Manna is a solid spot to get your teriyaki fix. What the bf and I ordered: Chx Teriyaki + Katsu Combo and some gyoza The low down: Generous portions, hefty pieces of chicken with decent char marks (I personally like a tad more char...but Manna's meets the minimum so all good there), teriyaki sauce wasn't too sweet, katsu remained crispy and not oily even in a closed container, nice zing to their katsu sauce, fresh side salad with sesame dressing. Check. Check. Check, Dock a point: Gyoza was a little light on filling but it was tasty and also still crispy. Overall, my fiance and I were pleasantly surprised. Would order from Manna again. read more

Normally I go to another teriyaki joint up on 15th but wanted to try Manna out since it's in the neighborhood. Walked in on a sunny weekday evening and ordered chicken katsu to go. It's your typical teriyaki joint - small and clean, with photos on the menu. Came to $17 and some change before tip. Waited less than 10 mins and was on my way. To my surprise, Manna gives out a large portion of katsu but the rice portion is quite small. They didn't even fill the rice to the top of the box. Katsu is crispy and flavorful! Next time I'll just ask for extra rice. read more

I can safely say that Manna Teriyaki is the BEST teriyaki spot in the Seattle Area! The chicken teriyaki has a healthy portion of chicken + rice and a nice side salad to complete the meal. The chicken in grilled to moist perfection, I know I never thought I'd use those two words together. The meat is never charred nor undercooked. The ratio of sauce on the rice and chicken is perfectly measured. And a nice bowl of miso soup always makes my meal complete. I am a regular at this place, and the owner is very nice! I hope this place never goes away. read more

Best teriyaki in north Seattle by far - good char on the meat and not annoyingly sweet. The katsu isn't too dried out like a lot of places - and if you like spicy you need to try the spicy mushroom teriyaki - absolutely . Run by a very kind man with his family who have been there for years. If you're new to Seattle or you've been here and not tried it don't deprive yourself of some of the best teriyaki in the city. read more

Stopped by here to grab a quick lunch to-go and regretted it. We tried the "prawns" and the salmon teriyaki. The salmon was SO dry and overcooked. Think "albacore-tuna-straight-out-of-a-can" dry. The prawns were more like small/medium sized shrimp. Box was slopped together and just looked very sad.... They too were overcooked, dry and very disappointing. Sauce was lackluster. Both meals felt stingy in lack of meat + quality ingredients + adding way too much rice as a filler. I probably should have went with standard chicken teriyaki. Unfortunately, they missed the mark on my last visit as I would not return to try anything else. Based on my last order here, would NOT recommend. read more

This review is for takeout. This place rocks. Lot of variety. The food does not come out that quickly but that probably means that it is fresh and they actually cook it. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken and general tso chicken combo. Each dish comes with rice and the classic western salad. I'd also recommend the chicken Katsu. Portion size is great. This could fill you up for two meals. Great if you are a student and trying to save money. Don't dine in. During lunch they make bubble tea and shakes right by the register. It is so loud you can't place an order. Also the restroom sink is out of order. It is a small dine in area plus a lot of people come in and out since they do the take out. Perfect place for take out. I'd recommend calling in first to place your order and then picking it up. read more

I've had some pretty shitty experiences with DoorDash but this is a whole new level of shitty!!

Mostly, university students, I think. I like dim light atmosphere, unfortunately, I can't enjoy it much here. Too loud? Too dark? Or it's just not the right light bulbs, it got me dizzy. It was at night, it made the room even gloomy. Upon returning to the parking lot, the atmosphere is somewhat unsettling. This is particularly true for a woman walking alone. To access the parking lot, I had to walk through the darkness to the back of the building. Unfortunately, due to the narrow parking lot, one car was parked in a manner that blocked the exit way, requiring me to reverse all the way out. Overall fantastic staff, fantastic food, but I may not comeback because the vibe just doesn't suit me. This restaurant will most likely be very busy in the better location and fresh look.

I was really disappointed with my experience at Niku this time…read more The restaurant wasn't overwhelmingly busy, but two servers were very disrespectful to our table - and on top of that, we were even overcharged by about $60. One of them walked over and very casually threw out a "last call," without explaining how many minutes were left or checking whether we wanted to order anything else. Everyone at our table was caught off guard. It felt like we were being rushed to finish and pushed out, which made things really awkward and gave us a sense of being treated differently from other guests. If the goal was to manage the floor or control timing, the very least they could've done was explain it clearly: something like "You have X minutes left for last orders" or "We close at X time," instead of dropping one vague line and walking away, leaving guests to guess what's going on. When guests feel respected and in a good mood, we naturally order more and tip better. But when the attitude is poor and we feel rushed, it doesn't matter that the extra money isn't going directly into those servers' pockets - it just makes people not want to come back at all. 这次在 Niku 的用餐体验真的非常失望。整晚不是店里忙不过来，而是有两位服务生对我们非常不尊重，甚至多charge了我们$60刀。他们走到我们桌前，语气很敷衍地丢下一句"last call"，完全没有说明还剩几分钟、也没有确认我们是不是还需要再点。整桌人都被说愣了，只觉得好像是被"赶单""赶人"，气氛非常尴尬，也让我们感到被区别对待的感觉。如果你们真的是为了控场或时间安排，最基本也要说明清楚："还有 X 分钟可以最后点单""我们几点关店"之类，而不是轻飘飘一句话就走人，让客人自己去猜。客人心情好、感受到被尊重，大家自然愿意多点一些、给更好的小费；态度差、让客人觉得被赶，钱也不是进那两个服务生自己口袋，最后只会让大家不想再来。

The places is normally empty, but they do a lot of to-go orders based on what I've seen so far. But…read morethey do have good number of tables available. The decor is cozy & casual. Their boba is soft, chewy and fairly decent. I tried their Saigon milk tea and it's good. They seem to make it fresh each time you order. I have tried their poke bowls only so my review would be mainly about their poke bowls. The available shops nearby is pretty limited so having a place that sells poke has been great. Their portions are adequate and the bowl comes with some sides already added like cucumber and edamame. The selections change slightly based on availability but pretty consistent. The place has small local shop feel and I like it the way it is. Not a flashy place but a good spot to try on your day off feeling lazy or too tired from studying.

Not sure if it was because we ordered around 8pm or what, but this was by far the worst sushi I've…read moreever had -- respectfully. I'm not trying to be harsh, but if you truly enjoy sushi, I'd recommend going elsewhere. Every roll we ordered was dry, especially the crab, which tasted old. None of us could even finish our food -- it was that bad. I've never had sushi that dry before. Even my roll with spicy mayo and seared salmon somehow had zero flavor. It was honestly shocking. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but unfortunately, we won't be returning.
