I ordered on-line... which I normally do not do bc it's a pain but their site is set up super well! I really appreciate that. The food was delicious. We got a mix of things but just thought Id mention their chicken teriyaki bc a lot of places over-sweeten the sauce in my opinion which kills it. The sauce here was just spot on delicious! Generous portions. Really no complaints at all. read more

Lots of variety, but was disappointed about no tofu pho and no vegetarian ramen. Sushi was good. Pho wasn't too flavorful. Bubble tea was good. There was a cute little robot that delivered the food, which was very fun. Service was quick (via robot) and food was hot. Employees were kind. Overall a pretty good little spot with ok food. read more

Pros: my husband ordered teriyaki. He liked it and gave a thumbs up. The robot server is a novelty. Cute to see the robot bring the food to you. Score of 5 from my husband. Cons: I ordered beef flank pho. The soup was good, but the meat is impossible to chew. Sure rubbery. I had to give up eating it. Score of 3. read more

Delicious! Hit the spot and was exactly what we asked for. Both dishes were well done as we asked and all great quality and quantity! We got the food to go but the service was great. read more

Wife and I were driving through town on a trip and saw this placed had 4 stars so we tried it. Food was not fresh we got steak pho and it was disappointing the broth was bland the veggies were wilted and the meat was flavorless. The restaurant was also not very clean there were like 5 tables with dirty dishes on them the whole time we were eating. The redeeming thing was the robot waiter. I would avoid eating here. read more

I saw that I had four stars and it took me a while after moving to Sequim to try the food, but I have delivered the food for Uber and DoorDash and it always smelled really good so I finally tried it after my shift was over. I tried the orange chicken and fried rice. Terribly disappointing one review had said they don't know why people go there. I kinda have to agree. I don't think it's anything special. I think it's just a new building maybe and the robot and it's just got good energy when you go in there the staff or plenty friendly I imagine the drinks are probably good but I just had a Pepsi that was the best thing about my dinner. read more

Great food. Texture is spot on. Taste is perfection. The service is also great, as there's a really cool robot that serves your food! Ambiance is really nice, with a great branding touch. read more

This is my second time here and no regrets! Lots of different varieties of dishes. And it is always fresh and delicious! Service is quick. Small place but really cute and neat. Every single time when I am driving through Sequim or visiting this cute town Koto is my place to eat! For the second time I am so excited for food that o am forgetting to take pictures of good looking food. read more

Fresh fish, friendly staff and yummy bubble tea. Glad to see a thriving sushi place in Sequim. read more

Koto Teriyaki & Sushi - Dancing Boba out in front. They are located next to Walmart in Sequim! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sequim, Washington

Went there so my wife & I could experience being served by a robot but that didn't happen, for what reason I don't know. When we dine out, part of the pleasure is the experience. Walk in, go to the counter, place your order & wait as they seem to prep everything fresh. We love our sushi. The salmon was like it should be be, smooth texture & buttery. The other fish was somewhat dry, a bit tough or sinewy & nothing special. For a great sushi dining experience, we have to go to Lynnwood, which we will do tomorrow. I suggest you try Koto, decide for yourselves, but we don't plan on a future visit. read more

A-OK. Small fast food style teriyaki & sushi that gets the craving satisfied but at a cost. You order at the counter or online with kind service. We decided to try a sushi roll since they had a staffed sushi counter, it was ok, just very slow. My chicken Katsu was the better of meals, good size but I finished it in one sitting. We also had the udon special which was just an ok mild soup. (w/ very chewy meats in a lite broth.) If it cost less I'd feel better, but $50 lunch for 2 and didn't even have drinks (that would be about $20 more... ) So ouch for okness. It Is convenient if craving thou. read more

I would say 4.5, but rounded to 5 stars because we really enjoyed our lunch there. We just finished a 5 mile hike and wanted to stop for a quick lunch but did not want fast food. We were looking for another place when we accidentally stumbled on Koto. We are really glad we tried them. You can order at the counter or at the table and a robot brings you your food. Very fun. The spicey teriyaki and regular teriyaki as well as the boba were all very tasty. Clean, fast, and yummy. We will be back. read more

