Continues to be the best teriyaki in town! Our order is simple: - Spicy Chicken Teriyaki with Fried Rice - General Tso's Chicken with Fried Rice - Side of Gyoza Portions are big, and the order is always fresh and extra hot. My man can eat the entire portion, but for me, it ends up being two meals, which is awesome. I would love it more only if there was more spicy chicken teriyaki sauce on the fried rice :) read more

When I am in North Seattle, this is my go to Seattle style Teriyaki restaurant, especially their Spicy Chicken Teriyaki.

I live very very close to this place and always said that I'd stop by someday and just never did. Today I finally gave it a visit. The store is tucked away and ver unassuming from the outside. I walked in to a very small store with minimal decorations but was immediately greeted by the person at the counter. The menu is wide and various just like I was hoping for from a teriyaki place. My favorite thing other than order from teriyaki places are their bento boxes. I went with the larger one which comes with teriyaki chicken, rice, sushi, tempura shrimp, gyoza and salad (I was very hungry lol). Everything was done so fast. The ordering was done quickly, the food came quickly. Everything tasted the way I wanted it to. Very savory flavors all the way around and great portions! I'm happy I have a decent teriyaki place so close to me and will definitely be coming back! read more

We ordered the chicken teriyaki, the beef and chicken teriyaki combo, and egg rolls -- everything was excellent. The meats were tender and flavorful, and the teriyaki sauce had that perfect balance of sweet and savory. The portions were generous and beautifully cooked. The egg rolls were crisp, fresh, and full of flavor -- a great side to round out the meal. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out hot and well-packaged. Busy night with the baseball playoff game on, really fast service and tables to sit at while you wait for your order. Delicious food, great service, and excellent value -- highly recommend! read more

The people are so friendly and they have great service, both efficient and accommodating. The food is a nice variety of Teriyaki, Chinese dishes, some bento, and sushi. They have some seating for eating there or takeout. We got chicken yakisoba and spicy chicken. The portions are great. The spicy chicken had a little kick to it but not overdone. We really enjoyed our choices and have more to try on the next visit. read more

Solid teriyaki spot! Not the best I've ever had but close and convenient for takeout.

Overall, a solid option for teriyaki. They have tofu for vegetarians and lots of meat to choose from. My partner got the spicy chicken (extra spicy) and it lived up to the heat! My tofu stir fry was good, but not a ton of veggies other than lettuce. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Great service, very polite. Food was great! I would recommend the bento boxes! Sushi and Thai tea... great place!!

Always fresh, hot, and consistently delicious! This is our go to for bento boxes, teriyaki, shrimp tempura (number one request from our daughter), and my favorite, beef yakisoba which includes fresh and perfectly crisp veggies and oh so tender beef. I'd be remiss to not mention the excellent customer service and super friendly staff. Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful! read more

My three favorites are the spicy teriyaki, the large bento box (shrimp are great), and the tofu yakisoba. Great service and food is ready quickly. read more

This place has great food and bento boxes! The price seems just right. I had the udon tempura and it came with three pieces of shrimp tempura! That's is a good amount. The udon has veggies and it made it so delicious-if you are into that. I also had the spicy tuna roll and it was seriously so flavorful and delicious. My friends and husband agreed with it be very tasty! I would definitely order the spicy tuna roll again. The food was made fairly fast for the amount that we ordered. read more

The service is always great at this location. The portions are always plentiful for the price. Love the spicy chicken teriyaki. They also offer a kids sized portion- which is more than enough! We love the variety and delicious flavors. Have been here several times- local favorite! read more

Unassuming little joint in Olympic hills, but an absolutely solid staple for me. I always go for the beef/chicken combo. Meat is always nice and tender with the perfect amount of char. The sauce is fantastic - I'm so glad they always give you an extra sauce container because I always waterboard my plate with it. Mix it all together with that beautiful rice, and I leave that plate empty. If you wanna switch it up, they have some basic and decent rolls as well. And the bento boxes are great for lovers of variety like me. Honestly, just made myself hungry writing this. Gonna grab some Nori Presto now. read more

