Spicy chicken
Joe D.

This place use to be great, now portions have shrunk cost is up and most of the container is rice.

Sad wet noodles and rice with a pile of undercooked green bell peppers
Amber M.

Avoid this place, food is low/mid. Ordered veggie yakisoba and chicken teriyaki. The teriyaki chicken was just ok, nothing special, rice was too wet and dense. The veggie yakisoba was a disgrace. For some reason the yakisoba is served with rice instead of just being a noodle dish, the portion of the yakisoba was pitiful, probably half the portion of the too wet and dense rice, it was over sauced and dripping in oil but the veg was a few tiny broccoli florets, a few shreds of cabbage and ~1/4th of a green bell pepper?? I've never in my life gotten an Asian veggie noodle dish teaming with barely cooked green bell peppers. Will not be back, it's stupid expensive for the tiny portions, bad rice and sad dishes.

Katsu and teriyaki
Huong L.

We decided to give this place a try for dinner and thought it was ok. We got the chicken teriyaki and katsu combo with a side of gyoza and a piece of tempura shrimp The combo came with the standard rice and salad: The entree overall was very dry. The meat was dry and the rice was dry. Definitely need the sauce. The salad was ok but the sauce for that wasn't the usual sweet light sauce, it was closer to ranch which I didn't like as much The gyoza was surprisingly good and a pretty good deal. 5 price for 2.99. it was crispy and fresh. The shrimp was on the pricier side as it was a little small but it was also cooked pretty well. Overall, very standard. Pricing is reasonable, but definitely not the best.

Chicken Breast Teriyaki hold the rice.

Visited from California as I used to frequent this place a few years ago when I worked in the area. Totally worth the wait. Northern Cal doesn't have any decent teriyaki for some reason. What separates this from the other 10 teriyaki shops around Redmond is that the food is always cooked great and that dressing! Hold the rice and get extra salad.

Shrimp Fried Rice

I bought shrimp fried rice from Niko teriyaki in Redmond. Now I expect not to have a lot of shrimp but this half cup of rice and charged me around 13 bucks for this I will NEVER eat there again!!!!

Passive-aggressive note attached to my delivery order. Options not available to me at ordering and outside of my control.

Niko Teriyaki used to be one of my absolute favorite teriyaki joints, especially for my need for spicy. I tried ordering them for delivery awhile back through a courier service. When I received the order, this note was attached to my food: "Next time you need to put the spicy level on the menu--IS THERE. If not, we don't make it spicy. And we don't have kids chicken fried rice and gyoza, we have a full chicken fried rice and gyoza, and cost MORE. Next time you need to pay MORE." They passive-aggressively told me how I should have ordered from them despite Bitesquad not having a spicy level option and also showing they DID have a kid's size fried rice. I contacted Bitesquad about this so that they may fix the menu options on their end, but it was absolutely NOT okay for Niko to send me this note with their food. All of this was stuff outside of my control as a customer. Passive-aggressive note aside, the quality of their food has gone down over the past few years. I almost always order a 3-star spicy chicken and usually love it, but the past few times I've gotten this dish, I have been less than satisfied. They soak the chicken in their spicy mixture (more sauce than spice) and the cuts of chicken don't seem to be cleaned as well as they used to (lots of gristle and chewy bits). I'm not sure if this is all due to a change in management or other staff, but it's not the same Niko I once knew.

Front counter

Walked in because the sign says "Redmond's tastiest teriyaki." Waited in line then started to order. The customer service representative Ricardo told me to "hurry up, there are other people in line." So I just told him that would be all, even though I hadn't looked at the entire menu. Another guy walked in the store behind me and told them they had got his order wrong. The same customer service rep told him, "why did you bring it back that way? See, some of the food has fallen out. We would have reused that, now we can't." The customer's eyes got as big as mine and he said "cancel the order." The customer service rep said, "Fine, you already paid for it." The guy left his drink sitting on the table and walked out. If my order wasn't already being made I would have done the same. To make things more uncomfortable the customer service rep walked up to me where I was seated, bent over to make to look at him, and said, he must have taken the wrong order, see? It's his fault." Very uncomfortable experience solely due to one person who unfortunately is working the front counter.

This spot is so solid. You can make rezy for larger parties 4+…read more We were so lucky to get a spot at 1pm Sunday for 2. We have a newborn so able to sit comfortably with a stroller in tow! This is a kid friendly spot with high chairs. The ladies room also had a koala care changing table- incredible. We ordered the iberico nabe and the iberico oroshi. Service was super kind and the food came within 15 min. You can't go wrong with anything I've been here 4x now pre and post baby and I'm so so appreciative of this spot. The parking is a bit tough but a testament to a good business-- they are also opening a new branch in Montlake terrace area! Super stoked check this spot out you can't go wrong

