They have dialed in the taste (chicken is juicy), pricing, and portion size. The world is littered with dry teriyaki, but this place is an oasis in the desert. Staff is a skeleton crew (Korean family?) so you gotta be ready to do some bit of self service (water, napkins, chop sticks, etc). Not a luxurious dining area, but so what - It's a simple grab & go teriyaki joint. For taste, it stands above the rest! read more

Niko Teriyaki - Salmon Teriyaki. Out of bounce!! - Japanese Near Me - Olympia, Washington

We have done take out for years. Owners are friendly. Recently, we picked up Beef Yakisoba and House Fried Rice. I was able to get 4 meals out of the rice and the husband got 2 out of the Yakisoba. Both were quite tasty! read more

A must try. I was traveling for business and went looking for dinner one evening. I came accross Niko Teriyaki, hidden in the back of a strip mall, and am so happy I gave it a try. A great experience from the momentr you walk into the front door. You are greated with a friendly smile. The menu has something for everyone and the food is very fresh, delicious, with enormous portions to the point I could not finish my meal. Even got a bonus of some yummy pot stickers for free. read more

Flavorful and delicious!! Accurate spice ranges. We come to Washington from out of State at least once a year and this place has become our staple! Family owned and just AMAZING! I definitely recommend! read more

My family and I were taken aback by the level of generosity of this place. First, the portions are enormous, the food tasted so delicious. However, the gentleman that greeted us as we walked in was sooo friendly and gracious. He took our order, spoiled my kids, and gave us free pot stickers! He was so nice, but let's get real here. The food was amazing. Had the spicy chicken and beef broccoli. Chicken was cooked perfect and wasn't chewy. Beef was soo dang tasty! I will def hit this place up when I'm passing thru Olympia! read more

The food is fresh and so delicious. Orange chicken has a stronger orange flavor than other places, and it was special because it was like a homemade sauce. And the owner was so kind. I'm going to come often because my kids like it too. read more

The food was very good i enjoyed the workers who were so kind. The atmosphere was very comforting and relaxed.

I was visiting from out of town and decided to stop. The restaurant is tucked into a strip mall. I'm so glad we decided to stop. The lunch special was affordable and had a big portion. All of us preferred the chicken teriyaki with gyoza and egg rolls. Everything was hot and fresh. The gyoza were crispy. The teriyaki was the star of the afternoon. Chicken was cooked perfectly-it was still juicy. The sauce was sweet without being overly sweet. I really enjoyed the veggies in the side as well. Great place ace very friendly owners! read more

Had the salmon teriyaki. It comes with salad and white rice. I asked to sub more salad as I don't eat white rice very often. The owner was quite willing to make the change. He noticed I ate all the salad and asked if I wanted more, so he clearly wanted me to leave satisfied. Everything was fresh, the salmon was a nice portion--5 or 6 ounces I would guess. I would return. read more

Food's good. Service is quick. Place is always clean and tidy when I go there. Love the spicy chicken and general Tso's teriyaki combo. Portions are BIG here. That's always a plus to me. read more

Amazing service, super fast, super yummy! good quality food with a very respectful owner. Definitely coming back to eat again

So disappointed to write this. We've given them 5 visits to redeem themselves. My favorite dish here is the spicy chicken - something about the sauce at spice level 4 is amazing. Sadly the chicken has been so dry it's inedible. The last 5 orders (hoping each time it will return to their delicious quality) have been consistently dried out meat. I don't know if they have a new chef, or new ownership. I really wish they'd fix it! read more

Really big portions. I ordered shrimp fried rice and tofu yakisoba and the food was filled to the top of the container. Totally worth it for the quantity alone but my son really liked the rice and my husband almost finished the yakisoba. I kid you not there was more fried rice in the container then I make at home! Plus side the shrimp was cleaned throughout, some places don't clean their shrimp all the way and its such a turnoff. I would definitely come here again if I pass through this area. read more

Friendly staff, Im not a tofu person but really love their tofu teriyaki! Their sauces are really good, sweet and light.

