As a Seattle native, I honestly had no idea how much teriyaki was a Seattle/PNW thing until I moved to LA, then Nashville. This made me yearn for thin, umami teriyaki sauce with charred chicken and a side of slightly crispy gyoza. Time to make some at home.

@@CalebPerez Hey there! To be honest, I am struggling to find favorites in Nashville. Every time I visit an “amazing” recommendation, I find myself perplexed. Naturally, I am spoiled by all of the great hole in the wall ethnic and American food option in LA and I miss deep, rich espresso pulls, PNW halibut and chips, teriyaki, and the tangy frozen yogurt spots of my youth (what happened to those places?). After talking with fellow transplants here to Nashville, seasoning and flavorful produce (except tomatoes-they are nirvana here) seem to be the thing we’re missing. And great coffee. Only one place in Spring Hill has coffee I will drive a full hour to enjoy. To be absolutely fair, there are “meh” food operations in Seattle and LA and plenty of them. But I was hoping to find 5-10 places to love and cheer on here in Nashville. I haven’t given up hope, I know I will find them, but it’s proven far more difficult than I imagined. There is, however, I have found two gems. Maiz de La Vida in East Nashville. They own a food truck, a handmade tortilla store, and are about to open a brick and mortar. My other favorite is in White Bluff, TN called Fat Tiger. It is Korean - I LOVE Asian food - and most certainly not lacking in flavor or seasoning. I love their spicy pork, hangover stew, shrimp burger, Fat Tiger sauce, and so on. It’s good, satisfying food that makes me feel happy and at home and it’s served by really good people. How about you, Caleb? Any recommendations that I must check out? I could use some help!

Never realize how teriyaki is outside of WA. Really hit the nail on the head the best Teriyaki is anyone making it next door. Every corner resturant place usually has teriyaki on the menu in seattle.

I grew up in Seattle. When I moved to Madison Wisconsin in 2000, I discovered that there are zero teriyaki restaurants in this part of the world. Seattle has as many teriyaki places as there are Starbucks, possibly more! When I visit home every year, I try to make it a priority to have at least a couple times to eat at a different location every time. The best teriyaki sauce available at every grocery store, simply can’t be found in the Midwest! Yoshis. I finally had to learn to make it myself.

I grew up near Seattle and teriyaki is my comfort food. I love how this showed how teriyaki can really mix up and incorporate different influences. One of my favorite spots growing up was Toshi's in downtown Redmond. It was run by the Bhagas, who added some South Asian influences. Seriously, it was one of the best spicy chicken teriyakis I have ever had. It was definitely different but fit perfectly with teriyaki sauce. You could also get kheema and samosas there. The place they were located in is now an apartment building. So many good meals out there, and the couple were always so friendly.

My parents opened a teriyaki (and tempura) shop in Orange County in... the late 1980s? They converted what was a hoagie shop that likely served cheesesteak sandwiches because there was a big ol' carbon steel griddle, which was perfect for cooking big batches of teriyaki. Different flavor than a grill, but it still served up tasty food. My dad had experience working for a sushi restaurant in Japan, he had crazy good knife skills. I remember their chicken being so popular among the Latino worker community, they "donated" bottles of Tapatio and Sriracha sauce to give the sweet teriyaki a kick. My dad's teriyaki marinade for chicken is soy sauce and rice wine. Also works great for _kara-age,_ although they never chose to offer it at the restaurant. I'm sure they would have had a lot of customers for that, but they also only had 1 deep fryer and 1 pot of oil for frying tempura, and managing the spent oil for chicken would be... yeah that's probably why.

Here b/c of Kenji's teriyaki tour. Teriyaki is simple, but that's why there is so much variation in quality. People assume that "simple" means they can cheap out in ingredients or take shortcuts w/ technique. Nope. When u do that w/ a simple dish, u REALLY notice, as there's not much to cover those things up. Seattle is a beautiful city.

I've lived in Western WA all my life and there definitely is a teriyaki joint in every town. Never really had a "bad" order of your standard teriyaki chicken meal. The best parts are the speed of service and the price. It takes about the same amount of time as a fast food joint to get your food, but it's healthier than your typical fast food meal imo (chicken, rice and salad vs ground meat, fries and soda). I'll usually eat about half one day, then half the next day because it's usually a ridiculous amount of chicken and rice. Always been a good deal!

I didn’t go to Seattle often, but when I was stationed at Fort Lewis we had House of Teriyaki and Teriyaki House just outside the gate in Tillicum. If I was in the mood for chicken, then I’d hit the former. Pork or beef from the latter. Either way, I would get a large to go plate with white rice and a salad, and it would be overflowing with food. I could get one of those for around $6, and it would be lunch and dinner for the whole weekend. Breakfast was beer, typically. Barracks life was wild.

Toshi used to work with one of best friends at Miyako restaurant. He would always talk about the restaurant he was going to open. He quit and opened his first shop and never looked back. The reason his teriyaki sauce is so good is because he is from Japan and the flavor is how Japanese people make teriyaki sauce. Balanced, not overly sweet or salty. The majority of the teriyaki restaurants in the Seattle are owned by Koreans, which is their version of the sauce. I prefer Toshi's since it tastes like my mother's recipe.

