Chicken portion
Gordon K.

I work in the area and this is a weekly visit for me for lunch. Used to be a time, many years ago, where Seattle had an amazing Teriyaki scene with Nasai and Toshis. For $6 you could get a full meal in the U-District. Obviously those days are gone and I'm now an Eastsider - mostly because I like parking and getting to where I'm driving. For those craving consistently solid Teriyaki Kumae and her husband run this place and do it right. I personally don't see an issue with two portions of chicken and a bed of rice with salad and it's quick, convenient, and tasty. If you're looking for ambience and table service, go elsewhere. The best part of this is the Hole-in-the-wall, GreasySpoon vibe.

Just a good old freshly made salad with some very very tasty homemade dressing
SM D.

This is the best Teriyaki around the area and rest assured you will consistently get nothing less than the bestest fresh ingredients and that includes their absolutely beautifully made salads! I've been in the food business for over 35 years and I have never ever had such delicious freshly made salad! I mean a salad.....right ?! Something so small and seamingly so simple is consistently made fresh for EVERY ORDER. Mrs. Lee and her husband really know what they are doing and In my opinion that is why they remain a success. *** Give them a break in the hot summer months as that kitchen is very small and it gets extremely hot back there-take it from someone who knows there way around a kitchen.

This isn't $30 fried rice ... and they charge for any sauce even hot sauce don't go here
Andre K.

I got charged $30 for fried rice and a soda. Hot sauce isn't free like any other restaurant. Don't go here they play with the price and stereotype

Naveed S.

They charged me full price but said they couldn't provide the salad cuz they ran out for several days now. I asked why are you charging full price, atleast offer a drink as a replacement and they said no. So I had already paid full price for 2/3rd of a meal. Good food. Super Stingy service. And they charge 50 cents extra for literally like a tinnnny cup of sauce.

Spicy Chicken with egg rolls

This was a restaurant that I used to come a lot when I was a kid. My friends and I usually would bicker about where to go, but when someone mentions this place, we usually end up going here. The portion size was generous, the cost was reasonable, and most importantly the food was delicious. Jump to now and I believe the owners have changed since, but the atmosphere of the place hasn't and I'm glad to say that the quality of the food has not changed. Usually when I order spicy chicken from other places, sometimes the chicken gets really burnt or there's a harsh bitter after taste with the spiciness. Fortunately, I got that spiciness that I like, but the tanginess from the sauce and the chicken wasn't burnt which made a combination of a nice flavour combo in my mouth. As a change of pace I got the egg rolls in comparison to the gyoza that I usually order and it has a nice crunch on the exterior and is dense with lots of veggies inside. I'm more of a fan favorite of the gyoza, but it could be that I'm just not used to the egg rolls here. If you haven't tried this place, I would definitely recommend trying it out. I'm happy to say it was my go to and will still continue to be my go to.

Teriyaki Shrimp
Derrick G.

There are countless teriyaki restaurants in the Seattle area, so I decided to try one. This restaurant is a local restaurant with good food and service. I ordered the teriyaki shrimp and pork yakisoba, both entrees tasted very good. The shrimp were slightly overcooked but the flavor was good, the yakisoba was delicious and came with a lot of meat and vegetables. Overall, this was a good dinning experience.

This small business is located in an almost ghost town area of Redmond, yet it is still open, providing food like Normal :) We came in to order take out and got the spicy garlic chicken teriyaki and the broccoli tofu dish. The flavors was pretty unique as it's not the same as other teriyaki joint. The chicken definitely had both spicy and garlicy taste and it was balanced. The chicken was pretty tender as well. The sauce in the broccoli tofu dish was awesome, it was flavorful and went well with everything. Price and portion was good. I asked for mine to have no rice, they basically gave me a whole container of meat in it. The main focus here though is the service. The lady made a barrier between us and her to ensure we were at least 6ft away. Any payment was made by a box. And we were provided with gloves to sign the receipt. I never seen a restaurant took so much effort in making sure it was a clean and safe environment. Kudos to them!!!!

