The food here tastes the best in my opinion than the other options around here. Ive tried the beef, chicken, gyoza, crab Rangoon, yakisoba, and sesame chicken.. none of them disappointed me taste wise and I would order any of them again. One other thing I appreciate about the food here is, just like many restaurants the prices have gone up and it can be pretty pricey... That being said many other restaurants have raised their price but also cut down on the quantity of food they give you. Teriyaki diner has raised their prices, but the quantity of food never seems to have changed.. Between two people we can order a teriyaki and a yakisoba and still have enough for leftovers the next day. I also appreciate that they give you lettuce and a drink with your order.. although keep in mind it's not for all orders. I wanna say the yakisoba doesn't come with the salad but the teriyaki does, but I'm only like 80% sure. Overall if I'd definitely recommend this place it's the only place around here I feel comfortable ordering teriyaki from! read more

Our favorite teriyaki spot in Lake Stevens. Dependable and great tasting. A couple of instances where we have had a long wait for our food / burnt food, but this is mostly due to how much demand there is! Still very much recommend. read more

I've been here many times and live in Lake Stevens, the food has always been good, but recently it's just been okay. The last 2 times I got the fried rice with vegetables it's literally been a container of steamed rice with the thawed carrots and peas mixed in. Definitely not the same as before, and in no way does it resemble or taste like "Fried Rice" . Very disappointing and I could have done this at home for $5 bucks. I'll be looking for a new place read more

Good portions, great taste and groovy music while you eat! What more could you want? They also throw in free miso soup. Definitely come back when I'm around Lake Stevens read more

Teriyaki Diner not only offers delicious high quality food, but great customer service. We recently ordered take out, and when we got home realized they made our order incorrectly. I called to just let them know, not expecting anything to come from it. Without hesitation they offered to remake it. We were unable to go back due to having to go to work. They wrote down our name and order, and let us know to come back anytime and get our correct order at not cost. Love their food and service. Will definitely continue to support them:) read more

Service is top tier; food was delicious! Gyoza came with plenty of sauce, teriyaki chicken was marinated and cooked to moist, tasty perfection. Yummy miso soup while I waited for my order. Containers are all recyclable/compostable. Best yaki spot in Lake Stevens. read more

Great teriyaki, great char, sticky rice and sauce. One of the top two spots in Lake Stevens.

Finally getting around to reviewing last Friday's dinner selection, talked my wife into picking up on the way home. I've been meaning to order from here sooner but will definitely be sure to make this a more regular thing. The restaurant is located in a strip mall so parking isn't a concern, we call ahead of time so our oder is waiting when my wife shows up. She says that the employees are friendly and that the restaurant is clean. I wanted to try the Chicken Rice Cup Fusion this time. It says on the menu that it's spicy but it wasn't overly hot at least to me it was so delicious that I almost forgot to get a picture. I like the selection and variety of the menu it's not your typical teriyaki restaurant I really enjoyed the two dishes I've had from the fusion part of the menu, you should give them a try a try! read more

Second best to Teriyaki Bowl but still WAAAAAAY better than Jackpot Teriyaki, that place is garbage. Teriyaki Bowl has great quality meat nearly the level of Teriyaki Bowl. NEARLY. But this place is a great alternative to TB. Just, whatever you do, DO NOT go to Jackpot Teriyak. The meat they serve is chewy, full of connective tissue, sinewy and difficult to keep down. It's like, if it wasn't covered in teriyaki sauce, I swear it was probably racoon meat. read more

I hate to give a review because I'm worried that it will drive more traffic to this place but their teriyaki is legit!!! Chicken is tender and generous portions. Also has self-serve miso soup that's also delicious. read more

Consistently delicious food and great service! Servings are generous as well. I had the honey sesame chicken and it was delicious. And garlicky. My husband had the chicken teriyaki and also loved it. read more

It's a staple for us. My favorite is the spicy chicken plate. Beware, some of the yelp pics are out dated (spicy katsu). You can't go here. Nothing bad at all to say about this place. read more

You have ruined us whenever we want teriyaki we only want yours and you close early. Nobody wants to go somewhere else last time we did that it was horrible and we only did it cause you were closed so keep up the good work and we'll keep coming in. I haven't come across anything there that I didn't love 100% thanks again. read more

Food is great but their shrink-flation cuts reduced portions nearly in half. I'll give it a couple more tries, but if it is the new normal, with their corresponding price bumps, it just won't be worth it. read more

I ordered the beef yakisoba this time. It was wonderful and felt like there was beef in every bite. I have been ordering takeout from here for a few years. The food is always fresh, hot, and good with short wait times and friendly service. read more

Literally a hidden Lake Stevens gem! Their portions are SUPER generous! And food is tasty too! So glad I decided to try this place via DoorDash. Pictured is spicy chicken Katsu (they even gave extra) and yakisoba omelette. Can't wait to try more! Thanks Teriyaki Diner! read more