Chicken and rice is such a simple idea but there are so many amazing variations on it. I love a good teriyaki, where the sauce is not so sweet it might as well just be syrup.

I grew up in a small town about an hour from Seattle, in the 90's. Even our small town had 3 or 4 teriyaki restaurants. I had no idea they were so specialized to the area. You could barely get serviceable Italian, but you could get killer yakisoba. They were especially important for young people because it was the first "real restaurant" we could afford to eat at and exposed you to a lot of "foreign" flavors, which was a flex. Remember, it was a small town in the 90's.

It's been the same couple running it since I was a kid and the wife works the counter while the husband works the grill.

If you want super authentic teriyaki, I guarantee there is nowhere better and no one who deserves your business more!

something not mentioned here is that Grill Bird makes teriyaki that people with Celiacs can eat. They might not be the most traditional but nearly their entire menu is celiac friendly and it has been a life savor. I have been going there for about four years and only was recently diagnosed and Grill bird was the only restaurant I was consistently going to that I did not have to change up in my routine. I will say there is a lot of great celiac friendly food out here in seattle but being able to go to Grill bird and not worry about having a reaction is STELLAR. Also helps that their food is great and they're right down the street!

Yasuko's must be included in this tour......As someone who is in their 34th year of a committed relationship with Seattle Teriyaki...Please look into the history of Yasuko's Teriyaki. At one point there were 5, yet only the location between Ballard and Downtown remains. When I first discovered "Teriyaki" in the spring of 1990, Toshi's was too high-class....Yasuko's was the spot....the worst "salad" (cabbage they grabbed from a bucket of water...no dressing) but the amount of rice and chicken (or if you were in the know...the pork)...but it was all about the sauce...thin and a lot of it. I don't think there in another person in the world who has said "No Salad, Extra Rice" more than I have....if there is, I'd like to meet them.

Teriyaki spots can raise prices but it's hard to do so and also to be a "fast food". It's hard to be largely a take-away business and expect to inflate prices. But if you create more ambiance and be less of a take-away spot, sure costumers will absorb greater price increases. This has not so much to do with race and really relates to how people view the experience.

@@aznvanwilder I get the argument and agree that bias has plagued certain cuisines, where customers expect low prices. It's unfair and messed up. But in THIS case, I don't think that's what's happening. Much more relevant is that these are typically "fast food ish" take-away spots...largely so. Kenji shows this clearly. And there will always be pressure against raising prices for these types of establishments, regardless of the cuisine. By their very nature, the low price is an important feature and draw for customers to these restaurants. Tasty but also reasonably priced and welcoming (if not encouraging) of take-out and delivery. On the other hand, if these spots were designed to be sit down focused and less fast foody, customers might be more accepting of price rises. Not to say the aforementioned bias wouldn't exist, but customers would be more ready to stomach higher prices. And in fact there are teriyaki spots that have gone in this direction, and their prices are indeed higher.

toshi's is outdated brand but deserve to be on the list just because they were the first recognized brand. grillbird and ta joia, nice try but they aren't even "seattle teriyaki." teriyaki joints in the ave that have been around for more than 20+ years deserve to be on the list as well as teriyaki town up in north seattle with their own style of soaked in sauce grilled chicken that's almost reminiscent of toshi's but modern taste.

Realistically around 95% of the teriyaki shops in Seattle are owned and operated by Korean-Americans. Seems like a huge oversight not to mention in the video.

Ehh, my favorite place was a small family place called Teriyaki Bowl. Great Teriyaki, great Kung Pao chicken, nice older couple and their kid ran the place, all around good stuff. As far as the reacting to price hikes, it's not racism, it's that Teriyaki has, as is even stated in this video, "mounds of chicken over rice for cheap", it's always been a food that was great value, great taste and a weird home cooked style feel when you eat it. If something has a culture and is described as "... For a low price", even if a price hike is reasonable, it's more jarring due to the entire mystique (I guess?) of the dish is in that you are getting so much for so little. It's like butcher's cuts of steak, when I was growing up flank and skirt steak were cheap, then everyone found out how amazing they were and the price went up... Despite knowing the meat is top notch, for those that had always been buying it at a cheaper price than ribeyes and such, it feels super off putting to pay for the product at what is realistically the price/value it has always had, but people had never previously charged for.

This list makes no sense. Of course Toshi has to be on there, he's the king, but visitors will not get a good idea of what Seattle teriyaki is supposed to taste like from the rest. They're good restaurants, but I wouldn't go there for Seattle comfort food

It’s nice to see Seattle’s (admittedly lackluster) food scene get some attention. Moving from NY to Seattle was a bit of a culture shock and the food was probably the biggest shock… so when you find a good spot out here, you really appreciate it.

Apparently grillbird is in WEST seattle. That's not a seattle anyone goes to unless they live there. Even with the bridges open again it's still so far out of the way it may as well be portland.
