This is a nice little teriyaki shop. The only complaint i have is that they put way too much pepper in their wonton soup.

Great no frills teriyaki food. Nice people and quick service. Always space to sit down, I highly recommend if you're in the area.

I'm also a longtime customer. Looks like new owners again. That's nothing new in this type of restaurant. Overall the food is good but the quality of rice has been better in the past. I have not had any issues with incorrect orders. read more

I love this place. I normally go here once a week and get the regular sized chicken teriyaki. They offer brown rice as well, which is always nice. It's great, fast, and cheap food with very friendly service. read more

Himitsu Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Great food with bigger portions than average. By far Best salad with teriyaki combos.

I've ate here probably 60-75 times now so I figure I should probably write a follow up. Sue is amazing and always gives the best customer service. She's very good at multi-tasking, which is great because this place is always busy with dine-in and take-out orders. I swear the phone never stops ringing. After 3 years of coming here on a regular basis I have to say that the food is just as good as it was back then, if not better. It's rare to find consistency in the food industry. Sue and her family have done an amazing job with their business. I hope it remains successful for many more years to come! read more

AMAZING!!!! Bar none the best teriyaki around. We go once a week. I usually stick to my usual, but Derek tries a little of everything, and has never been dissapointed. For sure start with the regular chicken teriyaki. The owner is a very sweet woman. We have gotten to know her over the years and really hope she stays around!!! read more

YUMMY!!! We get take-out here occasionally, and it is ALWAYS ALWAYS AWESOME. The simple stir-fried chicken or shrimp and veggies, SO good. My hubby usually gets a bento box, and everything in it rocks. They're super super nice, and give you hot tea or water while you wait. And they have brown rice if you want it- yayy! We have never actually eaten here, but the place is really clean and nice. I can get a chicken entree for dinner for around $8, and have enough leftover for lunch the next day- THAT is a good deal. =) read more

This is a hidden gem and about the best bang for your lunch dollar in the area. Good quality meat perfectly cooked and seasoned. read more

See all

This has been my family's go-to place for ordering teriyaki for years. Even though management has changed, the food is still great, especially the beef teriyaki and chicken fried rice! I would definitely recommend it if you're in the Redmond Ridge area. read more

Good price, good food. Stopped by for lunch many times while working. Anything with chicken is always good. The lady who works here is super nice and recognizes me as I come by so often. Free water while I wait for my lunch! Awwww yes. read more

So I relocated back to the Seattle-area for work from Phoenix where the teriyaki es no bueno. To be able to find a Yaki-joint the caliber of Himitsu just minutes away from my work on Redmond Ridge is what earns it five stars. Is Himitsu my favorite teriyaki ever? No. It's certainly close (maybe #2 or #3) though. All the food here is great tasting, seriously I have zero complaints there. The food is slightly on the spendy side (that's Redmond Ridge for you) but it's justified. If I am little low a cash I'll order yaki from the place next to QFC instead, so this is where I'd treat myself with absolute deliciousness if the bank will allow for it. The owners are super duper nice. The decor inside is quaintly small yet very inviting; there was a recent remodel as some lady ran her car through the storefront awhile back. The wait is typically not long unless you hit lunch rush - if you order ahead of time you'll be fine. In the meals, the salad and its dressing are great for the style you would expect. The teriyaki sauce is on the sweet side (more so brown sugar based than heavily soy) and is almost addictive. The gyoza is never soggy and hits the spot every time. If you're in the area and/or willing to go up Novelty Hill (Redmond Ridge) to get some teriyaki this is a place that'll pop into my head each time as a possibility. I wouldn't eat here on a budget, but if flavor is what you savor this is the place to stuff your face. Ya dig? read more

