I Love Teriyaki

The food is delicious and the portions are good-sized. Nice and friendly people. I've gone there for years, but not recently since I became a widow. Prices are reasonable. Don't expect ambiance. There is an old style tv on the wall playing YouTube or Japanese sitcoms. Overall, it's a good place to eat in the neighborhood.

We were getting takeout for a family dinner up north and everyone wanted teriyaki. However, our usual spot for teriyaki was closed, so we had to quickly pivot to another place while traveling north for where we could get teriyaki. Thus, I Love Teriyaki around Totem Lake was found. We visited on a Tuesday and the place was pretty busy, with many people getting takeout. We ordered there, so we waited about 15 minutes for five meals to be prepared. The menu featured a lot of items, beyond teriyaki staples. They had Chinese and Korean dishes as well. At the restaurant, they offer free tea for customers. I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki, which I thought was A-OK. The portion was huge, so actually made two meals out of this, which was nice. However, there was so much sauce on the chicken that it was hard to taste the actual chicken itself. I'd recommend asking for sauce on the side. And although I ordered a spicy dish, this was not spicy at all. The teriyaki meals come with two scoops of white rice and a side iceberg lettuce salad. All in all, I Love Teriyaki was an okay spot for teriyaki, at least, for spicy chicken teriyaki. I've had better teriyaki in Kirkland, so this would not be my first choice. Perhaps the other dishes fare better, but for a place called I Love Teriyaki, I did not love this teriyaki.

The combo meals here are the best. Good price & super flavorful! Definitely recommend this place

Best yakisoba noodles ever. It has a great smoky flavor. I would highly recommend. The chicken karsu is also pretty good.

I love the fried rice here! It's fresh and has a nice char flavor. It isn't my favorite teriyaki in the area (it's good but pretty average), but I come here because the fried rice is so good. I tried egg rolls tonight for the first time and they are pretty good! The workers have always been friendly with fast service. I've only gotten take out but there seem to be a good amount of people who stay in the restaurant to eat.

This place is awesome, I don't know too much about it's history but I believe it to be run by a family, or friends. The actual environment on the inside is a bit outdated, and the tv in the corner plays random youtube videos, but if you came for food you'll not only get a large amount for a reasonable price, but it will taste absolutely amazing too. They have almost always had my orders ready within the 15 minute time frame they give you, and the cashier in specific is a very kind lady. Would Highly Recommend (My favorite dish is the Mongolian beef with veggie fried rice instead of regular rice) try it out if you like spicy food

This place was a pleasant surprise. We are new to the area and just wanted to grab something before heading home. If I'm being totally honest I get skeptical of places like this because it's either really good or really bad. It was really good! It reminded me of a place in my hometown that closed down years ago. The teriyaki sauce was delicious and the portions were huge. Super reasonably priced and made for good leftovers as well. It's just a nice reminder to not judge a book by it's cover. We have gone back to this place at least twice already.

If you are all for quantity over quality then this place is for you. We got a beef teriyaki and a chicken teriyaki and it fed 4 people with each dish being around $10 each. That is definitely a steal. However, the quality suffers a little. The beef was tough and chewy and your jaw can hurt a little. The chicken was average but the teriyaki sauce was light. The rice and salad was standard. Nothing really stood out.Overall, it's an ok place, not something I would get on a routine basis

It's probably one of the top three Teriyaki establishments on the Eastside. When I am in Bellevue, I typically order the Teriyaki Chicken + pot stickers with the teriyaki on the side. The pot stickers are crispy in on the edges and soft and tender and pair well with the provided dipping sauce, which is likely vinegar and some soy. Usually add the side salad.The teriyaki chicken is fully cooked with slight bits charring on the edges. Chicken is cooked to perfection. More than a plentiful portion of both chicken and rice to satisfy your Teriyaki cravings. The salad is fresh and is paired with their in-house sweet mayo based dressing.If you are into energy drinks, this goes well with a can of Rockstar energy drink.

Horrible services! The older lady, I'm assuming is the owner, was so rude to me but I notice she's extra nice and helpful to the Americans (I'm Asian). She just sat there in front of the counter watching I'm assuming K-Drama... I've waited 20+ mins for my curry chicken. Guests that had arrive after me got their meals way before me. The food is not great. Chicken was completely dry. I ended up throwing it away: Never coming back here again.
