My friend took our group to this place while visiting Seattle and this is hands down some of the best food I've had in a while. Every dish was flavorful, and the cilantro sauce was insane! The shrimp was so succulent, the fried rice was addicting, the spicy pork was tender, the chicken wings were fried to perfection yet still juicy, and the spicy pork with rice cakes had such a deep cumin flavor. The vibes of this place is so cozy and welcoming, and the staff were nice and accommodating. One of the workers, Christine, was so kind and kept checking up on us to make sure everything was going well. The mom/owner of the restaurant was also so sweet, coming out to talk to us and gave us and everyone else dining in some free Haagen Daaz ice cream. I love this place and will come back everytime I'm in the area! read more

Wow! What a delightful fusion experience. Highly recommended to my friends and family!!! I'll be back to try more of the menu items for sure... read more

Seattle teriyaki is basically its own food group, and I thought I knew the syllabus. Tá Jóia just handed me the final exam and graded it "A+" with extra sauce. I ordered the combo with House Chicken (spicy) and I'm not exaggerating when I say it might be the best meal I've paid for in the last year. The char, the flavor, the portion... it's the kind of plate that makes you stop talking mid-sentence and just nod at your own fork. But the sleeper MVP: the white rice + pico + that cilantro dressing. Mix it all together and it turns into this bright, creamy, salty-fresh magic that shouldn't work... except it absolutely does. My wife is still raving about it (she went fried rice and basically declared it a life event). We finally have a real reason to come back to Seattle. (Sorry, family and friends--you're still a close second.) read more

The food here is 10/10! So good. The owners are so friendly and you will leave wanting to come back again asap.

A teriyaki-korean-brazilian restaurant. What a unique fusion! TLDR this is one of the best teriyaki places I've been to in Seattle. Their chicken is grilled with plenty of char flavors. Despite that it still retains its juiciness and tenderness. The flavors from the marinade and sauce are very flavorful without overpowering the chicken. Even if you don't live near Bothell, it's still worth the drive to try the teriyaki! read more

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

The service was amazing. It was our first time and the gal working the till was super helpful and gave us a sample of their cilantro sauce which was tasty! I ordered the house chicken bowl with pico. I loved it. My fiancée got the kalbi bowl 10/10 all around. I was worried they may not get a ton of business but I was happy to see it fill up after we ordered! Will be back. The vibe of the space is minimalist but it works for them. read more

The food is good and the spicy chicken is definitely spicy and delicious. The bulgogi beef is also good but I would say it's your typical bulgogi. their food definitely has so much meat in it as well. The location does have parking lot so there's ample parking spaces. The service gave us free sesame balls which is so nice of them. The service is also good. You're supposed to order food in the counter before sitting down. The restaurant entrance had so much plants that you would be intrigued when you come in / out, and stop to look at them. read more

We get take-out from here regularly, we love Kalbi and House Chicken bowls! Noodles are also great too - note that the veggie noodles can be customized with protein of choice! Service is prompt, friendly and clean! Definitely recommend for any meal. read more

This place is located in Bothell, at the same shopping complex as the QFC. The inside is quite small, so seating is limited. The restaurant interior design is quite cute. During lunch hours, this place can get quite crowded. One orders at the front from a wall menu and the server brings the food out to you after its ready. We ordered the bulgogi beef bowl, the shredded pork bowl, and the Ta Joia fried rice. All three items tasted solid, but lacked the wow factor for me. The salad that came with the main entree was fresh, but rather ordinary. The flavors of the beef and pork were decent but still a level below those of authentic Korean or Chinese restaurants. Finally, because the server also acts as a cashier, it is difficult to get service once food is out. read more

My husband and I are in town for business and stopped by this place that happened to be on our way and had food that looked clean and healthy. Oh my... we did not expect to fall in love with this spot! This can't be! We don't live here. We're just visiting so we can't fall in love with a spot we can't visit regularly! It's a bummer. We both got bowls with pico - bulgogi for me and spicy chicken for him. The girl at the front was absolutely amazing and a breath of fresh air. She just had this amazing attitude and she was happy to offer us a salad in addition to pico just to let us try since its our first time. The place itself is cozy and bright. I can see why this place has 5 stars not just on Yelp but also what I've observed from the patrons in the store. They all seem to love this place! read more

Ta Joia is family-run restaurant located in a small plaza in Bothell. It was recently on Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants of 2024 so we stopped by for lunch. It's an interesting combination of Korean (the owner's birthplace), Brazilian (where the owner grew up), and Japanese (Seattle teriyaki) influences all wrapped up in one restaurant. We ordered the spicy chicken ($16) and the kalbi ($22) bowls. Both meats were tender and flavorful, and chicken had a good level of spice. We got them both with pico which was the right choice because it was addicting mixed with the rice and their cilantro sauce. I would even ask for extra cilantro sauce next time because it was so good. We also ordered the potstickers ($3.50) which were crispy and flavorful that they didn't even need a dipping sauce. The service was lovely and the food was delicious, and this is a really great lunch spot! read more

