The secret ingredient is probably snot because the garnish is two kinds of hair long black hair and unfortunately also the short black kind The long one was woven into the rice and the short one sitting right on top like parsley, a lovely touch presumably added by Black Metal Barbie herself who works the counter. Why this place would employ someone with arguably the worst customer service skills ever to run a register is unknown to me, weird hex but ok. They might be afraid she will put a spell on them or kill them and their families in their sleep if they fire her... but I'm not afraid of a little voodoo. Bring it on. Btw, Norwegian metal is so passé. The food was actually really good for a dirty little hole in the wall before someone kept tampering with the cleanliness and deciding the customers deserved special ingredients. read more

We came here on Tuesday for a family outing to Olympic Game Parks. We got hungry on our way so we stopped by this teriyaki place. We ordered yakisoba for our toddler and bento A and o boy! They were delicious! We will definitely stop by this place whenever we come to Sequim. Yum! read more

Never again! I sent my teenage daughter to place an large order for our family. The woman behind the counter informed her that with an order over $100 there is a mandatory 15% gratuity... No big deal, I totally understand. The bill came to around $140 but my daughter, who doesn't know better, was confused by the whole concept. So she asked her "I have to pay 15% on top of the $140 dollars?" And this greedy employee told her "yes". The actual total for the food was less than $110. This woman tried to screw over a young girl whom she knew she had confused! No integrity at all! Boycott this place until that worthless employee, by the name of Kate is fired! I would give it zero stars if I could. read more

We enjoy the meals here quite often. It's good food, prepared quickly, and always generous servings.

When I need a quick Korean food fix when in Sequim, this is where we go. Come to think of it, this might be the only place we go to lunch in Sequim! My personal favorites here are the Bibim Bap and the Tofu Soup (chigae). The Bibim Bap is cooked in a clay pot, so it gets that nice crust on the bottom of the rice. The sauce is just right, not too sweet like I have experienced at other places, and they are generous with the veggies. You must eat this dish there, though, to get the full experience. It's not the same in a to go box. The tofu soup is comforting and delicious, perfect on a cold day. And don't forget the kimchi as a side! My husband says they have the best sesame chicken here, and I have to agree. It's still crispy and not completely drenched in sauce. Yes, it's a tad bit pricier, but I'm happy to pay a little extra when the quality is this good. read more

Sequim Bento Teriyaki - I'm always conflicted between choosing Bibim Bap or Tofu Soup. Today, I choose Tofu Soup! - Japanese Near Me - Sequim, Washington

The food was good, but the young woman (working alone) was amazing. She was cheerful, efficient and made everyone feel welcome. They are lucky to have her. read more

The teriyaki chicken was delicious. It was a huge serving also. Very yummy! We also had the teriyaki beef. It was also very good. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food here is excellent and the service is equally high quality, particularly the girl running the counter; Souza, was very friendly and professional, it is clear that both she and her coworkers take pride in their work, that alone makes me a return customer. read more

I love the food here! Always very fresh, any very tasty. I love the fact that they make their own sauces and don't use msg. If I lived in Sequim I would definitely make this a regular stop. Nice and friendly employees. read more

