High hopes, but left underwhelmed…read more I visited Akane Ramen in Mill Creek for the first time during peak lunch hours and was surprised to find only one other party dining there. We were seated quickly and service was prompt throughout the meal. 1) We started with the Garlic Beef Chahan (fried rice). It came in a generous portion and had decent flavor, but it was a bit oilier than I would have liked. I also didn't notice any green onions, which could have helped brighten up both the flavor and presentation. Visually, it was pretty much just brown on brown. It wasn't bad, but it's probably something I'd skip on a return visit. 2) For my entrée, I ordered the Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen with an extra side of noodles. The ramen arrived piping hot and fairly quickly. Unfortunately, despite specifically asking for the extra noodles on the side, they were added directly into the bowl. Not a huge issue, but a little disappointing. The noodles themselves had a nice texture, and the pork was decent. The biggest letdown was the broth. I found it surprisingly bland and lacking the depth and richness that I look for in a good bowl of ramen. It needed more seasoning and overall flavor to bring everything together. It made me think of dirty dish water. Oh yeah, they also cheated me by not adding in the egg. Just noticed that as I am writing my review and looking at the picture. Overall, I had high hopes for a ramen spot so close to home, but I left feeling underwhelmed. Maybe it was just an off day, but for now, I'm willing to drive a little farther for a truly memorable bowl of ramen. There are better options out there for those looking to satisfy a ramen craving.

I was looking for dinner in the area and happened to stumble upon this bento spot on Google Maps. After a quick look through the photos, menu, and reviews, it seemed worth trying, and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento, and after trying it, I can confidently say this is one of the most generously portioned and thoughtfully put-together bentos I've had in a while. The chicken was juicy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The attention to detail across the whole box really stood out, from the egg maki with crab stick to the pickled assorted veggies, yakisoba, radish, and a mountain of perfectly crunchy assorted tempura. Every component felt intentional and well executed. Beyond the food itself, which delivered on quality, flavor, and portion size, the presentation was great and the interior was extremely tidy and well kept. I got my order to go, and I really appreciated that they had seating available for takeout customers. The owner, I believe, who took my order was also incredibly friendly and patiently waited while I decided what to get. That kind of hospitality really adds to the experience. Between the excellent food and the warm service, this spot deserves way more attention. Honestly, if a place like this were located closer to downtown, like South Lake Union, Queen Anne, Fremont, or Madrona, it would easily become one of the most popular teriyaki spots around. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu next time. There is ample parking around the plaza which is excellent as well!

The food came out stunning and felt like a home made meal. There was nobody else in there the whole time we ate which was shocking! I hope more people find out about this gem.

Delivery review In…read moreshort This is about the chicken, which bumps up the rating quite a bit. Fantastic fried chicken. In long This place is listed on delivery apps as Kami Fried Chicken and Teriyaki. The chicken from here was absolutely fantastic, but the sides were ordinary. I don't know how quickly I'd reach for sushi here--looks like they might do some stuff way better than others. Miso Soup I'll be horrified if I ever find a place that messes up miso. This was really good, always hits the spot. Veggie (Stir Fried / Steamed) Soggy and overly sweet. Don't bother. Ika Karaage (Calamari) Crazy chewy. Looks amazing in the photos, looked great when I opened the clamshell. Couldn't even finish a bite. Crispy Soy Garlic Chicken Star of the show without a doubt! We talked ourselves into this before I stopped to think that $25 seemed a little high for 10 pieces, then we saw the order--huge box, super heavy. Opened it up and found gigantic full drums, not drumettes. They must be ordering the better bags of chicken from whomever they use as a supplier, because these are the biggest drums and legs I've seen in forever. One order in, with just one flavor chosen, and these folks are already high in the running for top chicken around here. Great flavor, just crispy enough, not heavy on the batter at all, steaming hot, tons of moisture inside. It would have been really easy to overeat because it was so good, but there are still 3 pieces in the fridge downstairs 'cause it was just so much food.

Same location different name, I believe the current is Kami Fried Chicken and Teriyaki and it's…read morebeen this way for about 3 months as of this review. Now, while I love me some sushi, I'm a sucker for fried chicken, especially Korean fried chicken. We've never been here before so with a little free time and some hunger pangs we decided to give Kami a try despite a 5 Guys next door (and I do love me a good burger). "Walking in first impression", nice, clean and the wonderful aroma of fried chicken and teriyaki! It wasn't crowded and the digital menu was simple, with many choices, but at the same time not overwhelming. As for prices, maybe it's because of the current financial/political environment, but while not the premium prices of a fancy restaurant, I would gauge it at mid to upper mid in prices. In the end though, I would say definitely worth it. We were greeted by a nice gentleman who was polite, kindly and did not ever made us feel rushed. So we were able to peruse the menu and debate choices with out any pressure. We put in our order, tofu yakisoba, 10 piece garlic soy Korean fried chicken (choice of 5, 10 and 20 piece), side of fries and a pop. We were told about 15 minutes, which was fine. That said to me that our meal was made to order so hot and fresh. Honestly we didn't know what to expect as this was our first visit. So when the food was served! Oh, the smile on my face. I was caught off guard on the portion and on top of that a wonderful presentation of color and aroma! The one thing I guess that kinda threw me off was in my mind I was thinking of maybe fried chicken strips so when 10 big fat drumsticks/wings showed up! I was like DAMN! The side of fries was more like a mound and the serving of yakisoba was OUTSTANDING! As for the taste, HOLE-LEE-FISH! Probably one of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Crispy, full of flavor and not just fried chicken with some sauce poured over it like some places do, but nice, marinated and oh so GOOD! There are several other flavors I need to try, but I highly recommend the Soy Garlic. The tofu yakisoba was made perfect! Not dry, not too saucy, but, perfect! Not to mention flavor, so good! Now I wouldn't order tofu on my own, my wife ordered this dish, but even w/o the protein, this was super TASTEY! Imagine if it was beef, chicken or pork! But you know, the tofu was pretty damn good too! That, with yakisoba noodles, the crisp vegetables and the sauce, I definitely recommend this dish as well. As for the French fries, some damn good fries, definitely fresh out of the fryer for sure. Like burn the top of your mouth hot. God I love hot fries. So much better than warm fries or luke-warm to cold fries. Remember how I mentioned the 15 minute wait, made to order? Yeah, everything was so hot! Fresh off the pan, no sitting around, no waiting, no heat lamps! Definitely worth a bit of a wait for this quality of food. So needless to say we ended up taking some home, no complaints there. Recommend, unless you are seriously hungry to order the 5 piece chicken if you don't want to share or have left overs. And prepare for family style so sharing is caring. There will definitely be enough to share and go around. Will be going back to try several other things on the menu for sure! Kami Fried Chicken and Teriyaki, BIG THUMBS UP!