Great experience each time i've been here! The service is super attentive and sweeet. Family owned restaurant on top. And the teriyaki was delicious. Thank you !!! read more

I've had Nori Presto a couple times in the past 2 months, and I love how I can come in, order a $10 regular sized chicken teriyaki which I can barely finish AND get it in 3 minutes during busy hours. But for everything else yeah I agree its pricy for what you get. I'll Come for those when I feel like splurging or treating myself but not able to go to nicer places further away. For that I'll happily give it 4/5. read more

Nori Presto - Regular size chicken teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great service! I drove out from downtown and the food was still warm and delicious when I got there.

The food was really good. Me and my roommate got the kid's chicken teriyaki plates. They come with so much food. Well worth the price. The service was good. Cashier was pleasant and respectful. The ambiance was chill. It's somewhat of a small spot, but definitely has a "mom & pop shop," vibe. I enjoyed it very much. read more

Pluses: Tasty teriyaki chicken, with a marinade identical to Yoshi's teriyaki marinade form Costco. For $17.00 (large size) you could feed three. FAST service. Negatives: Seems high priced for a teriyaki joint. Would not recommend the Mongolian beef. VERY high priced and scarily ANY meat, just a few shavings of very thinly sliced beef. Really felt ripped off. Overall, I'd go elsewhere to pay less and get the same, if not better. read more

Only got the sushi, would go somewhere else pending your caliber. If you like Safeway/QFC sushi this is probably a good bet for you, more expensive, but same level. read more

Nori Presto - chopsticks and sushi on a table - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The food was very mediocre (sushi rolls) When I picked up the food (takeout order) and paid for the food on their machine, an option popped up to tip. I usually give a buck or two when I pickup my food, but I then noticed there was no custom option to include a tip. The lowest option started at 15%, which would have come to $8. For takeout, in my opinion, that's excessive. While this was going on I saw the lady, out of the corner of my eye, move to one side so she could see what I inputted for tip. After I selected no tip, (because there as no custom tip option) she loudly sighed and started speaking Korean very loudly (I assumed to workers in the kitchen). Last time I go there after being disrespected like that. Terrible customer service. read more

We received our food fast and had quality service! Good food, it was all fresh and delicious read more

Love this local teriyaki place. They always get my order right (half normal half spicy chicken teriyaki) and are always quick and kind. Pre-covid they also had delicious miso soup if you were waiting in the store for your take out order. I'd always go and put my order in in person so I could have the appetizer while I wait! read more

Really good teriyaki + generous portions. The sitting area is quite limited so more ideal for takeout rather than dine in. read more

Nori Presto - 1. Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Just what I needed when I wanted some teriyaki. Fairly typical. I'd eat there again and in the neighborhood.

The best teriyaki I've been able to find in Seattle. I got the regular spicy chicken. Perfect portion. The miso soup while you're waiting is also really good. They leave fresh scallions to the side which is a nice touch. I think the no refill policy on the soda is a little silly. I don't think extra soda is going to put you out of business especially considering the phenomenal food. Definitely recommended! read more

Nori Presto - Regular spicy chicken. - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Nori Presto is a wonderful family run restaurant with delicious food and amazing service. We will be back!

Good place for chicken katsu. Their combo with tax ran me about 13$ which is a bit more than other places however it includes plenty of food. The salad was good too. They didn't provide sauce for both chicken which was bad. The teriyaki was average. read more

