Do I live in Seattle? No. Am I invested in this series? Yes.
I used to live there, so I’m finding places I should’ve eaten at while I was there.
Im here planning my eventual trip to Seattle. I never once thought about going before this series though.
You never know dude, you might be on tinder one day in say, Los Angeles like i am, and for some reason get an amazing match with someone very randomly hundreds of miles away in Seattle. Gonna need to know where to take her
Same,I live east of the Mississippi and I’m invested too
@@Biskybiskfor the best weather, go *after* July 4th. It always rains on July 4th but then gets insanely great.
I love how Kenji started this series with "once a week, maybe a little more than that, we'll go to a different one" and we're currently on stop 6 in 8 days :D
I originally thought "we'll barely get anywhere at a couple a week!" But this nearly every day thing is going to get us places, fast!
Also I love how the tradition has become eat it on the car.
Man, Kenji has a GREAT turn-around time on these videos. I'm an IRL friend of Ben's, and he posted the pic of meeting Kenji just yesterday afternoon, so I was excited to see if/when I'd recognize the restaurant. Lo and behold, it's barely over 24 hours.
That's a lot more Teriyaki reviews than once a week or so as originally promised 😂
bros hungry
yeah, i've thought this for every review past the first. this is like... a lot of chicken teriyaki. way more than i could handle, but maybe he's giving the leftovers to his kids or something? or, i don't know, i feel like a lot of people have that one type of food that they can somehow straight up eat forever without really getting tired of it, and maybe this is his. i can't imagine even the people who work here eat this much teriyaki.
shhh don't jink it
Love seeing the car hood dining surface…and the sauce dripping on it.
Me: Kenji! You got teriyaki sauce on your car!
Kenji: Who says it's my car??
I love this series, it inspired me to try my local wallingford spot I Love Teriyaki and it was awesome!
this series is mesmerizing and I love it
Love this series. You do a great job highlighting a Seattle classic food and showing off the vibe of Seattle.
I have been arguing that teriyaki is Seattle BBQ for years. It’s got the cheap meat with sauce and the grill char. We don’t really have our own traditional BBQ style in the KC/Texas/Carolina tradition, but teriyaki serves that niche for us.
wow ben got a pic and met kenji, how cool
Subscribed to this channel purely for these reviews :)
Kenai: Thanks for this! A true Seattle Public Service for us hard-core teriyaki fans!!! You get extra bonus points for eating on the hood of your car with traffic whizzing by! Nice to know we are Capitol Hill neighbors!!! 😋😋😋😋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
HELLO BEN - I'm assuming he was a fan?
I prefer to assume he was just so bamboozled to find a random guy recording himself eating chicken teriyaki on his car hood that he decided to ask him for a photo.
Side note: D’la Santa, the Mexican place right next to it is absolutely delicious.
Me: Damn, this is gonna be a slowly updated series that I'm just going to have to wait and look forward to
Kenji: Eats Teriyaki everyday
*published* every day. :)
You hit the nail on the head. This is my go-to sushi place solely because it is so close to home. There is also a high school nearby, so having a bunch of options for ravenous teenagers is good for business i think
Love this series!
Hope the paint on your car keeps up with you eating on it!
Looking forward to you reaching my favorite: Oak Tree Teriyaki on Aurora (by the AMC theater). Hopefully you keep going north from here lol.
My teriyaki list is getting longer... Can't wait to see if any of my favorites show up in this series
You're making me miss Seattle teriyaki SO much.
As a long time resident across the street it’s nice to have a nearby teriyaki joint although there are better places to venture. I usually get steak bites and some sushi when I do. The steamed veggies are a nice alternative though. The gyro place Kenji mentioned is fantastic but as with O-Maki it’s really a hard location for restaurants to survive due to parking/accessibility.
if i saw kenji in public i'd be starstruck and get a photo 1000 percent
I've bumped into him and he is as kind and gracious as you'd expect. He was grabbing dinner with friends so I kept it brief
I go to the Greenwood location on occasion. Mostly for the convenience as I find it mostly OK. Teriyaki Madness on 45th is probably my favorite.
I’d be interested to see your review of Ichiro Sushi and Teriyaki in Magnolia!
Hi Kenji! Love this series! Can you talk about how I should heat up the day 2 teriyaki leftovers? I just throw it in the microwave for a minute, and it's ... edible. It doesn't go to waste at least. But curious if there is a better way. (This may be a broad enough topic for it's own video.)
If default microwave settings don't work on something, try at 50% power for longer; that often works.
For microwaving rice, sprinkling water on it first also helps.
Don't be afraid to separate the rice from the teriyaki and reheat them by different methods. They weren't originally cooked in the same way, after all. :)
Kenji Demuro giving us the quirks and features of Seattle teriyaki
One of the weirder niche teriyaki restaurant forms in Seattle I've noticed is the teriyaki and extremely limited sushi menu joint. They'll have a few different kind of maki, about five tops, and that's it. Seems most common in North Seattle and they'll normally have a combo that's like the teriyaki/gyoza combo but also with a few pieces of California roll as a bento box.
Loving this series!
Not from Seattle but I will probably visit cause we love teriyaki. Are there any food trucks? Would love to see some visited if so!!
I never saw one but I left Seattle in late 2017.
There are food trucks, but nothing like Portland and other cities that embraced food truck culture. The regulations in Washington haven't caught up to really bring the food truck game. Seattle native here.❤
Every time Kenji posts I get hungry for teriyaki...
