Can never go wrong. Was on my way home from work and was looking for a quick bite to grab some food. I decided to try their spicy chicken. The sauce is so good; just the right amount of spiciness and sweetness. The lady at the front was kind as always. She remembered my name, which is always a nice touch. The ingredients tasted fresh, price is amazing for how much you get. Looking forward already to my next visit read more

Excellent teriyaki chicken. We ordered takeout and got a decent portion that included two scoops of rice, plenty of chicken and a side salad. The flavors were saucy and tasty. The restaurant itself is very clean and the service was friendly. read more

Sunny Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I go here all the time. Front desk is very professional. Kitchen is great. Customers are mostly respectful of wait time and no issues with the food. There are some weirdos that role in once in a blue moon, but it's a pretty local and friendly spot. 10/10 One of very few places where tariff ooze hasn't seeped in yet.... read more

Take-out Review Only. Great Teriyaki option. Their chicken teriyaki was okay. Generous portion and you'll get what you wish for if you're craving sweet and salty. It wasn't the best I've had, but it did the trick. Things that would've made it taste better: (a) more tender chicken (some felt dry) and (b) less sweetness in the sauce. Some people would like this, just wasn't for me. The spicy was decent and I liked it more. Their yakisoba was also okay. Good, but the shrimp felt more rubbery vs. tender and soft. Their salad also decent but again, the sauce is very sweet and more like a sugary glaze rather than a light refreshing ginger based sauce. Owner is very nice and service is great. All in all, it's a good teriyaki spot. It's not knock your socks off, but it's teriyaki and when you crave it you'll be satisfied here. read more

Love supporting a local small business, but there are other spots that are much better in my opinion. The food quality was good, neither Teriyaki or Katsu sauce was overly sweet. However, my problem lies with the portioning for the price charged. I got a combination of Katsu and Spicy Teriyaki and for over $20 out the door. For the price I was under the impression this would be a meal for 2, Or 1 & 1/2 at the very least. Definitely more chicken teriyaki and less Katsu as well. Quality was good, price could be less expensive for the portion size given. I'd give them another try but I don't think I'll ever get a combination again. read more

This is our favorite spot - the only place I will get Chicken Teriyaki as long as I live in the city. We stumbled upon this gem one winter evening last year (our first dinner in our first apartment), and I am so grateful we did. The chicken is cooked perfectly, so tender and just the right amount of sauce. After having so many chicken teriyakis, there really apparent differences in quality, quantity, and taste. Sunny Teriyaki knocks it out of the park. And they are the sweetest!!! Go support this business!! read more

Great food and prices! Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. We got miso soup and spicy chicken teriyaki.

Great food, quick service and amazing owners!!! Updating the menu as it was outdated! read more

Sunny Teriyaki - Menu as of Feb 2024 - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The food has always been quite delicious. Portions are well sized so you don't go hungry. Service is friendly with short wait times even during a rush. The ambience is almost homey in a welcoming way. read more

Such a great teriyaki spot! They give such big portions of meat, so it's definitely enough for two meals and two scoops of rice too! The sauce is delicious and a touch on the sweet side but that's perfect for a good teriyaki sauce. I love the dressing they give with the side salad, and the gyoza is delicious. They're super stuffed and juicy. The owner is so sweet too, so this is probably gonna be my new go to teriyaki spot! read more

Great teriyaki, same w/ yakisoba. Fast, reasonable price, easy to park in front & run in to grab your order.

Affordable and generous portions! We were in the area from out of town and heard that Seattle teriyaki was a must. This quaint spot did not disappoint! We ordered the chicken teriyaki which was perfect for 2 people. The staff are extremely friendly too and very welcoming of new customers :) read more

Consistently delicious and quick. This is my go to spot after 3 years in the area trying other teriyaki joints.

One of the best in Seattle. The spicy teriyaki is the best. Also the lunch special is priced great.

I live in Magnolia and was out and about in the neighborhood running errands Friday and decided to come here to grab a quick dinner. Pretty quiet when I walked in, but seems like there's a lot of to go orders that come in here. I ordered: - chicken teriyaki + gyoza plate Comes with an iceberg lettuce salad. I really liked the teriyaki here! Probably the best I've had in Seattle. Decently priced as well. A good portion. read more

Sunny Teriyaki - $10.41 - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

What can I say? It's a very solid teriyaki joint that is very close to work. I don't like their tofu teriyaki dish much, but it was definitely filling. Just had a bit too much going on... and the serving was too big for my liking. When I go now and don't feel like meat, I tend to get a serving of brown rice and a salad. Filling and cheap? Perfect! When I'm craving some chicken, I get their super tasty teriyaki chicken. The chicken comes with a salad (lettuce and some tasty creamy white sauce) and plenty of rice. It's kind of a heavy meal, but it generally ends up being two meals for about $7. Perfect. Oh and the staff? I only ever talk with the cashier lady and we still haven't established any form of small talk or ongoing conversation, but she's nice and seems to remember me now that I've come in more than a couple of times. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it can't really get any better than this for a standard tasty and cheap teriyaki joint... so, 5 stars it is! read more

Definitely the best teriyaki I've had in the area. It's quick and consistent. I just wish they were open on the weekends!!

