We ordered food via a delivery service. Chicken Teriyaki, Beef Teriyaki, and a Spicy Chicken dish. The beef was good. The chicken teriyaki was a little overcooked (dry). The other chicken dish used what tasted like a vinegar based sauce, similar to a Buffalo sauce. I didn't care for it. We have ordered from here before, and will do so again. One out of three dishes was good. We wanted to try something different. Time to go back to our old standby dishes. read more

Good fast service, food seemed fresh and hot for take out. I ordered combo teriyaki chicken/gyoza for hubby $14.50 came w/2 scoops rice and container of salad. He was happy w/ everything, they even did extra sauce w/o charge. I ordered General Tso & Garlic chicken combo (special request) but paid $18.99 for it. It came with 2 scoops rice, unfortunately no salad at that price. I sadly ordered wrong thing, I thought it wasn't battered and expected spice. It was battered and drenched in a sweet thick sauce as if I ordered sweet & sauce chicken, ugh. The garlic chicken was also battered!! Never we had it served that way, again a heavy sauce lacking garlic savory flavor. I was very disappointed, I wanted both grilled, spicy and garlicky, total opposite. Portion ample, just ordered wrong things. I'd go again but ask before ordering. read more

Better than it used to be. Great ckn teriyaki. Love the salad and dressing!! Ckn Chow mein not so much.

I tried to place a takeout order about an hour before closing and requested a simple modification to my meal--adding garlic sauce to the chicken chow mein, which they've done for me in the past without any issue. However, the woman on the phone refused, and when I explained that this has never been a problem before, I was met with resistance. My boyfriend called a few minutes later to place the same order. She told him they wouldn't accept it unless he could pick it up within 10 minutes--this was still 50 minutes before closing. He agreed to that, but once he mentioned the garlic sauce modification, she abruptly to him no. It's frustrating because not only is garlic sauce already on their menu with other dishes (like the garlic chicken dish), but I've also had this exact request fulfilled before around the same time of night. As someone who's worked in food service, I understand what's reasonable--and a small request like this, made an hour before closing, definitely is. It felt less like policy and more like she just didn't want to be bothered. read more

The teriyaki was good and nice full plate. I asked the owner to give me no sauce over the chicken and extra salad no rice, and she accommodated me with no problem. read more

The hype is real here! Like the feeling when you get your first apartment and can now say, "#$#% them dishes" and eat cookies in the bed. The Food: The good here is always top notch and if you're from the Seattle area we know our Teriyaki. The portion sizes here always HUGE and you can make any entree spicy for .50 more (totally worth it, take a pill). I usually get the amazing spicy chicken, but this time I ordered the spicy teriyaki beef and it was just as good. The beef was cooked very nicely and the portion size was about double what you would get at a normal teriyaki restaurant. I definitely plan on going back and trying more of their menu. PROS: -Food -Portion size -Speedy service -Prices CONS: -Seating area -No Curry Katsu read more

Updating review: Well .... Staying off the carbs so I wanted JUST mixed veggies - no rice. They charged me the $11.25 PLUS ANOTHER $4.50 for stir fry veggies which was ONLY 2 1/2 cups of cabbage and ONE broccoli floret ????? If your going to order just off the menu with no changes - good place -- but making changes $$$$ -- they charge you for every little thing. Not happy about the EXTRA CHARGES, just because I don't want the carbs in my order. read more

Once again want to be able to give a half star. I would like to give 3 1/2 for this teriyaki place but can't give 4. Met a friend here for lunch about a week ago. We both ordered the same thing the #16 chicken teriyaki & gyoza combo. Was disappointed they didn't have lunch specials at lower prices. And had I realized the size of the order my friend and I could have split it. She wisely ordered hers with teriyaki sauce on the side. Mine was drowned in the sauce. The meat itself was good. All white meat. The salad also received a generous helping of dressing. The gyoza were my favorite part of the meal. We dined in and it got quite smoky from the kitchen. Luckily the lady working the counter opened the door to air it out. Unfortunately she shut it too soon and it got smoky again shortly. I think they need a better ventilation system in their kitchen. read more

Modoo Teriyaki - plate of food on a table - Japanese Near Me - Sumner, Washington

We've been coming here for years now and the food has stayed relatively consistent. Our go to is the spicy chicken, it has just the right amount of spice for us. Their salad dressing is so good! Recently, we ordered and the rice was a bit on the stale side but still pretty good. Normally it has a much fluffier consistency. The lady at the front is always so nice, we love coming in. We have only eaten there once or twice, it's small, there's a couple of tables available. But mostly we stop by to bring home. Portions are always big enough that we have leftovers for the next day. read more

