Hands down the BEST sushi in the valley! Better then most Iv had in Seattle even, and I'm pretty sure I have gotten sushi from every place there is. Never been disappointed with any of the dishes we have tried here. Flavorful, well portioned, and priced right. This is a family owned business and they go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy. Love it! read more

All you need to do is get Bento Boxes. Dont look at the rest of the menu - this place doesn't belong in Monroe, be glad it exists. read more

The chicken teriyaki was sooo blehhh. Chicken seemed old or undercooked, weird after taste, I fed it to my dog. I like my teriyaki chicken to be somewhat charred or grilled, this seemed microwaved. Or slow cooked. Idk read more

Kami Teriyaki - Chicken teriyaki, it's in your restaurants name, master it. - Japanese Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Quite good Teriyaki for the area. Quality of ingredients and preparation is very good.

I eat at a lot of teriyaki places in the greater Seattle area. I usually try the spicy chicken katsu at most of them. This place has the BEST spicy katsu I have ever had. The spicy sauce is packed with flavor and extra vegetables. Highly recommend! read more

Why not? Besutifulmzteriyaki joint Gotta love it. Close to the lake. Good bites read more

Worst sesame chicken I've ever had! Overcooked and hardly any sauce! I'd rather have Sesame chicken from the safeway deli than here!

Absolutely disgusting and down str8 revolting! Like actually what the heck is this? I order the hot and spicy chicken and this is what I get lol. It was a takeout order so I did order in the restaurant and have it to go and when I go to open it this is what I see! I feel so disgusted and how silly of me to even waste my time here! But what else do you expect from any restaurant in the middle of hick town am i right! Not to mention that I found a literal HAIR in my food! I think it belong to Ms Kami lol! That is so nasty and I quite literally don't think I could lose my appetite even more! I would give this place 0 stars if I could! read more

I ordered 2 steak Teryaki meals to go,one for me and one for my girlfriend. Service was quick, and the lady behind the counter was nice. Got home and had the salad, as usual with Teryaki salad was not fine cuisine but pretty good. Broke into the steak meal and the flavor and rice was pretty good, again what you would expect. Here we go.. the steak was like chewing shoe leather, it was like steak flavored bubblegum but worse. There is nothing wrong with my teeth, but I probably threw out about 1/2 the steak because it was so hard to chew. We were just lookin for a good Teryaki place for those nights we don't feel like cooking....this is not it. If I'm spending $15 a plate on takeout I expect a lil more. Hell, I'd be willing to pay $20 a plate and keep going there if it was good. It's not. read more

This spot is alright , a pretty typical menu you'd find at most teriyaki shops however they do have sushi, which drew my attention. My husband got the general tsos chicken and thought it lacked flavor. I ordered two different rolls and they were made fresh but some what bland. The staff were nice and the wait was not long (I called ahead on a Saturday night). Overall this place is pretty average, it's close by, the food is fresh and at a moderate price point but nothing special. read more

This is my go to lunch when in the area. Quick service. Freshly made. Plenty of options on the regular menu. Daily specials have never let me down. Not a very large seating area but the staff quickly clean up after eat use. read more

Kami Teriyaki - Teriyaki & orange kitchen special - Japanese Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Yes, yes, and yes!! Been going here for about 14 years now. I haven't received a single bad dish :)) Stop by if you have the chance!! Highly recommend the disco rolls and chicken fried rice. If you think you can handle it, the gyoza is incredible too lolll read more

Best teriyaki near us! We don't go anywhere else. Thank you Kami teriyaki. See you soon.

Terrible costumer service, food was mediocre. The lady told me it would take 30 mins to get my food ready, took over an hr!! No apologies, very unfriendly! Since I was there waiting forever, I got to hear their microwave going off nonstop, saw her pull noodles in a plastic bag from the microwave. Never again will I go there again! I understand if they are busy but please, let your costumers know it's going to take longer! read more

Asian Spice was unfortunately closed. Being from out of town we opted for Yelp, AGAIN. Okay, the Orange chicken with orange peel is intoxicating. The peel becomes candied and scrumptious. We got two orders, both came with two scoops of white steamed rice, one order teriyaki chicken, and lastly fried rice. All equally tasty. I still cannot get over the candied Orange peel! Amazing. It's nestled in a busy strip mall. Ample parking. Clean and simple interior. Excellent service. Wonderful food at unbeatable prices. I enjoyed the teriyaki chicken and sauce but seriously the chicken stole the show! read more