Food is always amazing and so fresh and they're always so quick with their service when i order to go :)

It's been 4 months and we still think this is the best teriyaki in Lake Stevens. Things we have tried and loved? The chicken breast teriyaki (from my last review) The chicken teriyaki (partners favorite dish) The spicy beef teriyaki- this may be my new favorite, it's thin and crispy and sweet and spicy The yakisoba (delicious and noodles were perfect) The gyozas- best ever and they give a great amount of sauce instead of the usual tiny portion cup The egg rolls- super crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside. Only wish they would serve the hot and sour sauce in a portion cup vs the packets they provide because they're impossible to get open without getting messy. You need to come to teriyaki diner! read more

We ordered a chicken teriyaki bento box, tofu yakisoba, egg rolls, hot and spicy chicken dish and 2 sushi rolls. Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered delivery and everything arrived hot and in clean and neatly stack containers. Thank you so much!! read more

The food here is great! We always get takeout and you get so much food. One of the few places where you get the amount of food you pay for.

This is the best thing I've had! I wanted to try something new, I tried Omu Rice. Holy moly it was delicious. Basically an omelette filled with chicken fried rice. It was huge, could be shared, and full of chicken fried rice. Super delicious. Very thin egg and lots of rice. New favorite thing! read more

I love their food. Beef Yakisoba and Teryaki combo are specially good. Service is good too. read more

The best char on Korean short ribs! Great portions and friendly staff! I try to order every Friday with my sons.

Due to inflation their prices increased by $2 to $3 or so which the owner does not have much control over but their food and service are very very good. The times that I ordered from them the young man at the counter was very courteous and patient which I appreciate. This is my go-to place for teriyaki for takeout. I highly recommend. read more

First time for me ...I was on the way home and had heard of this place from a friend. She promised they didn't give stingy portions and weren't overpriced. I also was drawn in by a variety of meatless options and the place being packed with hungry customers and drivers waiting for orders. I placed my order at the counter, got fried rice and veggie yakisoba for just $26. I waited no more than 15mins and was given my order with a smile! All sauces, napkins, cutlery were thoughtfully provided. The portions did not disappoint. Alot of similiar restaurants don't give a lot of rice these days vs the past but teriyaki diner stuffed that to go box!! I was happy and will return. read more

Great place for takeout. Always friendly and efficient, priced right, consistently great teriyaki for our family.

Lake Stevens' best teriyaki! We've tried all of the different options in our time living here and Teriyaki Diner is our go-to. Consistently large portions, tasty and very reasonably priced. read more

Ordered their chicken and pork combo and as expected - delicious! They are very consistent and that's hard to come by these days. Portions are huge. And love that it comes with a soda. Will have to slowly make my way eating through the rest of the menu but so far so good! read more

They sent the wrong order. And when I came to ask them to give me the right order, they made me wait until 10 people ahead of me were served. After they finally made the order ready, I asked if I can have my receipt back. The guy behind the counter, Nathan, first said no, then jump over and charged at me, trying to assault me. And then said come after 8:30pm, he will be done by then, then we can "fight it out bro". I guess that's the kind of service Esther Y is talking about in the bio of this yelp account. I know you have cameras there. Check your footage. Cause I'm coming after it. read more

This is probably my favorite teriyaki place to go. I went to the teriyaki diner after hiking at the lake 22. It was such random place we stopped by, but the food was great. We ordered some entrees with spicy teriyaki chicken. Couldn't take a picture of the spicy chicken cuz we were so hungry, but I strongly recommend getting it. Food came out really fast, service was good (biggest reason why im writing this review). 10/10 would go back. read more

We often have takeout from here. Love the food and customer service is great. Great chicken teriyaki, fried rice, and gyozas.

Simply the best Spicy Chicken Teriyaki and Fried rice I have ever had! Thank you for an excellent meal! Service was excellent as well.

Amazing! I've had my fair share of teriyaki and this one is the best! Good portions, good service, good price! I ordered online and was given a 20minute wait. It was ready when I arrived. I was greeted with a smile and hello! I ordered 2 beef teriyaki and gyozas. Even after the wait and drive home, the gyozas were still crispy! One beef is regular which is a not too sweet yummy teriyaki sauce over a bed of rice. The one on the right is a "very hot" Spicy beef teriyaki. The spice was delicious and tolerable! I asked for some extra salad sauces and was given them no problem. Teriyaki has gotta have a lot of stringy fat right? Not this place! This meat is cut awesomely and I rarely got a piece of fat which is a huge win! Didn't even know it was possible. Price is average compared to other places maybe even a little cheaper. My bill was about $40 which seems to be the regular as of late! The restaurant is very small and cute. Couple of tables and a (complimentary?) tea station with a good variety! Another awesome hole in the wall for Lake Stevens! Glad it's so close to home read more
