I was out test driving a 1984 vw diesel rabbit with my mom, my sister and my girlfriend. I wanted to test its weight capacity and how it drove with a full load. It seemed to drive fine, but, what if we all ate some chinese/teriyaki and then drove around a bit. Well, a quick search on the yelp app and this spot came up as not far from us, so we puttered over and ordered our food. The coolest thing about this place is the "help yourself" miso soup. And boy was it tasty! The lady helping us was super helpful and we all had our food quickly. The food itself was awesome and the helpings were plentiful. Which is a good thing, my goal here was to really make sure this car could handle a full car load of people with full stomachs. So we all finished up and then got back on the road. The car seemed fine and everyone seemed to think the food was great. Woohoo, thanks yelp reviewers, another win! read more

I am new to Seattle. That being said I've had Teriyaki in Japan, but this is very different, and as I understand, that's intentional. We had spicy and traditional, both were excellent, the rice was cooked well and the servings are ridiculously large. Food was super fast, staff was friendly. I struggle to find something not to like. I don't think I'd go for sushi here, but for fast, cheap takeout food, this is my new go to. Egg rolls and gyoza were bomb diggety, no doubt. read more

Great teriyaki joint in a small strip mall next to the safeway. The owners were really nice and I can tell the owners knew the regulars and what they order. They gave great portions and also offer miso soup for while you wait for your food! I have gone back a few times and tried a variety of items on the menu and have always been impressed. read more

I now have rather high standards for teriyaki now that I am obsessed with Nasai Teriyaki on 145th. Nori Presto was fine and did the job, but it just wasn't outstanding. The teriyaki sauce was thicker than what I'm used to, and the spicy chicken teriyaki was not spicy at all. However, the BF's katsu was delicious and very well coated with Panko. This place is run by a super sweet lady who was very accommodating even when we came in half an hour to closing, and pointed out that there was free miso soup if you dine in. read more

My fiancé and I stopped by for a quick dinner after work & both got the spicy chicken teriyaki. The owners were super friendly and prompt with the order. The portion size was really big and I thought it was a great deal :) highly recommend! read more

Nori Presto - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good teriyaki. Ready in 10 minutes just like they said. I ordered the large teriyaki chicken and it was enough for two to eat. Very large portions! Would have preferred my salad in a separate container as the warm food made it soggy, but other than that ! read more

This is a cute little ma and pa shop located in Lake City area. Yeah, the place is very quaint and traditional- but, the service here was phenomenal. The woman working was SO kind and hospitable. I asked her which was better: the tofu veggie stir fry or the sesame tofu, and she told me she preferred the veggie tofu stir fry but then while I was eating, she made me samples of sesame tofu!!! So sweet. They also offer complimentary miso soup. For 2 meals, I paid about $22.00. Not too bad, they were big portions. I'm definitely coming back when I need some comfort food. They also do self bussing, but I don't mind because they offer a compost, recycle, and trash :D read more

I've always order to go here, and enjoy the free miso soup that is offered while I wait. Usually get the small bento - Which comes with a lot of chicken/rice with gyoza, salad, and California rolls. This place is a little more expensive than most teriyaki places I've tried, but they've never let me down! Heads up sometimes the service isn't that great. The lady who I assume is the owner there usually never interacts a lot with me other than to take my payment and give me my food, but shouldn't expect too much from a quick place to grab teriyaki. read more

The big bento box is a great deal- a great selection of items and a really large amount of delicious food.

