We go here quite often. The staff is friendly and the food is solid. The inside area is clean and relaxed. I am a fan of the Chicken Yakosoba and the Bento boxes are good also. This is a perfect place to experiment and try different dishes, every dish is pretty good across the board. The Teriyakis are solid choices. We usually go on a Saturday or in the evening when the owners are cooking the food. Closed on Sundays. read more

Good food, good portions. Fast service. Staff are very nice. I got the broccoli teriyaki and the broccoli was steamed perfectly. Not mush.

Chicken katsu Love their katsu- the chicken is nicely cut not thin and hard like some places- flavorful with great portions! read more

Fast, friendly service. Decent amount of seating clean food is good. I really like the chicken Katsu.

They haven't changed their menu prices online so you get quite the sticker shock when paying (15$ difference for only 3 items) they don't give receipt or total over the phone which has me think it's a trick to get business. teriyaki was bland and chicken is chewy. Unfortunate because 15 years ago this place was good. read more

Food's okay, Kinda small portion for its price. It could be more at least. There's few competitors around that's why they can command high price but definitely not top tier compared to some of the spots around Seattle, Everett or Marysville. If you're hungry and need a quick fix, probably good enough. Check em out and see for yourself. Not bad but not great either. So so? read more

I have ordered a lot of good food from this place over the years and this is my first time I wasn't happy with my order. The chicken teriyaki had no teriyaki sauce on it and the salad tasted different. They may have changed ownership or they have a new cook. I know it's very hard for the small business to make it here in these hard times. I would hope the small businesses wouldn't change the quality or the amount of food they give out. I always love eating this food in the past and it takes just one time to get something bad and then I will not want to come back here for a long time. I very sorry that I need to say that. read more

This place is so roomy I love everything about this places plus they have great food and amazing workers definitely recommend and will be going here with friends more often read more

This is a culinary gem that has mastered the art of teriyaki. The teriyaki chicken, is a symphony of flavors. Tender, succulent chicken breast is perfectly grilled and glazed with a luscious teriyaki sauce that strikes the ideal balance between sweet and savory. Each bite is a revelation, bursting with umami goodness that dances on your palate. read more

Good is good but small portion and more expensive than other teriyaki places. We love the yakisoba ands bento box. They used to have better portions but now it is so small. read more

Definitely going here again good quality, quantity to value is fair, huge menu! Quality consistent

We eat here at least 1-2 times a month. Some of our favorite teriyaki. My boyfriend loves the mushroom chicken teriyaki and I love their salmon teriyaki. The people are so wonderful and they have been there forever. The food is great!I highly recommend! read more

Had to stop there when i travel!!! Best teriyaki i've ever had, nothing can compare out here in the midwest read more

Good value for the buck! Tempura was loaded with shrimps. Salad was crisp and fresh! I will go back.

Definitely not here to rip this place apart. I'm visiting from out of town and my parents eat here often. I would just like to ask for a small menu adjustment regarding the Salmon Bento plate. The meal in itself was good but I would describe the piece of salmon like a nugget, a salmon nugget. The lemon wedge that came with the salmon was the same size! Please make menu update regarding the size of the piece of salmon or update it to salmon nugget bento plate. The rest of the food was enjoyable! read more

Japan Teriyaki - Salmon Bento. Lemon wedge is same size of piece of salmon! Rest of meal really good. - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Small place in Lake Stevens serving amazingly good teriyaki and Asian food. They also have sushi but I haven't tried it. I usually go for the combo items or the teriyaki specials which are all delicious. Food comes with lots of rice, a salad and a friendly staff. Come try it out, you will love it! read more

Japan Teriyaki - Everything on the menu is delicious! - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

If you like slicking a salt block, 3 plus day old sushi rolls stuffed with mayo and stupid pricing then this is the spot for you. On the other hand if you want to actually taste your food, enjoy fresh sushi without mayo and pay a reasonable price any place other than spot is 10 times better including teriyaki and sushi from a chain grocery store. Ordered General Tao's chicken along with a spicy tuna roll. Chicken was more like gizzards covered in a bag of salt and roll was stuffed with mayo and at least 3 days old and not spicy at all. Just gross... Go some where else or you'll be sorry... read more

I like the crab rolls, and general tso chicken. The service is nice every time I pick up my food

Changing my review from 2 stars to 1 star. Tried it twice. Poor customer service, dry food. I had no sauce for the Gyoza or the Teriyaki chicken both times. The first time I complained! I mean, no teriyaki sauce for teriyaki chicken? That's the essence of the dish! Not having Gyoza sauce was annoying. But, they promised it would be right the next time so we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Second time was just as bad of a fail/identical as the first. We will not be back. Go to Safeway. Sadly, they have better Asian food than this place. read more

This place is Consistently good. I've been coming here for years. Sushi is always good as well. Nothing fancy but still good.

