Ichiban Teriyaki

Classic greater-Seattle area teriyaki place. The portion size is on par with most places roughly three thighs two mounds of rice and a little iceberg lettuce salad. The chicken was very lightly marinated, but fresh and chargrilled to a perfect juiciness. A light sauce that hits the salty sweet balance of a teriyaki sauce, not thick or gloppy. The gyoza are crisp and filled adequately no surprises there. The menu is simple in comparison to most teriyaki places that have a wide range of other Asian fare, this was more straightforward. Overall, a solid teriyaki joint and worth checking out.

Just moved to Kenmore, trying all the restaurants. Yesterday very disappointing, easily worst experience ever Ichiban Teriyaki. Lady taking order, very unfriendly! Free tea did not taste like tea at all. Chicken Breast dry no flavor, Stir fry more like soup no flavor, nothing fresh. Thought we would be served at table but she made it to go, wanted to eat there, asked for forks she gave us plastic forks. Guess our 15% tip was for putting in bag. All a very dark, not so nice experience, most all our food went in trash. Have to wonder where all the good reviews come from.

I would visit again for the Teriyaki and chicken Katsu but not the Yakisoba noodles. Good location and easy to find with parking out front. Also a decent selection of food options, kind and sweet service but the interior of the place needs an upgrade/clean. Solid 4 stars.

I came in this last Saturday and ordered Katsuo chicken meal. I asked for some extra Katsuo sauce and some teriyaki sauce and when I went home to sit down and eat my meal, the Katsuo chicken breading was soggy and all mushy and the sauces that I was given were four different kinds of sauces. I had three different mystery sauces that definitely weren’t Teriyaki and one of them even had seeds in it so yeah, I have no clue what any of them were besides the katsuo sauce. An I got all that for the wonderful price of $21.38. So I was not in the least bit satisfied with this place. I would not recommend it.

the best teriyaki, if you want to try it, come here necessarily, large portions, the beef is served on the skewer, as bbq, the taste is like steak, tender and sweet. service polite and affable, I'll visit them again.
