    1. Chicken Teriyaki
    Steven N.

    I've been coming here for years and it was my favorite teriyaki, but unfortunately the quality has gone down :( this place was easily a 5 star place a couple years back in the day. The chicken still has good grill flavor and comes with the thigh with skin on top with it which is nice for those who like it. The chicken used to be really soft, rotisserie like but it's really chewy now with less soy/ teriyaki flavor. The sauce is more like a gravy than a sauce and i wish it had a little more sweetness or depth to it. There's a hefty amount of chicken though i would say 2-3 chicken thigh's worth. Salad was kind of wet still and not dried all the way so it was not as crunchy as could be and the salad dressing is more mayo heavy which isn't bad or good. Overall i'm sad to see the place decline in quality but i will definitely be back to try again because it always has been my favorite.

    Ordered takeout, 1 chicken teriyaki and 1 chicken teriyaki + gyoza. Gyoza is not pictured because they put 4 in a separate baggy with dipping sauce in a small container. No spicy teriyaki here but hot sauce was extra 45 cents. Teriyaki and salad from here tasted different than I'm used to from other spots but not necessarily bad. I wish the chicken was grilled more for the smoky flavor, chicken cut a little smaller, and I thought it needed a bit more sauce. I thought portions were fine. In terms of ambiance, felt like a family restaurant. Not my fav teriyaki spot but it was nice.

    Sitting on a little corner, there isn't much parking in front or much seating inside, most of the people that ordered seemed to order for to-go. Chicken Yakisoba 3.5/5 - $16.19+tax&tip. Whether eating in or taking out, they provide food in takeout containers. The yakisoba is slightly tangy and mildly sweet due to the Japanese Worcestershire in the sauce, if you aren't use to this then it might be a little off putting. For vegetables, it includes carrots and cabbage which aren't too overcooked. The chicken was cut into small chucks, some a little too small but texture of the larger pieces were bouncy and juicy. I probably wouldn't get the yakisoba again but definitely would want to get the chicken teriyaki. My friends got the chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki and curry beef. I'd also rank them in terms of deliciousness in that order. Juicy chicken atop rice (they ask if you'd like teriyaki sauce on your rice, yes is the way to go!) The beef was fairly tender and tasty but for the price difference, I'd still go for chicken. The curry beef was too salty by itself and needed the rice to mediate, it tasted more like an Indian curry powder, heavier on the turmeric compared to other curries. I've never encountered a complimentary salad from a teriyaki place in WA that I didn't like, this is no exception. Slightly sweet over a handful of lettuce, my complaint there is I wish there was more salad. I'd be back if I was craving chicken teriyaki after the climbing gym but it isn't my ultimate favorite teriyaki

    I'm very disappointed, other locations provide a bigger portion. At this location they use half side of the container for greens, one quarter for the chicken and the other quarter for the rice. At other locations or other teriyaki businesses, they serve the rice balls on one half and the chicken on the other half. The greens always go "on the side" inside a small container. What is similar...which is very odd, it's the price...$14 - $16. Also they grilled the chicken WITH SKIN...just awful.

    I felt like some teriyaki....and saw this place so I stopped on by. I ended up buying a chicken teriyaki and a lemonade. They don't have a lot of drink choices just FYI. I was greeted and helped right away. The lady was nice and we ended up talking about the Super Bowl. It's small inside and a little bit of seating. The chicken teriyaki and salad is good. If you're in the area....stop bye!

    Lunch

    Finally! Decided to get lunch at this long established teriyaki place on Rainer Street. A few Instagram foodies I follow who showcase Seattle eateries have recommended this spot for teriyaki and more. Small family run business with excellent vibes. All orders made to go. Super friendly service with a smile. You can eat inside or outside at the several tables. If you eat there it is tight as it is small. I noticed a small area with chairs and no tables. Most likely for people waiting for to go orders. I ordered a combination plate with teriyaki chicken and vegetable tempura. The rice is very sticky. The chicken is charred from being grilled and covered in a teriyaki sauce. The skin left on. Not complaining, I loved it. The side salad had a white sauce that had a delicious sesame flavor. The vegetable tempura was ok, maybe to go it loses some crispiness. But the batter was flavorful and I ate all of it! Dipped in the sauce it definitely satisfied my craving. Parking lot here is small but manageable. Street parking nearby looks tricky. It's worth it. Nice price point too for the amount of food. Do it! Come here. Eat well. SYOY!

