Very good and fairly priced I ordered a small teriyaki chicken and yakisoba and it was a pretty large portion which was nice! The taste was nostolgic and reminded me of this noodle spot I used to get with my mom read more

Mongolian beef is expensive and the quality of beef has gone way down. Not worth the money!

Ordered from this location and I think it's under new ownership. I liked the beef and broccoli but the chicken katsu was dry and over cooked. We had to wait 20 min for our order and we were the only one waiting. No signs on the outside about wait times. read more

This place definitely improved when a new owner stepped in a couple years ago. He's always so nice and friendly, whereas the previous man was always so grumpy. My go to is their chicken katsu. I think it's made with mochiko flour because it tastes a little sweet, which I prefer. Their portions have also improved since my last review. New picture included of their katsu from yesterday. I also like their gyoza and yakisoba. Their drive through option is also super convenient! I usually call ahead or order online (through uber eats or door dash) and pick up through the drive through. Their inside dining area is small but at least there's a place to sit down if you needed one. read more

Yumiko Teriyaki - Chicken Katsu - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Top spot in Lake Stevens, fast and delicious. Great beef and chicken. Rice is perfect and the cabbage slaw is a nice touch. Also nice they have a drive up window. read more

$44, they forgot my extra sauce, which is whatever, but when the sauces IN THE MEALS have a DROP of sauce that's when Ill give a review. Quality control isn't that hard, especially since I got my meal when y'all had NO ONE ELSE to serve, inside or drive-thru. Not re-ordering for a while, I guess. read more

Got the chicken Katsu, 10 piece gyoza, and the beef yakisoba and it was all 10/10. The drive through is such a cool feature of this lake stevens staple that's been around for YEARS! But I suggest calling ahead as they make it to order and it takes like 20 min to make and it's fresh!! So yummy! The katsu is wonderful and crispy, some of the best in the area. Gyoza are always hott and crispy as well. Can't go wrong there. And the yakisoba portions are insane. The amount of food they give you overall is great for the price. I've never been disappointed in the quality of the food nor the service. The meals also come with a side salad and the salad dressing is some secret recipe that's so good! Some Mayo base! If you've never been I highly reccomend. read more

Ok food but poor service. The guy wasn't very friendly. The portions are small for the price. I said I was dining in and ordered no salad. He brought it in a to go container with salad. No condiments accessible. I had to ask. read more

Extremely rude man this isn't the first time he was rude to me. First time he was being aggressive to me when I didn't know the sizes and he proceeded tell me in a aggressive tone that it's the same box but more food in it I thought a small would be in a little Togo box and then he proceeded to roll his eyes at me when I said small then started giving me attitude when I was paying. A month later I was to get some fried rice because the food was good but the service wasn't again same man came to the drive thru this time and recognized me and I recognized him and then he starts to give me attitude again made me wait 18mins when I had a 30 min break and I was simply asking him Nicely (because I wasn't in a crazy hurry and would of waited for the food) how long it would take for some fried rice and he said 30 mins with a hurry tone then I said thank you I wouldn't be able to wait 30 mins then he slammed the drive thru window in my face without asking me if I wanted anything else. I was going to order something smaller and faster but then he shut the window in my face like that I wouldn't ever support a business that has employees like this and can't deal with pressure without stressing... will no long be coming here again read more

Best teriyaki and wok in lake Stevens. They are a small restaurant with a drive thru window too. I've always ordered online for pickup and they ALWAYS have the order correct, piping hot and delicious. I would highly recommend!!! read more

Food is always on point takes a little bit time because they cook it fresh nice ambience if you wanna eat in house but usually we take home

Yumiko Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Delicious teriyaki - our favorite! We drive out of our way to pick up here rather than get something closer delivered or picked up! We have tried the yakisoba, chicken stir fry, and gyoza. They are all great! read more

We moved away 5 years ago and recently moved back. This was one of our first visits and the food is just as good and the staff are just as nice! Quick with pick-up orders and the drive-through is very easy and nice! read more

Good food and great service, love the drive through and the fast paced employees. Will always recommend! read more

Yumiko Teriyaki - Most of Yumiko's menu taken July 2023 - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