They only served food in plastic containers instead of how they are supposed to serve it in a plate to customers. The environment looks kinda run down, the portion is a bit low, bigger portion would of been nice

Jumbo Chicken Teriyaki
Latifa S.

Teriyaki binge month! I had a teriyaki craving this month and sent me all over town looking for a new favorite. My old favorite place went out of business, victim of coivd. Sad! This place came highly recommended from yelp with all the reviews. 5 stars and 4 stars rave/ recent reviews. So I came! I got their jumbo chicken teriyaki. Came with salad. Standard. The chicken wasn't bad but it was covered in so much sauce. Sweet sauce. Way too much sauce for me. Also had peanuty taste. Not sure if they use peanut oil. Its just very peanuty. I didn't have peanut allergy so it was fine. Chicken itself was also a ok. A little dry. Wasnt crazy about the meat either. verall, it was underwhelming. Maybe I came at an off time. It was in between meal time.

Teriyaki Salmon Teriyaki
Laiha C.

Quite happy with our lunchtime teriyaki today. We ordered over the phone just after opening at 10:30. Our food was ready in 15 which is great. Hubby got jumbo chicken teriyaki and I got teriyaki salmon. He really enjoyed his and I enjoyed mine. The salmon looked different than any I've ever had, but thankfully that didn't change the taste for me. I do wish they gave more teriyaki sauce on the side, but most places don't. I also got a side of miso which I liked, but wish it was a bit stronger. Finally, the salad dressing was very interesting. Very thick and sweeter than I am used to. I enjoyed it though. This is so close to home and I'm willing to pay the higher prices to know I am getting something good.

Just had lunch at Cho Dang Tofu restaurant and it was such a great time! Friendly, attentive staff,…read moredelicious food and fun atmosphere. When we first sat down, we were given hot barely tea. For food, I ordered the mixed (seafood + beef) tofu soup which came with 4 assorted ban chan, fried fish and ceramic pot white rice. Note: there's peas on the rice. My husband ordered the combo tofu soup + protein entree, which he chose beef tofu soup and bulgogi (thinly sliced marinated beef) and it was delicious! We shared the entree since it was pretty large size. The combo also came with side dishes, rice and fried fish. It was nicely grilled, easy to eat with small bones. Ban chan was pretty unlimited with staff constantly walking around to check in and make sure you have enough side dishes to enjoy with your meal. I have to note, the service is incredible! I couldn't have had a better lunch experience than my first time at Cho Dang. Will be back soon and highly recommend to friends :)

The spice level was at spicy, but it wasn't an unbearable spicy. Just the right amount. Their tofu stews come with banchan that included zucchini, fish cake, bean sprouts, and Kimchee. It also came with a stone pot rice and a fried fish. Overall, the food was delicious and service was quick and attentive. They served us barley tea to start with and continuously checked to make sure everything was good. The layout of the restaurant itself is very spacious and clean. It's a very comfy restaurant and the food items pair well especially when it's cold and raining outside. Would highly recommend trying this place out.

Paik's Noodle is a Korean Chinese food chain with numerous locations nationwide. I delayed going…read morethere for a long time since our area has good local restaurants serving Korean Chinese food. I finally decided to give them a try. The place is roomy with very grey walls and very red signs, a bit empty when we went. Service was friendly. Ordering is done at the counter, and they bring the food to you. Overall, the food is just ok. Trusted foodie friends gave the same opinion. We won't be returning. The Food: Sweet & Sour Pork, $19.45 - 3 Stars Fried pork with sweet and sour sauce is one of the popular Korean Chinese food dishes. Theirs is ok. The pork piece inside is a skinny strip of meat, visible in photos. A bit chewy. Ok enough but not noteworthy. Soontofu Jjamppong, $19.45 - 2.5 Stars This is their spicy noodle soup (pork, squid, mussels, vegetables) with soft tofu added. The menu/online photo shows broth over the tofu, and I thought the tofu is cooked with the broth. I love soft tofu soup and decided to try it. Nope. My photo shows the tofu is added as a topping at the end, cold, with some peppers on top. What a disappointment. The rest of it was as expected. Beef Jjamppong, $17.45 - 2 Stars Beef and vegetables noodle soup in beef broth. Their online photo looks a lot more scrumptious with a pile of beef on top. My photo is a mixed pile of everything. The beef wasn't tender. The broth isn't particularly beef. Hubby was annoyed. The food in the restaurant vs the food photos online is like fast food hamburger photos. What we receive does not look like the photo even when dining in. I debated on giving them 2 Stars but decided to be nice and rounded up instead.

