I've been coming here since I was in middle school. Chicken fried rice has been my favorite food ever since I first ordered it here. Even to this day, the food is amazing, and all of the staff are very kind. I remember a time I came to get food with a good friend of mine. It was very busy, so we ended up waiting a little longer than usual. About 15 or so minutes later, an older woman came out from behind the counter, looked at the two of us, and asked, "are you still waiting?". When we told her we were, she not only assured us that our food would be ready very soon, but she even let us both have a can of soda, on the house. That gesture, as well as the amazing food made that experience all the more memorable. I hope to continue ordering from this place for a very long time. read more

Always a great experience. My closest thing to a complaint is that they sometimes sell out of my favorites.

Had to come in. It's been almost 2 whole years without Esther's teriyaki. No teriyaki in my part of North Carolina! Sorry I missed you Esther! See you on my next visit to Washington. read more

Highly recommend ordering ahead as the waits can be pretty long. I was quoted 25 minutes but ended up waiting an additional 10 minutes when I got there. Even when ordering in person, there's signs saying waits can be 30-45 minutes which caused some people to walk out. Wow is located along other shops and a gas station. You'll notice then with lots of smoke coming out from the roof as they're nonstop grilling. Parking is easy but can quickly run out. Upon entering, all the tables were occupied but no one was eating - everyone was waiting for their orders to go. I ordered a chicken teriyaki and the portion was large (looked like about 3 chicken thighs) which makes it worth the $17 price tag. The chicken is pretty charred so if you like that then you'll like wow. What's different about wow is that their chicken is drizzled with a thicker teriyaki sauce and a watery teriyaki sauce is provided on the side. Overall, wow teriyaki was good but I prefer Toshi's in the area more (personal preference). read more

Overall, I was disappointed with the service and delivery of the food. I placed an order online at 6:28 pm and with the ETA of 6:40 pm. I got there at 6:35 pm and the employee 1 said they were still working on the Yakisoba noodles. However, the Teriyaki was already in the to go bag. I checked in around 6:45 pm, and employee 2 said they were still working on the Yakisoba noodles. I checked in at 6:53 pm (employee 1 has been eating her Teriyaki somewhat hidden but at the front counter) and employee 2 said my order was done. I asked why she didn't call my name, but she had no reply. I was disappointed as the Teriyaki was cold and I waited unnecessary. There was no apology. read more

First time stop there yesterday. I picked up a beef & pork teriyaki to go. First of all this restaurant is kinda small, but size don't matter if it is good to eat. The Beef was pretty good, but the the Pork wasn't tasty at all. So I don't recommend the pork in your combo order. Overall it was good But not the best I had. Sorry I should have taken some pictures from my order, but another thing that portion was kinda big for what you pay these days. read more

Ok it was $83 for some noodles, rids, and a bento plate that I had to make sure it was the correct one after I called and it wasn't chicken katsu which I ordered and all of a sudden, when I told him that it wasn't chicken katsu The lady tried to say no you ordered chicken Teriyaki and I said I don't know if there was like a language barrier or something but no I didn't so she said it's gonna cost you three dollars more out of the $80 that you gave me already to get that 5 to 10 minutes later oh sorry the KITCHEN just told me that they ran out of katsu so I called my wife and she was disappointed but made an exception and ordered beef Teriyaki, which I had to wait another 20 minutes for remember after they got the order wrong This is the first and last time we will get anything from this place read more

I've been looking for good teriyaki in the lynnwood area and this one is awesome. Tried here for the first time and the portion size of the Chicken Teriyaki was so good. It was the perfect amount of food and had a nice little salad on the side. The woman at the counter was very friendly and was super quick and packed my food with all the proper utensils and napkins. It's pretty good price I'd say considering the amount you get. read more

The food here is amazing. The serving size is great and the teriyaki has a delicious char on it.