How have I been living in Sno County for 10 years and didn't know about a place that serves drive-through teriyaki? This tiny place is a pandemic lifesaver. No more do I need to settle for unhealthy chain-joint fast food when I've been working from home all day, haven't had time for a shower, but want a satisfying dinner that includes veggies handed to me through a car window, in whatever unkempt state I'm in. The food is simple, generously portioned, and mildly seasoned. Not too salty. No one abuses fistfuls of white pepper here, like so many strip-mall-hole-in-the-wall Asian places do. Nothing I've ordered here, including fried egg rolls, was greasy. There's garlic, onions, soy, sesame oil, and mirin or Asian cooking wine, in subtle but prudent levels. And that's about it. The meat tastes fresh; the beef and pork are lean and good quality. The beef with broccoli was loaded with lean beef and perfectly stir-fried broccoli and carrots. The chicken fried rice has that perfect little crisp-browning on the rice, abundant chicken, egg, frozen succotash mix, and even fresh sugar snap peas. Service is exceptionally polite and friendly. You drive through, order, then wait in an adjacent gravel lot for 5-10 minutes for them to bring you your food. The teriyaki has the right amount of char without being burnt to coal. Both the chicken and pork were tender and in very satisfying portions. My only complaint is that the included sauce cup is not extra teriyaki sauce; it's plain soy sauce. But apart from that, this place is a gem. read more

Service amazing, even though they were busy they still had time to check on us. Quiet ambiance and excellent food, they are quick and kind with their service and absolutely excellent portion for their teriyaki chicken and katsu chicken, the miso was a bit hotter for my taste but once it cooled down it was delicious. Don't understand why most of the reviews are so negative when this place a beautiful hidden place to go and they even have a drive thru. read more

The spicy teriyaki was spot on. The rice was good too. The salad had some old pieces in it, but overall was pretty tasty. The egg rolls were a little too big in my opinion. Paying $2 for a Kirkland bottle of water is a little exaggerated. $27 for two plates and two drinks. I would come back, but definitely want to see what else is out there! read more

Yumiko Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Ordered a spicy beef and chicken teriyaki combo and wow! I will definitely come back here again. Price is reasonable, food quality is good and service is fast especially picking it up in a drive through! I've tried many teriyaki places and so far this is the best in lake Steven's area. read more

Kind of hidden away, but food was great. Beef teriyaki had a smokey richness to it, and the chicken teriyaki had that perfect amount of char and juiciness I crave. Yakisoba noodles were full and delicious, and the gyoza was great! Lady at the counter was amazing and super helpful. Think this might be our new standard teriyaki joint. read more

Filthy dirty, crummy service and meh food. When you walk into this place, don't look up. Or down, or sideways, it is messy, dirty and the only reason there aren't any rats around is they're too scared to go into the restaurant for fear they may catch something. The lady at the register was rude and like the West Coast's Soup Nazi. She wouldn't smile, greet any customers or say thank you. Good service counts for a LOT, and the only way she could afford to be this rude was if her food was THAT good, but it really wasn't. My boyfriend was happy with his spicy chicken -- said it was spicier than most, but my food was nothing to write home about. Overcooked chicken, overcooked rice and obviously previously frozen gyoza. Considering the amount of time it took to get the food, it should have been served on fancy plates with pretty garnishes instead of the styrofoam containers they used. In this restaurant, the only difference between here and to go is the plastic bag. My boyfriend was wanting some water, asked for it and didn't get a cup, so thought they charged him for a bottle. He went and grabbed one from the cooler, and the lady behind the counter very rudely said, "One dollar for water." Then the male behind the counter who was a little more friendly told him if he wanted water, they would have given a cup. But he asked for water and no cup was given, so he just thought they'd charged him for the water. The gentleman told him they wouldn't charge tax. Awww, gee -- thanks for that. In the end, I say go to one of the other hundreds of teriyaki places around, because they MUST be better than this one. read more

Yumiko Teriyaki - Their fine China you get if you order it to eat in the joint. - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Moved away from my favorite Teryaki place and spent years trying to find a replacement. Can't believe Yumiko was under my nose the whole time! The food is consistently amazing, the owner and the chefs are always great. This is my go to spot for teryaki from here on out and cannot recommend it enough! read more