Service was cold and very unfriendly. This was my first time coming in and already I got a bad impression. She didn't have people out the door, she just looked annoyed. I was looking on the menu for a lunch special and she just stood there staring at me. Not helpful at all. I finally found the specials and began to order, she replied in a noticeably annoyed tone to anything I asked. I ordered 2 bowls. One for my husband that I was going to drop off at his work and one for myself. I ordered a sweet and sour chicken. Usually the sweet and sour sauce is on the side, anywhere else I've gone to. Not here, so if you don't like soggy sweet and sour anything, I would let them know in advance to not slap it on and drench your bowl in it. I asked if I could substitute the rice for the garlic noodles, and at first she told me no and then after she made up her mind, she said it would be a $3 up charge for them. I like garlic noodles so I didn't mind paying extra. You would think that if your paying extra that they would serve you noodles the way they pack in the rice. It literally doesn't cost them that much more to include noodles, so why are you so STINGY with the noodles? What special thing do you do to them other that make them taste like garlic and fry them with soy sauce. No veggies just noodles. To make things worse, I could see why they drowned the sweet n sour chicken with sauce. The chicken was SO DRY that even with all that sauce I had a hard time eating it. What's even more interesting is that as I was waiting in my order, the lady got a few male Caucasian customers and she suddenly got really friendly. Smiling, laughing, bowing and oh so helpful. Whatever, people are who they are, as for me, I won't be recommending them to anyone at my office nor here. Not to mention I will be finding a happier teriyaki somewhere else. read more

Found this little place a couple weeks ago! Back today for a late lunch to go. Chicken noodles were so delicious! Egg rolls are pretty tasty too! Fast service! Our lunch was ready in less than 10 minutes. read more

Oh lort, its been a minute since I've been back. This time around I got the sweet & sour chicken and while fresh is ok (a smidge on the tough side), it is next to impossible to eat if you end up with leftovers, the chicken becomes hard as a rock. I'm mostly sad that anywhere else I get sweet & sour chicken it comes with pineapple chunks with green bellpepper mixed in, this is just breaded chicken with a sweet & sour sauce on it. My husband got the almond chicken which was identical to mine... with the exception of a different sauce. Our bill was almost $50 for 2 very simple dishes and a side of pot stickers. read more

Best teriyaki in Olympia/Tumwater, kinda pricey but you get what you pay for! Always still good for left overs too! read more

Forgot to take pictures but ate there yesterday and they gave chalk food so much food that I was so stuff was crazy and it was so delicious that I wanted to eat it all also had dinner so it was two meals in one read more

I sat at the bar and ordered the Hawaiian Blue Fin roll. It was the best sushi I have had in years. Service was outstanding. Sushi chefs were amazing. Each plate looked like a work of art, beautifully presented. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The only down was that the sushi bar was by the door and it was chilly outside so it was cold anytime anyone came in. read more

Oh yum! Just had our first delivery meal and definitely won't be our last!. I only found this business by exploring who delivers to my address. I've been searching for a good fried rice in the town FOR YEARS and think I finally found it. We had their combo fried rice and beef broccoli dish--I think we will have 3 good meals (see pics of leftovers) because we are not huge eaters. I am happy. read more

We got 2 orders of Mongolian Beef, 2 salads, an order of gyoza and some egg rolls. $68 later, and we get home and start eating. Our Mongolian Beef turned out to be Mongolian onions with a few pieces of beef and it tasted terrible! If your going to raise your prices, make it worth it. Sorry. Not sorry. 1 star. read more

Easily the worst General Tso Chicken in the area. Looks nothing like the customers photos from years ago. I think they changed the recipe or something. It's a large portion but it's just a thick red clump of dry chicken now. The teriyaki chicken was average. read more

Mr and Mrs Kim are extremely nice and welcoming. Tiffany at the counter was also lovely. The food here was divine. I love the ambiance of the place as well, verh warm and welcoming enviroment. The chicken and gyoza were amazing. 10/10 would recommend. The egg rolls were also perfect. As well everything was hot and fresh read more

Fantastic place. This place is worth every penny. The portions are huge and fresh and oh so lovely. The staff are very kind and patient. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend going here. You won't be disappointed! Our meal was $32 but lasted us three dinners. I got the Bento A with a side of steamed vegetables. My husband had a Teriyaki + Wok and chose Beef Teriyaki and Sweet and Sour Chicken. All was delicious and perfect. read more

Are used the menu on yelp that was there when I ordered for the first time but apparently it was outdated. The person taking my call was a little rushed but still friendly. She help me figure out what exactly I was able to order not having an up-to-date menu. Food was quick I was happy to see their Covid policy and very clean and a structured sanitize procedures. The food was very, very good and it was quickly prepared after the order. It felt a little spendy when ordering but once you got the food it was totally worth it. We will be back. read more

