34 Best Japanese Restaurants near Vashon

“Visited here in September for the first time! Was absolutely delicious!!! Highly would recommend. Currently craving their grilled chicken teriyaki again 😍 Very spacious setting with a nice breeze during the Summer months with the garage open. Had a big selection of beers / wines to choose from as well. Street parking was a bit busy but to be expected. Staff was friendly and helpful! Can’t wait to be back!“

“Excelente service thank you 🙏“

“Fantastic sushi and people. Casual, kind and some of the best service and fish around.“

“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.“

“Beef teriyaki, sushi, and calamari are amazing!“

“Kid cannot wait to come back after having Kid's first ever Ramune and eating pretty well.

We were there for early dinner bc that's how we do, and I think we overlapped with a younger, late lunch afternoon date cool kid crowd which was probably less fun for them but didn't bother us. Chicken Katsu was great; Tofu poke bowl was well seasoned and the perfect size. Only wish their curry was vegetarian because Japanese curry popping up on a menu is like a mirage; I've been out here in the pork and beef filled dessert, and when I get up close to it's glistening spicy pool... Snatched away again.“

“It’s the Best. Hands down. Best food. I drive out from Tacoma all the time just for this tasty food. Can’t go wrong.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE. So happy we stumbled upon this place during our evening stroll. Everything we had was chef’s choice and the chef did not disappoint. The rolls with the squash was delightful! Everything here truly brought me back to Japan.“

“We've lived in Des Moines for 30+ years and have never tried this teriyaki place and so glad we did today. Fast service and everything was on point. Regular chicken teriyaki was delicious and the spicy chicken was so good and spicy and both were huge portions. Egg rolls were great also. Will definitely be back.“

“I have been a huge fan of your all for about 10 years. Recently tried your dinner special and was disappointed. It wasn't made known that I would get 1/2 the normal amount of chicken. I may be ignorant but I figured shrimp tempura meant a sushi roll. Still love you all but damn dude, I was still hungry after this meal“

“This place is truly a hole in the wall, but don’t let that fool you—the food was absolutely delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. We’re so glad we decided to give it a try because it ended up being a great find. You honestly can’t beat the prices for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re looking for great food without the hype.“

“Great food, but was really impressed with the service. The owner asked a few questions about our quick pit stop to get my daughter lunch, and made sure she had exactly what she needed. It wasn't anything than required that level of extra care but I was really happily surprised to get it when I was just expecting normal counter service without the extra touches.

And holy moly. The General Tso's chicken is perfectly crunchy and perfectly flavored. I'm not sure I've had better and I've eaten a lot of General Tso's in my life 🤣 Egg rolls are pretty tasty, too.

Definitely worth swinging by if you're in the area. Truly delicious food and impressively thoughtful service. Hope I have a good excuse to come down soon!“

“Good food for a good price. The guy is very friendly, if a little busy. You have to knock on the glass or order online. It's takeout only, they do accept cash and credit cards. I reccomend this place to people who want a quick, and delicious meal to go.“

“experience. my niece, who was in town for a layover. Ordered for pickup, and food was on time plus the server was kind. Absolutely delicious 😋 😍 😊. Best chicken teriyaki and noodles ever! Grilled to perfection and great portion. Salad super fresh. Thank you for the experience.“

“We had shrimp Teriyaki and chicken and beef combo Teriyaki.
Both very good, the shrimp was slightly over cooked which is not bad but my preference is for it to be less dry like. The beef/chicken combo was very good, the chicken very tender with the just right amount of char giving it a very nice flavor. The beef was extra tender and tasty as well. I would come back to this place as service was good, service with a smile. The food came within a reasonable amount of time, not a long wait. Tables were nice and clean, no film residue which is pleasant to find. Nice neighborhood establishment.“

“The food here is very standard teriyaki chicken, the chicken was a little dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for a bit which I assume it had since it came out immediately. The rice was a bit clumpy and the salad was very standard. Overall for the price it was a very standard Seattle teriyaki with a good price of $13. I like that they had sauce bottles available for dine it.“

