50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Woodinville

“Good, above-average teriyaki spot. The only thing it’s missing I think is stir-fried vegtables. The steamed veggies are an upgrade from the standard salad side but stir-fried veggies included with the chicken teriyaki would elevate the dish to by far the best in the area and would make Teriyaki Bowl a regular spot for me and the family!“

“This place goes above and beyond! The staff is so kind and friendly, making sure your experience is perfect. Had a chance to chat with the staff and you can tell how much they care for their customers experience. Food came out so quickly and the plates were big! If you dine in there is complimentary egg drop soup as well. I wish I lived closer I would come so often!“

“Very tasty. However, I was a little concerned about their health department rate. Very low. Which is concerning, dealing with seafood. Not sure what happened. My food tasted fresh and delicious 🤷🏽‍♀. I didn’t get sick or anything. Still running a place under okay rate is somewhat worrisome“

“The best teriyaki I’ve ever eaten. The teriyaki at most other restaurants is too salty. The prices are very reasonable and we received excellent service. I didn’t rate the atmosphere more than 3 stars because it isn’t a fancy restaurant, but that wasn’t important to me. But it was very clean.“

“We had such a wonderful lunch here! The lunch menu was reasonably priced, and everything was delicious. We couldn’t stop smiling and laughing throughout the entire meal.
It was such a fun and memorable experience. I’m already looking forward to coming back and would love to bring all my friends next time!“

“Delicious rolls. The freshest fish. And there is no better meal before drinking too much wine!“

“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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and great service, amazing food!“

“sushi AND ramen? Yessirrr!!

Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the ramen and sushi options here.

I've tried other places that specialize in making ramen. Sadly none of them really impressed me and would usually opt out for pho instead. But here, they got ramen RIGHT.

Hear me out, the black sesame squid ink ramen?? FIRE. The soup got that addictive nutty taste to it - this is my favorite ramen.

For seafood bowls, raw seafood and rice ratio is fair. Nice thick cuts of fish. Reasonable to the price.“

“My grandfather introduced me to Toshi's teriyaki back in the early 90s. After 3 decades of trying other teriyaki spots throughout this state, I have yet to find a better one. This is a real gem of the great northwest. thank you Toshi“

“This place is next level! Best tempura I’ve ever experienced. Will definitely be back.“

“This is my go-to teriyaki spot! I usually get the chicken teriyaki, and it’s always delicious and grilled perfectly. The portions are generous, and the food is consistently fresh and satisfying. The owner is absolutely wonderful—she’s so kind, personable, and always makes you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a great teriyaki place, I highly recommend this spot. Definitely one of my favorites!“

“Area is for the most part a restaurant desert. Parking lot is small. If you don't live nearby, please leave room for nearby residents by parking at Husky Stadium.“

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“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 ❤️“

“What a fantastic sushi-spot find! On a whim I went to Tourai Sushi and chowed down on 6 of their special rolls the first time I came in. This place also sells MASSIVE platters of quality sushi. My only regret is I ordered rolls first instead of a family platter for myself. The owners are so polite and kind, that alone will have me coming back.“

“A fantastic 8-course meal! Delicious, fresh, authentic Japanese food with the highest quality ingredients & unique presentation! Service & atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming ... The entire omekase experience was One of the best we experienced in the States (or in Japan).
Chef Nori Morita is meticulous & very talented. Is was a joy for us to just watch him work. He & the entire team are very dedicated to providing the highest quality & a beautiful experience for all guests.
I wouldn't be surprised if this restaurant earns their first Michelin star in the next couple years“

“Absolutely phenomenal service and food. We had recently visited Japan and were looking for Omakase in Seattle that would match the style and quality of what we had experienced there and Wataru hit the spot.

The red bluefin tuna and the Spanish mackerel were particular highlights along with the Anagi. An absolutely splendid 17 courses. We look forward to coming back soon to enjoy Chef Kumita’s sushi.“

“Fantastic quality and portion sizes. Some of the best chicken and beef Teryaki I’ve had. It’s incredibly fresh with a smokiness and you can tell the owners really care about the taste of their food. Nice people as well. My go to spot from now on.“

“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😘😋😍“

“Phenomenal dinner experience at Yoshi Teriyaki.

Food wise, the chicken teriyaki arrived sizzling, with excellent temperature and texture, and a savory yet not too sweet teriyaki. The sushi also cannot be missed: my Hawaiian roll (tuna heavy) was exceptional, both the spicy tuna and tuna atop tasted fresh and the roll was well constructed and balanced.