I hate that I'm giving them two stars, but after trying them twice, and our last order tasting so weird, we are just not fans. The first time we went was two years ago, and the food was alright. The place could really use a bit of a make over, as the carpet is old and ripped up all along the walls. The service is good. Our last order was during the snowstorm and there was a long wait, which was okay, because people kept ordering to go, no biggie. Once I got home and tried the beef, I had to stop eating it. The consistency was between minced and sliced beef, it tasted like strong chemicals and I couldn't eat it. I ate the rest, but was very paranoid about what that was all about. Once my husband got home and ate his, he said it tasted weird and wouldn't eat it. It's unfortunate because they're local to us but we will have to order it from another locally owned business. read more

The BEST Fried Rice (w/ combo) I have ever had hands down!! Food is Always freshly made and the portions are well worth the price.. Definitely puts me in a food-coma every time LoL!! And customer service is great- for one person the cashier Lady who is always working does a great job of handling all Walk-in customers (including those who dine-in) + all Pickup customers. She handles the pressure with ease. Great hospitality!! The restaurant is pretty small but I always dine-in when I go after work. Most customers order To-Go. Overall I definitely highly recommend. Thank you Modoo!! read more

So good! Everything from the salad, rice and chicken. Some of the best teriyaki I've ever had.

Super Disappointed.... staff is friendly and place is nice and clean. But sadly the food was very meh.... The chicken teriyaki was OK, a bit dry and the Mongolian beef was not good... It was a cabbage mix, no rice noodles, beef was dry and flavor was nothing like Mongolian beef I've tasted. read more

Great service and amazing food!! I am usually not the hugest fan of Teriaki but my roommate offered to pay so I figured why not. I was so glad I tried it cause hot damn it was good! No weird chewy meat pieces and the sauce they use is magnificent! TONS of food for a great price. The only thing I have to say is I am bummed they aren't open on Sundays when I was having a mad craving for it yesterday. read more

This place never disappoints. Me and my boyfriend come here whenever we crave for teriyaki. Their chicken and spicy chicken teriyaki are bomb. Their portion sizes is amazing, definitely worth the value! I also love their yakisoba and other chicken dishes. They're also super fast and efficient. The workers are super friendly. :) read more

I've eaten here only 3 times and all three times I have been satisfied with my choice. Spicy chicken is spicy and saucy. The chicken Yakisoba is nicely done, noodles are cooked and seasoned perfect. Each meal provided a large amount of food for the price. The side salad is your typical salad with the white dressing. read more

This is the place to go for easy, over the phone pick up orders. Meals come as we order and the food is great! Inside is quite small so it feels crowded when it's busy so not a place to sit and eat at when busy. read more

For lunch today I decided to try this local teriyaki spot. It had good reviews on yelp and I was in the mood for teriyaki chicken. I didn't have to wait much for my food, which was really good. I think I got my order within 5-6 minutes. I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki plate and the chicken did have some spice to it. I was afraid it might be too spicy to eat but it actually had the right amount of spice. Flavor wise it wasn't amazing but I think it was good especially for the price. Portions of chicken were definitely generous and very filling. I would definitely comeback another time. read more

My coworker had food delivered to the office the other day and it smelled incredible. I got the name of the place and called in my order, Orange Chicken & Chicken Teriyaki combo, which is what she had ordered 2 days prior and all i could think about for the 2 days. The portions are big & the presentation of the food looks as delicious as it tastes.

._. I love old Asian ladies. Lol (Well, I can't really start like that but hey they're awesome.) Like an untap knowledge of awesomeness in kindness. ._. And who doesn't love customer service?!? (Sloths and honey badgers that's who! So if you're proceeding to read this review.. and if your a honey badger or sloth you can slowly and grumpy walk out. [*in the back room a honey badger walks out grumbling*]) Well ^-^ now that we got that sorted! Let us begin this review. *poodle cues up review theme music!!!*... which is "if your happy and you know it..." Atmosphere: Can only be described like any mom and pop teriyaki shop. (And I swear if you've never been to a simple teriyaki shop. I will kick you in the knees and rub sand in your eyes, while I drag you out of your job to one. [Cuz everyone needs to experience the Joy's of common restaurants.]) Its a delight of a restaurant. A bit dirty but hey your basically paying what your getting. (Like buying a 87 Honda Civic and expecting it to run like a stallion in the derby race. Only to find out that they only except horses not cars..) The walls are decorated with little fishes and cute asian knick knacks settled and nothing flashy but falls into the stereotype of all teriyaki restaurants. (Which I'm always welcomed to. :3) a row of 3 sets of tables to sit and a big menu in the cashier. (For blind people as myself.) Customer Service: Was excellent, that old asian lady at the front was super sweet. ._. (I wanted to steal her and keep her in my house, so when ever I felt down she would be my personal motivator coach. But alas kidnapping is still illegal so no..) She was patient in waiting to take our orders and as well gave us options to maximize what we were wanting. (Wait.. your showing me an option where I can get more food for a lower price.. .o. whaa yes please!) The serving time was decent and didn't wait long. (Unlike when your date says that she'll be down in 5 mins for your date. Only to find out that's its been 3 days, you've been in the wrong house, upstairs is a parrot that learned to say that phrase and has been comforting you everytime you were about to leave.. -.-) Will be coming back, due to the welcoming customer service. Food: Food portions were huge ._. I could say that there was a bit tad too much rice. (But if your a body builder this is your dream place to come.) The chicken katsu was crispy and not burnt at all. I could still dive my teeth into the center with that nirvana sound of crisp. (I'm drooling harder than when Atreus [poodle] watches me eat steak.) The sauce was a delight and different from the typical katsu sauce but it was different in a pleasant way. *giggles... manly giggles o.o* besides that a well standard teriyaki meal. Conclusion: With a typical and cheesy atmosphere that I traditionally love about these teriyaki shops, an amazing sweet old asian lady that gives customer service a 5 star and standard teriyaki meal (that would make any buff guy hit his carb goal for the day) this place is good. (Now all the honey badgers and sloth can return the normal review mode.) ._. read more

