I was originally bummed that the beautiful and artful building was going to be a teriyaki joint. But then.....after waiting in line on opening night and listening to the charismatic and friendly owner introduce himself and befriend is new patrons, I started to get excited. When my dish of chicken and greens came, it was the amazing teriyaki type dish I've had. I am a forever fan and choose to eat hear often. The food is fresh, flavorful, interesting, and delicious. I can't recommend eating here enough. Absolutely wonderful food. read more

Meh, spending $16 for the steak teriyaki wasn't worth it in my opinion, only 5 little pieces of steak which was propped up by a lot of rice. The Mac salad was decent though. The employees inside were friendly and jamming out to music. I live nearby and may give Grillbird another try. read more

Grillbird is doing their vision of teriyaki and it's nice. Right on. I hope they do very well. I recommend the chicken or the steak teriyaki. The pork wasn't super fabulous. The macaroni salad is a nice touch. read more

Literally can't say you are a halal restaurant if you are serving and cooking pork out of the same kitchen. UPDATE: As a Muslim you don't need to explain to me the logistics of purchasing Halal meat because as I've said before cooking and preparing pork which is not only a non-Halal meat a forbidden meat completely defeats the purpose of preparing Halal meat in the same kitchen. to sell and to cook meats in the same area are two different things and I will be reporting this the the Washington Muslim Association read more

It's really rare that I dislike everything that I've ordered from a restaurant, but I really disliked everything. I got the sesame chicken with rice, egg rolls and their noodles. I ate one egg roll, had a couple of bites of the chicken and a couple of bites of the noodles before throwing everything in the compost. Breaks my heart to waste food like that, but I just couldn't do it. The chicken was overly fried - very little meat inside the fried shell. The sesame sauce was so overwhelming and salty, I couldn't stomach it. The egg rolls were soggy. And the noodles just had no flavor. I'm really disappointed to have not only wasted my money, but the food as well. Maybe this was an off night, but I won't be ordering from here again. read more

A wonderful place, staffed by wonderful people. I got take out (obvi...) and the chicken and Pot Roast were amazing. The rice is perfectly done and the Mac salad is top-notch. Will definitely be returning. read more

It's rare for me to choose a new place for some delivery food. It often ends up not hitting the spot when I'm really hungry. This was *not* the case for grillbird. Every thing was incredible. I ordered chicken katsu, sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken, cucumber salad, Mac salad, cabbage salad and one of each sauce. I will absolutely order from here again. The portions were sizable, the food was presented beautifully in nice packaging and I loved every part of every dish. If you're like me and have a hard time trying out something new, give it a try! I also called to ask about my dairy allergy and they said only the nori ranch contains any dairy at all! So super friendly for people with gluten or dairy intolerance. They had many options. read more

Have to say that we were rather disappointed. Ordered a chicken teriyaki, a chicken and pork combo, and a side of greens. The pork was fine: tender, medium juicy, but basically tasted like any other braised pork shoulder. If it wasn't for the sauce that came on the side, I wouldn't have thought it to be teriyaki at all. The greens were actually pretty good. Tender and flavorful, if maybe a tad oily. Mixing them in with rice is the way to go to soak up some of the oil. However, the big problem was the chicken. Both orders had chicken that was tough, stringy, and super dry. Based on others reviews, it seems like that we might be the outlier, but wow that was bad. And it wasn't like the place was really busy. At 4:00 in the afternoon, there was only a handful of people in there. We might give them another try, but there are a couple of other West Seattle teriyaki places that have very good chicken and we're likely to go there first. read more

We emailed in for take away and everything about it was super simple and super tasty! They were slammed and handled it with the professionalism and thoughtfulness other restaurants could learn from. Everything we tried was very tasty, perfect portions and very affordable. Looking forward to returning to try more. read more

Super tasty! Moist chicken. Excellent cucumber and cabbage salad. Delightfully surprised!

