Tokyo Yakisoba Teriyaki - Maple Valley

Wow. Not good... First, I wanna give a couple positives: 1) The chef or owner was very friendly and a good salesman. I found myself liking him immediately and he quickly sold us on his daily special Monster Roll Salmon Roll. 2) The Miso was good. Hot, simple, nothing fancy, and tasty. 3) The salmon was fresh and flavorful. 4) The green tea was fresh brewed and tasty. Not O Cha, mind you, but good. That 's about all I can really say though... Some complaints: The rice was _terrible_. Like Uncle Bens pressed together until it stuck. This was not sushi rice. It was grainy and unpleasant. The Tuna was poor quality. We were assured it was fresh that day, but I have a hard time believing it. The Ebi (shrimp) was gross. Overcooked, chewy, and flavorless. I asked for one order of shrimp but got two. We didn 't get napkins or plates. It took a looong time to get our Miso. The man didn 't check on our tab,e for quite a while. Long enough for us to try to eat and make a mess without napkins. The sushi was hacked together and there was no wasabi present. As the rice was not sticky and there was no wasabi, all the sushi just fell apart. The rolls were not made properly either. It was clear that the sushi chef had no training whatsoever. All in all, the one person who talked to us was very nice, but this was by no means a sushi restaurant. They had many pan asian options available, so if that 's your thing you might enjoy it. If you crave sushi, go somewhere else...

The food here is awesome. My family and I really enjoy the yellow fish nigiri and the chef special Godzilla roll is great! Phil the owner is a funny guy too and makes the dinner a family experience. Would recommend.

Wonderful wonderful experience. The service is unmatched! The owner was our server and he really treated us like we were his only customers. Extremely friendly and relatable. He even gave us a free cucumber salad and small miso soup to try. We ordered the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki because we were craving teriyaki and this place was the only teriyaki joint open on a Sunday. Oh boy, we were so glad we visited for the first time! We had an excellent Korean beer and the teriyaki with the beer pairing was spot on. Perfect amount of spice! I loved how they put fresh vegetables in the spicy chicken sauce. It was absolutely lovely and welcoming. Both the soup and salad were phenomenal. Rich and unique flavors. He knew we'd love these additions. He was right! We will keep on coming back. Heck maybe we will try the sushi next time!

This place has always been incredible. The service is amazing and the food is great. Every time I come here I'm surprised as to how much they have on their menu. I would 100% recommend this place!

We are new to the area, and this is our favorite sushi/pho/ramen spot. The menu has tons of options, portions are large, and the food is phenomenal. The atmosphere is quirky and fun, and the owners are obviously involved. Definitely a good find, and somewhere we will continue to frequent!
