I wanted to try a new teriyaki place and saw some decent reviews for Himitsu teriyaki. I placed an online order and the location wasn't far from where I live. My first challenge was finding the price. They're outside sign is largely hidden by an enormous tree out front. It provides a nice shade for everyone who is parking nearby, but also obscures the name of the business. I ordered the house special yakisoba. I had high hopes for this as it was described as yucky soba noodles with vegetables, chicken, beef and two shrimp. Thetwo shrimp were there but I found the chicken to be overcooked and dry. Seasoning and sauce were OK and the beef was good. read more

Himitsu Teriyaki Restaurant - This place can be easy to miss as they're located on our corner and their sign is hit by a large tree out front - Japanese Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Food is always consistantly of excellent quality and staff is very kind. We have been eating here for over 15 years and have made through the menu a few times. read more

Always good food! Love the gyoza and Katsu chicken - seriously the best I've had ! Pricing is comparable. Simple, quaint ambiance. Eat in or to go works! read more

This is my local teriyaki joint. It is superior to anything else in Maple Valley, Covington and Kent. Great spicy chicken and chicken katsu. Large portions and friendly staff! read more

We ordered for delivery so I can't speak to the location, facilities or staff. The order itself was accurate and prepared correctly. Service speed was fair. The Chicken Katsu was really good! High quality meat with a great tasting, crispy crust and delicious sauce. Their Chicken Teriyaki had good quality meat, but I found it a bit overcooked and charred to the point where it was bitter. Their Fried Rice was under-seasoned and bland to my taste. Overall: Fair food, but there are other businesses in the area that we prefer. read more

I went here for lunch for my first time and ordered the lunch special with sweet and sour chicken,rice, egg roll and side salad. When I got my food automatically my chicken was waaaay over breaded. Now I know the reason why they overdid it with the breading because when I took a bite, the chicken, which I don't even know if it was chicken was a gray and very rubbery which tasted old and just gross. I now think that they were trying to cover it up with the over breading and extra sauce, it looked like a freaking funnel cake from the fair. I couldn't even take a normal bite without force with pulling it. I was in a hurry and didn't want them to remake it so I didn't even finish my chicken. I did eat the salad and some rice and the eggroll. When I went back to work 10 minutes later thank goodness I work at an urgent care. I just started vomiting, I ended up going home very nauseous with stomach pain definitely food poisoning. I will never eat here again. I wish I would've taken a picture. It looked so Disgusting. read more

I don't come to this area often, but I was looking for a quick bite and found this place. Might as well take your food To-Go. Lol it's not a huge deal, but if you ask to eat in, you shouldnt have to pay a $0.08 bag fee. Not to mention, the only water available is for purchase in the Aquafina bottles, no cups of water given if you eat in. Food was pretty good and I enjoyed it. But would be nice to get some water to drink for an already nearly $20 meal lol. read more

Himitsu Teriyaki Restaurant - C8. Himitsu Combo - Japanese Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Good chicken. Friendly quick service . Dressing could be more flavorful Nice to have teriyaki so close.

The food was okay, one of our gyoza was burnt & when we were given our food the gyoza sauce had a melted top so it wasn't sealed properly. When we sat to eat & grab our food to eat in it spilled everywhere. I went to ask for napkins told them what happened gave me napkins and asked if I needed new gyoza sauce so he gave it. I asked if he had a wet towel or something because where we were seated the sauce like I said spilled everywhere and was sticky they told us no and didn't even attempt to clean the mess for servings food that wasn't properly sealed. The shrimp was undercooked as well. Horrible service overall and we will not be eating here ever again. Save yourself a trip and go to better teriyaki places and drive to them. read more

Had chicken teriyaki and general tso chicken. Taste was good but the chicken was tough and the pieces were too big, generally twice as big as you normally get with this type of dish. On the plus side the gyoza was excellent, cooked perfectly and great sauce. read more

Food wasn't tasting good, chicken tasted like not being fresh andbeef tasted like liver. I will not be coming back here nor recommend it to anyone. read more

My go to teriyaki spot in Maple Valley! My order is always ready by the time I get there.

Beware: The restroom in this place is absolutely disgusting, after the first time, I never went back because of it. They should consider grabbing a bottle of Clorox and disinfecting that filthy bathroom. Theirs what appears to be feces on the wall. read more

Stirred fry noodles was super salty. It was soaked in a bath of sauce. Spicy chicken teriyaki was also super salty. Would not come back again read more

Himitsu Teriyaki Restaurant - Too salty - Japanese Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Always good food. It's our go to maple valley spot when we want teriyaki, egg rolls, and chicken katsu.