Nori Presto - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

TLDR: comp miso. Beware of peanuts if you have allergies. Typical average teriyaki joint. Cafe-ish setting with quiet music playing in background. Lots of ToGo orders going on. Nothing very noteworthy. Average teriyaki joint. Service: order and pay at the front and serve yourself Miso and hot tea--utensils are next to the self serve station. Seat yourself--food will be brought to you. We were a little put off by the customer service. We stood at the register for a few minutes and the staff member was there directly in front of us but avoided eye contact and didn't even greet us. Until she finished bagging some stuff. I feel like a simple "hello we'll be with you in a moment" would have been more professional. Complimentary self serve Miso soup and hot tea. Miso Soup: typical "fast food" joint Miso. Doesn't really hit the spot but is sufficient enough for someone who is hungry and doesn't care much for taste. The tofu used is firm and not as soft as high end places (since it sits in the pot on high heat all day). You can add green onions yourself if you wish. Fish Cake Udon: contains slices of carrots, green onion and kamaboko. Udon noodles are a bit chewy. Soup has a nice flavor--nori seasoning and a slight spice kick but nothing too unbearable. Kung Pao Chicken: CONTAINS PEANUTS. Comes with side Salad and rice. The zucchini slices were a nice touch. Heed that spicy label because it has a kick! The salad is iceburg with carrots and purple cabbage--dressing is on the sweet side (honey mustard without the mustard?). read more

I've been to Nori infrequently over the years but when I've felt like teriyaki in Seattle I usually think of Nori Presto Bento and the gentleman and lady that are usually up front. The chicken is usually hot and freshly prepared and the rest of the bento a treat to eat. I put a phone order in for a large bento. A younger woman I've never seen there before greeted me with my order, she was polite but charged me for utilsils? Also did NOT include chopsticks, didn't realize until I opened the package, which has never happened before! The chicken was COLD! and the rice was NOT right! The salad was NOT a salad, it was A SOUP! The dressing in it was 2 ounces at least! I was like what the hell??? Are they reusing leftover food? I ended up throwing out the bento. I've visited here before several times but now theres a complete lack of care or quality to the meal. $20+ dollars wasted! Time to order and drive there and back wasted! Only to have a meal that looked like elements were reused from leftovers that was intended to be thrown out! I dont know who the young woman in the front was or if ownership changed but STAY AWAY from Nori Presto Bento, I know I will going forward! What a disappointment after a number of years!!! read more

Portion sizes had gotten noticeably smaller :( I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki with katsu combo - total was $17. I wouldn't have mind paying that much if they didn't skimp on the protein. I barely had any spicy chicken or katsu. The spicy chicken was good but the katsu tasted weird. It was dry and I think fried in really old oil? There was this weird after taste. The salad was drenched in dressing and not on the side. I've been here in the past and LOVED their food but tonight just did not hit the spot. My quest for a good teriyaki spot continues (my favorite was Teriyaki Times by the Aloha Ramen but the fire put them out of business). read more

Ordered a combo 12: curry & chicken katsu. When my order arrived, I immediately noticed the kastu came with plastic fiber in its coating. Judging from it's green color, I supposed it came from scrub sponge. I then asked the restaurant manager to replace my dish. Later, the manager came back with another curry & chicken katsu and told me that that plastic fiber must come from outside since it's windy day. In my mind, I was like WTF are you fking kidding me? Am I a 3 years old kid to you? The plastic fiber was "in" the coating and it was pretty long that I had to pull it all the way out. But then, after I ate some of the chicken katsu. I noticed it was the SAME chicken katsu I returned. They just simply removed the plastic fiber I showed them and re-fried the chicken katsu. Because, I found the same green plastic fiber again. I confronted the manager. The restaurant did not feel sorry at all but started making excuse and shirking. The owner threw away the chicken katsu and then pick some other chicken katsu from nowhere pretending the chicken katsu was perfectly fine. The owner teared the chick apart in front of me using his finger and demonstrated the hairy thing must be the chicken texture. Again, in my mind, I was like WTF, it's not my first time eating chicken katsu. So, I showed him the picture that I took. He then agreed to return my money, but he STILL NOT admitted their wrong doing and NOT sorry about it at all. He was like okay okay fine and brushing me off as the hairy thing came from outside. I would never come back this place, and I would suggest you to be cautious about this place in the future. Thanks for taking time reading my review. I hope this helps. read more

