Stopped in today, first time at Toshi's. I'm always left feeling like I want a 1/2 order at most yaki spots and here they offer a lunch special that is JUST THAT! BAM! All around tasty and REALLY FAST! read more

Toshi's Teriyaki - Lunch Special - Japanese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Delivery review In short The OG is still going strong for good reason. Beautifully grilled meats with minimal sauce--all grill flavor, beautifully tender and delicious. In long I've tried a million teriyaki places and it's beyond corny that I am finally getting to a Toshi's. Toshi himself still cooks at the Mill Creek location and it's crucial that I get in there and try it from the originator of the whole Seattle teriyaki style. But this place popped up on the app when we ordered dinner last night, and here we are. Most teriyaki places make their mark with the sauce that sets their house style--thicker, thinner, sweeter, spicier, whatever. Toshi's showcases the grill work in their proteins. They make it easy to get into this a couple ways. They just don't use nearly as much sauce, at least on the stuff we ordered. They also set up the online menu so you can order different portion sizes of different meats as sides, so you can create the exact combo you want. We got steak (they don't just call it "beef"), pork, and a chicken leg. You can add extra rice or sauce, too. We also got some kimchi. Each of the meats was close to well done but still had plenty of moisture and was perfectly soft and tender. It doesn't matter how fancy a place is, if they grill meat perfectly, I'm gonna love it, and that's what's happening here. The rice is a tiny bit wetter and less sticky than most yaki spots. Combines well with bites of protein. The salad mix is a little sweeter, maybe a little more mayo-y, here as well. Kimchi was solid, not crazy spicy. They don't have the biggest portions around, but obviously that's adjustable based on how you order. Prices are very fair and they run specials online from time to time. They don't seem to have a veg option as a side, so they aren't quite the teriyaki dream team, but they sure do come as close to that level as any other spot in town. read more

Service is fast and friendly but the food was a little lacking. I got the spicy chicken teriyaki and my partner got the regular teriyaki. Both were dry and the flavor just wasn't there. I really wanted to like them because Toshi's was the teriyaki founder but not this one. read more

Toshi's Teriyaki - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

My experience here with teriyaki was excellent. Toshi's teriyaki was not as sweet nor does it come with a lot of sauce on it, which i prefer. I like a little sauce, and add more as needed (they give you some on the side). We really enjoyed the teriyaki chicken as well as the teriyaki garlic chicken, which has big cloves of garlic inside. The chicken was also very moist and tender. They are pretty fast too, and the value is very good. Highly recommended. read more

Lynwood Toshi's Teriyaki has the best teriyaki dishes. The meat is cooked to my liking-juicy and tender. The owner is always amiable and caters to the customer's culinary needs. The bench in front of the business is perfect for summer dining. The location is great for take outs. Nothing fancy but highly recommended! read more

I've lived in Seattle my whole life and have been eating teriyaki since I was a little kid, so when I say this is my favorite teriyaki spot, that's saying something. Toshi's is the OG of Seattle teriyaki, and the chain is still pretty good, but this Toshi's is independently owned and operated, and even better for it (in my opinion). The quality of the meat here is leaps and bounds ahead of what you'll find in most places. Thick cuts of chicken, steak, or pork, perfectly marinated, and flame grilled with just the right amount of char. The sauce is perfect, just like the original Toshi's, not that thick sauce with way too much sugar in it like you find in so many places these days. The portion sizes are huge, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is quick. My go-to order is the spicy chicken and pork combo, but if you feel like splurging, get the steak. It's worth it! read more

Update 7/01: Went back today and got 2 orders of the garlic teriyaki chicken(not pictured) and steak and prawns & yakisoba. So glad we did as everything was soooo delicious! Whenever anyone visits from out of state, we have them try the teriyaki from here and they always end up loving it. Definitely going back sooner than later. read more

Toshi's Teriyaki - Ordered Yakisoba and Steak and prawns & 2 garlic teriyaki chicken(not pictured). SO delicious. - Japanese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

This place has amazing teriyaki. I ordered the pork and chicken teriyaki and I was glad I did. The smokiness of the grilled pork and the char on the chicken topped with the amazing sauce. Sauce has hints of ginger and citrus. read more

Toshi's Teriyaki - Chicken and Pork Teriyaki. Amazing - Japanese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

See all

The steak dish is excellent! Very friendly place, too. Not much seating, but it was quiet, so I was able to dine in.