Needed to make a pit stop to the enchantments from Olympic, and I'm so glad I stopped by here for their food! First, I must say, for the price, they offer such a generous amount of food. I personally ordered a house yakisoba and my brother ordered a chicken and beef teriyaki combo. When we got our order (to-go), I realized that they gave me fried rice instead of yakisoba, so they were super kind in fixing that quickly and let me bring home the fried rice! From the very beginning, the server was kind and helpful, and offered great and positive service. I would not say their food is the most amazing quality, but for the price and for the amount they give, again, it is quite generous! read more

Wanted to try a new local teriyaki place which also offered chicken katsu. Himitsu Teriyaki in Maple Valley fit the bill. The order was timely delivered. The 'plates' were generously portioned. We had Chicken Katsu Bento which came with chicken katsu (of course), tempura shrimp, gyoza, california roll sushi, white rice and a small salad. California roll was not the best, just didn't seem fresh or flavorful compared to what we've had at sushi restaurants. However, everything else in the bento was absolutely delicious! Also had crispy chicken that came generously sauced and not too sticky with generous mound of chicken accompanied with two servings of white rice. Lastly, we added a separate tempura shrimp order. Will definately order and/or visit Himitsu Teriyaki in Maple Valley again. read more

This teriyaki place is no different than any other teriyaki locations. We were passing through, starving and ordered for dine in. Food was okay, but what was irritating was; no water. We all get thirsty when we eat, we asked for a cup of water and they don't "serve water." But you can BUY bottled water on top of already spending money on food, makes sense right? Nope. Providing a cup of water should be free everywhere, next thing you know they'll be charging for toilet paper. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Himitsu is our go to teriyaki place. Predictably delicious and reasonable. We alternate between chicken teriyaki and stir fry--our granddaughter really likes the chicken yakisoba. We're glad Himitsu is here and just wish it was open today. (Closed Sundays) read more

We have eaten here a few times. They are often very busy, so we usually order ahead for takeout. So far, we have enjoyed nearly everything we've eaten. The chicken is quite tasty, sometimes a bit overcooked, but not often. Some of the more Chinese foods have been really good. The fried rice could use a few more spices, it's a bit bland, but we have some sauces that bring it up to our standard for taste. Lots of variety,so we seldom order the same thing, so we can sample different dishes. Good place. We have been at off hours and the ambiance is pretty friendly. read more

I'm literally shaking right now I'm so upset. I order from this restaurant atleast 4 times a week on uber eats and I've never had a problem until today. I order beef short ribs well done and when these came they still had blood on them. Mind you I paid uber eats 27.00.. I get in my car and drive to the restaurant thinking they would gladly exchange it for a new one cooked the right way. But to my surprise there was a Asian guy working, looked in his early 30's cursed me out and said to go back to Africa. I'm showed him my phone and all of the money I spend a week with uber eats for his restaurant and he continued the racial slurs. I am blown away! Like I can't believe this just happened. I didn't even ask for a refund, just a simple replacement as I had brought the whole meal back with me. Please consider not ordering from this racist restaurant! I'm just totally Wowed! read more

Himitsu Teriyaki Restaurant - Beef short ribs - Japanese Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Himitsu is our go to for teriyaki! Whole family loves it - pot stickers, egg rolls, chicken teriyaki to the yakasoba. Must try!

I travel for work and I've tried restaurants in Oregon California Arizona and Utah and this is by far the best food I've had in awhile and they don't skimp out on portions either. read more

I remember when this location opened in Maple Valley many many years ago! As a kid I loved going in, sitting in the high back wood seating and on the pillow mats! Every time I just enjoyed the light interior and comfort of familiarity of the food. Now, since being gone for years, this location has transformed! It's now dark, the menu is blasted in big signage with photographed food! It's unreal how unkempt it is inside! I placed a phone order and realized they now had a large or regular teriyaki option. We got one regular large and one white chicken breast regular size for pick up. The young man who helped me when I arrived was so kind. He had a kind face, glasses and very pale skin. He picked up who I was before I even opened my mouth! I paid and sat in the far corner waiting for my food to be bagged! The salad was very clean but the pieces of lettuce where huge and almost choking concerns! The chicken breads teriyaki was almost stretchy, and the sauce they layered it with was not even marinated on to the chicken! Rice was sticky and very WET, it was bizarre! My husbands teriyaki was very charbroiled and almost burnt! Aside from the difference in glaze, meat quality and flavor, it seems like this location has gone down hill! It really makes me sad because I loved this location so much! read more