Great stop on the way to or from the Ocean. A variety of Asian and Japanese cuisine, with a delicate yet flavorful touch to the sauces. Fresh Veggies, Boba and even a robot server. Service is friendly and welcoming. read more

We've tried sushi high and low and everywhere in between and my goodness - BEST SUSHI EVER!!!! Got 3 salmon rolls, 3 salmon hand rolls and chicken Yakisoba - first time here and all DELICIOUS!!!!! Very reasonably priced, FRESH, great portion size! Not stingy with their salmon like many other places. The restaurant is super clean, staff friendly and helpful and just an awesome experience!!! Will be back for sure! A must try in the Sequim/Port Angeles area! Trust me! You too should DEFINITELY try! read more

I enjoyed the Spicy Tuna Roll, I went with light on the hot sauce and was perfect! Fast and friendly, in looking forward to trying their teriyaki soon served in house by a robot! read more

I dont know why people go here. It is terrible. The bulgolgi dish tasted nothing like it-- more like beef stirfry and there is no way a person with any knowledge of Korean cooking made that. The orange chicken is just red sweet n sour sauce with a bunch of sad vegetables and a couple of tiny orange pieces. did not taste like orange, tasted like sweet and sour chicken.The fried rice tasted like nothing but pepper-- like no soy sauce no salt, no oil, just pepper. The salad was just lettuce and the dressing was not blended well and granular still from the sugar. The chicken teriyaki was the only thing that tasted remotely like it was supposed to, although the chicken needed to be grilled a bit more. This is not a place I would ever try their sushi, because this meal was just so bad. we cant finish our food. no chance they could make sushi correctly after what I just received. read more

Pretty solid sushi in a retail plaza. Menu is pretty basic but they do a good job with what they've got. The most notable thing is that the portions are MASSIVE. The nigiri, for example, is easily 2x the size you typically see - a solid 2 bites per piece if not 3. I got 3 hand rolls and 1 nigiri, but easily could have done with just 2 hand rolls. The fruited ice tea in the giant carafe at the counter is pretty good too, fwiw. On the sweet side but very refreshing on a hot day read more

Food is quite horrid. Stopped by to grab some on way back from the park. Orange chicken isn't even orange. Sushi is loaded with mayonnaise. Service was good, but can't make up for the horrible food. read more

Generous portions of disgustingly hyper-sugary food. Grotesquely heavy-sweet glaze covers everything. Your taste buds will say: "SUGAR!!!!" whether you're eating noodles, or vegetables, or meat, or drinking a beverage. read more

Chicken teriyaki portions are incredible especially if you ask for large. The amount of chicken is perfect for the strenuous hikes in area. Cuts are pretty good quality. Sauce is a little thicker than more traditional places, but it is enjoyable. read more

What a great experience!! The staff was super, the menu is filled with lots of great authentic Asian dishes, and it felt like being in many of the small casual restaurants in Japan. it is definitely a great place to eat. it gets the highest rating from our family which is - we would definitely do it again!! read more

Miso soup: too salty Tempura: not light Japanese, but heavy breading Everything else in the bento box: not worth mentioning. Won't go again. read more

The place itself looked very nice, it gave off an expensive feel. The food was pretty good but not worth the price (I had a simple chx teriyaki). The employees were what killed this for me. When I came in I was not greeted, and then noticed no one else was either. Not one employee smiled or acted like they wanted to be there. When it was my turn to order I had to seek out the person to order From, instead of him saying " hi I can take you over here!" I even asked to add a strawberry shake to my order and the employees replied "that will take a long time but sure." Wow, what enthusiasm. I ended up saying never mind. If you don't mind rude employees but pretty good/too expensive food come here. read more

Delicious food - coming from Seattle where there's plenty of solid sushi and teriyaki places, this is up to the standards! Will return

Food was okay, service was horrible. I called to order, the girl hung up in the middle of the call. I called back. I had to repeat my order to the same girl twice. She said it would be ready in 15 minutes. We show up 20 minutes later. They got the sushi ready, forgot the ramen, and the drinks weren't ready. We got tapioca bubble teas. After sitting and waiting for the drinks for 10 minutes, the guy comes by and said there's 13 more minutes on the tapioca. Really? Then I asked to be refunded for the tapioca charge. They can't until tomorrow, so I have to wait for someone to call me and refund the cash I just paid. Wow. read more

