33 Best Japanese Restaurants near Vashon

“This is probably one of the best teriyakis I’ve ever had. It wasn’t super saucy but I didn’t mind that cause it had so much other stuff going on. The blackened crunch on top - manifique!!! So much flavor. And the sides were equally delicious.“

“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!“

“This is by far my favorite teriyaki spot amd my go to! I love their chicken yakisoba, they don't skimp on anything. The food is always fresh and delicious. The helping is definitely worth the money spent. We ordered over the phone and then by the time we get there the food is ready. So service is standard time, which I would expect when the food is that good. I've never had a bad experience here like I've had at many other teriyaki places.“

“A real gem near the heart of Georgetown! In addition to the American-Chinese classics like Teriyaki, they have REALLY GREAT Korean food, including a grilled mackerel which was so nice. Prices are great for a high quality meal with big portions. Service can be kind of slow (20-25 minutes from order to getting food) so if you only have a small lunch break, not a great idea, so I had to take off a star.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed the Okina O Shiri experience with a variety of Sake pairings. Every dish was delectable, and well explained. Mariah is a true artisan, and the entire team is an absolute delight. Mariah-San, thank you for an incredible evening (I’ll be dreaming about that okra and octopus for a long time to come)!“

“Service was great with large portions of food!“

“The best teriyaki I haven't been able to buy!

I've tried to go here twice while working on a night job nearby, but both times I ended up showing up after business close and wasn't able to pick up my meal. And both times the owner kindly refunded me! What a nice guy!

Finally, my partner went for me and since they actually go to things on time (lol), I finally got to taste their excellent food!

10/10, would attempt to go to again“

“Good was great, I ordered the chirashi and was really happy with it. Service was a little unintuitive, but after ordering at the kiosk we just waited at the table and our food was brought out to us. Definitely recommend ordering drinks though, forgot to do that...“

“Pleasantly surprised by the teriyaki chicken. The food was delicious in a generous amount.

Ate in the restaurant and the food was brought out to me. Aside from a dark interior (it was already a gloomy day), the food was enjoyable.“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now and it never misses. The food is consistently fresh, portions are generous, and the flavor is exactly what you want when you’re craving solid teriyaki. The chicken is always tender, the sauce is on point—not too sweet, not overpowering—and everything tastes like it was made with care. You can tell they don’t rush the food.

What really keeps me coming back is the consistency. No matter when I order, it’s always good, hot, and filling. It’s one of those spots you can rely on when you want something satisfying without overthinking it. Easily one of my go-to teriyaki places.“

“I can't believe how long it has taken me to write this review. My family and I dine at this establishment weekly, sometimes twice in one week. We moved to the south end from N Seattle six months ago and initially had trouble finding a good sushi restaurant. We had tried several other restaurants in Southcenter/Tukwila area as well as others in Burien but I was very disappointed until we found Tomo Sushi. What has me coming back weekly, is the fresh fish, friendly and kind service and a nice atmosphere.“

“Amazing food!! Next time I am in Seattle, I will be eating here ❤❤“

“delicious and big burgers, the fried were bomb“

“This is a great teriyaki place. The teriyaki in particular is fantastic, and awesome fried rice as well. It's a small shop, not many tables, probably not the kind of place that you want to hang out and eat at if you're looking for atmosphere, but you are certainly welcome to grab a table if you so choose. People here are plenty friendly, but they are often very busy, so it can feel rushed, but they're just trying to make sure everybody gets service. They are a bit pricey, but what isn't in Seattle these days. I recommend getting the teriyaki, and get it to go.
Honorable mention to the awesome pork fried rice“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is absolutely wonderful. I’ve been to a handful of teriyaki spots over the years, and Toshi’s is easily one of the best. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The chicken is tender, the sauce is amazing, and the portions are VERY generous. Honestly, the portion sizes are huge, easily double the meat compared to many other teriyaki places I’ve been to. You definitely get your money’s worth here. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Thanks again for the great food and service.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Got the Poke roll and the Gyoza

Average prices for the area

Poke roll ($12) was simple/kept the Ahi Tuna front and center with a nice touch of Japanese pepper(? I am guessing - it tasted like what I had in the past)“

“Great locale. Very unassuming but it’s what makes this place special. It could be a little overwhelming seeing so many options. This review is specific to what I’ve ordered.

Their chicken teriyaki is solid. Portions were ok. Surprisingly got more chicken than rice, but overall well worth $15. Chicken had perfect amount of char and was well cooked (not too dry). I do think they should’ve added more teriyaki sauce to the food though. May have been bc my order was takeout. KEY DETAIL: the sauce on the tables boosts the flavor.

Miso soup was delicious. Very deep and rich flavor; tofu used was a little too soft for the soup (in my opinion), but the soup was well balanced.“

“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.“

“I eat my teriyaki at the one Toshi operates himself in Mill Creek. I believe his son operates this one. This is the definitive teriyaki place in the US. Amazing.“

“Fantastic food at good prices!! Great service! When the machine didn’t like, an employee offered to help, was polite, and even gave me potstickers on the house. Amazing experience. I think the only thing is the employees spirit. A smile can go a long way 🙃“

“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.“

“YUM YUM Teriyaki is one of those hidden gems you end up going back to again and again. It’s my go-to, last-minute spot — consistently fast, fresh, and satisfying every time. The portions are solid, the flavors are exactly what you expect from great teriyaki, and it never disappoints when you need a reliable meal on the fly.

What really stands out is consistency — whether it’s a quick lunch or late-day pickup, the quality stays the same. It’s the kind of place you don’t have to think twice about.

Easily a 5/5 for convenience, value, and dependable comfort food.“

“Absolutely love this place have been going for about 10 years and it is amazing every time. I was sad to see the low stars they have so I decided to leave a review and hopefully increase it as they are great people. The food is good and the portions are huge.“

“An unexpected jewel in a small strip mall. We wandered in and discovered the most delicious tempura, avocado bombs, and sushi, not to mention the fabulous Japanese old fashioneds. We will be making reservations for the hibachi to amaze some friends and family soon!“
