Very casual teriyaki spot with a few small tables. Seems like takeout is way more popular here which makes sense haha. I ordered a chicken teriyaki at the counter and the food came out super speedy fast. Chicken teriyaki comes with rice and salad and wow I was blown away by the rice/chicken portion size. Salad came with a sweet citrus-y dressing which was so good. Chicken was tender, had a good char, and was drenched in sauce. Comes with extra katsu sauce as well in case you want more sauce with your sauce (I always do ty) Overall, super solid spot. Would come back if I'm in the area and craving teriyaki read more

Grew up in shoreline area and loved going here with my sister. Decided to come back after many years and I'm glad to say they've kept their quality up all these years. The chicken teriyaki was so good, sauce was tasty, chicken was tender, rice was cooked perfect. It's a small little place off 15th Ave NE and the staff is friendly and they are very quick. Took about 6 minutes from ordering my teriyaki to being in my car with it. If you want a good tasting teriyaki for a good price, come here! read more

Good food, good service. Apparently I gotta hit at least 85 characters. Just wanted to leave the 5 stars.

Went here to catch up with a friend. I was excited because I love teriyaki/bento spots! We were immediately greeted as soon as we entered. The person at the register was friendly and patient. I decided to go with the chicken katsu bento. It was so much food! And all of it was good. Good flavor and texture for each of the included items. The place is small and some of the seating is a little old, but it provided a charm in its own way. I'd definitely come back. read more

I ordered the Chicken Breast and was surprised with how good this dish was. The flavor was a little on the heavy side but I appreciated how large the portion was! I couldn't finish it but am looking forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow. I definitely would come back and support small business! read more

I have been desperately searching for a teriyaki place that has GOOD tofu for over a year now. All of the places I've gone to serve raw tofu or it doesn't come with veggies. Ichi Bento came on my TikTok FYP, so I looked up their menu and was pleased to see that they not only had one tofu option, but several! I went the next day for takeout and service was extremely friendly. My partner got spicy chicken and I got the tofu stir fry since it included veggies. We both really enjoyed our meals and would definitely go again. I only took off one star because my partner said the spicy chicken was mild (maybe we can ask for more spice next time), and in my opinion, the tofu stir fry did have a LOT of cabbage compared to the other veggies. I would love to see them add mushrooms, bean sprouts, etc to this dish instead of the cabbage. I will be back regardless! read more

I'm fairly picky about Teriyaki, and my list of reliable places had been whittled down to just one for a decade. However, I finally managed to stop in at Ichi Bento, and am happy to report I can now add it to my list! My typical order is a Spicy Chicken & Gyoza combo. While I felt the "spicy" could have been a bit more incorporated into the marinade/sauce instead of sitting on top of the chicken, I did really appreciate the char on the chicken. The portion was also very generous, and although the salad was mostly iceberg, that along with the dressing was still enjoyable! The gyoza is almost all for texture for me personally--I know it's almost never homemade and is just industrially produced, so it's a universal non-factor, but still appreciated. What really stood out though, is the Chicken Yakisoba. Is it the most authentic? Certainly not, but it really was the exact flavor I personally was seeking in a Chicken Yakisoba from a Teriyaki place. Delicious, and again, a very generous portion with deliciously charred chicken. I'll be back! read more

Swung by Ichi Bento for an easy dinner as a walk-in takeout order. I love that it's close to the Shoreline South station so you can drop by quickly. Decided I should stick with the regular chicken teriyaki bento. I was told 15 minutes, but it came out faster than that. They take a lot of phone orders and are busy prepping other meals so no surprise everyone is kind of multi-tasking, but in no way did I feel ignored so that was good. The portion size is pretty generous. I think if I wasn't so hungry I could have easily split this with my wife. Chicken teriyaki flavor seemed on point although full disclosure it's been a while since I've ate these kind of meals. The bento came with extra teriyaki sauce which I thought was unnecessary given it's already really savory and sweet. The California roll is pretty good. Salad dressing is kinda sweet. Also feel like the tempura could have came with more sauce. Overall though, it's a big meal for what is normal price for food now I feel. While I didn't think the food was super delicious or amazing in anyway, the bento has real good value and if I'm needing a quick meal to really fill me up Ichi would be a good consideration. read more