Service was superb: my order was taken and within 5-7 minutes my food was delivered to my table. I was also checked in on several times for any concerns, of which there were none.

The restaurant itself is cutely decorated, with small details that mimics dinner spots in Japan.

I plan to come back to Yoshi Teriyaki whenever I’m in Edmonds/Everett, and I recommend you do as well.“

“Must go spot. Super delicious hidden gem spot for convenient and fast Korean and Japanese takeout! The ladies who run this place are so sweet and friendly and add lots of filling to their gimbaps! Highly recommend their galbi gimbap and katsu curry which was fried fresh on the spot and was steaming hot and crunchy. The galbi gimbap had the perfect combo of veggies and the galbi was cooked extremely tender.

The ambiance is so homey and feels like I’m in a nostalgic Korean drama. Really wish I had a momo bento close to where I live because I would go everyday just for their galbi gimbap. Please give the aunties a lot of business and stop by momo bento for a meal that tastes like home❤“

“Second time ordering here, and safe to say this is my new favorite spot for sushi. You can taste the freshness, care, and incredible flavor. They’re consistent and just great overall. Will be ordering here on the regular! Udon noodles and spicy tuna HIGHLY recommend.“

“2 orders of shrimp Yakisoba to go... 3 positives: Lots of noodles and veggies. A very big portion. Also, three sauces, also nice taste. 1 negative: the shrimp were extremely over cooked. Almost inedible. Which is unfortunate because there were a good plenty.“

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

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

“There is true joy in a calming meal. There is even greater joy in a cozy late night meal. We're greatly looking forward to our next visit, and I would like to say an extra thank you to Kim, who was refreshingly enthusiastic and kind. I hope my more exhausted maner didn't seem like I was disappointed in my meal. I was very pleased and inspired, Shinya Shokudō is definitely worth gate keeping to be sure but joy is best shared. Thank you again for a lovely and refreshing meal.“

“Come hungry! The portions are very generous. The food quality is very good and the prices very reasonable. This is definitely one of my new favorite teriyaki places in the area now!

The area is very clean and the lady serving food is very nice and welcoming!“

“Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Teriyaki“

“10/10 best teriyaki and sweet and sour chicken in town, for teriyaki the spicy level 3 is good and sweet and sour is good flavor and crunchy (not like the fast food pink sauce popcorn chicken a lot of places like to do). I usually get extra chicken for both teriyaki and sweet and sour and it comes to about $45. Maybe 2 out of my 30+ times here the teriyaki was smokey“

“I always get the vegetarian bento box, which has a nice variety and always fills me up and then some.“

“Spicy tuna, crispy rice, you’re tired and is chasing the dragon.“

“So glad this place got new ownership. If you have not tried this place do it. I got the Beef Yakisoba and minus the green peppers and zucchini Soooo Good. Portion was big and worth the price. Meat delicious, flavor delicious and will definitely be coming back.“

“Today was my first time trying this restaurant. I went there because they have many vegan options. The food was delicious! The service was excellent. I’m definitely going back.“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

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

“want to recommend Kami Teriyaki in totem lake Kirkland because, for me, it is one of the best teriyaki places I have ever had in Washington, and honestly in my life.

I am a regular customer, and when I am not eating at the restaurant, I also order delivery. It is my favorite place for teriyaki.

I highly recommend it because it offers fresh and delicious food, very generous portions, fair prices, and very good service. The owners are very kind, and I only have positive things to say about this place.

It is my favorite teriyaki restaurant. Thank you, Kami Teriyaki.“

“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“

“Nothing short of amazing. We are gluten free and the calamari is the best we have ever had. Great Sake selection and the widest range fresh fish to choose from. It is our new favorite in town. Ask for Ivan at the bar. He is an amazing bartender and can speak to you about all the menu options.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“We had a great experience! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal!“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed the spicy chicken teriyaki here! The flavor had a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the portions were generous. I also really appreciated the complimentary soup with dine-in orders—it’s surprisingly rare to see that these days! The bentos are also a great deal for the price, with good portions and plenty of variety. Definitely a place I’d come back to!“

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

“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.“

“Feels like coming home..
I used to come here every single week about 15 years ago but life changed and i didn’t come back for almost a decade. BUT when i walked through that door yesterday, i was met with the biggest welcoming smiles! The owner recognized me and happily served me & my sister a most comforting huge plate of juicy flavorful spicy chx teriyaki that just hit the spot and fed our souls 🔥 I hope this business stays open forever so i can bring my kids here some day.“

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