30 Best Japanese Restaurants in Bellevue

“The ramen selection is so unique! Went there with friends, there was wait even though it was past peak lunch hour. The waitlist goes fast but expect to wait 5+ mins to get seated.

Service was prompt and fast but nothing personal to note for. Their ramen was great!!
Original tonkotsu was super flavorful but not too heavy, and their seafood ramen was amazing too!! Can’t wait to go back to try their pesto and black sesame!“

“This place is next level! Best tempura I’ve ever experienced. Will definitely be back.“

“daily specials are awesome. delicious food that’s so worth checking out“

“Best place ever!! 5 stars!! The food is incredible, best vietnamese I’ve ever had. Not only is the food incredible, but the servers are so kind! Overall a great experience and would highly recommend!!“

“This Toshis has a special place in my heart, my friend group has come here for years now and it’s been a yearly tradition to come here. the food is delicious and everyone is so kind. I will never stop coming to get some delicious teriyaki here.“

“Very fine Japanese restaurant!“

“I'm a very hard person to impress, so very rarely do I give a 5 star for any business The food here is very good and this is high quality teriyaki. Only reason for a 4 star instead of a 5 star is because I specifically asked for my food to be made a certain way and they forgot to do it like I requested. I was too hungry to ask for a do over. I understand they can get very busy so make sure you specify and speak clearly and make sure the person taking your order is listening to you and acknowledging what you order otherwise, they might make a mistake. As can be expected with any business. This is one of my go to choices for teriyaki in the neighborhood“

“First time at Toshi's Teriyaki Bellevue. Our group had a sampling of several menu items including the half chicken, the beef skewers, the shrimp skewers, teriyaki chicken & Yakisoba, potstickers and eggrolls. All were very quick to be prepared and yummy. Staff was super friendly.“

“I’m Japanese and usually spend half the year in the U.S. and the other half in Japan. This time, I have to stay in the U.S. for over a year, and I’ve honestly been feeling homesick almost every day. But after eating the tempura bowl here, my homesickness eased a little.

We often go out for sushi or try other Japanese restaurants. Sushi is usually okay, but when it comes to other Japanese food, the only place we’ve consistently liked is Kizuki Ramen—and even there, only the ramen and karaage stand out. It’s been hard to find a place where you can enjoy a variety of authentic Japanese dishes at a reasonable price and with great quality.

So my husband and I were genuinely impressed and touched to find this restaurant. After a really disappointing experience at a late-night Japanese restaurant near Bellevue recently, discovering this place made us so happy. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Cozy place to enjoy Teriyaki.
Good delicious teriyaki plus other menu items

Nice friendly service.

Higher prices than average, but we are in this gorgeous nice city of Bellevue, every thing here in every where is expensive. Nothing cheap. Nothing has reasonable price.

But here the Portions are good.

Convenient place
Near QFC.
Large parking lot.“

“Could only show 10 of the 25 dishes served! Becoming my favorite omakase in the Seattle area!“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“The food was absolutely delicious — it honestly felt like eating in Japan. Since moving here, I haven’t found any Japanese restaurant that feels this worth the price. The quality is amazing, the portions are great, and the prices are cheaper than most places around here. Most importantly, the taste is incredible and truly authentic.

I totally forgot to take pictures of the food because I was too busy eating 😭 I’ll definitely take some next time and post them!“

“Really good spicy chicken! I got white meat and it was super tender and the sauce was delicious. Was also so impressed by the flavorful fried rice. The portions are huge, so I’ll easily get three meals out of this. My husband ate his whole meal, though, and he also loved it. The lady at the register is so sweet. We’ll be back for sure!“

“I don’t usually write reviews, as you can probably tell from my non-review status, but this Jumbo Chicken Teriyaki Box has completely changed the game for me. As someone who travels frequently for work and eats on the go, I was not only surprised but genuinely in awe of the simple yet incredible meal that was delivered to my less-than-glamorous hotel room in Seatle.

When I say "simple," I don’t mean it in a negative way—rather, it was simply perfect. The chicken, the salad—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I was so impressed that I feel compelled to tell others: Order from here now, and often!

It’s been two weeks since I left Seattle, and I’ve thought about this meal at least 35 times since returning home. This place is a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to get back to the West Coast so I can dine here again. For what it’s worth, I ordered from them both nights of my stay in Seattle. Highly recommend!“

“The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal! This was so good!“

“Amazing and authentic Japanese sandwiches! I recommend them all!“

“I love everything about this place! the owners, the food, the hospitality, the atmosphere! my partner and I stumbled upon this place a few years ago and now we go every chance we get! delicious sushi, amazing sauces, huge menu. love love love!“

“I enjoyed the high quality cuts of fish and unique dishes like the beni-tenshi parfait! Totally worth going just for dessert.“

“Everything we had was phenomenal, a true blend of quality ingredients and artistry. Some of the best sushi I have had.

Service was prompt and courteous.

Atmosphere is quaint, the feeling of a hole in the wall place that you just stumble upon.

Seriously great job!

We had Tuna Roll, Mango Surprise Roll, Dragon Roll, Washington Roll, and Rainbow Roll.“

“Delicious food. Excellent portions. Good friendly service. Reasonable prices. Clean spacious seating lounge.

“We came for the pool tournament and stayed for the steak! Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommended! Hospitality and service were top notch. From the time I gave them my card I was addressed by my first name and treated like a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better night! 5 star!!“

“Great lunch spot. General Tso had good tang and some spice along with onions mixed in. The General/Teriyaki combo came with extra sriracha and teriyaki sauce cup. Combo included salad which many places don’t. Love the self-serve fountain Coke machine. Great service and clean restroom“

“We had the Katsu Don and the Odun and spring rolls. Everything was delicious! The staff was super friendly and very attentive. The restaurant had a very sleek clean look. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend this fine dining experience.“

“Bright upbeat cafe with so many options of drinks, ice cream, and baked treats.

I highly recommend their hojicha soft serve ice cream, their matcha tiramisu, and their black sesame latte!

I will be coming back every chance I get!“

“We are regulars at Tokyo. This restaurant has been in Factoria for many years and it is always great. The service is great. The sushi is fresh and delicious. We also order a variety of hot doors such as bento boxes, uson, and various rice bowls. I think their chicken karage is also exceptional. We do both dine in and takeout and it is always great!“

“Another great experience at Japanese Bellevue in the books.“

“⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Incredible Peruvian Food at Lamar Bellevue! ⭐ Lamar Bellevue is hands-down one of the best Peruvian restaurants I’ve visited in the U.S. The flavors are authentic, vibrant, and beautifully presented — every dish tastes like it was made with love. The staff is welcoming, the vibe is warm, and the menu truly highlights the richness of Peruvian cuisine. I was so happy to see they offer great vegetarian options, which is rare for Peruvian restaurants. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. And I have to mention the chicha morada — wow! It’s the most refreshing, naturally sweet, and perfectly spiced purple corn drink. A must-try! If you love amazing cuisine: Peruvian food or want to explore something new, Lamar Bellevue is an absolute gem. Highly recommended! 💛🇵🇪🥘“

“Really solid spot! Ordered the beef bulgogi bibimbap and it DID NOT disappoint at all!!! Great portion size, excellent flavor, and it came out quick. Will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation. Water was good btw🫡

Our server Scott is super friendly, shoutout to him!“