I had takeout eons ago preYelp from Ichi Bento. For some reason I was craving a bento box for lunch. Time for a revisit to Ichi Bento in Shoreline's North City neighborhood (7/25/24). Counter person was rather focused on refilling the various sauces in small containers at an adjacent counter. She seemed slightly annoyed to break that focus when she realized I was ready to order. Definitely all business taking my order, fielding calls for takeout, and getting orders put together. Just an observation while I was onsite. I placed an order for a bento with chicken teriyaki and steamed rice. This comes also with salad, miso soup, 4 pieces of CA roll, and given the choice of gyoza or tempura. I chose the latter. I stuck with chilled water from a dispenser unit by the entrance. Shortly thereafter, I was provided with a plastic clamshell container with pale salad with another tiny container with sweet poppy dressing. Another plastic container had miso soup. I consumed both - serviceable. Another container had the tempura and dipping sauce. I did eat most of the tempura of green beans, shrimp, and potato. Saved the onion ring though. Coarse breading, not the traditional light fried batter coating associated with tempura. Next container had a generous amount of steamed rice topped with thinly sliced, grilled teriyaki beef and another tiny container with presumably more teriyaki sauce. I ate the 4 pieces of CA roll, no soy sauce and pickled ginger provided. Just too bad it was teriyaki beef, not chicken that I originally ordered. I was too full anyways, so took the rest home. Normally, I'd be a bit more assertive, but needed to get back to work. There was only another pair that dined onsite, aside from me. Rest of the folks showing up were picking up takeout. As an fyi, there is onsite seating, as well as, some outdoor seating. I tried to eat the teriyaki beef and rice a few days later...not a smart idea. The protein had a burnt after taste, sauce too sweet, and rice was tough despite the refresh with a sprinkle of water prior to microwaving. I ended up composting most with the tempura onion ring. There was no actual bento box, especially while dining onsite. So much discarded plastic, not much recycling or composting observed after busing my own table. For a lunch that was over $20 with tax and tip, with incorrect, burnt tasting protein, ended composting half.... it was just okay, felt underwhelmed, and disappointed. read more

I've driven past this place a few times. I'm a little iffy on my teriyaki and bento. But this place is awesome. They give you a lot of food for the price and the customer service was excellent. And that food came out hot and quick. Highly highly recommend if you're in the area and are craving this kind of food. read more

We get takeout from this spot. Really great stuff. I usually order a chicken teriyaki bento box or a spicy chicken bento box. The chicken is on point, and the sides are also very good. The portions are huge, so a bento box is at least two meals for me. Service is fast and friendly. Looks family run and they clearly take pride in their restaurant. If you order takeout close to closing time (which is often us), it has been our experience once or twice that they have run out of certain things. But we have always been happy with whatever we've ordered. read more

Awesome food! The portions are huge and the price is so reasonable. The bento is the way to go. The gyoza, salad, CA roll, and miso soup are enough for a meal themselves. read more

This is now my go to local teriyaki place. Food: their food is really delicious and especially for the value. I usually get the bento box because the value is best here. I choose to get the tempura combo and since you get shrimp and vegetables with the tempura, it really is a fantastic deal. For the teriyaki, I recommend chicken teriyaki because I didn't actually care that much for the beef, but that could just be me. I've also had their Mongolian beef and that was really good as well. In general sushi and miso soup and gyoza and tempura are all solid choices. Service and ambience: their service is always fast and friendly. They do have some tables to sit so you can eat in, but I noticed that most people order to go. Even if you order to eat in, you will get your order in to go boxes so you can pack it up to take home your leftovers. Everything is plastic and Styrofoam, which is not great for the environment, but that's probably how they keep prices low. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TOP TIER TERIYAKI in Seattle.

Mushy chicken. Had a weird texture. A ton of rice, way too much. Salad was good. The teriyaki sauce is thick and gloppy and the flavor was off compared to other places. And last but not least, taking the third star off because of their lousy health inspection report. Second from the worst rating. If you don't care about me then I don't care about you. It's not hard to get a good rating or a great rating, you just have to care. I won't be back. read more

Some of the best Teriyaki I've ever had! Flavors on point and the portions are big !You can't go wrong by going to Ichi bento!

Very tasty! Amazing teriyaki sauce. Lots of vegetarian options. People there are friendly. Was fast and easy for takeout. North City gem not to be overlooked! read more

My favorite spot for an affordable bento box! I like the katsu chicken or chicken teriyaki bento which comes with a good portion of meat, rice, 4 pieces of California roll, your choice of tempura or gyoza, salad and miso soup for $16. Most teriyaki spots charge that much or more for just the entree so it's such a good deal in my opinion! I love the breading on the katsu, it's always nice and crispy. Minor things, but I love the sweet salad dressing and tempura sauce too haha. Service is always super nice and quick! read more

My former teacher friend and I decided to meet up, and I found a nearby Japanese restaurant. When we arrived, we noticed that the place was small, but there was a lot of activity with customers dining in and deliveries going out! It got me really excited to try everything on the menu. I ended up choosing the bento box, which included chicken katsu, salad, prawn, California roll, and soup. It was not only delicious but also quite affordable! My friend opted for the spicy chicken dish. The only downside was that they served the food in styrofoam containers instead of pretty utensils. read more

Food is incredible! Perfect char on teryaki, amazing crisp on katsu. katsu sauce is sooo yum. For 15.99 with the Bento Box you get chicken teriyaki (or katsu) + 4 California roll pieces + 7 gyoza + rice + salad + miso soup. You literally CANNOT beat that deal within 30 mins of Seattle. Inside is very down-home neighborhood feel and staff is super nice. I've gone back twice in 2 weeks. read more

