Unassuming spot for tasty teriyaki. The portion is big, price reasonable, and most importantly, the teriyaki is delicious. It's kind of a popular lunch spot so while they try to be fast, you could get a bit stuck behind the lunch rush. read more

Your friendly neighborhood grocery store with a surprising restaurant! I was first skeptical, but I trusted the reviews, and I was pleasantly surprised. We got the Spicy Chicken Plate, which was made right there so it was fresh and HOT. I felt the portion was good for the price. The chicken was fresh and well seasoned; I didn't think it was too spicy, but if you're not good with spice, I suggest proceeding with caution! The staff was very friendly and I'm glad we got our midday snack here! read more

This unassuming little place was a great place to stop in for teriyaki! The takeout was ready quickly and still piping hot 10 min later when I made it back to my hotel. The person who took my order was efficient and friendly. The chicken was well charred and nicely seasoned, and came with a generous portion of rice. It was not highly sauced but came with a small teriyaki sauce on the side (I should have asked for more- I like sauce!). My only complaint is that the chicken itself was a little dry, but the flavor was great. read more

Neighborhood grocery and restaurant. I decided to try this place because it was close by the hotel. Snacks, beverages and Chinese. Lottery also available. This night we ordered shrimp and house fried rice . Cooked fresh to order. Pricey . Staff was friendly. Food was bland in my opinion. Great quantity! Shrimp was small and overcooked. ( no pic of food , sorry !) read more

If you love "hole in the wall" restaurants with guys that seem to enjoy themselves as they cook good food. Well this place has it in spade!

Outstanding food and quick service!!! The food was made fresh on the spot and was delicious... I kept coming back to the page while looking for a somewhere to eat near the hotel we were staying at... we were not disappointed!! read more

Good sized portions for a reasonable price. I have a beef with how lots of places prepare chicken thighs for stir fry. But, I had the Mongolian chicken & veg - the chicken had a grilled smoky flavor with chilis and a sweet sauce (mild spice level like 1). There wasn't any fat on the chicken and it was soft & flavorful. Husband had the cashew chicken which was real good too. These guys are working harder than the average cook to make sure their meat is nice! read more

Really friendly staff and fast service. I ordered the Katsu Curry (Thursday Special). The flavor is good and it was basically their chicken curry over a generous portion of pork Katsu - tons of food. I would have enjoyed some big pieces of carrot in with the potatoes. I also ordered the side salad which was crispy and fresh iceberg lettuce with a thin but tasty blue cheese dressing. read more

I had had a long day at working a convention, and I was staying at the W hotel. I hadn't eaten in 11 hours, and looking through Yelp and DoorDash, and even room service, nothing looked good to me. I kept thinking, well, sheesh, I just want some chicken and rice. That's when I remembered the strange little convenience store next door that also seemed to have chicken and rice. I went over and it was exactly what I was in the mood for, and it's so SO good. They were also kind enough to squeeze me in just as they were closing the kitchen. But anyway. Super good, large portions and reasonable price. Five stars! read more

Don't sleep on the teriyaki. It's a very solid, decent "fast" teriyaki joint. Don't expect fine dining here and you'll be just fine. For me as a work traveler this was exactly what I wanted - to quickly pick up some hot food, some soda, and then retreat to my hotel room and rest. There aren't many good and affordable places for quick Asian in this area and this place delivered. I would say that it's less of a "grocery" store and more like a 7-11 so set expectations accordingly. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Food was great, ordered the egg rolls with fried rice and they were both amazing. Will definitely be back!

I ordered: #1 Chicken Teriyakki $12.69 and #34 (Side Order) gyoza $6.99 1. Reasonable prices 2. Quick service (called and ordered ahead) 3. Friendly atmosphere I will return! read more

I always saw this place when I was a UW student venturing out of campus to explore the city. It's at kind of an odd location and not a place I would normally go to, partly because I fear it would be sketchy (I'm a very small woman). But that's not the case at all! I was pleasantly surprised to find the inside was impeccably clean. You can tell the owner truly cares about the place and keeps it well-stocked and maintained. This is one of those hole-in-the-wall, no-frills places that are rapidly disappearing from this city. I'm disappointed in myself for not going sooner and even after one trip, feel a sort of fondness for the place. We ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki and the chicken teriyaki for a total of 30 dollars and some change, including tax. No tip option. We got it to-go and somehow, after a 30-40 commute home the food was still hot! I thought the chicken teriyaki could've used a touch more sauce but flavors were there. The spicy chicken teriyaki was mild in terms of heat. Serving sizes were generous and I'll be able to make another meal out of it. I don't think they use the same kind of salad dressing that other teriyaki joints use which was a bummer for me because I looove the salad that comes with teriyaki read more

Good quick service, it's a little tucked away as most places in Seattle are. The food seems to cater to more Western pallets.

