Nasai Teriyaki - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant has been consistently wonderful. It was my favorite place to eat during college, and even now at 53 years old, it remains my absolute favorite. I simply LOVE IT.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the chicken and beef teriyaki, which was awesome 👌. It came with a salad and the amount of food given was so generous that I was only able to eat half. I ate the rest later on in the evening. The taste was extraordinary 😋.

My experience at this restaurant has been consistently positive, especially regarding the delicious food. I've been a patron since 2000, which speaks to the enduring quality of their offerings. The service and atmosphere have also been rated a perfect 5, indicating a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience.

I visited on a weekday around 5: 30 PM, and the restaurant was completely empty. When I inquired about the chicken and gyoza, I received minimal response. I ordered, and it turned out there was a chicken and gyoza option and a chicken gyoza combo that included a drink for the same price. I believed I had ordered the combo, but when I went to get my drink, I was told I hadn't. As a first-time customer seeking information, this detail wasn't clarified, which felt unhelpful. The staff member seemed bothered and possibly having a bad day, giving the impression they wanted me to leave quickly. My food arrived within minutes, raising concerns about freshness. Upon tasting, the chicken was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours, likely reheated from lunch. I paid $20 for a meal and expected better quality than leftover chicken from under a heater. This was the driest chicken I've ever had. Compared to a nearby teriyaki place that offers a free drink with a meal, this felt stingy, especially since the lack of explanation led to me not ordering the combo. I couldn't finish the chicken due to its dryness and the thought of it sitting out, so I left to get dinner elsewhere. The staff's behavior, including staring while I refilled my water, added to the pressure to leave. Neither staff member smiled once.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The service was superb, with staff who were friendly, customer service and satisfaction oriented. The woman taking my order was particularly kind and social, recognizing and greeting regular customers. The prices were fair, and the food was truly delicious. It was cooked to order, ensuring hot foods were hot, and was perfectly seasoned and balanced – not salty or dry. They offer great options. Finding parking on a Thursday afternoon was convenient. The interior dining area is cozy, though it doesn't have a lot of seating space, making it ideal for a quick bite. I would definitely come back.

What a fantastic place! I used to be a regular here when attending the UW as an undergraduate student. Now, 25 years after, I make sure to stop by here every time I’m in Seattle. They never disappoint! The Nasai Special with chicken and gyoza is the same, equally flavorful and delicious as I remember it. For those looking for an honest and good teriyaki meal in a casual setting without additional whistles and bells, this is your place!

My experience at this restaurant was for a casual teriyaki meal in a no-frills space. The food arrived very quickly, and the portions were huge. It's a great option for a quick and filling meal on a budget, and it remains one of the last good teriyaki places in the walkable area. The prices are very reasonable, and while the food is consistent, it's not mind-blowing.

My experience at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, and I mean very generous. The service was impressively fast, and there were many seating areas available. The food and atmosphere were both rated a perfect 5 out of 5.

My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. The food was very good, and I'd consider it one of the better teriyaki places I've visited, though not a perfect 10/10. The prices have consistently been good. Additionally, the restaurant provided shelter from the rain, and the atmosphere was cozy. It's a great spot if you're looking for a quick, well-priced, and yummy bite to eat.

My experience at the restaurant was terrible. I paid $17 for what turned out to be just rice and some shrimp, with no noodles at all. The portion size was extremely disappointing for the price.