I treated my friend out for his birthday here on a Saturday noon at exactly 12pm on the dot…read more Parking is tough around here as their shared parking lot is compact, and street parking is limited given it's near Redmond Way - a very busy street - and a ton of residential buildings; I got lucky and snagged parking along 170 Ave NE just two blocks away. If you've been to their first Seattle location in Cap Hill, this location resembles that one in many ways, though this one in Redmond is noticeably much bigger and has more seating that isn't squished together. There's bar seating and a bigger number of four-tops compared to the Cap Hill location, though the wooden wall scheme is the same for both. They serve katsu here with many types of meat cuts, all of which are listed on their menu with descriptions. Service overall was fast and efficient even when tables around us started filling up with hungry patrons. For our food: - The K&O karaage was all right at best. Meat inside is very tender and juicy but the aromatic toasted powder has so much salty flavor - and outer coating was also so dry - that my friend and I needed to drink water constantly while eating it. We could have skipped getting this. - We each got their jidori chicken oroshi katsu. This comes with their jidori chicken, essentially high-quality free-range chicken breast cutlet... and it was very juicy, with the Panko coating being the right kind of crunchy in all areas. We weren't fans of the grated radish sitting on top of all that katsu though, and most of the dish was their shredded cabbage as usual. The cabbage goes really well with their peanut sauce provided at our table. We both left feeling really full and overstuffed in a good way, though I would pass on getting the karaage if you're already getting one of their katsu dishes. Distance- and seating- wise, I'd come back here for their katsu whenever I don't feel like dealing with the parking situation that is Cap Hill.

Located by the Whole Foods Market, the place is hard to find! It has a very small sign by the…read moredoor. It's in between inSpa and Asiana Bistro Sushi & Grill. Maybe the sign is still getting made?....after being open for 3 years now I think? Anyway, once you find it and go inside, you're greeted by very friendly staff and you see the sushi chef at work by the sushi bar. I recommend sitting by the bar if you'd like to see the chef in action. This establishment is owned by the same owner of I Love Sushi in Bellevue and brings Japanese Kaiseki -- a multi-course Japanese meal emphasizing seasonality, balance, and aesthetic presentation. The menu has course options priced at $150, $200 or $250 (per person). A 20% service charge gets added. Since it's our first time and not sure what to expect, we chose the $150 course -- 8 courses: Soup, Tempura Hand Roll, Sashimi, Steamed Dish, Appetizer Assortment, Grilled Fish, Iron Pot Seasoned Rice, Dessert. We were warmly greeted by the staff including the chef. Our place at the sushi bar is nicely set with a more detailed menu of the course we had chosen (see picture). Everything was delicious! At first we were worried that it's not going to be enough because the portions are small (more like a tasting menu), but by 5th course (6th course for my companions), I was feeling full. It was fun watching the chef worked his artistry with the food. We had sake pairing with our dishes at additional cost. Because we were there to celebrate a birthday (mine!), I was given an extra dessert. Servers were very attentive and food was great! We will be back!

The missus and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary here. I booked about a month in advance…read morefor a 6:30pm bar seating, the $250 premium option which included A5 wagyu Filet mignon and some other high-quality choices. We were reminded by the text system a day and an hour in advance, and since it's tucked away in a plaza in Redmond, it's got plenty of parking. The only issue you may have is not knowing where the door is, because there's no big sign - the towa sign next to the doorway is smaller than the window panel in the door. When you step in, you feel a sense of quiet and calm - because that's what it is. Nori Morita (of the I love sushi group in Bellevue) runs a music-less, authentic Japanese kaiseki experience here. There's 6 seats at the counter, and maybe about 10-12 seats in the surrounding tables. It's a small space but it doesn't feel cramped. There's one all-gender bathroom and one single-stall female bathroom at the very back. Service throughout the meal was generally polite, courteous, and proactive. My water glass and the missus' tea were never left below half. They cleared each course quickly as we finished it, and the meal pacing is such that Nori can keep up with you, even if he's making all six counter dishes and all 12 table dishes at once. It's kind of like a maestro orchestra, but he has plenty of helpers - at least two wait staff, and an additional one or two sous chefs that are handling the auxiliary things around him. Food: while the meal was overall satisfying and filling, there was no standout highlight, or any particular dish that disappointed. It wasn't "meh", but it didn't really wow either the missus or I. I'm sure it'll be forgettable in a few weeks, which is the main reason for 4 stars - it's a bit more pricey than I'd expect for something this high quality. It qualifies for top 10 Omakase / Kaiseki in Seattle by nature of having high end ingredients and baseline high service quality, but those are table stakes given the competition.. The Miyazaki A5 wagyu was genuinely a decent portion size, but given that I've had it before, I guess maybe I expected a deeper flavour profile? The dish that I enjoyed the novelty the most was the Shabu Shabu king salmon - being able to eat sashimi-grade King salmon that you dip into boiling hot soup was a fun treat that definitely elevated the fattiness in the taste profile. Drinks: besides water, the missus ordered the hot hojicha tea, and I got the seasonal sake flight for $39. It was a decent selection, but it was heavily overpriced for the quality of sake and the amount you got. At most I'd expect to pay $25 for four 2oz pours, especially since one overlaps with Ltd Edition (kokuryu - black dragon). Verdict: it's lower half of the top 10 in Seattle - but it's still worth going if you want to celebrate something with high quality service and ingredients. I personally probably wouldn't do the $250 version again, but I'd be interested in doing the other ones. We both enjoyed ourselves - but idk if it's worth $700 for two people (service charge of 20% is added, plus tax...), so take that for what you will. Fun coincidence: all three couples seated at the counter when we were there were celebrating an anniversary - 11th for the farther couple, and 18th for the couple next to us. So for what it's worth - this place is definitely a destination for those that want to celebrate something.
