I love this place. Is solid, consistent and reliable. The service is great, family owned and ran and the offer lunch specials to the nearby high school kids which I think is great. They have a few tables for dining in but is also a good place for takeout. Tip: order extra chicken/protein. Is a good deal and will make one order be more than enough for 2 people. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - 19. Chicken & Katsu - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

This shop follows the unfortunate trend of pre-cooking all their chicken and then "heating it up" when you order. For $16 a plate having it grilled when you order is basic (like "Maki Stand Roll and Bento" in Redmond!). This place mails it in big time. Also - $16-$18 a plate doesn't even include an actual plate or silverware. They serve everything in to go boxes even if you sit inside at a table. Their water to drink? Hot! The machine doesn't even dispense room temp water. Then of course their check out system asks for a tip. For what? A walk up order process? No thx. Why 2 stars? That food is actually ok and you can tell this was probably a once great teriyaki spot but the owner has really let go of any pride in his work. Please step it up or let another business give Sammamish something worth paying for. I would prefer the former! read more

Ordered tofu teriyaki and it was nothing like the pictures or description on DoorDash . I was expecting crispy tofu triangles but instead I got soggy sauce covered tofu. It tastes ok but just not at all what I expected and now I'm cranky. Only giving them as high as 3 stars because I don't want to harm a small business. My friends were satisfied with their chicken katsu though read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Tofu Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

I ordered spicy chicken just now and it's the worst teriyaki I have seen or had. Water down weird sauce and the rice taste super funny. I took one bite and spit it out. I wouldn't suggest not coming here. Wasted my time and money doing take out. read more

as a student this 8 dollar meal is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. It really is that good.

Very good prices , the food is tasty and the owners are so nice ! A must eat in Sammamish

This is the place for the hard working blue collar workers serving our community. Sure, service isn't great and the presentation is nothing to write home about. What they do provide is a generous serving of food with decent quality for the price. We had enough leftovers for a few more meals afterwards. The owners are nice genuine people. They're just not into small talk. Please consider them when you want something quick and simple for takeout on those busy evenings. read more

I wanted to support local on the Plateau and visited Nasai Teriyaki near Trader Joes and Safeway. Like everything, the cost of food and services has increased and the #1 Chicken Terriyaki is $14.99 + tip and tax so close to $20. Costs aside and the portions and wait time, I was disappointed. It took 20+ minutes to get my to-go order even though I was the only person in the restaurant. Someone placed an order of 3 chicken Teriyakis, 10 minutes after me and there food arrived before mine was available. I voiced my concern about the crazy long wait time when no body was in the restaurant and me arriving at 3:45pm... I was hoping that maybe it took so long as the food was being freshly cooked and would be piping hot... I took it home and ate it and the food wasn't warm so this wasn't the case. I think the long wait to get my food was due to either poor communication from the front of the house staff to the cooks or the cooks were on break when I ordered... Unfortunately although I am a local to the community, I do not plan on returning due to slow service, OK food etc... read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

Chicken was very dry and hard to chew. Yakisoba was overcooked and mushy. All the noodles broke into small pieces. Will not order here again. 3 entrees were $70. read more

I love teriyaki and I always drive past this location so one day after work I stopped by . Although I'm glad I tried it, I'll never be back . The customer service and friendliness just wasn't there , but it was better than the food was. The portion size was great but the chicken did NOT taste anything like teriyaki . It looked more like a thin thin layer of gravy or something . I didn't even finish it , I'll bring it home to my kids. The salad dressing was good , but that's about it . So disappointed, oh well , on to the next stop . Ps the health rating is only at ok, I really like to see "excellent " or "good" read more

Absolutely delectable, best tofu I've EVER had. I highly recommend to allll in the americas. Travel the WORLD if you have to. Amazing, incredible, showstopping, AMAZING service. Very kind workers. You should win an award for being so cool I double tap like this place very much. read more

The food just wasn't very good. Veggies under cooked, as well as the noodles unfortunately

I was really hungry so I decided to grab some chicken teriyaki to-go. The food was prepared quickly and I was happy they remembered to put napkins and a fork in my bag (because some places forget). The salad that came with the teriyaki was alright. Standard teriyaki joint lettuce and dressing. The rice was also fine. The chicken... the chicken was tasty, but I got really unhappy when I realized that the entree box was overflowing (too much chicken and a bunch of sauce pooling in the bag). I was not interested in carrying around a leaky teriyaki box all day and not interested in eating more chicken in one meal than I probably eat in a week or maybe even a month, so most of it ended up in the garbage. This "serving" would have been great for a group, but for me it was annoying and led to a stomach ache (even though I ate maybe 1/3 or 1/4 of the food). The food was pretty tasty and a good value ($10 could have probably fed 3-5 people) so I'm going to have to go with 4 stars... but I don't want to get any entrees here in the future, and probably won't go back at all. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - This is one serving of chicken teriyaki?!? Good "value" except I don't have an office to feed, so most of this will be tossed :( - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

