Eat here. Just plain and simple for the TL;DR crowd. It's a nice little Cafe. The Sushi was excellent, the people care about their customers, and it was a reasonably priced meal for the amount of Sushi my SO and I can put away. Well worth a visit in my opinion. read more

First time eat here. Really love that they have a lunch special menu from 11-3p. Food was really good & staff were super nice. We didn't expected to have a little sampler before our food came out so it was a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed the kimbap so I hope it ends up going on the menu. Sushi was good. Boyfriend enjoyed his bento. And also was surprised with oranges for after our meal. All and all it was really good and would love to come back to try other items on the menu! read more

I use to go to the teriyaki place in this location and it was OK. But a new family bought this place a couple of months ago and I have to say it was a great upgrade. The fish was fresh and presntation was wonderful. It good to see is a family run restaurant. The daughter is serving and parents making the food. They are really friendly. I hope they do really well here. I was worried that some of the reviews on here were bad but it from the old Teriyaki restaurant. I wanted to give them a good current review. Any review before November of 2025 is for the old restaurant and old owners. Will be back. read more

(Updating my 2* review) NEW OWNERS! The server (owner) was extremely sweet and attentive! They definitely gave this place the face lift it needed. It's much more sushi oriented now, but still has tons of menu options of all sorts. I'm slightly curious if the owner recognized me from my old review lol because she refilled my miso for free and gave me a discount coupon for next time! I got the 3 choice bento box and I will say it is worth the money. The music had some great unexpected bangers while I was there as well. I will surely be returning here to try more menu options since I'm in the area so often. She also put the rest of my sprite in a to go cup and refilled it. It really was my opinion of 5 star worthy meal, thank you guys! read more

This place is pretty cool. We arrived shortly before closing and the staff is extremely friendly. The sushi is really fresh and flavorful. The prices are also comparable to restaurants in the area. I ordered the bulgogi plate and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I really loved the spicy fried rice with the house made white sauce, trust me you want to add the white sauce. Overall, cool quick spot for good food, would recommend. read more

Excellent customer service! Delicious fresh food! Big portions enough for leftovers tomorrow!! Clean and comfortable atmosphere. Will definitely return on a regular basis! read more

I stopped in and picked up chicken teriyaki with rice and a salad. While I was waiting, they gave me a cup of miso soup. The food was excellent and the chicken was juicy. The employees were really friendly. They also serve sushi and bento boxes. I look forward to trying new items in the near future. read more

Great service! Fast and friendly. Ordered two spicy tuna rolls and a bento box to go. Good value.

I loved the food and the amazing customer service. I would 100 percent recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is so calm and injoyable .

Came here for Valentine's Day and the food was delicious! I ordered the rainbow roll and pork fried rice, the fish was super fresh and the rice was well cooked and yummy. My boyfriend got the combo A and also liked his food. They gave us heart macaroons after for dessert and me a rose which was so sweet. The owners and server are super kind and we will definitely be coming back! read more

Food and service were great. Server was nice and generous. Ambiance of the location just felt like a hole in a wall restaurant ran by a family. read more

I'd have to call this place a humongous discovery. The portions were humongous and very delicious. I'm a big sashimi lover and they did not disappoint. The rules were also really good. Very nice spicy tuna roll. The miso is excellent and loved my seaweed salad to go with. Pretty exceptional service from very friendly folks. I will be going back regularly. read more

I really like giving small, mom & pop places a chance because you can find some real gems that way. I imagine this place has some dishes that are good. The gyoza was not bad, not wonderful. The shrimp "tempura" was not. It was simply thin, fried shrimp. It was pretty good in that it was hot and crispy. I'm a stickler for crispy but this was not tempura! Very disappointed and pissed because it's basically false advertising. I'm guessing years ago is actually was tempura, but it's not now. They need to change their photo and description. Because of this, I will never come back and try anything else. read more

I dropped in on my way to UPS next door, the place smelled so good i couldn't resist! I ordered a chicken teriyaki combo with miso soup, salad , rice and dumplings. Everything was delicious and new owners Sarah and Joy were very kind and attentive. I also tried their hot sauce which was also perfect. I'll be back for sure! read more

