50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Woodinville

“This has become our favorite teriyaki place. The location is clean and welcoming, the food is great quality and portions are very generous.
We love the whole set up, the soup every customer is entitled to when purchasing an entree is delicious!!!“

“Simple, delicious teriyaki at a great price. Can’t beat the chicken and gyoza special for a quick dinner. Wife and I tried it on a whim when we moved out to Woodinville. Won’t go anywhere else now. She LOVES the spicy ramen. Also the couple who run it are absolutely wonderful. Give them some buisness!“

“My mom had brag about their Yakisoba and wanted to go again the very next day and for me to experience their meal. Their Chicken Yakisoba was the best I had ever tasted, very flavorful and a huge portion with a side of rice. Also comes wirh their soup which was also delicious. My mom enjoyed her shrimp yakisoba for the 2nd time in a row. In fact we both ordered 2 more to go. Their service was outstanding and courteous. I will definitely back to dry their other dishes. Also they are open 7 days a week which is a plus. Their price is very reasonable and provides you with huge portion and excellent quality food.“

“When we arrived, we were told there would be a twenty-minute wait, and it was definitely worth it. The restaurant was clean, the service was efficient and friendly, and the food was phenomenal. Everything was fresh and presented with a unique touch.

We ordered the pork gyozas, Philly roll, Spider roll, and California roll.

I recommend calling ahead for a table if you’re planning to visit on a busy weekend evening.“

“Birthday hibachi never disappoints! Got lucky and had a table to ourself, VIP. The food was delicious, highly suggest the fried rice and shrimp/steak combo! The chief and entire staff were quite welcoming and made the experience fun. Be prepared to do a birthday dance followed by ice cream to finish the night!“

“I have never had a problem there. When my dad mom and I stop in when we hang out they are super nice. They know us by are names. If I forgot to call all I need to do show my face and come back in 15. I think the new owners are really nice I can stand there if not busy and talk.“

“I had the aloha roll. It was light and delicious. The rice is cooked perfectly. The wasabi is so good, more flavorful than intensely spicy. The sashimi is excellent quality. The white fish (called super white tuna), had zero fishy taste. I'd never tried it. The dessert was excellent. The cheesecake was one if the best I've had. Super smooth, and very fluffy, which made it too easy to finish! I really enjoyed it and was very impressed at the quality. Woodenville is lucky to have such a good quality international cuisine to add to the more mainstream (but also delicious) selection of restaurants in the area.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and great service, amazing food!“

“Super clean restaurant and quick service! Most important of all, the food is phenomenal! Single best katsu curry in Lynnwood.“

“This is my second time coming here. I will definitely come back again. I got the shrimp fried rice and the salmon lover’s roll. I have to say this is one of the best fried rice I’ve in a long time. Staff is very attentive and the restaurant has a great atmosphere“

“The food here is absolutely amazing! I seriously did not know it was possible to sell such generous portions of fresh sushi at this price. My big back friend and I (also a big back) shared a family combo that was only $69 after tax that had 4 gigantic rolls and a boat-load of karaage. We weren't able to finish and had enough leftover for another meal. On top of all that, the service is super friendly and the atmosphere is nice and cozy. The staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and more. I'm a self-certified sushi connoisseur and I can confidently say this is the best value sushi I've ever had by far. The salmon nigiri especially was super fresh and had blanket-sized slices of salmon. This is 100% a must-try restaurant.“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“Came here on a Monday night. Food was excellent! It was very fresh and only waited 10 minutes for the food to come out. The akiaji seasonal tendon had everything I wanted and it was fun to be able to try the different foods included. Anna was a very attentive server and provided excellent customer service to our table, she was so friendly and helpful!!! I would highly recommend this place to friends or anyone visiting Seattle/bellevue area for a great experience!“

“Service and food , perfect, and nice, she even brought us glasses of water . And I got my food to go but we decided to stay and eat it and she brought us two cups of water. It was amazing,
The food was perfect! the teriyaki sauce was absolutely perfect just what I wanted. You know how sometimes you'll eat something really good somewhere and you'll go other places trying to get the same thing and usually it's not right, this place was not that, it was perfect exactly how and what I wanted. I ve gone to a lot of different teriyaki places trying to find the teriyaki that's just right, how I remembered having it a long time ago I used to go to a place in Tacoma by the mall but hadn't found one here yet, but this place was just that and more. The teriyaki was perfect taste. And just a little crispy on the edge of the chicken. The restaurant was clean and nice. It was a good meal. And the lady was so kind and happy and tried to make sure everyone felt welcome and was happy .“

“Best General Tso's and teriyaki (chicken and beef) I have ever had. I can't compare it to other PNW joints yet, but compared to all the ones I tried in SoCal and NY/NJ, Ohana blows them all out of the water. Even the steamed rice was perfect. Huge portions, one is enough for two or three people, we ended up taking them home and eating like kings the next day. We just moved and are considering making Ohana a weekly staple, it's just that good!!“

“Been going here since high school (2006) Owners are super friendly you can find them in the back cooking your food. I live further north now and anytime my family is in Lake City neighborhood we make an effort to stop and eat and say hi.

