Take-out Review Only. Great Teriyaki option. Their chicken teriyaki was okay. Generous portion and you'll get what you wish for if you're craving sweet and salty. It wasn't the best I've had, but it did the trick. Things that would've made it taste better: (a) more tender chicken (some felt dry) and (b) less sweetness in the sauce. Some people would like this, just wasn't for me. The spicy was decent and I liked it more. Their yakisoba was also okay. Good, but the shrimp felt more rubbery vs. tender and soft. Their salad also decent but again, the sauce is very sweet and more like a sugary glaze rather than a light refreshing ginger based sauce. Owner is very nice and service is great. All in all, it's a good teriyaki spot. It's not knock your socks off, but it's teriyaki and when you crave it you'll be satisfied here. read more

Love supporting a local small business, but there are other spots that are much better in my opinion. The food quality was good, neither Teriyaki or Katsu sauce was overly sweet. However, my problem lies with the portioning for the price charged. I got a combination of Katsu and Spicy Teriyaki and for over $20 out the door. For the price I was under the impression this would be a meal for 2, Or 1 & 1/2 at the very least. Definitely more chicken teriyaki and less Katsu as well. Quality was good, price could be less expensive for the portion size given. I'd give them another try but I don't think I'll ever get a combination again. read more

This is our favorite spot - the only place I will get Chicken Teriyaki as long as I live in the city. We stumbled upon this gem one winter evening last year (our first dinner in our first apartment), and I am so grateful we did. The chicken is cooked perfectly, so tender and just the right amount of sauce. After having so many chicken teriyakis, there really apparent differences in quality, quantity, and taste. Sunny Teriyaki knocks it out of the park. And they are the sweetest!!! Go support this business!! read more

Such a great teriyaki spot! They give such big portions of meat, so it's definitely enough for two meals and two scoops of rice too! The sauce is delicious and a touch on the sweet side but that's perfect for a good teriyaki sauce. I love the dressing they give with the side salad, and the gyoza is delicious. They're super stuffed and juicy. The owner is so sweet too, so this is probably gonna be my new go to teriyaki spot! read more

Can never go wrong. Was on my way home from work and was looking for a quick bite to grab some food. I decided to try their spicy chicken. The sauce is so good; just the right amount of spiciness and sweetness. The lady at the front was kind as always. She remembered my name, which is always a nice touch. The ingredients tasted fresh, price is amazing for how much you get. Looking forward already to my next visit read more

What can I say? It's a very solid teriyaki joint that is very close to work. I don't like their tofu teriyaki dish much, but it was definitely filling. Just had a bit too much going on... and the serving was too big for my liking. When I go now and don't feel like meat, I tend to get a serving of brown rice and a salad. Filling and cheap? Perfect! When I'm craving some chicken, I get their super tasty teriyaki chicken. The chicken comes with a salad (lettuce and some tasty creamy white sauce) and plenty of rice. It's kind of a heavy meal, but it generally ends up being two meals for about $7. Perfect. Oh and the staff? I only ever talk with the cashier lady and we still haven't established any form of small talk or ongoing conversation, but she's nice and seems to remember me now that I've come in more than a couple of times. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it can't really get any better than this for a standard tasty and cheap teriyaki joint... so, 5 stars it is! read more

I've suddenly become a fan of the teriyaki places around here. I guess it is because of the slim pickens of good, close restaurants to go to here in Magnolia. I didn't come her for the teriyaki though. I came here for Korean BBQ short ribs. Our former go-to was Terikayi Bowl on Gilman, but that place was serving up too much fatty meat and the lady taking to-go orders kept messing them up. Here, I like that the meat was grilled and there was less fat on them. The bf ordered the teriyaki beef and liked that the sauce wasn't as sugary as TB's. It's a little more expensive but it was well worth it. Our meals came with little iceberg lettuce salads and miso dressing, which tasted as expected. As we were waiting for our orders and people were coming in and out of the restaurant, the guy behind the counter was nice enough to tell us that the KBBQ takes a little longer to cook. For that sir, I will gladly wait again. Lots of parking. Big portions. Clean establishment. Winner, winner KBBQ dinner! read more

This was my last meal during my short 3 day vacation in Seattle. I put gas in my rental and walked over to the Teriyaki joint. My friend suggested this place because it was the better of the two he was thinking about. I trusted his decision and it was a great decision. I was about to hop on a plan in a few hours and if I was going to be stuck in a plane for that long, i want to get some good food in my system for the flight. I ordered the Spicy chicken teriyaki and it was pretty good. It was a little bit on the saltier side but it was okay over all. The spiciness was also not bad. Maybe kick up the spicy and less the salt and you got a winner for me. Chicken was done very well and it was cooked fresh because we waited a bit for it. The chicken was juicy and hot when i got it. I know some places in hawaii already have it cooked under a heat lamp and what they do is grill it very quickly to give it new taste. Two scoops rice and toss salad was very filling too. This will be my go to teriyaki joint when im in the Seattle / Magnolia area. read more

First and the last time eating at Sunny Teriyaki. I ordered beef teriyaki, and I was shocked to see the meat black and cardboard-like texture. I asked the lady that my beef was overcooked and burnt. She told me this is their charcoal style and its normal. I explained to her that my meat was unusually darker and dried compare to other customers meat. She had no answer and all she could say was that this is our normal style and it's not burnt. You guys look at the picture and tell me if I'm wrong. Never going back to this place. read more

