Consistently Delicious Teriyaki for Over a Decade
I've been a loyal customer at Nasai Teriyaki for over 10 years, and they consistently serve the best teriyaki around. It's genuinely difficult for me to enjoy teriyaki elsewhere because Nasai's quality is so high. Everything is made to order, and they even ask about my preferred spice level! The result is a perfectly charred and absolutely delicious flavor. While I always order the spicy chicken & gyoza combo, their chicken yakisoba is also a favorite. My household will always make a special trip to eat here whenever we have a teriyaki craving! The restaurant is conveniently located in a strip mall with a parking lot, and the owners are incredibly kind and hardworking. I look forward to many more years of visits!

Fantastic Teriyaki and Kind Service!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful! The staff were incredibly kind, even complimenting my partner by saying they looked like Marilyn Monroe – how sweet! The teriyaki was absolutely FANTASTIC, with amazing char and a great serving size. They also had great specials. I will definitely be coming back often.

Best Teriyaki and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best teriyaki in town, and the service was equally impressive. The staff were always so helpful and welcoming. I absolutely love the food.

Consistent Quality and Friendly Service
I've been going to this restaurant since high school, back in 2006. The owners are super friendly and you can often find them in the back cooking your food. Even though I live further north now, my family and I make an effort to stop and eat here whenever we're in the Lake City neighborhood, just to say hi. The food quality hasn't changed since 2006, and I can always expect high quality. Thank you for serving me all these years!

Best Tofu Teriyaki in Town!
My experience at this restaurant was hands down the best teriyaki I've had in town! The service was friendly, and the cook time was quick. The food was absolutely delicious, with the tofu teriyaki being a standout and the best in the area.

Exceptional Teriyaki Gem in Seattle
My experience at this teriyaki place in Seattle was outstanding. I found it to be one of the best I have ever tasted in this country. I sincerely hope that everyone continues to support this lovely small business.

Amazing Teriyaki, Great Owners!
My experience at Nasai Teriyaki was SO GOOD! The quality of the food is amazing, the price is right, and the portions are big. I have to start by saying their rice is cooked to absolute perfection – so good and sticky, unlike the boxed rice competitors use. I'm usually picky about meat because I can't stand chewy, fatty textures, so I'd stick with fried tofu. However, their meat is the opposite; it actually looked and smelled like real chicken. I tried some and was SO HAPPY IT WAS REAL CHICKEN! The prices are low and the portions are LARGE; it took me a couple of days to finish mine! Last but not least, the owners are awesome – very friendly, kind, humble people, and it was a joy meeting their family. I truly can’t recommend this place enough.

Undercooked Chicken and a "Fun" Morning
My experience at this restaurant was unfortunately negative due to the food quality. I don't think my chicken was cooked all the way. As I was the last customer, it seemed like they were in a hurry to get everything out. This led to a "fun" morning for me, including calling out sick. While the people were nice, I hate to leave a review like this, but my night and morning were not so nice.

Delicious Food, High Prices
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with great food and large portions. The food was very delicious and tasty. The customer service was also excellent, and the areas were clean. Service was quick and easy. The only drawback was the prices; it's very expensive for even one plate.
