Usually I have no issue here but today I spent an hour waiting for food then for the front register lady to come back up to me to ask what I got again like what??? I've never been so disappointed in this place I come here all the time but after this idk it's very disappointing to spend my whole lunch break waiting for food when I ordered ahead of time. I understand business get busy I worked in food and maned it with just myself and one other person and I couldn't imagine making anyone wait as long as I've waited today read more

2 different sizing... to much rice. Nice to know I'm getting food for my money but the rice to chicken to sauce ratio is really off. I end up buying 3 dollars extra worth of sauce instead of probably trying to find some bottle of sauce similar for 3 dollars. Rice is covering the entire bottom of the tray. In my opinion it's a very unhealthy portion of rice and I love rice. The rice quality it's self isn't the best. I wish they spent more money of what kind of rice they used and portioned it out better than probably using a cheaper quality to give more. Chicken teriyaki was okay. Like I said it just needed more sauce. read more

Normally wouldn't have gone here but wanted to get to a place where I could eat fast. Initially upon looking at menu I thought I was going to have to eat meat but there were like 2 vegetarian options. But this place is worthy of your attention and your appetite. The sauce is not overpowering, everything is full of flavor. Definitely can see myself returning. read more

Food was great, good portions. It was really busy but they did a great job trying my order ready quickly. Very friendly staff.

Hands down my fav teriyaki spot. It's flavorful and consistent! I normally just get the spicy teriyaki and it never disappoints.

They gave me the wrong order, when I went back to try to fix it it was close 40 minutes before they're closing time as advertise in their page! read more

Yum! Soooooo good! When my kids come to town they insist on a night eating here! Top notch!

My husband and I may be the pickiest teriyaki eaters. We live in Kent and we're still driving to Redmond for our teriyaki fix. The woman at there counter is super friendly and seems to take a lot of pride in the restaurant. We both ordered the chicken breast teriyaki. I really thought it was perfect. I hate biting into chicken and feeling "layers" as my husband and I refer to it as. I also hate feeling like it may be under cooked. This chicken was nether of those! My husband really liked it too, but to him it was just a tad bit dry. Their sauce is perfect. Not to thick and not too thin. Providing the perfect amount of flavor. I gave it 4 stars taking one star off for my husband thinking his was a little dry. The portions could be bigger. We paid the extra $$ for more and it was still about the same as the regular portion for other places. read more

Food is delicious and the service is even better!! Plus your portions are definitely worth the price. You guys are great! I love me some Covington Teriyaki! read more

The food here is always good, the servings are large. We usually share a combo order and an order of dumplings. Plan ahead a call in order can take between 20 minutes and an hour depending on day and time. They have several tables, but most people get it to go. read more

Found this place thanks to fellow Yelpers! Been coming here every other day for the past two weeks since I've been too lazy to cook and experiencing life obligations. Although it may be a bit on the pricier side, the portion sizes are generous and the food is good! They are currently take-out only and I've found order wait times can range from 10 minutes to about 35 minutes or more... make sure to call-in ahead of time. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but I've found the bento box to be a decent value for the variety and being able to fill you up. The tempura has a good crunch (not soggy even after the drive home), chicken teriyaki is tender, juicy, and flavorful, but the sushi roll isn't the greatest... Their fish and chips are okay, worth trying if you like the crunchy outside, but the fish itself is not much to write home about; it does fill you up though. Glad I found a good take-out place close to home... read more

This place used to be really good. The past few times haven't been good at all. Called today to place a to-go order and was told that they don't have beef. How does a teriyaki place not have beef? I asked what they had and got hung up on. Not the best customer service. read more

This teriyaki place is a rare gem! First of all, they have some of the best customer service. The owner is always working and he is the friendliest guy. In addition, their food is above par. The selection is wide but everything is so good! Get the Won Ton soup, which is on the secret menu, it's $6 for a massive bowl! This place is a favorite for a lot of locals. While eating here you'll notice the owner recognizing most of his repeat customers. read more

I've had the spicy chicken teriyaki here, and it's brilliant! I'm giving this restaurant four stars, not because of of the food, but because of the service. I ordered take out and wanted to add some extra teriyaki sauce to my order, which I didn't think would be an issue as there was teriyaki sauce on each table. All the tables were occupied so I asked the lady at the front counter if I could have some extra sauce. She reported that was only for people who ate in the restaurant, which was weird because it's the same price if you eat in vs. take out. read more

YUM! Oh my goodness, check out the portion size for this teriyaki chicken. It's so big! And the flavors are so good. This is exactly what you think of when looking for a teriyaki place. What a yummy lunch! read more

Delicious food! Always prepared fresh and usually very quickly. They're very busy some times for a reason! It reminds me of how Kings teriyaki in Kent USED TO be! read more

With the plethora of teriyaki joints in the northwest, it can be hard to single out those places that knock their food out of the park. Covington Teriyaki, has achieved [quite practically] that. Food quality: 5 stars. I am super picky when it comes to the quality of chicken used for traditional chicken teriyaki and chicken breast teriyaki. I am turned off by the decreasing chicken quality found in most restaurants these days. I hate woody chicken breast ( Google this term if you have no idea what I am talking about). I will absolutely throw out an entire meal if I find my chicken is crunchy, yuck. But never fear- Covington Teriyaki does not [yet] have this! Plus, the way they season the chicken is divine. Price: 4 star. I feel they are above average for meal prices. Nothing stands out good/bad. Timeliness: 4 stars. They can sometimes under estimate how long it takes for orders to be ready. To be safe, I always call 40 minutes in advance. read more

This place is always busy for great reason. It's delicious we normally get chicken teriyaki or chicken katsu.

