Oh my god! I have to say that this is a good place to have lunch or dinner! Everything I had ordered is just so good. Services are awesome! Also, I love their location. Since they are a little away from the university way, seems like it won't be crowded during regular time. I was there to try the waffle supreme last time, but so sad they were out of it. However, they have yummy teriyaki and takoyaki. I'm sure I'll be back there next time!!! read more

Went to dinner here with my group of friends from Oregon last Sunday. We called ahead to see if we could do a reservation last minute since we saw this place had really good reviews. I told my friends that if this place lives up to its reviews that I will write my review for them right away and not wait for months like I usually do.. Well I'm writing a review right now so... Yes! It did live up to its 4.5 stars. We came in and was greeted right away by their wait staff. They were really nice, and our wait wasn't too long. We were a group of 12 so it was a good idea that we called. We were seated after two other parties left, and got our waters and drinks right away. The only wait time we had was getting our orders taken, but it's understandable since a few smaller groups came in right after us. I ordered the lychee martini which was delicious! If you likely fruity drinks this one is for you. The only thing is you can taste the alcohol more in this drink than other fruity martinis. Entrée: I shared the Galbi entrée with my friend since we read that the portions were really big. We got white rice and fries with our entrée. I ordered a spam mushubi and salad on the side because I like having veggies in my meals, and I l just likespam mushubi. My boyfriend ordered their mochiko chicken, and a few of my other f friends ordered their Katsu chicken and yakisoba. Everything was very good, and portion sizes were quite generous. I'm glad I shared the galbi. Of course hands down best dish goes to the mochiko chicken though. Katsu chicken was reallt good to. I'm glad I got to eat both chicken dishes and the galbi. It was a well rounded meal. I will definately come back here again when I am in seattle :) read more

*Food was OK, not amazing but not awful *The hip hop beats blaring was an interesting vibe, lots of F Words and N Words, didn't really get me in the mood for a relaxing meal *Service was spotty and it wasn't busy but they have an interesting menu read more

I love love love this place ! Customer service is lacking when they are busy but thats understandable to a certain point. When they arent busy the staff is always ready to help you ~ The portions are extremely large and the food options are good considering they have korean food, japanese food, and hawaiian food . Prices are good considering the amount of food you get (usually 1 entree + choice of 2 sides (the fries are DELICIOUS)) . One thing i noticed was that they increased the price of bulgogi to $18 -- i could get it elsewhere for around $12 but I really love coming to itadakimasu for the atmosphere so I'm willing to pay the few extra dollars . read more

Itadakimasu - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great weekday lunch spot. Very large portions of delicious Asian-food. I ordered the squid vegetable stir fry on udon noodles which was $18, but they give you enough food for two meals! Their lunch special of the day was chicken katzu with gyoza for only $10, which comes with two sides. Many of their entrees comes with one or two sides - the side options include white rice, brown rice, french fries, salad, miso soup, and fried egg. I absolutely recommend coming here for a no frills casual lunch. Just good food for cheap! This is in an area of U-District that is easy to park at (across the street from the Safeway). They accept credit cards. They are not "on it" with the service, but that would be my only complaint. read more

I was shocked that I have lived in this area for five years now and I just discovered this place! I decided to finally give it a try on a Monday afternoon before a movie at Sundance. The place was totally empty except for one guy at the bar, who I'm pretty sure was either the owner or another employee not on the clock yet. The restaurant is very clean and in great condition. I ordered the Mochiko Chicken appetizer and the Teriyaki Chicken. The reviews for the mochiko chicken on Yelp were highly praised, so I knew that was a must-try. I liked how crisp it was on the outside yet still tender on the inside. The sweetness of the breading definitely threw me off. It's not bad, but I wouldn't want an entire meal of it. I need more balance of sweets and savories. I found the teriyaki chicken to be a very solid meal. It had a great flavor profile, and like others say, the portions are very generous. read more

I came here because I had a hankering for Korean tofu soup. Their version of Korean tofu soup called Kim-chi Jjigae comes with spam. I thought that was interesting. It was pretty flavorful and I enjoyed it all around. It came with two sides so I ordered brown rice and a fried egg. It is not your regular Korean tofu soup presentation with multiple Korean sides like fish cakes or spicy radish, so do not expect that. My bf ordered the bulgogi with white rice and a fried egg. I tried the bulgogi and it was pretty tasty. It was not bland nor dry. Overall, I would come back. It has a hip vibe and atmosphere for college students. There is also a bar here and daily specials. read more

