We sorely miss what Seattle teriyaki was before most of the restaurants started shifting toward serving sushi. We used to eat at Teriyaki Time several times a month and now we eat there only a few times a year, and only when the teriyaki craving is overpowering. The amount of chicken teriyaki is 1/4 to 1/3 what teriyaki joints used to serve. The rice is always a mushy clump, like they're scraping the overcooked rice off of the bottom of the rice cooker, and they don't give you sweet and sour sauce for your egg roll unless you remember to ask for it when you pick up your takeout. While the portion sizes have shrunk and quality has suffered, prices have gone way up. Oh, and they've also started shoving all of the food into one small container that contains mostly rice, including the gyoza, so forget it if you are craving it crispy. We're sad that it's so difficult to get good Seattle-style teriyaki now, when Teriyaki Time used to be so good! read more

We really liked our food! Got it to-go. Chicken Teriyaki, Salmon Mango Roll and a Tempura Roll. Fresh and delicious. Friendly staff. Got our food promptly. read more

Food has gone down hill dramatically in the last couple of years. Lacking flavor, main dish doesn't come out hot, and the salad doesn't come out cold!! read more

Delicious every time! We love the food, cute restaurant and lovely service! Thankful we have them in Anacortes!

This is not fine dining, but I was looking for simple chicken teriyaki, and they did not disappoint. The portion was large, piping hot, chicken was cooked perfectly with tender inside and seared edges from the grill. Sauce is not goopy cornstarch laden gel. Just what we were looking for as we ran to catch the ferry. Also, the sushi chef made me want to come back and try the sushi. PS- getting to the parking lot is ridiculously difficult if you do not approach from the west(heading east) on tenth. read more

Before meeting my partner, I had never been to Teriyaki Time but when she introduced me to it - it was love at first sight. I ALWAYS order a California Roll with Spicy Mayo, and it had been normal- I'd order, there would be a cup on the side with my sauce, however the last time I went, I had some trouble. I'm an arm amputee and while I can use chopsticks to grab and dip, sometimes my wrist gives out. I don't think they knew this but we went recently (my third time there) and the sauce was beautifully laid out on the sushi for me. There's a large chance that they just did it because they are trying new plating methods or whatnot but even then, their service and attention to detail is TREMENDOUS. I 100% recommend this place, their food is always delicious and they are always quick with everything. read more

Always enjoy everything I order here. Have tried several different dishes. Soups, salads, teriyaki, sushi. Always good.

I love this place! I have never had a bad experience. Good sushi for a good price! Staff are always kind and attentive

We came for the ramen . There's not many restaurants that serve ramen so when a friend of friend sent a picture of her ramen we immediately decided that's where we were having dinner. We also ordered slalom teriyaki, sweet and sour chicken and chicken fried rice. Everything was great for each of our families cravings. read more

They yakisoba is too greasy for my taste but I love their unagi, dragon, and rainbow rolls. Very casual ambiance and so-so service that doesn't exactly jive with their rising prices. read more

I ordered 5 star General Tso and it was tasteless. Even my friend who has low tolerance to heat said it had NO heat. The vegetable fried rice was also tasteless and no flavor and not much vegetables. It looked 95% rice. read more

Teriyaki time was a great place to get some tasty large portions to fill you up. There was speedy service and very little wait for your food as well. I had the chicken teriyaki and gyoza combination lunch. The gyoza was great! So tasty. I enjoyed that the most out of my plate for sure. The chicken teriyaki was also good but I do prefer my teriyaki to have more of a saucy quality to it. These were a bit dry for me, personally. But still good. And the portion of rice was great. The salad was not a throwaway either. Next time I am visiting Anacortes I think I will try the sushi here. It seems to be popular among other reviewers. As for others looking to try it out, just remember if you come here to come hungry! read more

We've been going to Teriyaki Time Anacortes since it first opened over 20+ years and never had a bad meal until today. Very disappointed that you now pack 3/4 of the containers with rice with smaller portions of meat; not to mention the containers are much smaller too. The way the meat was prepared is not how you've prepared it in the past and for as long as we can remember. The spicy sauce was HORRIBLE. Tasted like you used ketchup. Not worth $75. Very disappointed and way overpriced; especially with such smaller portions of meat. Guess the over abundance of rice is to compensate for less meat. We will not be visiting Teriyaki Time Anacortes again. read more

We are always very happy with the food and take-out service that we get at Teriyaki TIme. It is our 'go to' take out on the way to the ferry. Portions are very large, chicken is great, nice salad and rice. What more could I ask for? I love their Teriyaki! read more

Very good food! Also, if you order something to go & they make a mistake on your order (occasionally they give us the wrong order), they do make up for it either right then or next time (your choice). It's nice they realize their mistakes when you call them (of course, another customer most likely got your order). read more