I got the spicy chicken & gyoza it was spicy but Delicious! Im so happy I just found my new teriyaki spot. read more

This is my "GO TO" teriyaki place in Seattle. I have only ordered the large chicken teriyaki - it's so tasty that I can't bring myself to order anything else. It's so large it makes two meals, maybe three! I always ask for extra sauce. TIP - call in your order and skip the wait! read more

Went here on a recommendation from my Godson. Worth a visit with delicious teriyaki, salad, and complimentary miso soup. read more

The owners are really nice and take the time to make sure their customers are happy. The chicken teriyaki was yummy and just about what I expect when I go to any teriyaki. Definately try their beef teriyaki, its soooo good and tender and juicy. read more

This restaurant serves Asian "comfort" food in good quantity. I've only ordered a couple of combo meals for take-out, but so far I'm very pleased. It's not "classic" Asian food, but reminds me of food that my mother would make or what I would eat for lunch in Hawaii. read more

This is SUPER solid teriyaki. Bigger menu than usual, lots of combo options. I've had the chicken breast yakisoba and the katsu Cali roll bento combo, both were delicious and big portions. It's on the pricier side but honestly, worth it. read more

Idk if you are like me, but I have struggled to find a GOOD teriyaki spot in Seattle that is consistent. First timer, but chicken stir fry is good! Large portion and also have soup and tea while you wait. The chicken and sesame tofu caught my eye after I ordered, definitely will be coming back to try that! read more

Nori Presto is super convenient to us and it's good. The portions are huge and prices aren't bad. If you dine in you get free miso soup while you wait for your order! Honestly, this is your standard teriyaki place, nothing out of the ordinary. The food is good though and we can always count of them for large portions with a decent price. The chicken is great, I like their gyoza and tempura. The California roll is OK, but we don't come here for the rolls. I will say the salmon is a smaller portion than chicken, but either way it's still a big portion. We like this as our go to teriyaki place in the neighborhood. read more

Great place to eat :) free complimentary miso soup is offered, which is great deal for me. I like their bento and Mongolian beef. It is a great location to get a yummy teriyaki when u need to stop by Safeway. read more

Nori Presto - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The lady that greeted me and took my order was very nice. she was even able to tell me what kind of dressing they put on the salad. I ended up paying $15 for the special of the day (chicken teriyaki with an eggroll) and I got fried rice instead of white (+2.99) and extra meat (+$2) so it's not super cheap at all. but it does come with some miso soup while you wait. the miso soup was good. simple and warm. the eggroll was small buy it was fresh and crisp. the chicken was tender and not smothered in sauce, which is good as I don't like a lot of sauce. the side salad was packed WITH the meat and such so by the time I got home it was wilted and useless. i did try some before i left and the honey mustard dressing was good but should have been packed on the side and the salad should be in a separate container so it doesn't wilt. the fried rice was not good. it is a veggie fried rice ( or at least I haven't found any meat yet) and it seemed like they just took some frozen peas,carrots, and corn and sautéed it with some sauce. the sauce on it wasn't very flavorful and caused the rice to become one blob of rice. all in all I could see trying them again without getting any fried rice. that really killed it... read more

The food is decent, but the man that works up front puts a bad taste for Nori Presto. I don't know what most of these reviews are talking about with the 5 stars. But I've been to cheaper and better teriyaki places with better customer service. The worse part about it, was I asked if it was possible to do a kalbi and gyoza combo and he rudely said no without a good explanation. I work in the restaurant industry and been into teriyaki restaurants that could've easily done it with a minimum fee. And it's always right to satisfy the customer if it could be easily done. I wasn't even asking for much then and now. read more

This place makes me miss my old Teriyaki place. Maybe this is authentic teriyaki or something? No flavor at all, teriyaki sauce was terrible, not sweet! Waited like 20 minutes at 9pm on a weeknight for carryout. I definitely won't be coming back. read more

I think one thing that has to be clarified some some... This is NOT Japanese cuisine. This is Teriyaki... And it's pretty damn good. I believe in reviewing a place for what it is... I wouldn't hold a gyro hut to the same standard as a five star dining environment. With that said, Nori Presto does the trick when you crave a teriyaki lunch. Generous portions with friendly service and complimentary miso soup make for a good quick lunch. Been here a few times and plan to come back again. It's always been pretty good! 4 free-miso-getcha-free-miso stars out of 5 read more

