Overall good food! A bit pricey for Teriyaki, especially if you're making any modifications like adding stir fried veggies, but you get enough food for 2-3 meals! Service is friendly and they are usually pretty quick to get your food. Spicy chicken was not spicy at all. Their sauce is kind of salty so I'd be curious if they can make veggies or chicken without it and get it on the side? Either way, this is a good stop for take out. Small shop so not a lot of seating or parking nearby. read more

Not the best teriyaki spot in Seattle, but it is the best in Ballard, no contest. Great food, great value, great humans. Typically, I'm a spicy chicken guy. Sometimes I order the regular chicken or a combo. Occasionally I get the yakisoba, and when I do I usually get it with extra veggies because that way it's enough for 2 meals....it's a lot of food for the price, and I very much appreciate that. If you want a nitpick, the chicken could use just a bit more char. Also, the yakisoba comes on top of a scoop of rice, which really seems like it's just there to take up space in the container? Either way, these are half-hearted complaints. The two guys who I see working the counter are always charming and accommodating. They'll tell you 10-15 minutes on the phone; your food will almost always be ready in 10. I have a policy of not tipping when no serving was performed (call me stingy, but it just gets out of hand), but I usually do here . I typically pick up from Sunny once every week or two. recommended if you've got a hankering for teriyaki in this area. read more

We had a craving for teriyaki and walked into Sunny Teriyaki on a whim. They have a parking lot which is great. We ordered a combo plate that came with chicken, rice, gyoza, an egg roll, and salad. The chicken really hit the spot - not overly saucy, charred just enough, and super juicy! Everything else was good too. I shared this plate with my partner and it was a perfect portion for both of us. Service was excellent. The guy at the front counter was friendly and on top of things, such as bussing tables in between taking orders. Our food came out pretty fast too. read more

It does the job when you want teriyaki and if you don't want to go too far. The chicken teriyaki was average, the sauce was a bit too sweet and salty, but only noticeable if you've had a lot of teriyaki before. I wish they would at least fill the side salad container... it's just iceberg lettuce after all. The chicken katsu was a bit too thin, so it was dry, but stayed crispy for take out. I also wish the katsu came with a side salad, but it just comes with rice. Super generous rice portion. It comes with a bed of rice under the meat and an extra scoop on the side container in the take out box. read more

Solid teriyaki joint. Good portions and ok price. It was about $18 after tax and tip for teriyaki chicken breast, an egg roll, rice, and salad. Definitely upped the price due to rent and labor costs in Seattle. I have to say the meat is a little dry. I got the teriyaki sauce on the side and only used it to add some moisture to the dish. Otherwise it's usually a bit sweet for me. But a good value, especially the lunch chicken bowl for $8. read more

Hands down my favorite terryaki place in Seattle. I used to work in Ballard and this place was a quick walk away. Always fast, always amazing! If you keep an eye out on the daily specials you can get lunch cheaper. The terryaki is the best thing here. Followed by the chicken katsu. Don't believe me? Well just try it for yourself and you'll be converted. If you dine in they have bowls of egg drop soup you can help yourself to. Don't pass this up! Parking is super limited, it is the new and hip Ballard of course... So it's best to just walk or take the bus which drops you off a block away.

We ordered delivery through Postmates and got the spicy chicken, orange chicken, and shrimp fried rice. We were pleasantly surprised on how big each of the portions were! Each entree came with a side salad with sesame dressing and a bunch of meat + rice. Orange chicken was our favorite, as it was nicely flavored and still relatively crispy when it got to us. The spicy chicken was decent and had SOOO much chicken, but it was a bit too flavorful and spicy for my fiancé. The shrimp fried rice was delicious - super buttery with lots of seasoning and a good amount of shrimp. We'll definitely order from here again and try out other dishes! read more

Review in the Time of Covid I called ahead for my order, and was very pleased when I got there that they take precautions seriously! They have probably the most extensive system to keep their customers safe that I've seen so far! They have sheeting between the cash wrap and the customer, they have a tray for you to slide your card, they have Lysol wipes, hand sanitizer, and cleaned pens in a jar clearly marked, that you use to sign your receipt and put in the dirty pen jar! They put your food in a bag far from them, to the side, for you to pick up and go! That being said, my spicy pork teriyaki and egg rolls were really good. I've been coming here for years, and it was really nice to have some teriyaki after a few months without. My only sadness was that the pork was a tad sweeter than I remember (still delicious, but not what I remember), and the egg rolls were half the size. There egg rolls used to be my favorite in the whole city - and I guess they still are - but I'd like the enormously long egg rolls cut in half in a total of 4 pieces in my order of "2 egg rolls," instead of the 2 pieces of 2 egg rolls. Still delicious, but not quite the same. This is definitely a place worth ordering from! Pro-tip! You get the best deal by using a search engine to find and hand-dial their phone number. I saved about $10 off my order by calling them and picking up myself! read more

Absolutely adored this little clean casual eatery. We came here for a lunch on Monday -- they have specials every day, and Monday is teriyaki chicken + gyoza for just $7.45! A good deal of food for a decent price, especially at such a convenient location in Ballard. The food was definitely hit the spot. The gyoza was cooked well and the filling inside was as expected. The chicken was not the most flavorful, but it was tender and not too dry. Of course, the teriyaki sauce made up for the flavor. Salad dressing was unassuming and not too overpowering. The best part about this restaurant is how sweet and friendly the workers are. I swear the lady working the cash register was smiling the entire time I was there. It really makes for a more comfortable atmosphere, and I could see this being my go-to lunch place if I ever moved nearby. There should be enough tables inside, but if it's sunny and there are no seats, just take your meal to go and eat it at the Bergen Place park half a block away. read more

There is a handful of takeout patrons at any given time, but that's only because of the wait. It's far more enticing to sit in and experience the magic that exists in every bowl. Water is self-serve and thankfully presented in a filtered water tank that spits out cold, delicious water. 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!