Cute small Teriyaki shop. Such sweet owners! I came in randomly as I was craving teriyaki and wanted to try a new spot. I parked, and came in. Very small, but so friendly. I came in and ordered the half chicken and half katsu plate. The wait was a tidbit long... I waited about 20 minutes for my food. It wasn't that long, but it felt long. The plate looked small, but it was a lot of food--half chicken, half katsu, rice, and salad. The only thing that sucks--is that their rice they give you is very small. I wish they gave us more rice. A lot of teriyaki places give you like 2 cups of rice. Nonetheless, the food had me full. I think the katsu was a bit overcooked. Yes, it was a bit dry and very very brown, which indicates it was overcooked. Aside from that, they are truly the sweetest people ever. Super nice service, there is free water with cups, and they clean the dishes as long as you bust your own table :) read more

In the realm of Teriyaki, SAUCE is the coinage of the land. No Cash and Carry or Costco bottles here. Every sauce perfected in it own way - Sweet, Tangy, Sour, Spicy, Salty. Other than that, a good cook and clean shop. Try the lettuce alongside the hot meat and rice as a texture and layering (almost cooling) element, and not as a "iceberg lettuce flecked with carrot only side-salad." Teriyaki meat wrapped in lettuce is actually a nice summer dish in its own right. read more

A majority of the bowls are between $13-16 each, which in today's foodflation economy seems expected. The good news is that the portion is substantial in every bowl. My go-to is their chirashi, which is roughly $19 but features a nice array of fish cuts that include salmon, chopped fatty tuna, masago, fresh water eel, shrimp with albacore and another dose of tuna. The unagi don is their most expensive bowl at nearly $21, but the broiled unagi with the eel sauce that is dynamite. The textures, the sweetness, and the size is all on point. And due to its status as a teriyaki city, I think the chicken teri don is an excellent alternative to all the seafood. The teriyaki hits all the right flavor notes, with just enough sweetness with the tenderness of the chicken meat. Add in another $1 and it's a spicy version. I so wish there was something like this in my neck of the woods. If I lived in Seattle, this would be a weekly destination. I'm already looking forward to my next visit(s).

This place is very unique and nice. The interior is bright and comfortable. On sunny day, it is…read morereally nice to sit outside and enjoy the food. You order and pay first at the counter like fast food place, but the service is very friendly and welcoming. Staff was polite and kind. I ordered Mom's Medley Bibimbap with tofu and chimichurri in stone pot. It came very hot, looked beautiful, and tasted really good. I also liked they use reusable chopsticks and forks, so less waste. Even water glasses and containers looked nice. Overall, it was a great experience and a bit pricey .

A Great Casual Spot for Korean Food Clean Korean eats! A gem…read moreI found while walking on Sunday. I've had this place on my "must-visit" list for a while, and I finally got to try it. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I also loved how clear and easy-to-read the menu was. Since I'd always wanted to try the daily special, I went with the Spicy Pork. I was really craving a traditional "Baekban" style meal with all the side dishes (banchan) laid out. The presentation was stunning, but the taste was just okay for me--not bad, but not particularly memorable either. However, everyone else in our group was very happy with their orders! The Veggie Bibimbap and Stone Pot (Dolsot) Bibimbap were hits, and the Chicken Katsu Curry was great, even with a little spicy kick. The Hamburger Steak was also a crowd-pleaser. It seems like ordering the individual entrees is the way to go here. It's a perfect spot for a casual meal, and the beer we ordered was incredibly crisp and refreshing. Since we had a large group, we sat outside, but the vibe inside looked lovely too. I'd definitely come back again! Perfect weather, a scenic walk, and an amazing meal to top it off.

Came here on a sunny Sunday afternoon and it was busy and popular that day. The line moved quickly…read moreand we ordered on a tablet, there's some seating inside and limited outside seating which is great for the warmer days ahead. I got the pork katsu sando and the matcha soft serve. The ice cream had a good matcha flavor and was sugary enough that my friend who doesn't care for matcha liked it enough to take a few bites. The restaurant is next to Gasworks park so we took our food over there to look at the view and picnic. The sandwich is juicy, has cabbage which cuts the fat and the standard tonkatsu sauce on it which gave it that flavor. 8/10, def recommend if you're in the area.

I was excited to try this spot out after a friend said we should try it out!…read more It's a nice spot that's a bit tucked away but conveniently close to Gasworks park, so it's a great place to stop by if you plan on hanging out there. When entering, we were greeted by the staff, even though ordering is done through a kiosk. That was appreciated. I ended up going a classic pork katsu sandwich and made it a combo where I got some fries as well. It was a decently busy day, but they made sure to get the food out to us at a reasonable time. Although we didn't dine in, I did want to note that the inside was nice! There were seating options inside and outside. The inside had simple but fun decorations and even had a mini claw machine as well. Now the food. It was so good! The sandwich flavors blended perfectly! The fries were a good addition as well with my favorite part being the nori that's added into it. I WILL be back and ready to try out the other things they have to offer!
