“Just had lunch at this little gem of a restaurant!!!! Everything was amazing. Had the black garlic Ramen dish and couldn't have been happier with it. Amazing soup dumplings and delightful stafff. Will deff be coming back here!!! 10 out of 10“

“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.“

“I know that ramen is mostly pork infused
I cant eat pork they had a vegetarian option I got that paired with a chicken katsu I go to say it hit noodles was a bit hard but idk if that was the vegetarian option or the style but it was good would I go out of my way to come here maybe not but if I was invited oh yes id go“

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“This is, without exaggeration, the best sushi I’ve ever had. Every cut of fish is absolutely impeccable, fresh, buttery, and unmatched in quality. The omakase experience is where Sushi Kuma really shines. Not only is the price amazing for what you get, but the sheer abundance and variety make it feel like a full culinary journey. I’m used to the traditional omakase style where you’re served piece by piece, but here it felt so much more thoughtful and generous. There were starters, appetizers, beautifully prepared sashimi, a wide selection of nigiri and sushi, incredible entrées, and even dessert to finish things off. From start to finish, the entire experience was marvelous“

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

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

“Interior of Aji Koharu is calming and shelters customers from the rush of traffic on Hwy 99. The food was excellent: well prepared, presentation of various items enhanced the meal, the flavor and texture of the variety of sashimi was each distinct and appreciated. The portions are generous and thank goodness fulfilling of the appetite of our adolescent boys. The adults were also pleased by the generous portions which some of them shared with the young men. Happy diners all around. Some suggestions: music can be less intrusive and unavailable menu items need to be communicated to customers before they look at the menu to make their selection. This can spare disappointment of customer and avoid lost/waste of time for wait staff and customer. We'll share our delight with Aji Koharu with our friend groups and we have made plans to return for more if the excellent dishes at Aji Koharu.“

“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.“

“Absolutely phenomenal sushi experience!
Everything from the moment we walked in was perfect. The staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive without ever feeling intrusive. The fish was unbelievably fresh—melt-in-your-mouth good—and every roll was beautifully prepared with great balance and flavor.

The presentation was stunning and even the small details—like the quality of the soy sauce and the perfectly seasoned rice—showed how much care goes into their food. We tried several specialty rolls, and every single one was a hit. The roll were a little on the smaller side but made up for it with the taste. Definitely quality over quantity.

The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and relaxing, making it a great place for both a casual night out and a more special occasion. This is easily some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time.

Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“I really liked this place. It has a cozy feel, and the food makes it obvious why people keep coming back. It feels a little more like an actual night out and a little less like you panic-ordered sushi from a strip mall because everyone was too tired to decide. Go when you want something nice without it becoming a whole event.“

“the menu is unique and set apart from every other burger restaurant. food is incredible, prices are great, staff is great, restaurant is clean and inviting. 5/5 love this place!“

“Stopped by for my lunch break and the service was timely. Friendly staff, quiet environment and delicious food. I came back again after my shift to get takeout to bring home for dinner cuz I'm not in the area often. Would come back again next time I'm around. (:“

“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.“

“Delicious Ramen and dim sum“

“Everything I had was delicious, generous portions, friendly staff I will definitely be back again“

“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!“

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

“I had a Ramen & 6 Piece Sushi Combo tonight and have to say it was excellent. The Tan Tan Broth was perfect. Great service as well. 👌🏼“

“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.“

“Super cute little spot, very clean and the women taking orders was very nice. The food was hot and fresh, husband liked the chicken teriyaki. The shrimp tempura was crisp and crunchy on the outside and so tender on the inside. But let me tell you about the wonton soup!!! 10/10, five stars, highly recommended. The broth is glistening with flavor, the wontons are perfectly soft and the veggies are bright and not overcooked. So happy I stopped here, this wonton soup healed me. I wish I would have gotten more.“

“Super cute place! Was a little nervous coming in due to the outside area but my friends were right there was very good food here for a very reasonable price! We were the only ones in there (we went around 3pm). The lady serving us was very sweet. Will come again!“

“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!“

“Anyone rating this place less than 5 stars has some serious mental condition. I’ve eaten here hundreds of times. I used to work next door and I’d eat here almost every day. THE BEST teriyaki you will ever find. I moved out of state and this place is one of the things I miss most about Washington.“

“Great service the food was prepped and cooked quickly and it was delivered within 20 mins. Very nice portions of food. I got the chicken chow mein, 8 piece gyoza and side salad everything was so good 😊. First time ordering from them they will definitely continue getting my business for for future orders. A+ service and food 💕Thank you Teriyaki Wok“

“Third time customer and IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE! I recommend upgrading the white rice to fried rice. It's the best fried rice I've had in decades! The staff and owners are authentic chefs, and provide a family environment with professional customer service. I've tried the Szechuan Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, General Tso's Chicken--each time with as a C-17 Chicken Teriyaki Wok Combo that comes with Teriyaki Chicken and a large line of choices as your second part of the combo. All of these items were amazing. Plus even the egg rolls were homemade tasting and crispy outside but not much on the inside The portions and amount of ingredients are large and varied, and DO NOT COMPARE to local competitors. Finally, The wonton soup is definitely the best I've ever ever ever ever ever had! There are so many vegetables, scrumptious broth, and the wontons in it seemed like they're made with love and homemade! I can't wait to try everything on the menu! I wish I could go there all the time. Even they're little side salad that comes with the meal has more ingredients and fresh ingredients. The salad seems hand cut--not prepackaged.. If you want a bang for your buck for delicious, mouth watering, large portion food with quality ingredients this will be as big of treasure to you as it is to me! Anybody needing an awesome place to go to lunch or get takeout on the way home, or bring your family in to their clean and pleasant facility, I exceedingly recommend this special gem! I'm a customer for life!“

“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.“

“Honestly this place isn’t as bad as some of the people are making it out to be. The food isn’t always the most consistent I’ve noticed over the years of getting food here, but it is still good and the price point makes it worth it. Sometimes the grilled teriyaki comes with more sauce than other times but that could be simply from a different cook at that time. But it taste fine and the portions are good too.“

“My family has been enjoying this restaurant for many years, both dine in and take out. We have never been disappointed. The beef in the broccoli beef is always tender and they put pineapple chunks and green peppers in their sweet n sour pork.“

“Walking into Modoo 3 Teriyaki, the first thing that hits you is how clean, neat, and organized the restaurant feels. It sets the tone immediately. You know you’re in a place that takes pride in both presentation and hospitality.