I couldn't believe the quantify of food we got! I ordered one of the specials - Teriyaki Chicken + eggroll for $5.99, friend ordered Beef Yakisoba for $7.79. When our plates arrived all I could say was: "Whoa". The freaking plates were overflowing. The Yakisoba was an enormous mound of beefy noodley goodness PLUS rice. Mine came with salad and TWO scoops of rice! Everything was piping hot (made to order, not sitting around in a giant steam tray in back), both meats were tender, and my eggroll was pretty tasty with some ground chicken inside not just bean threads and veggies. The quantity of leftovers was enough for each of us to have at least another lunch if not 2. Free Miso Soup if you eat there! I wish Seattle would slow down on new sushi and thai places opening and get more teriyaki joints. MOBILE Teriyaki would be awesome. read more

My favorite place for teriyaki! My boyfriend and I have been coming here since we moved in nearby almost 2 years ago, the spicy chicken teriyaki and the Katsu are both fantastic, and I personally love the spicy chicken yakiudon! The bento boxes are one of our favorite ways to get dinner with some fun variety. The people who own this place are so fantastic and I'm always happy to see them when I come in! :) read more

Teri-YUM! This place is grub. Exceptional Yakisoba, wonderful gyoza, and they have SUSHI! How can you go wrong? I haven't had any of the rolls but the ebi and sake ngiri was way better than it should have been. If you dine in you get free miso soup. The portions are large, there is adequate seating, and it is very fast. For anyone in the area looking to try a new teriyaki joint, it is the best I have been to in the area. One of the best I have ever been to. They have the bento box options so there is really more available than you should expect. See ya there. Oh, and the stampcard says Nori Presto, but I feel like the sign outside just says Nori... anyways it is next to the subway in front of the safeway. read more

Don't let the peculiar location, wedged between a convenience store and a sub shop fool you. This place is exceptional. Super friendly service, copious amounts of fresh top grade teriyaki. They are fast efficient and all smiles. In fact, the smiling giggling service is contagious! Get a great dinner and a good mood in one stop. read more

Ok, This has vaulted to my favorite teriyaki place around. I just can't get enough of their small bento box which comes with a ton of food for only 9 bucks, and their variety of entrees they offer. The staff is always very friendly and eating in consists of free miso soup! Definitely come here if you want some good, teriyaki food for a decent price and you are in the Lake City/Northgate area! read more

Great food- But don't EVER go here close to closing- apparently they hate that. Well- Not sure where i sit with this anymore...James went there last night at 15 min. to closing for a last-minute craving for salmon rolls. First off, the sushi lady rolled her eyes at the fact that she was already cleaning her station. James decided to run to the movie store super quick so he informed the lady at the register and she said 'ok'. He came back at exactly 9:00, and they had already locked their doors and took off. WTF? So he had to go back their this morning to get his money back and a guy was working the counter. At first the guy wasn't happy about James' demands of a refund, but he told the guy that even though this happened, we still like their food, that's why we would keep coming back. Technically they get a 2.5 for service, but 5 for food, so I keep them at a 4. I wish there could be split ratings.... read more

Free miso soup while you wait for food - makes me a loyal customer =) The prawn tempura is so-so, a bit overcooked. The chicken yakiudon is very good, good sized portions. The chicken teriyaki is average, about what you would expect from anywhere else. The pork katsu is crispy and flavorful, a good buy. I liked everything about this place. read more

We pretty lucky in that we live right down the street from this place. I love my Teriyaki joints, and this once is a good one. Big portions, freshly made food. Our favorite is the Large Bento since it turns into 2 meals for us. I've also had the Chicken Katsu and it's legit. Big chicken cutlet, with your typical katsu sauce on the side. Comes piping hot, right out the fryer. read more

Presto! Spice makes everything sick nice. A real solution when the flu attacks served with some fried rice. A difficult price to ask as the additional tres dollars for grain upgrade was not met with the standard of quality that is frequently aligned when it comes to additional ingredients mashing. Nori's scovilles were on point as the hot chicks meant serious business in the belly rooms. The main grain in the end was a brain drain and ultimately a pain bane. read more