Love this place! Delicious and authentic food. Order the Orange Chicken and was very satisfied! read more

Japan Teriyaki - Orange chicken - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Has gone downhill. Teriyaki and rolls are just average. Service is never nice. Teriyaki had zero sauce over it and gyoza don't come with a dipping sauce. It's like they are trying to cut small corners and for $15 for teriyaki, they shouldn't be. There's better places within close distance, unfortunately. read more

Gyoza was cold, dry, rubbery and tasteless. When I called to complain, the lady refused to make it right and told me "It can't be cold. We sell a lot of gyoza here!" Um... excuse me? It certainly can be cold -- and it is!! It was clearly precooked and poorly reheated. Chicken was bland and barely grilled. We will not be back and suggest others find and go to any one of the many better options for teriyaki in the area. read more

Food is good. We had beef fried rice, Mongolian beef, and short ribs. Would recommend if you just want a quick Asian dish. Service is good too. read more

I been here twice 1st time their credit card machine was down, so I left. 2nd time was this year, the sushi tasted terrible. It's like it had been made 3 days prior to the sale. Will never go back. read more

we USED to love this place. excellent everything. NOT ANY MORE. buyer beware. slimy sushi. soggy rice. spent lots of $$$ over the years. our $$$ will go elsewhere. not sure what happened to them. stopped caring maybe. read more

Really good service, clear English and super friendly. Say they're extremely over priced and the portion size is tiny. I went to another place in the area with three stars (compared to the 4 stars this one has) and they are at least $1 cheaper and give you almost double the portion. I paid $20 for chicken breast teriyaki and bubble tea. Kind of a rip off. My food was good but it just sucks they gave me so little. And the bubble tea tasted watered down :( probably won't return unless there's no other place open. read more

I've tried this place and the one other people all seem to like in Lake Stevens with the drive thru. I'm sorry but the drive thru place isn't near as good and the inside is filthy. Japan Teriyaki is super clean inside, doesn't make me wanna take my food & run home. Even the bathroom was clean. When we have time my boys always want to stay there and eat. The portions are average, sauce is good and we always leave happy. They even have a punch card that allows you a free meal after 10 punches. (1 punch per teriyaki meal) We've had the chicken teriyaki bowl, chicken teriyaki meal, mushroom chicken teriyaki and the spicy chicken teriyaki. All good. read more

See all

Bought two bubble teas for kids. One was so sickly sweet it was undrinkable! It was disgusting. It went in the trash. The other was not as bad but not made well at all. So gross! Also, the lady putting the orders together at the window used her gloved hands to open the front door, pick-up the filthy door-stop and proceed to put it in place. She then returned to her position at the window to manipulate food containers, etc. with the same gloves. I will never go back! read more

Horrible place. Unfriendly and serving sizes not worth the costs. Pot stickers were rubbery and tasted like they were warmed up. Dining area open but waitress didn't want to serve us and told us to clear our dishes ourselves into the garbage! When I ordered she didn't even acknowledge me and I was confused whether she was finished with me. She just turned her back! read more

One star because zero isn't an option. My sushi was frozen and the shrimp still has poop in it and she explained that they don't clean their shrimp. Refused to make it right. read more

Easily the worst teriyaki spot we've ever been to. The restaurant was cute and had good vibes. The service was great. The food was absolutely horrible. We got the chicken teriyaki and chicken and beef teriyaki. The meat tasted off. The sauce tasted old. The only thing good was the salad. Needless to say, we will NOT be returning. read more

We've been back a dozen times since my last review and they've been consistently decent so they earn another star. I feel like sometimes they just skimp on the sauce they cook the chicken in but other than that it's always pretty tasty. read more

I was really bummed about this place. It's closed Sunday when we normally eat out so it took us awhile to try it and we had been really excited. I'm only giving it 3 stars because the people were really sweet and I called 10 minutes before closing and they didn't care. I ordered the fried rice and my husband for Mongolian beef and I couldn't finish it. The veggies that were in it weren't traditional, it was frozen veggies thrown in rice. My husbands meat portion was so small he made dinner after he ate his. We might try it again for the sushi. But we will stick with Chopsticks in town from now on. read more

Great little shop. Love the gioza and bulgogi. Nice people and very clean place. Good sized portions and quick.

I wanted to love this place since it is so close to home. The food was good but nothing crazy. I thought the prices were a little high. Ended up costing almost 30 dollars for 2 teriyaki chicken plates with a side of spicy sauce (which was an extra dollar for sauce). The lady that helped us was rude. Probably won't go back due to the very rude service. read more

Japan Teriyaki sits next to South Lake Pizza and a tanning salon. Japan Teriyaki is about 3 years old. My husband and I love Teriyaki and consider ourselves to pretty much "Teriyaki snobs". Kim and her husband, the owners know pretty much all the customers by name. You can order to go, call it in or sit down and eat at the location. They will give you complimentary Miso soup and bring your food to you. On average the cost of a plate is $7.99. The Miso, Sushi, Chicken Breast Teriyaki, Katsu and Spicy Chicken are our favorites. Check them out! They are closed on Sundays. read more

Nice little restaurant with great friendly staff. Food-wise its good!! Not the best I've had, but decent. I think its the best you can get in Lake Stevens. Let me know if I am missing out on something better!! Give it a try, its good!! read more

Very good! Loved the California Roll, Spicy Teriyaki, and Yakisoba (?) noodles!!! It's a small place, and the food was a little more pricey than other take-out places (there are a few tables), but it was worth it! read more

Ordered coconut boba tea and tapioca was not fully cooked! Ordered bento chicken, chicken tasted a few days old. No fortune cookies and to top it off customer service was horrible!!! Sad not too many places to eat in Lake Stevens. read more
