Great food as always. Would highly recommend in lake tapps area. Surprised this place doesn't have more reviews

TERRIBLE! Ordered $20.00 Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu Combo to go. Got home to a burned and over cooked mess. Hidden under the burnt Chicken Katsu was a black burnt pile of breading. The Katsu sauce in a small cup was just slightly doctored ketchup. No teriyaki sauce included. The chicken Teriyaki. was over cooked, chewy, and dry. At least the salad wasn't burnt. The place could use a good clean and spruce up. Never going back. read more

I agree with Cole 0 - this is my local teriyaki place, and it hits the spot when I want something and not want to drive super far to get it! The place is good. Nothing I've had blow me away, but I find the food tasty, consistently made, and never a long wait! read more

This is not a 2.6 star teriyaki place. It's pretty much the same quality as any run of the mill teriyaki restaurant. If it's close it's a great option but not worth driving an hour for. read more

Food is good and service is great. The owners are so sweet you can tell they love their business and customers! read more

Ichi Teriyaki 8 - Chinese Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Let me start out by saying the meal wasn't a 5 star meal. However, the 2.4 doesn't reflect the quality I received tonight so I have to help them out a little. The food was a 3.8 to 4.0. I've lived near this place for years. Never tried it, especially because I base my food decisions off of Yelp . My wife and kids wanted Teriyaki last minute and it was directly on my way home, so I decided to give it a shot. Also, with my quest for amazing Teriyaki through Yelp, ive found good Teriyaki but never anything so different that made me flip out with excitement. I ordered a chicken teriyaki with sauce on the side. I got my wife a stir fried vegetable with chicken (not really on the menu), and an order of gyoza. Maybe it was the low expectations, but the chicken wasn't dry, great grilled flavor and fresh. The Teriyaki sauce on the side was a little gelatinous but still tasted great. The stir fried vegetables with chicken wasn't amazing, pretty much a thinner Teriyaki sauce, but it wasn't terrible. A little too sweet for the healthier dish we were going for, but definitely edible. The gyozas were good as well, not quite as hot as I wanted but still a good crisp and good filling flavor. If you are looking for quick, not awful, generic Teriyaki, then I would recommend this place. Also, it was pretty hard to find a current menu anywhere online so I'm uploading that as well. read more

See all

3/20/25 I will be coming here more often! The front worker, she was very friendly and welcoming. She made sure i had plenty of napkins, asked if i needed extra chopsticks all of which i didnt even get the chance to bring up before she asked. She even gave me extra fortune cookies which is always a plus! The food was very tasty and was still very warm by the time i brought it back home. I did not need to wait excessively for the food. I typically dont ever dine in, but this place was very clean and wasnt super packed, so i will be dining in next time! Thank you for the wonderful service! :) read more

This is not the fanciest of places, being in a shopping center. We primarily get food to go. The food is very good, and service is fast. We have never had a problem with a meal from here. When we are in the mood for a quick teriyaki fix in the Lake Tapps area, this is where we go. read more

Should be call "Icky Teriyaki". Service poor, food most even mediocre, they nickel and dime you for every little thing, overpriced, owners act annoyed and are rude. How is this place still in business seriously? Don't people have higher standards? read more

Spicy chicken wasn't so spicy but it was good. Shrimp tempura was just fried shrimp dropped in a fry basket. combination short ribs and spicy chicken was good. Overall I've had better teriyaki I wouldn't say this was the worst I've ever had but I know it's something that is not the best I ever had. read more

I've been here at least half a dozen times in the short time that I've been in the city, and this place checks all the boxes for me. It's nearby, the food is reliably good, and service is quick and easy. I get the impression that the people who work here are family who don't take days off, so everyone complaining about the lady not smiling while serving them can step off. The portions are large, and they have rotating daily specials where you can get $1 off different combos. Im boring though, so I always get the pork, which is consistently delicious. My only complaint is that the water tastes like the tap water in Texas, but more often than not I opt to do take out, so that isn't an issue. I'll probably be here another half dozen times before the month is over. read more

RUDE, RUDE, RUDE! My husband ordered four things, two which were supposed to be CH5 (sweet-and-sour chicken). My husband and my two boys have ordered this for 20+ years. He gets home and it's beef and chicken teriyaki. I drove there to exchange it and she blamed my husband. I wasn't having it. I am done with crappy customer service. I told her there's so many other ways she could've handled this if she didn't want to say she's sorry, but she continued to say it was my husband's fault. I said you just lost a customer and I will be telling everybody not to come here, give me my money back. It's as if we are doing them a favor by going to their "restaurant." read more

