L L Teriyaki - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was disappointing because the business was closed when we visited, despite it being posted as a time they should be open. This made it impossible to dine there.

My experience at this Rainier Valley staple was fantastic! The teriyaki is perfectly balanced, not too sour, not too salty, and not too sweet. They also offer a spicy option 🥵. We make it a point to visit at least once a month. The owners/managers are incredibly sweet and great with our kids. The vegan/veg options are delicious and always fresh. I highly recommend this place.

10 out of 10 would eat here again! This is a one-woman show, and she does it all. Even with that, the wait is about no time at all. She knows regulars and has food ready for them. The food is phenomenal, and the seating area is cozy. Let's talk about the food: portions are huge for what you pay. You could easily share the portions, and easily have leftovers for two meals, depending on the portion size you like. There are also lunch portions, and even those are large. Drinks: BOBA tea for $5. 00! A large size drink, and the BOBA pearls are cooked perfectly by her. Several flavors to choose from. I'd come here just for the BOBA tea. Best hole-in-the-wall yakisoba restaurant!

I was a semi-regular at this restaurant for convenience and price. The meat quality was low, but the portions were decent, making it a good option for a budget-conscious high-school teacher like myself. Last week, I waited in line for over 20 minutes, out the door and in the rain, being pushed and shoved by children around me. When I finally reached the counter, ready to order and pay with my card, I was denied service. The reason given was that the children had been waiting too long for their food, and I should have ordered over the phone. I was the only adult turned away. I only intended to order one item and typically spend more than most of the children, so I was very frustrated and confused. I left quietly to avoid arguing in front of my own children, as my "meal was going to take too long. " I would recommend Rainier Teriyaki, just one block away. While their prices are higher, the food is 10 times better, it's less crowded, of higher quality, and likely won't waste your whole lunch by turning away a hungry and ready-to-pay customer. Hope this helps.

During our 4th of July 2024 visit, we discovered this gem. The pictures promised good food, and it delivered! A young man provided incredibly kind service, crafting a delicious pineapple boba tea smoothie-style with genuine care. We also witnessed a heartwarming moment as the owner's grandma visited, showing affection for her grandson. The food was great, the prices were great, and it's clear this is a hard-working family behind it all. We'll definitely be back!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's the BEST teriyaki spot in town. The service was amazing, and all the food is delicious. They focus on quality food and have kind owners. I highly recommend this place.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed the good portions and the value for food on the menu. The service was quick, and the people operating were friendly and happy to accommodate changes, such as having sauce on or to the side. I tried the chicken teriyaki and the wings.

My experience at this restaurant was marred by what I perceived as racist service. The staff member gave a discount to a Chinese customer, charging them $10, but then charged me, an African customer, $20 for the same item. This differential pricing based on ethnicity is unacceptable.

My experience at LL Teriyaki was a great lunch. I was greeted immediately upon walking in. Although it initially seemed a little cold, the hustle and bustle of the shop was noticeable. I requested a custom order (half chicken half beef, double meat over yakisoba), and the response, "yes we can do it for you, " was a game-changer, especially since I wasn't in the best mood. The meal was prepared quickly, and while waiting, I was offered refreshments, which showed awesome attentiveness. Upon getting home, I initially thought the taste was a little off, but realized it was simply not as salty or drowning in sauce. The veggies were still crisp and provided a fulfilling touch, preventing overindulgence. For a fast lunch that satisfies, stop into LL Teriyaki.

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional! I had the most delicious Pho I've ever tasted. Honestly, anything that you order is going to be delicious. The service was great, the taste was outstanding, and the size of the portions was generous. It's truly one of the best places in the Seattle area. A must visit restaurant! Thank you Lien (the chef!) for the amazing food.
