“ Our first time visiting after a beautiful trip to the Arboretum. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki and veggie tempura, my husband ordered Chicken and Gyoza. Plus 2 drinks. Great service, delicious helping of food, cold beverages and the environment and potty was clean. Many take out orders coming and going during our stay so the community loves this place. We will come back again! ”
“ When they say very hot they very much mean it. It's like going on an episode of Hot Ones. I've had some of the hottest hot sauces in the world. Their very hot is up there with the hottest. You will be hiccuping. But it did its job and woke me up to complete my shift when I was experiencing mid-day drowsiness. I'll order it next time as regular as I realize this place does not mess around with the word hot, they actually mean it. Well done, I am impressed. ”
“ First time ordering from here. The tempura combo looked good so I ordered it. For takeout, everything was packed very nicely. I like how the sauce is wedged in the rice so it won't tip over. Very clever. Unfortunately the tempura was just mediocre. The veggies were very dry and batter very thick. After like the 5th piece, my jaw started to hurt from how thick the batter is. I'd be down to try another item menu in the future but the tempura was just okay for me. Oh but I really enjoyed the salad! It was very refreshing and tasty. ”
“ I'm obsessed with place it's a strong yes- chicken teriyaki with gyoza - chefs kiss and such kind and amazing owners! ”
“ Some of my favorite teriyaki I've found in the Capitol Hill/central district area. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the people inside take care of you and always deliver a great meal. I really enjoy the option of chicken breast teriyaki here. As others have said the fried rice is excellent too! It's a great quick meal and portions are big. Can easily split, share, or expect some leftovers. ”
“ Idk why this shop got low rating huhhhh I'm confused the chicken tastes so good and not gamy at all ”
“ My go-to for ordering teriyaki off Doordash. Eventually decided its significantly cheaper to just go in. Prices a lot better in person than ordering. (+) good prices when not ordering delivery (+) big portions (+) really big menu (Id like to try the chicken and mushroom next) (+) one of the best teriyaki spots based on the 4-5 spots I've tried in Seattle. (-) Bit of a wait. Front guy is busy taking orders on the phone before getting to me and you can see the row of food they've prepared for the many delivery drivers that come in and out during the wait. That means a bit of a wait as the chefs balance those orders and mine. Good sign for the business though! ”
“ Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but this is a great local teriyaki place!!! It is relatively inexpensive and good quality food! The family that owns this place is so kind and make you feel like a valued customer (: I got the chicken teriyaki. The chicken isn't overly saucy, but there's just enough teriyaki sauce to mix in with the rice! You get a very good portion size, and there will even be leftovers for the next day! Highly recommend the egg rolls as well! Crispy, crunchy but not oily!! Give this place a try! ”