Great value for the money. We ordered chicken teriyaki and chicken yakisoba. Both were very ample portions -- lots and lots of chicken. The yakisoba was some nice thigh meat, I think. Very tender and flavorful. For the price and the quick service this is a great stop for a quick and filling meal. read more

I've been here a few times and it was always ok for a quick meal. We heard they had new owners so we gave it another go. I ordered the chicken stir fry and asked them to add cashews. This was a takeout order and of course there was an upcharge for the cashew which is fine. When my husband got home I opened the box to see a bunch of black, burned cashews which to me means they deep fried them to death. This is not a deep fried dish. Why not just put them in the wok at the end like any other dish with cashews? Do you know what happens to nuts that you blacken? They become bitter. And to think we paid for that. Unfortunately even if those were not on there, this dish had ZERO flavor. Where's the msg? the salt? some garlic? Anything would be better than what I got. I don't care how much you upgrade the inside, if you are not sure how to cook a cashew or season your food, you might want to re-think a few priorities. I want to like you. read more

Koto Teriyaki & Sushi - Stir fry chicken with deep fried burnt and bitter cashews. Zero flavor - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sequim, Washington

Reasonably priced and the best Chinese food I've had in the upper peninsula. Sushi was fresh as well

Yay for KOTO Teriyaki & Sushi which is not only a shining five stars in my book, but also my 400th review! It's the humble independent businesses like these that I love to celebrate and share. Three of us stopped by for a quick lunch before heading off to a couple lavender farms in the area. This shop offers traditional teriyaki plates, combos, Chinese lunch specials and a variety of sushi rolls. It's an understatement to say there's a ton to choose from! Although I was tempted to try their sushi, I decided to keep things simple and went with the spicy chicken ($14.95) which came with two scoops of rice and a fresh side salad. I misinterpreted and thought this would be a spicy version of teriyaki chicken, so I was surprised to find out it wasn't that. Instead, it was grilled chicken in a reddish sauce that had a bit of tang, sweetness and a fair amount of heat (even at a 2-star spice). Shredded carrot, onion and zucchini were mixed in with the nicely charred chicken, so I appreciated the extra veggies. Despite this meal being different than I expected, it was really tasty and consisted of quality ingredients. Plus, the serving was HUGE! I had enough left over for a full second meal, so I would consider the value to be great as well. Others in my group enjoyed the beef & chicken teriyaki combo meal and the yakisoba. The service was also excellent. We spent some time perusing the menu, but didn't feel rushed at all. The cashier was genuinely friendly when taking our order and welcomed all customers with a smile. We grabbed a table outside while waiting and he kindly brought our food out to us after just about 10 minutes. It was piping hot, right off of the stove. KOTO is located in a small strip mall across from the Walmart in Sequim. A pretty consistent stream of customers were in and out, so it was great to see this restaurant getting so much business. Considering the delicious food and super generous portion sizes, there is no question why it's so popular! read more

We stopped by this place on our way out from the national park and ordered online. When we picked up our food, we noticed some red flags right away. We had about five sushi rolls in total. After trying one, we were already uncertain about the freshness. When we got to a roll with salmon, it smelled terrible it definitely was off, and was warm to the touch. We brought it back in, and the male staff member smelled it and agreed that it had gone bad. He was very professional and courteous, and we really appreciated how he handled the situation. He issued a refund for the bad rolls and only charged us for what we had consumed. However, a Hispanic woman working there insisted the sushi was fine and said it was "fresh," which was frustrating. I eat sushi every week and know what it's supposed to taste and smell like, and this wasn't it. Hoping we don't get sick. I will update if we do. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I have a strong disliking of this place. Just your classic crappy teriyaki spot. Got the classic teriyaki and crab Rangoons here and the teriyaki sauce was gooey, the chicken sucked and even the rice sucked. either fix everything in this asstablishment or get this place outta sequim. If your looking for teriyaki in sequim go to bento. read more

Delicious food! I recommend the chicken teriyaki. Also a great place to get quality bubble tea as well :)

After giving a great review on NextDoor in November of your spicy chicken, December's spicy chicken was dried out. Cooked too early or the day before. You disappointed us after we came back after a three year hiatus from really bad spicy chicken with your new cook and owners after COVID. Tell me you'll get back to fresh food. Do I dare come back in 2026? read more

