Yoshino Teriyaki

Look, I GET it. Another teriyaki spot. But this place is different. I come here more than I should. I come here often on different days to make sure it is still good. I used to order the number 1 chicken and rice but if you look a little closer you can get something called spicy chicken yakisoba-- now that's where the fun begins. The owners are all friendly and will generously tell you the options. The tables are clean and the tv is always playing CNN at a comfortable level. Against the walls are complementary hot sauces, hot mustard and soy sauce if you need it. The process is simple: you approach the counter and place your order. I recommend the yakisoba noodles but if you like rice then go ahead. Order: SPICY CHICKEN YAKISOBA. At the end he will say "sauce on?" And your answer is always YES. Do not get sauce on the side. Sauce ON. It's sweet tangy savory in the right kind of way. The emulsion of the sauce and what I believe is Vietnamese Sambol Olek is phenomenal. Smoky, a little spicy, sweet and tangy.The price 13 bucks. A little pricy? You can thank inflation for that. The lease is super high for this area. 13$ is fair. Repeat after me: spicy chicken yakisoba, sauce ON. If you get heartburn because you're over 30 years old then get the regular chicken yakisoba, sauce ON.The chicken is charred well and still remains juicy. The sauce is primo because it's not overly sweet and not overly thick like other teriyaki places.This place accepts credit card with a convenience fee so pay cash if you have it. The 4 recent photos below don't lie! This teriyaki spot is consistent, convenient, and tasty. BONUS: this business supports the kids at O'Dea high school. So this place not only provides amazing food and but also supports the community? That's a win.

This place is an absolute hole in the wall that hasn't been touched since the 90s..... but the Spicy Chicken is outstanding! Lightening fast service too. We placed our order and before I could pay we had the food in our hands. Don't let run down aesthetic fool you.

Love this place and the owner. Will give your dog chicken if you're ok with that. Sweet people, great food!

A very solid teriyaki shop on the medical district shopfront. I got takeout spicy chicken teriyaki, so the food got cold pretty fast in the clamshell, but the chicken and rice are in large portions and very tasty. As other reviews have said, the salad portion is pretty run of the mill. I haven't tried any of the other items but the spicy chicken is very reasonably priced.I also talked to the owner, who was super friendly and a seattle native. His restaurant has been here for a long time, and I'm happy to support them.

Yoshino... Yoshi yes!I'm giving 5 stars because this is just one of those few places in Seattle where:1) The main attraction of the place is the food and is not just a hipster hype job or fusion mess.2) The price is so so right.3) The food is great and quick!I ordered for pickup via phone because, like other reviews said, all online ordering sites are complete ripoffs that add $2-5 to each menu item. I got the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki for a crispy 10 dollars. For the amount of chicken, rice, and salad I got in my to go box, that price is simply unheard of. I took it home to eat and it was great. Filling, chicken was crispy and just the right amount of spicy where it didn't overtake the meal, the rice was well made. The salad was your typical side salad.Look, it's Teriyaki. A Seattle special, not some sort of mega authentic JP dish. We want it hot, yummy, quick, and cheap.With these prices and this quality of food, I WILL BE BACK!

Finally decided to checkout yoshino after passing it everyday for two months and wow, I've been missing out. The man working up front was very friendly and enjoys banter. The pricing is extremely reasonable especially considering the portion sizes. I got the spicy teriyaki chicken which has a bit of a kick to it, it's not intense, but very flavorful.

Today one of the doctors I work with ordered lunch for all the staff. What a wonderful treat. So we ordered from Yoshino Teriyaki.I ordered Spicy Chicken Yakisoba and it was yummy. It was enough for 2 meals. The chicken had a nice spicy twang to it with stir fried veggies and Yakisoba noodles.Of course we had it delivered to the hospital and it was well package and still hot enough where I didn't need to warm it up.I would recommend for your DoorDash meal delivery of anything from Yoshino Teriyaki. All my co-workers enjoyed enjoyed their food.LadyFlava of LadyFlavaNews

Still the best after many many years! The owner is always so friendly and funny. I make the drive just to buy their pork Yakisoba! If you haven't tried it. (Shhh keep it a secret!) Long time favorite restaurant.

We did a Segway tour, and we asked the guide for recommendations. Unbeknownst to us, Seattle is known for teriyaki. One of the guides said you can go literally anywhere, and it will be the best you've ever tasted.I'm not sure I'd say this was the best, but it was good. It was reasonably priced. The "restaurant " isn't the nicest place to look at, and for some reason the guy working the register seemed annoyed that I didn't know my order instantly when I walked through the door. But, that's just a personality thing. I'm there for the food, not to make friends. Overall, I'd recommend if you're nearby and looking for good, cheap food.

Just come here.Freshness of food was spectacular; everything made to order and staff was attentive. We got beef short ribs and spicy Chicken Teriyaki with half yakisoba and white rice and side of cabbage/broccoli mix. Hella down for more!