With so many restaurant options near UW, this is one of my new favorite places in the U-district. It's basically a teriyaki joint, but with a twist. It has tasty food, reasonable prices, and generous portions - what more can you ask for? A single entree can definitely be split between 2 people. As for the environment, it's much more trendier than your typical teriyaki place and even has a bar. I tried the mochiko chicken and beef bulgolgi with a side of fries, miso soup, and brown rice when I went here a few weeks ago. I love that many of the dishes here you get to choose two sides (which again, are very large portions). The mochiko chicken is so frickin' good. Do yourself a favor and try it at least once! I couldn't stop eating it after the first bite. As for the beef bulgolgi, it was served nicely on a hot platter. It was good, but I thought it could have had a bolder flavor. read more

My favorite place to grab some teriyaki! Service is great, the food is fresh, the price is right - what's not to like?! The portions are huge and their menu is super easy to read with plenty of Japanese / Hawaiian options. Most entrees and combos come with 1 or 2 sides, which is an awesome way to customize your order. My go-to is the chicken katsu - and I love that I can get a combo with gyoza for just 50 cents more. The breading is perfectly crisp with nice flavor and the sauce is on point to say the least. I've only ever ordered to go during lunch, but would definitely dine-in if I were ever in the area crazing some yaki or katsu! read more

I like the food, I order the chicken fried rice and these fried chicken thighs. All the food is fresh and you can see them cooking it. They give you large portions, which is good for people like me who like to have a snack late at night. The staff is nice, and allow you to take your time esp. if it's your first time. It's affordable and has a cool bar in it as well. read more

I found this place a couple weeks ago here on Yelp. Had to try it out. Absolutely amazing menu. There's not a single thing that I've tried and I wouldn't recommend. The portions are large and affordable. Everything is super fresh and tasty. And the staff is very friendly. Your order is ready quickly even when they're busy. read more

This place could have been easy to miss because of the surrounding construction, but if you're patient (and have your gps working hard), then the journey is not too difficult. I entered around lunch time on a Friday afternoon, and was not surprised to see very few other guests. I was even allowed to choose my seat, so I sat near the window and enjoyed the views of Safeway across the street. (It was still a beautiful day outside though, so the sun was shining nicely) The menu was a little overwhelming at first because there were so many words and no distractions (like pictures), but a glance at the "specials" board helped me finalize my meal selection. I decided to go with the chicken katsu and gyoza combo that is served with 2 sides. At first I wanted a salad and miso soup, but the waiter actually suggested I get rice instead with the entree I ordered, and I appreciated his advice when I actually started eating my meal. The star of the show was definitely the chicken katsu. Flavorful, juicy, and not at all greasy, the chicken was just so much more than I expected. Paired with a tasty sauce, and the rice, I was so very pleased. The salad was served with a somewhat sweet dressing, and the coolness went well with my quite warm meal. The only reason I am giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because I did not care too much for the gyoza. I did not feel anything special from it, but I did appreciate the crispiness of the shell on these dumplings. Now the taste was not bad, just not outstanding either. Very yummy fusion restaurant, and I would be quite interested to try some of their unique cocktail creations if I were to visit again, read more

Itadakimasu - Crunchy and delicious Chicken katsu served with gyoza and rice. - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Located in the U-district (across the street from Safeway on Brooklyn Ave) is Itadakimasu, a family-owned Korean/Japanese/Hawaiian restaurant. This place serves delicious and well known food to those regions in HUGE portions. The restaurant is small but the ambiance is nice. Hawaiian music plays in the background. We arrived around 5pm and was seated promptly in a table of our choice. We chose the booth so our sleeping daughter could lay down. Despite the evening rush pouring in, we were able to place our orders and get for food brought out quickly. Can never go wrong with the beef bulgogi and the mochiko chicken. Both orders come with two sides. We got rice and French fries with our orders. Nori (dried seaweed) is sprinkled on top of the French fries which adds a nice hint of flavor. The food came out hot and steaming; everything is made fresh to order. Mike, the owner, is very friendly and came out to our table to see how everything tasted. He greets his customers and makes their experience memorable. The restaurant and bathroom are kept clean. The atmosphere is inviting. The food is delicious. I would recommend Itadakimasu again and again. read more