The thought of eating Asian food in an outpost like Monroe used to be, in a word, abhorrent. Not. Any. More. Okay, so there is no real Asian population, per se, in this once-horse town pit stop on the way to Leavenworth. Don't let that stop you from diverging off course because you just might miss something fairly decent that will leave you with a more favorable impression of this fast-growing city. This location is the second version of the regional franchise, Kami Teriyaki, in Monroe, and lacks the bubble tea capabilities of the first. Located about a couple industrial blocks south of the Sockeye Restaurant/Everett Community College building and across from Lake Tye, I was quite skeptical about eating in this rather sterile, soul-less strip mall but taking chances is what I do when it comes to eating. And, I'm glad I broke through my own misconceptions. Since I was greeted by a friendly Korean woman at the counter, which is the norm in this era of Korean-ized Japanese fast food, I ordered the kal-bi plate and it delivered with tangy, savory, and charred goodness. The meat was properly marinated and retained a soft density that rivaled some of the better Korean yakiniku restaurants around here. Filling out the plate was two small scoops of white rice and the obligatory green salad with a creamy, mildly spicy dressing. Pretty good. On another visit, I tried the sushi, specifically the Rainbow Roll ($8.95). This is the "all in" roll and it was presented as nine thick pieces coated with a selection of salmon, tuna, and/or avocado with a filling of mayo, flaked surimi, tobiko, and cucumber. Probably the best deal on the menu. What to avoid... well, you decide: the ramen ($7.25). The noodles had a texture like it was torn out of an "instant" package. Gratuitous fresh cuts of vegetables like onions, broccoli, canned mushrooms, and carrots added to my dismay in this rather unsexy miso broth. However, the saving grace was those precious finger-sized strips of grilled short ribs! Talk about saving a potential disaster... The kalbi is really good for a small franchise, not overly burnt or drenched in thick faux-teriyaki sauce; the sushi is a winner; and the tea is free. read more

Kami Teriyaki - Rainbow Roll - Japanese Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Everything they serve is super sweet. We couldn't even eat the beef broccoli and left our plates on the table and left. I spoke to the lady behind the counter and she said everything in the store was sweet, and we should have known this. Huh? My friend has diabetes and there is no way any diabetic could eat in this place. read more

I should have read the comments before going here. Had the Teriyaki/Tsao chicken combo. The Teriyaki was incredibly dry and over cooked. The Tsao chicken was soggy and the rice looked and tasted old. Unfortunately for this place, I eat lots of chicken and rice. This was really bad. read more

Have been going here for years. The food is good and the staff has been very nice. The Chicken Yakisoba is my Fav!!!! read more

This is what happens when you competition is scarce and what the competition brings to the table wasnt all that good to start with. My order consisted of Beef Teriyaki, Spicy Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu and some hot and sour soup to go. Quantity was middling and prices were decent, but what I got mostly was overcooked fare leaving me wanting of a better source. The beef teriyaki was a mess of darkness; indistinguishable, small pieces of beef that the menu referred to as steak. It was edible, but what appeared to be steeped in teriyaki sauce yet somehow dry and not pleasing. The spicy chicken teri was likely the best with decently-spicy, but still overcooked chicken pieces, stir fried with some slivered onions. The katsu was overfried and mostly dry and uninteresting. The Hot and sour was hot (as in peppery), but there was no depth of flavor and it had zero sour element to it. It was sad as not wanting to waste it, I dosed the soup with vinegar and soy to get it at least drinkable; everyone else passed on it. Perhaps the shining item was the salad which was fresh tasting, crisp iceberg with a little carrot mixed in to the ubiquitous mayo/soy/sesame oil dressing. read more

I have gone to this place pretty often. Never will I get food there again!! I was ordering teriyaki the other day and as I was paying I saw an employee (man) drop sushi on the floor and then put it back on the customers plate! Disgusting! When I asked them what the hell they're going to do about it the guy just denied everything. Awful read more

Truly terrible. Decided to finally give Kami a try after months of passing it by (and now wishing I did) instead of my usual stand-by two doors down (Asian Spice). Where do I begin? I walked in at 0839pm, before their scheduled close time of 9pm. The lady behind the register gives me this awkward look then... (and I'm serious) shoots a look to the clock. I'm already feeling kind of guilty for coming so close to the close time but.... if you're not willing to sell your brand to the last minute.... don't keep it open! I decide to just quickly order, take my food to go, never come back and struggle through. She asks, is that.... and literally stops. and says "that will be to go, we're closing early." Who does that? A business badly desiring a quick trip to failing. Mind you, I was planning to take it to-go anyway, but if this is your first impression it certainly will be your last. But, wait! It gets better. I get my order, open the box to throw on some Sriracha and see.... well, look at the picture. The jokers in the kitchen did not even peel or devein the shrimp. Truly lazy and gross. Good-bye. read more

The service and establishment were perfectly acceptable. I ordered my food to go and it was ready surprisingly quickly. The beef teriyaki smelled and tasted like perfume with a very heavy hand of salt. Chicken Katsu was very dry but edible. Other customers appeared to be enjoying their food, perhaps this was just our misfortune. read more

