Prices went up a little, but the meat is so tender and lean, it's worth the extra drive, rather than going to our usual restaurant in Woodinville. Typical casual restaurant that's been here forever. There's always people inside so that kind of reassures me that I'm not crazy and the food is really good. Never ordered anything here other than the chicken teriyaki , yakisoba and vegetable spring rolls. I didn't have to wait more than five minutes for my food. We used to eat her all the time after I came again because I happened to be around the corner I decided this place is worth the extra drive on a regular basis once again. Family- owned and run. read more

I got a beef stir fry & a spicy teriyaki, both were delicious! I will definitely be back to try more entrees the whole menu looked delicious. Service was great, you order at the front & find a table. I just wish there was some music because it was very quiet in there. read more

I get the spicy chicken and I love it. The people are always friendly. It's our go to teriyaki place since teriyaki madness on 100th closed down. That was a sad day. read more

We love this small neighborhood spot. It takes about 15 minutes to get your food no matter if you order in or dine out. It always smells clean like bleach inside. My go to is the chicken teriyaki meal & my son likes the chicken katsu...drinks aren't included. And, you'll spend about $15-20 a plate. It's always enough food to share or split for later. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Chicken teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I came in for dinner on a weekday, the restaurant was spacious with lots of available tables. Lots of customers drop by for takeout orders. The ambience is casual, not too loud and good for conversation. The location is convenient and parking is easy to find. Food: We ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki, and a combo of beef and chicken teriyaki. We both really enjoy our food, the sauce and the meat were on point. The spicy chicken teriyaki was not too spicy but has a nice kick to it. The salad was standard. The portion was generous, we had leftover for the next day. It's a self-serve restaurant, there's a counter with napkin, water, and tea. We had no issues with the service. read more

Nasai Teriyaki is a tiny hole-in-the-wall spot in the Kirkland area on NE 85th Ave. It's conveniently located near Costco and the 405 freeway. There is parking in the front and there is indoor seating. I ordered the chicken teriyaki ($12.70) which came with a salad on the side. The chicken was tender although I could've used more sauce with the chicken. The portion size was pretty good and it was filling. The salad was standard and nothing special. This is a no-frills spot that has quick service and is an inexpensive meal. read more

Located in a strip mall with parking. Spacious clean dining area with lots of booth and table seating. Service was quick despite not ordering in advance. We ordered the katsu and chicken teriyaki with gyoza and both were delicious and good portioned. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Went there about 2 weeks back on a Sunday, of all days, and came across Nasai. We used to live only a few blocks away but never stopped by the entire two years we lived there. I took our rather picky 6 year old and I walked away wanting to come back. The portions are good and the meat seems to be pretty good quality. The teriyaki was mild (even the spicy chicken wasn't hot) but wasn't cloying like some of the other places. individual plate portions were more than enough for two people to share. Rice is rice, so can't say too much about it. The included salad is exactly what you'd expect with the same sesame(?) dressing on the side. I'd equate it pretty close to Sappori Teriyaki in Redmond (one of my favorites) in terms of quality and quantity of food. Our 6 year old loved her pork teriyaki so much it's now her special "dining" restaurant when she gets a chance to choose a place and somehow loves the salad (she mainly steers clear of vegetables and especially salads everywhere else) - so I guess they must be doing something right. read more

Quick and easy meal and they have brown rice for a small up charge. Friendly service and free black tea with your meal. read more

Ordered takeout here for dinner and thought it was pretty good. Portion is generous for the price as it's rare to find meals for under $15 dollars any more. We got the beef and pork teriyaki with stir fry veggies as well as the chicken and gyoza combo with the brown rice and salad. The beef here is very well cooked, it was tender and juicy. The brown rice and stir fry veggies were also fabulous. The rest was just standard for me. Fyi: it does cost $1 more for brown rice and $3 more to sub stir fry veggies. Overall, probably one of the better teriyaki places in the area for a reasonable price in my opinion read more

It visually didn't translate well in styrofoam to-go, but the Chicken Teriyaki tasted great! Large portion of chicken, two scoops of rice, salad was crisp, nice dressing. More than I could eat by myself, and my dog also approved. Staff were sweet, organized, and food came fairly quick and HOT. Very casual atmosphere, and at noon, not overly crowded. read more

Great service, good portion for the price, and delicious. Food is fresh, relatively healthy, and quick friendly service. We will definitely add this place in our regular rotation. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Hot & spicy stir fry (no rice, extra salad) and chicken katsu - Japanese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Haven't been here since 2019! Food still really good! No idea if the serving sizes are still large since I got it to go. Basic chicken teriyaki for $12.99. Some places in Kirkland charge more so I would say this is considered a good deal for Kirkland standards. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Chicken teriyaki to go $12.99 - Japanese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Food was fast, service was good, place was clean. Chicken katsu was delicious. Hot and spicy chicken has good amount of veggies and meat. Great value! read more

