This place is not as good as other Seattle style teriyaki places we've tried. We've tried this spot twice now and both times it was just under the meh level, thus the two stars. The flavor is a bit bland, even when ordered spicy. I dunno if they over thicken with corn starch but each time we've ordered we were left with thickened mouth juice after eating the food. Like thick saliva and such, making it kind of weird and off putting to swallow after finishing the meal. The menu doesn't make ordering v3ge+arian or v3g@n easy at all. After giving this spot two tries and having the same experience on both occasions, we'll go elsewhere for Seattle style teriyaki henceforth. read more

Great place to eat, great food and people! Try the special it has rice, brisket, pulled pork, and sausage link with pico de Gallo and spice sauce...it is amazing and a favorite of mine. Usually not ready until after 4pm. The bulgogi is also very good. read more

The portion sizes are crazy, honestly it could feed two people not just one. Tastes amazing as well, would definitely come back for another lunch! The staff was friendly and patient with us because we did not know what to order. The cashier helped us a lot and explained every single thing. Nice place to sit down and enjoy the food! read more

My husband and I been coming here lately and the food is great! He ordered orange chicken with gyoza and I ordered chicken and honey sesame. The owner is very kind he gave us banana pudding to try and it's one of the best desserts we've had so far. We recommend this place and the music is so chill.... We love supporting small business and with this we found a fave place to eat! We will be coming back again!! read more

Great food, solid fried rice I enjoy the green onion in it, good price for the portion and love coming back here. My bf got the teriyaki chicken and it was also good, I really enjoy the coleslaw I like that it's sweet. read more

First time here. It's very close to my gym so I stopped in for a takeaway lunch based on a thumbs up from the chef Kenji Lopez Alt. Unlike some other reviews my experience was very good, granted it was early and they weren't busy yet. The gentleman at the count was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken teriyaki with gyoza and waited 5 or 6 minutes for it to arrive. As with most Seattle teriyaki the portion was huge, with 5 gyozas and lots of white rice, chicken and salad, accompanied by two sauce containers and a third with salad dressing. The salad is cabbage, which may bother some folks, but I thought it was good, topped with the typical sweet mayo dressing. The gyozas were crispy, not greasy and just fine. Both the chicken and rice tasted fresh and the sauces were good. For me this was enough for two meals so the price was right at around $17. I'll definitely be stopping by again! read more

For 10.99, I got a heaping plate of food. The chicken was very tender and grilled with rib meat which I prefer over breast meat. The slaw was crisp, light and flavorful. Topped with the perfect amount of green onions and sesame seeds. Definitely coming back. read more

Great portion, supreme quality, the restaurant is very spacious and I love how it is not very clustered. I got the chicken teriyaki and pulled pork teriyaki, the meat is very tender and rice was really soft and tasty. read more

Surprisingly good portions, better than most in taste, and at a good price. We had the beef pho, chicken pho and the chicken katsu curry rice. It was packed to go, but unfortunately, the soup and noodles were together - not good if you want the noodles to not expand too much once you get home. In all a relatively ok spot for a quick fix. read more

We ordered delivery from them and were pleased with the curry choices. Limited menu but solid choices. The gyoza was tasty and so was the curry. They offered grilled chicken and katsu, as well as pork and shrimp options. You can also get curry udon if that's your jam. You can also designate the spiciness of your curries. Would definitely order from there again! read more

I've had a lot teriyaki over the years. This got to be the worst Teriyaki I've ever had. If there wad a 0 star rating I would give it to them. So my favorite teriyaki restaurant was closed, I thought give this place a try. We ordered chicken Yakisoba, and teriyaki chicken with rice. The teriyaki favor was way off! The flavor was NOT teriyaki, was something else. It doesn't not have the traditional sweet gingery sesame oil teriyaki flavor, it was bitter. The chicken in the noodles taste like old meat, Yuck. So we barely ate any, I sarcastically ask my hubby if he wants take some to work for lunch, the answer was a solid and firm "No". read more

They gave me pho with no sauce... wtf. Also the chicken was rubbery and not appetizing. I ended up throwing it away. Pho is supposed to have hoisin sauce in it. This didn't. This is just straight up the wrong way to make pho. Learn how to make pho properly or stop serving it! Your food is bad and you should feel bad. read more

Pretty good for its spot on Aurora. You get what you pay for and then some. With sides as low as 4 bucks, it won't hurt your wallet. Gyoza is too notch. Pho noodles are thinner than my liking, but the broth and meat is rocking nonetheless. The lobby is the cleanest thing you will see on Aurora, with a calm vibe. Stop in if you're tight on cash but still want some good food. read more

I would recommend to check this place for sanitary reasons. No toilet paper, no toilet covers, dirty floors, tables, toilet and sink.