Would love to see your thoughts on Shodai Teriyaki! Got me through college but haven't been back in a few years.
Last I checked Toshi’s in Mill Creek was being run by Toshi himself. You should try to meet him!
Awesome video series! Just curious what is your filming set up while eating? I see your hands free!!
Meta Rayban glasses.
Even though you had to pay the additional $8 for clearly disappointing dumplings, did they at least give you more than you would have expected if they were within a combo? It wouldn't have turned disappointment into delight... but getting a bit more quantity wouldn't hurt either...
For me I *always* go with a large portion of spicy chicken teppanyaki with rice as my go to teriyaki order. Do the original Seattle teriyaki joints do a teppanyaki situation as a standard menu item?
Never seen it.
@@genjii931 ahh- so probably regional to my city.
You should try D' La Santa right next door too, great tacos
They should all include Japanese hot mustard! Thanks for playing the field. Maybe pho and bah mi should be next?
Why? It's not Japanese. :)
I did a similar thing, but with cheap dumplings in NYC. We tried 10 different places.
What was your favorite? I did this at Serious Ears years ago. (Dumplings and sesame pancakes from every Chris dumpling shop in the city)
Have you ever tried Yasukos Terryaki
3200 15th Ave w
Seattle
Close to Ballard?
I like the idea of teriyaki and sushi.
Love this series! But curious why the video always looks like it was filmed in horizontal, cropped to vertical, then uploaded in horizontal?
It’s shot vertical with my Rayban meta glasses.
@@JKenjiLopezMain cool, I hadn't heard of those!
Man I miss places like that. The closest thing we have is a terrible Hawaiian restaurant. I mean they have teriyaki, it's just not very good. I miss katsu, and that momiji sauce, and the little salads with the poppy seed dressing.
Teriyaki Plus in Kirkland, they have a garlic dipping sauce that'll straight murder anything any other place has to offer
Thanks for this tip. I've seen this one from the bus when riding through and often wondered if it was worth getting off to pick up an order. Now I'll try it❤
i work super close to here! gotta check it out!
Ohana Teriyaki in Lynnwood 👍🏼
Kami’s in Renton.
You can throw a baseball and hit my house from that restaurant. That said, I never eat there because it's pretty bad teriyaki. The stuff tastes like it's been sitting in a pot or a steam bin as there is very little char flavor and none of those dry, crisp edges. I think that he's being pretty generous here in his review and description. It hurts me to say it because it's my neighborhood and we walk by there almost every day, but if you're going to eat at that location, I recommend either the gyro place he mentioned or getting a slice of pizza at Pagliacci instead.
The next time you're in Portland, I'd love to know what you think of Du's Grill.
Du's closed down.
@carolynwarfield1057 please cite your sources, because I ate there very recently
@carolynwarfield1057 the one in the burbs closed down, you made my heart race a little. The OG on sandy in pdx is still alive and kicking.
What do you do with all of the leftovers?!?!
KEEP IT GOING KENJI
Toshi's in Mill Creek cooks fresh to order
You need to cap this series off with some teriyaki recipes yourself, that would be awesome.
Nothing like driving by and seeing a dude eating teriyaki on the hood of his car with a GoPro on his head 🤣.
Teriyaki Bowl, 3121 E Madison St #100, Seattle, WA 98112
I hope you go here. I'm nearly certain they cook everything fresh to order because you can hear the pans start to sizzle after you order. It's been run by the same family for 30 years I believe, the person who takes my order hasn't changed since I was five!
🌻🌻🌻
LOVE U KENJI
Sucks you started your delve into Eastsides Teriyaki with Toshis when right next door is Teriyaki Time which is cheaper and really good. Best spicy chicken around since Teriyaki Town 2 closed.
Lets gooooooo
can you do teriyaki in Renton
The first thing his wife's gonna say when she comes home later is "hmm, looks like today's teriyaki sauce had a good texture, not too thick huh?" And when ken says "right! you already saw my video?" She'll say "nope, saw the droplets you left on the car"
MAN, all these vids are making me so sad that i don't live in the USA any longer. simply because asian American food is sooo legit!! on the east coast we had a lot more hibachi type stuff similar to this. americans have no idea how good they have it when it comes to food options!!
Maybe no food videos on clear liquid day. Makes me hungry.
Am I the only one who is actually looking for a simple/authentic thick teriyaki sauce recipe ?
🙏 Thanks in advance 😊
Please make a video with a recipe!
Wipe that sauce off the hood!!!
I’m always suspicious of Teriyaki + Sushi spots. I want my sushi spot to be dedicated to sushi!
Sadly I can’t really think of any teriyaki places that I’ve been to in Seattle that really stand out in my mind. Teriyaki tends to lump into two categories for me; solid or bad. It’s hard to go wrong in my opinion, but when it does, it’s usually due to gloopy, over-sweet sauce, or a quality issue such as freshness, wilted lettuce, or stale/dry rice.
Other than that, it’s usually solid.
If anyone has a recommendation of a teriyaki joint in Seattle that I should try to blow my preconceptions out of the water, by all means make suggestions!
Seattle food is so bad. Like really, really bad. I'm suffering 😭
Cringe lord
ohhhh, so when you said the other day in that comment that dogs are a great judge of character, you were saying it because that dog wouldnt stop barking in the background of kenji's video and were implying kenji is unlikable for some reason? So the theme is you have some weird and probably dumb vendetta against him and are following his teriyaki review videos to post immature little hate comments until you hopefully make him cry or something???
@@Zach-h2l Bahahaha this is awesome
