Teriyaki,etc! — Restaurant in Bothell

Be aware: the gluten free food there, isn't gluten free! I was excited to see that gluten free teriyaki chicken/pork was an option at this restaurant. The staff told me that the gluten free items are even cooked separate to prevent contamination. For my last meal there, I ordered a mixture of pork and chicken. However, when I got home, the order came with gyoza. I called and was told that a comp meal would await me since that one was contaminated. When I went down to get it, I decided to get a gluten free chicken for someone else who eats low sodium. So I inquired if the gluten free meats are marinated with anything prior to grilling (because I didn't want any sodium). The lady (who is almost always at the counter) told me that they use regular soy sauce (NOT gluten free) to marinade ALL the chicken before grilling. I told her that they can't be selling the chicken as gluten free because it isn't. She got very upset and told me that I shouldn't be eating there then. She had always been very nice and smile until that moment. If you can't tolerate gluten,...

On the top, this place seems like a typical Teriyaki place. Similar menu items, typical set up. With that, it would get a 3 star review. The last two times I ordered their advertised "Orange Chicken and Eggroll" but got their Orange Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken Combo instead. I'm not uber picky, but it seems that they don't even care to listen to the orders close enough. And the Orange Chicken sauce was just a dribble (the opposite of drenched).

There's lots of good reviews and people who go there regularly. If you go there regularly look around. Look up, look at the walls, look around the kitchen (you can plainly see it). There's things there that really make me uncomfortable eating the food. Dust bunnys hanging off of the vent over the food. The walls look like they haven't been cleaned in years. Caked oil residue and dust give the walls a furry look. I'm pretty sure that these types of things don't show up in the Health Department checks (cause they had one 4 months ago and no mention of it). But it should be a concern for...

I've been reluctant to order from this place as many times as I've past by one to the hotel bc it looks like a dump from the outside looking in. Let's just say that it is as well a filthy looking kitchen area with old cookware and bugs flying in from the outside. I ordered the chicken n beef combo side steamed veggies and vegetable tempura. Needless to say it was a disappointment 😔 The vegetable tempura was wack!! Tempura is supposed to be light and crispy instead it was heavy, dull looking, tasteless and over battered to dry. It came with a sauce u thought would be sweet and savory instead it was spicy and vinegared like a vinaigrette 😩 I tossed in in the trash upon 1st bite. The teriyaki was just alright but I lost my appetite for it thinking about that filthy kitchen and how she prepared the food in general. For a state that specializes in teriyaki her recipe takes last to no prize at all in my book. Not being mean as they were nice people I'm just keeping it real as a...
