Love this place. The quality and taste is great and the order is always ready when they say.

This place has the best/most consistent teriyaki that I've had in the Eastside and Seattle area. I always get the sauce on the side, as it's a little sweet. But I frequent it at least three times a week. There are typically only two people that take the orders at the register and they are both the nicest and sweetest people you'll meet. There seems to be a large following for their sushiI and I've tried it but I am still preferential to the teriyaki. The portions are always very generous. Highly recommend. read more

Himitsu is our new go to for teriyaki. We ordered white chicken teriyaki, a bento box, and shrimp fried rice. The food was very flavorful, plentiful portions, and frankly the best I've had on the east side by far. The owners are super friendly and take care of you while you're there. Five stars don't seem enough. It's a must-visit for anyone craving teriyaki. read more

teriyaki lunch was pretty good. i enjoyed the barley tea. the cashier was friendly. the menu and seating area is a bit dated.

So they do quick food prep and the food was fresh and good! I enjoyed it! Good for a quick lunch.

Since new owners, they have the best teriyaki I have had in the Seattle area! So juicy and tender chicken meat with a little bbq char and fresh meat! Steamed rice is fresh and tastes great! Even the slaw with dressing is fresh! We are so happy Sammamish now has the best Teriyaki in the area! Thank you to the new owners, you guys Rock! read more

It's sad to have them still serve everything in old school styrofoam containers, even when you dine in. I understand they may try to save money in a dishwasher but it's ridiculous the amount of garbage this place produces. This is not recyclable/compostable. Doesn't the city regulates this? read more

Well it started when my coworkers and I came in for Lunch/Dinner on April 8 around 445 in the afternoon the lady who took my order was very rude and disrespectful my coworkers and I where talking and she approached us and told us that we needed too keep it down and then proceeded to tell us to leave so we as we departed I asked what did we do to deserve this type of disrespect as paying customers i feel she doesn't like African Americans read more

This place is amazing. They treated me well growing up and they serve some seriously good food. The chicken katsu is always something to get as well as the chicken teriyaki. Definitely something you'll love! read more

FOOD POISING!! I stopped and ate lunch today with my daughter here. We ordered a general tso chicken at 12:15. It was the only food I've eaten all day by 3 PM. I'm violently ill and cannot stop vomiting. I called the restaurant to warm about the food to stop serving that dish and to ask for a refund. The man on the phone said I don't think so over and over again and hung up on me. I've been in food service for almost 20 years. I was calling to warn them of a possible food contamination. Do not eat here. read more

Good was delicious! My first time trying this place since we moved here February of this year.

I always order chicken yakisoba. Since the new owners have taken over I've been 3 different times. I've always asked for the broccoli to be cooked longer as I don't like hard broccoli. I was told it's still gonna be a little hard. This time was spot on with the broccoli. However there's sooo much cabbage and carrots very little broccoli, a little bit of chicken and hardly any noodles. The noodles I do have are all broken in half, and no flavor at all. read more

Very disappointed. I ordered the chicken teryaki. It was cold and extremely dry. There was no one in the restaurant, I suspect it had been sitting around and not freshly grilled. The portion was small for 14.99, which was probably good because it was really tough to choke down. You've been warned and I won't be returning. read more

This is THE BEST teriyaki I've ever had. Traveled from Los Angeles and ate here with my girlfriend. I've tried a lot of teriyaki in Los Angeles and have never had a place as good as Himitsu. The people who work here are so kind too. Favorite teriyaki spot, I couldn't recommend this place enough. If you're deciding where to eat right now and are reading this review, I promise you this is the spot! :) read more

Four stars all for the beef - would have been five, but tonight's was much fattier than we've previously gotten. Chicken is just ok here, but would still order if I were craving it. read more

Three strikes...out! Look at the past reviews and proceed with caution.You will wait without being helped until the lady at the desk finishes taking orders. I was overcharged and when I got my ramen home, I found that the noodles were way over cooked to the point of being mush, the chicken tasted old and it was some kind of orange broth with some scrambled egg. It also looked and tasted like it had been microwaved. The California roll tasted fishy with tough nori and I spit it out. Needless to say, $23 dollars later with my dinner in the sink, I wasn't thrilled. I won't be back. read more

My 50th review! Celebrating the awesome Himitsu Teriyaki today! This place is what we call a "twofer" aka Two-For-One! The corner of the building restaurant in the Pine Lake Village is home to my favorite Teriyaki place and THE BEST sushi bar on the plateau! The food is cooked to order, quickly, expertly and very fresh! Have a favorite sushi roll? Ask them to prepare it "crunchy" rolled in their decadent panko mix - it takes a "good" California roll up to "WOW!!!" Make sure you have a few minutes to study both menus before you order. This is definitely the kind of place that attracts many different taste buds. I caught myself last time wishing I'd ordered a bowl of miso soup too! The kid next to me had a bowl and it's savory green onions and miso fragrance wafted over and teased me terrible. It's on my list to add for next time I'm out there, for sure! Of course if you're in a hurry - order the chicken teriyaki. Everyone likes it - young and old. You can't go wrong with the gold standard teriyaki dish! read more

This is good places at Sammamish. I don't know how they make so delicious teriyaki and sauce. Also I'll recommend Sushi that is so flash you guys might be satisfied I compare to other places so I decide my favorite places definitely Himitsu teriyaki and Sushi read more

