Shodai Teriyaki — Restaurant in Seattle

DO NOT GO HERE! I REPEAT, DO NOT GO HERE! First of all, the parking here is pretty horrible, you have to park on the street if you are lucky enough to get a spot. Once you go inside, the walls and everything look so outdated and hideous. They also had no person working the front. Once I walked in some 20 year old asian in flip flops comes running out from the back and goes in front of the cash register without saying anything or smiling and just stares at us for a minute then looks at his phone. Very unprofessional. The wait time isn't so bad so I'll give them that. I ordered orange chicken which is DISGUSTING! So don't even consider ordering that. It tastes like someone blended orange peels and used that to season the chicken. And then the messed up one of the orders and once we told the people working there they messed up the order, we were confronted with lots of hostility and saying that we got what we ordered. Just an overall terrible experience here. Better luck just going to the Grocery Outlet across the street and buying Teriyaki from the frozen food section and cooking it at home....

This place is a very bad teriyaki place. I really don’t recommend it. Their orange chicken was very particular and came back looking bright yellow rather than its original color! The smell wad very odd and it seemed like the food was microwaved rather than on the spot cooked. I ordered twice because the food was disgusting at first (the taste and appearance), and decided to give it another chance. My second order, which was sweet and sour chicken, came back looking very red and gooey! That’s when I compeletey lost it. Again, their food isn’t worthy and surely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. If I had the choice to give it no stars, I’d surely rate it that! I hope this restaurant changes. No wonder why no customers were dinning...

I ordered the previous day and the food was delish. Unfortunately, on day 2 as I recover from surgery my Honey Sesame Chicken from this place was uneditable as it had a strong fish taste and I strongly dislike the taste of fish it also had a slight fish smell .. it appeared to have been cooked in a pan that fish was cooked in or in the same oil as fish .. it was so unfortunate, I ended up feeding it to my dog and ordered from schichuanese cuisine restaurant.

I would recommend not cooking different meat flavors in same pans nor using same oils especially when fish and poultry as you see how it ruined my food on my 2nd ever order....
