General Info
If you’re craving a quick, satisfying bite in Seattle, Teriyaki Time is one of those spots that keeps things simple-and does it really well. This Asian restaurant has that classic neighborhood vibe where you walk in, order at the counter, and within minutes, you’re digging into a warm, flavorful plate.
The menu is straightforward but hits all the right notes. On my visit, the Chicken Teriyaki stood out immediately. The chicken was grilled just right-juicy on the inside with a slightly charred edge-and coated in a sweet-savory teriyaki sauce that didn’t feel overwhelming. It’s the kind of dish that feels comforting and familiar, yet still satisfying every single time. Alongside that, the Teriyaki Chicken portion was generous, making it a solid choice for lunch if you’re looking for something filling without being too heavy.
Another highlight worth mentioning is the Chicken Katsu & Shrimp combo. The crispy coating on the katsu had a nice crunch, while the shrimp added a different texture that balanced the plate. It’s clear that even with a focused menu, there’s attention to variety and flavor. For those browsing reviews before visiting, this combination often gets talked about-and after trying it, it’s easy to see why.
What I also appreciated was the availability of vegetarian options. Even though the restaurant leans toward classic teriyaki dishes, there’s still something for different dietary preferences, which makes it more inclusive when dining with friends or family. The counter service keeps things efficient, especially during busy lunch hours when people just want good food without a long wait.
Parking is another practical plus. There’s a free parking lot available, and if that fills up, a paid parking lot nearby makes it convenient enough, especially for a location in Seattle. That small detail actually makes a big difference when deciding where to grab a quick meal.
Overall, Teriyaki Time feels like one of those dependable local spots you come back to again and again. The menu is focused, the portions are satisfying, and the experience-from ordering to eating-feels easy and unpretentious.