Yumm!!! Above-average teriyaki for sure! Mack salad is way better than the competitorsYum too! Ordered from here a few times now and recently picked it up myself and was able to eat immediately, so fresh and deliscious. Highly recommend. read more

Holy!!!!! This is some good food. Wow. I'm literally going through a breakup, so I haven't eaten in a day or so. Finally felt like today was the day I need some substance, so I decided to finally try this place and man... I'm so happy. The comments about the chicken being JUICY and so perfectly seasoned are NOT dramatic. Even my top 10 places give me dry chicken from time to time. This was not the case. Also!!! I asked for soy sauce (NOT needed, it's so good) and they were out and offered me an extra sauce! Very kind, love some good customer service. They say time heals a broken heart, but after this... starting to think maybe teriyaki helps too! :) read more

Everything has SO MUCH FLAVOR. I wanted to use their dipping sauces on everything. The mustard sauce is the best, tastes so good on the katsu and spring rolls. Sooo delicious, plan to go back ASAP! read more

Fabulous neighborhood restaurant. Love their chicken and sauces. Really happy they added beets and spicy cucumber as side alternates- really tasty. Lots of food and well done and made for take out. read more

First time there, gets my food wrong despite going out of my way to be super clear when ordering. Listening to the customer clearly isn't a priority. Long wait, overpriced mediocre food to boot. Never going back read more

Always on point and in. The rare event something isn't perfect, Matt the owners, wants to know about it and will always make it right. Can't get enough of this place and I've been eating here once a week since it opened. So stoked on veggie teriyaki options too. read more

Grillbird is a really elevated take on Teriyaki that I can't stop craving. I've been very happy with the pork teriyaki & chicken katsu combo I usually get. The egg rolls have a great flakey and crunchy wrap with fresh flavorful filling.. and like everything I've gotten here that is fried, it isn't very oily and heavy. The salad is a great healthier option that always has fresh green lettuce and a tasty dressing as well. I also can't get enough of the Mac salad. The service has been great as well.. I highly recommend this food read more

We do teriyaki at least once every other week for weeknight dinner. So I was naturally super excited to see they had protein options on their menu other than the usual chicken, pork, beef offerings. I had my eyes set on the Ebi Katsu Sando and I was counting down the minutes to get home and try this delicious sounding burger-wich. The first bite was a smack in the face with a horse lick sized sodium bomb. It was so salty!! But maybe it was a bad bite? The katsu had that satisfying crunchy bite to want to give it another go. So I took a big swig of soda and bit in again.. ughh. Definitely should not have done that. Inedibly salty I got heartburn after. It was thrown out and was I was left hungry and very disappointed. Just okay cabbage slaw did not make things better. The order of beef sukiyaki was filled with about a third meat of the entire order. Upgraded from 2 stars to 3 stars for cleanliness, covid precautions, service. Food was not something I would care to try again. read more

Oh my gosh, this was the best teriyaki I've had in years! The food was perfect and obviously made with care and love. My teriyaki pork had a grilled pineapple in it, yum! Everything was tender and had great grilled flavor. It came with rice AND Mac salad! My order was ready right on time and it was so well organized, I'm super happy with all of it. I also discovered that there are loyalty rewards, sweet! read more

Horrible I paid almost 60.00 for salmon and chicken, the staff said how good it was and normally a line that we would normally have to wait because they are so good. So today was are lucky day no line, well, the salmon they gave us was burnt, horrible!! How can a restaurant serve burnt food !! I mean the hole bottom of the salmon was absolutely black they didn't even try to scrape off the burnt skin. The chicken was blah, don't waste your money here not worth the experience, never going back. read more

Teriyaki chicken & Katsu combo; and the Teriyaki Pork was all delicious. Fresh, lots of flavor - great takeout.

