Teriyaki & Wok
It’s hard to choose a teriyaki place in a city abounding with Japanese fast food. So it is only worth mentioning when one stands heads above the rest—as in the case of Teriyaki & Wok. Located on Broadway in Capitol Hill across from Urban Outfitters, they offer the regular fare—teriyaki, chicken katsu, yakisoba—but they step it up by also serving Chinese food. The thing that sets this place apart from the rest is that it tastes so fresh. It’s not overly salted, which plagues so many of their teriyaki counterparts—the teriyaki sauce alone is worth the trip. And you know that little salad that always comes with your teriyaki? Theirs is actually worth something and covered in a dressing that any head of lettuce would be proud to give its life for. I suggest substituting their regular chicken for all white meat. It costs a little more but the upgrade is worth it. Their portions are generous, the place is clean and the staff is nice. Give it a try.
