    Spicy chicken
    Joe D.

    This place use to be great, now portions have shrunk cost is up and most of the container is rice.

    Sad wet noodles and rice with a pile of undercooked green bell peppers
    Amber M.

    Avoid this place, food is low/mid. Ordered veggie yakisoba and chicken teriyaki. The teriyaki chicken was just ok, nothing special, rice was too wet and dense. The veggie yakisoba was a disgrace. For some reason the yakisoba is served with rice instead of just being a noodle dish, the portion of the yakisoba was pitiful, probably half the portion of the too wet and dense rice, it was over sauced and dripping in oil but the veg was a few tiny broccoli florets, a few shreds of cabbage and ~1/4th of a green bell pepper?? I've never in my life gotten an Asian veggie noodle dish teaming with barely cooked green bell peppers. Will not be back, it's stupid expensive for the tiny portions, bad rice and sad dishes.

    Visited from California as I used to frequent this place a few years ago when I worked in the area. Totally worth the wait. Northern Cal doesn't have any decent teriyaki for some reason. What separates this from the other 10 teriyaki shops around Redmond is that the food is always cooked great and that dressing! Hold the rice and get extra salad.

    Katsu and teriyaki
    Huong L.

    We decided to give this place a try for dinner and thought it was ok. We got the chicken teriyaki and katsu combo with a side of gyoza and a piece of tempura shrimp The combo came with the standard rice and salad: The entree overall was very dry. The meat was dry and the rice was dry. Definitely need the sauce. The salad was ok but the sauce for that wasn't the usual sweet light sauce, it was closer to ranch which I didn't like as much The gyoza was surprisingly good and a pretty good deal. 5 price for 2.99. it was crispy and fresh. The shrimp was on the pricier side as it was a little small but it was also cooked pretty well. Overall, very standard. Pricing is reasonable, but definitely not the best.

    Shrimp Fried Rice

    I bought shrimp fried rice from Niko teriyaki in Redmond. Now I expect not to have a lot of shrimp but this half cup of rice and charged me around 13 bucks for this I will NEVER eat there again!!!!

    Passive-aggressive note attached to my delivery order. Options not available to me at ordering and outside of my control.

    Niko Teriyaki used to be one of my absolute favorite teriyaki joints, especially for my need for spicy. I tried ordering them for delivery awhile back through a courier service. When I received the order, this note was attached to my food: "Next time you need to put the spicy level on the menu--IS THERE. If not, we don't make it spicy. And we don't have kids chicken fried rice and gyoza, we have a full chicken fried rice and gyoza, and cost MORE. Next time you need to pay MORE." They passive-aggressively told me how I should have ordered from them despite Bitesquad not having a spicy level option and also showing they DID have a kid's size fried rice. I contacted Bitesquad about this so that they may fix the menu options on their end, but it was absolutely NOT okay for Niko to send me this note with their food. All of this was stuff outside of my control as a customer. Passive-aggressive note aside, the quality of their food has gone down over the past few years. I almost always order a 3-star spicy chicken and usually love it, but the past few times I've gotten this dish, I have been less than satisfied. They soak the chicken in their spicy mixture (more sauce than spice) and the cuts of chicken don't seem to be cleaned as well as they used to (lots of gristle and chewy bits). I'm not sure if this is all due to a change in management or other staff, but it's not the same Niko I once knew.

    Front counter

    Walked in because the sign says "Redmond's tastiest teriyaki." Waited in line then started to order. The customer service representative Ricardo told me to "hurry up, there are other people in line." So I just told him that would be all, even though I hadn't looked at the entire menu. Another guy walked in the store behind me and told them they had got his order wrong. The same customer service rep told him, "why did you bring it back that way? See, some of the food has fallen out. We would have reused that, now we can't." The customer's eyes got as big as mine and he said "cancel the order." The customer service rep said, "Fine, you already paid for it." The guy left his drink sitting on the table and walked out. If my order wasn't already being made I would have done the same. To make things more uncomfortable the customer service rep walked up to me where I was seated, bent over to make to look at him, and said, he must have taken the wrong order, see? It's his fault." Very uncomfortable experience solely due to one person who unfortunately is working the front counter.

