We ordered the chicken teriyaki, black garlic tonkotsu and chicken karaage. The chicken teriyaki was really good - better than many of the places we have tried around the Maple Valley, Issaquah areas. The chicken was very tender and flavorful with just enough char. The karaage was good too. The tonkotsu definitely hit the spot with just the right flavors and tasty, perfectly chewy noodles. They have all the extra toppings available too (I ordered corn). For drinks, we ordered the Taro Milk Tea (they were out of the boba) and a Thai Iced Tea. Both were good. The Taro Milk Tea was especially nice -- very similar to an Ube Milk Tea. Service was quick, efficient and easy! Prices were reasonable. Overall, a nice surprise in North Bend! We'll be back! And I'll post food pics next time we visit! (all I took was their gallery wall )

I'm placing this as one of my new favorite sushi spots on the Eastside! Four of us came for an early dinner around 4:30P on a Saturday and got seating right away in a booth. The restaurant is on the smaller end with just a few tables on each side and a few seats at the sushi bar. In addition to an appetizer, two of us shared three specialty sushi rolls and the other two in our group ordered the chicken katsu meal set. Our sushi arrived beautifully all on one plate. Each specialty roll included 10 pieces and they all contained a generous amount of filling with a relatively thin rice layer, making the average price of $18 - $19 per roll worth the value. + TAKOYAKI ($7.50): These deep-fried dumplings had a soft creamy interior and housed a small piece of tender octopus. Four pieces came in an order, topped with mayo, unagi sauce and bonito flakes. I loved the crispy exterior and they were served steaming hot. I am not sure they were made in-house or frozen, but they were delicious. + KOUSHI ROLL ($17.99): A crab, avocado and cucumber roll topped with cajun seared salmon, spicy mayo, unagi sauce, green onion and fish roe. Between the crab filling and spicy mayo, this is a pretty creamy roll. The salmon on top had a very light sear, so while the smoky flavor was noticeable, I considered it closer to raw. The unagi sauce added some sweetness that offset the mild spice. + NAGOYA ROLL ($18.99): Tuna avocado roll topped with salmon, ponzu sauce, sweet sesame sauce, green onion and fish roe. The freshness of the fish especially shined here between the large cubes of tuna inside and the meaty slice of raw salmon on top. The sauce simply enhanced the roll without taking over the flavor, so it didn't distract from the purity of the ingredients. + SETO ROLL ($18.99): Spicy tuna and cucumber inside topped with tuna, ponzu sauce and green onion. This roll is HOT, like at least 3/5 stars on the spice scale! As spicy as it was, I really enjoyed it, especially since half the roll was topped with medium fatty tuna which was such a nice treat. Lean tuna draped over the other half. Chopped green onion on top added pops of freshness. The chicken katsu meal ($16.99) came with salad, rice and miso soup. I tried one piece of the chicken which was tender and had an excellent light crunch! Service was great as the two employees managing the dining room checked back a couple times and were actively watching in case any of the tables needed anything. I know I'll be back again for more sushi!

Sweet touch with the complimentary birthday ice cream treat that my friend and I shared. I'm adding this restaurant to my Tukwila go-to list.