Out of the teriyaki places in the area, they have the best. It's not overly sugary like other places. Also, best chicken katsu. I've tried others that were stiff and even burnt. Their orange chicken is also really good, as well as their spicy beef yakisoba! We were missing out on that one but now it's a must have for every order! read more

We were feeling hungry and didn't want to cook, and teriyaki sounded great. We called (10 minutes before they closed) and they were SO kind and got our order in for us with no hesitation! The food was literally ready within minutes and the sweet lady who works there even took the time to wipe down a sauce drop on our box. We ordered their regular chicken teriyaki - great flavor and the rice was cooked perfectly. The whole fam raved about the salad dressing as it has great consistency and thickness (unlike other teriyaki restaurants who opt to water their dressing down). Would recommend and look forward to ordering from here again! read more

I have a near before and have always been pretty satisfied with the food I would definitely stick to the tempura or teriyaki because the wonton soup is pretty flavorless. It is certainly not won ton but uncooked gyozas with a whole egg dropped (not stirred) with some fab age floating around. I wanted to love it but it was lacking any kind of flavor in the broth, and to me that's what make the soup. I did get the tempura shrimp and it was amazing as usual but it was $18.09 for a bowl of "won ton " soup and shrimp tempura appetizer so this is pretty spendy to me for teriyaki joint. I will give it another shot just not the soup. Lady is super super nice read more

I moved to sumner this last August , and after doing a little exploring I realized that the food choices in sumner were VERY limited . After my boyfriend decided that he wanted to try this place because it "sounded" good we went it and took our shot there . We tried their spicy Ramen, and I have to say that I was very impressed. It was very delicious and filling. I would not say that there is anything super special about it, but I do appreciate that it is actually flavorful and actually spicy. I find that with these type of restaurants, their soups are often lacking in flavor and spices, and usually just taste like a bowl full of sodium. I would definitely try this place again and I recommend it to anyone who stops by. UPDATE: living here the past year this restaurant has made it as one of our weekly options. They are consistently putting our great food and we have never had anything that was bad. We will be moving to Olympia soon , and I am sad to be so far from this place ! read more

Service was very friendly and attentive. She thanked me a few times on the way out which I appreciate as I as trying to help a local business during our pandemic. I got chicken katsu with general tso chicken with 2 egg rolls. Unfortunately the katsu (which is my favorite) was really dense and kinda chewy. The General TSO chicken had fantastic flavor which made me want more but the chicken was also dense and chewy. Flavors were there, texture not. I'll come back as I've had excellent Yakisoba here before. Will update review if needed. read more

The food was delicious and most importantly the service was exceptional. The women taking our order was really friendly and made me and my family feel really welcomed, which is a plus in my books. I ordered the special with both chicken teriyaki and Mongolian beef and honestly I liked the Mongolian beef better. The only reason why is because the chicken lack sauce and seemed a little dry. Despite that I will go back again and just will be asking for more sauce. read more

Consistently good and quick. It's our go to teriyaki spot. Food is always hot and tastes great.

Disappointing, we stopped in because it was convenient to where we were. while the portion was large on the chicken teriyaki, the sauce was very thin...like soy sauce thin. We prefer the thick sauce that coats the chicken. The Kungpao was the same chicken as the teriyaki with frozen peas and carrots with a little bit of cabbage. Runny sauce in the bottom. No peanuts. Egg rolls were ok, not greasy and they were crunchy. But the oil tasted burnt/old. They are pricey compared to similar places as well. Would not recommend read more