Found eggshells inside of my chicken fried rice, otherwise the food was fine. I ordered the food from Door-dash so I did not see the service quality but I assume it's alright. Also didn't see inside of the resturant so I didn't see the "Ambiance" LOL. read more

Been to this establishment twice now the first time the people were super friendly, and I ordered the garlic chicken and it was not what I expected, but it was delicious. Decided to head back there today I walked in the place was empty other than one customer which was sitting at the table. I walked up to the counter to place my order, and the lady was ignoring me. Then, in a very irritated tone, the lady behind the counter looks at me from the other end and asked " Do you need help?" Stated that I would like to place an order to which she seemed very annoyed. I ordered the spare ribs, which was OK, but really left something to be desired. The meat was very very fatty and not very flavorful. It was served on a bed of what I believe is cabbage. Not what I expected for a $25 (21.99 + tax) I plan on going again to try something else because I like to support local businesses. My second visit did not leave me inspired to go back. read more

This place is right down the street from us. The food is ok but the service is down right awful. And I feel it's pretty pricey. When you order or go in it's very stoic and you hardly even get eye contact. read more

My only comments about this business are about the menu. I ordered takeout and used the menu here on yelp. When the cashier rung me up I mentioned that online the price is $9.69 for the beef. She says oh those are outdated prices. Isn't it a business is responsibility to update their yelp menu? It's kind of false advertising! I sure hope the Mongolian beef is worth $14.99 for one person. read more

I am a regular that will order for pick up... Always the best quality food and I appreciate the kindness I experience while picking up my lunch. The Gyoza is fabulous.... Never lets me down!! read more

The teriyaki chicken was great! The food was good, the prices are reasonable, the service was nice. Overall it's not a bad teriyaki chicken joint for the area. There's not much verity up in Lake Tapps and it's nice to have a place like this that isn't just burgers and pizza. read more

I ordered the teriyaki chicken and a side of gyoza to go. The chicken was juicy and delicious. The serving size was very large, enough for my mom and I and leftovers for lunch tomorrow! I have eaten here before and never been disappointed. I find it funny when people complain about the prices because everything is more expensive than it used to be how do you expect business to stay open if they don't raise their prices. I have no issues paying the prices at Ichi because I enjoy the food! read more

Ichi Teriyaki 8 - Not too bad, but The woman who served was very rude !! don't want to come back! - Chinese Near Me - Auburn, Washington

Overpriced! Asked for extra teriyaki sauce and it was old, came out in a clump. Asked for extra salad dressing, got an extra salad, no dressing. The sauce on the chicken tasted like barbecue. Will NEVER go back! read more

Fried rice seemed to be like the frozen kind you can buy in a grocery store. Chicken breast "pieces" were just thrown on top, not cooked in. I specifically asked for light cooking oil (the Bonney Lake Ichi always accommodates this for me), & it was like it was soaked in oil. The lady at the counter was not friendly, not really rude, but just didn't seem to care if she had customers, or not. I recommend the Ichi in Bonney Lake though! read more

Looks good but is super fatty and old tasting. Kinda expensive for being not so good...will not be returning. Only thing I liked was the bottle drink lol! read more

The Teriyaki chicken and Mongolian beef was soupy and tasteless. The front lady was very rude! Waste of $14!

Greasy, salty, nasty. With a side of evangelical Christian music blaring in the background. You can do much better for half the price anywhere that serves Asian food. Because this place really really sucks. Sometimes you pay so much for food that's so lousy you end up feeling like a chump. This was one of those times. read more

Don't really know how you mess up Teriyaki Chicken: lacked flavour, chicken was dry and extremely rubbery. Their "soup" is just egg, a couple pieces of corn, peas and carrots and water with pepper, it's terrible. The woman behind the counter is always on her phone and you feel that you're disturbing her. The whole time you're in there they are playing Spirit 105.3 (Christian radio) which I just couldn't handle and religion and politics are ways to deter customers. I was disappointed in Ichi Teriyaki! read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid and to this day they have not disappointed me. It's one of the last restaurants up here that still feels like the small town Lakeland used to be, in a good way. Don't complain it's not fine dining, it's not suppose to be. Great food, quick and easy. read more