Standard teriyaki fare with a couple of alternatives like yakisoba- which I tried. It was good! We also tried the spicy chicken teriyaki which came with a small salad. Also good! I'm not a fan of the styrofoam's containers, but hopefully they're just using up their back stock. I would say Nasai Teriyaki is nothing to write home about but definitely good enough to write a Yelp review about. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Veggie yakisoba. Success! - Japanese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Honestly, the food here is such a bang for your buck and solid quality. I love the general Tsos chicken from here (although they've had varying levels of spiciness) and my husband typically gets the chicken teriyaki. It's such a great quick dinner if we're feeling tired and a fast meal. The people are always great when we come in and order or eat there. Dining there is very casual, think fast food restaurant vibes but mom and pop shop twist. Overall, you pay for the food which is great! read more

We usually come here for our teriyaki meals. The quality is usually very good and it's a nice spot to sit down too. We'll keep coming.

Lots of tasty food for a good price. I always takeaway and the service for that is prompt. Styrofoam containers can be fragile, so be careful of leakage. It has seating but it's not focused on ambiance, was clean. I like this place and order regularly. read more

I ordered the chicken and white rice Teriyaki meal here a few days ago and they didn't even put teriyaki sauce on it and they also didn't give me any teriyaki sauce on the side. I ordered my meal to-go and then I got home and opened it only to discover they just gave me dry chicken and rice with no teriyaki sauce. I paid $14.50 for the meal and I tipped $2.50, so I paid $17 total and they didn't even put teriyaki sauce on my "chicken teriyaki" meal. So before I could eat my meal I had to drive to the grocery store and buy a bottle of teriyaki sauce to put on my meal, and the bottle of teriyaki sauce cost me $7. So don't order a teriyaki meal here, they won't even put teriyaki sauce on it and you'll have to go out and buy your own bottle of teriyaki sauce if you want a teriyaki meal. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - The chicken and white rice "teriyaki" meal with no teriyaki sauce. - Japanese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I have been going to this Teriyaki place for years. It was right down the street from where I went to high school and has always been in a convenient location for me. The service is pretty quick here. You can go in and order or call ahead and do takeout. They have parking out front and that also makes it extra convenient. You can also get a stamp card that they punch each time with a stamp towards a free meal. If you forget your card, don't worry, you can combine stamp cards to get your free meal. I like to order the special when I want some variety. It comes with Chicken Teriyaki and Gyoza. The Gyoza are not anything special but I still consider them better than most Teriyaki places. The chicken teriyaki is pretty saucy and comes with two large scoops of rice, just like their other meals. Recently I have been ordering the chicken breast teriyaki. "A healthier choice." To be a fan of the chicken breast teriyaki, you must be okay with eating semi dry chicken. I like it but I think that is because I am used to it being on the dry side. Each meal also comes with a little salad. This is your littler asian salad with a sweet honey mustard ish taste dressing; probably nothing nutritious coming from this. They also have the option to order brown rice. It has the texture of white rice if you were curious. I would definitely recommend this place as one of the better teriyaki spots around here. read more

I got the Chicken Katsu. I would say it was the worst chicken katsu I have ever eaten the chicken is so dry and they do not give enough sauce for the dish. It was so hard to eat. Never coming here again. read more

Just go. It's amazing. Got the Nasai special so did my boyfriend. Sat in their wooden booths and had a fantastic rainy day linch. Sauce is homemade and blew my mind. read more

We were really disappointed to see that Nasai is only using styrofoam for serving meals. Not just to go but for dining in. This is terrible not only for the environment as they are constantly creating unnecessary trash but eating hot meals out of styrofoam is not healthy as it melts it leaches chemicals. They blamed it on the pandemic but I can't understand how that has anything to do with their dishwasher. If that's the case they should absolutely be required to use a recyclable or compostable container. Their restroom is also "out of order" with a really dirty wood sign. Judging from the prior picture on this page from 4 months ago, it's been at least that long. Patrons cannot use the restroom to even wash their hands after opening the door and touching their cash/payment. Where do the employees get to use the restroom? Seems like another "pandemic" excuse. We did not eat here for these reasons. read more

Nicest young lady at the register. We ordered a regular teriyaki chicken, a katsu chicken, and a spicy chicken and vegetables. Portions are great but I am taking a star away because their Katsu Chicken was over cooked and dry. read more

