32 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.“

“We loved Mashiko. Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal and the sustainability first approach makes the experience that much better. Our sever was knowledgeable, super easy going and everything he recommended was delicious. I’ll be going back for the Omakase very soon.“

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

“Service was great with large portions of food!“

“This is A+++ sushi. It's always fresh and delicious! We always get the charasi bowl, karaage and recently the chicken katsu. The food always comes out quickly and beautiful! It's also very reasonable given the portions and freshness of the fish.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Okay, hear me out. I’m very generous on my stars. For teriyaki, I will vote Buxx as the best teriyaki in Seattle, greater Seattle. Many reasons it deserves the 5. It’s like they already know what you’re going to order, because the food comes out so fast no matter how long the wait is. They run a tight crew, I assume. Because it’s been the same people running the place for the 20 years I’ve come here. The prices are great, there are many specials you can choose from if you’re craving for salty & sweet, they have a katsu/teriyaki special. For me, I always get the chicken super combo, for $21, you get the chicken teriyaki, salad & rice, potstickers and an egg roll. The people who run the business are the sweetest people , I think the husband and wife switch off on shifts because they’re always open.“

“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.“

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

“delicious and big burgers, the fried were bomb“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Was hungry and captured a photo after we’d already dug in - but the bento came with a lot of food. Spicy chicken bento box is huge and great for 2 people. The sauces are delicious and the tempura is perfectly crispy. The chicken teriyaki hits the spot.

A must stop spot post-Costco run!“

“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.

“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 🙃“

“We were in the neighborhood and chose it randomly. It exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing and the service was really good. Everyone was friendly, smiling and ready to service us. I would 100% recommend, you will def not be disappointed!!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It was expensive but worth it. Me and my husband came in with friends. For a double date, thire service was wonderful. We let them know my husband has a food allergy they had his food separate plate. They where professional about it. Our chef was great he made us smile. Everything about the place was perfect. Definitely want to come back someday.“