Cute small Teriyaki shop. Such sweet owners! I came in randomly as I was craving teriyaki and wanted to try a new spot. I parked, and came in. Very small, but so friendly. I came in and ordered the half chicken and half katsu plate. The wait was a tidbit long... I waited about 20 minutes for my food. It wasn't that long, but it felt long. The plate looked small, but it was a lot of food--half chicken, half katsu, rice, and salad. The only thing that sucks--is that their rice they give you is very small. I wish they gave us more rice. A lot of teriyaki places give you like 2 cups of rice. Nonetheless, the food had me full. I think the katsu was a bit overcooked. Yes, it was a bit dry and very very brown, which indicates it was overcooked. Aside from that, they are truly the sweetest people ever. Super nice service, there is free water with cups, and they clean the dishes as long as you bust your own table :) read more

The chicken was gross. I had to send it back which she reluctantly did. The replacement wasn't any better. I don't know how this place is getting 5-star reviews read more

One of my favorite teriyaki places in Seattle. Really good food with large portions and the owners are very nice.

Good enough. First time getting Teriyaki in this part of town. Portion sizes were not that generous. Ordered a chicken Katsu. It was decent.

Decided to visit after a checking out discovery park. Don't be set aback by the gas station location, the chicken was awesome and the serving size was plenty. My boyfriend and I shared it for lunch and were left very satisfied. Would recommend and return again. read more

This sunny teriyaki is better than the one in ballard for sure. I got their chicken katsu and my order came out in seven minutes when they said it will take ten! The lady is so nice too. read more

Whoa! A high cost increase even considering COVID and inflation. But they are not the only small business to do so. I have visited this wonderful place for many years and they have implemented several price increases over time (I get the same thing every time). The food is delicious and the portions are amazing but I won't be able to partake as much as I once did. -1 star. read more

Divey take out kind of a place but food was good and totally hit the spot. Ordered inside and when it was ready they brought it out to our car due to covid. read more

Great spicy chicken, my favorite local spot for teriyaki. The sauce is unique for seattle teriyaki as it has gochujang in it. The rice is tender and sticky and good for chopsticks. Gyoza hits the spot, too. Quick service; same pleasant lady behind the counter every time. read more

I've suddenly become a fan of the teriyaki places around here. I guess it is because of the slim pickens of good, close restaurants to go to here in Magnolia. I didn't come her for the teriyaki though. I came here for Korean BBQ short ribs. Our former go-to was Terikayi Bowl on Gilman, but that place was serving up too much fatty meat and the lady taking to-go orders kept messing them up. Here, I like that the meat was grilled and there was less fat on them. The bf ordered the teriyaki beef and liked that the sauce wasn't as sugary as TB's. It's a little more expensive but it was well worth it. Our meals came with little iceberg lettuce salads and miso dressing, which tasted as expected. As we were waiting for our orders and people were coming in and out of the restaurant, the guy behind the counter was nice enough to tell us that the KBBQ takes a little longer to cook. For that sir, I will gladly wait again. Lots of parking. Big portions. Clean establishment. Winner, winner KBBQ dinner! read more

This was my last meal during my short 3 day vacation in Seattle. I put gas in my rental and walked over to the Teriyaki joint. My friend suggested this place because it was the better of the two he was thinking about. I trusted his decision and it was a great decision. I was about to hop on a plan in a few hours and if I was going to be stuck in a plane for that long, i want to get some good food in my system for the flight. I ordered the Spicy chicken teriyaki and it was pretty good. It was a little bit on the saltier side but it was okay over all. The spiciness was also not bad. Maybe kick up the spicy and less the salt and you got a winner for me. Chicken was done very well and it was cooked fresh because we waited a bit for it. The chicken was juicy and hot when i got it. I know some places in hawaii already have it cooked under a heat lamp and what they do is grill it very quickly to give it new taste. Two scoops rice and toss salad was very filling too. This will be my go to teriyaki joint when im in the Seattle / Magnolia area. read more

Sunny Teriyaki - Spicy chicken. - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First and the last time eating at Sunny Teriyaki. I ordered beef teriyaki, and I was shocked to see the meat black and cardboard-like texture. I asked the lady that my beef was overcooked and burnt. She told me this is their charcoal style and its normal. I explained to her that my meat was unusually darker and dried compare to other customers meat. She had no answer and all she could say was that this is our normal style and it's not burnt. You guys look at the picture and tell me if I'm wrong. Never going back to this place. read more

Good Teriyaki. Good service. Since we discovered this place we eat here at least one a week. It's kind of hidden between a pizza place and a convenience store. I've driven right past it a couple of times just because I wasn't paying attention. I've only had the teriyaki, but they have other more basic Americanized Chinese dishes on their menu. read more

Perfect little hole-in-the-wall restaurant! I did takeout, just went in and ordered and they had me sit in my car and brought out the order when it was done. Everything tasted and looked amazing, so I will definitely be frequenting Sunny Teriyaki quite often. Would highly recommend their chicken teriyaki and chicken fried rice!! read more

In the realm of Teriyaki, SAUCE is the coinage of the land. No Cash and Carry or Costco bottles here. Every sauce perfected in it own way - Sweet, Tangy, Sour, Spicy, Salty. Other than that, a good cook and clean shop. Try the lettuce alongside the hot meat and rice as a texture and layering (almost cooling) element, and not as a "iceberg lettuce flecked with carrot only side-salad." Teriyaki meat wrapped in lettuce is actually a nice summer dish in its own right. read more

The food was great (not to mention quick & sizable portions), the prices are awesome, and the staff was VERY kind - what more can you ask for in a teriyaki joint? We will definitely be returning! read more
