Can a teriyaki place keep getting better? I think yes. Busy as ever, but service is super prompt and kind. My faves are the Spicy Teriyaki, chicken katsu, and Korean Galbi if they have it. Yakisoba is solid too. Most people takeout but a few clean tables if you want to eat it hot! read more

Wanted to play extra-tourist and check a teriyaki spot out while visiting the city (appreciating Seattle's historical teriyaki takeout popularity). :p Pretty tasty teriyaki chicken here! Teriyaki sauce isn't cloyingly sweet or salty. Chicken isn't the most succulent, but that didn't prevent me from devouring it lol. I also tried the chicken katsu, which was alright; wished the chicken meat was thicker, but it still gets the job done if you want chicken with a slight crisp to it. No-frills, mom-and-pop shop vibe (my fave food spot vibe). Very polite Japanese older lady at the front counter. Food came out pretty fast! I can definitely see this spot being a no-fuss food spot staple for those living in the neighborhood. read more

3.5 stars, I'll round up to 4... So food was fine, staff was friendly, but I think my encouragement would be to make the store a bit cleaner. A coat of paint and a little scrubbing would do wonders here. Parking is pretty limited (although there might be some street parking available) and I think there might be a parking lot across the street. My gyoza were tasty, food prepared quickly, staff was friendly and prices were reasonable. read more

I got the boneless chicken teriyaki and tofu yakisoba. The chicken was a generous portion but pretty standard and it hit the spot. However, I'll say that the tofu yakisoba was underwhelming; it tasted more like Chinese chow mein and was missing the sweetness of yakisoba. The portion was surprisingly small compared to the chicken. Adding teriyaki sauce helped a bit, but it still felt like a miss. That said, the food came out very quickly, which was a plus. Overall, a bit pricey at nearly $20 per dish, I'd stick to the rice and protein. read more

Hole in the wall... great food. Pricey but filling. Ordered the chicken plate and also the beef plate with 1 soda. Almost $50 Very expensive but the food is great. The portions are big. Both plates fed myself , wife and 5 small kids. Came with 2 small Salads (ask for extra dressing). It was happening. Lots of people coming in, very limited seating so if your going during lunch or dinner hours , prepare to take it "to go" I always reference the place, service , cleanliness etc... but typically rate based on the food. It's pretty grimey and dirty , but that's what you would expect from a hole in the wall ... it really doesn't bother me , staff is friendly but busy, don't expect to get any attention or service after you order and get your food , located off a busy road with limited parking , but people are coming and going quickly , so wait a minute and something will open up. Food was great. Flavorful , no thrills. Just straight to the point. And they give you a lot of it. Had hoped for some mac salad or some other side beside the salad with a drizzle of dressing. If I'm in the area again, I'd stop by and order again ! Since I can't give 4.3 stars I rounded up ! read more

Got boneless chicken teriyaki. Almost everything about the food was solid. Salad was fresh. Rice was properly clumpy. Although it's pricey, plenty of chicken for two average stomach people. Sauce was good. The one disappointment and arguably the most important part was how dry the chicken was. This was surprising because it's a kenjo Lopez fav spot. Maybe it's a one off but it's a good deal overall. No issues with service. Small amount of seating for small groups. Mainly a carryout spot. read more

Hits all the important things - quality for price, hefty portions, and good service. Online ordering makes it especially convenient for those nights you're feeling too lazy to cook. I can see why this was my brother-in-law's go-to spot when he worked near by. The only downside is parking is limited. For reference: My go-to order is chx teriyaki + katsu combo. read more

It's about as mediocre as you can get for Teriyaki and considering it in the Fremont area beware because they want $4.99 for a bottle of Mexican Coke!! Usually hot usually fast but double check your prices guys because they don't blink twice and how they can justify five dollars for a bottle of Coke. It's just asinine. ! read more

I work right across from I Love Teriyaki. Although I worked in the area for a long time, I haven't tried it until now since teriyaki is an easy dish to make and thought it's not worth paying for. I also usually eat at the company cafeteria, but on that day the cafeteria was closed. My coworker and I were forced to go get food somewhere in the neighborhood. My coworker knew the food here better than I did and suggested we split a chicken teriyaki dish. This was the correct move as we had more than enough food for the two of us with one plate. Teriyaki was ok, but I was surprised how good the quality of rice was. The rice was shiny, fluffy, and looked and tasted perfect. I wouldn't go out of my way to get the food here, but I give credits to the care they put into the rice. read more

The chicken breast teriyaki was superb! The portion was large enough for two meals. Egg rolls are also among the best. read more

Decent spot for Teriyaki, but it's not the best. There are plenty of teriyaki spots in Seattle given it was popularized here. This teriyaki spot is very close to Gas Works Park, so a good suggestion would be to take it over to the park for a picnic. They have a small parking lot in the plaza, so it's easy to drop someone off to pick up the food. The portions are great and plenty, and the staff was friendly! However, taste wise, it was average and didn't wow me. Therefore, it's a decent local spot if you live close by and want something quick for lunch or dinner, but nothing worth driving out for. read more

Came here for Sunday lunch. I ordered the chicken katsu and my husband ordered the salmon teriyaki. The chicken katsu is a standard chicken katsu and it cames with two sauces. A soy sauce based one which is very salty and a typical teriyaki katsu sauce. The salmon teriyaki was cooked fine and had a teriyaki glaze on top. It tasted like I expected. Although the portion is fairly big, I don't think the price is really worth it. I feel like you can get the same quality and size for a lot cheaper elsewhere. It didn't blow my socks off but it didn't taste bad either. There isn't really anything special about it. The salad was bland. The water station is not very obvious. It is just a water Brita pitcher behind the counter. You might have to ask for water which kind of deters people from geting it. Would I come again? No. The price was expensive for teriyaki. Perhaps it is expensive because it is in Fremont. read more

