Teriyaki Way — Restaurant in Edmonds

Wife and I have been coming to Teriyaki Way for about 5 years now. It had always been amazing but was recently sold (about a year ago) to new owners. Since the new owners have taken over, the quality has gone down hill. Recipes have changed (not for the better), they've expanded into Boba teas and other take home offerings from the display fridge that were previously not offered. I suspect is taking their focus away from their core business. Their prices have gone up. Which this we understand needs to happen with the passing of time and economy and such but with the quality of their food going down makes it no longer worth the price. We used to make an effort to come eat here at least once a week but have only gotten food from here once in the last 3 months since the new ownership. The staff is very friendly and polite and the place is very clean which is always a major plus. It's just not the Teriyaki Way of the past, it's just average....

I am having total deju vu. I remember exactly what I said about this place and yet it was never posted so here is my review for this top notch low scale Chinese restaurant: Once upon a time I came here but myself after going to the dollar tree because it was pouring down and they offered me the free egg flower soup, which tasted amazing and the chicken teriyaki with salad and dressing gave me so much good energy. Some food weighs you down and some food gives you a boost. My partner is even pickier with quality and he said the hot and spicy chicken teriyaki was the best he ever had. My son got the kung pao chicken which was so sweet like an orange. I love it when food is cooked the same like they did so expectations don't need to be lowered which makes it harder to justify going back to somewhere....

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Teriyaki Way! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The ambiance is cozy yet modern, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The food? Incredible. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the teriyaki sauce was perfectly balanced — not too sweet, just right. I tried the chicken teriyaki and was blown away by how tender and juicy it was. The portions are generous, and considering the quality of the food, the value is unbeatable.

But what truly stood out was the service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed, and their attentiveness really made the experience feel special. I’ll definitely be coming back to Teriyaki Way soon — it’s a hidden gem that I’m so...
