    Spicy chicken teriyaki my fave
    Alexis V.

    I always come here when I'm in the area. I personally love the spicy chicken teriyaki and my man gets the regular chicken teriyaki. Prices are deals here and the chicken itself? Delightful. The workers (mom and son?) are friendly and good servers. No complaints! This place has been around for a looong time. And they should stick around for as long as they can! I would be very sad if I see this place shut down. Regardless of the bad reviews, they've always done us right.

    Spicy chicken teriyaki is my favorite! Good sized portions. Friendly dine in service. Owner is a single mother that doesn't speak english, but her son does and so does her employee so please be patient. Located across from Thriftway just off Des Moines Memorial Dr S.

    DO NOT EAT HERE!!! WORST TERIYAKI PLACE IVE BEEN TO YET. My boyfriend and I thought the lady was really nice my boyfriend had given her a $2.00 tip just to get our food and find a black ant in my rice and a straight black piece of hair about 3 inched long in the MIDDLE of my boyfriends rice!!!! It was so gross we went right back up to her counter and showed her then asked for our money back! First she tried giving us a new batch and we watched her grab already prepared chicken from a big see through plastic bag in a bin She didn't even give us our full total!! She tried acting like she didn't understand us and kept repeating the word "yeah" until I got pissed off and said I'd call the police (which they'd do nothing to help) she ended up smiling handing my boyfriend the $2.00 tip back haha. Please don't eat here!

    Great pho nice ppl must try great portions

It had an effortless relaxed vibe and the perfect amount of other diners there that it neither felt too busy nor too quiet. Our food went along the same lines. It all tasted effortlessly good and delicious. We weren't that hungry so we ordered small plates to share. Everything hit the spot and we left there feeling full and satisfied. Sweet touch with the complimentary birthday ice cream treat that my friend and I shared. I'm adding this restaurant to my Tukwila go-to list.

To a large extent, and for a very long time in history, Japan was regarded as the end of the Eurasian continent. Anything that reached Japan was deeply respected and meticulously studied, which ultimately gave birth to traditions like the Tea Ceremony (Chado), Japanese Cuisine (Washoku), and Swordsmanship (Kendo). Years ago, during a visit to Japan, I had the privilege of visiting the famous "God of Tempura," Tetsuya Ototani. He has been frying tempura for over 50 years, cooking millions of pieces throughout his career. Because of his legendary reputation, Japan's NHK TV station invited him to host a show where two young, attractive women were tasked with learning under him as apprentices. After two weeks, these two women began serving guests. However, when the quality of their tempura turned out to be terribly poor, he berated them sharply: "Do you have any idea how many storms this fish had to endure, and how many predators it had to evade, just to grow to this size? It required the finest sailors using the best equipment to catch it, and the most skilled handlers to transport it to us. How dare you fry it so carelessly, is this how you repay all those people?" His philosophy and profound understanding of his craft left a lasting impression on me. The sukiyaki here is Kanto-style. The soup base, known as warishita, is prepared in advance by simmering Japanese soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and a touch of kelp and bonito stock. It is then poured directly into the pot to simmer together with the beef and vegetables. The broth was rich and the vegetables were super fresh. The soup base had a slight sweetness to it, but it was honestly way too salty. Although the word 'Omurice' is a combination of the French 'omelette' and the English 'rice,' and it looks like a Western dish, it is actually classified in Japanese food culture as quintessential Yōshoku (Western-influenced Japanese cuisine) dishes created or adapted by the Japanese between the late 19th and early 20th centuries to suit local tastes and ingredients. The curry was rich in flavor, the rice was sweet and fragrant, and the eggs were wonderfully soft and tender. The fried chicken on the side, however, was way too salty. The eel tasted great, highly recommended! The atmosphere was fantastic, they have an open kitchen, spacious seating, comfortable chairs, and just the right lighting. The staff were outstanding, they spoke fluent English and Mandarin, and their service was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly welcoming.

    Overall this spot has terrific "dirty" sushi rolls that are amazing and taste fresh! All the rolls…read morewe had were great! However, expect slow or inconsistent service and just an okay environment. //CONTEXT// Came here on a Friday evening as a party of two. Found a seat immediately //ENVIRONMENT// Honestly the environment felt a bit sad. There was no music, it was super quiet and just not a typical restaurant environment. Even when I ordered I went up and had to write down my order on their receipt lol. //SERVICE// The service was really slow. I understand that rolls take a while to make and they have a lot of takeout orders but I would hope they'd improve based on what they're seeing. Here are some examples: - When we got there, there was another couple who already ordered and was waiting for their food. Three other parties came in and we all got their food before them. This couple never got their food, had to check and then waited more and then just left. We were there for 45 mins before we got there so they were waiting even longer. - Another party got their food before we did and we ordered before them. Also it was interesting in that this person got their order placed with the owner but we had to write our order down - As mentioned it took us about 45 minutes for 3 rolls. I thought this was kind of long. //FOOD// Food was amazing! If you can get past the wait the rolls are so good! They're fresh, tasty and not too large or too small! I got the Akron, Newport, and the Juneau! These were all so good! The tempura and fried soft shell crab was perfectly crispy and not soggy at all. The fish tasted so fresh! The Newport did lack a bit of ponzu. Aside from that these were great rolls Overall, the rolls were good but the service and wait does make me hesitant to come back.

    Be sure to leave room for tempura!…read more For the past few times I've been going here I kept going for the large and then when I get to the tempura I grab a few of those for myself as well. When I do that I'm always honestly stuffed. I find that the perfect portion of food is the regular and a few tempura. With that said, I know they have tempura Udon but incase you're split between that one and another, get the other option, you can pick up your choice of tempura variety down the line. I love how quick the food is ready and despite it always being busy, I've never had to stand around for seating.

    This is my first time at this chain. I was a fan of Sanuki Udon Hanamaru, so that's my main point…read moreof reference. The biggest drop in quality is probably the noods themselves. The chewy bounciness at my favorite Japanese locations is almost physics-defying. The texture is simply divine. In comparison, this mouth feel is a cheap knock-off. The broth is not bad. The dashi is not as satisfying, but this was drinkable without being bland or too oily. I was more impressed by the fried sides. The giant potato croquette was excellent. The level of crisp and mushiness of the inside was on-point. The chicken was also nicely crispy and juicy. Of course, the fact that it was dark meat automatically gave it a head start over a lot of American fried chicken filets. The zucchini was good. The pumpkin was a bit dried out, but I think that was partly because I ate it last. Overall, this is quite authentic, from the way the noodles are prepared, to the way customers self-serve the sides. They even have a tray return. There are certain Japanese main-stays that I wanted to see, which are missing. Like, some kind of fish in the tempura line would've been nice. One of the biggest localizations is probably the veggie udon, which is violently un-Japanese looking with its carrots and broccoli and would certainly ruin the mouth feel of a smooth bowl of udon. If there's one plant root you want in an authentic veggie sanuki udon, I'd argue it should be grated daikon radish, which I don't think they have. But well, having too many unfamiliar things might be off-putting. That grated ginger at the end is already dangerous enough lol.