This hidden gem has some solid teriyaki. The spicy chicken teriyaki is the way to go, and the gyoza is also a great side to order. The location is in a parking garage and doesn't look like much, but the portion is good and the service is always fast and friendly. read more

In a neighborhood that's in the middle of corporate businesses, it feels good to just go to a corner store that has cheap Asian food. This is the Seattle I know outside of downtown. Getting your hot food is quick and easy. Also the staff is really nice. Please continue to support mom and pop shops like this one. read more

Tried Community Grocery a couple of weeks back while in DT Seattle. Ordered the Beef/Chicken teriyaki combo. For the price , it was good. Portion size was large enough I had to take the leftovers home. Service was quick. We had our order in just a few minutes. Very laidback atmosphere. The store is well kept , clean and has a variety of convenience store items to include sodas, beer and liquor plus your everyday snacks. Will definitely come back for another BCTC. read more

This hit the spot. Nothing fancy at all and wanted something quick to eat. The food was good the service was friendly. Was staying near by and this was a pleasant surprise. If I am staying in the area again I would definitely stop again. read more

Very surprisingly good local hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant that was quite busy during lunch hour. In an unassuming location that one would miss walking in the area. You'll know what I'm talking about when you visit. Good thing there's Yelp which led this out of town traveler staying at a nearby hotel to this spot. The menu was basic but in the best way. The tofu yakisoba and spicy teriyaki are winning options. Try them. Go! read more

It's one of Seattle's secret places for amazing spicy chicken teriyaki. The store looks like something out of a Grayhound bus station during the Serpico era, across street from two of the most expensive hotels in the city. Don't let that fool you, this food is satisfying and less money than a cocktail at Fairmont, W, Monaco, etc. read more

I love this place having stayed four days in snobby, snooty Seattle, it was so fun to just go to a simple place like the community grocery. The hotel that I have been staying at told me about it and I could go there and just to get some water. So I went there tonight and got my water and decided everybody was so nice there, I would just go there for a quick, cheap chicken teriyaki dinner with very little rice cause I can't eat much these days. It cost me so little and the water was pretty reasonable too!! Four huge bottles of water for about $20. Earlier in the day, I spent $32 in Seattle just getting a Caesar salad and a glass of iced tea. Some of the burgers here are close to $20 so after that I decided my last night it was time to economize and come here. I felt sorry for the owner because there was a crazy woman sitting next to me going on and on about being raped and killed. But that's Seattle if you know what I mean. He and I were just laughing and then she disappeared, thankfully without harming me. This is a great place to come for your quick groceries when you're staying in the city or a quick meal and the people that work here are the nicest people ever!! I will come back again. read more

I was disappointed with my recent visit to Community Grocery and Teriyaki. Despite being advertised to be open until 8:00pm, they shut the kitchen down at 7:00pm. We arrived at 7:10pm, only to be told that the kitchen was closed, even though they were still cooking food for others. People were sitting and eating so they didn't close the kitchen because of lack of business. This inconsistency in operating hours is frustrating and misleading. Especially when that was where we had planned to eat and didn't have a backup. read more

Been coming here every now and then for almost a decade portion is huge the owner is friendly and it is consistent. They have a few tables if you'd like to dine in. But it's literally like a corner store right behind the Fairmont Olympic hotel. read more

What a hidden gem...in a parking garage! Thanks to Yelp, I found Community Grocery and Deli after craving some teriyaki for lunch. Community Grocery and Deli is literally located inside the parking garage across the Fairmont Hotel. Once you pass the backside of the hotel on your right - you spot the parking garage entrance and a little store, with an A-frame sign, pointing to snacks and fast food. Up the small flight of stairs is a small, family-run market with the scent of teriyaki in the air! I ordered the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki plate, which was about 10 bucks. And unexpectedly, inside the market, are some tables and chairs if you want to dine-in, which is what I was hoping for since I don't like eating at my desk. It didn't take long for me to get my food. I was waiting for my order to be called out since I assumed you're supposed to pick it up at the counter like most teriyaki joints, but an employee actually delivered my food to my table, which was another nice surprise! More importantly - the teriyaki was yummy! I was especially impressed that for the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki, they cooked the chicken with actual chili flakes, making it extra spicy - which is how I roll! The portion was huge, too. I had leftovers for lunch the following day. In addition to teriyaki, they had other Asian favorites like Orange Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, etc... Overall, I'm glad to have discovered this hidden gem for teriyaki in downtown Seattle! I have a feeling that this unassuming hole-in-the-wall is the kind of place that has repeat customers. I'll now be one of them! read more

10 out of 10 recommend! Stumbled on this place as I was walking to my hotel. Chicken teriyaki is delicious!

We were in a hurry to get to a concert. We found this place on google maps and saw the fantastic reviews. It was so close to our hotel we walked about a block. It's in a garage and looks a little sketchy but we went in and wow, the food was amazing. And so much food for the price. Definitely coming back when we come to Seattle in the future read more

Love this place Pre Pandemic! The people there are welcoming and the food is great. Looking forward to returning soon!

We stumbled upon this place when the original place we planned to eat at was inexplicably closed. After finding nothing after more walking around, we were just going to order room service when we walked in just to get some water. After looking at the menu decided to just get dinner here and wow! This place is a FIND! Ordered the chicken katsu and the chicken teriyaki. The portions were huuuge, especially considering how low the prices were, and both were absolutely delicious! Never would have expected such a fantastic dinner at such an unassuming corner grocery mart. Highly recommend!! read more

I was honestly not impressed by this grocery store. They charge a .50 cent fee for all card transactions. I can understand if it's a debit, but credit cards too? Sure it is a small business, and they have to pay card transaction and monthly machine rental fees. Well? Get with the program, and set up a square cash where fees are lower. Just kinda annoying. The only positive I can think of was they have Premier Protein Shakes. I wasn't feeling well, and can't eat much solid foods these days. I got a few of them at this store to help coat my stomach. read more
