10/10 teriyaki spot in Tacoma, Washington I went to Teriyaki Kitchen yesterday and loved it so much that I brought my grandmother back today for more. The food is beyond good seriously some of the best teriyaki I've had in some years , Everything looked stunning when they handed it over (the presentation is on point! and the flavors were perfectly balanced. What really stood out was the service. The staff works super fast and efficient we barely waited at all and they were incredibly nice and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in what they do. If you're craving teriyaki, this place is a must-try. We'll definitely be back again soon! Highly recommend. read more

Ok, I tried their Beef Fried Rice and liked it a lot. Good portions. There was a Thai place in Arizona that I ordered Beef Fried Rice from all the time about 25 years ago and it has always been my base reference for great fried rice. This place comes pretty close to that. read more

I purchased 2 meals yesterday (chicken teriyaki and spicy chicken teriyaki. One hour later I was in the bathroom absolutely sick for an hour before going to bed I'll. Today, I returned to the restaurant to simply ask for a refund. After explaining my experience, not only did she refuse to honor my request, she challenged me demanding a doctor's note. No attempt from her to apologize at any time. Today, I am filing a formal complaint with the city on food quality and food safety concerns. I don't recommend this restaurant. read more

Everything is cooked with love at this place this is where me and the bros would go to, from we were kids, till now I'm 24. The service is nothing but love try it out. read more

Decent teriyaki. Nothing too special. They were polite and friendly. The portions were a bit on the smaller side. Worth checking out if you're in the area. Side note - the menu prices have increased since some of the menu photos were posted on Yelp. read more

Guys I tell you best fried rice in the game along with great quality food! Loved the customer service such a wholesome environment

I've been on a roll with landing in good teriyaki restaurants lately and Teriyaki Kitchen is no exception! When I went here I got their basic chicken teriyaki dish for supper and really enjoyed it a lot! In addition to that I got some egg drop soup which was very satisfying as well. Service was very quick and friendly and we were out the door in no time to dine on our teriyaki supper at home! read more

I've lived in Tacoma for 4 years now. We still haven't found any decent Asian food. We ordered from Teriyaki Kitchen so we didn't have to cook. We ordered Beef Bugugi, Chicken Teriyaki, Egg rolls, and Gypzas. The Bugogi was very tender and flavourful. Also I came with fried rice with was the best I found a round this area. Teriyaki chicken (Normally Not my favorite) was So Tender and not over cooked, and very flavourful too. I'm impressed the flavor, and the care of how they prepare each dish. Real Egg rolls, and crispy Gyozas. I have been back and Teriyaki Kitchen didn't disappoint. I highly recommend Tertyaki Kitch (a hole in the wall on the Eastside) for quality and flavor . read more

If I could give no star I would! I had a really bad experience here. It's near the gym and I just finished a great workout and wanted to try this place out. I love teriyaki and some yakisoba. I ordered the veggie yakisoba and the Kung pao chicken. When I got home the order was wrong, I instead got fried rice with chicken, beef and pork! That wasn't what I ordered! My wife can't eat pork so I called the store and told the man who took my order that he gave me the wrong item, not even an apology but he also said "ITS YOUR FAULT!" How is that my fault? He said that he called out what he was putting in the bag and that I went over and took the item without checking myself. He later then said oh yah you order the veggie yakisoba, can you pick it up? I told him I'm already home and it's inconvenient for me to drive back to pick up the mistake he made! The he goes again and say it was my fault! Wait..... that made me very upset! I work in the F&B industry and I know for a fact even though it's the customers fault YOU DO NOT SAY THAT DIRECTLY! He then said the fired rice was more expensive then the one I originally bought! Then he proceed to say that I should have checked first! I answered back and said listen here you put the food in the bag! You looked at me and gave me the sign that this was mine! The king pao chicken was there but not the veggie yakisoba! He then said ok you come pick up next time! I was done arguing! Not even a apology nothing Never again come back here! Destroyed my appetite This business needs to be better in how they treat their customers read more

Teriyaki Kitchen - Sweet & Sour Chicken with fried rice ! - Japanese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I have been going to teriyaki kitchen since 2005. This is one of my favorite go to for a quick takeout everything tastes fresh and their restaurant is very clean and friendly staff. read more

