The best teriyaki place in town and even in the greater Seattle area! The chicken is tasty and flavorful, outside is crispy and inside is really tender. We also ordered a short rib teriyaki, the ribs are juicy and tender, def one of the best short rib teriyaki I have ever had. Also great portion size, definitely recommend it and will come back for sure!
Mostly do 'take out' so I didn't rate 'atmosphere' but there's always lot's of people eating in when I pick up my take-out order. I don't think they'd be there if they didn't feel good about eating in or the service.
This is one of my family’s favorite Teriyaki place. I always order my large bento and some noodles, the noodles are so packed with flavor it’s a must try! My kids live their gyozas and beef fried rice. I love how I’m able to place my order on the phone and pick up a few minutes later.
Great little spot with authentic cuisine. Prices are about average but the food was worth it. Quick service too! The pork fried rice was very flavorful and the beef and pork combo was excellent and decently spicy.
This is my "to go" place whenever I think of going out and buy some food to eat. Love the pork fried rice and crab rangoons! The lady at the counter is very very nice, recognizes me and already knows what I always order. Edit: Had to add new review as I can't post additional review.. I recently just tried their Short Rib and all I can say is that it tastes really good! Definitely fits my taste buds. The sweetness, the amount of short ribs and rice are plenty to eat in one sitting. The food also doesn't look and taste dry. The Short Rib is worth its price.
I have tried all the teriyaki places, and this one has the best portions and taste very good. I never go anywhere else now. This is my place. It's just that it's small, so most likely it's best to take out during peak hours..
Excellent teriyaki! Got the teriyaki tofu, which comes in either a fried or steamed option. This is the fried option, and it was very good. Nice woman at the register, and quick service to go.