“First I should say sushi is my favorite food. This place is the best sushi I have had in my entire life, my recommendation spicy crunchy California and bagel roll (if you like cream cheese please trust me it’s so good, even if you don’t maybe try it because you may start to like it!!) And the tempura roll is tasty. The tempura veggies also are a consistent order for me. Been going for 20 years now, and will always be back!!!“

“Great spot for tasty Indo-Chinese food! The Szechuan chaap was absolutely delicious, and the portion was very filling for the price. The vegetable samosas with mint chutney were also excellent. There are lots of vegetarian options too. The staff was friendly, and the place was very clean. It's a casual, low-key restaurant offering good value.“

“One of the many great Des Moines restaurants, if you haven’t been, you need too. Great hospitality and amazing food. Definitely a must!“

“It’s under new ownership and I didn’t know that when I placed my order. This used to be my favorite place to get Mongolian beef. When I ordered online I asked for ‘extra onion/veggies’ my fault for not specifying only the veggies that normally come with the meal and they added broccoli which turned the dish into the taste of broccoli and beef- which I didn’t want. Also, this dish has much more kick to it than the previous owners, so those with heartburn be aware. Also there is no note on their site stating if dishes are spicy. Nice enough woman working at front, but when I called to ask about the broccoli and let her know it ruined the taste, she explained why there was broccoli she had nothing left to add. An offer to remake or correct would have been nice, or at least an ‘I’m sorry’. Again my fault for not specifying what kind of extra veggies.“

“Loved their Spicy Teriyaki Chicken. It was actually spicy...“

“Stopped for lunch on my way to work. Lots of food and tasted great 😊. Not overly crowded and also have pho on the other side. Came with a free can of soda. Also a restroom for customers, since working in Seattle that sometimes is important well to me anyway 😂. I would recommend this restaurant and the food service was very quick.“

“The food here was delicious! The place gets pretty busy with takeout orders only a couple of tables were occupied, but most customers were ordering to go. The chicken was very tender and flavorful, and the portions were generous. I also tried the bubble tea, and it was really good! Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving some tasty teriyaki!“

“I am curious if there are new owners of this restaurant? It had been a while since I have been in the restaurant. I went today, June 2nd. 2025 and ordered my usual chicken breast teriyaki with brown rice. Everything was different. Unfortunately, the chicken was very dry and the brown rice was literally a blob of overcooked, wet mush..... not what is expected for 18 Dollars. The salad was fine, but too much dressing. I hope the owners responds to me. Thank you, Kevin.“

“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.“

“DELICIOUS sashimi. I really hope the owners find this comment. I'm leaving this review because my conscience won't allow me not to. Basically, I shared a very pleasant $90+ meal with a couple friends. However, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not well-practiced/educated in tipping because I've so rarely eaten out in all my life. I SEVERELY under-tipped them for this meal, and I just feel awful because it was AMAZING service on top of really decent sushi and better sashimi.“

“delicious and big burgers, the fried were bomb“

“We’ve had a lot of sushi at all different price points around the city and this place is still the best for the price and the quality. We go at least once a month and every time they hit it out of the park. They frequently have amberjack as their special - highly recommend if they have it when you go.“

“Best locally owned and family owned Teriyaki in West Seattle by far. Super friendly staff, decent pricing, and fast service. Almost anyone who I've talked to that lives nearby has been here and mentioned how good the food is. The spot is small so I recommend to call ahead for takeout or takeout generally when you arrive.

“Amazing udon and otoro! Such sweet people, too! Thanks!“

“My favorite spicy chicken teriyaki in the whole wide world is here!! Actually I don’t like chicken teriyaki anywhere else. Don’t expect the typical type that you get elsewhere here. Maybe expect teriyaki grilled chicken. I love it!! The lady here is very nice too. Always happy to see her.“

“This is my favorite place to go for lunch since I moved to Washington!! Amazing food!! Everything I've eaten from here is a win!! I absolutely love it!!

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is definitely wheelchair accessible.“

“Went in at 2pm on a Wednesday. Not too busy. Ordered general chicken & shrimp yakisoba plus some gyozas. Food came out fast and hot. Flavorful and delicious. Place is small and outdated but don't make that stop you from trying it out.“

“I really enjoyed my visit! The food was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. What stood out most was the service—it was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for an all-around great experience.“
