Food: big portions, quality taste! I was pretty satisfied with the meal. We got spicy chicken and the beef teriyaki. Beef was soft but I felt like there was a bigger portion of the chicken. Happy to get both again.

Service: expect to wait as there is usually a line for orders and the food is being made fresh. Highly highly recommend you call first then expect to wait ~15min give or take.

Atmosphere: community posters for events and old magazines to read while you wait. Lots of plants and kind of in an odd place next to a liquor store and gas station.

Overall, I’d come again for a filling casual meal where I’m not in a rush. Solid place on the radar 👍🏼

I tried this because of it having pretty good reviews and was very disappointed. Small portion of meat for the price and the fried rice was not great, most just pees in rice. Would not return here

Teriyaki joints like this one are essential, life-giving foundations for neighborhoods, and the city as a whole.

The rice was mealy. Waiting area was so very cold.
Plastic containers are cheap. One cracked leaking sweet & sour sauce in bag and elsewhere.
Food flavor was OK.

Food is delicious and portions plentiful. The spicy chicken teriyaki and pork fried rice are the best in Seattle. The gyoza are also delicious. They no longer offer dine-in since the pandemic, so only to-go orders. They recently switched to higher quality take-out containers which I really appreciate. I’ve been coming here for quite a while and have never been disappointed or hungry afterwards.

Food was fresh and very tasty! The chicken and beef were very tender, and obviously cut carefully with no fat or gristle. The eggrolls were delicious and crispy. The small space was covered in neat posters for local plays and other local information. Would 100% recommend

This is what teriyaki is supposed to be like. It’s flawless. I love these guys! I don’t care how quiet and reserved they are because they make the finest food around. Love them!

Just tried the classic chicken teriyaki with a can of pop. Came out to under $14 which unfortunately is considered an amazing price for teriyaki in Seattle these days (competitors further north on Greenwood would charge around $18 for a similar order).
