tonight get a to-go order tonight and was probably waiting a little less than or around 10 minutes, this was a Saturday night too. The place wasn't very busy, but I think it definitely deserves more attention. I will be coming here again!“

“This place never disappoints. The service is great and the food is amazing 💖“

“I have always loved this place. The food and service have always been wonderful and delicious. The other day I was having an issue with Door Dash. I called to let them know. I was not mad. I just wanted them to know about it. The guy that answered the phone is the guy that is always there. He is amazing. He personally delivered my order and he did it with a big smile. Thank you so much for caring so much. You are amazing.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this teriyaki shop, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere.First and foremost, the food was absolutely delicious. I got spicy chicken teriyaki and general tso's chicken. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. Whether you're a fan of chicken, beef, or tofu, they have something for everyone. The teriyaki sauce was perfectly balanced, not too sweet or too salty, just right.What really blew me away was the speed of their service. Despite the bustling lunch rush, my order was ready in record time. It's evident that they prioritize efficiency without compromising on quality. Whether you're dining in or taking out, you won't have to wait long to satisfy your cravings.In addition to their tasty food and quick service, the prices are very reasonable, making it a great option for a satisfying meal that won't break the bank.Overall, I highly recommend this teriyaki shop to anyone craving delicious Japanese cuisine served with lightning-fast service. I'll definitely be returning for more soon!“

“I have been a customer for over 35 years. Never ever have I experienced a better Sushi restaurant. I adore the owners. Fresh amazing food.“

“The music is nice, and the sushi bar has a beautiful light grain wood stain. They add garnish and floral decorations to their dishes which is a nice touch on presentation. Staff are sweet and respectful.
I enjoyed eating here and the gentleman behind the counter let me know they've been here for almost a year which was a pleasant surprise. It's nice to see a traditional style sushi bar in Bonney Lake.“

“The short ribs were really good. Super tender and full of flavor. I thought they’d be expensive, but the prices felt fair, especially considering how everything’s gone up lately.

I also tried one of the wok dishes, and it was tasty. If you like chicken, they’ve got a few solid options worth checking out. Overall, a nice spot. I’d come back again.“

“Wow! The food was so delicious! The place looks so clean! Love the service! Definitely going there again!!“

“I tried Okasan Teriyaki with a friend. I had the Spicy Teriyaki, and it was pleasantly spicy without being too hot.

The salad was good, and the dressing was a little different from other Teriyaki spots I've been to, but good. The portion size was decent, and the rice was excellent.

My friend had Chicken Teriyaki, and he said it was excellent. If I was in the area and wanted Teriyaki, I would consider coming back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had an amazing dinner at Iron Chef! Our chef, Issac, was not only incredibly talented but also made the whole experience fun and engaging from start to finish. What really stood out was how attentive the entire staff was—after dinner, Daniel noticed us taking photos and came over to offer to take a group shot for us. Such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture! The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely coming back!“

“My favorite chicken teriyaki place in town! The owners are absolutely sweet hearts and very hard workers. It’s always fast and very fairly priced. I can also tell the actual chicken is a higher quality than some of the other places in town which taste like it’s from a can. I eat her 2X a week and have never been disappointed“

“chat ts is awesome my dude. The girl at the front very friendly and the food is obviously good. Very friendly towards customers. I always get my UTENSILS because I ASK for them. ☺️
I don’t mind paying 50 cents for the sauces, it’s not a lot of money unless you’re broke. I enjoy the atmosphere whenever i’m in there, very calm and enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place ☺️“

“We love sushi and this place did not disappoint 😊“

“Shari is the best !!!! I love her service she made me feel welcomed and had a big smile . I was comfortable and. Tipped her very well. If anyone need a raise is for her compassion at work !!! Let’s Go SHARI !!!!“

“The people running this restaurant are so sweet and kind. This visit, I got beef teriyaki and Thai tea. It hit the spot. I went at an off-peak time, so I had the dining room to myself.