This is probably one of my husband's favorite carry-out places! Everything we've had is excellent! :-D We love the fried rice with chicken. It is awesome and very flavorful...it reminded me of my favorite rice in the world- the fried rice at Benihana....except Himitsu is way closer! My husband loves the chicken/beef teriyaki combo, salad and miso soup! I think the egg rolls are delicious. However, they are deep fried and sometimes make me feel a little sick, but they're SOOO worth it lol! Although I gave this place 5 stars, there is one thing I don't like. I ordered chicken with broccoli from here (usually my favorite) and it came with a ton of cabbage- which I hate. I had to pick all of it out and by the time I was done, I was so frustrated. I wanted it to just be chicken and broccoli only. The owner is the nicest lady ever! She's so sweet and pleasant. I like getting great local, kind service and it always makes our dining out experience great! read more

Spicy chicken teriyaki is my favorite. Good people, fast service and great food! read more

Himitsu Teriyaki - Spicy chicken teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I like their noodles And I like it with Teriyaki sauce They have the best service I am the most friendliest service

Just tried this place for the first time last night. We've been to the Ixtapa next door a couple times, and I drive by it twice a day on my commute, but hadn't really even noticed it before. Walked in at about 8:55 pm - right before closing and lady at counter was gracious and said it was fine to eat in despite the late hour. We chose to do take-out anyway, as it seemed lame to keep them there and we were tired anyway. She was very friendly and helped us with suggestions. We chose the Himitsu Combo (chicken teriyaki with a spring roll and a couple of gyoza), the chicken breast teriyaki, chicken yakisoba, spring rolls, and gyoza. Everything was very tasty and my wife felt fine afterwards (she is extremely sensitive to MSG and other artificial taste enhancers - often getting sick even when a restaurant claims not to use MSG...). read more

I don't understand the hype. I ordered the spicy chicken but the meat had little flavor. It was slathered with sauce and that's all I could taste. This might be the only teriyaki in Redmond Ridge but there are much better teriyaki out there. read more

I think the owners have changed which might have accounted for the change in the food. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box and the "veggie tempura" was a deep fired hash browns patty?????? read more

Himitsu Teriyaki is one of the best places to get Seattle Style Teriyaki. Nestled away in Market Place off Novelty Hill, Himitsu (like so many teriyaki places) is unassuming and tucked in to the scene. However what separates this place from others like it are 3 major things: 1 - Very neat, tidy, and clean! Really it's a very nice and appetizing environment to enjoy dining in, not just a place to pick-up food and leave. 2 - Exceptionally accommodating and friendly service! At many of these places it is the interaction with the man or woman behind the counter that makes the difference. Sue always lovely and pleasant to customers - both new and revisiting. 3 - Delicious Teriyaki! For some reason, whenever I leave Himitsu I never feel as sluggish or food hungover as I do other establishments. The food tastes cleaner, and fresher than most places. You really can notice the care put into the teriyaki and gyoza served at Himitsu. Even if I am miles away from Himitsu, if me and my friends are craving really good Seattle teriyaki, I'd happily drive past 20 teriyaki joints to get the taste and quality of service this place provides. Take it from a local teriyaki addict, of 20 years! Order Chicken & Beef Combo w/Gyoza read more

BEST BEEF TERIYAKI EVER! This place is kind of far from me but I would drive there when I crave their beef. I do not know what their secret is but the beef is so tender that it makes me drool. The shop itself looks amazing as it is set up like a nice Japanese restaurant unlike most Teriyaki places. I got the chicken & beef combo and could not finish the whole thing myself. Keep on eating, diners! read more

After moving to Duvall last summer, I had determined that I was out of luck finding a good Teriyaki place between work and home. Was in this shopping plaza for a trip to the vet and needed to pick something up for dinner. Checked Yelp on my Win 7 phone and saw some good reviews and figured it was safe to try. THANK YOU YELPERS! This turned out to be a stop worth making. I had the chicken Teriyaki and the gyoza. Both were full of flavor and delish. The food was fresh and the order came out super quick. They definitely don't skimp on portions and both the Teriyaki and gyoza were more than enough for two. Lots of options on the menu so looking forward to another trip! Two thumbs up!! read more

This is our new neighborhood place since we moved in. They have a very easy to use menu with a great variety of dishes. It is very clean and the staff is very friendly. I love the fact that it is right across the street. read more