I originally did not have an intention of coming here but it just happened to be right next to H&R Block and I was hungry AND I was craving Teriyaki so it was perfect. I was super excited to dig into my food and whatnot but... it didn't really go so well. I noticed right away it is a small Korean family owned business that has their daughter working up front while the parents work in the kitchen. She was working alone and there were quite a bit of customers in the tiny cramped space and a few people in line to order togo. I never thought, it would take 20 minutes to order my food and have it come out... just so I have 5 minutes to scarf it all down... [I am a super slow eater as well].... I didn't really want to take it home either so I tried to eat as much as I can in literally 5 minutes. I even had to stare at the clock as I took each bite. That was stressful. I mean doing taxes was supposed to be stressful enough. I don't know how I ate that food without getting indigestion of eating too fast. Other than that, for the food... I ordered the Lunch Special Chicken Teriyaki I think it was $5.95 which is quite a large portion for it's price. I liked that part. Portion is good. The teriyaki sauce was a bit salty... so I couldn't do my usual mixing with the rice. I just ate what I could. It was decent. I can't say it's one of the best teriyaki I have had though. I will come again next time if I am in the area. read more

Yummy !!! And staff is amazing !' Offered feee soup and was so fast with food we ordered best Gyoza in town

I used to really like this place. But I've always had an issue with the young Asian man's attitude at the front desk. I'm a steady paying customer, but he never greets me or says hello or thank you. As soon as an older Caucasian man walks in his whole demeanor changes and he's extremely nice to him. I just don't get it. On top of this, I keep finding weird things in my food. I asked for vegetarian tofu teriyaki, and in the sauce there are little pieces of chicken. So beware if ur vegetarian. Lastly, I found a metal wire in my salad this last time which really messed me up. They have tons of issues with the health department. Just Google it. Until they can figure it out, I'm done with this place. read more

Good service fast and efficient nice people and very clean to eat I recommend this restaurant read more

Teriyaki Kitchen - a man standing at the counter - Japanese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I'll say first of all that my wife and I come here monthly. We've never had a single problem. It's hands down the best teriyaki in the area. My go-to is the General Tso's chicken, and my wife adores the orange chicken. We've tried a few other things, always spot on. We're also a big fan of the egg rolls, they're really well made, full of flavor, and not overly greasy. They've got a pleasant crunch, but the wrapping is still soft and chewy. Service-wise, the gentleman working the front counter is super friendly and patient. I also met one of the gentleman who cooks, and he's very friendly. I had an issue with the store closing early without it being posted. He explained the situation and was very friendly and understanding. And it never hurts that food is nearly always ready in 5-10 minutes. I'll keep coming back! read more

This is a great Hole-in-the-wall place. Yeah the atmosphere isn't the greatest but the food was fantastic. On top of that, they've got complimentary soup. AMAZING EGG-ROLLS! read more

Teriyaki Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I come here for lunch often but this is absolutely ridiculous that they charging for extra Teriyaki Sauce!!!! Yet they have other "free" sauces. I won't be returning. They were going to charge extra to run the card. Very confusing . read more

Our family loves their food! One of their best little known secrets is that the Egg Flower Soup is complimentary when you are eating in and you can have a bowl while waiting for your takeout order. Portion sizes are large and you can phone in your order ahead of time. Everything is cooked while you wait and be sure to ask for one of their punch cards. Buy 10 meals and get your 11th one for free! read more

My husband and I love to come here. There is another teriyaki place downtown that we go to, but I prefer this one. The sauces are the perfect consistency. They give you great sizes so it ends up being two meals for me. I would recommend this place to everyone. The picture is Chicken Katsu and comes with a side salad. read more