Was busy day for a take out order. Used to get food from here and always leave with happy tummy until today. Ordered 5 meals to go. 2 of the miso were missing which is one of my fav side for teriyaki. And food did not taste that good. Mongolian beef and chicken teriyaki sauce literally tasted the same. Yakisoba noodle did not seem to cooked fully. It was chewy. Fried tofu had so much flour. I dont know all this was busy day or owner has changed. read more

Really delicious food and always friendly service for a great price. Highly recommend the teriyaki tofu, easily the best teriyaki tofu I've ever had. read more

Pretty solid teriyaki spot in N Seattle. I ordered the spicy chicken bento box (spicy chicken over rice, 4 piece California rolls, salad, miso soup, 6 pieces of tempura) and it was pretty solid. My total was ~$19 with a can of Diet Coke. My only grievance was they barely gave me any tempura sauce but I'll survive (: Will definitely be back when craving teriyaki! They are also next door to a brewery - which is too, pretty solid! read more

Decent parking was available when we arrived on a Saturday for lunch. Got two plates that both came with plenty of white rice (more than other places!), a small container of a thicker sauce to put on the meat, and a simple mostly iceberg salad with dressing on the side. Spicy chicken teriyaki- pretty good, nice & juicy strips of chicken covered in red sauce. I added the thick sauce on the side to balance out for added sweetness. Beef teriyaki- nice char on thin cuts of beef! Great texture and the sauce on the beef was perfect, didn't need the extra thicker sauce on the side. I just wish there was a bit more beef... since the cuts were thin it disappeared quickly. Compared to other places, the price was good, love that the beef was charred instead of just soft & fried, the taste for both meats was good but not my favorite... but it's up there. I'd like to come back to try other dishes like yakisoba and tempura. read more

They share a lot (behind the building) with the restaurant next door, but each have their own designated spots. Service was friendly and prompt. If you order in (I ordered take-out, but noticed) they bring your food items to your table. There are only 3 booths to fit 4 people + a larger table in the center of the space that could maybe hold 4-6. There is a picnic table right outside if you want to do that as well. We ordered a chicken bento with tempura and a tofu bento with vegetable tempura. (Totalling $33 & change.) Everything looked and tasted delicious! It was a lot of food. Definitely worth it! read more

I had the beef teriyaki to go. The food was great. While I was waiting the restaurant seemed welcoming and clean. No complaints here.

Everyone who works here has always been so nice to me , especially the lovely young lady who gave me extra salad dressing when I said I loved it. Been coming here since I was a kid and don't plan on stopping. Also prices are fantastic read more

The owners are incredibly nice. Service is really fast and portions are great. I go here weekly.

This has become my favorite teriyaki spot. The food is always hot and delicious, the service is always very quick and friendly and I've not been let down in any way. Only quibble is the parking lot/entrance, but there's not a whole lot they can do about that. Just be careful getting in and out when you come visit them. read more

Decided to step in and try the spot that has been around what seems like forever. Read some of the reviews saw the pictures of their spicy chicken and that is what I ordered. The food came out super quick around five minutes...granted it was 11 AM. The portion was huge and they did not skimp on the sauce whatsoever. The taste is fantastic. The chicken tastes fresh. What I like is they pour the meat and sauce over the top of the bed of sticky rice. read more

For an inexpensive meal, this is a good place. I was attracted to this place, by he large number of construction workers eating outside at their picnic tables. Construction workers seems to know good places to eat. For me, I always get the bento box when I order. This includes miso soup, sushi, salad, egg roll and your choice of teriyaki meat with rice. A substantial serving for under 20.00. I can recommend the short rib bento box, the prawn and the chicken bento boxes. All are good and you are guaranteed to be full after your meal. There is a hard working husband and wife team, who often are constantly answering the phone and dealing with pick up orders. The miso soup could be better, but the whole combination of what you get is great. Salad has a nice ginger dressing. Eggroll/ Shrimp is good, you can also get half and half of each. Sushi roll is nice, with avocado. Generous portions of chicken, short ribs and prawns on a skewer. Not a big fan of their rice, but the teriyaki sauce that comes with the food is delicious. Seems to be mostly a takeout place, but they do have four tables for eating in. Your food will come entirely in takeout boxes, even if you order in like I do. A dependable place for good teriyaki. read more

I had a few take-outs from this Mom-and-Pop shop, the portion is always so generous. Teriyaki chicken is tasty & juicy, fried rice is not greasy at all. Yes, maybe they are not the most authentic Teriyaki and attendant are busy multitasking/doing other stuff in between orders but my order always came out quick & delicious. Highly recommended! read more

This place is so cute & welcoming. I went on a whim to have a family lunch & everything was delicious. The bento box meals are huge & we took enough home to have dinner also. I think the potstickers might be handmade because they were so juicy & even the ubiquitous California rolls tasted fresh and unique. read more
