"Indulge in the essence of authentic teriyaki at its finest in the heart of the PNW, crafted by the legendary Chef Toshi since 1976."Each bite of the chicken katsu, grilled chicken, or beef unveils tender perfection, perfectly complemented by the precisely balanced sweetness of the teriyaki sauce. Accompanied by a delightful coleslaw, every dish is a symphony of flavors.With less than 13 dollars included tax (can you imagine it in 2024?), you're treated to the quintessence of Seattle's most beloved cuisine. Definitely worth driving an hour just to savor a chicken teriyaki that captures the essence and history of our city.

Toshi is a legend! We trekked up from Seattle and it was well worth it! Everything was excellent and the beef was even better than expected. Chicken was so moist and smokey. The spice level was perfectParking: Large shopping center lots of parking
10 Ounce Beef Steak $13.25: I've had teriyaki at 2 other places in Seattle, and don't recall being that impressed. I wanted to try this location that's operated by THE Toshi himself, and was not disappointed. We came in on a Tuesday night and ordered in store, and were quoted 20 minutes for our 4 meals to be prepped. Actual prep time was 15 minutes. We had to drive 20 minutes before we could dive into the food, and it was still warm and so tender. It comes with one sauce but I did order extra sauce ($0.25 each) because I can't risk not having enough. I did find the sauce too salty for my liking, but honestly found the beef pretty good on its own. However, when it cooled down too much, it became too chewy for me, so this is best eaten when fresh. I always prefer beef over chicken, but I did try some chicken from my partner's Chicken and Beef Combo $13. It was pretty good! I liked that it was thin slices, and there was some charcoal grilled flavor that I didn't have with the beef. I might spring for this next time!*****My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here.

Best teriyaki around, hands down!!! It's a bit far for me but so worth it! I don't mind eating in my car as the quality is amazing. Original chicken is all that I get.
Amazing, look I’ve ate at 20+ teriyaki spots in western wa. I even had my favorite spot. But definitely my NEW favorite. The quality and the price is just right. This chicken and beef combo both were of very high quality meat. Cooked perfect, fast service, and delicious.. left me impressed. Definitely will return and recommend.

I moved to Seattle 3 years ago and just could not understand all the rave about local teriyaki (being partially Japanese descendent myself). However Toshi has shown what a Japanese master does: just get one simple thing and bring to perfection. The meat was grilled in a way that was tender, juicy and smoky. The rice was cooked on point, and the teriyaki sauce, even though not traditional, it was straight to the point and balanced, not the overly sweet stuff that you find around here. And all of that under really reasonable prices! It worths the drive! I will definitely come back and recommend to everyone that mentions teriyaki onwards.

This is literally where they INVENTED seattle teriyaki! Toshi is still slinging his original recipe at the grill with his lovely lady. Absoltuely no frills place, infinitely humble, you'd never know a living legend was here still making fantastic little teriyaki plates.Too often the pioneer falls behind the competition, but this place still holds its own against the evolution of teriyaki. If I had to characterize the profile here, it goes for more char flavor than normal teriyaki, and I highly reocmmend the beef that's the best I've had at teriyaki. They use an incredibly tender cut that is so flavorful. While I'm usually a chicken guy, I can't help but crave the beef here the most for its uniqueness.If you're a teriyaki fan make sure to make a pilgrimage to the guy that brought us such a wonderful dish! Thank you Toshi!

Toshi’s Teriyaki is overall solid. Theres nothing extravagant or special, but it tastes good and the prices are affordable. Which is all I really expect out of ordering Teriyaki.The portion size while being a bit smaller than other places, is actually just enough for me to eat through in one sitting. If you’re looking for a quick bite of Teriyaki that tastes good, I recommend Toshi’s.