I've been going to this place for years. It's not the best food in town, but it's definitely worth…read morethe money. The fried rice is decent and the chicken teriyaki and egg rolls are pretty tasty. They are very polite and their service is pretty quick to boot. I usually get take out from these guys and eat at home. I've only dined in a handful of times. It's pretty quiet and it has a nice atmosphere, I just prefer to eat at home. They also sell bottles of their in-house sauce which is neat.

I was surprised that an unassuming Teriyaki place had rave reviews about its jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) & jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) by other Korean patrons so I was determined to check it out. It was a warm day, so my husband and I weren't really feeling soup, but we ordered the jjampong and Korean Crispy Honey Chicken. The jjajangmyun was delicious and I really enjoyed the noodles in particular. According to other reviews, they pull them in house! The Korean Crispy Honey Chicken was perfectly fried, and the rice cakes were also a nice textural bonus. I found the sauce to be just a tad too sweet for my Korean American palate towards the end of our meal, but my husband really enjoyed it and noted he'd never had fried chicken this delicious at a non-fried chicken specialty place. I'm very excited for future visits and to try more items on their menu!

Located in Alderwood Plaza, there's plenty of parking nearby within walking distance…read more I'd say Sushi Hana is one of my favorite conveyor-belt sushi spots in the Lynnwood area. I usually come here 2-3 times a year when I'm craving "fast" sushi. Since they've been open, I haven't had a bad experience or poor-quality food. If there's one small drawback, it's that some staff (not all) aren't always attentive with things like water refills. That said, service here is fairly minimal by design--staff mainly help with drink refills, clearing plates, and bringing out items that the conveyor or robot can't deliver. The ambiance is fast-paced and casual. You order from a tablet, and your food arrives via conveyor belt to your table. Most diners aren't here longer than 1-2 hours. It can get a bit loud due to close seating and the conveyor/robot activity, but it's nothing that takes away from the overall experience. As long as the food and service stay consistent, I'll keep coming back whenever I'm in the mood for quick, convenient sushi. TL;DR: Reliable spot for quick, good sushi with a fun conveyor setup. Service is minimal and can be hit or miss, but the food keeps me coming back.

However, the nigiri portions were quite small for the price, and the salmon wasn't as fresh as I'd hoped. The tempura roll was also a bit soggy, lacking the crunch I was expecting.

On a recent shopping trip to 99 Ranch I saw the Grand Opening sign for Robatasumi and decided to…read moregive them a try. It seemed they popped up overnight but reviews elsewhere show that they've been open for at least a week. We ordered the Rainbow Combo, a Ninja Roll, and a two-piece hamachi nigiri. It was empty except for us. The person behind the counter said it would take about fifteen minutes so we sat down to wait and take in the scenery. There are more tables than I expected, a larger space than I expected, and a sad-looking, algae-covered fish tank that creates some privacy for the storefront and needs a good cleaning. I don't think our wait was 15 minutes. Soon we were walking out the door with a compostable green bag filled with sushi (yay for compostable, although the to-go containers were typical plastic). The star of the show was the hamachi, which was buttery and fresh. The rice underneath, however, was a disappointment. Cold and hard. Inflation is a {^|&!?$ because it was $9 for two pieces. The Ninja Roll (imitation crab meat, avocado, cucumber, topped with shredded imitation crab stick,spicy mayo, eel sauce, crispy onions) was tasty but lacked the amount of shredded crab salad that I envisioned when I ordered it (I'm a sucker for kani kama). The fish on Rainbow Combo was fresh and "succulent" according to my dining partner. At first glance we thought the wasabi was the same kind you'd get in a grocery store sushi package (which I hate) but once we tasted it, we admitted we were wrong - it was just piped into the container in the same shape as the more ubiquitous wasabi you see in grocery store packages. One thing I didn't ask about was how the fish is sourced, which I know is an important consideration for many sushi lovers. Next time we go I will ask and report back. All in all, a solid start for this strip mall sushi joint along 99.
