My coworkers recommended this place and I had to try it out. I went with their Grilled Shrimp Bowl and some Vegi Rolls. My friend got the Chicken Bowl and Potstickers. Our food was amazing and I'm coming back for sure. The shrimp was freaking perfect and with the pico and rice it hit the spot. Our service was quick and everyone was friendly. On the location side of things, the place is clean and they have a good mix of music playing making it stand out from your other places here in Canyon Park. read more

Spouse and I tripped a day earlier because we love PNW Teriyaki. After watching a famous YouTuber say this was the best spot in the Seattle area we knew we had to try it! The staff was friendly, outgoing, and kind! We loved how chared the chicken was and the pico added something different to a traditional take. As I turned 40 I realized I hate change! New Microsoft outlook (cringe), over complicated foams (puke), or weird ass fusion (sorry but Birria Pizza hard pass) I was a little worried! Happy to report this fusion of Japanese Brazilian teriyaki is a win! The perfectly cooked jasmine rice with the charred and juicy chicken blended so well and the addition of the pico added a fresh pop! The only issue is that cilantro dressing straight up tasted like the Costco pre-made taco kit (when you know you know). Just give it a try 400 plus people have given this place a 5 stars..... Side note the decor could be upgraded a bit! The tables straight up gave me IKEA vibes and the spacing between the tables ..... let's just say lots of Americans need space.... I don't want to hate...but I'm Asian we don't like conflict so bladder suffered as I was stuck because the lady enriched in my space. read more

This place is definitely worth the hype. I've been here twice, the first time I got the poke bowl and the 2nd time I got the house spicy chicken. The poke bowl was good, but I wouldn't say the best. But their most popular item is the house spicy chicken and it was delicious. Service was great as well, everyone is really nice and welcoming. Prices are also reasonable, definitely worth it - not your ordinary teriyaki chicken (tasty and unique)! read more

Ta Joia - House Spicy Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bothell, Washington

After seeing some buzz online about this place the last few days, I was able to stop by today. I called in the order and was told that it would take 25 minutes. I arrived a few minutes after the quoted time and ended up waiting in line to pay. When I got to the front, the cashier said she forgot to put in the order and that it would be take 10 minutes. Eventually the order was ready. Given that the restaurant is fairly new and it was a busy Friday night, some kinks were expected. I recommend showing up and ordering there. The online menu on their website does not reflect all the items available. The house chicken was solid. It tasted like typical grilled teriyaki chicken when you add the sauce. The bulgogi beef was good. There weren't that many onions in there for me to pick out, which is a huge plus for me :) I wasn't sure how the wings would be as take out but they were still crispy when I got home. The seasoning had a hint of spice. The sauce that it came with was more like ranch with some spice rather than the green sauce in the menu description. I would definitely come back again. Hopefully they'll have an online ordering system for take out. read more

Tried this Asian Fusion restaurant twice in 2 weeks and enjoyed the meals both times. Food is fresh & hot and staff is friendly. Their fried rice is tasty and the noodles were also very good and fresh. Only issue is when we ordered the noodles we wanted no protein so just wanted veggie's. I wish they had added more veggies to the noodles since we bypassed the protein. Everything we have tried was tasty & fresh. Definitely returning here read more

Oh my God! Kalbi beef, cilantro sauce, bowls..it's all delicious. They have only one high chair at the restaurant which sucks if you're going with kids. read more

Wow. Just tried Ta Joia for the first time tonight since I was in the area and got the grilled shrimp. It's DELICIOUS. There's perfect seasoning and slight char to the shrimp that just makes me keep thinking about it. The sauce + pico de gallo they have on the side are also wonderfully flavored and complement the shrimp and rice so well. Wishing I ordered extra of the pico de gallo since I'm a sucker for the fresh and slightly sour flavor :') I brought a bit of leftovers home and my husband took one bite of shrimp/rice and immediately was like "whoa where did you get this??!" We'll definitely be coming by whenever we make the 40 min trek to Bothell! Added bonus the service was so friendly and they played music that I personally love. read more

An Asian and Latin fusion gem nestled in a busy strip mall in the Bothell/Canyon Park area. They serve a lot of dishes you might find at a teriyaki restaurant or Korean restaurant with some fusion flavor. I really liked the Ta Joia Special but keep in mind it's only served after 4pm! Food I got the Ta Joia Special and really enjoyed the dish! It comes with 3 kinds of meat: Brisket, pork shoulder, sausage. The brisket was my favorite of the 3 and it was sooo soft and tasty. The sausage and pork were also good. The rice and pico accompanied them well. This is a bowl only served after 4pm. The crispy chicken and grilled shrimp bowl was also a great combination. Only had a bite of this but I liked the chicken katsu. Atmosphere Casual and open space restaurant that I didn't expect to find in this area. The wall art is super cute. Most people that I saw were here to pick up food rather than dine in. Pricing Average prices for the amount of food that I got and for the type of food. Definitely would come again! Service  Food came out quickly and people were friendly! You bus your own table afterwards. Other There is plenty of parking since the restaurant is located in a strip mall. read more