I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best teriyaki I've ever had. Came to visit Seattle from Chicagoland, where our teriyaki scene is almost always dry and not juicy. At first, I was hesitant about the price because where I'm from, restaurants charge for sides of rice and extra sauce. I Love Teriyaki gives you a side salad, a great portion of protein and rice, WITH extra teriyaki sauce that is to die for, all under $20! The service was amazing as the food. This family restaurant was quick and handed me my food less than 10mins after ordering. Please don't be intimidated by their long lines, there is a reason why people wait in their line for such amazing teriyaki (and you don't wait long either) I highly recommend this place and will be thinking about their teriyaki everyday... read more

I Love Teriyaki - Beef and Chicken Teriyaki Combo - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Placed an online order for pick up, chicken teriyaki and katsu with a side of gyoza. It was very good. Katsu was tender and crispy, but not overly fried. The chicken teriyaki was moist and really good. I really liked the sauce because it was a good balance and not overly sweet. When I got to the restaurant, my order was ready to be picked up at the time they said. The lady at the front desk was really nice when giving me my order and when she was talking with the other customers. There are a couple tables but you can tell this is more of a take out place. We were in the area and knew Kenji recommended this spot, so it was a must try and we were glad we did. I was able to share the meal with my boyfriend and it was enough for us. I recommend this place. read more

Very basic but delicious food. Veggie stir fry and veggie spring rolls are so good. Portions are huge and the rice is really well cooked! They don't have a ton of condiment options but the beverage selection plus flavor packed food definitely fill in the gaps. Their rice is so good I literally just came in for a quick lunch of rice and Kimchee. Yum! Everything is packed to-go so you can take your leftovers with you. The staff are friendly and attentive, and make good suggestions. It's worth getting here with the construction kind of blocking the way! read more

Good tasting chicken and beef teriyaki combos but service was not friendly and when we arrived 45 minutes before closing, the lady working there told us the menu was limited and they were already cleaning up the kitchen. We weren't even allowed to dine in and had to do takeout, They definitely need to work on customer service and provide their full menu until closing time. The restaurant itself is just a small mom and pop restaurant, outdated but seemed clean. read more

I Love Teriyaki - Beef and chicken were tender and rice was perfectly cooked. Tasted good the day after as well - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Soon after moving here, I learned that Seattle is a place for teriyaki. This shall be my go-to when I'm in the Fremont area. Ordered two dishes. Both came with 2 scoops of white rice and a side salad in a separate container. The salad is mainly iceberg lettuce & dressing, nothing fancy but it helps me feel better because the cold crisp veggies add a bit of balance to all the meaty goodness in the dish. Spicy chicken- not as spicy as I would normally like, but the flavor is really nice, and it was moist. The more I ate it, the more I enjoyed it. Chicken breast & beef combo- the chicken was flavorful & juicy for being white meat. The beef was awesome. It had a similar texture & taste to bulgogi minus the onions, & since it's teriyaki, it's a different kind of sweet. I had a good amount of leftovers because they really give a lot of meat... huge plus in my opinion! By the way, this is located maybe a couple minutes drive to Gas Works Park so it's nice to be able to bring the food there and have a little picnic! read more

My friend and I ordered take out and we really enjoyed it!! The portions are huge, so this was definitely like two meals for us! The chicken was favorable and not dry at all. The ambiance is pretty small so I would say it's more of a place you'd take out , not sit inside, but the staff was super sweet and friendly! My food also came out in less than five minutes which was awesome! Would definitely come back again! read more

I Love Teriyaki - The Incredible Chicken-Pork Combo; Well done. - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

You know teriyaki is great when the container it comes in feels like a solid brick. The lady at the counter was nice while also running around being busy. The price:quality AND quantity ratio are all perfect. You open the clamshell to see the most delightful pile of meat. And of course it comes with the classical teriyaki salad too. What is that dressing and why is it so good. Last time I came here was for something to eat while hanging out at fremont brewing co but this time we didn't have anywhere to be so we sat in one of 3 tables in the storefront. This was definitely not a place designed with dine-in in mind so it's nice they provide the option at all. I got the teriyaki and shrimp tempura combo. I think I like the chicken and chicken katsu combo more but you really have to commit to eating A LOT of chicken if you get that. Not that it's hard given how delicious it is. All in all a fantastic local business to support read more

I bet you'll love I love Teriyaki. Because I love I Love Teriyaki. I love I Love Teriyaki's Spicy Chicken the most, but I love I Love Teriyaki's yakisoba and classic teriyaki too! Oh and they have pineapple Jarritos, a top contender for best soda ever, so do yourself a favor and grab one of those too. You'll be greeted in the little strip mall parking lot by the tantalizing smell of meat charring on a grill. (Kids if you're taking notes: ALWAYS follow that smell.) Their sauces are quite delicious, and the chicken has always been fresh and juicy, with a nice bit of maillard crust - the origin of that heavenly scent. The portions are generous and the staff are lovely. My one gripe would be with the side salad - the veggies are fresh and crisp, but the dressing is a bit watery and could use some help. I still love I Love Teriyaki though, and strongly recommend you go. read more
