Decent quick food. The California roll was pretty good - very fresh and a large portion. Chicken stir fry was tasty and the gyoza were good. The beef yakisoba was ok, not my favorite. I would come back to try other things like the teriyaki and katsu. The location is convenient and the people are super nice! Also good price for the amount of food. read more

Not sure why folks give this place 5 stars. Had the Beef and Pork combo...every piece of beef was chewy and both meats lacked flavor. OK, so go with the Katsu, which everyone raves about. Overcooked, stringy, chewy, with an "old fryer oil" flavor. Rice was under-cooked, and neither of us liked the Teriyaki sauce. Wife was not pleased either. Kid had General Tso's once and Orange chix another time and said "Meh, it was OK". Great salad dressing, though! read more

$4.99 Lunch Special!! The sign caught my attention and I already knew my order before I walked in. The $4.99 will get you your standard teriyaki chicken lunch - teriyaki glazed chicken, 2 scoops of rice, and the salad. The chicken was slightly over-cooked on the ends, but adding a bit extra of the (really good) teriyaki sauce that is on the table plus some Sriracha made it perfectly acceptable. The middle pieces were cooked to perfection and very tasty. Let's be honest though, for $4.99 it is a great deal on a good meal. I will surely go again and order the same thing. read more

I've never gone wrong here, always tasty abd quick. Very polite and a variety of options - not just teriyaki but a few other Japanese and some Chinese dishes. read more

Nice people, clean, and good service! I would come back and give this place another shot. I ordered some bulgogi the other day and it was so-so. The sauce was good but the meat was kinda chewy. I thought maybe it was just some parts but it was pretty much the whole thing. I wasn't too fond of the celery though in it. I may not be Korean but I don't recall ever having celery in my bulgogi. It just threw the taste off. Also the soy sauce sucked through I do appreciate restaurants that use OG so racha sauce instead of the bam bam. Around $12 with a drink? Naw not worth it. Well I guess its what I get for going to a teriyaki place and ordering something besides teriyaki. read more

Solid teriyaki every time, friendly staff and the food is always ready quickly. Convenient location when picking something up on the way. The standard teriyaki chicken doesn't miss the mark and the spicy chicken teriyaki has a good amount of kick to it. read more

I love this place. it's next to my house and the food is always good. I was thrilled they had sushi- I don't eat real sushi, just shrimp rolls, but they are quick and its much nicer inside than average teriyaki places and has great prices. read more

The staff is very friendly and the service is quick. The beef and broccoli was good, but nothing to rave about. I will try it again if I don't find better teriyaki take out in my neighborhood. read more

By far the best teriyaki in the shoreline area! They are prompt and they provide excellent service. They recognized us even though we moved out of the area a couple years back. I recommend their spicy chicken teriyaki! The chicken is cooked just right with a perfect amount of spice to kick your taste buds. And the serving sizes are huge for your buck. Come hungry! read more

Their spicy chicken teriyaki is really good, so is their chicken bento. portions are really big, especially the spicy chicken, at $8.99 it can easily feed two adults. read more

Best teriyaki I've had. Owned by koreans. The chicken Katsu & beef combo is beautiful. Why can't all teriyaki be like this!?

You have to try the spicy beef teriyaki! It's one of the best I ever had. The meat is so tender and the spice is just right. When it comes to teriyaki, there are certainly quite a few to choose from but this place is worth the extra drive. Definitely one of my fav! :-) read more

This place is really not good. I couldn't tell for sure that the pork teriyaki was pork or "beef". It was basically gross mystery meat. And the spicy chicken teriyaki the hubby ordered had some weird bbq flavor. Wholly disappointing. read more

First, when i came to this place was because i was forced to by my family since it is close to the place where they are staying and i find this place as a good place to eat read more

I love this place! Whenever I get a craving for some 'yaki (that's what all the cool kids are calling it these days) my first thoughts are of Teriyaki Time. Their chicken is always moist and delicious. Even their spicy chicken teriyaki has the perfect amount of spice. They give you a ton of salad and their housemade salad dressing is superb. I look forward to going back here many, many times. A p read more