My first review: Being a Washington native, I have had my fair share of teriyaki all over the state. This place is a tadmore expensive compared to some other places, but I have to hand it to the Korean-American owner, Jin, and man behind the genuine taste of all their dishes. I will always pay for quality and this place brings the quantity as well. I come to Sequim often for work in the bay area, and always stop by here for my lunch. I recommend the chicken breast teriyaki because it's a different marinade from the regular (thigh meat) chicken. The sauce is honestly the best I have tasted, and even better than ICHI Teriyaki in Lynnwood, WA. I would also recommend the salmon teriyaki. Decent cut and crispy outside. Oh the salad dressing with the salad is something else too. It's a vinegary, sesame, and mayo type dressing and I could probably eat that all day. If you're a big boy or want the whole package, go with the super combo! But I must say, any fried rice is great. The eggs, vegetables, meat, and the rice combined in the wok, you can't beat the flavor and the earthy fire taste. I can't pinpoint the spices used, but it's definitely out of sight. Haha, I feel like Guy Fieri, right now! I recently, started trying the Korean entrees and on a cold winter's day, I recommend the spicy beef brisket stew. Just dump the rice in the soup pot and have it with the cold kimchi. It's just a great taste. I took my uncle here one time, and he said, it reminded him of Korea back in his day, so that's got to mean something IMO. He loves the seafood pancake and the dipping sauce. I like the bulgogi beef and ask for extra mushrooms and onions too. It's almost like a teriyaki-type marinade, but not as it's Korean. Hah. I wish my wife could cook food as great as Jin and the other cooks in there, but coming into the diner, it's set nicely and has a bunch of paintings that are plastered on the wall for sale. It's something different, but I can dig it. Jin also recently set up several TV's and it made his place better in terms of enjoyment while eating a meal. Sometimes, it can get real busy, but the food normally takes about ten minutes tops. I highly recommend this place if you want something different from Chinese food (they do have several items). I know, I sound like a fatty, but I am truly a fan of this place and wish it were closer to where I actually lived. It seems like the business does well, and the owner, Jin, who I have spoken to every time I am there is a real nice guy. You can tell he works all days and works hard. You know the mom and pop restaurant type, like most of the places in Sequim. I wish him well and thank him for providing great food at a decent price. That's why I wanted to write this. FIVE STARS for the Japanese, Korean, type of food. I consider Chinese food a different food genre. QUALITY and QUANTITY. Thank you. read more

Sequim Bento Teriyaki - Latest Menu - Japanese Near Me - Sequim, Washington

The food was amazing! I ordered Bulgogi Beef, Chicken Fried rice, Beef Yakisoba, Kimchi, Miso soup, and Prawn tempura. After ordering, I got ALL of that food in 3 minutes tops! Everything was delicious and the customer service received from Olivia at the front was so great and professional! read more

Typical "shopping mall style" teriyaki. Yet I've had surprisingly good shopping mall teriyaki. NOT HERE! I've been going for some time now. Not much else in the area. It's always been underwhelming. Typically there's little teriyaki sauce. Meat (chicken) is usually dry and over cooked. Salad is always bad. Lettuce only with watered down dressing. Very overpriced. If someone opened up a good teriyaki place here they'd make bank. read more

Came in on a weekday afternoon. Ordered my food at the counter. The person working there was polite and friendly. I sat down and literally within 2 minutes my food was brought to me. I ordered a chicken teriyaki. My food was not even hot. Barely lukewarm. I didn't see any steak rising, the rice was barely warm. I was starving and ate some but it wasn't very good. Chicken was dry and overcooked. The salad was just iceberg lettuce pieces and dressing. Super disappointing. I was totally craving a steaming hot teriyaki, made to order. I feel like they precook all the food and bring out to customers as needed. Maybe I should have asked them to cook to order. Which is weird cuz every other Teriyaki restaurant I've been too served a hot meal. So strange. Hope they change this method. read more

Rude staff, really dirty, they close an hour or more before posted time... only good thing is the chicken teriyaki and tempura is delicious... Rude!! - The staff (girls that run register) are complete bitches. Snappy, no customer service skills and Laazzyyyy! Would it kill them to not act like they would obviously like to be anywhere else? Their job is to take orders and money at the register with a friendly smile, its not hard. Dirty!! - Everything from the plastic cups, counter tops, tables and table clothes, floors and even the walls are filthy! The fabric curtain to the kitchen area is brown and chunky right in the middle, its so gross. Lazy/close early - (I know I already said this but it's worth expanding on) Hours posted mean nothing. The rude girls at the register will complain outloud (I've been there twice and this happened) they are tired of costumers, turnoff the open sign and then turn off the phones so no orders can come in. So even though its 8:30 and they don't close until 9 you bet they won't take your order. Try calling in an order around 7:30/8:00 nope... they turned off the phones. ****Clarification on restaurant manners/customs. Guests are seated up until posted closing time. That's industry standard. Otherwise change your fucking sign**** read more

The server here with black hair and lots of tattoos is very rude slamming everything that she touches. Rolling her eyes while taking my order. NO ETIQUETTE at all. Makes this place one of the worst teriyaki place I've ever been. read more