This review is for a delivery order, so I cannot speak to the ambiance or even service per se (though everything was prepared quickly and packed professionally). I'm focusing on the food: really hit and miss. The yakisoba was some of the worst we have ever had anywhere. The noodles were mushy, and none of the ingredients were stir-fried at all. We ordered one with tofu that was not remotely charred, just soggy. And one with chicken which was a touch better, but the noodles and veggies were still limp and mushy. We got different teriyaki versions. The /mild/ chicken breast was much hotter than the /medium/ chicken thigh. The chicken thigh (regular teriyaki) had more of a teriyaki flavor, too. The heat level seems to come from gochujang, which has a distinct, strong flavor. Just something to note. All of the teriyaki had a nice char on it. The salad was decently fresh, but the dressing was like sugar glaze in both texture and flavor. If we ever go back, we will get regular chicken or chicken breast teriyaki with no spice. The portions are absolutely massive, and perhaps this partially explains such a high average rating. I'm sorry to say our experience didn't match it. read more

I've seen the reviews and I wanted to see for myself. We were met by a friendly greeting and I could see that she's (Didn't catch her name)busy, so we went ahead and used the kiosk to place our order. This was around 12:30pm or so and inside wasn't too packed or busy at all (must've missed lunch rush luckily). Inside the restaurant was roomy and full of tables. Very cleanly setting. We ordered the Regular chicken teriyaki & Spicy Teriyaki (very hot option) to go since i wanted to eat at home and watch a show. We opened our orders and WOW is definitely a fitting name for this place. The portions did not disappoint at all! The flavor and char of the chicken was perfection. I only ate a quarter of it with the salad and had to set it away for later. Food coma incoming. This place will definitely be my #1 to go to and well worth the drive. I hope the pictures do it justice. read more

The portion is huge and taste good. We were super hungry but still got 2 meals out of it. We will be back!

First time ordering from here, and I will definitely be coming back! Ordered takeout and was not disappointed. The price is a tiny bit higher than some of the other places, but once you see how much food they give you, you realize you got an amazing deal. Portions are huge and every bite is delicious. The flavors are spot on and it's all cooked well. Presentation is great, and service was exceptional. It looks like they get a lot of takeout orders too, and it was still on time and hot when I picked it up. Forgot to get pictures cause we were so excited to eat it read more

Mostly a carry out place although there is dine in seating. 3 stars for taste and friendly mess of the owner. Extra star for huge portions. You basically get what you pay for as this place maybe a few dollars more but you get some much food. Taste was good..similar to other teriyaki places. Definite give it a try if your hunger. read more

I recently discovered this place and the teriyaki is SO delicious. The woman who runs this place is so sweet. One thing to note is that this place gets slammed at dinner time and they have to stop taking orders and/or close early because of the overwhelming demand. You may also have to wait a little longer for your order to be ready, but it's worth the wait! read more

WOW is right! Fat ass portions and bomb food. We had the omu rice which the egg was a bit overcooked ngl. But surprisingly it was filled with fried rice AND teriyaki chicken. This thing was the size of a plate you would bring to a potluck. read more

It's expensive.... but completely worth it. The food is not just amazing teriyaki, but has proportions that will have you in a food coma. I highly recommend, and I always appreciate the leaping pile of yakisoba falling off my plate! read more

I would definitely recommend coming into Wow Teriyaki. The food is AMAZING The staff is Top notch!! They remember who you are and treat you like family. The portion size is HUGE your a drops from the weight of the bag. LOVE ME SOME WOW TERIYAKI House fried rice and Generals chicken can't be beat!!! read more

My team wanted Teriyaki today, and decided to try WOW. When I say it lives up to its name, I mean it. We were pleased with portion size and flavor! It is not a highly staffed business, and the employee was slammed at 11:30, but we still got our food to dine-in relatively quickly! We will be back. read more

My go-to place for chicken teriyaki these days. Portion is very generous. Salad is fresh.

HUGE portions, clean tables, excellent customer service. We ordered the chicken & gyoza, omu rice, and krispy pollo-rito. Our family of four ate well, enjoyed it all, and have leftovers that would easily feed us again for dinner. Steady traffic of regulars and to go orders. If we lived closer we'd return regularly too. read more

My family and I been coming to esther for about 20 years everything on the menu is fresh, flavorful, and made with care, but what really sets this place apart is Esther herself. She remembers her regulars, asks about your day, and makes you feel like you're part of the family. It's rare to find food this good, portion sizes this big , and a vibe this warm. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by Wow Teriyaki to try the best teriyaki you've ever had!!!!! read more