Favorite place for mochiko chicken, great portions. They also sell their salad dressing and teriyaki sauce, these have become staples in our home! read more

I've been to the newly-opened Itadakimasu three times now. Their bulgogi (both spicy pork and beef) is fantastic. I've tried their curry chicken katsu and sampled some of their other dishes and am disappointed. The curry katsu was VERY bland. The restaurant had highlighted the dish as their evening special and I figured I'd give it a go-- I can't recommend it. Serving size is great. You get enough to eat your fill and take some home for later. The side dishes are also a nice touch. I recommend their fries. The waitstaff has always been pleasant, though it's a fairly small place and they have trouble getting all the dishes out in a timely fashion. I went with a group of 8-10 people and there was a 15 minute delay between when the first person and last person got their food. All in all a decent place to eat, but not without its flaws. read more

Terrible, ordered a beef teriyaki plate and the beef was extremely undercooked. My wife's chicken was undercooked. Tasted like old gamy meat that had been sitting in a bucket waiting to be cooked. When I told the gentlemen with long curly blonde hair I don't want to pay for this because of the outcome his response was, I'm sorry there's nothing I can do for you..." Never coming back here. If you want quick and crappy food then go, but be aware they don't care about their food output nor their customers. read more

I was a little skeptical of another teriyaki-ish joint opening up the in the U-district and also skeptical of all the near perfect reviews of this place but overall I would have to say that our dining experience was really good here. The portions are HUGE and satisfying (warning: the type of food they serve necessitates a long nap afterwards). I love how you get to choose from different sides (depending on what entree you pick). My favorite entree out of the 5 that we ordered in our party was the tempura and my favorite side were the fries (I love fried foods!). I like how you don't have to pay extra for brown rice. The service was nice, probably better than most places near the U-District and the prices were very reasonable. If the restaurant continues to be consistent in their quality of food and service, I will definitely continue to come here. read more

The Mochiko chicken is my favorite item on their menu, the teriyaki is not bad either people! Their portions are quite generous, enough for 2 people. The staff is always friendly and helpful when I go there. If you live by the U district, you most definitely need to stop and check out this place. read more

Came here quite awhile ago but remember it clearly. Lovely interior and bar. The seating was perfect for our abnormally large group of people ~7. Food was appreciated all around and servers were accommodating to our requests. Not 5 stars because they were completely out of certain menu items(big let down for many) and their vegetarian options were really limited. But everything everyone ended up with in the end was super! read more

I've only gotten takeout here but their mochiko chicken is the bomb! Just the perfect crunchiness. The only thing it needed was some sort of sauce to kick it up a notch! The spam masubi is pretty good and I like how most of their dishes are huge come with sides. The people who work there are also really friendly so check it out people. read more

Good portions and very tasty. It's nice that the entrees come with sides. Very friendly and attentive staff too.

Seriously love this restaurant, usually order pick up and it's always hot enough that by the time we get home it's perfect temperature to eat! We love the short ribs, beef, and chicken the sauce is just sweet enough and so delicious. The service is wonderful, sufficient and nice, keep up the great work! read more

Stopped by yesterday night and placed a to-go order to bring to my friend whom I was visiting. Never heard of the place, but my sister suggested it. My friend and I agreed because we liked what we saw on the menu. The order: Mochiko Chicken w/ Rice and Egg Chicken Katsu w/ Rice and Salad Spicy Pork Bulgogi w/ Rice and Salad Gyoza Spam Musubi I had the Spicy Pork Bulgogi and it was NOM NOM NOM. The salad dressing was BOMB. I can't really speak for everyone else's order, but from what they said.. it was pretty good. Aside from the food, the location is awesome. Easy to access since it's not in the busier section of the AVE. Highly recommend it! read more

Good food with generous portions at very good prices. Never would have thought french fries and Teriyaki went together til I ate here