This place is bomb! Would definitely recommend for a quick stop by. it's a great place to get your teri fix and the restaurant itself is pretty cute and well lit. I always get the chicken teriyaki. The chicken is nice n juicy J, and they have great portion sizes/ pricing ratio so overall a solid place. Also the people working here are super nice! Pass on my thanks read more

One of our faves from Seattle and also Maple Valley. Staff are really nice here and the portions are generous. They were always great for take out during the worst of the pandemic too when we were completely sick of our own cooking. read more

Great food! Large portions, expect to take some home. Fast and polite service. Bento box was big and had a lot different things, would recommend to share for a lighter meal, or good for 1 if you're hungry. read more

Himitsu Teriyaki Restaurant - Great bento box! - Japanese Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Himitsu is everything you want in a local Teriyaki place. Its location is perfect if you live in one the the adjacent neighborhoods. Each dish is a solid entry to the traditional teriyaki menu we Seattle natives have come to know and love. With my personal favorite being the beef Teriyaki, where himitsu uses a higher grade beef than most local chains. Management and staff are friendly and helpful! 10 out of 10 would eat again! read more

My favorite teriyaki in maple valley. They are very nice when you order. They have a pretty cool menu but I LOVE the chicken teriyaki bento box so almost never order anything else. It comes with a nice salad, fried shrimp, gyoza, 4 pieces of cali roll, rice and teriyaki chicken. There is always plenty of each sauce! Usually get one to share with my husband. read more

We make sure to stop at Himitsu every time we visit Maple Valley! The food is prepared very quickly and it tastes so good every time. The employees are always pleasant and helpful. I'm glad we found it. read more

Charged $14 for a veggie stir fry that was listed at $8.79. Was actually worth about $6.50. When I notified cashier he took no responsibility for the restaurant apparently having an old menu from a previous owner on yelp. He seemed to have no idea what I was even talking about. Food was okay, but not for $14+. I will never go here again. read more

So the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the salad was welted and I wish the portion sizes were larger. But the beef teriyaki was so good! The meat was cooked perfectly! Seriously like cuts of steak. I ordered through Uber eats and had to wait for my food and is still tasted great! totally will eat here again read more

Wondered why there were no cars/patrons any where near this joint at 6:30 on a Saturday eve! We ordered Shrimp Yakisoba and Tempura Vegetables to go. The Tempura was doughy,soggy ,limp(we only live 5 minutes away so no excuse),flavorless and just a couple pieces of brocolli, some white potato strips( I think) and maybe a piece of zucchini. The 5 shrimp plopped next to the big pile of sticky,mushy noodles were not marinaded or grilled- flavorless as well. AND there were hardly any vegetables in the Yakisoba. read more

This place does their teriyaki well. They are very prompt when you order and have become quite the staple in my house. They do have a good chicken yakisoba and spicy teriyaki if you want to change it up a bit. Haven't tried the rest of the menu, but sure it is good. read more

The teriyaki and gyoza are delicious! Order pick up is pretty easy over the phone with these guys. You can use Uber to order for pickup/delivery as well if you prefer that route. It's supper accessible and I'm glad to have a new neighborhood teriyaki place! My only disappointment was the yakisoba, which I felt was a bit strong in the fish sauce and soy sauce department. If you like really strong yakisoba it's really good! It may just not be to my taste I'm not sure. read more

Place looks really clean . My son and I love their chicken teriyaki, very flavorful and tender. I like it very saucy, teriyaki sauce on the sweet side . read more

My families favorite place to eat plus two picky toddlers. Great veggie options and salmon teriyaki.

Terrible customer service wouldn't take the time to let me pay over the phone and when I asked why, they responded with do you want your order or not. read more

Great Service, always fresh... hot. I do UBER EATS delivery and always get a ton of requests for this location. It seems so popular. I decided to try it, and so glad I did. Really delicious. I like the interior as far as that goes. For Teriyaki, it is nice and clean, well decorated. If you are in Maple Valley, give it a shot. It is average price for Teriyaki... gone are the days of the $5 Teriyaki lunch I suppose, so... I think their price is right where it should be. read more

Good customer service, large menu selection and adequate portion sizes for dinner meal. Spicy teriyaki was really spicy, big thumbs up! Only 4 stars cause they don't do the simple combo of chicken teriyaki and general tso chicken. Every other place does this combo. Other than that, pretty good place. read more
