Fuji Teppanyaki & Sushi

It’s been serving up better-than-Benihana food for years and is now run by a crew of vibrant, happy cooks who put on a show.

IJ Sushi Burrito

Like many sushi burrito spots, IJ Sushi Burrito serves a menu of excellent customizable burritos with almost unlimited ingredient options. You’ll also find some other dishes, like takoyaki that satisfies cravings and poke bowls with generous protein portions. It’s understandably difficult to choose between burritos here, so make it easy on yourself and try one of IJ’s signature options like the dancing salmon sushi burrito.
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
$$ | (702) 542-6642 | WEBSITE
In order to get to Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, you pull into a strip mall with plenty of parking, then walk through glass doors into a brightly lit, bustling dining room. This Lynnwood restaurant is technically a revolving sushi bar, and it’s located in a spacious, modern space reminiscent of a Tokyo tech hub. You can grab a booth or a counter seat and order some à la carte sushi—but we suggest you take a seat by the conveyor belt and try the excellent $2-5 plates that keep rolling by.
In any case, you’re going to have a fun time.
Wild Wasabi
$$ | (425) 776-8068 | WEBSITE
Wild Wasabi specializes in fresh-to-order sushi made with quality ingredients. You can taste this attention to detail in one of their excellent three brothers rolls or a bento box featuring fabulous salmon. You should also try their avocado bomb (available as an appetizer), creamy miso soup made from scratch, and udon noodles that kids will happily slurp down. Stop by for lunch with the family or a casual dinner with friends in the evening.
Misora Teriyaki Sushi and Wok
$ | (425) 678-1819 | WEBSITE
There are enough teriyaki and sushi spots in Lynnwood to fill a dozen lists, but if it’s hearty, value-packed meals you’re after, try this unassuming strip mall gem that focuses on generous portions. At Misora, you’ll find comfort in familiar favorites, like tender Mongolian beef or perfectly grilled teriyaki chicken. The bento boxes start around $12, and they also serve everything from crispy jalapeños chicken to fresh sushi rolls alongside steaming bowls of miso soup.
It’s the kind of reliable, satisfying place that makes you want to return again and again.
Edo Sushi &Sake
$$ | (425) 361-1055 | WEBSITE
From the team behind some of Lynnwood’s most beloved sushi spots, this restaurant is more casual and family-friendly than the upscale omakase counters downtown, but still absolutely outstanding. The menu leans fresh, generous, and expertly crafted—like the perfectly balanced Mango Kiwi roll with its sweet-tart fruit or the crispy firecracker roll with just the right kick.
It’s a fantastic choice for a relaxed yet memorable meal with friends or family, especially if everyone is game for the slightly playful yet divine Monkey Brain, prepared with care by the skilled sushi chef and customizable to your taste.
Best Sushi & Teriyaki
$ | (425) 673-7373 | WEBSITE
Your cousin might call this Japanese spot on the Lynnwood strip a seaweed-wrapped wonderland, but we’re not your cousin so we won’t. Best Sushi & Teriyaki makes gyoza the proper way by wrapping each dumpling in perfectly thin dough. And they do this exceptionally well—no surprise given that the family-owned team is behind it. Order the gyoza, which gets called the best in Seattle, and at least a few plates of their simple classics.
We love the savory, tender Mongolian beef with vegetables, and the straightforward spam and rice rolls: basic combos that eat like comfort food with a Japanese twist.
Toudai Sushi & Fusion
$ | (425) 903-4352 | WEBSITE
Toudai Sushi & Fusion makes phenomenal sushi. Or at least, their chefs, who craft Lynnwood’s best specialty rolls, are making phenomenal sushi on their family-friendly menu. The perfect combination of fresh fish, seasoned rice, and creative fusion flavors is the star attraction at this cozy spot with its warm and welcoming atmosphere, and what sets this place apart is the value.
Served in generous portions, these scrumptious, amazingly fresh rolls are a force multiplier for the deliciously tender sashimi on the platter. Get the family deal with four specialty rolls and crispy karage, and bring the kids for a satisfying meal.
Muto Sushi Machine Services
$$ | (425) 212-7694 | WEBSITE
A cozy Japanese izakaya and sushi bar, Muto feels like the warm-yet-inviting neighborhood spot of your foodie friends who don’t make a fuss about how authentic everything tastes. The menu offers consistent favorites, but if you’re visiting, make sure you try the fried chicken curry, mixed tempura, and comforting ramen. Finish with some fresh sashimi and the vegetarian sushi for a satisfying meal.