I usually get takeout from here and I recently went the other day. Yakisoba was not my favorite, but the gyoza and the chicken teriyaki was pretty yum. I thought it was a bit pricey for only three items, but not bad. It's the closest one in my area, so will continue to go when I crave teriyaki. read more

Worst Teriyaki ever! Whatever you do, don't order the chicken here. It is completely inedible and you might risk breaking a tooth if you tried. We enjoyed the rest of the meal reasonably but had to throw away the chicken in both our entries. Complete waste of time and money. Thee tempura is better by comparison, but certainly not the best. We will not go back! read more

The employees here are extremely rude and have no problem letting you know that you are not important as a customer. I would avoid. Unless you enjoy that sort of thing. read more

Really good service and you get to dump as much teriyaki sauce as you want if you read any of the bad reviews they're all wrong this place is one of the best the food was the right huge portion with sweet taste and very warm and perfect made my mouth water and made me feel like a brod warrior eating with passion and strength I highly recommend this place read more

Bang for your buck! Delicious and thick slices of meet. Always been my favorite spot when i come back home to visit family.

The Beef short ribs teriyaki is awesome! Try their Yakisoba if you need a noodle fill up.

Pretty standard teriyaki place. I usually get the spicy chicken which they prepare in 10-15 minutes most of the time. Portions are good. Sure not all the pieces of chicken are perfectly juicy but definitely value for money. Never had an issue with the service. read more

It always smells awesome when I walk by. I'm always after my husband to eat. Last night I bought three entrees: chicken teriyaki, spicy chicken garlic teriyaki, and pork teriyaki. It was about $40 including tax. No worries because the portions are a good size. The only one that was edible was the regular chicken teriyaki. The pork was really overcooked and tough. The spicy garlic chicken had a great flavor but also REALLY overcooked. Essentially ended up with a $40 chicken teriyaki. Not going back :( read more

Nasai is such a great restaurant! During the lock down, they've worked tireless to keep us fed and with peace of mind during a difficult time. Thank you for the food! read more

Nasai Teriyaki - a thank card in a plastic bag - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

If you want huge quantities of low quality food than this is your place. Pretty much what you would expect from your standard teriyaki place. Good value for the money depending on what you get. My kids loved the chicken teriyaki and it was enough to feed both of them for two meals. There is also a brown rice option, which made the meal reasonably healthy. Side salad is just iceberg. Pretty much a throw away. My husband ordered veggie Pad Thai for us and this is less of a value. Still a huge portion but the addition of tofu made the whole order $11, which I would not consider cheap. Was enough for three meals total. Of course, if you want real Pad Thai go to a Thai restaurant. The noodles were surprisingly spicy and that's all the good I have to say about the dish. Definitely not authentic. No vegetables, not enough tofu (even after spending extra for it), not enough of anything except noodles, noodles, and more noodles. Plus, they threw white rice into the container. Why would you need rice with an order of....rice noodles? Pure, cheap filler. Better value if you are a kid or a meat eater. read more

This place has really gone down hill. The meat quality seems to have gotten worse but that was not the biggest problem. Everything we ate tasted like it had been frozen and defrosted. The sauce was pretty runny. I ordered the chicken breast too, So the quality of the meat should have been better. To top it off the gal at the front desk was pretty short and rude. read more

Nasai Teriyaki is single handedly the most versatile and delicious restaurant in the state of washington. My friend and I have just ordered 4 entree's and within 10-15 minutes we had our food ready to go. The service was extravagant, and i will certainly be coming back here when i am looking for a top tier restaurant to satisfy my hunger needs. Also, my favorite dish has to be the Chicken Katsu, but i advise if you like the sauce, ask for an extra and they will give you extra sauce for free because of how nice they are. read more

Pleasant & friendly! One of my FAV family-owned 'hole in the wall' places to get #affordable, #nutritious #food 'on the go'. They put so much meat in one order, I have enough for 2-3 meals, adding my own #veggies & it's not ' rice heavy'. You can also 'eat in', if you want a biz brunch or dinner on The Plateau. Cozy, light... perfect space for a home-cooked meal! read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Teriyaki Beef & Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