The first time I thought maybe was just a mistake... my dumb self decided to go back again and order the same thing... the MONGOLIAN BEEF.... I have NEVER been so disappointed to open my food.. it was literally 95 percent onions... so... I paid 18 bucks for rice and onions..... I WILL NOT ORDER ANYTHING HERE AGAIN... and my boyfriend had their general chicken and the meat was jerky tossed in sauce.. it clearly had sat under a lamp and evaporated all the moisture.. BE AWARE read more

Niko Teriyaki - Mongolian Beef Wok Special - Japanese Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Went again and there have been some changes. First off, it stated "Grand Opening" on a banner. I thought ... "Hummm, it's a bit late for a 'Grand Opening'." Come to find out, the ownership and name have changed. The food tasted good. There was not as much sauce on the chicken and for my order, they did put the spicy sauce on the side. The portions are smaller and the prices have been raised by about $1.50 per item since last time I was here. I will get one of the new menus and post updated pictures. They did not seem to have the same amount of selections as before. The food tasted good and fresh; which is what I look for. read more

The servings are huge. The taste is perfect not sweet and the char is done perfectly. I could smell it in the car coming home. Super yummy read more

Ordered from Grub Hub and received less than my order. When I called GH, they basically said sorry but not sorry. Calling the restaurant, they said I must be confused because this order doesn't come with gyoza or eggroll... but here's the screenshot of my order. Clearly I'm not confused. Neither the restaurant nor GH will correct this. Bad bad bad advertising. read more

Niko Teriyaki - The menu stating this specific order of teriyaki and crispy chicken comes with gyoza and eggroll. - Japanese Near Me - Olympia, Washington

What a great surprise! After months of lockdown we yearned for a good Japanese of Chinese dinner. For the five of us we ordered Orange Chicken, Terriyaki Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, Miso soup, and Fried Rice side dishes. Way too much! We have enough left over for 3-4 lunches. Next time we'll order the entrees and perhaps one side of rice. The ingredients were terrific and the cooking perfect. Even after a 30-minute drive, dinner tasted great and was plenty warm. Two suggestions: the Miso was salty and vinegary, perhaps a difference in taste. It would be great if they'd add hot and sour soup. It would also be wonderful if they could add more pork and beef offerings. But even with those comments, Niko Teriyaki is now our go-to place and well-deserving of five stars. read more

There is enough rice to feed two families in the chicken teriyaki with fried rice, not hardly any chicken, then they throw a little bit of cabbage on top that's horrible. Way over priced. I suggest teriyaki Delight in Tumwater lots better food, more meat portions with less rice, and good price. And they give you a side salad in separate bowl which great dressing. read more

The sweet & sour chicken was pretty awful! The chicken pieces were HARD - not at all tender. Completely dissatisfying. Hard to eat, actually, because of the texture. Also, while I don't think the chicken was spoiled, it did not taste fresh at all. DO NOT ORDER THIS ITEM! read more

Given COVID 19 has interrupted enjoying a relaxing meal away from home, we must give Niko Teriyaki the highest possible rating today for making our lunch a most enjoyable and relaxing meal. We preferred to not eat inside because if COVID 19 and were going to eat in our car. Instead, we moved two chairs they had outside the door to a nice shady place a few feet away. Soon, they brought us a little table and two bottles of water to make us even more comfortable. The meal was, as usual, absolutely delicious. But the caring for our level of comfort was outstanding. read more

This was my 2nd time visiting Niko's. First time we placed a door dash order, everything was great. The 2nd time we called an order in to go. Not only was the food incredible, their hygiene during this COVID crisis was so comforting. The workers were so friendly and were constantly wiping things down, and they even separated used pens from sanitized pens!! The portion sizes are huge, food was delicious, and love the Bento box meal option. Great variety and perfect to share as a family! ALSO major plus. Their fortune cookies were OUTSTANDING. Such unique fortunes that were spot on for everyone in my family!! Will definitely be back for more!!! read more

Good food and fast service. The consistency of the egg flower soup was watery instead of thick so I was not too happy about that but the entrees were pretty good. The portions were huge and can be shared. Overall I'm satisfied. read more
