Itadakimasu

Not bad. The atmosphere is sort of sparse and cold. Good menu.

If you’re looking for mass quantities of solid Korean /​Japanese food, this is the place for you.
Service is also pretty good for a mass quantities Korean /​Japanese place.

For modern Japanese food this place is great.
You can come in anytime when it’s open and will get seated right away. The servers are nice and will take your order whenever your ready.
For the menu it may be confusing at first, but it’s usually one main entrée and two side orders. There is a varieties of options for side orders, which is nice. The portion of food and quality is more then enough to feed you twice. I ate here more then 5 times and every time I order something different, I’m never disappointed.
I like the restaurants vibe. The back wall is painted with Japanese trees and if you like to drink there is a bar for your convenience.
I highly recommend this spot if you like Japanese/​Hawaiian style food.

Good Food, Great People!
Saying the name for this place is a mouthful, but what’s in a name anyway? Itadakimasu, gives you a ton of food a small price. And the food is yummy. If you have the urge for some Hawaiian while in the U-​District, EAT HERE!

Food is ok, not excellent but not bad either. The service is very good, staff was friendly and food came fast.
I had the teriyaki chicken with miso soup and salad and a tuna poke. Portions are very big so you don’t have to worry about being hungry after. Chicken was cooked very nicely, salad was nothing special and the soup was tasty.
Overall I feel the place is good for a quick nice lunch, will not be one of my favorite places but maybe that is just me since it is rated very well at Unilocal

Highly recommended! I will not let the lack of private parking or the somewhat-​overly loud music distract me from a very strong four star rating.
My visit was at 6 o’clock on a weekday when the university was out on winter break, so the ambience was calm (despite the music not being quite my taste), with only two or three other tables of patrons – I recognize that a weekday lunch during school could be quite different.
The server was gracious and accommodating and took care of all of our needs throughout the meal. The appetizer of ten potstickers was awesome, and although my salad had water in the bottom of the bowl and not quite enough dressing, the entrées well made up for it.
I ordered chicken katsu and curry on rice, which was totally fabulous and enough portion to take home half, and my wife ordered beef teriyaki and tempura combo, which had an awesome steak-​style cut. Overall, I would give the food at least 4 ½ stars, although you will be paying for the higher than average quality and quantity, but this is better than just a «fancy» teriyaki restaurant – it is a legitimately nice place, and I’m glad I went there for an anniversary dinner.

A big fan of the large portions! The mochiko chicken was fried well and tasted great — with a slight sweetness. Definitely would order this next time again. In addition, we also shared the pork katsu lunch special with brown rice, gyoza and salad. The pork katsu was fried nicely as well, but the gyoza was your typical gyoza (nothing special there). We also had wished we got the yakisoba that another guy sitting next to us had ordered, since it smelled great and looked quite share-​able.
It was nice to be able to watch a football game on a big screen on the wall while we ate and the art on the walls was nice to look at.
The staff seemed super nice while we were there. A few people came in for take-​out orders, which seems to be a popular choice. I am planning on doing so one of these days I’m really hungry for dinner.

*Food was OK, not amazing but not awful
*The hip hop beats blaring was an interesting vibe, lots of F Words and N Words, didn’t really get me in the mood for a relaxing meal
*Service was spotty and it wasn’t busy but they have an interesting menu

I was in the heart of Seattle with my friends and we made the drive closer to the UW campus for itadakimasu. I felt bad for coming close to close, but the staff was super warm. We enjoyed a drink from the bar, which was unexpected in this little joint, and ordered a few diffrent items off the menu.
Chicken and beef teriki, tempura vegetables, shrimp, noodles, and more came out to the table as we all shared dishes to get a taste of everything in my party.
The portions were quite big, which was definitely appreciated. I would make the drive out here again next time I find myself in Sea.

If you are looking for a place that give you quality and quantity this might be your place. I came after playing hours of basketball and felt like I could eat two entrees.
The location is very clean and I really liked the ambiance. This place was lit. They have a bar and a couple Big screens sets up, which makes it a nice location to watch games. The service was excellent, I don’t think I had to ask for a refill on my water once.
I ended up ordering the special for the day which was chicken katsu and gyoza. I added an egg on top of my rice and subbed white rice for brown. When the food came out it looked amazing. The portions were huge and everything looked awesome. When I first got there I thought about ordering two entrees but I’m glad I only ordered one. The portions and quality was well worth the price.
If you’re hungry and craving some Asian food this place will hit the spot. It’s not dirty like other teriyaki joints and the specials are usually a steal.

This restaurant is across from Safeway and next to Walgreens. Street parking may be difficult since you can’t park in the Walgreens or Safeway parking lot so you have to find street parking.
Food: It’s ok, wasn’t awesome but it wasn’t bad either. I got the mochiko chicken which came with with 2 sides (got the salad and miso soup). The portions were HUGE and totally worth what you pay. The salad dressing is apparently handmade by the chef, I really commend them on that. It was a sort of Japanese sesame miso dressing which tastes infinitely better than the stuff you buy at the store. Wish they had a happy hour, I bet that would definitely bring in more people. They also have a grand opening sign outside but they’ve been open for awhile, with no grand opening specials.
Service: Terrific service but then again, there wasn’t a single other group in the restaurant. So we basically gave them something to do!
Overall, this is a great place if you want cheap and affordable food, good for a quick pick me up but not the greatest selection or quality.

The menu here was limited with half size and full size portions. The difference between chicken teriyaki was about $ 1.50 so I went with the larger size which came with sides. My dining partner went with the half size and we both thought that was enough food. Their musubi was good but it was just one big piece and not cut up to share. It could have easily been three or four pieces if cut properly.
If you want to be loaded up with some HUGE portions of chicken teriyaki then go with the large. I took mine to go as I couldn’t even get through half of what was given to me. Snacks for later are always good.
The food was great, fast service, friendly waitress, and very artistic vibe inside. Great place to meet friends for teriyaki.

