50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Woodinville

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Sushi Koushi is my absolute favorite sushi spot. My husband and I have been going since they first opened, and we have been so happy that a sushi place this good has popped up so close to home. Everyone here is very welcoming and helpful, and I'm always amazed at how quickly things come to the table even when it's a busy night.

Normally I don't like uni at all, but this is the only place that I have actually enjoyed it. The rolls and omakase always come out delicious and beautiful, but definitely give the Oita roll a try - it's great for any picky eaters in your party! The udon is also fantastic if you're in the mood for a noodle soup.

The one and only downside is that the location is a bit small and seems to be getting popular (for a good reason), so make sure to plan your visit accordingly!“

“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.“

“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!“

“There was no wait for the table and upon sitting down we were treated to a light and relaxed atmosphere where the wait staff were very attentive and welcoming. The food itself was very satisfying and left nothing to be desired. I will be sure to come back and enjoy more of the same.“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“absolutely incredible — a perfect balance of indulgence and artistry. The juicy, medium-rare beef slices glisten with tenderness, while the golden tempura shrimp and vegetables add a gorgeous crunch and visual contrast. Every layer seems thoughtfully composed — from the glossy rice base to the vibrant green onions on top. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause just to admire before diving in — rich, satisfying, and full of umami harmony.“

“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.“

“I ordered for take out for the first time from Akebono tonight. I’m terrible about doing reviews, but I had to make a point to do it for Akebono. It was amazing!!!! This will definitely be my new go-to place to satisfy my sushi craving!“

“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 ❤️“

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

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

“The food is tasty, especially for the large portions you get. I really like all the kimbap they have (especially the triangle tuna kimbap). It was properly seasoned with a good kick to it! This place deserves to be a lot more busier than it typically is.“

“I have been going to Ohana Teriyaki for years. Always great yaki. Today I went in to grab some take-out and found out that the owners sold to a new owner. I met him, he was working the front counter. Apparently it had only been 6 days since the sale. He kept the ENTIRE kitchen staff. I brough home our beef yaki and chicken katsu combos and they were great. It was delicious, hot and he got the orders out fast. Will continue to go to Ohana as long as the quality stays top notch. Highly Recommended.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ve been going to this place for years. Possibly decades. It’s not fancy, but if you want good quick teriyaki made to order, ready to pick up on the way home (with an advance order)? This place is your spot.

The gyoza is done especially right in my honest opinion.“

“Fantastic teriyaki spot! The food is delicious, fresh and not sparing in any of its ingredients. The pricing is unbeatable for what you get and salad is included with menu items that normally would not receive a salad elsewhere. You can't talk about this place without mentioning the phenomenal staff! They are very kind and very helpful. This is far and away my favorite teriyaki place!
PS try the combo yakisoba it is delicious!“

“I’ve been coming to Nasai Teriyaki for just over 10 years for my Teriyaki fix, and they’re consistently the best around. It’s actually hard for me to eat teriyaki elsewhere because Nasai is just that good. Things are made to order (and they ask me for level of spice!), and the resulting flavor is perfectly charred and absolutely delicious.

I always get the spicy chicken & gyoza combo, but also love their chicken yakisoba. My household will always go out of our way to eat here when we have a teriyaki craving!

Easy strip mall location with a parking lot, and the folks running this small business are so kind and hardworking. I hope to continue to visit for many more years!“

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“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.“

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

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary today (on a Monday evening) and we were very pleasantly surprised that we were the only people dining here this evening. Everything was absolutely perfect: the food, the hospitality, and the service. The sukiyaki was arguably the best dish I've had in 2025. Also, having a private dinner where chef Nori was cooking for just us two made things extra special. We've dined at Michelin starred restaurants but the dining experience here will leave a more lasting impression for my wife and I.“

“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“

“Just moved to the area from Bellevue, I've eaten at over 30 teriyaki places across the east side and Seattle. This place is insanely good and a crazy good value. Got the spicy chicken and a chicken katasu. Blown away at how well prepared the food was.

Friendly, fast service.

I will be coming back again and again to try everything on the menu.“

“I always love coming to this place because they always have great portion sizes and excellent customer service. I am a frequent customer and in my opinion one of the best teriyaki places in the area!! One of the many things I love eat here is the Korean fried chicken which is only available during dinner time it doesn’t need sauce to make it taste amazing but when you have it with the sauce it elevates the flavor more and each time I order anything from the menu, you can tell everything is fresh and piping hot when you get it! This business deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion and I recommend this place to all my customers at my place of work. 10/10 in my book!“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The food quality is not as good as it used to be. The sushi rice fell apart to the touch. Other foods were good. It was very busy with people waiting for seats to open. We felt uncomfortable to order dessert with people eying or table. Maybe the large number of costumers makes it difficult to maintain the quality of sushi...“

“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!“

“Classic greater-Seattle area teriyaki place.
The portion size is on par with most places roughly three thighs two mounds of rice and a little iceberg lettuce salad.
The chicken was very lightly marinated, but fresh and chargrilled to a perfect juiciness.
A light sauce that hits the salty sweet balance of a teriyaki sauce, not thick or gloppy.
The gyoza are crisp and filled adequately no surprises there.
The menu is simple in comparison to most teriyaki places that have a wide range of other Asian fare, this was more straightforward.
Overall, a solid teriyaki joint and worth checking out.“

“Such a awesome sushi Restaurant!! Been coming here many times. They actually have everything here for reals!! Such a great place to come with your friends and family. Amazing Sushi with great service and ambience. There Dine in and Take out is amazing. Sunrise roll and Asian fusion roll a must have. The Happy Hour is amazing many sushi rolls to choose from at a great price. Also has the Late Night Happy Hour that runs from 8:30pm till 10pm and 10:30pm on weekends. The lounge bar is so cool where I can play games. Watch Sports and get my sushi and drink on. Must check out the Japanese Life Size Robot Figures! So awesome to look at in person. This is the place to go where you get a great experience. And it's a well put together sushi place.“

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

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“One of the best take out Teriyaki Chicken I have had. We will definitely be back for more.“

“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.“

“Good friendly service. Good flavorful food. Good portions.
Plus all other free amenities like this delicious free Miso soup, clean cold water, free hot tea. ( Self serve)
Reasonable prices. Clean atmosphere. Convenient location. Lots of parking“

“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 order to go from here a few times a month, my husband loves the spicy chicken teriyaki. Super friendly and the food never disappoints.“

“First time at Toshi's Teriyaki Bellevue. Our group had a sampling of several menu items including the half chicken, the beef skewers, the shrimp skewers, teriyaki chicken & Yakisoba, potstickers and eggrolls. All were very quick to be prepared and yummy. Staff was super friendly.“

“Could only show 10 of the 25 dishes served! Becoming my favorite omakase in the Seattle area!“