Best teriyaki in Lynnwood -- the garlic chicken and the half chicken half steak are my favorites. Reasonably priced and great service!

Awesome quality, quick service and generous portions. I've tried many and Toshi's is the best!! read more

This place used to be amazing. Now it's just kinda sad and the food is marginal. The chicken teriyaki is dark meat with no longer an option of grilled breast meat. We ordered the breast meat skewers instead and they were not great. Sad that it's not as good as it used to be. read more

Omg I can't remember been coming here for at least 25 years, Mike used to have to Steve to help He's gone but Mike is is still fabulous. I don't know how he how he does it solo, Can relate. My Go To for Teriyaki!! On the bone,spicy And Garlic Not fast food Super delish!! read more

Very tasty teriyaki. The steak teriyaki is real tender and a fresh grilled taste. The salad is more like a slaw with a sweet vinegary dressing Pretty much a take out only and don't let the outside of the building fool you they are cooking up some good stuff in there. read more

The garlic chicken teriyaki was dank, service was quick, wish the food serving was a bit bigger.

This ages me, but I've been going to this Toshi's since it was back by the Pac West gym in Lynnwood. Back then it was $3.50 for bird and rice. A great deal in college and for gym rats. We sent at least 4 days a week after workouts. Years go by and the move to 99. This dude has kept the original Toshi's recipe. Not skimped on the meat like the Toshi's that were taken over by cheapos over the years. The chicken and beef rule. Other items are good, but the staples are the best. His slaw is still the most simple and the best of all the teriyaki joints and after 30 years I have never had less than teriyaki-joint perfect rice. Buy a bottle of of the sauce and you will be lauded at home as a genius. I literally have to go way out of my way to revisit the horrendous landscape of 99 in Lynnwood, but as I sit in my car, a park or even that cold as hell bench out front I realize that one thing in the world hasn't changed (too much) and that's a good thing. read more

Execellent teriyaki. The prices are solid for the portions. Only one table inside, so heads up on that.

This place is great. Teriyaki done right if you ask me. Its not like every other teriyaki place, including other Toshi's, which is a good thing. It's more like barbecue food. The meat is better than average teriyaki, the portion sizes are huge, and it's not swimming in sauce which I appreciate. This place isn't about glitz and glam. Definitely would plan it as carryout. But the food is fantastic. read more

The owner is a one man show that's been doing this for ever and absolutely has it down. Try his food, you won't regret it!

Out for a walk on this unusual sunny day. With my daughter and our 55# dog. 1st 3 establishments we stopped at on 99, no luck. Cafe Neo claimed outside seating was for service animals only. what a crock of bs , relegating service animals to outside . This guy was super nice, brought out a bowl of water for our puppy. We will bring our money here anytime. read more

3-10-14. Odd location, could use new floor covering. Its clean and functional. Now to the important stuff. The kitchen is just off the dining area and the owner Mike invited me to have a look see for myself after the comments on Yelp. I am fine with the cleanliness and upkeep. The steak and shrimp were above the teriyaki industry standards, the rice was fresh and the salad was crunchy with a great house dressing. The price is right on. If you need fancy decor just get take out. If you want a good time stop by and get your fill from the large portions. While eating there, there were 5 regular patrons who came in for food and were genuinely pleased with the place. Mike gets 4 atta boys just for the job he does. We will be back. read more

Toshi's Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Just threw away the most disgusting meal i've ever bought. Save yourself the money and frustration. Should have known better from the shitty restaurant, super.dirty, limited menu and shock when i ordered the shrimp. Shrimp uncleaned and had shells on. Literally inedible. Teriyaki salad should be sweet, not doused in vinegar. Boyfriend got ribs and portions were so small. What he did get tasted awful. Went out because I didnt feel like cooking. Now im out my money and still have to cook. Disgusting restuarant and disgusting inedible food. So upset. AVOID THIS GARBAGE. There is wayyyy better teriyaki anywhere. First time other yelp users have led me astray. read more