    Passed by this many place too many times to not finally try it out. Old and run down but food was pretty great. Good standard teriyaki. Could've been grilled a little more (needs that char flavor) but it was still pretty solid. I also liked that they put teriyaki sauce on the rice for us too. The rice, however, was definitely gummy, and not the good rice that has nice flavor, more cheap and flavorless tasting. It was also pretty expensive compared to my local spots, especially since we asked for extra meat and I wouldve liked the meal to not cost over 25 dollars since teriyaki was always meant to be a cheap meal. Oh well. I'd go back for the solid food but there's better priced meals around.

I ordered it with grilled eel and after the original dashi broth was added into the rice, the dish was just perfect! I definitely recommend trying this dish! I would go back just for it!

Pork belly don -- I like the flavor of this one more - balanced. Yaki shoyu butter -- good and very buttery. Tuna mayo onigiri -- not as good as the other two but still decent. It was very rice heavy though, so I felt like it was monotonous at some point. Overall, it was a good place, if you like rice you will love this place

Decent portions of rice lathered in sweet curry with the protein of your choice - not too shabby. A bit pricey in my opinion, but it does scratch that itch. My wife and I ordered both the pork and chicken cutlets with the curry and rice. Presentation of the food was on point, and there's enough for both the rice partnership and the cutlets for dipping purposes. The sweet and warm Japanese curry felt like a welcomed hug on a cold and brisk May afternoon. The biggest complaint was actually the cutlets - despite a nice crunch to it, something felt a little off. Like the cutlets were a bit old or were previously reheated or something. I had to drench each slice with curry to fully enjoy the meal. At the end of the day, two regular-sized curry dishes actually made us quite full and content. We left feeling stuffed and warm - the perfect combination for a chilly spring day. I would say this was a bit pricey for my liking, but what isn't pricey these days in this economy? Solid 4 stars!

If you're a fan of Red Bowl in Financial District, this place has a similar vibe with its approach to rice bowls. Having been here twice on different weeks, I think this will become one of my go-to places in the area when I'm craving fresh seafood on a weekend south of downtown. LOGISTICS Parking is convenient for Georgetown area, given they have a dedicated lot for customers of businesses in the area. Entering in, you order through the kiosk and if you're dining in, you can seat yourself and they'll bring the order to you. The space is small for larger groups but if you're 4 people or less, generally there are tables available on off peak hours (at least what we observed Sat/Sun). Ordering happens at the kiosk, which you can choose for takeout or to dine in. Keep in mind there are some items available for dine-in only (ex. udon or seared salmon bowls), but if you plan on doing takeout anyways you can order online or call ahead for pickup. Note - they do close at 2:30 pm but re-open at 4:30 pm. So long as you get your order in by 2:30 pm they'll still service you... which was nice since the last two times we came in around 2:00 PM. FOOD First off, they have nice nice presentation both in how the food is arranged and the bowls they use when dining in. From the ceramic/decorative bowls to the trays they use... it's the little things that add to the dining experience and make you think a business cares about its food. (Note: there was one time we had initially ordered togo but decided to eat in person; so they kept the food in plastic bowls for one of my photos.) In every bowl we had during our two visits, the rice was excellent! We've had some terrible rice at other donburi places before where it can be too overcooked or too mushy. Fortunately their seasoned rice was a good texture and tasty to eat on its own. The seafood was also excellent for the price / quality - fresh tasting with a melt-in-your mouth texture. Volcano Bowl: Spicy salmon + spicy crab salad w/ masago - despite the description it wasn't too spicy (siracha mayo) but it went really well with the rice, like a deconstructed sushi roll. I liked mixing in some wasabi to give it a stronger kick. Aburi Sake Bowl (seared salmon bowl): This is only available to order for dine-in; if you love salmon... I would recommend this one. Seared salmon is delicious seafood umami. I liked how the salmon had the right amount of fattiness too. Chirashi Bowl: If you like variety, then this is an excellent bowl to try a little bit of everything. I was amused that they also included unagi (I don't think I see that in most chirashi bowls). Even the shrimp, which is usually my least favorite part of chirashi bowls, tasted good with a slight sweetness. OVERALL Awesome place and a good location for the area given there's parking available. Price was just right for the quality (I'm amused how much cheaper good seafood is here in Seattle compared to the Bay Area) and the staff were really friendly. There are also two excellent bouldering gyms nearby (Castle Climbing Club and Momentum)... so if you're looking to recharge after a climbing session, I would highly recommend coming here!