I have been going here for over 10 years. In the last 4 years, the amount of food you get is half of what it used to be and more than twice as expensive. It is so disappointing when they not only give you half as much, but they also don't give you any teriyaki sauce (you have to ask and pay for it now).their food is good, but really...pay for a tablespoon of teriyaki sauce????? Come On!! read more

Only went here because Toshi's was closed. After repeating the correct order to us, we received an incorrect order. Chicken was poor quality, too much sauce, sauce was one dimensional and tasted terrible. Rice was dry and cold when I received it. A teriyaki place should be able to serve good rice at least warm. Portion was average. Tables were sticky. It took 15 mins to make. read more

Great quality and delicious. It's hard to find good teriyaki anymore. Vegetable were cooked well and the chicken was tender and not chewy. Keep it up! read more

Depending on the cook and how busy it is here the food is not that bad. They give you huge portions for reasonable prices. You can also upgrade to brown rice for $2. I ordered the chicken and beef combination with salad for $7.59 and could barely finish half. The salad with the sauce had a soapy taste to it. I really didn't like it. The meat was a little burnt for my liking but I'm sure if I ask them not to burn my food next time they wouldn't. read more

Today is Sunday and this was the only spot close by that is open, so I called in for a pickup order. We got the chicken teriyaki gyoza combo and a spicy chicken teriyaki. Looks-wise the food looked great and it was still hot when we got home. Unfortunately the best tasting part of it all is the rice. The chicken does not taste fresh. The chicken had an odd soft feel as if it was microwaved? You know the chicken Caesar salads you can get from like qfc/Fred Meyer with the small pieces of chicken that is like sort of chewy but soft? Like that. Was not happy with it. The gyoza is nothing special, hard to mess up frying something frozen. The gyoza sauce was off, not up to par as well. Sorry. read more

Not the same under the new owner .. this place used to be our favorite Teriyaki place , I got our usual orders and the whole family notice that the food is not the same. Sorry had to write this because I'm not sure why would you turn something good to bad instead of making it even better. read more

The food is more amazing than ever, and we liked it before! We think this is under new owners? The teriyaki chicken has excellent flavor, and the katsu chicken is the perfect crispy texture. Thank you for being our go-to neighborhood teriyaki place! read more

I've always been a fan of Nasai - I've been coming here for about 10+ years now. I don't know if it's because it's sentimental but I always go here if I have a craving and I'm in town. They have changed ownership since I first went here - so the taste of the food has changed. The parking lot can easily get packed - so just be mindful of that. I used to get Spicy Chicken Teriyaki - but now that I don't eat meat - I order the Yakisoba. You can ask for double-rice with your teriyaki if you don't want the side salad. The side salad is good - it comes with this sweet dressing that is bomb. If you are in a hurry - you can call ahead and order for pick-up. All in all, I always find myself back here whenever I am in the area and crave some teriyaki. read more

was the biggest disappointment. So bland and lacking ingredients that it put me off the restaurant for a good time read more

First things first, this restaurant is not open till 8:30pm, I went in at 8:01 pm and was told I could only order ToGo. I ordered the hot and spicy chicken, all I got is mushy veggies and some chicken. I have uploaded the photo which frankly looks like a Dog vomited food. Nothing like the photos on the board. The food looked extremely unappetizing, the chicken was sweeter than it was spicy. I dont think I would visit these guys again. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Hot and Spicy chicken, looks like a dog vomited vegetables and some chicken. Yuck ! - Japanese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

This place has been my 425 teriyaki anchor for close to ten years now, even through a change of ownership. The current owner has been here for a few years, and it's even better than it was before he bought it. He's just finished remodeling, putting in nicer booths and tables--there's a vaguely Japanese aesthetic to the booths now, which is surprisingly appealing to look at. Surprisingly nice for a yaki place, I mean. The service here is always so cheerful and nice; I think the front of the house is mostly family. The prices are not the cheapest, but it's certainly not robbery--it's priced competitively with decent teriyaki. The spicy chicken breast has clearly been cooked whole and chopped to serve, and has decent heat to it. Thank goodness for the Sriracha bottles on the tables. There's a brown rice option, but the vegetables on the side are iceberg mix. I think they do have steamed real veggies for an extra fee. There's usually a Mariners game on the one TV, or some other sports focused as locally as possible. It's always, always, always busy. The yaki is great. I hadn't been in here for a couple years since my job moved to a building a little farther south, but it was fun to come back. read more

Nasai is great! The staff is lovely and the food is always great. They give free drinks if you're a Lake Washington High School student and have your student ID, lots of students come during lunch or after school. It's always clean and they're super friendly. read more