So I've now had their sushi quite a few times and only the spicy tuna was blah. Their other items are good. Just a note - ask for more ginger bc I feel like they skimp on that and sometimes even forget. Their chicken stir fry lunch special was good with lots of veggies, their CA rolls are really good and so are their bento boxes. Got the beef and chicken and both were HUGE and delicious. Bento boxes came with 8 pieces of CA rolls (not the same size as their regular older), tempura veggies and a tempura shrimp, rice, Teriyaki meat (we had an order of beef and an order of chicken), rice, and a salad. In the end we had leftover Teriyaki and rice for a snack the next day or a meal if you have a small salad to go with it. I keep forgetting to ask for more ginger and wasabi bc their wasabi isn't super hot. read more

I like this place, family owned and by the volume of people here every night you know it's good stuff. That's why we keep coming back. I wanted to leave this review because when it says family owned it means it, I haphazardly tipped a tray of yummy sushi over myself on the way out on the curb. They came to check that I was fine and remade my roll in 5minutes without charging me and being thoughtful about it. Thanks for being a good place to buy from and eat at. #chickenTeriyaki2die4 read more

Let me say this , please stay away!! I've tried this place a couple times but after what I saw the last I haven't been back . I saw their chicken sitting out in a plastic container in room temperature in their kitchen !!!!! I'm all about cleanliness and this place just does not have it ! Do not give this place your money, let them close down so maybe another business who actually cares will move in ! read more

I almost ate a piece of gum in my salad! This is disgusting, I hope no one ever get this experience. I ask the owner behind the bar and he said they never allow gum in the kitchen. I would understand if he apologize for his mistake but nope he turn it around and put the blame on me... read more

Himitsu Teriyaki - Piece of gum I almost shallow... disgusting I hope they shut down! - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

I remember when this place used to at least be mediocre but passable. Sadly, it has since descended into someplace I don't need to return to..... certainly never again for dine-in. Food served in styrofoam, music on the overhead speakers while the owner simultaneously watches loud videos on his phone. A pity because this town really could use a good Asian cuisine restaurant, but this ain't it folks. read more

It stays open because of its location. Didn't take Amex, no half order/kids order, no fountain drinks, 30% more expensive than an average teriyaki joint, and the smallest teriyaki portion I've ever had. read more

My office is located very close to Himitsu Teriyaki, and my co-worker and I used to eat here for lunch at least once a week for the last 13 years. I always ordered the chicken stir fry, one of their lunch specials. I actually stopped eating at Himitsu about six months ago after I noticed that the lunch special prices were steadily increasing. Recently at my co-worker's urging, we went back to Himitsu for lunch for the first time in six months. Himitsu has now completely eliminated their lunch special menu. My regularly-priced lunch with a soft drink came out to over $23.00! I realize that the inflation rate is 7.5%, the cost of labor is going up, and the world is suffering from supply chain issues. I used to be a small business owner as well as recently as 2020 and experienced this firsthand. However, if Himitsu notices a steep drop off in its lunch hour crowd, especially among their regular customers, it's because we can't afford to eat there anymore! read more

I literally thought I was paying for the wrong order because my single order lunch bill (teriyaki chicken meal and a bottle of soda) came to a TOTAL OF $20.00!! Yes, $20.00 for a meal in a Styrofoam Container with very small amount of chicken, rice and small shredded cabbage!! Cannot believe I actually paid for this order! The last time I was there (less than a year ago) I paid less than $10.00 for lunch. Yes, I neglected to notice the change in the menu prices, but mor than doubled in a year!!! Covid or not, this is CRAZY expensive. I wonder how many people,blike me, will never come back...ever again! By the way, awesome people work there, but.... read more

I was really hoping to have good ramen here. but the food here is nothing like you get in any Japanese restaurant anywhere in Japan or anywhere I'm used to. It feels like a Korean restaurant, run by Koreans, making Korean food. There are Japanese items on the menu but they are not made with Japanese recipes. On top of that, I feel the food was overpriced and bland. Pass. read more

I like it. The chicken is a bit low quality but is still very good. The avocado roll is also very good. In my opinion, this is a good place.

I came here during the lunch hour and I wish they would have informed me about the lunch specials while I was looking around confused. I ended up getting something off their normal menu that costed $3 more than lunch, and it looked like the same portion size. Disappointed! Regardless, this review will be based on the quality of food and service. I ordered a spicy chicken teriyaki dish, which came out in about 10 minutes. Not too long of a wait. It was a bit warm inside though, and the only cool air came from the two open doors. I probably wouldn't eat here on a warm day with no AC. The spicy chicken teriyaki was good - chicken was cooked well and it wasn't too saucy. I don't like overly saucy dishes, so it was to my liking. If you like a lot of sauce, this probably won't be sauce enough for you. The dish was just moderately spicy, and I would have preferred it a bit more spicy. The dish also came with a side of salad, which I did not like at all. It looked extremely unappetizing, but I took a bite anyway to test it out. It tasted as bad as it looked. The lettuce was soggy and sad looking, and it was swimming in a pool of mayo dressing. Ugh. I threw the rest away without taking another bite. The service was lacking, which I thought subtracted from the whole experience. It wasn't horrible, but it was very lackluster. No greeting as people walked in, no smiles, no "enjoy!", no anything. I don't expect much from a teriyaki place, but a little friendliness goes a long way. I won't be rushing back here, but I wouldn't rule it out as a place to visit in the future either. There aren't too many options in Sammamish for teriyaki, unfortunately. read more