One of the worst meals we've had in a long time. Shoe leather tough chicken, tasteless rice and tasteless won ton soup. We've lived in Japan for a few years and was looking forward to this meal and for the price we excepted a different outcome! If we could have seen the meal before ordering just by the looks along we would have walked away without ordering. Not sure if they lost their chef, but they certainly lost their way! read more

The sushi chef is a master food artist! We love the crunchy sushi rolls and the shrimp tempura appetizer. They never disappoint! read more

Didn't take a photo of the beautiful dragon roll with "crab", avocado, shrimp tempura and topped with eel. Generous portion, but the shrimp tempura was not freshly cooked. Likely cooked the day before and zapped in the microwave. Miso soup was good. read more

The food was amazing. I recommend beef udon and Seattle rolls. The whole restaurant looks exactly like the restaurants in Japan (the narrow entrance, the kitchen being open for the customers to see the staff working on their food). The service was okay. read more

We tried the avocado bomb, miso soup and the poki salad. All was very good. There is a new owner and new staff. We felt very taken care of. read more

Sushi is medium grade comparing to the big city. Need more variety of fish such as flute, mackerel and red snapper. Tempera being used in the roll should be more crispy instead of the pre-cooked that taste mushy or wet. Service is great. Not much privacy when dinning inside. read more

Horrible. Don't go here. Paid $40 and got a cheap chinsy salad and basic teriyaki. They didn't off to do anything about it. Never going here again. read more

While my husband's dish of spicy chicken was good, mine of broccoli chicken was not. The chicken was chewy, stringy, overcooked and appeared to be ends from other pieces and broccoli just this side of uncooked. Cannot recommend. read more

Being an Anacortes fam, we are a house divided. I'm a Happy Wok gal, and the hubs is a Teriyaki Time fan. Now listen Linda... Teriyaki Time is good. Don't mistake our families divisiveness. It's good. Their sushi may actually be better. BUT it's also the size of your face. Some may argue that automatically makes it the winner. But friends, bigger isn't always better... specifically with sushi. Sushi is good because they manage to cram a bunch of crazy shit into a perfect chop stick sized roll of 'yes sir I'll have 80 more.' So WHY in the name of the many faced gods would you make it too big to shove down your pie hole???! I look like a rabid animal trying to eat here. Taking bites out of my rolls like a peasant, trying to find a way to successfully pierce through the wrapper. All the while my fingers and chop sticks trying to find a way to manage this nightmare in progress... GET OUTTA HERE. I wanna taste all those flavors when they marry, not when they divorce. I know, I'm sounding petty aren't I? But I can't help it. When you see a sushi roll in front of you that even Andre the Giant couldn't fit into his mouth you know you're in for a fight. So there you have it. This place is good. It's tasty. It's priced to please. But it'll make you feel like a little insecure bitch. Sometimes in life, pleasure is worth the pain. Teriyaki Time is the case in point. Good luc read more

I would give less than 0 stars. I stopped in to pick up a to go order for my husband for sushi. He has never ordered from here before and never again. The restaurant is run down and the kitchen is disgusting as you can see it when you are at the register. While I was sitting down waiting for the order in the completely empty restaurant at 1:15 (should have been a clue) I saw what appeared to be the cook? Slurp from the industrial ladle twice from the pot that was cooking on the stove. He slurped out of the ladle and then put the ladle back into the pot- twice that I saw. I even got up after first slurp to make sure it was an actual cook pot that could be for customers and it was. Then he slurped again and put the ladle back in to stir. DISGUSTING and HORRIFYING! My husband is from CA from the 80s where they didn't require food permits in restaurants so he has guts of steel and is going to try the sushi anyway. I did see that prepared fresh by the female workers although there was an odd use of the microwave at one point. Again, no one else in the "restaurant ". At your own desperate risk... read more

Consistently delicious. Great with the knife, yummy food to go! Very thankful they were open on the 4th of July, I needed sushi for my family. read more

The food was good, but the woman on the phone was beyond rude. She sounded like an older woman. I placed my order to go, which included a spring roll. I asked "could I please add sweet and sour sauce for the..." and she's completely cuts me off saying "I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW" and then hangs up on me. My jaw literally dropped and I just stared at my phone. Fast forward to picking up the food, I run in to grab it, get home and oh? NO S&S SAUCE. Thanks for the complete lack of any sort of base line standard for customer service. The restaurant had one occupied table and wasn't busy. I'm sorry, but I will never give a restaurant my business if they treat their customers like this. There are plenty of other restaurants where I can take my money and not feel like I am bothering them by asking for a sauce packet. read more

The food is ok here and we have spent lots of money ordering sushi over the years. The previous owners sold off the business and has been under new ownership for 1-2 years. There is a gal that tends the phone and the register here who is very unpleasant. You call and the first thing she says "you do know this is Teriyaki Time Anacortes?". Yes I say. Then I ordered Nirigi but I didn't enunciate correctly to her liking. She said "hello mam, and proceeded to be confused and irritated ". I look at my husband for guidance while on speaker phone because he's always ordered this way. She rudely educated me how it I should say Nirigi. This has happened twice now. Just a note to owners, there is a reason your restaurant was empty when I picked up my last order. Consider educating your counter girl not to be so rude. She seems like she hates her job and it shows!! read more