I love this place so much. Food is delicious and nutritious. The waitresses/cashier are very nice and very focus. It is not a cheap place to eat but the waiting time and the price of the dishes are worth it. You can split a dish easily or take home the leftovers because portions are very generous. My favs are the brisket stew and chicken bi bim bap with kimchi. read more

There was a waitress who had black hair and a lot of tattoos.. she was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Spoke to me and my children in an awful tone, and she made us feel sincerely rushed and as if she didn't have time for us. Will not eat here again at the risk of having her serve us again. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Portions are huge, and they taste great on top of it! Stopped in here on a road trip and it was packed. Seems like a lot of regulars that keep on coming through. The teriyaki was excellent and my wife had the bibim bap - she couldn't get enough! read more

I'm a huge fan of Bento Teriyaki being a Sequim native! However, their menu prices are a little high, but the food is delicious! My favorite dish is chicken katsu...essentially teriyaki "fried chicken" and rice. What more could you ask for! read more

Sequim Bento Teriyaki - Chicken katsu - Japanese Near Me - Sequim, Washington

5 stars!!! Being from the Seattle area I feel like I've tasted my fair share of teriyaki and this place is a top contender with their delicious food, generous portions, more than fair pricing and friendly staff! Not to mention they also serve some Chinese and Korean dishes which a lot of customers were eating when I was in. If you are in this area ever, this place is a must in your travels!!! read more

Their food is good, typically fast. Sometimes I do need to ask for my chicken teriyaki to be reheated, not sure why. But good prices and my daughter loves their boba tea. read more

I visited Washington a while back and I was craving some asian food so bad. Luckily I found Sequim Bento Teriyaki :D It's a cute little joint, seems like its really popular for take out. We came between lunch/dinner time around 4:15.. and came right at a perfect time. Just missed the lunch rush (thank goodness). BUT we were sad we missed the lunch special for $7.95 :/ I came with a a few of my friends so I was able to try a few things on the menu. PS HUUUUUUUGE portions. The prices are pretty fair for the amount you're given. Only regret is not saving the pictures of the food we ate. Anywho.. . CHICKEN TERIYAKI: so delish. I'm not a huge teriyaki fan but the chicken was so moist and the teriyaki sauce was perfect. just found myself keep going back for more and more. Plus huge portions of rice and salad. FRIED RICE: we got the shrimp fried rice. SO amazing. again, huge portions. but of course, not only is quantity is great, but the quality is superb. MONGOLIAN BEEF: ah, the much adored chinese dish. it's either wrong or right. but this place def got it right. the marination was so perfect and it wasn't too saucy, but not too skimpy either. beef was tender and perfect sized. Ah now I wish I had some right now. We didn't order any bento boxes, I don't know why because the name is BENTO teriyaki. It's a pretty good price for a little more extra variety... but next time I'm in Washington, most def stopping by here again. I want to try the tofu soup and bibimbap next time.. ah getting hungry thinking about it now Fixed my asian food fix and didn't hurt my wallet. Def a hidden gem in Sequim guys, better get your fix before it gets too crazy popular. read more

fourth time here but first time checking in with Yelp. good food and service every time. love the hot bibimbap in the clay pot and the kimchi is fresh and tasty! my daughter lives the chicken teriyaki which is the Monday special for $6.99. nothing fancy but a good place to grab a fast,tasty meal. read more

Sequim Bento Teriyaki - Bibim bap in a hot clay pot. Sooo good!!! - Japanese Near Me - Sequim, Washington

Sheesh... For a teriyaki joint I wasn't prepared to pay FIFTEEN BUCKS for a pretty good spicy chicken STIR FRIED teriyaki. Not only was it STIR FRIED with a bunch of weird onions, but they charged TWO DOLLARS for "spicy" and then tacked on about $3 extra for the rice and iceberg lettuce salad that I would expect to be part of the meal. Not bad food, but forget it for $15. Later for that man. read more

The prices here what some may consider on the higher-end, but keep in mind that you pay for what you get. This place loads up your plate with a ton of food, and good food at that. We had the Bento Boxes, and they were extremely large. The food is fresh, tasty, and worth every dime. The service was great. Very friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask for in a dining establishment? They should post their menu online to help those who want to order for pickup. read more

