    Wait time was okay but when we got our food the chicken was grossly overdone and burnt, only the rice was enjoyable. First and last time coming here which is a shame because I love teriyaki.

    Humongous upgrades to the decor since the last time we were there. I sincerely hope it was not a change in ownership or that the prior owners got a great deal out of it - they were so sweet. The interior has been redone. Looks great. I think they always had the free tea out - that is still there. We've never gotten anything but the teriyaki here. I tried the yakisoba this time and loved the slightly sweet, gingery take. Probably my favorite yakisoba now. Will continue to be one of our favorite teriyaki spots. Thank you!

    I haven't been to Teriyaki Time in a while, but was surprised to see how open and bright and colorful the place was. We ordered spicy teriyaki, chicken fried rice and chicken katsu. The spicy teriyaki was delicious with the right kick. The katsu was crunchy and juicy at the same time. They also have miso soup for indoor dining. The lady who took order was nice and brought our food out quickly.

    Shady portions! Both are supposed to be large portions. Left is normal chicken teriyaki and right is spicy. Said spicy gets less meat.

    Extremely disappointed with this place. Overpriced, inconsistent portions, and outright dishonest. I ordered two large chicken teriyakis--one spicy, one regular--at $18 each. When I got home, the spicy dish had significantly less meat than the regular one (see photo, spicy on the right), more like a regular portion size. When we called to complain, they insisted we return with the food, which is ridiculous. Then they claimed their spicy teriyaki portions are always smaller, which no one mentioned when I ordered over the phone. How does that make sense when it's the same chicken with different sauce? They took our number promising a manager callback. Even if they comp the meal, the damage is done. They should've offered a discount or charged regular price ($15) instead of $18. It's not just about a few dollars but how customers are treated and how poorly they handled this. They clearly don't value customer service and expect customers won't notice their shady practices.

    Chicken Katsu and Vegetable Yakisoba

    Chicken katsu was delicious - very crispy and the meat was tender. I did half half sauce which one was a more sweet/sour sauce and the other was peanut sauce - highly recommend the peanut sauce. The salad was nice to balance out the fried entree. A super filling meal - great during the cold weather. The vegetarian yakisoba noodles were average in flavor but we appreciated the large portion size. The veggies were fresh in the dish. Was able to get a to go box for our remaining half. Space was clean and staff was friendly. For dine in customers there is complimentary miso soup and hot tea available!

    Everyone from WA was telling me that WA has the best chicken teriyaki so I had to try it out for myself. There's also a teriyaki place in every corner, so there's plenty of options. We ordered two chicken teriyaki plates and one spicy chicken teriyaki level 3 spicy spiciness. Food came out in under than 15 mins and for a small hole in the wall place it was good. The guy at the counter was pretty nice as well, he kept coming over to check in on us and have us try different sauces.

    It's over. It has changed in a bad way. This change is the equivalent of Russell Wilson being traded to Denver, for Seahawks fans (which I'm not). Teriyaki Time used to have a unique and outstanding, recipe unlike any other PNW Teriyaki joint. Now it's just same glob of syrupy-sweet rubbery chicken, as is with all the other places. Some background ... March 1997 I had my first PNW Teriyaki. It was at this Teriyaki Time. "Wow ... this is good ... " I must have said. Upon relocating here many years later, Teriyaki Time on Andover was the go-to. Hell, I took out of towners here to experience the uniquely PNW lowbrow cuisine. Even as recent as last month. What set Teriyaki Time apart from the others was their dry, very subtlety sweet preparation. That really took off when ordering extra-extra spicy, over its nicely well- charred dark meat. See, all the other Teriyaki places just slop an extremely sweet, thick & viscous fluorescent-orange gravy over lightly grilled chicken. It's just gross. And all are basically the same. Now this Teriyaki Time is just as bad as the rest. I guess I'm officially done with PNW strip mall Teriyaki. On this visit I knew something was up. There were two new big screen TVs playing a Mariners game. The menu was now on a huge LED thing. When ordering, the clerk asked "how many stars" I wanted my heat to be - never was asked before. I was as suspicious as a wife smelling strange perfume on her husband's undies. Something putrid was indeed in the air. Now, the clerk was nice and food prepared OK by Health Department standards. And I'm sure their recipe fits with the hegemony of expectations with local consumers. But man, a legend has died. Oh well, first world problems.

    Came in late with my boyfriend 30 minutes before closing. Still had two parties ahead of us so we waited a bit. The staff was so friendly and patient, he asked us if a togo box is ok, brought the food to our table and even checked on us while we ate. I did not expect this kind of hospitality at this late at this type of joint. You could go to a full on restaurant and still not receive this kind of service. Dishes were a little salty for me but my boyfriend loved it. Can't ask for more from a teriyaki place.