Horribly, frighteningly unclean. Cooking and food prep area is open to the seating area. We took our family for a quick lunch and found only an old outdoor picnic table to eat from at the back of the shop. However, the eating area was right next to a kitchen prep area featuring a disgusting cutting board covered in what appeared to be raw, pink chicken juices. And there were two knives sitting right on top. Really? Raw chicken goo two paces from where I'm supposed to eat my lunch? Guy behind the counter had no apron on, no gloves for cooking food after handling cash at the till, and he allowed customers to traipse through the kitchen to go to the restroom. The floors were filthy dirty and very sticky...don't you dare look in those heater vents. Ugh. DO NOT EAT AT THIS RUNDOWN SHACK. Sanitation is completely lacking, cleanliness is non-existent, and I'd be willing to bet they don't have a single cleaning supply in that joint. Food is overpriced mediocrity, but frankly we lost our appetites after seeing too much of the food prep right out in the open dining room. Never going back. read more

I cannot believe that in all the time I have visited Toshis I've yet to write a review! The most likely reason for this is because the food is gone before I can take a photo of the flavorful deliciousness. Toshi's is a little hidden gem here in Lynnwood but if you're looking to dine in, you may have to wait for the one and only table in the little take out shop. Each order takes approximately 10 minutes and is prepared by the owner himself who takes pride in his secret to a delicious teriyaki, far superior than all. From the delicious grilled meat, chicken, and shrimp to the homemade secret sauce...this place is fantastic!! Portion sizes are enormous and I usually substitute the salad for more rice. Plenty of food for 2 people with left overs...give Toshi's a try, you won't be sorry. read more

Toshi's Teriyaki - Chicken and Beef yummy!! - Japanese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Poor Heather! Give it another try and just order the spicy Teriyaki. You dont need to order the most expensive dish at every restaurant. Who goes to a teriyaki place and orders shrimp? When you go to places like these, you really need to judge it by what it is. A cheap Teriyaki fast food ish restaurant that is practically owned and operated by one guy -who in my experiences has been kind and laid back in all our interactions. He gladly substitutes portion sizes and if you think the salad could be doused in vinager, he will gladly replace it. 7 bucks gets you a nice huge of rice, meat and veggies. I always order spicy chicken and it makes me sweat which i like. Sure, the place is small with one entire table. But i give props to this guy for sticking it out and producing quality food at very low prices. The same dish i typically get is 4 dollars higher at my other usual spots. I found this place because it is so close to work. And i suggest it to anyone looking for fast, friendly, and affordable. Oh and Heather, your review was 3 years ago. So dont take it personally. I've read many reviews of yours and others that i agree with but disagree with too. Cheers and happy dining! read more

So after reading some of these reviews I've figured I should be fair with my honest answer. The taste of the food is good and the portion size is good and the chicken does not have the sauce on it so you can tell that the meat is actually good meat. I won't lie The restaurant is a little hole in the wall like some of the reviews say however what teriyaki place isn't. It's fine to take and go however I will say for lunchtime I was a little disappointed with the price it's definitely gone up than what the pictures are. However $10 for this size plate wasn't too bad. The meal was ready to go within minutes so I'm not sure how fresh it was however it was hot and taste okay. read more

This is one of my "Go Too" places to get a quick lunch in a pinch. My kids like it for dinner on occasion. The place is clean, I guess some people can't see beyond the decor. It is a walk in/dine out teriyaki place. I have been going here for over 20 years and it is consistent. Mike knows my name by my order when I phone it in. Fast, Friendly, and enough food for two meals. I will always be a loyal customer. read more

Icky icky eww. I thought I'd try Toshi's because it's close to my work, but never again. First of all, the restaurant is a hole. There's one table, just one, the counter is filthy, the floor is filthy and the place has an odd odor to it that reminded me of spam. (Thank you Hawaii for teaching me what spam smells like) Anyway, and then there's the food. I ordered the boneless chicken teriyaki. He said it would be about 5 minutes, which is kind of fast, but then he scooped some already cooked chicken out of a bowl, plopped it on some mushy, overdone rice and gave it to me. The chicken was overcooked, too salty, dry and tasted old. Like days old. Like I wasn't sure whether my stomach would eventually reject it or not. It also solved the spam smell mystery. It was the chicken, it smelled like spam. As for the rice, it was overcooked and mushy. There was some kind of warm mystery salad buried under the chicken but I didn't try it. Good thing I had a clementine orange in my handbag or I would've gone without lunch today. read more

