Next to the S-Mart, Chinese grocery store, Terry’s kitchen may look more American than Asian. However, Terry’s kitchen is owned third generation Japanese immigrant Terry Takeuchi. Since its opening in 2017, Terry’s kitchen has been the center of the Asian immigrant and its descendants community not only of the city of Bellevue but also of its surrounding cities such as Seattle and Renton.