Food hasn't changed since 2006 and can always expect high quality.

Thank you so much for serving me all these years, sorry it's taken me forever to do a review.“

“The atmosphere and service are great. The food itself is good but could be slightly adjusted.

We ordered a tonkatsu and gyudon.

The tonkatsu was cooked well but lacked a bit of sauce. Portion size is appropriate, and overall flavor was delicious.

The gyudon was a bit tough. The beef was a little bit thicker than standard and was a bit overcooked. The rice was a little dry, but we did come in late in the evening, so that's not a major surprise.

Overall, it's a good experience, and we'll try coming back, but a bit earlier in the day.“

“Harbour Pointe is fortunate to have such an outstanding local eatery. Their bento boxes are solid and full of delicious sides, but the kimbap is as good as any in the Seattle/Bellevue area - generously filled with fresh ingredients at a great price.“

“Excellent customer service. Very professional and treated us like we belonged there. They showed appreciation for my sons birthday by bringing him ice-cream with a candle in it. Everyone in my family enjoyed the food. We will definitely be returning in the future. 💫💫💫💫💫 Five stars“

“I ordered the beef teriyaki with extra meat, came out to about $36 which, before I GOT the food, felt like a lot. But when you see what you get it feels good. The food is excellent! The box couldn't stay closed on its own, they had to tape it shut. It fed me for two days. AWESOME. Gonna go back and get more tonight!“

“Been coming here for years. Nice staff and good food.“

“Incredible experience - we reserved the November bar seating for our anniversary, and every dish was both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. Eating at the bar was especially unique, as we could watch the chef make everything right in front of us! We also really liked the 3 Sake flight. A great place for kaiseki on the east side.“

“This is the best place in the Area, always a great service and always best food, every time I got food from here is a great experience, I don’t really write reviews but it’s been a long time being a costumer and these place deserves the best… I’ll keep being a loyal costumer 🙌.

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“It’s the best teriyaki I’ve ever had! Huge portions, great service!!! The noodles had perfect seasoning and texture—super satisfying—and the rolls were amazing. The teriyaki goes without saying, so I highly recommend trying it yourself!
100% coming back!“

“The G.O.A.T. of teriyaki in the greater Seattle area. No-nonsense menu. Meats are always tender and the sauce is so good, not sickeningly sweet like some other places I've tried. Chicken is obviously the classic choice but honestly I think the beef might be even better!
Takeout only.“

“Best fresh fish (sashimi) and an incredible environment for food & fun“

“Their fish is of superior quality compared to other Japanese restaurants in this area. I used to live in Japan for a long time so when I feel like eating Japanese food I always go to this one. I am a routine customer and I always order their salmon box, which they remember every time.“

“Toyota Sushi is a gem in our community! As a family-owned business, they truly go above and beyond to make every visit special. Their food is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and beautifully crafted dishes that never disappoint. The service is top-notch—always accommodating, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I've been a loyal customer for a while now, and I can confidently say I've never had a less-than-excellent experience here. If you're looking for a sushi spot that combines great food with warm, personalized service, Toyota Sushi is the place to go. Highly recommended! Five stars all the way. Ps. We love our Tia Helen ❤️“

“We were a party of 4 and went in around 6ish on a Saturday. We got a table immediately.
The courtesy of the staff does require a mention. Very friendly and checking with you on a timely basis.
These are the ones which we ordered -
Monkey brain - good
Gyoza - good
California roll - good
crispy firecracker roll - this was different, never seen one like this, definitely a must try
mango tango roll - was good too
katsu chicken bento - good
chicken karaage - nice and hot
If you ask if we would visit this place, the answer is a Yes. Ambience was good and didnt have difficulty finding a parking spot.“

“so yummy Japenese food and fresh dishes😘😋😍“

“Amazing food and a wide variety of must haves for a delicious night out.I thought it was really reasonably priced and definitely a hidden gem!! Will be coming back!! The vibe is sit down but more casual than the next door restaurant.

