" I stumbled upon Nasai Teriyaki quite by accident while exploring the U District. What a treasure! The chicken teriyaki is flavorful and tender, and the portion sizes are quite generous. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a quaint Japanese eatery, small and cozy, which adds to the overall dining experience. The service was friendly, although a bit slow due to how busy they were. However, this place is definitely worth the wait! I can't recommend it enough for anyone craving authentic teriyaki. " (*Curated Review*)

" This joint is fantastic for a quick lunch! When I'm in the area, I never leave without grabbing a chicken teriyaki bowl. I love that it's not overly greasy, and their rice is cooked perfectly—always fluffy and light. The service is efficient, and I usually don’t have to wait long for my order. If you're in the U District, this is a must-visit spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, my first experience here was less than great. I specifically asked for extra teriyaki sauce and they forgot. When I brought it to their attention, they seemed uninterested in fixing the issue. The food was decent but lacked that wow factor I expected. While I love supporting local businesses, I might stick to my usual spot instead after this visit as it felt too passive for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical at first given the low-key exterior but wow, what a star! The chicken katsu was crispy and beautifully cooked. It pairs wonderfully with their teriyaki sauce. The service was friendly, and they even gave me a small discount for my first visit, which was delightful! I’ll be back for sure; it's such a relaxing spot to grab some food after a long day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little spot! The service is friendly, and the prices are fair for what you get. I especially loved their spicy teriyaki chicken—it has the perfect amount of kick! The ambiance is relaxed but still lively enough for a nice meal. I recommend their gyoza as well, which is crispy and delightful. Definitely a favorite in the U District! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent teriyaki but I wouldn't say it's the best in Seattle. I thought the flavors were good, but the food could use a bit more seasoning. The service was alright, nothing to write home about, and the prices felt a bit inflated for what you get. It's a good option when you're in the area, but I'd probably choose elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wanted some comfort food after a long week, and Nasai Teriyaki has a great vibe for just that. The food was good, but the highlights were the gyoza and the friendly service. I felt welcomed and looked after, although the teriyaki was a bit more bland compared to other places I’ve tried. Still, it's a nice place to unwind and enjoy some decent eats. " (*Curated Review*)