My friends and I stumbled upon this place when we were searching for a nice sit down lunch place in Seattle when lots of other restaurants were closed. This was quite the pleasant surprise as we were seated immediately during the lunch rush. The food was very delicious and the portions were large. We ended up ordering the takoyaki which was very creamy and satisfying. We also ordered the Mochiko chicken which was so crispy and juicy and pleasant to eat. read more

The service level could definitely be better. My friend and I decided to come try it out for the first time. Our opinion? The food is good, big portions with decent price, however, they forgot our appetizer. We ordered takoyaki, never received it, and it wasnt even busy at that time. The mochiko chicken was good, had just enough sweetness but a crisp to it as well. The curry wasnt bad either. We had someone try to wipe off the stickiness on the table, server never came to do it, so we moved to other table. We basically was not impressed at all. Im not sure if I would want to come back, it wasnt a very welcoming experience. read more

Itadakimasu - Mochiko Chicken! - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Are you a fan of Yummy Teriyaki in Redmond? I think they have best teriyaki in all of the greater Seattle area. Hands down. The secret is out. The owners of itadakimasu used to own that place! Now I'm getting my favorite teriyaki in both sides of Lake Washington. They're exactly the same - delicious and big portions. Only difference is the salad. What's really amazing is that the folks at Yummy told me about this place. I like how unselfish they are so I continue to patronize both place, it just depends which one I'm closest to. The menus are not the same too. Itadakimasu has more items in their menu. In addition to their fabulous teriyaki, I also ordered and enjoyed their mochiko chicken, and chicken katsu curry. Same large portions. read more

Very lousy food. I have ordered spicy ramen. I basically think the ramen they made is a insulting of the name of ramen. There are 3 components of ramen, the noodles, the soup and the meat and veg in it. This place can suck them all. read more

I come here for the Korean fusion food, very pleased that I found it. I love a good Kimchi Jjigae and it's really sweet and spicy here. And with spam! Pork bulgogi was just okay -- good, but I've had better around, kind of lacked spice. I like to get the mochiko chicken for take out and snack on it on the couch when I want to stay in. Comes with a nice sweet sauce for when you're feeling like bite sized chicken. Gets kind of noisy sometimes, which I believe is more to do with the acoustics. It's been hard to hear a conversation even when there weren't too many people inside. The bar looks kind of swanky and there's a dj setup but I've never been around for the music. It's absolutely worth going just for the food though. read more

Absolutely amazing Japanese food!! Not only are their prices good, the options great, but the food and portion sizes are fantastic!! I will be going to this place every time I come to Seattle from now on. Great restaurant with a cozy setting and warm customer service! read more

This place is...BOMB. Clean, HUGE portions, and affordable - all you could ever want in a restaurant! Whenever I come here with my boyfriend, he always orders the Mochiko Chicken and I always order the Loco Moco. Like I already said, the portions are HUGE. The regular order of Loco Moco satisfies me for THREE meals! The people who work here are always so nice to me and we always get such great service. I've never had an issue finding parking around the restaurant, even though it's in the UDistrict area. During week nights/weekends, there are a lot of people that come here, but the wait isn't terribly long. I believe the longest I've had to wait for a table was 10 minutes, even during the weekends! Now after writing this review, I'm going to stop by Itadakimasu for lunch today. :) read more

Great place! Very lowkey atmosphere and large portions for a good price! Been there three times in the last week! Fried rice and beef is amazing! read more

Small fusion restaurant located in a somewhat sketchy part of town. But by pass the area and head straight inside- the food is good! We ordered the spam musubi - which had a little too much rice to meat ratio. But still delicious nonetheless - I just didn't eat all of the rice. My husband ordered the garlic shrimp with rice. The restaurant has large (I mean LARGE) portions. The shrimp was well cooked and sautéed with butter & garlic. The butter soaked into the rice and made a delicious meal! I ordered the mochiko chicken (seemingly their specialty). I was a bit disappointed by the chicken. Was way over battered and a bit too sweet for my taste. I can see how people like this dish because it can be addicting, but just not for me. The inside has a full bar and a large range of options for everyone. Street parking is also easy to find. read more

Very decent food though not memorable to make you want to go back, large portions. Service was very subpar - the 2 servers were either overwhelmed/uncaring not bringing menus, food, checks or taking orders when requested. read more