The customer service is outstanding. Staff are friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming, which makes the whole experience feel easy and comfortable.

What really surprised me is the huge menu. This isn’t just a teriyaki spot. They offer everything from Thai dishes to Japanese sushi, Chinese favorites, classic teriyaki plates, and even bubble tea. It’s the kind of menu where everyone can find something they love.

I tried the Mango Bubble Tea. The flavor wasn’t overpowering, but it was refreshing and enjoyable making it a solid choice if you like something balanced rather than super sweet.

But the real star of the meal was the orange chicken. Big chunks, great texture, and a bright, bold orange flavor that stands out. Honestly, it’s one of the best orange chickens I’ve had in a long time. The portion sizes are large, and the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and variety.

If you want a clean, friendly spot with a massive menu and standout dishes, especially that orange chicken, Modoo 3 Teriyaki is absolutely worth a visit.“

“I used to come here almost every day when I worked across the river bridge in Fife, I would come when they had the two old guys back in the mid 2010's and their sushi is the greatest sushi in the world. I've never had better sushi in my life. It completely changed my perspective on sushi and they have always done an elite job on their products. Here's to hoping i can go back again some day, because you should go. It really is incredible!“

“This is our go to spot for teriyaki in Auburn. The staff are so kind and efficient, their cook is super consistent, and their portions kick ass!! My wife always gets tofu+vegetable yakisoba and has never had a problem with cross contamination (not something we can always say about every place, she has some dietary/food restrictions equating to vegan). We love this place :)“

“The 2 owners are so kind, and the food has never once disappointed. It’s honestly the best teriyaki spot I’ve had in Washington and I’ve tried many. They make it with love! Great portions, the teriyaki has such a good unique flavor and it’s always fresh and excellent. I read through some of these negative reviews and honestly feel as if these people just don’t know what good food is“

“We went for an early dinner at 4:30 p.m., and we had the place all to ourselves. It was fantastic—the entertainment was great, and the food was delicious. The only small downside was that the shrimp were a little overcooked. And if I could make one recommendation, it would be to go light on the salt—that would be excellent!“

“Best sushi EVER. Love love trappers“

“The teriyaki is decent & you get quite a bit for the price. The lady at the front was very nice! It's not a place we'd stick around to eat, but we did order take-out!

Photo: Chicken teriyaki - they don't skimp on the sauce!“

“Great food, good service! Very welcoming and pleasant atmosphere.

Poke bowl was ginormous, Love the menu for it as well. You pick your own toppings and type of raw fish.

Sweet and sour chicken was delicious and not overcooked where the chicken can be tough to chew. Good job, Chef!“

“Walk in order was ready surprisingly fast! Even though there weren’t many people inside, the staff was very busy with to go orders, yet our food was prepared in what seemed like less than 5 minutes.
While I ordered combo yakisoba (with beef chicken and shrimp,) my wife ordered the “beef bento teriyaki” from the limited online menu.
I was happy to find all of the meats were tender, the shrimp was cooked to perfection, tender but fully cooked.
Her beef was a little smoky taste, likely from the teriyaki marinade.
Both dishes were plentiful, noodles almost overflowing the to go box from the yakisoba.
I will plan on buying this again in the future.“

“I ordered a teriyaki bento and some kimchi. I found nothing wrong with the food. The woman who took my order was very hard to understand and she was very impatient. I am accustomed to getting kimchi served hot with rice, what i got was cold in a to-go container (it was to-go) , no rice. If offered I would have ordered some white rice. The furniture, booths, appeared to be second hand and repaired with colored duct tape. Alot of there inventory was stored in view. And, the luovered doors leading to the restrooms where blinds and hung backwards to each other. It was clean and had no unusual odors.“

“Eat here if you want food unless your not hungry then eat no where cus eating makes you full and you don't want tp be even more full if your already full so don't eat he fr e if your full but if your not it tastes good if your hungry“

“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.“

“I go here during lunch any time I'm in the area. Hands down the best teriyaki spot I've been to in Washington. The portion sizes are great and the food is brought out rather quickly. I usually get the L2 combo as it's very reasonably priced and tastes amazing.“

“We ordered to go from the counter. Our food was done in about the stated time (10 min). The restaurant was clean and cool during the wait.
We ordered a beef/chicken combo and a spicy chicken. Both came with salads and were delicious. The spicy chicken has kick but isn't crazy hot.

We will visit again, and I already look forward to it!“

“Can’t say enough. Great food. Far batter than the one across the street. They get the details right. They use good meat, you get your sauces in your To go orders. It’s not even close how much better they are than their neighboring competitor.“

“Stopped by Ichiban Teriyaki & Wok during a sales day in Fife with a coworker, and I'm glad we did! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Their bento boxes are a fantastic value, and the egg drop soup that comes with them was the perfect appetizer. This is definitely comfort food done right. I've already saved this spot as a favorite so I can come back whenever I'm working in the area. Thanks for the great food and hospitality!“

“New Head Chef Logi!! Conveyer belt is open again and food was amazing!! Will definitely be back again with family and friends!“
