As some of you might know it, I am a huge fan of Japanese cuisines. And through my 6 years of living experience in Tacoma, I have found some great Asian restaurant around the area. These restaurants that I list below are considered good based on my standards, so feel free to give them a try when you are craving for Asian cuisines.
Around PLU - walking distance
I bet everybody is familiar with the area around PLU, so I will just list them out with less detail.
Cheap teriyaki restaurants: Happy Teriyaki; Uni Teriyaki
Great food but not so expensive: Zen Ramen & Sushi Burrito; Farrelli's Pizza; Domino's Pizza
More expensive options: Trapper's Sushi; Marzano Italian Restaurant (require reservation)
Other than these restaurants, I've also heard that there are good foods in Marvel Food & Deli Grocery Shop. This Russian grocery shop is a good place to shop for European ingredients; however, they also serves cooked food in the separated cafe area. Look for the Bakery sign and enter through the separate door on the left.
Here is the address: 301 133rd St S, Tacoma, WA 98444

Description: This is a Japanese Teppanyaki (steakhosue) that offers great sushi. I've never tried their Teppanyaki yet, because the Salmon sashimi bowel that they offer is too good.

Description: For me, Teppanyaki is more about performance, or the experience, rather than the food. The fried rice here, tho, is amazing. The average cost here is around $20.