I ordered the Chicken Katsu + Teriyaki combo.. took only 7 minutes to finish my order.. which I used the time to run to Safeway next door to buy some stuff. Probably one of the most efficient use of my 7 minutes ever. I like their teriyaki. I had tried their Mongolian Chicken before, which did not taste that good. But compared to other teriyaki joints I have tried before, their teriyaki is definitely better. Unlike the other reviewers, I never experienced any problem with their customer service or anything. The first night I arrived at Seattle, it was very close to their closing time and they still took our order, let us have their free miso soup (which I felt was really nice to have on a cold night).. They have always been friendly to me in a non-overwhelming way. Definitely my first choice of a quick takeout for Teriyaki. Recommended. read more

New owners and boy sad, they used to be good. I ordered the beef teriyaki and they served me half the portion they used to serve. The only thing that was good were the egg rolls. Won't be back read more

This place used to be one of my favorite teriyaki joints but they changed ownership a while back and it hasn't really been the same. The recipes stayed the same for the most part, but the portion sizes got smaller and the consistency of the food is not the same. I usually get the spicy chicken and it's pretty good but most recently it's been a bit dry the last couple times I've been there. I would generally say with the reduced portion sizes it's a bit overpriced but does the job when in need of a teriyaki fix. read more

This used to be our favorite Teriyaki place, but it seems as though there was an ownership change a few months ago. All the food tastes a little different and not as good. read more

Very rarely, I feel like Yelp has failed me. Yelp, you've failed me. After seeing a 4 star review and craving some good Japanese food, I got take out from Nori Presto. First, the positives: -Very friendly staff -Customizable bentos More importantly, the negatives: -Extremely fishy salmon teriyaki - I took two bites and stopped eating. Fishy flavor = unfresh. -Flavorless, too-soft rice on an otherwise flavorless, uninspiring california roll -Decent miso, though watery tasting I basically spent ~$11 for a bento with salmon teriyaki, gyoza, salad and cali rolls, and only ate the gyoza (standard, nothing special) Total waste of my time. I can't believe this is considered good quality Japanese food (or even average Japanese food) - I have to believe I must have come on an extreme off day. Regardless, I won't be returning. read more

By far my favorite teriyaki place in Northgate. To start off, the staff is very nice, always recognizes us with smiles. There's also complementary miso soup and tea for those who are waiting for their food. For me, the best part are the food portions! They are huge where when I order to go the top can barely stay shut! The food tastes great and we always return satisfied. read more

Food was okay the wait was horrible for teriyaki, it took 20 mins to get a bento box really ? Later the lady replied the food was mixed up. The taste was not worth it ! read more

Big fan of the value and quality! I almost always get the chicken Katsu. Nicely fried with a solid sauce to go with it. The chicken teriyaki is just ok, maybe because of the sauce. But maybe I'm not a chicken teriyaki fan overall. The bento box is a hearty meal and comes with California roll, crispy gyoza, and salad that has a delicious dressing. The couple that owns this place is very sweet, hard working, and dedicated. Plus you get free miso soup! read more

This place is simply the best teriyaki I have ever had. I have been coming here since 2007 when I was in high school, and it has AT LEAST maintained its quality over the years (and probably gotten better). I always get their spicy chicken, which is their best offering (according to none other than me). It is tender, hot, and the perfect amount of spicy. It also doesn't taste like Korean, or any other kind, of barbecue, unlike many other teriyaki places' spicy chicken. Then there's the owner and her husband. They have kept the place humming along, and have only made the interior more pleasant over the years. She is one of the most friendly people I have ever met, and has always greeted me with a large smile and a loud hello from behind the register. Must try if you're a teriyaki person. I also forgot to mention that their teriyaki sauce (in a bottle on every table) is FANTASTIC on rice, and their salad dressing is great as well (my friend always gets extra to put on his rice) read more