What a great find! First the people who work there were very friendly and helpful. Second, the food was very good- well seasoned, large portions and it was on our table very quickly. We had a couple of the rolls, the veggie tempura and the yakisoba and all were very good and plated in a manner that was enticing and showed care in presentation. The ambiance is very casual. read more

Small location, but the fish tasted fresh, the sushi was yummy and the kids loved their chicken teriyaki. We also got to spin the wheel by the register and won 2 free nigiri! I love that they have the option of ordering at a kiosk and they have photos of the sushi rolls, because I like to be able to see the roll before I order it. Would definitely return if I'm in the area again read more

What a complete rip off, and bait/switch here today. I ordered the spicy chicken, and added noddles for $3. I get the meal and they took away the salad and rice, I asked and they said it is the way it is. These guys suck! I won't be going back, and the price for a lunch meal was $25. Wish I hadn't left a tip. read more

Road tripping the peninsula brought is here as one of two legit teriyaki places that weren't Chinese or Japanese full service restaurants. We were looking for quick but good teriyaki to go. We appreciated the option for online, counter, or in-restaurant self service ordering kiosks. There is no dine in, and they have an area dedicated to pre-paid pick orders. Food was standard teriyaki with additional Korean and sushi options. Kimchee was slightly lack luster in spice, taste, and serving size for $5, but our chicken yakisoba (generous portion size), pork teriyaki and beef bulgogi was great. Miso soup was just right in flavor and temperature. Overall, it was exactly what we were looking for while on a road trip in the Port Angeles/Sequim area where options seem on the slim side. We didn't have to wait more than 10 mins for our walk-in order while they seemed consistently busy with call in, walk in, and doordash orders. read more

After a busy day, we stopped and chose a quick dinner at Koto Teriyaki to go. I was skeptical but deliciously surprised. Counter service, extremely clean, and very friendly. I had the teriyaki ribs and my husband had the salmon. Salads were included and a perfect addition. It was so good. We will definitely be frequently this business often. read more

I originally left a 5 star here at Koto Terriyaki & Sushi. Sadly after the last 3 times my family and I have eaten here the quality of food has diminished significantly so I am making an adjustment to my original review. The last time we ate here was 11 April, 2025. We ordered our typical order which was: * 2 Orders of the Chicken Breast Terriyaki, sauce on the side (comes with a house salad on the side as well) * 2 orders of the 10pc Potstickers We got it to go and once our order was ready we swooped by, paid for it and picked it up. We chose to have order it to go since we all had a long day in town and wanted some comfort Chicken Terriyaki & Potstickers. We started to eat it on the way and the chicken had an odd texture to it just by looking at but we went for it anyways. Upon tasting the chicken it had a spongy, dryness to it. It didn't taste like any chicken I had eaten before here or anywhere else that I've eaten. My children only ate a few pieces and afterwards wouldn't eat anymore because they didn't like the taste. Since my wife and I usually share it with them it was odd they didn't like it all this time. My wife didn't want to eat any of it since it didn't look right to her. I ate some of it and after a few pieces into eating it I ended up choosing to throw both of the Chicken Terriyaki orders away. The rice still tasted like it usually did which was great. The side salad looked like brown, shredded lettuce and tasted old, so my wife and I didn't finish it either and tossed them into the trash as well. The pot stickers still tasted like they have since we first ate any food here so everyone enjoyed them. The service was great, those who were working on 11 April were professional and welcoming as they usually are when we come in. The inside of the restaurant was clean and felt as welcoming as it has every time we've been here. Throwing away 2 orders of chicken teriyaki, the side salads is a sad and frustrating situation for anyone. I'm not sure how or why the quality of the food has diminished and digressed so much. I wanted to address this change in the quality of food for anyone who chooses to check it out. If the quality of food comes back to what it was when I first stopped in to check it out than I will be happy to adjust my review. I was excited to have a place to enjoy Chicken Terriyaki close to where I live, travel and shop until the quality of food diminished. I won't be stopping by here any time soon. I am hoping that the quality of the food is brought back to it's original glory so I can have a solid place to swoop up some Chicken Terriyaki close to home! read more