Wow !! I have been going here since it opened and spend lots of money there.. I went in today to order for my daughter and me.. I have had Problems before ordering this off the menu so i was careful to choice my words wisely. I asked for a Chicken sir fry and tofu he told the waitress as i stood there that he cant do that and I should just order of the Fucking Menu?!!! I said I can hear you? He said oh sorry I said yeah me too I WILL NEVER go there again told him i would call the owner and report him ( Mikey ).. He could have approached this is so many different ways.. Sad :( read more

Great price for great food. I was not so sure about Asian food in a little town like Sequim but was pleasantly surprised! The portions are large and service is friendly. The place was pretty full and busy with people grabbing their to go orders during lunch time. I will be back when I am in town again - I like that they have variety of Asian cuisines and add ons. There is Korean and Japanese food on the menu! read more

I have done to this place three times, so far. Every time we have been so pleased with it. Really Yummy food. The place is small and can be busy, but we've found the staff as very friendly. Some customers just may have a bad attitude. read more

Tender beef and white chicken strips make this place great. Entrees are huge. Enough for 2 people

This place is always hoppin'! I can recommend pretty much anything on the menu. If you're looking for "fast food Chinese" I really love the teriyaki chicken and the general tsao's chicken. They are made fresh for each order, so the chicken is crispy and flavorful. They are both large portions, plenty to share or save for another meal. If you are looking for more traditional Korean fare, the bibim bop or Bulgogi are both excellent. Finally, the bento boxes of sushi and tempura are also fresh, filling, and flavorful. The only reason I didn't go 5 stars is because of the dining room and common area. It's not disgusting by any means, but it's not fantastically clean or appetizing either. The floor always seems to need mopping, the walls are a little grimy with peeling wallpaper. The bathrooms need a good scrub, and the hallway to the bathroom is piled high with boxes, inventory, etc. That being said,if I could have gone 4.5 stars I would have. read more

Sequim Bento Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Sequim, Washington

This place is very reliable in that it has good food, and great prices. I really like the plates that they bring the meals out on. Very big, really pretty, great for the piles of food that they offer. This time we had the chicken teriyaki, their specialty, which was great as usual. We also had the General Tso's chicken. It was very crispy and delicious, and my favorite part about it is the ability to choose the level of spiciness, on a scale from 1-5. I don't like it burning, so I got a 2, which was perfect. Probably one of my favorite General Tso's anywhere. Only 4 stars because I had the side of fried prawns, and they were just a little bit soggy, like the batter hadn't been fried long enough. Sorry, but I don't like soggy prawns. read more

This place is my go to for chicken katsu. My husband eats the general tso which is a regular for him. When we order take out its ready in 10-15 mins. The service and food is consistent which makes it a reliable go to for lunch or dinner. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. My husband suggested trying this restaurant about 2 years ago and we became regulars. :) We were very surprised by big portion and the fact that food is quite tasty. Being Korean.. I was pleasantly surprised after trying their Korean dish.. especially.. bibimbop and beef stew. The price is not cheap but considering portion and quality... it is worth it. Pretty much every time we went there it was busy.. but they prep food pretty quickly. Happy that Sequim has this restaurant! read more

I arrived at 6:15 saw some girls ordering I was on phone when I went in to order at as they were leaving. The young girl who was taking orders went to the back and a man came out and said they were closed. I told I saw the girls order and I can't order he said they were closed and it's only 6:30. The guy was rude about it. I here sometimes they close early then posted. read more

Great food!! The service is mediocre, always seems like they want to be somewhere else and don't have polite manners. You cant go wrong with the food though...sucks that they allow people like that to work in such a good eatery. read more

Good teriyaki with generous servings but had to give it only three stars because the phone service is absolutely frustrating and the worse of any restaurant in Sequim. Often you are left indefinitely on hold or they just lay the phone down after answering. Seriously, the girls up front are not cut out for customer service work. They always behave as if they wished they were elsewhere. read more

My husband ordered 2 meals because he normally gets small portions at teriyaki places! He was so full after the first meal he had to take the rest to go. He kept telling me how delicious it was. Love this place it's my favorite place in sequim. read more