The decor and menu of this restaurant looked super inviting, so I came in with really high…read moreexpectations. Japan is often praised for its Shokunin spirit (artisan spirit). To a large extent, and for a very long time in history, Japan was regarded as the end of the Eurasian continent. Anything that reached Japan was deeply respected and meticulously studied, which ultimately gave birth to traditions like the Tea Ceremony (Chado), Japanese Cuisine (Washoku), and Swordsmanship (Kendo). Years ago, during a visit to Japan, I had the privilege of visiting the famous "God of Tempura," Tetsuya Ototani. He has been frying tempura for over 50 years, cooking millions of pieces throughout his career. Because of his legendary reputation, Japan's NHK TV station invited him to host a show where two young, attractive women were tasked with learning under him as apprentices. After two weeks, these two women began serving guests. However, when the quality of their tempura turned out to be terribly poor, he berated them sharply: "Do you have any idea how many storms this fish had to endure, and how many predators it had to evade, just to grow to this size? It required the finest sailors using the best equipment to catch it, and the most skilled handlers to transport it to us. How dare you fry it so carelessly, is this how you repay all those people?" His philosophy and profound understanding of his craft left a lasting impression on me. The sukiyaki here is Kanto-style. The soup base, known as warishita, is prepared in advance by simmering Japanese soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and a touch of kelp and bonito stock. It is then poured directly into the pot to simmer together with the beef and vegetables. The broth was rich and the vegetables were super fresh. The soup base had a slight sweetness to it, but it was honestly way too salty. Although the word 'Omurice' is a combination of the French 'omelette' and the English 'rice,' and it looks like a Western dish, it is actually classified in Japanese food culture as quintessential Yōshoku (Western-influenced Japanese cuisine) dishes created or adapted by the Japanese between the late 19th and early 20th centuries to suit local tastes and ingredients. The curry was rich in flavor, the rice was sweet and fragrant, and the eggs were wonderfully soft and tender. The fried chicken on the side, however, was way too salty. The eel tasted great, highly recommended! The atmosphere was fantastic, they have an open kitchen, spacious seating, comfortable chairs, and just the right lighting. The staff were outstanding, they spoke fluent English and Mandarin, and their service was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly welcoming.

Would have given them full 5 stars but they missed the teriyaki chicken and gave us 2 beef broccoli - should have been beef and chicken entrees. But, nonetheless, all good. Their entrees are generous. Vegetables are fresh and crispy- not mushy or overcooked like other restaurants. The sauce of the vegetable yakisoba is very yummy! It is not overly greasy. Fried rice has a lot of things in it - carrots, damage beans, green beans, scrambled eggs, and something else yummy but unseen. It is so good you can the fried rice alone! Stir-fried broccoli is yummy as well! Not greasy and the sauce is just perfect! I live 1.2mi away so might visit in person to same more on their menu!

This is one of the best teriyaki spots I've ever tried--and definitely the best in the Snoqualmie/North Bend area. Everything we've ordered, from regular teriyaki to katsu to yakisoba, has been great. The dishes are well-prepared, flavorful, and come in generous portions. Our favorite items are the chicken yakisoba and the chicken katsu. The yakisoba comes with so many noodles--pretty sure they use an entire package--plus lots of veggies, great flavor, and a scoop of rice. The chicken katsu is always a generous portion, juicy on the inside with a perfectly crispy exterior. And we love their katsu sauce. I used to never order gyozas, but now I get them every time. I'm not sure if they're handmade, but honestly, it doesn't matter--they're delicious and perfectly fried. We always to-go but inside is clean and service is quick.

I treated my friend out for his birthday here on a Saturday noon at exactly 12pm on the dot…read more Parking is tough around here as their shared parking lot is compact, and street parking is limited given it's near Redmond Way - a very busy street - and a ton of residential buildings; I got lucky and snagged parking along 170 Ave NE just two blocks away. If you've been to their first Seattle location in Cap Hill, this location resembles that one in many ways, though this one in Redmond is noticeably much bigger and has more seating that isn't squished together. There's bar seating and a bigger number of four-tops compared to the Cap Hill location, though the wooden wall scheme is the same for both. They serve katsu here with many types of meat cuts, all of which are listed on their menu with descriptions. Service overall was fast and efficient even when tables around us started filling up with hungry patrons. For our food: - The K&O karaage was all right at best. Meat inside is very tender and juicy but the aromatic toasted powder has so much salty flavor - and outer coating was also so dry - that my friend and I needed to drink water constantly while eating it. We could have skipped getting this. - We each got their jidori chicken oroshi katsu. This comes with their jidori chicken, essentially high-quality free-range chicken breast cutlet... and it was very juicy, with the Panko coating being the right kind of crunchy in all areas. We weren't fans of the grated radish sitting on top of all that katsu though, and most of the dish was their shredded cabbage as usual. The cabbage goes really well with their peanut sauce provided at our table. We both left feeling really full and overstuffed in a good way, though I would pass on getting the karaage if you're already getting one of their katsu dishes. Distance- and seating- wise, I'd come back here for their katsu whenever I don't feel like dealing with the parking situation that is Cap Hill.