It is always clean, service is warm and friendly, and food is authentic as it can get on the eastside. They did flip flop a bit with their menu for a while, it seemed they were trying to figure out who they were catering to, and the menu unfortunately did become more American patrons oriented at the cost of eliminating hard-to-find authentic recipes they used to have. I hope they stay true to making their own broth and using quality ingredients!

Bon is located in the same plaza as H-Mart and so they have a shared parking lot or you could walk over from Redmond Town Center which is just a block away. The inside is surprisingly large with at least twenty tables, which is bigger than most Korean restaurants that I've seen on the Eastside. At 11:45am on a Saturday, my group of three had no problem getting a table. Their menu is extensive and has all the Korean food classics including seafood pancake, soondubu (stone pot tofu soup), galbi jjim (beef stew), Toppokki, bibimbap, and cold noodles (spicy and non-spicy versions). Their entrees are around $20 each, but some larger hot pot dishes (meant for 2-3 people) can be up to $70. I ordered the BULGOGI BIBIMBAP (~$24). Unfortunately they don't serve stone pot Bibimbap here, but the portions are large and beautifully presented. My dish came with plenty of fresh vegetables- pickled carrots and cucumbers, sesame bean sprouts, daikon kimchi, lettuce, and marinated black mushrooms (which I've never had in Bibimbap before but was soooo good) on top a bed of fluffy white rice! The egg was cooked perfectly over easy and the meat was marinated well too- I do wish the dish came with more meat though. They give you your typical sweet and spicy gochujang red sauce on the side as well as white vinegar and mustard sauce for added flavor. Service was fantastic and you get complimentary hot tea and ban chan (which are refillable). The ban chan included cucumber kimchi, daikon kimchi, sesame bean sprouts, kimchi, fish cake, and sesame choy. All employees were very friendly and made you feel at home. The inside is clean, but the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that they have an Okay health rating and not a Good or Excellent health rating. I didn't look up the exact violations, but it would be great to see an improvement in score. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

First, I'd like to start by saying, there was nothing wrong with my time or food here at K-street…read moreK-BBQ. We ordered the brisket and kings ribs. I can say the meat looked like high quality and tasted great! The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because I personally wasn't a huge fan of the banchan (side dishes) that were offered. There was salad, that had like the full bottom parts of lettuce in it, there was onions in some kind of sauce, kimchi, just not a lot of things I personally like to eat. I would say their banchan definitely leans more towards Asian clientel, so if you go with someone who is a picky eater or not super familiar with asian/korean food, then just be aware of that I'd say. Overall though, I would say come here for the high quality meat! The service was good, but personally, I just won't be returning. I feel like there are other K-BBQ places that meet my taste buds more than this place.

Their menu may not have an all-you-can-eat option, however the serving portions and variety are more than enough. This KBBQ is located in the Redmond Town Center.

We opted for the small mix combo which had the prime ribeye, beef brisket, king prime short ribs, la seasoned ribs, beef tail flap, pork belly, pork jowl, pork shoulder, and seasoned boneless short ribs. We also ordered a bottle of soju to share. The meats were beautifully presented. They also served an array of banchans including onion salad and lettuce. Service was amazing. Our server always checked in and offered to change our grill pan. Pricing was on par for the meat quality and amount that came with our order. We even ended up with a couple to-go boxes.
