Kyoto Teriyaki — Restaurant in Seattle

I originally came here to get a bento box 🍱 but I didn’t see the options I would normally choose so I decided on a Shrimp Sauté plate that came out to about $21.

I watched them make about 8 pre orders (this was about lunch time) and afterwards, they bagged my order to go. Once I opened my order and tried it, the shrimp tasted either overcooked or old. The shrimp was hard. I’m not impressed with this plate at all. I’m really disappointed. The vegetables were fresh, and I feel like the veggies were only fresh because they were already cooking them for the other pre orders.

The place is clean and a little roomy. There’s seating and good selection music playing. The staff were very friendly and nice. They told me 7 minutes for my order and it was given to me right around 5 minutes. So they’re very quick (but I do question if “quick” puts a dent in quality).

This review is my opinion of the Shrimp 🍤 Sauté plate only. I cannot speak for the rest of the menu, which they have a large selection. I don’t believe I’ll come here again purposely, but I would try something else off the menu if I didn’t want anything else...

I ordered this through Door Dash and when I got my order at the door I only got my BibimBap. I called the deliverer to retrieve my Gyozas that were missing. Deliverer goes back to the restaurant. Deliverer tells me to talk to a lady there that was working. I speak to the lady, tell her my problem, I ask her kindly to send the 8 pcs of Gyoza for what I paid for already, and the lady I was talking to kept saying "So you want another 8?". Trust me, I wouldn't cheat anyone out of food, but before she hung up on me she said outloud "who will pay for this?!". 10 minutes later the deliverer called me and basically said that the deliverer was being told that he had to pay for my missing order....

I ended trying to get a refund, but Kyoto Teriyaki will no longer have any business from me. Also, to the lady that was trying to make a deliverer pay for an order that I was already...

Love this place! The lady here is so nice love talking with her. The food is great, large portions & lots of sauce. They have a fairly large dinning area w/ lots of different choices for seating: high tables, regular tables & bar stool type seating. I absolutely love tempura! And especially the veggies tempura. Here they have both options shrimp & veggie unlike most places who only have shrimp. & when getting the chicken teriyaki combo with tempura.It comes with veggie and shrimp tempura! So I got the chicken teriyaki & tempura combo w/ salad & upgraded the rice to fried rice (shown in photo). The price was $21-22 of course I tipped because this is a fav spot of mine right next to a nail shop. It only took about 5-6min to...