They are so friendly every time I come here. The Beef Udon is delicious and perfect for a cold windy day! I also recommend the gyoza. The prices are reasonable. My kids love the orange chicken as well. Those are our go to items. read more

Seeing allot of complaints in the reviews.... I've eaten here several times with friends or grabbed something to go. Service is always pretty quick, food comes out within five minutes, portions are large (not extreme, but large), relatively clean, what more could you ask for? read more

Food is not good and it's greasy. Their fried rice is not fried rice. I gave them a second chance and I regret it. Not to mention the owner is super rude and looks miserable read more

High quality teriyaki! Come here all the time. I highly recommend the sweet and sour chicken

I liked this place when it first opened years ago but the service and food has tanked. The food was horrible the last few times. Tough overlooked teriyaki chicken that was probably sitting around. They always look slow. I wouldn't mind seeing new management. I finally gave up on this place. Go to Sushi Kanomi for great food in the Lakeland Town Center instead. read more

Can I give this place negative stars? The food at this place is disgusting! Mongolian beef is inedible. The sauces all taste horrible and it's very over priced for the quality and amount of food you get. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else for teriyaki cause this place ain't it. read more

My husband and I have been eating at this restaurant for several years. The last year has not been up to par. Tonight I ordered the yakisoba beef and chicken fried rice with two egg rolls. Nobody in the entire restaurant my food came up within 5 minutes. I actually thought that was a good thing till I got home. There was maybe six small slices of beef and is yakisoba and one piece of broccoli. Chicken fried rice was completely unflavored full. The chicken fried rice did have more chicken in it then the yakisoba had beef but it lacked everything else. Went for the egg rolls they were cold. I will not order from here again. They must have taken white rice fried it in a pan for 2 seconds through a couple green beans and corn in been through it on my plate with some chicken on top. I should have taken the time and drove to Sumner to eat at the Peking Garden read more

I keep reading about the lady behind the counter being mean, but she wasn't awful to me. She just seemed like a tired lady after a long day. My problem was I paid almost $20 for 2 smallish portions of food that I had to pick through for appealing parts. I had read the reviews about the food being bad, but I figured my husband and I aren't picky people, and it was still open at 7:30 so we tried it out. I got broccoli and beef, and he got chicken katsu. It was ready in 10 minutes for takeout as promised. The katsu had a strange breading on it I've never seen before on any other katsu (and I eat it a lot) that gave it a strange flavor, like they'd used panko with seasoning that wasn't meant for this dish. There wasn't much tonkatsu sauce, but the rice was fine. My broccoli and carrots were thin and limp like they'd been cooking too long (but it was less than 10 minutes from the time I ordered), but they were all I ended up eating of the dish because the beef was really not good. Each piece had kind of a thick slimy brown sauce on it, which I realized from the taste was way too much flour. The sauce tasted like flour too, but the beef was just covered in it. The rice was fine, except for where it was soaked in the sauce at the bottom! We finished eating what we could and said, "Well, now we know." We're going to drive a little further to find something better next time. read more

I've been coming this restaurant over 15 years food is always good also services are If I want teriyaki l won't go any other places but this one ^^ read more

Rude, Rude, Rude!!! This place has average food but I won't be going back ever again because of the witch up front. I have been here many times over the years and she is always the same and tonight was the worst and the last for me. Never a thank you and always a rude look with terrible nonexistent service . And it's just not me that says this about her. All of my friends have the same experience. I feel bad for her kitchen staff, if she treats her customers this way, her kitchen staff must be chained in the back to work for her. Dirty, dated place. Had to get my own plastic fork, water and no soup was ever bought to us and others around us were being offered it. read more

(Please read) I've been to this place about 3 times, all of my expressions where an unwelcome feeling. I didn't think much of it till this last time. The lady working the front of the house walked up to me and rudely said that the water was for everyone (since I had filled my cup up all the way of water) then walked away before I could say anything. This review isn't about the food quality or the price, just about values and characters and treating everybody the same. read more

I can't say I've ever been disappointed here...just never overly impressed either. Friendly staff & quick food. But feel like its every other teriyaki place out there. Nothing bad to say, nothing great to rave about. read more

We have only been here once, mostly because the bad reviews kept us from trying it and am glad to report, our experience was great! They lady at the front counter was very pleasant when she took our order, got our food quickly, and it tasted great. Pretty standard chicken teriyaki, hubby got the Mongolian beef, he wished it was spicy but was still pleased and both of us were very satisfied with the portion sizes! We will be back. read more