    While it didn't stand out as anything special, it gets the job done. The food portions are decent, giving you enough for the price you pay, which is fair for what you get. The flavor was okay, but nothing that would make me rush back. If you're in the area and craving a quick, simple teriyaki meal, it's a solid option, but don't expect anything extraordinary. The food is made to order so expect to wait.

    Beef teriyaki

    Beef teriyaki is tasty and portion is big! I deliberately ordered this item as it comes with steamed rice and green salad. Would recommend. Directly across the street from South center Mall, there is bike parking nearby but I just left my bike on sidewalk in front, it's fine.

My boyfriend and I were done with an event and were looking for a bite to eat pretty late-ish and we saw this place was still open. We got there around an hour before close. When we arrived, it took a little bit to get noticed and the waiter wasn't really the most friendly and was telling us we should order fast as the kitchen was doing a last call. He didn't even tell us how long we had so we just put our order in. We got the two yakitori trio combo (happy hour), takoyaki, scallop taco, beef udon, udon, and iced white peach green tea. We were getting our order fast but it was like one by one which was a bit disorientating. The food was pretty tasty. The iced tea was refreshing and definitely got good flavor. The tofu being cold in the udon was a bit off-putting as well. The yakitori, takoyaki and scallop tacos were absolutely delicious. My boyfriend loved the beef in his beef udon and looks forward to ordering their gyudon. I want to order the oyakodon for sure next time. Hopefully the service and experience will be better next time. Our waiter didn't really check in too much with us but he did refill our water once. The inside is gorgeous and definitely has date night vibes. It is dim-lit but enough lighting to get some pictures. They have tables with different types of seating available for party sizes. They have sauces and spices to put on your yakitori that pair very well.

I don't like spicy tuna that is poke style or large chunks. I appreciate the updated style for the spicy tuna crispy rice which is my favorite thing to get. Service is super friendly and attentive great for take out or lunch specials. So glad they updated some rolls and items and I hope the crispy rice stays forever don't change it, it's perfect! They also have baked rolls. Rolls can be a bit pricy but the quality is good. I had been driving 30 min out of Renton for good sushi so I'm glad I tried this place again. One baked roll I cannot find up here in WA is called Japanese Lasagna, which is a baked California roll with a cream cheese topping melted on top with eel sauce. They have a similar roll with salmon I think and it's pretty good I just prefer the cream cheese topping only without fish. Adding this request here and hoping they can offer it as a special.

Great price and portion for this lunch deal! I ordered the salmon nigiri sampler which comes with 5 pieces of salmon a variety of different cuts and I requested hamachi nigiri as well.

The chewy bounciness at my favorite Japanese locations is almost physics-defying. The texture is simply divine. In comparison, this mouth feel is a cheap knock-off. The broth is not bad. The dashi is not as satisfying, but this was drinkable without being bland or too oily. I was more impressed by the fried sides. The giant potato croquette was excellent. The level of crisp and mushiness of the inside was on-point. The chicken was also nicely crispy and juicy. Of course, the fact that it was dark meat automatically gave it a head start over a lot of American fried chicken filets. The zucchini was good. The pumpkin was a bit dried out, but I think that was partly because I ate it last. Overall, this is quite authentic, from the way the noodles are prepared, to the way customers self-serve the sides. They even have a tray return. There are certain Japanese main-stays that I wanted to see, which are missing. Like, some kind of fish in the tempura line would've been nice. One of the biggest localizations is probably the veggie udon, which is violently un-Japanese looking with its carrots and broccoli and would certainly ruin the mouth feel of a smooth bowl of udon. If there's one plant root you want in an authentic veggie sanuki udon, I'd argue it should be grated daikon radish, which I don't think they have. But well, having too many unfamiliar things might be off-putting. That grated ginger at the end is already dangerous enough lol.

I got mine with the furikake seasoning which was nice and added that umami flavor profile perfectly. You also get to choose dipping sauce and I went with more Katsu sauce, but they have five or six others that looked good. I chose a lychee oolong tea in a bottle from the cooler as my meal drink, but you could also get a fountain drink or upgrade to a milkshake if you prefer All in all, this is a really really cool creative twist on classic burger spot. They also serve some bento boxes and Katsu style hotdog at this Kent location here. The bathroom was really clean as was the lobby and the open kitchen.

My feeling is sometimes people open up restaurants, advertising Wagyu, and then realize how expensive it is and start making cutbacks.