I've had their crab Rangoon in the past. It has always hit the spot when I am craving it.“

“Excellent food here.Kung pao chicken was fried perfectly and a great combination of sweet and spicy. Just like my Chinese mother in law makes.Chicken teriyaki has a grilled taste and was also excellent.Portions are large.Extra teriyaki sauce at the table, so you can add extra sauce and flavor.The egg roll was massive and delicious.The kids meal is also an excellent value and delicious.“

“I haven’t been here since probably 2 years and I went yesterday and got a ‘moms plate’ which is essentially a family meal and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of goodies you get with it for only 50$ (3 large plates of entrees with fried rice and lots of side dishes&soup) it’s supposed to feed 4 but it definitely can feed more than that. And my favorite sweet and sour chicken has gotten much better since the last time I’ve gone, they must’ve started using better chicken as it was a lot fresher and not dry. Owners are extremely kind and I’m always greeted with a big smile, certified auburn classic and I’ll be coming back more often!!“

“Loved the chicken katsu that I just demolished! The katsu had good flavor, katsu sauce is solid with a little sweetness and tang. Rice was a little dry, but we in Auburn, so i guess you got to appeal to the demographics. You don't come here for the salad although the dressing was good. The restaurant feels homey with a nice korean couple running the show. Overall, the food, homey feeling and sweet auntie and uncle makes this place a winner. 잘 먹겠습니다.“

“Got the combo with Chicken Teriyaki and Sesame Chicken for takeout, and was very pleased. Food was excellent, and even though they forgot to put my sauce on the side, they offered to remake it for me! I didn't have them remake it because that would have been just a waste of perfectly good food, but the fact that offered was nice.

Only small nitpick is that for a double plate like that, the amount of rice you get is pretty small. I assume it's the same amount of rice that you get for a single plate, so one more scoop would have felt more balanced.

Overall though, I think it's a pretty small complaint. Very good food, not too expensive. Definitely recommend!“

“The food was amazing, I haven’t had good teriyaki since I’ve moved to the East coast 5 years ago. Been craving it since then, came to visit and have only been here for 4 days and am now coming back for a 2nd time. 10000000000/10 😍😍 ordered special #1“

“Decent place. Will give a 2nd chance. Only giving 4's because I wasn't given the option to dine in. Food tastes it best freshly cooked so I had to drive 15-20min back home before diving in.
I will say that I popped in here an hour before closing on new years eve but, I still should have been given an option to eat there.
Will give a 2nd chance and bring the fam with me next time as well.“

“I work in the same area and Sumo Sushi is my go to. They never disappoint! Great food, great service, great value.“

“Spicy chicken teriyaki was very good although it does have onions and broccoli added with the chicken. I recommend staying away from their plain teriyaki sauce as it is more of a gelatin consistency. Meat proportions are medium/small compared to other yaki restaurants. Service was fast and “

“I Have taken taken meals out twice thus far and the meals were excellent! The service was polite and well received. I highly recommend Joy Teriyaki.“

“This is the best teriyaki spot in Federal way.NEVER A LONG WAIT. I love their chicken katsu. Never overcooked and fried to that perfect crunchy texture mmmmmmm! The sauce is to die for, well not literally! The rice is always cooked to perfection. Never that mushy pudding kind 🤢! Try YUMMY’s because they are YUMMI!!!“

“This is our go-to for teriyaki. Spring rolls were awesome, I should have ordered more because the kids practically inhaled them. I got tofu teriyaki and it was great. My family loves the chicken teriyaki. They are so accommodating and a joy to order food from. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.“