Cute little spot in Bothell. Light flavors and the fried chicken doesn't make you want to food coma after. Which isn't a bad thing but it's nice to be able to have plans have a meal too haha. Support local business and try this out! Pictures are spicy chicken, crispy chicken, and hwae-dup-bap (Korean style poke bowl). The crispy chicken and the poke style bowl were my favorite! read more

I didn't realize this place was in Yelp's 2024 Top 100 list until recently, but I was super stoked to check it out before even knowing this. I flew into Seattle for work, but I was heading north to check out some sights. Along the way, I wanted some lunch and spotted Ta Joia was nearby. Seeing it was well reviewed and I almost always have a craving for Asian cuisine, I dropped by to check it out. It was a weekday lunch, so it wasn't too busy inside. I took a look at the menu, and I had several questions about what to choose. I talked with the cashier to get his opinions and answer some questions regarding the menu, and he was super helpful to provide recommendations. I opted for the Bulgogi Beef bowl and added rice cakes to the dish. They also sold Guarana sodas in store, which was a nice plus for me given they're hard to come by! Individually, each of the components that made up the bowl were delicious. The bulgogi was super flavorful, the rice cakes were soft and chewy, and the side of pico was refreshing. I mixed them all together and added a bit of their cilantro sauce, and YUM! All the flavors blended well together, and I left feeling full and satisfied. There's plenty of space available in the restaurant, and even though it's not a full-service restaurant, the staff checked up with me and other dining patrons to see how everything was going. I'm glad that during my limited time in Seattle, I was able to dine here! read more

Ta Joia - Bulgogi Beef with rice cakes - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bothell, Washington

If you care about what you eat, but also don't want to sacrifice your taste buds to plain food, this is the place to go! The girls are very friendly and good at recommendations. There are a lot of vegetarian/vegan options, which are just as good as the traditional options. The atmosphere to the restaurant is very comfortable, with additional seating outdoors which is definitely nice in the summer time. Perfect place to sit down and also satisfies people who are on the go, trying to get back to the office. Highly recommend this restaurant! Hoping for an expansion in the future! read more

Ta Joia - it's not easy to find. But don't give up. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Was so excited to try this place after all the good things I've heard, but felt let down after tasting the food. It's good, but honestly doesn't stand out much. Maybe I just need to try a few other dishes. I had ordered the crispy chicken bowl and my friend got the Feijoada bowl. The crispy chicken was ok. It seemed fresh but tasted a little off. I did appreciate the crispiness and perfect crunch to the outer layer of the chicken. Portions were pretty big and filling as well. Loved the salad and the green sauce was amazing! The chef, I believe, also came by the tables to check in and to refill the sauce. Service was really great! They are all friendly and kind. The place is really clean and lots of space for people to sit. read more

On this last visit, I had the House Chicken which was grilled perfectly and was very moist and flavorful. Adding the pico and cilantro sauce is what it makes it the best!

By far the best teriyaki I have ever had. I always get the spicy chicken with fried rice and it has never disappointed. The pico and the cilantro sauce are the perfect complement to any dish which is crazy cause I absolutely hate cilantro. I just recently tried their gyoza for the first time and as expected, they were also very tasty. The employees are always friendly and helpful, and the decor of the place is cute and colorful. I would eat here every day if I could. read more

Ta Joia has consistently landed on Yelp's "Top" lists and I finally got to experience why! My order was takeout so I can't speak to the restaurant experience, but the inside is super cute and has a fun vibe. I went with the grilled shrimp, which is grilled shrimp, pico de gallo, a side of the signature green sauce, served over rice. I almost went with the poké bowl and I'm so glad I didn't because this was BOMB. The shrimp was cooked and flavored perfectly and the green sauce was insanely delicious. The sauce also had a kick to it which just enhanced the whole bowl. Weirdly enough the RICE was addicting too! It was super buttery and light and fluffy and I could've just had a bowl of that. Overall a super solid option for lunch or dinner in the Bothell area and I definitely plan to return to try more of the menu. read more

Tl;dr great casual fusion Super interesting fusion that mixes Korean and Brazilian food. Overall some great food and a nice ambiance when sitting down. read more

Really enjoyed this place and will be back for more. I see it as fast casual - you order at the front register and will get a number. While this place has gained notoriety as a teriyaki spot, I feel that it would unfair to Ta Joia to stop there, as they truly offer many other (excellent) dishes alongside their teriyaki. Ta Joia doesn't just do teriyaki great, they do many dishes well. My girlfriend really enjoyed her bibimbap, and my employee-recommended Ta Joia Special was excellent, too. This is a family run business and you will almost always see the mother (Yoo-Mi) and Daughters (Vivian) in the back cooking. Ambiance is very welcoming and bright. We ate at the restaurant and really enjoyed it. The chef(s) came out during our meal to make sure everything tasted as expected. This was a nice touch I am not used to seeing at other spots. read more