I dont get why this place have such bad reviews. Maybe they have new owners? New cook? We've gotten our dinner from here twice and they were all good. I love the kalbi beef (my fav) and chicken teriyaki. Yakisoba is good too, but could use more flavoring ( i have salty taste bud tho), Other than that, try this place out! They have combination options! read more

Food is always consistently good the only thing I would work on is their katsu chicken seems to be a bit dry

Always friendly staff. The food tastes good and portions are perfect for me and my husband. I always order the regular teriyaki and he orders the large size! Love the drive through option too! read more

This place used to be really bad before the owner changed. Now under new management it's reasonably priced and consistently tasty. Their drive thru ordering is also super convenient. read more

Worst teriyaki experience ever. I mean if you have a picture of an item on your menu and then what you get is clearly different then cmawn. Dirty and dingy dining room and don't get me started on the bathroom.... See pics for reference read more

Best teriyaki in LS by far. The owners are fantastic! I highly recommend the spicy chicken teriyaki, then mixing in the salad and salad dressing. It will change your life! read more

This place has the best vegetarian yakisoba noodles I've ever had! Not only do they make delicious tofu, they give you lots of it! You don't have to dig through to only get five pieces, it's practically in every bite. They don't skimp on veggies either. I really love this place and it's even worth the wait when they're busy. (It's no surprise they're often busy, it's so good!) read more

Couldn't remember if I ever had tried this place in all the years I've lived here but typically go to a competitor. I was pleasantly surprised as it was pretty good teriyaki. We got chicken yakisoba, spicy beef/chicken teriyaki and regular chicken teriyaki with gyoza. All were hot and tasty, cost about $34 at lunch time. Would definitely give it another shot. read more

I had the large sweet and sour chicken today. It was disappointing! There was more onions, peppers, and pineapple than chicken. Definitely not worth the money. The sauce was excessively runny and had very little flavor. It also had a strange artificial color to it. There was hair in my fiancé's food. Would not be interested in coming back here. Too expensive for how little poor quality food you get. read more

I don't know why there are so many mixed reviews for this place. Maybe it's hit-or-miss, but it was a definite hit for us today! The spicy chicken teriyaki is cut smaller than usual and charred to deliciousness. The sauce is both subtle and flavorful; I like it much better than the sticky sugary paste most places use! It was also a great value for the price. No complaints from my family! read more

The spicy chicken is actually spicy! This place has large portions, friendly staff and a drive thru! Awesome spot all around.

Great food however food was coldish/warm. There were 3 orders after me however they decided to cook ALL THREE orders before dropping them off on the waiting cars all at the same time! Bad and poor choice of delivering all 3 orders at the same time!!! Myself, along with the other 3 waiting cars waited 30-40 minutes! Myself - 40 minutes! Great food, bad business practices. read more

Based on another review, I decided to go to Yumiko today to get tofu yakisoba. It was so good, with lots of tofu and veggies. The service was friendly and fairly quick considering how many customers were ahead of me. I will be back soon! read more

I love Yumiko's. I stick to teriyaki or yakisoba. It's the best I've had in LS and Evt. Plus, they have a drive up window.

Confirmed worst teriyaki place to my family and I. We gave it one more try just to see if it would be good... It was raining out and it was nice that they have a drive thru option, but... Nope. Never again. It's just too bad. I really wanted to like this place. 2/5/2020 read more

Yumiko Teriyaki - Chicken katsu - Japanese Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

I'm reading some of these reviews and I can't believe it. This is the worst teriyaki I've been to and I've been to a lot. First of all the guy taking the order seemed annoyed that he had to get up from his computer to take my order. The place was rundown and dingy. I ordered the beef teriyaki, the meat was like a jerk. Extremely dry and drenched with sauce. Only 1 little scoop of rice, and the salad seemed a little dated. I'm rewriting this review because my first one seemed to have disappeared. Hmmm read more

Great food. Wonderful people. Definitely as good as teriyaki gets in Lake Stevens -- in fact, this could compete for Best in Class among the various "meat and rice in a styrofoam box" restaurants from which I've had the pleasure of taking food home to sit on my couch. While dine-in is an option, the ambiance isn't what keeps me coming back. I keep coming back for the generous portions and the sweet, sweet burn of the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki. read more
