Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Snohomish

"It’s easy to say the charm of this serene Eastlake dining room is all about Taichi Kitamura, the genial presence behind the sushi bar. But that would do a disservice to his carefully sourced seasonal seafood, not to mention composed plates, like rich black cod glazed in miso or chawanmushi layered with crabmeat. In matters of sushi, Kitamura knows when to simply showcase pristine fish and when to introduce a little flair—or jalapeño."

"I called and was told outdoor seating was first come first serve. We arrived 15 min later and was told that they actually couldn't sit us outside be..."

"There’s so much backstory to the delicate noodles that chef Mutsuko Soma makes by hand via centuries-old methods at her Fremont soba restaurant, it’s easy to overlook the basic fact of eating here: The food is really flipping fun. The lineup of eight-ish soba dishes takes the occasional culinary liberty with classic combinations; Japanese chefs weren’t making soba with duck meatballs or curry with gooey mozzarella centuries ago, but in Soma’s hands it all makes sense. Same goes for the tempura menu, which might dress up fried satsuma yam with honey and gorgonzola."

"Great Japanese food enthralls the world with its detailed dominance of seemingly simple preparations. Mutsuko Soma's hand-cut soba  noodles‚ illustrate the principle. Earthy, chewy, exquisite when topped with seaweed, garlic-chili oil, and a sous vide egg, or duck breast and leeks, or butter scallops, or vegetable curry and mozzarella cheese, this nutty pasta inspires and satisfies."

"website | 1054 N 39th St (get directions) | Fremont | cuisine: Japanese | price range per dish: $6 – $21. Kamonegi gets a lot of buzz from the food magazines of the world. That’s because owner Mutsuko Soma is one of the only people making fresh buckwheat soba noodles like how she had them growing up in Japan."

"After 16 years of charming regulars with both his shy grace and daily fresh sheet, Ryuichi Nakano sold his Tangletown sushi destination to a new owner, Kyu Bum Han. His presence may be irreplaceable, but the rest of Kisaku is mostly (and mercifully) unchanged, from the tablecloths to the mix of seasonal specialties alongside staple maki and nigiri at exceedingly reasonable prices. The counter omakase is still the way to go."

"It’s a solid neighborhood sushi place that you can actually go regularly and they’ll remember your name. “Kisaku” literally means frank and friendly in Japanese. Kisaku also serves one of the best locally sourced fish."

"A Wallingford neighborhood hole-in-the-wall that has a strong citywide following for serving some of the best sushi in Seattle, Kisaku is unassuming but packs a serious punch of sa..."

"This izakaya in Wallingford is a perfect place for a group to enjoy drinks and share small plates. Dishes include stone-grilled enoki mushrooms, grilled mackerel, grilled tuna collar, a variety of yakitori, fried chicken cartilage, kushikatsu (fried tonkatsu on a stick), and even French fries with wasabi mayonnaise. And, per Japanese custom, to fill the stomach at the end of the meal, diners should order delicious miso-glazed grilled onigiri (rice balls)."

"Issian is lively, fun Izakaya, pub style Japanese restaurant offering everything for everybody. Izakaya style is popular in Japan for its good food at affordable price, and has become popular in the United States last decade or so. So bring a group of friends and try something new!"

"Of course Seattle has some amazing sushi places, having access to so much fresh seafood, no matter where you go it will be delicious. However Sam's Sushi is my favorite place to go without spending too much. Located just off Market Street in Ballard it is slightly hidden, however worth the search."

"Green LakeYou can’t go wrong with Tsui Sushi Bar’s happy hour, which features a number of its most popular rolls and sets at a much lower cost than usual. The chic spot also has several beers on tap, along with a great selection of sake and inspired cocktails."

"Went to mudbay and saw this place decided to give it a try chicken teriyaki, it was almost as good as my favorite place."

"The Greenlake branch of the late and much-mourned Queen Anne Perché No is about three times bigger than the original and determinedly child friendly, with a sunny multilevel interior, a noodle-heavy kids’ menu, the musical strains of “Funiculi Funiculà” bouncing through the room, and owners, the Kongs, who are as welcoming as long-lost relatives. Grownups will be more interested in the vast list of housemade pastas, which are sometimes just fine, like the squid-ink fettuccine with white beans, anchovies, and garlic; and other times underseasoned. You’ll also like the wine list, which includes a whopping three dozen wines by the glass."

"Chef Kotaru Kumita makes stylized and elegant edomae sushi, using a small amount of glossy seasoned rice. Fish is subtly cured, seared, or marinated to enhance its flavor and texture, and he often warms each slice by hand to serve it at the perfect temperature. Each piece is dressed with sea salt, shoyu tare, or a squeeze of sudachi from his garden."

"If you’re a fan of great sushi, then be sure to check out Wataru. One of the best Seattle food spots for lovers of Japanese cuisine, Wataru is one of the more high-end restaurants on our list. At the helm of greatness here stands Chef Kotaro Kumita who delivers an authentic experience to diners regardless of their order."

"Japanese , Sushi"

"Stopped by for dinner on our way home and had awesome dinner. We both had the prime rib dip. I had tots and he had fries."

"An entirely vegan ice cream and cookie shop first launched inside a mobile VW bus is newly open in brick-and-mortar form on Greenwood and 74th. There's a delicious coconut milk ice cream base and a huge range of baked and frozen treats made in house, so stop in for the adorable Milk & Cookies Happy Hour, Tuesday to Friday 3 to 5 p.m."

"There is nothing that says comfort food better than cookies and ice cream put together. The Seattle Cookie Counter truck does this invention justice with its creative and wacky flavors, some of which are Pistachio Marshmallow Pineapple, Cinnamon Toast Cereal, Honey Almond Fig, and Matcha Vanilla Bean."

"This is the second time this has happened so i hope the restaurant finds a way to address. Forgot an appetizer, i called for refund of that item no big d..."