It has that cozy, lively izakaya feeling without being too overwhelming. We ended up ordering a little bit of everything for the table instead of sticking to one main dish. Food came out pretty quickly and everything was hot and fresh. There were definitely a couple dishes we liked more than others, but overall we were really happy with what we ordered. Service was also really solid. Our server was friendly and kept checking on us even when it started getting busier. Drinks were taken care of, empty plates didn't sit around forever, and whenever we wanted to add something to our order it was easy to get someone's attention. Nothing felt rushed either, which I appreciated because we wanted to hang out and actually enjoy the meal. By the end we were way more full than we expected lol. Definitely one of those places where you keep saying "one more dish" and suddenly the whole table is covered again. Overall, really fun experience and a nice spot to come with friends or a small group. Good food, quick service, and a chill atmosphere. I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu next time.

The pork was incredibly tender and juicy, which made every bite feel balanced instead of just fried. One thing I really appreciated was that every part of the meal felt intentional. The rice was fluffy, the cabbage was fresh and crisp, the miso soup was comforting, and the pickles helped reset your palate between bites. It's the kind of meal where nothing on the tray feels like an afterthought. The atmosphere made it easy to slow down and enjoy dinner. It was busy, but the staff stayed welcoming and checked in at the right times without making us feel rushed. You can tell they care about both the food and the experience. What stood out the most is that Kobuta & Ookami doesn't try to overwhelm you with giant portions or flashy presentation. Instead, it focuses on doing the basics exceptionally well, and that's what makes it memorable. It's one of those restaurants where you finish your meal already thinking about what you'll order on your next visit. If you're looking for a place that takes tonkatsu seriously, this is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back.

    Came on a Wednesday around 1:00 PM and there was no line and no issues parking in the lot…read more Menu has many options of pork cuts and other proteins like chicken and shrimp. I love Japanese curry, and was so stoked to see such a unique curry on the menu (made with dark chocolate so it gives a richer flavor). $5 more to add shredded cabbage and miso soup; I definitely think this is worth it because there's no other fresh greens in the entree. It helps cut the heavy, fried-ness of the katsu and provides a different texture. My shrimp (ebi) katsu curry was so flaky and crispy, which is so hard to find at katsu shops where the breading is cakey and falls off the protein. However, the shrimp to flakes ratio was off and I could hardly taste the shrimp or know when I bit shrimp versus the flakes because there was so much breading. This wasn't a problem for the pork katsu, though! The portion size is massive; half the plate is rice, and the other half is the curry. For $29 for the shrimp katsu ($34 total pre tax and tip after adding the shredded cabbage and miso soup combo), I think it's worth the price if you're starving or sharing. I think it'd be cool if they did a protein combo where you pick two proteins, especially because they have a variety of pork options. This would help people justify their cost while tasting more of the menu with less overwhelming commitment. Servers are kind and attentive, and they don't rush you when you order or need more time. The interior is beautiful and well-lit with bar seating, tables and booths, and high top tables too. I'd come again if I wanted to share a katsu entree with a friend!

