" An absolute gem in the U District! The chicken teriyaki special is a must-try. It comes with a hearty side of rice and crisp salad. The staff is friendly, and the ambiance has a charming, laid-back feel that makes it perfect for casual dining. I’ve been a loyal customer after my first visit and continue to bring friends along. Restaurant doesn't look fancy at all, but trust me, the food speaks volumes. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype about Nasai Teriyaki, I finally made a visit during lunch hour. I was greeted with a smile and quickly placed my order for chicken teriyaki. The service was prompt, and my meal came out fast. The flavors were on point; however, I found the chicken to be a bit dry, and the rice was a little undercooked. Despite that, I think it deserves another chance as I’m sure they have their off days. " (*Curated Review*)

" disappointing! I was really looking forward to my meal based on the reviews, but I found the chicken teriyaki overly sweet and almost sickening. The portions were decent, but not enough to make up for the taste. On top of that, the service was sluggish when I visited, which added to the frustration. While I noticed they had a decent crowd, I'm not sure if I'll be returning anytime soon. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but I expected better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been visiting Nasai Teriyaki for years, and their quality has always been consistently good. Their teriyaki sauce is well-balanced and complements the meat perfectly. The gyoza is also a must-try; they are usually crispy and delicious. I appreciate that the owner remembers me, which adds a nice touch to the experience. Although it's sometimes hard to find seating during peak hours, I absolutely love coming here for lunch. It's become a routine for me to stop by after class, and I always leave satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, the gyoza stole the show here! They were perfectly fried with an amazing filling. However, the chicken teriyaki was a bit bland compared to what I’m used to. The portions were decent, but I expected more flavor overall. The environment suits casual dining well, but just don’t expect a high-end experience. You'll leave satisfied, just not wowed. " (*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*)