Coming in the front door was a peculiar foul smell. I still placed an Order for their "Beef" Teriyaki. Upon receipt they served what I asked for, which would've been $14.99 but they added coleslaw calling it "salad" and rice which I didn't ask for costing me $17.40. But the WORSE part was (their) "beef". As an American I surely know what beef tastes like and THIS IS NOT BEEF. It was a light brown color, very very soft and SLIMY. I almost threw up and I put the entire order in the trash. read more

Teriyaki chicken was bland and not great quality chicken. Not even any grill marks on the chicken, like it had been boiled instead of fried or grilled. We were disappointed and won't go back, unfortunately. read more

The food is consistently good and plenty of it. The only challenging part is the parking. The staff is patient and kind.

I'm not sure if I'm eating at a different place than a lot of these reviews or what, but I've never once had a problem with my food or with cleanliness here. I do think they've changed hands recently; the inside has had a touch up (and the tv removed), and the menu has been MASSIVELY pared down-- to its benefit, I think. They focus on teriyaki chiefly now, instead of incorporating a ton of different Asiatic foods. On to the food itself: it's great! My favorite is the chicken yakisoba, which is jam-packed with meat and veggies (with the veggies actually grilled up properly, which gets them extra points), but the classic teriyakis are great too. Not to mention the GARGANTUAN portions. One plate is enough for two meals, at LEAST, so you're getting your money's worth. Free soup: gotta love it. Is it fine dining? Of course not! But for teriyaki you can do a heck of a lot worse. I'll come here any day of the week. read more

How far to say the least this place has went straight to hell. first I ordered and then my mom n sisters they didn't get one of my sister's order so my sister's order and then had to wait an additional 10 minutes to get her meal as we ate without her. they didn't have any clean spoons for soup. And there limited amount of sodas as a choice of Beverage sucked. since they no longer serve bubble teas anymore. they don't give you napkins when you get served your pho soup. when are meals came they look different from previous versions the chicken was extremely Flubbery drenched in a really really sweet sauce and I went to get a bottle labeled as teriyaki sauce which i poured all over my rice once I took a bite I knew was a horrible mistake it was like Worcestershire sauce as a teriyaki sauce awful. we asked our server to please bring more napkins then I had to holler at her because she forgot or wasn't caring about getting them for us. but what surprised me the most was there were several people in the restaurant and the Chef & the waitress lady the from the front brought out meals of Their Own started eating in the lobby with their work gloves on eating, scratching their heads, touching things and then getting up to take orders, handle cash and food I'm pretty sure they're not following any of the health code rules after seeing this I will never come back to this restaurant again. i will make sure that anybody that ever asked me about this terrible place informed to not eat hear as u may get food poisoning do to unsafe and unclean food handling procedures. Pictures: counter lady got up take an order & bring food to a customer still wearing her gloves not washing hands & picking food out of her teeth & wipes her mouth with a napkin.

This place is in my hood so I thought I should check it out. The space is clean and filled with plenty of tables. My first impression of the menu was...meh. Teriyaki, yakisoba, beef broccoli, pho, etc. I came in curious about the pho but when I arrived, it was clear this is not a pho restaurant. I ended up getting the beef teriyaki and chicken katsu. If you dine in, you get complimentary soup - miso or some other chicken variety today. You go up to the counter and order. Your food will be brought out later with a fork wrapped in a napkin. If you want chopsticks, grab it yourself in near the condiment/beverage/soup/pho vegetable station. There was no soy sauce available for customers. On each table sat salt, pepper, hoisin, and sriracha. Glasses, mugs and soup bowls are available at the station inside a case that seems to emit UV rays. It was cool looking. The beef was a decent cut of meat with not much grizzle. The important thing is that the meat was marinated well. Where I'm from, we marinade meat at least 24 hours. This had really nice flavor. The cabbage salad was basically, cabbage and dressing. Bland and boring. The chicken katsu was fried well. It was a nice, lean cut of chicken. I actually prefer a fattier cut but hey, it's a bit more healthy. The katsu sauce was too vinegary for my taste and a bit off in flavor. Adding sriracha helped. A lot. The miso soup is watered down. It has bits of tofu in it but no seaweed (which I love). It was a decent meal. I'll eat there again but it's not my first choice. Other competitors in the area give larger portions and have a more cohesive menu. read more

Alright! Finally a small time teriyaki place on my daily commute that i can be excited about! (Sorry sunny teriyaki) As far as I know, they're brand new, thus the grand opening sign. Right next to Starbucks. There's FREE soup for dine in. Did I mention its FREE?!? Their menu is large enough so you're not choosing from the same things every time, and their interior is a step up from file floors and second hand tables and chairs. Not classy, but definitely something more. And have you seen their pho bowls? HUGE. Just sayin' I'm a chubby girl, and even I can't down a whole entree in one sitting. I love me some teriyaki but I just can't do it. Look people, the price may not be what aurora wants, but its a teriyaki place they deserve. Lets keep um in business.. Maybe they'll hear our call and cut prices? read more

