Toshi's Teriyaki

Seattle is known for their teriyaki so we wanted to check out one of the more talked-about teriyaki places in the area.Toshi opened the first location in Mill Creek in 1976 and is known to be the Seattle area's first teriyaki shop. He still cooks at that location but there are multiple locations that have opened throughout the greater Seattle area. This location is near U Village and the University of Washington with a small parking lot that is utilized by the other shops in the plaza.We got the chicken teriyaki ($13.49) and we thought it was okay. The portion size could've been bigger with more chicken, especially for the price. The chicken didn't have a ton of flavor (although I did like the char marks) and the teriyaki sauce was the saving grace to that. We definitely could've used more of the sauce.It is a chain but this shop felt like a mom-and-shop between the person at the cashier and the person cooking (they look like a married couple?). This is a decent casual spot for a quick meal.

Went in on a cold rainy Thursday. I was able to order my food and have a seat. It's definitely a walk in and out kind of place with seats if you want to eat it hot and fresh. After about ten minutes, my food was ready, as I waited I could see the flame of the grill working on the chicken. The restaurant was filled with the great aroma of grilled chicken that kept me hungry. The chicken overall is well balanced in teriyaki flavor. It's not too sweet but it's also incredibly savory and addicting. I'm glad they provided such a large portion size. I'm glad they placed it on a bed of rice so the rice had that fantastic flavor. The salad had a great vinegary-type dressing that was a good refresh.Overall it's a fantastic value and I would love to come during lunch as it looks like they have an even higher value meal.

My wife and I get the chicken teriyaki at least once a week. It's a no frills teriyaki spot, with great portion size and always perfectly cooked chicken. The rice hits the perfect combination of cooked and sticky to mop up the sauce. I've tried a lot of teriyaki, but this one wins.

Worst teriyaki we've ever had. Chicken was not fully cooked and it had a bad smell. The rice was overcooked.Terrible salad the sauce was pure mayo. Me and my friend couldn't eat it, we had to throw it out.The tables weren't clean.Won't be a place we'll go back too.

Looks like I found another go-to teriyaki joint. After a super long day, all I wanted to do was get food and go home to decompress. I was craving Teriyaki and scouted a new teriyaki restaurant in town. The teriyaki was super flavorful and tender. I thought the portions were super generous for the price of old $10.95. It's a score in my opinion! Get you some Toshi's Teriyaki if your in the area! :)Also, I noticed they have a really good lunch pricing special! I defineitly wanna stop by for lunch one day!

It's hard to conduct this review in English due to the sheer excess of the word "Fuego" that is running through my head. 7 wonders of the world but if it were up to me I'd make this dish 3 more times to be left with a perfect 10/10.

Top teriyaki spot! This is the OG style teriyaki from the good old days. It's the way it should be, tender thigh meat chicken, grilled over a flame, perfectly charred, and that sweet savory syrupy teriyaki sauce. Over a bed of fluffy rice, and you have heavenly old school teriyaki.There are many so-called teriyaki places, but this spot is how it was meant to be. To top it off. It's run by a sweet older couple.

For $16.54 (pre-tip) I got the spicey chicken, which was a filling meal, even for someone like me who often eats two meals at a time. The spicey sauce doesn't have any heat, but not a big deal, it's still good. Would have been nice to have a bit more salad to balance the meal more, but i can see most people thinking they were getting less if the two squares just had cabbage. The price isn't way up there, but teriyaki used to be an affordable meal in Seattle for people living on a tight budget, and it seems like that's not a thing anymore. I would eat this weekly if prices were like they used to be.

Foods amazing but marcus is even better. This guy is an amazing human and deserves all the tips ever. Marcus works super hard and is such a nice guy, this guy also has the nicest mustache i've ever seen, the food here is definitely made with love, my man marcus needs a raise. Says he played baseball growing up i bet he was a stud, he provided perfect tips on the food and what was good for us new timers. We love you marcus!
