Toshi's Teriyaki Grill

Horrible experience.
After seeing hundreds of posts about toshio and his “legendary teriyaki” I am absolutely disgusted at my experience. Drive all the way from Seattle to show a friend who started teriyaki..
The steak was inedible, chewy and fatty. The chicken was dry and bland. And the rice.. well you can’t screw up white rice so.

Ended up taking only 2 bites and getting food poisoning and had to throw it away.. and you know what. As a manger in the industry for 14 years. That pisses me off. 30 dollars and a tank of gas down the drain for nothing. And we ended up having to spend another 50 bucks on dinner because we obviously didn’t eat anything.

This place is a hidden gem. My favorite dish is the combo (beef plus chicken). Their coleslaw is amazing, I mix it with my rice, fantastic! Prices are great too. You can't go wrong with Toshi's.

The best Teriyaki in Seattle.

I come here all the time for lunch and usually go with the beef teriyaki, or combo (chicken & beef).

The the staff are friendly, the food is prepared quickly, the portions are large, it's a great price, and it's always delicious.

Only their service hours could be improved as they are only open Tue-Fri, & close between lunch and dinner.

However, as long as the quality stays the same I'm okay with it!

I've been trying to get teriyaki from "The" Toshio for a while, and finally made it there for lunch.

First, the place is clean, but spartan and plain and has no sit down tables (though there's one outside). I never saw Toshio, who was cooking behind a partition. I assume it was him, but I can't prove it.

Second, the teriyaki is indeed better. It was perfectly cooked (not tough) and reasonably moist. It also has a nice smokey flavor. Otherwise, it's teriyaki like everybody else's. Teriyaki strikes me as the restaurant people run. If they don't know how to cook. Toshio clearly knows how to cook. But the difference isn't transformative, it's more like 30% better than everybody else. Else. So I very much enjoyed it and would be thrilled to go back again, but Mill Creek is 35 to 40 minutes from me, and I don't think I can make the drive again, but I'm very happy I did this time.

Place was a bit ran down inside. The bag it came in had black short hair on it. We ordered 2 chicken katsu that were so greasy the batter was falling off and soggy inedible! We also got a beef and chicken teryaki and beef was very tough. No gyoza sauce they provide or katsu sauce. I am not sure how this place has such a high rating we had to throw away!

The people were super friendly. The food, however, was kinda bland. It's also take out only. I guess that's my fault for not checking before I went.

Birthplace of Seattle style teriyaki. I love the char in the bits of chicken and the sauce is delicious. Staff are very friendly. Take out only.

I recently ordered takeout from Toshi's Teriyaki in Mill Creek, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish!The food was still hot and fresh when I got home. The teriyaki chicken was perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable.Even though it was takeout, the staff was friendly and made sure everything was packed neatly and securely. If you're looking for delicious, authentic teriyaki for takeout, Toshi's Teriyaki is the place to go. Highly recommended!