Nori Presto - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This has become one of our go to spots for teriyaki. We usually call it in and pick up the food to go. Yes, it may be a few bucks more expensive than some other teriyaki places, but the food is made fresh in a timely manner and you won't find stingy portions here! The teriyaki is done well. Not overly sweet and has not been dry. If you want to cut back on the carbs, you can ask them to substitute the rice for stir fried veggies. It's an additional $3, but I don't think that's too bad! read more

Nori Presto - Beef and pork teriyaki combo - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great local place with fast, fresh, and tasty food! We feel so happy to have this option nearby. We have tried both chicken and beef teriyaki (prefer the chicken, which is juicy and not dry, but beef not bad either), some of the sushi rolls (pretty good), and the tofu stir fry (delicious). When you go in to order, you are invited to enjoy miso soup or hot tea available to all while you briefly wait for the quick food. Plus, the folks who run the restaurant are very warm and kind, making you feel like you've stepped into a family neighborhood establishment. If you live nearby, I recommend Nori Presto as a great option to grab a satisfying bite! read more

Nori Presto - Tofu stir fry with brown rice - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Really liked this hole in the wall! We had a small Bento box that was good, the tofu yakisoba was really yummy (a little on the salty side), miso soup was perfect, mango smoothie with rainbow jelly's that was amazing, California rolls were ok, and the cucumber rolls were decent. We will go back but probably not get the California rolls next time. read more

Great sushi, teriyaki. Service is quick and always on time. There is not setting inside so take out online but I love all the live plants they have while I wait. read more

Happy that we discovered this teriyaki place since it's in my neighborhood. I came here with my boyfriend for dinner. We got the small bento, California roll, and spring rolls. Food was very good and filling. For me, I thought the spring rolls were just ok. They have miso soup for free to eat there while you are waiting for your food (which we thought was a nice gesture!). Otherwise $1.99 to go. The owners are nice and friendly. Good place if you want to either eat there or do take out. They had a big menu with lots of options. read more

Great little teriyaki spot for food to-go. Portion size is generous. 1 chicken teriyaki with brown rice + 1 CA roll was more than enough to feed 2 hungry adults. The CA roll is average in taste. But fresh and, gigantic! The brown rice was cooked perfectly to compliment the teriyaki. Friendly service and fast. Recommend if you are in the area and want a quick meal to-go. read more

Surprises are like Pokeman Go always popping up when you least expect it. So I consider myself a lover & contisour of teriyaki cuisine, but wow this place exceeds all culinary expectations about teriyaki food. So my buddy had been boasting about how fabulous this place was for months. Frank decided to take up his invitation for lunch today. I preview the menu and decide on the combo meal of Teriyaki Chicken & Short Ribs. My plate shows up and it's literally a heaping plate of meat, two rice scoops & salad. I gaze at this monument of flesh and dig straight into the short ribs. OMG my mouths explodes with flavor from the short ribs. Arguably the best short ribs I've ever had the pleasure of devouring. Very tender and thick pieces short rib meat grilled to perfection and served along side a generous serving of chicken cooked perfectly and not over sauced. The menu had many options from beef, vegan & sushi for you to choose from and enjoy. I'd highly recommend you locating this place for a meal. This is defiantly a 5 star Frank Booth meal. read more

Big fan of this neighborhood teriyaki place. The sesame tofu is amazing (we have to get every time). Large portions of fresh food and fast. Really great service - my roommate is allergic to pineapple so I called in advance to make sure it wasn't in the teriyaki sauce. The gentleman who answered was super helpful, responding that the teriyaki did not have pineapple as an ingredient and then went on to identify a separate dish that did have pineapple in it. He was very friendly and we really appreciated his extra care in making sure we didn't order a dish with an allergen. He's been a devotee of Nori's chicken teriyaki since! FYI, stick with the hot dishes. That's what they're best at. read more

Great food, great service, great location. What more could I ask for? It's tucked in between Subway and a mini-mart on 15th Ave NE and 125th Street and it's just a great place to stop by to pick-up a teriyaki bento or other Japanese/Chinese meals. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable too. They have DumDum lollipops at the front cashier which I thought was nice. :) read more