Friday night go to take out! Really. Any night! Great food. Fresh and tasty! Friendly owners and staff. They are busy but they work hard to limit how long you wait. read more

They were out of beef so we got chicken. Very dry and very little sauce. All the reviews were good in regards to the beef. Most likely will not eat here again. Shrimp tempura was good, but did not come with any sauce. I have never had to ask for a sauce anywhere. read more

well apparently they do have a website with a menu and pricing which I was told they dont have to honor. sounds like false advertising to me but we'll see what the Better Business Bureau And any other consumer protection agency I can think of says. read more

Covington Teriyaki - the receipt for the restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Covington, Washington

See all

Food was cold and not good tasting. I will not be ordering from this place again. Sorry not sorry.

This place can get SUPER busy with orders so make sure to plan ahead. One time we had to wait 40 minutes. This is our go to spot for teriyaki. Meat is fresh, good amount of char, and decently priced. Standard teriyaki that is always cooked fresh is a huge plus. Sucks that you have to pay 25 cents extra for sauce... read more

Really good teriyaki with a Chinese cooking twist. My taste buds love the mix for a change! Very friendly service and clean.

Very good for lunch. Spicy chicken & gyoza was very good (not amazing, not excellent, but very good). It ran a little dry for my taste, seems like more rice than I'd see at other places, but less sauce. I think the chicken quality is higher than the other 2 teriyaki joints in the area, so next time I'll probably just order some extra sauce and it'll be perfecto. Definitely will return! Covid-pandemic status - takeout available; I was disappointed that I actually had to touch a pen to sign a credit card slip, however that is typical for smaller restaurants like this, so no stars deducted. read more

Gross. Ordered broccoli beef and I was served soup. And it tasted like fryer oil. And there was hardly any broccoli. I've never hated a meal from a teriyaki place but this was honestly disgusting. read more

Best teriyaki beef I've ever eaten. I LITERALLY refuse to eat it from anywhere else.. idk about there other menu items tho, never had them

Never had a bad dish here - teriyaki is great! Fast and fair prices. Gyoza, kung pao, and the bento boxes are excellent. Haven't tried the fish and chips yet... read more

This is my favorite Teriyaki place in Covington. The sauce isn't really sweet like some places and it's cooked perfectly.

Came here for lunch with a buddy! Ordered the chicken teriyaki and gyoza combination dish. Chicken was tender and juicy and the gyozas were crisp! I was hoping for more than just two gyozas, but the meal as a whole was still pretty sizable. The dish also came with a side of white rice and a small salad with light dressing. They were a little light on the dressing, so be sure to ask for more if you're like me and you like your salads doused in dressing! Overall, food was great. Portion sizes were good. Prices were fair. Service was amazing. The lady taking our order was so sweet and patient. Definitely coming back here to try the rest of their menu when I get the chance. read more

Food was really good. Kinda a nice little hidden spot. Check it out

The person who answered the phone was the RUDEST person I've ever dealt with. He hung up on me and told me to call back when I figured out what I wanted because I was asking him questions about the meal I was ordering. I don't see how they are I'm business with the way they treat people. SMH . I'd give them 0 stars for their customer service. I read more

To-go orders are rarely order on time. I've mentioned this ti them and they said that they know that the app doesn't quote accurate times. What??? read more

I've been going to this place since the grand opening. It is always the best Teriyaki in Covington area. The last 3 visits had been not so good experience unfortunately. Dine in one time and I got a piece of hair on the food. I didn't complain and just show the woman who works there. She said sorry and didn't even offer a new one. The last two times are both to to. The Teriyaki chicken has very little sauce. The yakisoba is very small portion. Seems like it is time for me to try some other places. read more

Food is great, customer service can use a little help, they get busy and mess your orders up seams all the time.

HUGE portions of exactly what I visit a Teriyaki restaurant for ~ delicious Teriyaki meals. I will be back in order to try more dishes (I've had the Chicken Teriyaki 3x's). Friendly and engaging staff. Easy parking. read more

Been my go-to teriyaki spot for years. Always a warm welcome and the food is always great. Easily the best chicken teriyaki in Covington.

It is mostly takeout due to pandemic but food never disappoints! Five star food for sure. Service is efficient and staff very courteous . I probably do takeout at least two times a month. Try it today. read more

Been going here for 4-5 years..? Hands down the best Lunch Special within a 20 mile radius (great cuts of chicken, extra sauce on the side just in case you don't like it extra saucy! Genius.) Also. Bento Box is delicious. I place 99% of my orders by walking in. One telephone order (consistently A+ service) In and out in 15 minutes. Excellent service. Clean bathrooms. Cashier dude is infectiously friendly. 10/10. Anyone else know where a lunch special comes with gyoza?! BONUS POINTS. read more