This is literally right next to my house and I was craving teriyaki. I ordered the bento box and it was delicious only thing was that they gave me one tempura two gyoza and a has brown patty? Like they ran out and decided has brown patties will suffice. Just weird but good. read more

There aren't a lot of choices for good Chinese/Japanese food in the area. We'd been to miyakos a few times up the road but this was quite superior. I had the spicy chicken teriyaki and was very impressed. Nothing astounding about the location, it's hidden in a strip mall but the food is absolutely amazing and worth the trip. read more

I got the Teriyaki Beef bento and it was DELICIOUS! There's so much food I couldn't possibly finish but you get a lot of variety, better than any bento I've had before. Beef teriyaki, a full California roll, salad, and tempura veggies and even a tempura shrimp. I loved it and definitely will be back. read more

Convenience is key for me on this place :) I get the chicken teriyaki and katsu combo about once a week. It is usually pretty good and portion size is good for the price. The Korean couple that run the place are very sweet and do a nice job with this franchised place. I haven't tried the sushi yet but the yakisoba is also good. read more

Best teriyaki spot in Redmond. Excellent customer service and not pricey at all. I'm here every week. read more

Himitsu Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I don't know what's going with the restaurant lately but guy taking orders and working in the front does not know ANYTHING about customer service. He refuses to give extra sauces even with huge orders(guy in front of me paid for $60 order) and he claims it's the "boss' rules". Same thing happened to my daughter and her boyfriend a week ago.Also, doesn't know the menu correctly, I asked a pretty easy question about my order when I called it in and just brushed it off and didn't care what the question was(seems to be a language barrier there)got home and sure enough, my order was partially incorrect . And last, the quality of the food. I ordered shrimp fried rice and aside from the "5" pieces of shrimp that came in the order, the shrimp were so old and gross, I ended up just picking them out, I couldn't eat them. Hopefully this changes. Such a shame. read more

Very friendly greeting every time I've been. I tend to make large orders to go and they never balk at the time it takes to take our order. Prices Very Reasonable and The Food Is amazing. We make the extra trip distance to go here as we have always been happy. read more

This is a great teriyaki place in Redmond. I love that I can get white meat only bento. The food is always fresh and the staff is always friendly. I am very particular about teriyaki and I have never been let down yet. The tempura is cooked nicely and never greasy. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are on Redmond Ridge. read more

Ordered lunch from himitsu on Uber eats. The chicken teriyaki bento box was delicious and high quality. Definitely recommend.

Himitsu,,,,I want to know your secret(=himitsu)!!!! I was surprised that when I searched "Himitsu" on yelp, many places came up. For me,,,,Himitsu wouldn't be my name choice for a Teriyaki place, but I think it's still a good name in a way of subtly being bold.....? lol I say subtle since Americans don't know it means secret...right? I'm sure if you knew,,,you would go in there thinking,,,,"I want to know your secret!!!" just like I did. I mean really,,,if it's in Japan, The name would be in a handwritten kind of font in black with neon pink back ground,,,the store sign can be flickering a bit at night,,, and it would be a shady bar with mediocre hostesses revealing their tired skin serving overworked husbands tasteless drinks. but anyway. This place isn't like that at all. I kind of feel bad about imagining such a scene for this place is like a TOTAL opposite. Very clean. Great service. I was just getting lunch at this "order & pay first" type of restaurant. BUT! he asked me,,,,would you like some water or Hot tea,,,,? ...Yes! I'd love a cup of tea.... And he came by to refill my tea cup later on. Unfortunately my cup was still kind of full. In my honest opinion,,,, the tea was bland. but i didn't pay for it, and it was brought for me to the table for free with a smile. Rice,,,,it's crucial,,,,rice was bad compare to the perfect Japanese white rice but no one has it that good anyway. Gyoza,,ok. Dipping sauce can be a lot better. *sigh* All u need is soy sauce, vinegar, and hot oil(ra-yu)....it's that simple but no one has it that way...just give me those three and i'll mix it myself,,,grrrrr Salad, I ate it all. More iceberg than anything. The dressing was fine. I just ordered Gyoza set because it could never disappoint me. I have very low expectation on Gyoza in America. It's always crappy. Deep fried and it always taste same. I didn't want to be disappointed on their teriyaki. I never ever liked teriyaki in the US. It's just wrong! Not right! Only place where had really good Teriyaki that I can just pour it on my bowl of rice and eat it all, is in San Diego. I worked there. My boss was the biggest Ahole(bigger than ur boss) so I don't want to reveal the name of the restaurant. But his Japanese food was real. I mean the mexican cook F-Chan was real deal. The boss trained him so I give him a credit but F-chan was the sweetest cook, and he cooked Japanese food better than my mom. So this teriyaki sauce which they make it from scratch with all kinds of vegetables and meat and other secret stuff,,,,was the BOMB.......lol and their ginger dressing.....OMG that was probably the best ginger dressing in the US too. (also made from scratch. they put all kinds of stuff in the mixer, push the button and voila!) So I digress. I don't eat out Japanese food because I simply hate to be disappointed by it. But Himitsu,,, the name and the location being in the mountain,,,pulled me in there and like other reviewers say, you can at least expect a great service, anytime, guaranteed. read more

