This is a small restaurant that offers teriyaki, but also a variety of Asian-American food (things like yakisoba, pho, and orange chicken), but also burgers and fries. I tried the chicken teriyaki, which was pretty standard, though nothing special. While I was there, all kinds of locals came in getting food to go (and a few planning to eat in the restaurant). The most popular thing with locals were the burgers & fries, though many other things were picked up while I was there -- obviously this is a place that has gone beyond their original teriyaki to serve more of what locals crave, whether that's burgers or Chinese or Vietnamese - a sound business decision in a small town. This isn't a gourmet restaurant, and the ambiance is fairly sterile, but they produce the food quickly and have a thriving take-out business. The two anglo employees were helpful, and the eating area in the restaurant probably gets used in the evenings (I was there for lunch, and most orders were for takeout). They have an outdoor seating area (covered in snow when I was there) which probably sees use in warmer months. Given that most restaurants in the area serve pub food or steak, this is a pleasant departure -- and when I want variety in the Methow valley, I'll be going back. read more