Talk about saying it all in the name and not saying enough, there's definitely a major wow factor, but they serve much more than teriyaki! You should seriously come out try this place, the food and the owner. Esther are a perfect amazing combination. read more

WOW Teriyaki is a somewhat lowkey fusion spot that I stumbled upon while on the hunt for burritos. I'm a fiend for teriyaki burritos which were a popular lunch in high school on Highway 99. Fusion burritos around Lynnwood are great and that includes this spot. However, because teriyaki is in the shop name, I would recommend coming here for teriyaki that everyone else is raving about. Also, support local! I believe the owner helps support local students with scholarships for college so by supporting WOW Teriyaki, there's an opportunity to benefit the community as a whole. I do wish this was more public or we could hear from the recipients however. I was very grateful (and fortunate) to have financial support from other local groups on my own college journey. Krispy Pollorito - the bottom of the tortilla wrap is fried for a greasy crunch but it also helps keep the burrito from falling apart. While I enjoy cleaner, healthier burritos, I see the benefits. The chicken katsu seems to be made of chicken breast so it is rougher because there's less fat. Besides that, there's lettuce and rice for a simple, clean burrito that is balanced by the fried tortilla. Not a burrito that exceeds expectations but it's simple and easy to take on the road as well. read more

Great comfort food, from the original owner of Ichi Teriyaki, Ester is back. If you want great teriyaki that you love from the by gone days then you got to go to Wow Teriyaki and see her. Hidden in this hole of the wall place, next to a gas station of all places, lies one of the most authentic teriyaki that you can eat. In all the historic and wonderful Teriyaki shops that you know of, there are essentially 3 that has the stood out in our area. Toshi, the original creator. Toshio's in Seattle with it's skin on chicken and lastly up North, "Wow Teriyaki" formally the original owner of Ichi which is Ester's. If you want that dinner that your loving Auntie once serve you come here and try the food. read more

Portion sizes are huge here! Chicken has a lot of char (perhaps too much even?) and it was moist. The only reason I felt this wasn't quite 5 stars is because I felt they put a little too much teriyaki sauce on their chicken, and it was a little sweet for my liking. If you like more sauce and more sweet teriyaki, you will really like this place. I'd come here again, but ask for the teriyaki to be lighter on the sauce. read more

I'm very picky when it comes to teriyaki - my parents owned one growing up. Some teriyaki's I have tried is pretty dried, but this one is tender and juicy. They also give you a large portion, making it 2 meals instead of one. Esther is really kind and remembers me whenever I call. Cant wait to try more of their food! read more

I needed a quick late lunch and stopped by Wow Teriyaki based on lots of positive reviews. Park right up front and order either via touch screen menu or at the counter. I didn't want anything fancy and just went with a chicken teriyaki and rice plate, which comes with a small side salad. They do certainly have a WOW menu though with tons and tons to choose from. I think the WOW comes from the portions for sure which are immense. You may need a forklift to carry your box out. Heaps of sliced chicken, gobs of rice, and a decent amount of sauce (I recommend asking for a couple extras on the side given the portions). I'm a 6'3 200+ lb male and this thing fed me 3x over. Worth the price tag. If you want a hot, quick meal that will be sure to provide some leftovers the next day, give them a go. read more

The chicken teriyaki was the best in lynwood. It was cooked well and the service was very good

My blood pressure is genuinely in shambles but it was good. A few skips away from my apartment

Came to wow teriyaki from a coworker recommendation. Was able to order off of the kiosk which was quick and easy. There were a few waiting in the restaurant for their togo order but the phones were ringing off the hook to place orders before the restaurant closed at 8:30pm. Ester (owner) surprised us, letting us know we could grab two canned sodas for free! Currently they have a promotion of a free soda with each meal! How sweet! Had a conversation with the lovely owner and she let us know that there are a couple fan favorites on the menu (1) chicken teriyaki (2) spicy chicken teriyaki and (3) beef or Katsu-ritto. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying all the things mentioned plus the sushi and the boba. Can't wait to dig into the food, it looks and smells amazing! Update*** the burrito was so big, I was not able to finish it last night. I was so scared that the burrito would not taste the same reheated. But i threw it in the air fryer and the flavors came together just as well as they did the night before.! read more
