Asia Ginger Teriyaki

This used to be the go to teriyaki spot but with the new owners some things have changed, not for the better. The chicken now has more burnt pieces - maybe the chicken is recooked for speed now? They kept most of the sauces at the table but got rid of the red chili sauce for siracha - big no, no for a teriyaki spot. They got rid of the water station and now trying to force you to buy bottled water. And worst, they increased the prices, dramatically. The old owners had the go to Teriyaki Bowl with stir fried veggies for $7...now, that same item is $13. There's not that much inflation, sheesh. They did get a new electronic menu board, if that gets people excited?Sorry to say, but with the lower quality food and the higher prices, I'd rather walk a bit further to the other teriyaki options in the area.

Loved this place. The spicy chicken was truly excellent, and a great portion size for the price. Overall very fast and efficient too, perfect for a quick lunch pickup.

We ordered teriyaki pork. Felt more like we got beef jerky. Very dry and thin cut and flavorless like it had been cooked long ago sat around then and microwaved too long. Used to come here years ago and the line was always long. Not any more. No wait for the dry pork beef type leather. Very disappointing. Friendly service. Steamed rice was fine. I could not finish my beefpork jerky portion. Bleh.

Would come again. Food is tasty and price is right. Photo is of order T-1 (chicken) and T-2 (beef). Pros: friendly staffClean Lots of optionsTasty foodGreat price Cozy inside Fast service Cons: carpet inside

There was a change in ownership.The new owners have made some changes in their efforts to revamp.The kitchen and dining area have been renovated, and do look better.They simplified the menu (removed some items), no more crab rangoon, ect :(The previous owner would heap the condiments on you and unfortunately this is not so with the new ownership. I have to tell/ask/beg for any extra teriyaki sauce, every time. Same thing with the salad dressing. I suppose my biggest disappointment with the change in ownership is the salad that comes with the entrees. This used to be in a separate container- that was nice, and now they just put the salad in there with the meat. This make the salad hot and limp by the time you get to eat it, also makes the meat entrée cold/soggy.I am giving them 5 stars because the food is still good and you do get a good value for your money here.

The lady managing the front is lightning fast! She will take your order, pack the food of other patrons, answer the phone for call in order, while waiting for the credit card machine to process your payment. Talk about efficient! I really advise businesses to come here and check out to see how they got the flow down. The cooks seem to get the process down too. The wait for food is pretty decent. They always exceed my expectations. If you want a quick lunch, call your order in. It will be waiting for you by the time you arrive. My go-to spot when I'm limited on time and want something quick and easy.I usually get the chicken bowl and it comes with steamed vegetables, white rice (you can choose brown if you want to be healthy) and a decent amount of chicken. The chicken can be kinda dry sometimes. All of this for less than $7. You won't find that price anywhere in the area. What I really love about this place is that they use quality containers and utensils. Kudos on that. The thing I hate more at restaurants is when they use flimsy paper containers where the food soak through. =/ Don't forget to get the free soup, usually miso or hot and sour soup, that's available to the left of the register.

Just came in for the first time since the remodel and new ownership. The remodel looks really nice and the food was still fast. The spicy chicken seems to be substantially more spicy than it was before, which was an unwelcome surprise for me but some people might like. Someone at the next table got the chicken gyoza and it looked great.

As far as Teriyaki in Seattle goes, there is a fair standard. You have the combos, with choice of meat(s), white rice, and a side salad. I usually go for chicken and beef/pork. The cuts of meat here are great. They are sometimes a little undercooked during the lunch rush, but still delicious. The portions are awesome. I'm a little underwhelmed by the teriyaki sauce included (flavor, not quantity). But I really want to talk about the salad. This place does the salad differently from any other teriyaki spot in the city, and I'm not liking it. Pickle on my salad? What is this dressing? No, the salad is no good here, and I really wish it were good. The standard Seattle teriyaki salad; ice berg lettuce, maybe a little shredded cabbage and carrot, with a that light mayo/vinegar dressing (you know the dressing I mean). Whatever Asia Ginger Teriyaki uses for their dressing, it's not the same, and that is most of the reason for the rating.The service is quick. But then there is really not place to stand/sit while you are waiting for your meal.I have a minor complaint about the to-go packaging. The have a finely tuned system to take orders, and package them to go out the door, and it is a sight to see. Very efficient. However, I don't use sriracha on my teriyaki, and don't need the two small plastic containers of it. I appreciate the two medium containers of teriyaki sauce, but maybe I would like a third. I wouldn't say anything if the containers were compostable, but these are plastic containers and I hate to be wasteful.

A-OK spot for some classic teriyaki and lunch combinations. My friend and I were looking for a spot to grab lunch near where we work and she told me about this place, as there used to be lines pre-COVID. It was even pretty busy the day we visited, with some patrons dining inside and many more getting takeout. But I thought Asia Ginger Teriyaki was just fine. Located in Pioneer Square, the space was spacious enough with tables for a few groups to dine in. During the lunch hour on a weekday, the food came out surprisingly fast, despite the line of workers waiting to get their order. The menu features many different teriyaki dishes and combinations. There were seafood and vegetarian/tofu options, but the menu is pretty straightforward for what you'd expect at a teriyaki joint. I ordered the fried rice combination, which came with beef, chicken and shrimp. The portion was large, but it was mostly because of the heaping amount of rice. Proteins were slightly overcooked, but of the bunch, I liked the shrimp the best. And of course, there were only two pieces of shrimp in the fried rice. All in all, if you're looking for a quick, takeout spot that has teriyaki and other standard Asian dishes in the Pioneer Square area then Asia Ginger Teriyaki may be your best bet. Bonus - it's right next to Waterfall Park, so I advise getting takeout here and enjoying your lunch next door.

I have been a customer of this location for about 5 years and it used to consistently good. Since the new ownership, I have experienced the quality of food to be "just ok." I just picked up basic teriyaki chicken and if I was dining in the restaurant, I would return (chicken is SO DRY). Pity - it's the only teriyaki place in Pioneer Square.