Teriyaki Kitchen - Japanese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The interior of this restaurant is kind of run down. Chairs and tables are rinky-dink, wobbly, etc. But, if you can get past the decor, such as it is, and concentrate on the food, you won't be disappointed...unless you're just generally a grouchy, complaining idiot! I don't know what happened to Rustin B. but I've gone to this place three times since my wife and I moved to Tacoma in July 2015 and we have loved everything we ordered. The portions are huge, if you ask them to make sure the vegetables are tender, they will make sure of it! (I can't stand nearly raw broccoli in my Asian foods). The guys that work there are bend-over-backwards friendly and the food is just amazing. Some Teriyaki places salt the hell out of their dishes and make the food nearly inedible. Not so, Teriyaki Kitchen. Everything is salted just right and I'm pretty sure that they could take out some of the salt if one was to request that? Our food came pretty quickly, for a place that was packed. And customers do get to enjoy the free homemade soup and/or hot tea while waiting for meals to come out of the kitchen. I don't have any complaints except they ought to relocate the soda machine so that customers don't have to lean over bags and boxes of to-go orders. Other than that, whatever food you usually enjoy at Teriyaki restaurants, you're sure to find something great here. read more

Honestly it was fast but not the best teriyaki i had got the chicken and was not so good it smell like egg i dont knw wether it was the chicken or the plate but will not come again read more

Amazing fried rice! Always fast and very nice. My husband gets the teriyaki and I get pork fried rice. The miso soup is awesome too!

Best meal in the area , staff is great and the owner one hell of a guy , loved this place from the FIRST DAY it opened and it's never changed , always a meal that worth the time to go there take out is outstanding , read more

Best Teriyaki and Chinese in the area IMO. The service is awesome and they're always willing to work with you on special requests. The ability to substitute chicken breast on the chicken dishes is good to me, since I'm not a fan of dark meat chicken. If you order to go, check your order before you leave. They sometimes get mixed up. read more

I have been going to Teriyaki Kitchen for about 8 years it has been consistantly a great place and the free soup when you sit in to eat is great! They are always friendly and food is very good. read more

Do not eat here! This place is garbage, i got three different meals and each one had a rotten vegetable. Plus the subway next stores sweet onion chicken teriyaki is better japanese food. read more

This place is super cheap and consistent with their food. I have never had a bad meal and I have been coming for years.

When i walked in i was treated with disdain. When white people walked in they were greeted with cheer. The portions are small for the price. And i have a problem with my food being done in less than three minutes. Not a place for the brown skin. read more

The food took FOREVER. Dont come during your lunch, you wont make it back to work in time. 30+ mins to wait for a #1 lunch special is unacceptable for mediocre food. Will never come back. read more

There was a small teriyaki place where I grew up that I compare every teriyaki place to and I'm so thankful that Teriyaki Kitchen is pretty equally comparable. Tried their teriyaki first and while the sauce it's a bit thicker then I'm used to the flavor was spot on and the grilled char on the chicken was incredible. The next time we tried the orange chicken and sweet & sour; my old hood has them beat on the sweet & sour, but not by much and the orange chicken...oh my...I love that you can actually taste legit oranges. And the egg rolls...the thing I am most picky about and they nailed it. Love the hint of pepper and the cabbage was flavorful...nomnomnom! read more

There is nothing special about this place. Service was not friendly, chicken lacked flavor, the sauce tasted like something from a jar and not house made and the gyoza were super squishy. Its Tacoma, there are too many Teriyaki places around to settle for a 2 star joint. read more

The teriyaki isn't great. And as someone else pointed out something is very off about the sauce. Kobo across the street is a lot better. Haven't tried any traditional Chinese dishes though, that could be their saving grace. It looks like that's what mostly gets ordered by others when I go there. read more

CRAP!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE, ALL AROUND, CRAP!!! Bad customer service, with a obvious disregard for wanting to do better. The food was gross especially the teriyaki sauce or should I say Teriyaki gravy. We ended up throwing our food away. Will never go back and you should never go. The only reason why it got one star from us is because we had to do something in the ratings in order to post. It doesn't even deserve one. Yeah I do read more

Moving back to the east side, I needed to find my local teriyaki spot...this place is my new go to teriyaki on the drive home. The portion is generous, they use dark meat, making the meat juicy and delicious. Nice price and they have great kimchee. read more

Everytime I've ever been here it's great. The fried rice has a very good smoky flavor. The teriyaki chicken is the best cooked I've ever had. The chicken Katsu is cooked with a light a flavorful crust. Good stuff. Definitely recommend going here! read more