I was curious about this Korean - Mexican fusion and high reviews. This quaint restaurant had a lot of people when I got there 5:00 pm. The atmosphere felt like a hang out for millennials. The staff were really quick in getting my pick up together and were friendly. The food was very tasteful and full of flavor. Like another reviewer, I knocked down one star for the price. The chicken and beef teriyaki was $16.50 and the pork was $15. For the price, I thought there would be a lot more. But they were not generous on serving and I find it less than other typical teriyaki restaurants. Small servings, bountiful taste. read more

Delivery review. These guys have put such a spin on what they're doing that it seems almost like they've invented something completely new. It's a teriyaki place but many of the dishes are Brazilian and Korean. Brazilian/Korean yaki? Okay, ya gotta check out this place. Spicy Chicken This is where the newness showed up the most. It's got a sweet pepperiness on the outside of the chicken. Not sugary--the sweetness seems to either come from the pepper blend, or it's integrated so well that it seems like it does. It's regular grilled teriyaki chicken sliced and served over white rice, but the flavors are so interesting and different that it doesn't seem like the same thing at all. I gotta order this again and see if I can get it over steamed veg. Cucumber Salad Light sesame vinaigrette over the top of medium-sized chunks of fresh cucumber. Dirt-simple, probably doesn't take them that long to make, and not really the most cost-effective thing to order when you're eating out. But so damn good. You could put this next to almost anything and it would taste good, but next to grilled food it's an absolute champ of a side. Kimchi Got some heat to it, some nice earthy pepperiness. Decent little half-pint serving, just like the cukes. Put all together, this is a really nice combo for a yaki dinner. I'd love to check this place out in person. They're definitely up to something cool. read more

Teriyaki remix! I crave this place all the time, if only I lived a bit closer... but the drive from Seattle is always worth it in my opinion. Tucked into a plaza, Ta Joia is a family-run local business whose priority is to serve friendly delicious hybrid-style dishes (japanese... hawaiian... latin... korean) with fresh ingredients and flavors. I usually get either the grilled shrimp bowl (the shrimp is seasoned so well; with a slight kick) or the kalbi bowl (marinated so well; meat is always tender) - you cannot skip the pico with rice and the special creamy sauce! By the way; I could eat this sauce on its own, easily. read more

I was thoroughly impressed by Ta Joia! As soon as me and my coworker walked in we were greeted by friendly staff. I wanted a recommendation for my first meal and was guided toward the Hwae Dup Bap - Korean Style Poke Bowl. It was rich in flavor and texture and tasted fresh! I very much enjoyed the conversation we had the staff afterward. It seems like the mission of the restaurant is to fill the belly and the soul. Powerful! Thank you Ta Joia - best wishes!!! read more

The goated teriyaki joint in the Seattle area. It's definitely unique in its flavor profile compared to majority of teriyaki places but that's what makes Ta Joia shine. Definitely worth a trip to Bothell for their spicy chicken bowl. Get the pico as your side with the cilantro dressing. Thank me later Also service is always top tier. Shout out to Anthony with the good vibes read more

It was our first time visiting Ta Joia too and certainly not last time either! We brought our kids for a quick late lunch and were impressed with the food taste. Also the price was great. 5/5 recommended! read more

Food was a tasty fusion of Latin and Asian! I'm Korean and I thought it was great twist! Especially their use of cilantro and cream sauce. Service was super friendly and chill. Ambiance was half Korean cafe, half casual dining. I'm one star from 5 bc I personally prob won't go back bc I prefer pretty traditional Korean and Japanese food and it was a little heavier on the Latin part of the fusion to feel like I just had Korean/Japanese food. But for what it was, very delicious. read more

Drove through an hour of traffic to get Ta Joia. We had the Spicy Chicken and the Feijoada! Both were super tasty! Chicken had a great flavor that wasnt drenched in sugar like most places. It was like a glaze that had a kick without over powering the taste of the chicken. The Feijoada was delicious as well. Different cuts of meat which the salad/pico paired nicely with. It wasnt greasy but was full of flavor. It reminded my mom of her time of when she lived in Rio, Brazil. I will definitely come back! The owners are the staff and work everyday. They are super nice and you can feel the hospitality. Its like you're eating in their home as guests. read more

The food here was amazing. Came for lunch and got the spicy chicken with rice and pico. Mixing the pico with the rice was amazing. A guy came by and offered us sausage e for our rice and it was amazing. I think it was some kind of cilantro sauce. So good. I'm just mad I didn't know about this place sooner! You won't regret having lunch here. For ambiance it's a bit loud inside but we were also there during peak lunch hour. It was eclectic and the place has a good energy. Loved the mural on the wall "good things are coming your way"! I want to come back to try more! read more