    The missus and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary here. I booked about a month in advance…read morefor a 6:30pm bar seating, the $250 premium option which included A5 wagyu Filet mignon and some other high-quality choices. We were reminded by the text system a day and an hour in advance, and since it's tucked away in a plaza in Redmond, it's got plenty of parking. The only issue you may have is not knowing where the door is, because there's no big sign - the towa sign next to the doorway is smaller than the window panel in the door. When you step in, you feel a sense of quiet and calm - because that's what it is. Nori Morita (of the I love sushi group in Bellevue) runs a music-less, authentic Japanese kaiseki experience here. There's 6 seats at the counter, and maybe about 10-12 seats in the surrounding tables. It's a small space but it doesn't feel cramped. There's one all-gender bathroom and one single-stall female bathroom at the very back. Service throughout the meal was generally polite, courteous, and proactive. My water glass and the missus' tea were never left below half. They cleared each course quickly as we finished it, and the meal pacing is such that Nori can keep up with you, even if he's making all six counter dishes and all 12 table dishes at once. It's kind of like a maestro orchestra, but he has plenty of helpers - at least two wait staff, and an additional one or two sous chefs that are handling the auxiliary things around him. Food: while the meal was overall satisfying and filling, there was no standout highlight, or any particular dish that disappointed. It wasn't "meh", but it didn't really wow either the missus or I. I'm sure it'll be forgettable in a few weeks, which is the main reason for 4 stars - it's a bit more pricey than I'd expect for something this high quality. It qualifies for top 10 Omakase / Kaiseki in Seattle by nature of having high end ingredients and baseline high service quality, but those are table stakes given the competition.. The Miyazaki A5 wagyu was genuinely a decent portion size, but given that I've had it before, I guess maybe I expected a deeper flavour profile? The dish that I enjoyed the novelty the most was the Shabu Shabu king salmon - being able to eat sashimi-grade King salmon that you dip into boiling hot soup was a fun treat that definitely elevated the fattiness in the taste profile. Drinks: besides water, the missus ordered the hot hojicha tea, and I got the seasonal sake flight for $39. It was a decent selection, but it was heavily overpriced for the quality of sake and the amount you got. At most I'd expect to pay $25 for four 2oz pours, especially since one overlaps with Ltd Edition (kokuryu - black dragon). Verdict: it's lower half of the top 10 in Seattle - but it's still worth going if you want to celebrate something with high quality service and ingredients. I personally probably wouldn't do the $250 version again, but I'd be interested in doing the other ones. We both enjoyed ourselves - but idk if it's worth $700 for two people (service charge of 20% is added, plus tax...), so take that for what you will. Fun coincidence: all three couples seated at the counter when we were there were celebrating an anniversary - 11th for the farther couple, and 18th for the couple next to us. So for what it's worth - this place is definitely a destination for those that want to celebrate something.

    When we made the reservation, there were several tasting tiers to choose from with the menu varying…read moredepending on your selection. Upon arrival, a printed menu was waiting at our table listing each course, which I thought was a thoughtful touch. In a way, I know what we would be having that evening and able to take it home as a memory of the experience. We had bar seating so we were able to watch the chef and sous chef work together throughout the service. Every dish was artfully plated with well balanced flavors. I recommend Towa for a special occasion, celebration dinner, or anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in the area.

My son graduated and I made reservations here in advance and called to ask about a table for 10, and if they could accommodate us and they said they could. Great! And I separately called about wanting to bring cupcakes and if that was allowed and they were cool with that, so super! It is one of my son's favorite spots so when the evening arrived, we got to the restaurant only to be led to a table that seated 6 in one corner and 4 kitty corner from that table. So...a family gathering had to be split, with 4 of us not even being at the same table as my son-including me. Mom. And in order to be close to him I sat with my back turned from him. Not ideal at all. So I was definitely miffed by this. I approached someone about it-not sure if he's the manager or not but he was very apologetic about it and said that they don't have seating for 10 at one table. But they tried their best by putting us all in the corner together. Not the same thing unfortunately as we could not all celebrate or converse all together. I told him that I had called specifically asking if they could accommodate 10 and I was assured they could but I did not know I had to ask "at the same table?". They should have been forthcoming that it would be at two different tables otherwise I would have made a reservation elsewhere for the celebration. What could I do but just accept his apology? But then, with a party of 10, I would think we would get extra attention but I guess since tip is already included after 5 in a party, they just called it in because I had to ask for more plates, more napkins, spoons, & water because the setting at the table was for 2, and we had 4. No one even asked us if we needed any more broth nor did they ever come to ask if anyone wanted a refill of the AYCE meats. Not that we could eat anymore but no one even offered. And, since everyone had to order the same meat plates, and one person wanted the wagyu, we all had to get wagyu at our table. Doesn't seem fair to me especially when they don't even offer more but I guess that's policy. When my son and I come in by ourselves, they are very attentive and always ask us if we need more of anything. But it was hard to find anyone to come to our table. They never checked on us after they brought the broth and meats the one time. So let me say I was very upset that the tip was included because really, no one served us unless we asked for more things. No one checked on us. Then I had to go and find someone so we could pay our bill. They apologized again for not seating us together but what could I say at that point? I'm not going to make a scene but it ruined a special night when all of the family couldn't sit together. Very disappointed with this visit especially when it's one of our fave places and we frequent it often and spent a good amount of $ that night with 10 people.