We love this place. You get lots of food , premium quality meat. I tried the Teriyaki Spicy Garlic Chicken ...so good. Next will be the Spicy Orange Chicken , Spicy Short Ribs or the Yakisoba. read more

Been getting yaki here for years, it's always been good, It is a bit smaller menu than most places but it's always consistent.

Very Good Food. Very Clean Restaurant , My wife is e and she LOVES the food here too ;) it taste like her home food. Chicken, Pork, Beef all high quality meats & the sauces are good , a little salty , just the way wife likes it :) and although the chickens a little dry , my wife likes it cooked like that , and I don't mind, Well done , and although it takes a little more effort to get here because of the median in the road it's well worth the extra runaround ;) The portion sizes are good and the price , This place has a great value to offer the wallet, Tummy and mind. The owner showed Me his heath inspection report card when I let him I loved how clean the place is . The health report card had 0 infractions. This is Literally one one the best, CLEANEST Teryaki places in town, if not the best & Cleanest. Lots of good eats here . The only thing he's missing on the menu is a vegetable stir fry dish aka Chop Suey or something similar with snow peas , broccoli, carrot , celery , mushrooms & mini corn in a white wine sauce . He has a little shop here that's a great stop on the list . He doesn't have much space to eat inside but there is a picnic table or 2 here or a "quick" sit down meal. I'd love to see this place be a "sit down" restaurant someday & be waited on with a slightly larger menu. I'll be coming back here for many years ;) I hope you all enjoy this place and much as I do ! And let the owner know how much we appreciate his hard work the next time your in :) being a one man Show is not easy :) Also note ***Parking in Rear read more

This is definitely one of a kind teriyaki. Reminds me of summer BBQs. My dad always gets the chicken dinner for us when we were younger. Nowadays my husband and I regularly request this takeout when we are in the mood for fresh off the grill food. Two thumbs up! read more

Toshi's Teriyaki - bomb - Japanese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

This place is IT, the original! Sorry if the prissy types are a bit queasy about "appearances", but if you suspect there are health violations, why haven't you REPORTED them? I have eaten here MANY MANY TIMES, NEVER gotten sick once! The food is delicious, especially the beef, tender and juicy and flavorful. The sauce is PERFECT! Not too salty, not too sweet, just right--in fact, even though I live in Marysville we drive the extra distance to buy the sauce from THIS Toshi's! Better than anyplace else, and I love to use the sauce on my own grilled meats at home. read more

I live over an hour south from here and make the drive just to stock pile on Toshi's! My whole family loves this place. Definitely recommend the beef skewers read more

Think its more suited for take out, but we've eating in twice now. Not much in the way of seating or restaurant interior, the only reason for 4 star. The food here is top notch, per-portions are huge. We split a combo for under ten bucks and we are both very satisfied, and full. Flavors are great, everything nicely grilled, moist sticky white rice, the salad is like slaw. Always leave a clean plate, we will definitely return again. read more

I had the best garlic chicken teriyaki!!!! To be honest with you I've never heard of garlic teriyaki come until I came here. The owner and cook was amazing. Very accommodating and just plain nice. There were chunks of garlic all the way through this..... I've never had better teriyaki! And to be quite honest with you, I don't know whether I'd write a review for a teriyaki place. It's good, but nothing notable " usually".... This place knocks the socks off of most of the quick stop food I've ever eaten at.... The quality is excellent.... The flavor... OMG! THIS IS DEFINITELY A MUST-HAVE!! read more

Been going here to this particular Toshi, very 1st Teriyaki place to enter the Nw. I was 9-10 years of age when I started eating here & I am now 43. He is a 1 man band & owns & operates locally. Great food, Huge chunks of steak or meat, great service, great guy. Keep it local !! My main man Mike !! read more