This place is awesome! We came with a group of 7 and they were really accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was wonderful. My partner and I got the poke bowl and tofu bibimbap, and both dishes were so good and flavorful. Decent size too! Food is on point, service is top notch and the place is really well kept. We chatted with the owner, and she's absolutely amazing. This is a family owned business, so come one, come all and support! read more

Ta Joia - Tofu bibimbap - So good and flavorful - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bothell, Washington

I saw 5 stars for this restaurant. I hope all those are honest reviews from customers. I came & tried couple times before I'm giving this review. PRO: I like the cleanliness & friendliness of the staff. Food: **House Chicken & Fried Chicken have great flavor. PRO-CONS: **Chicken Katsu & Bulgogi Beef were just ok (eeh.. not standing out). Competitors nearby are better. CONS: The prices are "wayyy" expensive than many competitors nearby with better food. Food: ** Fried Rice was blend (forgot seasoning, again?). ** Kimchi Fried Rice was between blend & confusing flavor. I'm quite a food adventure with food, including Asian Fusion. The more we explore, the more we know the difference. ** Spicy Pork with Fish Cake, is probably better if you eat it right away. The fish cake will be chewy, but not hard. After 15 mnts (you arrived at home), the fish cake is unpleasant to eat. It's hard to chew. Perhaps, if they can make it way smaller cuts, it will be more manageable to eat, but still, hard to chew). It's up to you to try of course :) but you may want to explore more too around Bothell Everett Highway. *Honest review is important, not only for customers, but also a better restaurant. read more

To sum up my experience in one word: FLAVOR! Everything on my plate was well-seasoned and juicy. I had the shrimp bowl with pico, which came with what I'm 99% sure was cilantro sauce. I told my husband that I would drink that sauce straight out of a bottle if I could--it was that good. Staff were very friendly! I saw one of the staff communicating with a customer in ASL which I also thought was awesome. Was happy to see that the place was full on a Wednesday night. Two thumbs up for having outdoor tables as well. Will be back! read more

Our family just discovered Ta Joia last week and have been back for takeout twice. The traditional chicken is so delicious. Great sauces (we love the cilantro and teriyaki). I keep forgetting the unique name of the restaurant though, lol. read more

Tho the name might not suggest it, I consider this a Teriyaki Place, and a very good strong contender at that! Their proteins are very flavorful, yet still tender and moist. I enjoy having the different types of cooking styles, they have grilled, stir fry, and deep fried proteins! All very different, and all done very well. Good options is to add extra protein to have more choices... because you know I could never settle with just one at a teriyaki place. Self serve style, lots of space to sit. Clean bathrooms, and ample of parking. If you're ever in the area... I would recommend dropping by for some awesome Teriyaki at Ta Joia! read more

Was in the area for work and discovered this restaurant on Yelp! Ordered the spicy chicken bowl with the salad and the white rice with cilantro dressing. It's the simple meals that'll make a restaurant stand out to me. The chicken wasn't insanely spicy but just enough spice to make the taste memorable. If you can't get white rice and chicken down then you shouldn't have a restaurant. This place proved to me that you can always do more with less. Simple menu, simple dish BUT THE TASTE WAS GREAT. Definitely would consider coming back. Oh and I dined in and the portion was huge. read more

Amazing food with a family feel. Their spicy chicken is the best I've had and best enjoyed with a side of stir fried vegetables.

Thank you to my new yelp-friend Thao N. for the recommendation for this wonderful Korean/Latin-Fusion restaurant. First of all I would like to say that my husband is incredibly picky and hard to please (I can be like that, too, but he is far more so than I am), and he has found fault with and been dissatisfied with every local Korean restaurant that we have tried thus far. We resolved to try several new Korean restaurants this year, but I really didn't dare to hope that any of them would actually be delightful for him. However, he really likes this restaurant, and he actually didn't have a single negative thing to say about it! We have already ordered from this restaurant twice now, and we will be back again. Customer service was very good; we were treated with kindness and we felt welcome. The latin-inspired additions to Korean food are really interesting and unusual. I wasn't sure what to think of this at first, but somehow this works. The Pico de Gallo added to the rice improved the flavor of the rice quite a bit. We have ordered the Tofu BiBimbap bowl (this is one of my favorite Korean dishes, so that one was for me), the Kimchi Fried Rice (shared), The Ta Joia Special which features sausage, pork, and beef (shared), and the Shredded Pork (for my husband). As always since the pandemic began, we got a take-out order. I was impressed with the food. Although the Bibimbap bowl and the Kimchi Fried Rice are slightly on the greasy/oily side for these dishes, which normally would be a slight downside for me, the trade-off in this case was more than worth it in terms of the moist, delicious, hearty flavor. Instead of Banchan, we received a delightful small salad with lettuce and pickled vegetables. I am a fan of this salad. The meat was excellent in quality, portion size for the money, and flavor. Both my husband and I really like pork, and we enjoyed the moist, flavorful pork in the Special and in the Shredded Pork dish. The sausage was quite good as well; the Special features a large sausage and the Kimchi Fried Rice has small pieces of sausage in it as well. Although we usually enjoy meat in moderation, these were worthwhile and delicious treat meals for us. We're very glad we tried this place! read more