We found this place thanks to Unilocal,and were very happy we did. We even found parking on the street just a half block away!
Portions are huge! If you aren’t planning to share a dish, definitely get the half-​order! My son’s beef teriyaki was fabulous — tender beef, nice flavor to the sauce. They have bottles of the sauce on the tables if you need more. We also had the spicy pork bulgogi and an order of the Tuna Poke (which was an appetizer but actually came out after the other dishes). The pork was tasty but not overly spicy. A little fatty but hey, it’s pork. I think I liked the beef slightly better. The poke was fab — I could eat that stuff all day. The entrees came with rice and a salad, which had a nice but not overly sweet dressing.
Friendly employees, prompt service. It looked like mom was cooking in the kitchen while the kids ran the front of the house. I’d go back!

Good korean food! I like the portions they gave you — I got the short ribs, yakisoba noodles, and a tofu soup thing. Overall, was pleased with how much food I received on each dish and they came with sides!
The short ribs and beef in the noodles were awesome! I’m always a fan of korean bbq styled meats, and this was delicious. Would recommend the short ribs for sure. The tofu soup was alright, the flavor was very tomato-​y and not what I was expecting.
The store ambiance was nice! The area around the restaurant was not that great, but I was surprised when I came inside. Waitress was very nice and quick as well.

I don’t know if I can say enough good things about Itadakimasu! The employees are always exceptionally nice. The food is always first rate. And they are very accommodating to food allergies!
As for the menu, I’d call it an Asian/​Hawaiian fusion. A little Japanese, Korean, and Hawaiian. My favorite is the Loco Moco, My wife’s is the Kalbi Ribs. And my kids love the gyoza, miso soup, and teriyaki chicken. The tempura, and teriyaki beef are good to.
Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Wow I can’t believe I haven’t been here before! I’ve always seen it across the street when I’m getting my groceries at Safeway, but this was the first time I’ve been here. I didn’t know that this was a Japanese Hawaiian fusion place, so I was a bit amused when I heard that they were playing Hawaiian music in the background. But hey, it works!
My friends and I ordered the Poke as an app, the Loco Moco, Mochiko Chicken, and Teriyaki Chicken. Each dish was under $ 15, but man the portions are huge! Not only are the portions big, but the food was solid too. I thought the poke was pretty good and tasted fresh, and I like the fact that they added a bunch of onions on it, because I love onions! I’ve never had Mochiko chicken until I came here. Supposedly it’s chicken wrapped with mochi, and just tastes a little sweet when you bite into it. I know it sounds weird, but it’s not a thick layer of mochi around the chicken and it actually tastes good! The teriyaki chicken is just like any other teriyaki chicken, but it definitely wasn’t dry. Again, the portion was huge considering the what you pay for it. I got the Loco Moco and it’s definitely one of the better Loco Mocos I’ve had. The steak was flavorful, and the gravy went well with the sunny side up egg :)
Overall, I really liked this place and would definitely come back again. The staff here was pretty awesome too!

The service level could definitely be better. My friend and I decided to come try it out for the first time. Our opinion? The food is good, big portions with decent price, however, they forgot our appetizer. We ordered takoyaki, never received it, and it wasnt even busy at that time. The mochiko chicken was good, had just enough sweetness but a crisp to it as well. The curry wasnt bad either.
We had someone try to wipe off the stickiness on the table, server never came to do it, so we moved to other table. We basically was not impressed at all.
Im not sure if I would want to come back, it wasnt a very welcoming experience.

This place looks a little divey, but they have great food and pretty decent service. We came here for dinner and were seated right away.
I ordered the katsu curry special (which also came with a side of fries!) and he ordered the bulgogi. They were both huge! It was like a whole pan of meat for the bulgogi, and a little tub of rice. Plus there was soup.
The katsu curry was a huge plate of rice with the biggest piece of katsu I’ve ever seen. I would have liked to have more curry sauce with the meal, but it was still very tasty. The fries were super crispy and I wish it came with curry sauce to dip instead of ketchup, but anyway!!!
The staff were super friendly and we were checked on regularly.
It’s very affordable and for two people it was under $ 30 (without drinks). The portions were pretty big so it’s basically getting 4 meals for two people for that price.
Parking’s awkward, but there’s a grocery store across the street whose lot you could probably borrow.

A small bar and restaurant named for the Japanese phrase that indicates one is about to start eating, Itadakimasu serves Korean and Hawaiian comfort food.
We ordered the Garlic Shrimp and the Katsu Curry. Both came in massive quantities. We could have shared one if we knew. The shrimp, along with the Kalbi, are the two highest priced items at $ 20. These Garlic Shrimp are worth it. With a natural sweetness, these large guys were plated generously. I was happy with the vegetable curry poured over a huge chicken cutlet and rice. This was comfort food for me.

Great location, big portions, and delicious food. What more can you ask for? :3
I was definitely satisfied during my first visit here. There was lots to choose from on the menu but I decided on the good ol’ fashion chicken teriyaki with salad on the side since I knew the portion was gonna be huge (that’s what my friend kept telling me anyways). I opted for all chicken breast which was like a $ 1 more. My stomach needs the best, ya know?
The salad dressing was yummy and a good appetizer before the main dish. And as I expected, the plate was huge. Definitely enough for two people or as a second meal. I had a bet with my friend to see if I can finish the whole plate but unfortunately I lost. My stomach couldn’t handle it anymore haha.
My sister got the mochiko chicken and that was the best out of all of us. I loved the flavor and the texture. On point!
I forgot to take a picture of the restaurant but the inside was nice and clean!
