50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Woodinville

“Update Jan 2026*** I didn't know Teriyaki Bowl could get even better than it already is but now they offer the best crab rangoons and sweet and sour dipping sauce! I have tried so many dissapointing rangoons/sauces in WA but finally Teriyaki Bowl for the win! Thank you! Not sure if they are offered online but definitely in store.

OG Post - Delicious food, clean and cute environment, large portions, and very friendly service! We tried the fried gyozo, chicken teriyaki, and general tso chicken (pictured) and everything was amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly for both and the sauces were delicious! The general tso was one of the best I have had in a long time. Saucy, crispy, no dry or chewy pieces, all just juicy yummy crispy chicken. I enjoyed all the added veggies too! The salad looked and tasted so fresh with a tasty dressing. I love that you can buy bottles of their homemade sauces. If you eat inside, the presentation of the food is really nice. I can't wait to try more items from the menu. We will definitely be coming back!“

“The food was very good, well portioned, and full of flavor. The ingredients were fresh and everything was cooked just right.

The owners are very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

Prices are fair for the quality offered. I definitely recommend it and would come back again.“

“We love King's Teriyaki!! I come here quite often to pick up food for my family. My kids love the gyoza appetizers, and almost everything we have gotten from here has been good. The staff are always friendly and polite and make me feel welcomed. I highly recommend giving them a try.“

“This has been my favorite place lately. Whether we eat at the restaurant or order to enjoy at home, the quality is always the same, everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. I’ve honestly never tried anything here that I didn’t really like.

Some of my favorites are the Koushi Sushi, Oita Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, and California Roll. Everything is always well prepared and full of flavor.“

“It was my daughter’s first time at a Japanese Steakhouse and Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse did not disappoint.

Chef Layton was hilarious, entertaining, and excellent at cooking Hibachi-style food.

Our Hibachi Chicken and Steak entrees were delicious. And their “Yummy Sauce” which you could use to dip ANYTHING — from the veggies to the chicken to the steak — was scrumptious.

The lighting needs to be brighter. The dim lights give a low energy vibe. This is why I gave the Food 5-stars, the Service 5-stars, but the Atmosphere 3-stars.“

“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.“

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

“Wonderful atmosphere and great service, amazing food!“

“The ramen selection is so unique! Went there with friends, there was wait even though it was past peak lunch hour. The waitlist goes fast but expect to wait 5+ mins to get seated.

Service was prompt and fast but nothing personal to note for. Their ramen was great!!
Original tonkotsu was super flavorful but not too heavy, and their seafood ramen was amazing too!! Can’t wait to go back to try their pesto and black sesame!“

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

“🥰🥰sushi、 ramen、Hibachi，Chinese wok“

“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.“

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

“Came here cos of the high reviews. The place was spacious and a few tables were occupied already at 5pm. We ordered Kaarage bento. Lion King special roll and the chirashi bowl. Everything was delicious. Lion King was seared salmon and unagi roll, it was very good. The chirashi to our surprise had some uni and unagi, which was a pleasant surprise, although it doesn't have amaebi, but better than what we usually get for chirashi bowl elsewhere. Not sure if it depends on the days availability. Service was nice, we will definitely come back.“

“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“

“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 ❤️“

“this is honestly my favorite teriyaki spot ever. me and my boyfriend go here all the time, it’s our go-to place when we just want something good and comforting. the food is always sooo good, like consistently, never disappoints.

the guy who works there is always so nice and friendly, every time we come in he somehow puts us in a better mood. just super sweet energy.

this time we got the spicy pork bulgogi (on the photo) and it was so good, but honestly everything we’ve tried here so far has been perfect. we love it!“

“My husband and I chose Towa to celebrate our birthdays, and we were truly impressed. The presentation, service, and freshness of the ingredients were all exceptional. If you are seeking a refined fine-dining experience for a special occasion in Redmond, this is a fantastic choice.“

“we order from them on Uber Eats delivery a lot and it’s always great quality! They forgot a bag of ours and one of the workers personally drove it out to us with complimentary soda. Amazing service. This will be our #1 teriyaki spot from now on.“

“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.“

“What they lack in space they make up for in freshness, flavor and presentation. Tried lots of different rolls and the chicken teriyaki w gyoza and it was all amazing. P.S. komorebi is a Japanese word for light peeking through the leaves of trees and casting patterns. Perfect name for a such a little spot with such beautiful food.“

“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!“

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

“I already went to the teriyaki place like six times, literally the best teriyaki best people kindest hard-working fast and you get a free drink included with your teriyaki. I love the spicy chicken teriyaki it literally tastes like it’s homemade not like a lot of that cheap mass produce stuff. I could see myself coming here literally every week, and I might just do that!“

“My friends and I went to Shinya Shokudo today and has the best time ever! Crystal our server was absolutely amazing and was very sweet! We had a million questions and every single time she was willing to answer. Our food was always very on time and even when splitting up the check she dealt with our request with no issue! 10/10 would recommend!“

“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 chicken, beef, teriyaki is really good. Combination yakisoba is great, same with the California rolls. They have big portions too and plenty of meat. The people at the counter are very friendly and meals are usually ready within 10-15 minutes.“

“Hands down, the best teriyaki place in Washington state. Love the portion size and the smoky flavor always hits the spot. Only things that I'd recommend is to get the sauce on the side, because I personally don't like it having too much sauce, it gets a bit salty.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Amazing food, even greater prices and employees. Lovely little spot, it's always clean and well kept. I can tell they get busy, the workers are hustling, major respect. The portions are amazing, they don't skimp out, the quality is 👍👍👍 My go to teriyaki spot“

“Great foods and awesome service!“

“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“

“Teriyaki Plus in Kirkland has good flavor and generous portions. The food tasted good overall, but a couple of things bothered me: the shrimp was not properly cleaned and still had the black vein, and the teriyaki sauce was used too heavily, which made the rice taste overly sweet, almost like candy.“

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

“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!“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“A diamond in the rough! Great food and the owner is friendly and personable. I will return. I had the chicken teriyaki and there was plenty of food as I was very hungry after a long morning of doing chores and yard work.“

“Hera helped me out so much! She was kind, attentive, and the food was amazing! So rich in flavor and they were pretty fast at getting my order! I’ll definitely definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Good food as always. we ate there with my co-workers for lunch today and it was so good i have to go back to buy some for dinner to take home.“

“I have been coming to gget sushi rolls at this place for years and they have never failed to impress me with how delicous every roll ive tried has been! Their sushi has fresh ingridents and somehow from this specific place it is the perfect comfort food, leaving you feeling warm and satisfied after a few sushi rolls.“

“Food and service is great!“