“I’ve been coming to this location for over 30 years. I haven’t been for a few years and my kid was really craving teriyaki so we made the drive to Puyallup for a little nostalgia.
I don’t think this place is managed by the same people. The place looks pretty much the same but possibly under new management.
The older woman who worked here for many years was not here. I didn’t recognize any of the usual staff. There is another woman behind the counter tonight. She was busy getting things done. She is loud and capable, but could rub people the wrong way. She means well, but I think things get lost in translation. For example this evening a customer ordered food through DoorDash and came to pick it up. The woman behind the counter tried to tell the customer it would be $20 cheaper to order through the store directly instead of paying for in-store pickup through DoorDash. The woman behind the counter came across loud and bossy. The customer left upset and obviously confused. The woman behind the counter said she just wanted her customers to not pay extra money.
The food tonight is different than it had been all the years I’ve known this place too. Everything is saucy, even the teriyaki. Still has a good taste and good sized portions, just different. The woman behind the counter was juggling online orders, phone orders, walk-in orders and table service. Our drinks were refilled twice and our food came out quick and hot. Bathrooms were clean, restaurant was clean.
Tonight is Thursday and there was a lot of business there.“

“First time eating at Nami Sushi, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the small boat, which has 20 different items in the boat and 3 different kinds of rolls. We also ordered the tempura calamari and Agedashi with a side of Japanese beer (large bottle of Asahi). The wait staff are attentive and checked on us multiple times. The restaurant is clean and tables are nicely spaced apart, tables are cleaned immediately. The decor of this restaurant is pretty cool and unusual. We will definitely be back. Thanks Nami Sushi!“

“Best sushi EVER. Love love trappers“

“I moved out of Seattle and still think about this place. Is it gourmet? Nope. It is a metric ton of chicken and rice, and it is tasty. The customer service is...well they take your order and money and you get food, that is it. Perfect. I gave this place a 3.5 star review, but it is definitely a 3.5 worthy place, and if you know anything about Teriyaki in Seattle, 3.5 stars is the best spot for the best Teriyaki, because food is made with love not manners and customer service voice!“

“Me and my boyfriend since we started dating back in 23 have always come here it’s our goto place! the people even remember our order now because we come here so often. We love the chicken teriyaki we come here at least once a week but this is our favorite place no where else compares and the food is the same delicious meal every time no inconsistency!“

“My mom and I started coming here about two years ago and ever since it’s been a favorite spot of ours to get sushi! Now it’s a place my husband and I come all the time. The chicken katsu is so good it’s his favorite and the cream cheese wontons are TO DIE FOR❤️ this place is a great option if you want good sushi but don’t want to pay and arm and a leg at trappers!

100% recommend“

“My wife pretty much dislikes teriyaki chicken. However, in a moment of weakness, she said yes to it this time. Since we moved recently, I looked around for a well rated Teriyaki restaurant near us, and Teriyaki house came up. Well, she loved it (and so did I!) but did not care for the sauce. So next time I went in, I asked for the chicken without the sauce, just on the side. Since then, this has been the only place we go for take out. The quality of the food is the best out of all the other Teriyaki places we tried and the couple who own the place are wonderful. I would love to spend a few days in the kitchen watching how this wonderful chef makes these dishes. I've tried several of the other offerings and they are just as excellent as the teriyaki. I look forward to trying more of their fabulous offerings. Highly recommended.“

“Mom and I stopped here for lunch and the young man, Sean, behind the counter was friendly and very helpful. The starter was egg soup and it was really good! We had the Stir Fried Veggies with Shrimp and Teriyaki Beef & Chicken Combo. We were very pleased and will definitely return!
Dad wanted to check the place out and he enjoyed the lunch very much. He had Vegetable Yakisoba and I had the Beef and Broccoli.“

“My new favorite sushi spot!“

“We stopped here to try out their food. I got a miyako bento box, and my husband got the Mongolian beef. The bento box was good, kind of overpriced for the quality of food. The portions are smaller but the food is really great. My husband didn't particularly like the Mongolian beef. It wasn't bad, but not great either. We could drop by to try other dishes if in the area.“

“When my husband and I are out of town for his job, I always miss Suzy’s!! They set the bar high on all their food. 💚 we love you Suzy!“

“I like here lol. With rising costs I get it portion sizes much smaller than before but still reasonable for what you pay. You all want some good yakisoba then go here and enjoy but remember as with all places nowadays portion sizes smaller lol“

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!“