Great food. Fast service. Good value for your money. I really enjoyed this place. I ordered the chicken and gyoza. Comes with a hearty portion of pre-sauced chicken (thigh) meat, rice, side iceberg lettuce salad and 5 gyoza with a dipping sauce. I would go again. read more

Absolutely Terrible!!! Don't waste your money! Ordered Teriyaki chicken was dry as the Arizona desert. I'll never go back

Today's special: syrupy pad thai. I got the "vegetarian" version. Nearly vegetable and nutrition free - just a sad colorless plate of sugary rice noodles, white rice, and chopped iceberg lettuce (gag). Edible, but devoid of character or redeeming qualities. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Sad special: "veggie" pad Thai. - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

Huge portion of chicken teriyaki. I'm stuffed. Only thing I didn't like was the salad dressing. I prefer the typical white asian dressing.

Their prices keep going up, but there is no corresponding increase in quality or quantity. The owner always has a scowl on his face and acts as if he is doing you a favor by buying his $12 noddles. The only reason these guys survive is because August Moon is so bad. read more

I would have given it a -5 star. The gal behind the counter was rude and the pa tai was inedible slop absolutely hog slop not fit for pigs and it costed 15.00 read more

First time visiting this place. Ordered chicken teriyaki and the amount of chicken could last me at least 2 meals. I wonder why there isn't a half-order option which makes a lot more sense. Lettuce salad works for me just fine. read more

Nasai Teriyaki - Teriyaki Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

This is our go-to spot for teriyaki in Sammamish. Kind of found this when we first moved in over 10 years ago and we haven't found any better since. Ambiance isn't their forte but then again I don't come here for the dacor. Their food may not or maybe authentic but it's really good. The value is exceptional for this area and just about anywhere. Does get busy around lunch time and when the schools let out. Very nice people who owned and run the restaurant. read more

It's a clean place and the order was put together correctly, but there's no joy in this food. My order of chicken teriyaki (#1) barely showed evidence of being grilled, it certainly didn't taste that way. The sauce meets the definition of a teriyaki sauce, but it was uninspired enough to come out of a Kraft Foods bottle. Service was similarly hum-drum. I don't need a convenience teriyaki joint to rock my world, but it does at least need to leave me satisfied. Next time I'll pass. read more

Ordered veggie pad Thai with tofu and noodle soup, also veggie. Pad Thai came with rice??? And a small salad with only lettuce. It had 5 pieces or do of vegetables and mostly noodles. Very non pad Thai tasting. Noodle soup was better, although it too had only 5-6 pieces of veggies. They also gave us a meat pot sticker with it, although we made it clear we were vegetarian. Most ordinary food. Definitely not for vegetarians read more

Food is ok but customer service is awful. The husband is always frowning like he is not happy to see you buying their food. I thought I will support a local business buy buying my son's dinner even though we have food at home. So I ordered the regular chicken teriyaki with one of the owners (wife). The security screen caught my attention as I waited for my order. So I decided to put my glasses on and see how the food was being prepared on the screen. I thought I saw the cook touching the garbage as he was preparing an order but quickly realized there were two people in the kitchen, one was cooking while the other was cleaning. The next I heard was the owner (husband) yelling "what you watching", those were his exact words. He might have repeated himself twice because I was so focused on what I thought I saw was an unsanitary food handling. So I responded by saying, I was watching how my food was being prepared. I thought that was rude of the owner to yell at me but to top it off, as soon as I was done responding, they started talking in their native language. It was very obvious they were talking about me. I was not doing anything wrong. The security screen was located in an area where customers ordering or waiting for their food can see it. I suggest they place the security screen behind and under the counter so only them can see it . This whole occurrence just turned me off. They just lost my business including my whole family. read more

One star for quantities. The Ramen is basically some strange flavor instant noodle. read more

It was clean, fast and lots of food for the money. I got the chicken and gyoza combo. Chicken was rubbery, not grilled and slathered in teriyaki sauce, which was the only flavor. Woman dropped plate off at my table, muttered something about chopstick or fork and motioned over by the counter where she went and sat down again, so I got up and grabbed it for myself. I watched the same confusion with another set of customers that followed. I left hungry and unsatisfied. read more

I've been here a couple times since I moved to Issaquah/Sammamish a couple years ago. They give huge portions - I had plenty left over for dinner and the next day's lunch. I called my order for the chicken & katsu combo in and it was ready by the time I got there. It also comes with a side salad and I like their dressing-its a lemon flavored dressing. But like others have said, the chicken is dry, rubbery and covered in sauce. I felt like it used to be better when I first tried this place vs now. read more