Excellent food & service. A great place to eat!! We are certainly coming back to enjoy the fine food!! Tell your friends!! This is the place to go!! read more

A. Ok. Not the best, but not the worst. Overall, the flavor profile was on the sweet side. Price was VERY reasonable for the amount of food. For $35, I had plenty left over to make another 2 meals out of my order. The cashier was also super kind. I stopped by around 6:45 pm after dropping something off at UPS and was feeling lazy to go anywhere else, so I took the chance to try it out. The place was empty when I walked in. I took a chance and peeped the menu. Menu thankfully had some great choices, including pho, which is the first time I've seen pho at a teriyaki joint. I'll have to stop by again to see how their pho stacks up. I got the chicken katsu/teriyaki combo and the tempura dinner. Katsu was standard, while the chicken teriyaki was a little sweet for me. The tempura dinner had an awesome variety of veggies - sweet potato, carrots, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, and 2 shrimp. Would have been perfect had the batter been less sweet. Each order came with rice and a salad, both were cooked/prepared to standard. Overall this is a decent spot for quick, satisfactory food. Prolly not my go-to teriyaki joint but would stop by in a pinch. read more

Ordered katsu chicken, teriyaki, gyoza and avocado rolls and get home to discover NO sauce on katsu --plus the chicken is so hard it's inedible. Oh, and no gyoza. Tried to call but phone number does not work. Ridiculous -$49 down the drain. read more

Appa Sushi & Bento Teriyaki - Katsu chicken?? - Japanese Near Me - Kent, Washington

I went here to go eat after shopping at the goodwill nearby and it was honestly pretty good. If I was close by I would come here again, but it wasn't mind-blowingly delicious. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but I don't really have any problems with this place. The prices did go up due to COVID and inflation, so that's a downside, but at least it's not like $20 for a plate of teriyaki, it was $10.99 I believe. Just +$1-2 to the menu you find online and that's pretty accurate. The staff was nice and it's just a little store close by. I have no issues with this place and think that if anyone was nearby, they should definitely check it out. read more

Terrible service gave the wrong order in arguing with me for 15 minutes thinking that I had taken extra food when the cook had to come out from the kitchen and explain to the owner that he made the wrong food then she said oh I'm sorry.. never to return again read more

After trying a plethora of other locations, this is the best place I've ever been to for teriyaki. We always get the chicken teriyaki and the beef teriyaki's pretty good too. The Mongolian beef is so flavorful but feels very light to eat. I usually don't like beef, but wouldn't mind ordering it from this place! The portions are generous. The decor's not the best but it's not dirty either. The owner's super nice; she wished me a happy new year and even turned on the heater and placed it near my table since it was freezing out. I'll give it 4 stars since I've only tried the teriyaki and Chinese entree menu and can't speak for the other items. read more

The staff (owners?) are very nice, but go for the Teriyaki. DO NOT go for the sushi. Their spicy tuna roll has an "off" flavor that hits you in the back of the throat. And the spicy sauce they use for it is Sriracha. X-[ Their teriyaki is decent though. I'd have preferred it to be spicier, but they never even asked how spicy. I was adequate. The rice they serve with it is perfect though. Mmmm. read more

The teriyaki and the yakisoba wasn't the best, but I'm giving one extra star for the customer service. The owner was very friendly. She made sure we had water to drink, and when my boyfriend went outside to take a phone call, she brought saran wrap over to cover his plate so his food would stay warm...never seen that before. I would try this place again just because of the service. read more

I got the chicken teriyaki bento. The food was decent but small portions and kinda spendy for $20

I've been craving teriyaki for weeks and just decided to go to this one since I've seen it passing home. I came with my two kids and ordered a chicken bento box which was so delicious! Not only did she bring the bento box out she saw I had two kids and asked if I needed xtra plates and I said yes. The sweetest thing is she brought them out with rice in them so that my kids don't have to share the small scoop with me lol. It was such a nice gesture although my littlest one didn't eat much of it, this place definitely gained a customer by such nice service. The whole time my son ate he just kept saying "mom the food is good!" I'm so glad I choose this place to fulfill my craving & I'll be coming back! read more

Good food!! Really close to home so this is our new spot :) friendly customer service.

