Best Teriyaki

Looking over the menu, there's a great variety of food (both sushi and non-sushi options)! We started off with the black cod as an appetizer which was buttery and flaky. Then we ordered a large variety of nigiri, and the server told us they were excited to be using the large serving board lol. We enjoyed every piece of sushi we ordered, and again, appreciated the variety of fish they offered. This will become my go-to place for à la carte sushi, and I'd like to to back to try their other dishes as well.

We especially enjoyed our (reserved) counter seats directly in front of the sashimi chef. AMBIANCE: 4.5. Pleasant, with counter seating, table seating, and a couple of semi-private rooms. FOOD - SASHIMI: 4.5. Excellent. We shared a small (24piece) Sashimi Omakase. The chef arranged two pieces of each type of sashimi. All very good; the scallops practically melted in my mouth. The accompanying shiso was very high quality. TAKO NIGIRI: 4.5. OKRA GOMAE: 4.5. Seasonal special. Excellent. SHRIMP & VEGETABLE TEMPURA: 4.0. Very good, with light crisp batter; would have been even better if accompanied by daikon oroshi. CHICKEN KARAAGE: 3.5. Good; might have been better if accompanied by lemon. DRINKS: we had Sapporo beer (in a bottle) and excellent plum wine. In terms of beer, a couple of other Japanese brands were also available.

I cannot give this fine restaurant enough stars. I've been frequenting Ryu Nakano's sushi…read morerestaurants for many years and it's some of the best sushi I've ever had. We reserve well in advance and mostly sit at the sushi bar. The space is on the smaller side but I've seen hopeful walk-ins be seated (I've also seen many turned away--I suggest reservations.) Service has always been stellar. We normally enjoy a salmon flight, a tuna flight, the kelp-cured scallops (must be ordered in advance) and whatever else strikes our fancy or Nakano-San recommends. It's always spectacular! I find the nigiri to be just about perfect--just enough rice to offset the fresh taste of the fish. There is plenty on the menu beyond sushi but we admit to coming here for one reason only so I can't speak to much else (although the green salad is very nice, as is dessert.) Plenty of wine, cocktail and sake options. I remember the many years we didn't have a sushi restaurant in downtown Edmonds so I never take an evening here for granted. We are fortunate to have Nakano-San as a part of our community. Check it out if you haven't yet, and enjoy!

I would say that many parts lived up to the high praises while others did not unfortunately :( The service was amazing! The staff were very attentive and kind. We were seated quickly and were not left waiting long for any part of our dinning experience which was very nice. We both got 2 portions of the 11 piece omakase ($53) and the great pacific northwest roll ($20) to share. The omakase offered good variety and came with an explanation of each cut of fish which was nice. We both enjoyed everything just fine but were left a little disappointed with the quality. Because of all the great reviews and the price point, I think we just were expecting to enjoy our meal much more than we did. The fish quality was not poor by any means but just not that good. The roll also lacked a bit of flavor as well :( I don't know if we just went on an off night or not, and I am hopeful that might be true. The ambiance was nice and balanced, the tables were spaced apart well, making the hum of the restaurant nice but not too much. I don't think we would be back due to the overall quality of our meal but it think it is worth a stop if you are craving sushi in the area.

The Japanese curry was flavorful with a little kick, and it was nice and thick. Personally, that's exactly how I like Japanese curry, and many other things. The interior is clean, modern, bright, and open, which makes the restaurant feel comfortable and welcoming. Service was just okay. My lunch date wanted a substitution, but there seemed to be some confusion and we ended up being charged for an additional side of potato salad. Normally, no big deal, but nearly $8 for a scoop of potato salad felt pretty steep. Overall, I enjoyed the food, but pricing is definitely on the higher side for what feels like a quick lunch. With tip, we were pushing $75 for two people, which makes it harder to call this a casual lunch spot. Also, street parking around here can be a bit of a challenge during the lunch rush. Good curry and udon, nice atmosphere, but bring your appetite--and your wallet.