Walked in while we were doing laundry close by. The person being the counter was very disinterested. They have wonderful signs of interesting food, but when we asked, we were told they don't serve several of them. We didn't even bother to come back. read more

At first just the placement of the restaurant gave me pause, putting this place next to a messuage and nail parlor is by no means doing this place justice. At first it looked like the powers that be just needed to fill a gap in town and there just so happened to be a restaurant that wanted to come into town, but maybe "they" had no real idea about just how great the food here really is. Going to trying their food from a comment a friend mentioned to me at least four years ago and taking my family there again for the last few years, all because of this friend telling me what they thought of the place all those years ago. The best parts of the story, for me, is that there food has stayed at peak levels, with wait staff turnover throughout the years, the food had been almost the same for all those years. I have a love of infused food for a long time now, all because of a friend's word about it. The sushi seems to be always on display for the costumer, I can only wish it could be the "catch of the day." But, with a cold drink on tap, it almost makes up for the ladder. Besides the fact that almost no restaurant in town cannot or does not take advantage of the fishermen just down on the docks a stones throw away this would be the closest to a fresh catch for the tourist & townie alike. The restaurant, whenever we come in, is either really busy or a group or two eating but almost never is there no one in there eating. I cannot say that the wait staff are on point all the time but the chef and manager make up for it. Lets not forget the sushi chef behind his open kitchen! He can be a site to see after an order comes to his side of the kitchen, and most days he does not mind a few onlookers. So next time your in Anacortes come by, just past safeway and before the end of the island where Dekota creek works on some of the massive ships and, yes, even a few boats from time to time. read more

First visit: solid chicken teriyaki and spicy chicken. Came with little salad and side of sauce. Yum! And at a fair price! Second visit: no little salad and no sauce. We didn't realize this until we were 10 minutes away, opening the bag to eat. I called and asked, and got a half-assed sorry. I asked if I had been charged the full price. "Yup." I think that's lame, and it could've been easily remedied with a warning when we ordered or even picked up. It's a pandemic...we can forgive supply chain issues! But a warning would've been appreciated. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. My first time here. I ordered the chicken teriyaki, but did not want rice with it. I asked the lady what kind of rice it was and she said fried rice. I said well OK I guess I'll try it. Another lady packaged up my order and brought it to the counter. She said did you have the chicken? I said yes, with the fried rice. She said no! It's white rice! And screamed white rice! I said that is not what I ordered, I ordered the fried rice. The other lady showed me a calculator with 3.79 and said "this is with fried rice"... i would've just got no rice and all salad. Anyway, She threw it in a bag and shoved it at me and walked away. This was some of the most rude customer service I've had in years! I will definitely not be back! UPDATE: The owner contacted me immediately after this review saying that I could come back for another teriyaki. That was very kind. I won't be back for how i was treated by the two ladies. It wasn't about the rice and not being what she had told me... it was the rudeness and the shoving my food at me. You can be "understaffed" etc, but no room for rudeness. read more

We entered from the back door where the parking was. We had to walk by 3 large steamed rice pots on tables and boxes that were on the floor in the hallway. We got seated right away from a pleasant server/host. Our server spoke very little English. My daughter asked for a side of eel sauce for her sushi roll but she miss understood and ordered what looked like potstickers. We kept them and they were good. In fact the food is amazing at this place. However, we were not asked about drinks and were brought water about 10 minutes after we sat. When we asked if they served any alcohol, we were told no. Looking around at all the tables, they all only had water, not even a single table with soda. When the server came by she was carrying 2 water glasses with ice. She saw our water glasses were low so she used those glasses in her hand to refill them. I looked across the restaurant and I saw water pitchers on a counter. Everyone ordered a dish except my one daughter, she ordered a roll. Unfortunately she got her roll about 10 minutes before the rest of the food came out (there were 5 of us total). She thought the food was coming out and ended up eating her roll before we got served. They should have been brought it out all together. Next time we will order to go and enjoy their great food at home. read more

I recently went to Teriyaki Time for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised by the huge selection of choices on the menu. I had avoided eating here because I thought it only had teriyaki. I ordered the healthy vegetarian sushi and the vegetable ramen. First, the sushi. Not a fan. At all. The sushi roll would not stay together. It had an odd combination of veggies including lettuce and there was some sweet sauce on the side (the kind of sauce sometimes served with spring rolls). It was easily the worst vegetarian sushi I've ever had. As for the ramen, it was delicious. I ordered the spicy option and it was definitely spicy. Next time I would order it without the large amount of egg, but that is a personal preference. The flavor of the broth was excellent and it's the best ramen I've found (for vegetarians) in the North Sound. read more