I would have given 3 stars if it wasn't for the bad service. The food is decent and the servings very large. One order can feed two people especially if you combine it with the free soup which by the way, the employee won't bother telling that to you so just be aware that free soup does come with the meal. The staff member that waited on us was not friendly or helpful. Not a single smile or friendly word. A group of people left and loudly say bye and thank you in a polite and sincere manner. She just turned her back and ignored them. The soup thing really annoyed me. The front of the building says "grand opening" be friendly and helpful and let people know about their options. I asked for a box which I have no problem getting myself but do a little more than just point. That's the only reason I knew about the soup and by this point I was full. The food here is not good enough to make up for the bad customer service. Hope this can be improved. read more

Five stars because this may be the best chicken teriyaki I've ever had. Cleanliness and atmosphere are a three at best but the public health notice on the door says Good. The thinly sliced cabbage is wildly good especially when compared to the limp soggy salad-like thing served with so much teriyaki. Portion size meant that I took home half the order and was full. read more

I really tried not to hate this place! After the first bad meal I should of just not returned but I thought everyone has a bad day. I work close by and it's convenient so I tried again this time trying the chicken teriyaki! It get it back to my work and I'm starving and I open it up it looks amazing and big portion. After 3 bites of the chicken I had to stop eating it. The chicken tasted like dirty socks(for lack of a better term) at least I had the rice. This time I have learned my lesson and won't be back. Please do yourself a favor and pick a better place. read more

It was interesting to experience after driving by this place. We stopped to eat late lunch after a long busy day. The place is a little unnoticeable at first, you might have to carefully look. When we first came in, the place was almost empty. We walked up to the register and started looking at the menu. The menu looked great that we wanted to buy the whole menu. I ordered the spicy chicken, which has a great taste. It came with salad, and rice. The ambiance is good at this place. The table are not super clean though. The downfall about this place is its service. The woman worked there did not recognize us while coming in, and going out as well. There was a complimentary soup that we didnt know about until we pointed at it and asked out of curiosity. I would give this place three stars if it was not for their service. read more

Disgusting, Dirty, & UNSANITARY. Do not eat here you will get sick. The front cashier was handling money and orders as well as making salads. NO GLOVES The "salad mix" was in a colander on top of something else, where proceeded to toss bits of slaw back into the colander from the dirty work space. I should have not even taken the food or eat it, but I did ( not the salad) and It was a mistake. Someone shut this place down read more

Ordered their chicken Katsu & Teriyaki combo through Uber eats. My first time ever ordering food here. And it's the WORST food ever!!!!! The chicken katsu was burnt. It was so hard!! Chicken teriyaki was bland and super dry! Barely had any teriyaki sauce on it. Waste of $13! The salad dressing was gross. It was yellow! Never ordering here again! read more

Got teriyaki and pho delivered and was disappointed with both. The pho's broth and noodles were ok, but the beef was tough and gristly, like what I'd imagine well done tbone at Denny's might taste like. The chicken teriyaki was generously portioned, but very low effort. The white meat chicken strips reminded me of the cheap premade chicken strips you might find with one of those salad kits. The sauce was very underwhelming, but came with lots of fluffy white rice. Two stars for portion sizes and not screwing up the rice. read more

The teriyaki and katsu are both excellent. Generous portions for the price. Worth a visit for sure.

The pho here is just as bad as it is good. I am a huge fan of pho and have tried it all over the state. The other day, it was lunch time and I was in search of some good pho close to my location. Teriyaki and Pho popped up on Yelp so I ran over to check it out. This place has a plethora of Japanese menu items and they all looked very very good. So good, that I almost didn't order the pho but in the end, My craving won out. You get three choices. Beef, chicken or pork. There are no other fancy options like tripe or brisket etc... and there is only one size too. I chose the beef. The first thing that I noticed when my bowl arrived is that they added all of the garnishments to my bowl instead of serving them on the side like every other place that I have gone. They put the lime, rind and all in my bowl. The jalapenos, sprouts and basil stalk and all too. I don't know about you but I normally don't eat the basil stalk and I suppose it's a good thing that I like all of the garnishments because I didn't have to dig them out of the bowl like I did the lime to squeeze and discard the rind. They also add cilantro to the bowl which was different but not bad. The next thing that I noticed was that the broth was dark brown in color. I am used to my pho coming in clear broth so that leads me to wonder if the broth here is prepared in the traditional way or if they use some sort of beef stock or something. Whatever they use, it was still good. The beef however was very tough and overcooked and the noodles were undercooked and super chewy. For a Japanese restaurant, the pho wasn't too bad but it wasn't really good. It served it's purpose and satisfied my craving but If I ever visit again, I think I'll try the teriyaki chicken instead of ordering the pho. Thanks for reading. read more