A little more money that the regular fast food teriyaki places around but the food is a little better. Great variety, with Bento boxes, Cali rolls, stirfrys, and bulgogi along with the regular teriyaki over rice. We got Bento boxes with chicken katsu to go which cost 10.95. I thought the chicken was going to be teriyaki because the menu wasn't very clear. It was still pretty good- we got salad, fried shrimp, and a bunch of california rolls and some chicken katsu that was a little dried out. It took a while for them to get 4 meals going but we were pretty happy with what we got. I need to eat in the restaurant before I give more than 3 stars. read more

Ordered take out. Inside appeared reasonably clean. Food was flavorful. Value was very reasonable. I had the well done Pho. The broth was very rich and clear which means fresh! Yum! My friend got the Teriyaki Pork and Chicken. He says the Teriyaki sauce was more rounded and flavorful than our usual place "Country Burger". Looks like we have a new favorite place. There is a lot of variety in their menu. I am looking forward to trying other things here as well. read more

Before I post this I want to say, I've only been once, and only had the Pho. So the teriyaki, sushi and whatever else might be phenomenal. The pho, however, is awful. I've eaten pho at probably 20 or 30 places from Olympia all the way to Seattle. The broth was a strange flavor I've never had in a Vietnamese place, and the meatballs tasted like they were straight out of a freezer bag. It was really bad. Seriously, go one block north to Pho Mau, the pho there is legit and the price is better. Or if you are headed south on 5, do yourself a favor and go to Pho Dragon on 38th in Tacoma, or Pho PQ on Bridgeport in Lakewood. read more

Their pho was horrible. It was spaghetti noodles in boiled cabbage water. No flavor. The lady working was friendly.

I don't normally write reviews, so I'm keeping it short and simple. One of my favorite teriyaki places I can find here in Kent. I can see why some people might not like this place (particularly the interior is kind of bland), but trust me when I say that the food is worth coming here. The meat is full of flavor and the rice is perfect! If you find yourself here on the Valley, stop by here for a good meal and I'm sure you won't be disappointed! read more

Mediocre teriyaki. The beef has no grill marks and was pretty chewy. The chicken was better but still not great. They skimp on the teriyaki sauce and what they gave you wasn't as flavorable as I'm used to. The salad was fine though like most teriyaki places it's mostly just lettuce. But the salad dressing was good, maybe the highlight of a 'meat meal'. You may or may not enjoy the religious programming on the radio. read more

I stumbled upon this place about 3 years ago while driving through Kent Washington. We have been there over a hundred times since. I am addicted to Teriyaki and am very picky about it and this place has hit my stomach and made it Happy again and again. Their menu is a combination of Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean. The menu is outstanding from top to bottom. The ingredients are extremely fresh, as well as large serving sizes and great prices. It is located in the K-Mart parking lot in Kent Washington........try it you will love it fore sure! Happy Customer, Terry read more

I got takeout from here for the first time. my husband ordered the beef fried rice and I got the well done chicken pho. both were very flavorful and had plenty of portion size. for those of you complaining the chicken was dry, its called well done for reason . which means it's supposed to be dry. if you don't want the dried chicken get the chicken teriyaki pho. problem solved. they have a lot of variety and I look forward to going back and trying more of their delicious food. read more

I ordered through DoorDash tonight. I ordered 2 chicken teriyaki and one chicken pho. They gave us 3 chicken teriyaki and no pho! Super disappointed as this wasn't a hard order to screw up! read more

I ordered the Teriyaki and was not happy. I took a couple bites and couldn't eat anymore it was aweful. I figured maybe it could of just been a issue with meat or something giving the resuruant the benifit of the doubt but when I went to talk to the lady behind the counter she couldn't of cared less. I left my food there and will not be returning again. The customer service was just as bad as the food. read more

Cool place to eat. I also ordered the yakisoba and chicken here and it was delicious. It was the first time I had yakisoba noodle and the portion size was gigantic. I ended up eating it for four meals it was such a large portion size. Owner was nice to me and it was a quant place to chill on my lunch break. read more

I eat here to get my teriyaki or sushi fix, but otherwise, it's nothing special. The owner has left out parts of my to-go order, and when I'm in the store, she'll ask if I want parts of my menu (i.e. miso soup). I paid for it, of course I want it! read more