Sue is a rockstar. Food is equal. When the owner and food both provide an equal positive experience, done.

The staff is friendly and at lunch you tend to get your food in a timely manner. We have been here a handful of times and I'd say the lunch food usually is a little dry and sometimes overcooked. If you get delivery, make sure to ask for extra condiments, as they tend to not put any on your teriyaki. Same if you are getting take-out, take a second while you are there to double check your food and add condiments/sauce. The rice often has come out solid/dry/in a hard, rubbery clump as opposed to sticky & moist...this has happened at lunch on the weekdays. We did eat there once on the weekend and I'd rate it 3.5-4 stars. But for the lunch crowd, I'd say it's average at best. read more

Always good food and friendly staff. The food is consistent and out in a pretty timely manner even when it's crowded. Nice atmosphere and reasonable prices for a filling amount of food. Would recommend. read more

This is the best Teriyaki around. I made the mistake of trying the place near QFC, but never again. The meat here is tender, everything is fresh and cooked perfectly, and they serve a good amount of food, not too much or too little. read more

Crap. They can't even take a 2 item order and get it right. It's all they do, take orders, make food. Then they completely ruin it with a bunch of pepper sauce crap we didn't order. Don't know why so many like this place. Waste of money. The sauce is gross and full if pepper. read more

Himitsu means "secret" in Japanese. I've lived in japan for over 14 years. This place is similar to what you'd find in the countryside in japan or close to onsen (hot spring bathing). Usually owned by an old couple, this place resembled something of a hole-in-the-wall. Being an adventurer daring to eat anything that use to roam the earth, I was skeptical. I thought it was going to be one of those fake japanese restaurants playing crappy Japanese music (which you never hear being played in Japanese restaurants. They played pop! Thank god. Tired of hearing stupid koto Japanese music a japanese restaurants. I felt relaxed and in japan! We ordered bento boxes and damn! They did it right! If you ever lived in japan, you'd buy such bento boxes for lunch but not as big as these! Prices are not that far off either so you are getting a great deal on these. The salad dressing is from kyupi which is a famous brand in japan. I freaking hate mayonnaise but Kyupi brand is what I love and what is served in their dressings; similar to the american ranch dressing. Ramen.....well, that us an art and what ramen makers die protecting it's ingredients. It's REALLY hard to find good ramen here. Here...pass. Bento box is the best and what keeps the locals living in that area. Service is Japanese style though the waitress is Korean. I think she lived in japan from the way she gave service. And the service in japan is always stated as "customer is god" and in which service, you will receive from here. I love it!!! read more

Very good teriyaki. Friendly Service. Place does tend to get busy and a take out order can take up to 30 minutes if ordering when arriving. Best to order ahead read more

Best Teriyaki ever. The owners are so nice and everything is homemade. Homemade sauce and homemade salad dressing, which are both amazing, and even better you can buy bottles of them! I love the Teriyaki chicken so much I just get it every time and the egg-rolls are so yummy! read more