You have to try it!!“

“I really enjoyed the chicken fried rice here! It has a smoky flavor that makes it stand out, and the portions are generous. I also appreciated that they offer free refills and provide a self-service setup for sauces, including salad dressing and spicy options. It’s a convenient spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I had the una-gyu don rice bowl and a side of takoyaki. The unagi was alright, i will do without it next time. The beef was good! The takoyaki was odd, it was very pasty/doughy... not sure if it wasn't cooked all the way or if that's just how they are.“

“I almost didn’t come in because the exterior of the restaurant is not very inviting. But, since the place next door was closed, I took a chance and opened the door. It was a big surprise to find a perfectly appointed Japanese restaurant. The food was excellent - I had Sushi. It was very fresh and delicious. \nI would recommend checking it out - it’s accross from Discount Tire and Fred Meyer, in a little strip mall.“

“I have been coming to Ichiban Teriyaki for many years. Love the flavor of the meats they have. Not just a chicken breast on a grille. They show it some love :)

Parking: Plenty of parking available - Even if you drive a motorhome“

“The food is amazing here and so is the service.“

“I cannot rate this place high enough. The food is always fresh, the portions are huge and the staff is INCREDIBLE! I had misplaced a receipt from months ago for business purposes and the team there was able to track down my receipt swiftly and HAPPILY.
Food 10/10, customer service 10/10, what more can you ask for???“

“Love the food, especially the combos! I love teriyaki as a whole, but this place really does it right.“

“Standard bento style fare served with a smile in a small strip mall area. You can get free.miso soup at the counter, which is a nice touch when eating in. The food is good, plenty of seating, but parking can sometimes be a bit scarce during peak times.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.“

“Surprisingly good teriyaki! Clean, well-ordered, and they have a cool little watch & jewelry shop within.A small suggestion: putting the salad in a spinner would take excess water away and the dressing (very good btw) would taste better!“

“I was pleasantly surprised - extremely homey, tastes like home-cooked Japanese food! What an unassuming little spot!

My partner and I had the Oyakodonburi, Katsu Curry, salmon cucumber avocado roll, and a side of tempura.

The portions are big! The Oyakodonburi was the star of the show - usually I don't like oyakodon because it's very easy to do wrong; too slimy and too saucy, but theirs was just perfect!!

This is gonna be a top lunch spot for me for sure!“

“Got takeout from big fish sushi tonight, hubs made a mistake ordering hand rolls instead of maki and they remade them for free. Super nice even though it was totally our fault. They also have a great bento box for kids, katsu,rice,California roll and edamame for $9 for kids. They have enough for 2-3 meals. Everything was delicious we will definitely be ordering again soon“

“Possibly the best teriyaki you will find anywhere! I have been coming here for almost 13 years. The place is clean and well take care of. They've had the same employees for years so you know they take care of their workers. The food is very high quality, huge portions, and the service is fast, friendly, and very efficient. Tony and Grace are great people and really take pride in running a great restaurant.“

“Great place for quality Celiac friendly food. My wife loves this place for that. I can honestly say that the vegetable yakisoba is fantastic. Love that you can choose the spice level on pretty much all dishes. Our families go-to spot for Chinese/American.“

“Stopped in at this teriyaki shop for a quick bite while I was having a tire repaired at the shop nearby. I ordered a chicken teriyaki with a side of gyoza. The food was excellent, the chicken was tender with nice looking char lines from the grill. The gyoza was just the way I like it with the outside crispy and the inside juicy. The restaurant had condiments on the table including teriyaki sauce which I always appreciate. Overall great experience!“

“Every bit as wonderful as Kenji says it is. I never knew how incredible the ORIGINAL chicken teriyaki could be, but it really seems to have made all the difference in the world. Excellent customer service, too!
?????

Parking: Parking on the street and out back.

Kid-friendliness: The older fellow manning the register had my baby giggling and cooing. It was so cute! ?“

“Their high quality tonkatsu reminds me of my home, Japan. I go there every chance I get. The staff is very friendly and nice. Highly recommend.“

“I only enjoy "American style" sushi aka sushi that doesn't include raw fish so best that in mind.

All the rolls I've had are great here. They also have a modest sized menu for teriyaki that's pretty good as well, great for if you have family members or friends who don't like sushi.

Portions are BIG. The price is fair especially considering the portion size. They have reasonably nice staff and pretty fast service. I would definitely recommend it.“

“Awesome food. Great service. Cant wait to go back“
