Rainier Teriyaki

Got to visit this place on 7/8/2026. At first when I got in there I didn't know how to place our…read moreorder, but after a few minutes I figured it out. Place is clean and inviting, a bit small but honestly seems like food is fast. As far as the food goes we ordered a katsu donburi and 2 chirashi donburi, the ordering "menu" had options for changes and choices, but I just stuck with a basic orders. We grabbed a table and the girl brought out our drinks, then the katsu came out and the girl apologized for the delay with the chirashi bowls. Few minutes later our chirashi bowls came out and the girl apologize for the delay. Awesome awareness on their part!! As for the food, my boy enjoyed the katsu bowl, as for the chirashi bowls, the fish was at a good cool temperature and the rice was perfectly warm - something that real sushi restaurants understand. For me and my chirashi bowl I don't really care for sushi rice, I prefer plain rice for my donburi, an option I will look for next time we visit - and we will definitely make it a regular stop when we visit Seattle. Various fish was fresh, and in abundance. Nicely done chirashi bowls at a reasonable price.

This was a great first meal after my flight to SEA. It was recommended to me by a fellow elite and…read moreI am so happy we went. It was on the way from the airport to downtown. There was a little parking lot we parked in. There is a screen you place your order at. It's good for dine-in or takeout. We decided to eat there. You can sit anywhere and they'll bring the food to you. I got the salmon poke and added eel and my friend ordered the traditional katsu don. We both loved our dishes. I liked mine so much I definitely ate more than I should've. I'd recommend this spot!

The food came out and they just plopped the plates down and left. Didn't bother coming by to refill water even when our cups have been empty for a while. I'd understand if it's busier but they had time to fill other tables' waters. Didn't bother checking in on us once and only filled water after we asked. The only quick part was clearing out the table. At this price point, I'm super disappointed in their service. I get way better service at Cheesecake Factory. As for the food, both the duck and the sole we got were presented well. The sole was very plain and you definitely need to eat it with the potatoes. Food was ok, nothing to rave about. Views are decent.

Its been around for decades and is somewhat legendary for the South Seattle food scene. We came here for takeout lunch after morning cemetery visits for relatives. Parking spots do exist in front of the restaurant but they are fairly tight. The location is right on super-busy Rainier Ave after all. As for the food, the Chicken Teriyaki is pretty good. Giant portions, affordable, and they make the teriyaki sauce and salad dressing from scratch. The chicken is skin-on, dark meat, and mostly juicy but also very thick. The flavors did not permeate throughout the meat as much as I like, but there was plenty of flavor on the skin. A good place for fast takeout. Seattle seems to have tons of good Teriyaki places.

I'm a Seattle native too yet I tried here for their first time along with two other friends - who also haven't had here - on a Saturday noon for lunch. It's peak lunch hour so all dine-in seating was nearly taken, and there was a small line to get food too. It's a very casual environment here and you can hear and see the kitchen behind the counter preparing all the food. Staff behind the counter was so kind and my friends and I got to chat with one of them a little bit while placing our orders. I got their chicken and gyoza combo, and asked for the sauce to be on top of my meat. Portions are generous for everything here, including the chicken, rice and even the gyoza. There's a ton of sauce both on the chicken and the salad, though I didn't mind that. Chicken was tender, piping hot and relatively sweet with the sauce, but that's where the rice comes in to balance the taste. Gyozas are standard but came really hot with some sauce on the side. Seating is a little sticky, and you do need to bus your own table. But we all came out full and pretty satisfied with what we had. I'm definitely coming back here for more of their stuff!

I'm genuinely shocked that they only have a "good" food review instead of "excellent" here in West Seattle because the food was SO fresh, hot, and delicious! The bag was so hot it burned the bottom of my hand while I was holding it, and I even burned my mouth eating the food! But honestly, that's not a bad thing at all! It just shows that they're making their teriyaki fresh and serving it hot. Nobody likes cold food! I HIGHLY recommend the egg rolls, too. They were absolutely amazing, and you can tell they're the real deal! Anyways, if you're looking for a little underground, niche teriyaki spot, I seriously recommend giving Nikko's a try! The vibes inside did feel a little off to me, though, so I'd personally recommend ordering online beforehand. The service was decently fast, and you can tell they took their time preparing our food fresh instead of just rushing everything out.

Meat jun is a popular Korean-Hawaiian fusion beef dish. It was perfect timing to stop in after Friday's lunch rush. Only two others were seated in the clean dining area. Decent onsite seating. Flatscreen was on as background. I inquired and confirmed the availability of meat jun from most likely one of the owners. The overhead menu featured Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and of course, teriyaki entrees. There are also combos and bentos available. I completed the takeout order and sat nearby to take in the vibe. Nice and warm, good to dodge the heavy downpour that afternoon, albeit briefly. Tantalizing scents came from the kitchen to the dining room as the two other individuals received their entrees. Soon thereafter I was handed my takeout order. Once at home, everything was nicely packaged, and included a fork and napkin. Generous amount of meat jun atop shredded cabbage with a scoop of steamed rice and teriyaki sauce. A separate container also contained some banchan in cupcake liners: bean sprouts, kimchi, and spinach. The Homie deemed it tasty overall. It was good to have purchased items from all three businesses along 6th Avenue S, right off of S Michigan Street. Very busy arterial with limited shared parking spaces out front. In today's economy, always a plus to support indie, family run establishments. With the wide variety of featured menu items, Wok's Teriyaki is a worthy stop in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood.