Not only the best sushi and teriyaki in town, but also, kind and good people own this restaurant. Please come see them, spend your money here! Delicious food, kind humans. Do it.... read more

They failed to deliver on the sushi part of the menu. Perhaps it's my fault for ordering sushi from a teriyaki place but I've had it before and it was decent. Tonight? The fish had gone bad. The spicy tuna roll was made with mayo and I can't eat it. I called to let them know the fish was not right but they're already closed. Be careful when you go here, right before close end of week may not be the best time, as far as fish. Not sure when is a good time though... read more

You don't get as much for your money as you'd expect. Food portions are mediocre and food is extremely sugary and oily. There are plenty of other options in the Monroe area to choose from. This business benefits from it's location next to the business parks and lake Tye. Of you're nearby, proximity is the only thing I can think of to recommend it. read more

2 bucks just to swap white rice to a scoop of brown rice. $16 for chicken teriyaki/katsu combo and a drink. Take your money somewhere else. This is place is a complete rip off. read more

I have been going here for at least 5 years about 1 time per week. I have given them the benefit of the doubt on past intestinal consequences to eating there, but not anymore! Granted it is not every time but I would say 25-30% of the time. I ate there yesterday after not for months. Lets say I spent a lot more time in the bathroom this morning. This place has some serios food safety issues! Not to mention the jerky like chicken teriyaki I have had a few times over the years. Nice people though, but I will not go back read more

Disappointed came here to get some sushi... got here at 7:20 and they said the sushi is closed and the restaurant doesn't CLOSE till 9 come on... the lady at the register looked annoyed that we came in right after we ordered, she looked to be counting down the register unprofessional! She proceed and then went to the tip jar a took about $30 and stashed it into her wallet, leaving about 5 dollars in it. Over all we had ordered 3 meals and payed over $30 pricey I think, one was a side of vegetable fried rice. The food was edible but not enough to bring me back!! If you like plain Jane Japanese this is the place for YOU. read more

Not the best I've ever had but not the worst, especially for a small city like Monroe. I get the California rolls and chicken teriyaki, the food has always tasted good and the cashier is always friendly. read more

One of the best Yakisoba dishes around. I enjoy their miso soup and the friendly and quick service. Others in our work group enjoy the chicken teriyaki. read more

Kami Teriyaki, in a little strip mall surrounded by offices and warehouses, is a decent offering. Another teriyaki place that I'm not passionate about, but it is good. A number of different offerings, prices are okay, and the food is pretty good. It's not a mind blowing experience, but it's decent teriyaki. If you work in the area, it is one of a few very close options, and is a good one out of the others (Asian Spice, a burger joint, and Paisano's Coffee share the strip mall). Nothing to write home about, but a good meal. read more

I eat here a couple of times a week. They customize as requested, which is the norm for me. They are fast and consistent and extremely kind. I typically get the chicken teriyaki and gyoza (potstickers). I find that many other local Asian food places serve food that is drenched in grease or overly salty sauces. I'll keep coming here :) read more

Love love love their sushi!! The owner is so sweet and always makes the trip there more enjoyable! Highly recommend the sushi

I always get the stir fry veges with chicken, sometimes spicy, sometimes regular...both are always excellent. The vegetables are always perfect, never mushy like I've gotten at some places. I've ordered their sushi before, that was always excellent also. read more

Not your cleanest place to eat. However, my expectations weren't that high to grab a quick bite to eat. Teriyaki places seem to taste pretty much the same. After ordering, I sat down and slowly began to regret my decision to eat here, peering through the open doorway where the food is prepared, a large bowl of chicken (maybe 10+ lbs.) sat unattended... uncooked in a 70+ degree kitchen for the duration of my stay. I was thankful I ordered the Mongolian Beef, but still I pondered if there was a large bowl of uncooked beef sitting just outside of my eye line. The meal itself was..ok. The beef was cooked nicely, quite alot like the Bejing beef at Panda Express, but the sauce was watered down enough to have little taste left. There was no heat or richness to the dish. Due to my distaste for food poisoning, I will not take a second chance on Kami's Terriyaki. read more

I was very impressed. Always chosen to go to another place in town but was over at tye park and decided to give it a try. Got the chicken yakisobi (not sure how to spell it) since I saw another customer get it as I walked in. For another buck, ordered brown rice. The lady knew I was gonna share with my little sister and so she added white rice for free, saying kids like that better. She was so friendly and smiley. The dish was delicious! I'll def. Be back. read more

By far the worst teriyaki I have ever had. I ordered the chicken and beef combo. Meat is extremely dry along with the rice. Teriyaki sauce is like soy sauce. read more