My tummy was rumbling as I drove by this place, and being a sucker for teriyaki I decided to give it a try. I was pleased with the very welcoming and friendly lady taking the order. The food was good, with nice portion sizes. I can really only review the chicken teriyaki, as that is all that I tried. My review is a 4 out of 5. I will go back some day. read more

Decent food for its price and large portion of food. If it's really no MSG as what they stated, then this is really tasty :-) I would highly recommend chicken katsu - its fried chicken is really crispy! My friend had spicy chicken which I thought was okay. The combo comes with rice and salad, costs $9 after tax. read more

Teriyaki Time - Take-out orders: spicy chicken and chicken katsu, comes with rice and salad. $18 including tax. - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I can of course only review what I've eaten, but I'm a fan! I've tried both the beef super bento and beef and broccoli, and they're both tasty. Probably what you'd expect from a strip-mall teriyaki place, but I really appreciate the quality of the meat. Ofttimes the beef comes super fatty at other places, which is generally why chicken is the default entree. But so far I've had consistent quality here. I don't think their miso is that special; a little bland/lacking in dashi and a curious lack of tofu. The sushi is okay if you want to order a bento (which comes with tons of food) but not worth ordering on its own. The tempura was good and fresh and their gyoza is fried to cripsy goodness. Really this place is aptly named - great for good, cheap teriyaki and lots of it. You probably shouldn't get too adventurous. read more

Our order: Chicken teriyaki and vegetable yakisoba. We have tried about 6 different Teriyaki places in Shoreline and North Seattle and this is the first place where both the teriyaki and the yakisoba were good. We highly recommend as a quick, cheap spot for dinner. read more

This place was a last minute thing on the way home and we figured it had pretty good reviews. We lucked out! They have THE BEST pork fried rice I've ever tried. My boyfriend got a beef/chicken combo plate with brown rice; the sauce was delicious and the beef was very tender. The portions were pretty big and we had leftovers which heated up nicely for lunch at work. We wish it was closer to home because we would be there all the time. read more

This is the hands down, the best teriyaki joint on this side of I-5! They give out huge portions of chicken and the food was DA BOMB! The dressing for the side salad is amazing and I enjoyed eating my chicken teriyaki with the salad instead of the rice. The customer service by the front desk lady was superb. Will definitely come back soon to try something else on the menu! read more

I stopped by Teriyaki Time for a quick bite to meet a friend during a weekend trip to Seattle. Don't let the exterior (looks relatively small from outside) fool you- this place had one of the best selection of lunch deals in town...My friend and I ordered shrimp and tofu combo with yakisoba and gyoza. Everything was perfect; service was friendly, quick, despite the fact that the restaurant was getting busy from lunch rush. The shrimp (unlike some other restaurants that serve them pretty overcooked/dried) was succulent and juicy, with right amount of marinade. In all everything was YUMMY and I walked away satisfied, full, and sad knowing that LA doesn't have places like this that serve decent teriyaki deals...I'll be coming back here for sure. read more

I love this place!! My order is always ready within minutes, the woman who works there is super friendly and the food is always fresh and delicious. This is definitely my go to place!! read more

Best chicken breast teriyaki I've ever had! Well priced and wonderful staff and environment. I will definitely be back for more!