If it's your first time visiting they are more than happy to steer you in the right direction. The food is always fresh, flavorful and unique. Perfect spot to grab some food quickly and know you'll have plenty of leftovers for later! My husband and I enjoy the spicy chicken teriyaki and the bulgogi bowls. read more

This is hands down our favorite lunch spot! The teriyaki is absolutely incredible--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and consistently delicious every single time. Our whole family loves it and we find ourselves craving it regularly. The gyoza is just as amazing--crispy on the outside, tender and packed with flavor on the inside. It's a must-order every visit. Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. If you're looking for delicious teriyaki, awesome gyoza, and warm, friendly service, this is the place. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Based on one visit, this would be my "go to" lunch spot if I lived in Bothell. A food vlog-er posted and I followed. Amazing choice. I had the spicy chicken with pico. The pico adds a necessary "sour" note for the chicken and rice combo on this one. Great stuff. read more

The spicy chicken was amazing and the service was 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area

I was in the Bothell area and decided to try Ta Joia. I heard amazing things about this place and was excited to check it out. Everyone was so nice, kind, and friendly. They seem that have a great community and support the community as well. Nice amount of seating inside. We ordered the combo plate of crispy chicken and spicy chicken and the grilled shrimp bowl. It was grilled and cooked to perfection. The taste of the grill came through perfectly and paired amazingly with their signature green sauce and pico salad. The combination and mixture made every bite delicious. The portion size was appropriate and I would come back again. read more

This has to be one of my favorite spots for a quick meal! My boyfriend loves the chicken tereyaki and I always get the garlic shrimp bowl. I love that they have options for all dietary restrictions- I am gluten free and don't eat meat, so it's rare for me to find a place like this that has options for me! The food is always super flavorful and I just love the sauce they put on it too. The portions are large and I usually end up with leftovers. They have a great online portal to set up pickup orders and my food is always ready earlier than promised. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and always wiling to answer questions or update me about new menu items. The inside of the restaurant is cute with fun decor. I generally take my meal to go, but do appreciate the general ambiance of the spot. read more

Such a good first meal in Washington. Everything tasted amazing. We ordered the grilled shrimp, galbi, Joia fried rice, spicy pork with rice cakes, the house chicken, plus a few other dishes. Christine made the experience even better. She was friendly, helpful, and checked in at all the right times. The cilantro sauce was unreal. I wanted to pour it on everything, and I honestly could have finished it by itself. If you go, order the teriyaki chicken and the spicy pork. Both stood out the most. I will 100% come back the next time I'm in Washington. read more

Ta Joia - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Ta Joia has been on my list for along time. I have friends that go often. Was in at Bothell Local Market perfect day to pay a visit that was long over due. Vivian the owner is so sweet, everyone of the employees is so friendly and helpful. I knew I was getting the Spicy Chicken with the Pico and Green sauce cause I checked with my friend what to get the other dish the owner suggested it's one of her favorites the Spicy Pork with rice cakes. The spicy is spicy which is nice but doesn't take away from the flavor of the dishes. People rave about the green dance but what really makes the dishes unique hit for me is the pico. I'm a big believer in having something fresh or pickled with a protein I love how it brightens a dish up and ads freshness to it. The chicken has a nice grill and char to the exterior but remained moist. The spicy pork is more of a stir fry love that it has vegetables in it the rice cakes are an additional $2.50 I like the texture of rice cakes and how they absorb the flavor of what they're in. Will definitely be back! The space has a lot of natural lighting and sone great murals that represent what this Korean Brazilian fusion is all about. read more

I'm always intrigued by fusion food. I heard Ta Joia combines Asian and Latin American cuisine, so I came to give it a try. Well, it was quite a success! While the space isn't huge, it's big enough, and we walked into a bright and spacious atmosphere. The service was friendly and inviting. I didn't even know there was a lunch sized option until the cashier asked if we wanted it. It costs a bit less and was definitely enough (maybe slightly more than enough) to fill my hungry bell-eh. Spicy chicken with Pico- This was some of the best teriyaki I've had in the Seattle area. Charred beautifully, covered in enough sauce that you don't need more, but it doesn't hurt if you add it anyway. Great spice level. With the pico de gallo, the citrus tang randomly screamed "I'm here!" amidst its delightful dance with the flavors of teriyaki. And then.... AND THEN, the cashier came by with the cilantro sauce and OHH boy did that level up the dish even more. Cilantro & citrus should be combined with charred Asian meats more often. My husband got the bulgogi option with the same sides as me. It was decent, but didn't stand out compared to other bulgogis I've had, so I much preferred the spicy chicken. I was hoping for more fusion than just adding pico/cilantro to generally Korean/teriyaki style dishes, but I enjoyed the food enough to still come back and am excited to try other things on the menu. read more