Sushi Hana Lynnwood
$$ | (425) 582-0322 | WEBSITE
This Lynnwood sushi spot with a modernized belt concept serves dishes that consistently satisfy, like fresh and well-made Spider Hand Rolls and California Hand Rolls. In addition to ordering those, we always get the poke salad bowl with quality fish and a clean presentation that delivers just a little bit of culinary delight. The place stays extremely efficient, but the staff is still attentive. Even if you need a water refill, they’ll handle it within moments.
Q Sushi Bar & Kitchen
$$ | (425) 368-8889 | WEBSITE
This family-run sushi spot—from the owner-chef who personally oversees everything—goes way beyond the standard rolls and into fish-you’ll-crave-again territory. The straightforward menu ranges from nigiri and maki to cooked dishes, and at least one kid-friendly option always seems to disappear from the plates. Start with the recommended Agidashi tofu, a simple bowl that comes with silky texture and delicate flavor. Then get the Okinawa sushi set, and escolar nigiri.
If you want the full experience (most of the counter seats offer a view of the chef at work), it’s best to grab a stool during off-peak hours. Otherwise, you might encounter the occasional slow service, but the fresh, affordable quality makes it worth the minor wait.
Sushi Blue
$ | (425) 449-9363 | WEBSITE
Like the original in Lynnwood, Sushi Blue is a takeout specialist. At this no-frills counter-service spot, you can wait by the small desk and anticipate generous portions of fresh fish. The salmon roll with its large, fatty pieces deserves every bit of its local favorite status, and the other raw fish offerings are a close second. You can also swing by early, in case you need to grab a quick order of insane-sized rolls, a box of super-filling sushi, or a platter ideal for sharing.
Muto Izakaya
$$ | (206) 532-8853 | WEBSITE
If you consider yourself a connoisseur of Japanese cuisine in Lynnwood, Muto Izakaya’s menu is essential tasting. This spot serves varied Japanese dishes you might not find at other local sushi bars, like their well-received katsu curry and flavorful tonkotsu ramen with generous portions.
(Make sure to try the tonkotsu ramen.) Whether you settle in for dinner in their pleasant dining room or enjoy a casual meal with their accommodating staff, your Muto Izakaya visit will be a highlight during your next conversation about where to eat.
BittyFish Sushi
$$ | (425) 977-0378 | WEBSITE
In the evening, lines of families crowd around BittyFish Sushi in the Lynnwood shopping center for some of the area’s most convenient fusion sushi, on a moving belt that lets kids grab their own plates right from the kitchen. You could skip the wait and get a quick lunch, like the well-liked veggie rolls with tofu, for a highly satisfying casual meal. But it’s also worth the hassle of squeezing in for dinner, because there’s so much more to enjoy.
Like the decent fusion sushi flavors: creative, accessible rolls that come out fresh from the belt with a big variety of vegetarian and vegan options. Or the friendly service from staff like McKenna and the manager, who go above and beyond with a smile, and is a great experience for a group looking for good food at good prices.
Hanari Cafe
$$ | (425) 678-8190 | WEBSITE
There’s plenty of great sushi in Lynnwood. But Hanari Cafe’s extensive menu and beautiful presentation make it the most remarkable sushi dining experience in the neighborhood. One visit, you could have a fantastic lunch consisting of the 2 roll special and a bowl of steaming ramen. And you could return the following week for the impressive Lover’s Boat platter with avocado rolls and Las Vegas rolls.
No matter how many times you eat here, the food always tastes super fresh and the cheerful staff always makes it feel delightful.
Sushi MISOYA
$$ | (425) 775-7979 | WEBSITE
Is Lynnwood still a sushi destination? How about Sushi MISOYA? In both cases, the answer is: absolutely, definitely. This traditional establishment has been operating out of its unassuming location for over 17 years, building a reputation as a hidden gem with exceptional service and delicious food. The menu remains focused on traditional sushi without sauces, allowing the true taste of the fresh fish to shine through.
Be sure to get the generous nigiri portions and the well-balanced rolls—and try the signature caterpillar roll and yellow fin roll at least once.
