Teriyaki Time
Inside Teriyaki Time
Teriyaki Time is a straightforward, no-frills spot specializing in classic Pacific Northwest–style teriyaki and Japanese-inspired dishes, located just off Andover Park in Tukwila. It’s the kind of place that resonates especially well with folks who crave hearty, savory meals after a day out or travelers stopping by Sea-Tac, thanks to its accessible location and late hours.
The atmosphere here is casual and welcoming, with a focus on efficiency and comfort rather than fancy decor. It’s a solid pick for a quick, satisfying meal where portions are notably generous. The shared parking lot can fill up during busy daytime hours, but evenings seem more relaxed, making it easier to swing by after work or a day of errands.
The menu focuses on key favorites like Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki combos, both praised for their authentic preparation—the chicken katsu boasts a crisp exterior and moist interior, coated in panko then fried just right, paired with choice dipping sauces ranging from original to wasabi mayo. Teriyaki options emphasize grilled, tender chicken breast packed with balancing savory-sweet flavors, paired with classic sides like steamed white rice and fresh cabbage. For those wanting noodle dishes, Yakisoba with various proteins rounds out the offerings without fuss, staying true to comforting, home-style flavors.
Visitors appreciate that meals come with extras like miso soup, adding warmth and a little extra comfort to the experience. Portions are substantial enough to often warrant taking leftovers home, which is a nice bonus for those on the go or with a hearty appetite.
This spot feels especially suited for locals who grew up in or around Seattle and appreciate well-executed teriyaki—something straightforward and familiar rather than gourmet fusion. It also works well for travelers connecting through the airport looking for a quick, flavorful meal that hits the regional notes just right.
Best time to visit: Early evenings on weekdays or late at night when the parking is less crowded. It’s a good fallback for a refuel stop after a long day, with friendly staff who tend to create a warm, neighborhood vibe.