This is the ONLY spot I pick up teriyaki from. The quality of the food is always on point, and they are easily the fastest restaurant I've ever been to. Don't expect your meal to take any longer than 15 minutes to cook and be in your hands, they're quick. I am 21 years of age, and the couple that owns the restaurant has been there ever since I can remember. If they've been there that long, they'll be serving delicious food in that same spot for another 20 years. Don't miss out if you live in the Shoreline / North Seattle area, and don't expect to find another mom and pop owned teriyaki spot that's been around nearly as long! read more

Love this place! The owners are always there and always friendly. I have been dining here for 10 years. I've never had a bad experience. Teriyaki, Saba, miso, and tempura are a few of my faves. read more

Wide menu and good service. They have more than 10 meals in their menu but the short ribs is a favorite among people

I used to eat and like this place a lot when I was a student at a nearby college. They have a huge portion, and their meat and teriyaki sauce also tasted excellent. That was back in 2009 though. I ate here recently, and I must say that the quality is degrading. Their teriyaki and katsu just didnt taste the same as before, in a bad way. I will give them 4 stars before, but now 3 is sufficient. read more

The food and service are outstanding! I live a few blocks away and have been eating here for the past 2 years. The owners have always been nice and treated me with respect, and the food is great at good prices! One time I left my wallet at home, and they let me take the food anyway and pay them the next day! Doesn't' get any better! read more

Huge portions. Excellent Teriyaki. Yakisoba is not bad. Parking lot can be a challenge.

Never a bad moment other than the occasional wait, but the owner always acknowledges me when that happens to let me know that she hasn't forgotten about me. The food is always great and is a regular place I go for pick up after a long day at work. Just be sure to call in early when you are picking up. read more

Hidden gem in Shoreline! Super fast service, clean restaurant and clean restrooms I ordered teri chicken without the sauce and it was perfectly grilled teri chicken (marinated with sauce and not just drowning in sauce for flavor). The owners/staff are also always very nice and pleasant. read more

I ate here for the first time and won't go back. The teriyaki was extremely grisly and fatty. I kept having to pick out the hard pieces. I ended up throwing away over half! read more

YES ! this is my favorite place for Teriyaki. i have tried them all. The difference here is the super nice lady, the service is excellent and even though it is a little more expensive than most other places it is worth it without question. This is the only place where every single time I order and eat there is NO fat in my food. This is important to me as I HATE chunks of fat in my food. I have been eating here for almost 5 years now and you will not find a better place for Teriyaki. I want to try other things but the Teriyaki is so good I cannot do that here hahaha. read more

Our usual place is closed for the holiday week so we checked on Yelp and found our good friend Monica Beaches' glowing recommendation. We suspected we couldn't go wrong with that, and we were right! The new owner, Sue, said they have kept all of the original recipes that have been favorites there for years. She was as lovely as possible and so engaging and kind with the kids. We were picking up our food to go home but would have loved to sit down and eat there. It's roomy enough to seat a lunchtime rush crowd, pretty, clean and bright. We had called the order in from the road and were told 15 minutes, but when we got there less than 10 minutes later it was being wrapped up fresh off the grill for us. We got four orders of teriyaki chicken and rice with salad and two orders (20) of Jiozi. The chicken was so very tender with the perfect amount of sauce; the salads were fresh crisp greens, and the dumplings disappeared fast with four girls and myself at the table. I overestimated the need of teriyaki chicken and rice, the servings are extraordinarily generous so we may be having that for lunch and dinner for another day or two. One order easily feeds two hungry adults. We will be coming back, thankfully it's right on the way home, at 145th and Greenwood read more

Defiantly better teriyaki in Seattle, and the orange chicken don't bother

After reading the reviews (and my usual place closed due to demolition) I was looking forward to trying this place. We got teriyaki chicken and the short ribs, and the food was terrible. Starting with the salad. The dressing had a bitter flavor, and the lettuce smelled like soap. The chicken was chewy and the sauce was too sweet. The short ribs were 70% fat. I was very disappointed with the meal overall. Although I suppose the rice wasn't bad, but it's pretty hard to mess that up. The service was good though, so there's that. read more

The chicken tasted reheated not fresh... and the lettuce from their side taste old and chemically

Good service, lots of food. I came towards the end of the night on a weekday, so my chicken teriyaki was a little dry. The flavor was good though, so I'll be back on a day at a more common hour! read more

visit teriyaki time whenever in ballard to visit my some....awesome food ..fresh and tasty