We came in the evening after day 2 of Geekfest and it was pretty busy inside. Luckily there was a spot open for two so we were seated and given menus. The inside is a bit dim, there were lots of tables with chairs or booth seats throughout, and there was even bar seating as well. My boyfriend ordered tonkotsu ramen and crunchy salmon roll as well as takoyaki to share while I got their red volcano tonkotsu and a Thai iced tea. I noticed there was a Japanese customer who spoke with one of the waitresses and she spoke Japanese back and it was cool to see and hear that! I wonder if the owners are Japanese as well as it's rare to find actual Japanese owned restaurants. The service here was friendly, courteous and they did check in every so often. The choice of music playing was quiet cafe music which was interesting but it was so hard to hear. My Thai iced tea came first then the takoyaki. Afterwards, our ramen bowls came not too long after that and the sushi roll came in last. I am so happy to say that the takoyaki was the perfect ratio of batter, octopus, and sauces on top. The ramen broth was hearty and smooth. I loved how spicy my red volcano tonkotsu was especially because I love things extremely spicy and it was definitely a fantastic ramen for spicy lovers. My boyfriend said he was very happy with his roll and ramen. He usually doesn't order ramen too often especially on a hot day but he said he was happy he did as it was one of the better ones he's had. My Thai iced tea was the right amount of sweetness and the perfect thing to sip on while handling my spicy ramen. I definitely want to come back to try their other selections.

Their restaurant we really like. Their chicken teriyaki dish is great: ++the white rice included is good, which can be used for carbohydrate fuel; ++the chicken is grilled nicely, and our bodies can use the protein to build and renew; and, ++the sauce has always been well-pleasing, not sour but not really sweet. Their restaurant is less than a 20 minute walk from our place. In the past month, we have maybe bought a meal from them at least 2 times per week. For their great and much service to many, I have given thanks to at least one of the food service team there!! read more

The jjajangmyun was delicious and I really enjoyed the noodles in particular. According to other reviews, they pull them in house! The Korean Crispy Honey Chicken was perfectly fried, and the rice cakes were also a nice textural bonus. I found the sauce to be just a tad too sweet for my Korean American palate towards the end of our meal, but my husband really enjoyed it and noted he'd never had fried chicken this delicious at a non-fried chicken specialty place. I'm very excited for future visits and to try more items on their menu!

It seemed they popped up overnight but reviews elsewhere show that they've been open for at least a week. We ordered the Rainbow Combo, a Ninja Roll, and a two-piece hamachi nigiri. It was empty except for us. The person behind the counter said it would take about fifteen minutes so we sat down to wait and take in the scenery. There are more tables than I expected, a larger space than I expected, and a sad-looking, algae-covered fish tank that creates some privacy for the storefront and needs a good cleaning. I don't think our wait was 15 minutes. Soon we were walking out the door with a compostable green bag filled with sushi (yay for compostable, although the to-go containers were typical plastic). The star of the show was the hamachi, which was buttery and fresh. The rice underneath, however, was a disappointment. Cold and hard. Inflation is a {^|&!?$ because it was $9 for two pieces. The Ninja Roll (imitation crab meat, avocado, cucumber, topped with shredded imitation crab stick,spicy mayo, eel sauce, crispy onions) was tasty but lacked the amount of shredded crab salad that I envisioned when I ordered it (I'm a sucker for kani kama). The fish on Rainbow Combo was fresh and "succulent" according to my dining partner. At first glance we thought the wasabi was the same kind you'd get in a grocery store sushi package (which I hate) but once we tasted it, we admitted we were wrong - it was just piped into the container in the same shape as the more ubiquitous wasabi you see in grocery store packages. One thing I didn't ask about was how the fish is sourced, which I know is an important consideration for many sushi lovers. Next time we go I will ask and report back. All in all, a solid start for this strip mall sushi joint along 99.