Loved this place. High quality and I've started to get picky on chicken. No more dry, heavily flavored chicken grilled to black edges that makes the flavor taste like char. This place may be take out but it has excellent quality meat and flavor read more

tried their sesame chicken for lunch and it was seriously amazing. forget all the other teriyaki places in west seattle. grillbird has it figured out. highly recommended.....actually just decided I'm going to grillbird for dinner today too! read more

Great food as usual. Spring rolls still my favorite! Kudos to the person at the front counter who brought my order out to me! I've ordered in the past and they are often quicker than the Grubhub estimate and the food can be cold by the time you get there. He was nice enough to come find me! Great service! read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Parker today and he is a hardworking man trying to effectively grow his business! I tried the teriyaki chicken and katsu combo and it was delicious! They use a very high quality of chicken and you can taste the difference! I'm looking forward to trying other menu items in the future! read more

Went for takeout and what a meal! I ordered the sesame chicken and it was ridiculously good. Perfectly seasoned, with a side of greens that did not disappoint. My order was ready right on time and was rushed out to me with a smile and kind words from the owner. Happy to support this place during these crazy times! read more

Chicken katsu isn't that good, teriyaki taste like any other one, and the tofu yakisoba is my vegetarian friends favorite.

good food and better service. This place has surpassed it's expectations without losing food quality nor taste. Must order 45 minutes in advance online. It's really good! read more

my family is from Hawaii so it was nice to find a place that could prepare a very yummy plate lunch!

Got takeout on their second day in business. I enjoyed watching their progress getting ready to open and love the life it brings to the corner. I drove by on opening day and saw the owner taking a picture of his daughter outside - so much pride on both their faces! We had the chicken teriyaki with greens and it was amazing. read more

This place is awesome!! They're always super friendly and willing to make substitutions without any hassle. The teriyaki sauce is unique and very delicious! They are vegan friendly(for my wife). I always get the chicken or chicken & Katsu. The portions are huge and always delicious! If you haven't been, I would highly recommend! Some of the best local teriyaki. read more

The place appears tidy and well organized. The presentation of boxed entrees is excellent, very appealing, and the portions are substantial. Staff, well the tall younger gentleman was very professional and attractive. I ordered 3 of their signature teriyaki chicken boxes and 1 chicken Katsu box to go. The chicken was well marinated and flavorful, however I would ask them to separate the sauce in the future which I found overwhelmingly sweet. I would love them to consider a wild salmon entree (sauce on the side) at a market price. The cleanliness and boxed presentation of food items was exceptional. The teriyaki sauce too sweet and overwhelming imho. Portions are generous and the price point very reasonable. I will return to try other entrees. It's a great addition to the takeaway scene here in West Seattle. Wish they were closer proximity, at Alki beach, they would do well. Thank you. read more

The food here is amazing! I never knew how good teriyaki could be. This place is addicting! Beware, once you try the food here you'll be going back over and over again. read more

I'm so sad to do this but just a suggestion. Maybe busy nights turn off delivery apps? I ordered through uber pick-up and it quoted 15-20 mins, I've now been waiting over an hour. I totally understand being busy but the workers seem highly stressed and to much work for the amount of orders coming in. I will continue to order from here because you guys rock, but the quoting 15 mins and waiting over an hour now is a little disappointing. read more

Grillbird is top notch! The food is great, the staff is very friendly, and my half a dozen take-out orders have always been available exactly on time (REALLY precise timing.. almost scary). read more

I was impressed with the food we picked up tonight. The flavors were really distinctive - not the same old teriyaki you can get anywhere. We got the spicy versions of chicken and tofu, and they had a lot of flavor, while not being super hot. The noodles were surprisingly good too. Nice balanced dinner. We will be back! read more

I will give them another try. Portion was ok sized and chicken looked good quality but it was very bland! It definitely needs improvement in flavor department. Wasn't properly salted or teriyaki enough. Salad dressing was fine. read more

The word is already out on this spot as there was a big line. I found out quickly that is was for a good reason. Top notch teriyaki and Mac salad. Also the garlic fried rice was on point. I'll be back! read more

The meat in this restaurant is very crisp, very delicious and very fresh. I often go to this restaurant in the future

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. The chicken katsu was done right and the hawaiian mac is legit. The only thing I didn't like was the egg rolls and the sweet n sour sauce - egg rolls were terrible and the sauce look and tasted like ketchup. read more