Ta Joia is a culinary gem that offers a wonderful union of Latin and Asian cuisines. The Bulgogi Beef and Spicy Chicken Feijoada dishes were outstanding and the cilantro sauce is so addictive that it should be a controlled substance. Special shout out to the chef who was clearly training the new staff but keeping the kitchen cranking out dishes without sacrificing any quality. Don't be fooled by the strip mall setting, this might be one of the best restaurants in the PNW. read more

My favorite teriyaki spot! Amazing homemade quality. You have to get the cilantro sauce. Spicy chicken. And the pico read more

I consider myself a foodie and not an fusion fan....but this was really good! Charcoal chicken was really juicy on the inside and the spicy sauce was a nice addon,definitely recommend the spicy chicken read more

We had been there previously and had the teriyaki, which was very good but ultimately Seattle-style teriyaki. Branched out a bit this time and had the grilled shrimp with the pico-style salad. These were the best grilled shrimp I've had in a long while, wonderful flavor and delicious herbs. The salad was also above expectations, unique and interesting flavor. I think these fusion dishes with South American flavors are where I'm going to focus future visits. My wife had the vegetarian noodles and while she was initially disappointed there were not more vegetables ( 95% noodles with a few bits of veggies), it, too, had an interesting and unexpected flavor (was that cinnamon in the noodles?) Anyway, the moral is to go here and stray a bit from your usual "teriyaki order." read more

Excellent, extra friendly service. Patient as we tried to figure out what to order. We were taking out, and it took a while, (20 min or so?) but this is not Fast Food, so it makes sense. Food was very good. Fresh, full flavor that uses seasonings that most places are too cheap to include. We were in Bothell for a DR appt, if closer to home we would be back very soon read more

I agree with the other Yelper Tim, this place's rating is way off. Yelp reviews are usually on point but this is not the case for this small Teriyaki place. We saw the review and gave it a try. What a disappointment! I would say it's just a average old Teriyaki place, not fusion, not special. The quality of meat, the cut they used, were pretty cheap. The sauces tasted like every other old and tired Teriyaki place. The only thing is the inside of the place looks more young and modern. Seriously. Not a five star restaurant. read more

Delicious food... i'm a visitor from out of town. The portions are big and it's a unique cuisine. The business is family owned the mom cooks and the kids run the register, etc. Apparently the mom is Korean, but she grew up in Brazil and they used to own a teriyaki place, that was successful, but shut down when Covid happened they had to close the teriyaki joint so they opened this place up. They have a unique mix of Brazilian, teriyaki, and Korean food with some other yummy stuff. Very reasonably priced for the high-quality and big portions. All good I'll be back! read more

Cute place. Interesting combination of influences. The food was great. I can see us going back.

I ordered a spicy chicken teriyaki and it was so good! The chicken was grilled to perfection and it had just the right amount of spice. I would totally eat here again. Also the guy at the register was super nice. Love the vibe read more

Food here is 10/10. Everything here is delicious. I highly recommend getting the special for the first time when its available after 4pm. A good alternative is getting half chicken and half crispy chicken. All of the meats here taste delicious when eaten with the green sauce mixed in with the rice and pico de gallo. The staff here is also fantastic too. They're always in a good mood, will greet you and give 10/10 service. read more

Nice little place in a big shopping center. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu was simple and clear cut. The food was great. You can see them cooking it so everything was hit and fresh. We got the chicken wings appetizer and it was delicious, piping hot and crispy. My son got the bulgogi beef bowl which i tasted and it was yummy. I can tell he loved it because his plate was empty before ours. Hubby got the spicy chicken and I got the kimchi fried rice. So good. The waitress came around giving us samples of the Pico, that was not your usual pick de gallo, this one was so tasty, it's sour and lemony which goes great with the rice. Speaking of rice, I tried their rice wine (banana flavored) alcoholic drink and that was refreshing. Highly recommend this place. read more

One of the best teriyakis I've had! The staff was super friendly in helping me pick what items to get. We got the ta joia special fried rice which was much better than anticipated! Lots of flavor and not too salty or oily. The chicken katsu had tons of flavor, little hint of sweet without the typical teriyaki sauce! The chicken katsu was juicy. The pico de gallo with the cilantro sauce complimented the rice and meats so well! read more
