Delicious, quick, simple teriyaki meal to go. If you have driven past for years, its time to stop and try.

This past Sunday, I stopped by Yausko's Teriyaki because it was one of the very few teriyaki spots open on Sunday. Upon entering, their staff was welcoming and patient with me as it was my first time there. Since their menu had limited choices, it was easy to decide, so I ordered the spicy chicken teriyaki. The dining atmosphere, more suited for a quick bite on the go, featured minimal seating arrangements for those preferring to linger. While the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki was flavorful, it lacked the anticipated spiciness, prompting me to use the Siracha sauce they had on hand. Additionally, the price tag that comes with the teriyaki is a bit steep at $16; I would return if I had a craving for it on a Sunday.

Awesome teriyaki joint right off Interbay with extremely fast service and great prices. If it is available (they often sell out) definitely get the half chicken! The sticky skin is to die for and the chicken is extremely tender.

I'm so thrilled I found this place. It's the only place I know that serves half chicken teriyaki. It is amazing! Juicy and so flavorful.

Yasuko worked for Toshi's original restaurant on Roy St in Uptown, who is credited with the teriyaki trend in Seattle. 1 of the last places that still sells the 1/2 chicken with leg, thigh, & wing dark meat attached. Dark meat is tastier because it's closer to the bone & gets more blood. Need to call ahead & reserve because it sells out & just left with breast which I only like on a woman. Koreans changed it to dry a$$ breast & have to make up for the dryness with all the teriyaki sauce. I introduced it to a friend and another friend walked in & recognized the smell. He often went to the former 1st Hill location. This is the last Yasuko's left and place for classic Seattle teriyaki! BTW- there's a cannabis shop next door too.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. A husband and wife team who have been making teriyaki for longer than I can imagine. The food was packed with flavor, and the portions were sizable enough to have a dinner and lunch the next day. I wish I could convince this couple to pull up roots and come to the East Coast so that I can eat there teriyaki once a week. Big fan.!

Had a delicious spicy chicken with rice and pickled cabbage. If you have a protein, rice, and veggie craving, this is the place to get your fix! Portions are generous! They prefer cash but still take card (card processing fees) and the place is so quiet and clean despite it being a busy part of the city. Will definitely come back

This is a pretty good Teri joint! I try to eat there when I occasionally work in the area. Well I get take out at least as it's not the best place to dine in. I always have the pork teriyaki. It's reliably moist and pretty good serving with rice and slaw. They go heavy on sauce. Decent pricing. Keep thinking of trying the curry but I always get my usual.

This is a relatively hole-in-the-wall place with some classic teriyaki dishes - the half chicken is what this place distinguishes itself from the various teriyaki places across Seattle. Prices are no longer that cheap anymore compared to reviews even a few months back which was a strong appeal to this place compared to others... - half chicken is $11.25 now already, though it is still marginally a good deal compared to dine-in restaurants. I got the half chicken which as a good amount of meat carefully marinated in a sweet and salty teriyaki sauce. Food is ready almost at an instant as they pre-package the food in a to-go bag in advance, but the food still tastes as if they just bagged it not too long ago. Meat falls off the bone, though the large chunks of chicken in the middle are still not too juicy compared to the sides. An ample amount of rice and some pickled cabbage is served to complement the chicken. An order is enough for quite a filling meal, but it is salty enough that I have to drink lots of water to satiate my thirst post-dinner.
